Alias, once I looked that up on the web I got about a million hits. Thanks. Sometimes knowing the right terminology pays off ten fold.

If its only the local machine such as my case, you can just edit the HOSTS file and map host.domain.com to your IP. I use this to access my PC via a dynamic DNS hostname, took months to realise it

Hi,
is it possible to read a file (on the server) with JavaScript and embed it to the current HTML file? SSI for JavaScript? Or even better, read the file into a string or array?

Very easy indeed! Although its not embedded, the JavaScript is available on each page you add the following between the HEAD tags:
<script language="javascript" src="scripts.js"></script>

No no, i don't want to include another JavaScript file.
I want to read and parse a txt-database-file...

If memory serves me correctly...theres actually an article on here that shows how to use the FSO(file system object) activeX object, which will let you read files of the client machine (i think).
As far as server side...i'm thinking your gonna have to use PHP/Perl or something to accomplish that...
Perhaps you can use the FSO for server side to, i dunno!

Yes, FSO is just a DLL and can be used by whatever supports it. e.g. VBScript in ASP.
Frankly using FSO client side probably is not the best idea (won't work on Mac or Linux) but use it on server side and the client can be whatever.

Yes...I believe its a COM DLL...

True...unless those OPS have have COM support(i think) (which i thought was growing in popularity, until .NET arrived i guess).
However at the same time...FSO I don't think will work on any server other than windows either....sure it's no probablem to the client when visting your site...but you as the host will pay twice the amount in server fee's, thats my biggest gripe...I HATE THAT!!!
Really it a no win situation, unless you have it client side and it's on a corporate website using an entranet or whatever there called...LAN instead of WAN...??? I dunno i've confused myself now... 
PHP is the way to go... IMO

Nope, but I have tried ASP and I didn't like it all that much, other than it's easy to get things rolling.
It's my understanding you have to purchase (most of the time) COM components in order to do anything really interesting...like sendmail or FTP, generate images or PDF docs, which are always out of my budget...
PHP is cheaper, probably faster to execute and most servers include all the neat libs like zlib(compression thingy???), pdf generation and such...
Unless ASP.NET offers all these advanctages i'm not sold on ASP.NET...just yet...
I really hate the fact ASP hosting is twice the price...tis why I chose PHP instead...sure theirs chilliASP, but i've heard it really sux...so I dunno if my assumptions are correct, but i'll do without...
Cheers!

ASP.NET has all of the .NET framework and any COM or .NET components that you can think of at it's disposal. It's really cool. You should try it out a bit.

Perhaps, but I can probably do just about everything ASP.NET can do in PHP...and i'm supporting the open source market...
PHP is way the hell cheaper too, which is always nice...

First off ASP.NET is as far removed from ASP as procedural programming is from OOP. It really is a vastly different beast.
With the .NET Framework you get virtually all the components you could wish for. Upload, FTP, image manipulation, email etc. For PDF generation you can just use XSL-FO and the .NET XML classes.
Also all the "components" work the same way and are within the framework so no having to figure out new things when you get a new component, quite handy that.

ASP.NET is free as it is part of the .NET Framework. Though I will admit PHP beats ASP.NET on the licensening front, but then 99% of us never need to make our own redistributable of PHP, so that licensecing advantage is hardly ever used.
I will bet that ASP.NET is faster than PHP now. ASP was the dogs bollocks, but ASP.NET is a fully compiled environment now (well as fully compiled as .NET stuff can be.)
All in all PHP is going to need to do something pretty revolutionary (as ASP.NET is to ASP) for it to keep pace with ASP.NET.
But then from the sounds of it your situation is better served by PHP. My situation involves clients who are willing to pay for ASP.NET hosting and we have our own hosting server anyway.
So I could talk your ear off about ASP.NET, supermodels and bra-fitting, but it would not do much good.
If you are ever in a better hosting situation though, give ASP.NET a look. There are free dev tools out there now, the .NET Framework is free and the whole environment is just so much better than ASP.

That is the biggest issue...any web site I design is for small to medium sized businesses...I don't have my own server so I shop around for the cheapest hosting, usually this includes unix hosting packages which usually only allow Perl and have PHP as an add on. Still it's hard to beat $5.00/Month...Cdn...besides it's part of my sales pitch

Hi all.
Is there a way to populate a portion of your HTML page with the contents of another HTML file?
E.g. I have a DIV in a page and I would like the contents of this DIV to dynamically change depending on some things that are happening on the page. Is there a mechanism I could use to assign the contents of another file to the innerHTML property of the div?
Any ideas welcome!!

innerHTML and assign it variables located elsewhere in an external JS file...
Not quite the solution you requested, but as close as you'r gonna get client side...

Hello,
I am displaying a server time on the page. If the server is in a country other than USA, then is it possible to show the corresponding CST time?
Thanks

I'm not sure if there's a standard way to query a user's timezone (someone will correct me if I'm wrong), so the simplest solution is just to have a page that lets the user pick a timezone, and store the value in a cookie

If I want to fetch a list of files from a HTTP server that has directory browsing enabled, what command do I send? Some form of GET?

http://server/dir/ , Directory browsing must be enabled on the server , and it must not have a default page set.
There must be another ways as well, as I have seen GetRight do this with their browser. Not sure how..
Hope this helps

I'm pretty sure getright just gets the same generated directory listing, and just parses the file list

See RFC 2616[^] for all your HTTP neeeds.
But, what you are needing is actually a WEBDAV command, named PROPFIND. Not all servers will have this enabled. In IIS, you can enable WEBDAV using Frontpage Web Server Extensions.

I made a html with 2 frames. One of them reffers to a site where i have to login or to enable the automatical login process. If i open an IE window, type the site address and press enter it will login automatically as i have previously requested. If i use the html with frames sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn't
Do you know how should i fix this behaviour? Is it about providing cookie values to the site frame?

Cookies and Session Information are not shared among multiple webservers. For that reason, even web farms and web gardens suffer from Session Info being not able to be shared.
However, on login and on transfer to a different page, you can have the referring site submit the required information to the referred site by way of an implicit form post or a kind of encrypted querystring token or like that.
