Actually, Framesets are a modern HTML standard: HTML4.01 - 16 Frames[^] and XHTML 1.0[^]

Frames have been dropped from XHTML 2.0 and even in XHTML 1.0 the W3C recommends not using them.

They only kept them in XHTML 1.0 to ensure older sites encoded using frames have a chance to re-code.

Frames are bad in 99% of cases.

Actually, they are part of XHTML 2.0[^], but as XFrames, to quote the current draft: "XFrames not published yet - We need a reference to XFrames here, but XFrames is not yet public."

LOL well exactly, Frames as in the Frames we know and lo.. hate are not part of XHTML 2.0.

From what I have read, XFrames intends to retain the good parts of Frames and get rid of the horrible parts of Frames, like URLs etc.

Add this

<frame src="left.html" name="leftside" scrolling=no>

to your frame tag. As was said above though, tables are much easier, but I guess this is kind of late advice if you have already finished your page. For next time or upgrade though:

<table><br />
<tr><br />
<br />
<td> I am your left frame</td><br />
<br />
<td> I am your middle frame</td><br />
<br />
<td> I am your right frame</td><br />
<br />
</tr><br />
</table>

As you can see, you can put whatever you like inside this table framework. Other tables, menu's, etc. For an example check out www.lowveldinfo.com[^] - we built it using tables this way.

This doesnt work properly if a frame has more content (vertically). Those contents goes away.... I mean those are chopped off.

May be you forgot to mention that the table technique you detail implies you use some server scripting technologies to manage the table content logic, essentially refreshing the whole page for each click. Unlike frame sets.

Shortcut keys in web page?

Is it possible to build a web application that will allow the the use of short cut keys (hotkeys), function keys etc. as they are used in traditional windows forms applications?

Thanks,

Niels

You can on buttons

Include accesskey="s" title="Press alt+s to submit"

in your button tag

ie

Alt-S will now submit the form. You could put other letters on other buttons (calling javascript functions etc)

Hi All,

I am trying to retrived data from SQL server in my asp page via ODBC connection. I have done the ODBC connection via administration tool.
MY Code is:
<%
dim oConn, strSQL, rstMovie, Records
set rstMovie = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.RECORDSET")
Set oConn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")

oConn.Open "Provider=MSDASQL; Driver={SQL SERVER}; SERVER=localhost; database=Movie2002; UID=test; PWD=test;"
strSQL = "Select * From tbl_movie"

rstMovie.Open strSQL,oConn,adOpenForwardOnly,adLockReadOnly

%>
when I am trying to view the page on the browser the error message is 'page cannot be displayed'. The error message relates to ODBC connection I think. Can anybody help?!!

Many Thanks.

k here goes. You code your two TABLEs and set one to have a style of display: none which effectively hides it. Then on click of the button, you tell that hidden table to display by setting this display: block

e.g.

<table id="table1">
    <tr>
        <td>Data here or wherever, not in Kansas anymore Toto</td>
    </tr>
</table>

<input type="button" onclick="document.all.table2.style.display = 'block'" value="Display Table 2" />

<table id="table2" style="display: none">
    <tr>
        <td>Take her shoes, she does not need them anymore, welcome to Harlem</td>
    </tr>
</table>

NOTE: I used non W3C DOM techniques for my lazy assed nature. So please if this goes live, change it to the proper way using getElementByID.

Data exchange with client and IIS5

johnb12-Nov-02 13:21

johnb

12-Nov-02 13:21

Hello,

I'm trying to do the following,
I need to exchange some data from a database stored on a IIS server.
I thought I would use XML for the data format.

Note: ASP.NET is not available on this server.
Note: .NET framework is not availble on the client

The client app is in C++ and the server is ASP.
The client has made a tcp connection to the server and I can send HTTP headers
and get a response.

My question is how can I send the XML data to the server on a HTTP connection and have the ASP code read this data?

Not sure what the HTTP headers or method is to send large chunks of data to a webserver.

Receiving is fine, request a page and use ASP Response.Write to output the XML Data.

Cheers
John

Just an idea, but could you not use the upload features of HTML? Not sure how you do it in C++, but maybe have a look at how it is done with HTML and ASP and then watch the header files (where I assume the uploaded file is stored.) Then you could mimmick it. AFAIK it MIME encodes files for uploading.

You could also just use FTP to FTP up the XML file and then alert the ASP code to get the file.
