Hi Dave,
Take a look at this program: Gallery[^]
It's a (mostly) PHP program that uses a MySQL database to organize the backend information. I don't know if your hosting setup will allow for it, but this program is very slick.
Failing that, Photoshop allows you to select a batch of photos and export thumbnails and all of the HTML needed to create a static gallery. I don't know if you can add descriptions (I suspect you would have to do this manually), but this is also a very convenient option for quickly creating galleries.
Good luck,
Jon Sagara

There is, but I have yet to master it. I have a website for a very busy club, and it really should be updated daily. But there's no time for it! I'm trying to put all the content into a database, then build a set of pages for updating just the database. The HTML won't change - the structure will be static, but the paragraphs and pictures will be easier to edit. Plus, I could then farm out the updating to other members, each to his/her own activity and no knowledge of HTML required, and not deal with it at all. Look into ASP and ADO for handling your pictures; I think it would work well for you.

You could set up an XML file containing the picture information:
<Photos>
<Photo desc='This is a picture' thumb_path='/path/to/thunbnail1.jpg' full_path='/path/to/fullsize1.jpg' />
<Photo .../>
</Photos>
Then have an XSL or client-side script that represents the static parts of the page and renders the HTML with the contents of the XML file that you upload.
Hope that helps...

Hi All,
I'm new to web development and I'm in the process of creating a website to display information that is coming from an xcel spreadsheet. Is there a way that I can have the pages automatically update their tables from the spread sheet, so all i have to do is update the word spreadsheet and upload it to the website server?
What are some really good basic references that I can latch onto for Web Development too ???
Thank you in advance.

Hi, I need some help in javascript.
Think that we have got a function to produce new objects like this:
function Obj(id)<br />
{<br />
this.id = id;<br />
this.showId = show_id; <br />
}<br />
<br />
function show_id()<br />
{<br />
alert(this.id)<br />
}<br />
and when onload event occurs I create a new Obj:
<br />
window.onload()<br />
{<br />
my_obj = new Obj("A45d");<br />
}<br />
Up to this point every think goes well. And now I want to and a div in the page and want to attach an onclick event to this div to call myobj.show_id(). But I can not find any way to do this. I try attachEvent function but it only gives result when the function is standalone.
Please help me, that it can be done in some way or not
thanx.

No, I'm not giving it away... or even begging for it (unless you are feeling particularly generous this morning)
Seriously, we have a statement display page for our members. This includes any commission they may have made, payments to us, payments to them, etc - usual statement stuff. In SQL Server we use the money data type, which has 4 decimal places, which are essential for commission by percentage. In ASP we display this using formatnumber 2 to show pence.
Now in reality this is not a problem - after rounding up, they might see 1 penny to much, but SQL will still transfer the correct amount to their bank account upon request. However, for our FD, who inputs figures into Sage from this statement, it is rather more of a problem. I wonder how many extra pennies will be floating around by the time the auditors come.
Now we are brainstorming and trying various options for this, but I was wondering. For those of you will financial experience - what do you do?
Thanks

How about a seperate report for the FD which shows 4 DP?
Or, just ODBC into Sage and enter the figures yourself.

It seems that using numeric(9,2) rounds it better. The other options you mentioned are also under consideration.
However, I was wondering how people like banks do it. They round our statements to 2 dec places, and yet they aren't usually out by a penny if you add them up (never in my experience anyway)

In that case, they probably round (or more likely, truncate) the numbers before summing them.
You could do the same thing by using the VBScript Round or Fix functions, or the SQL ROUND function:- Round:
- VBScript: <nobr>
value = Round(value, 2) - TSQL: <nobr>
SET value = ROUND(value, 2)
- Truncate:
- VBScript: <nobr>
value = Fix(value * 100) / 100 - TSQL: <nobr>
SET value = ROUND(value, 2, 1)

Hi,
I am able to successfully detect and prevent KeyPresses for Page Refresh, Back and Forward Navigation. But since the toolbar is visible, I am not able to detect whether the Toolbar Counterpart of the above functionality has been activated or not. Meaning, I can detect and halt F5 or CTRL-R to prevent refreshes, but user can still click Refresh Toolbar button to refresh the page.
How to prevent this from happening?

Is opening a new window an option?
By opening a new window you can take out parts of the window that you don't want ... here is Microsoft's reference[^] for window.open()
A trick that can be used (I use this for a web app I made) is to have a simple page that opens the real page (main application) that you want in a new window, just without certain parts.
The problem is that (at least in IE) when you want to close the opening window with window.close() a message box will appear saying, "The Web page you are viewing is trying to close the window." and give you a yes or no option to let it do what it wants.
The trick, or fix, is to set window.opener = "something" which makes IE think that the window that is open must be a child window of something ... then you can kill it with ease 
Hope this is something you can use ...

Hi, I need to:
1. User click data grid - first column is MsgID (GUID or uniqueidentifier) - it's effectively a row ID.
2. Client side script is invoked. The following happens within this client side handler.
2a. MsgID is retrieved
2b. MsgID is added to the form's collection of hidden variables on the fly.
2c. my_form.Submit();
3. One additional requirement: OnMouseOver for each ROW, I need to set the bgColor of that row to a different color. Then reset OnMouseOut.
I have posted these questions somewhere else. The following is the response PLUS my specific problem in achieving the above objectives.
<script language="jscript">
doDataGridClick(sourceButton, objForm)
{
STEP 1: How can I retrieve the row which has been clicked?
var strRowID = sourceButton.name; ??? Is this... anywhere close? I have the code to do this under C# server-side scenario but never done it on client side. I'm not familiar with DataBinder.Eval (BELOW in asp:itemTemplate) - I'm reading up on it now, but for this to work for me, I need to extract MsgID (first column on my datagrid - a hidden column. Datatype=uniqueidentifier - which I convert to string in C# in server side scenario.)
STEP 2: I need to add hidden variable to the form on the fly - I can do this provided I have objForm.
var objInput=document.createElement("Input");
objInput.type = "hidden";
objInput.name = "rowID";
objInput.value = strRowID;
objForm.appendChild(objInput);
STEP 3: Submit the form and post the hidden variables.
document.my_form1.Submit();
Or should I do:
objForm.Submit();
}
</script>
...
<asp:datagrid id="dg">
...
<asp:TemplateColumn HeaderText="Detail">
<itemtemplate><button name='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Containter.DataItem, "ColumnName") %>' onclick="doDataGridClick(this, this_form)"></itemtemplate>
</asp:TemplateColumn>
QUESTION 3: How do I get "this_form" as argument?... should I use 'document.my_form1' instead? Single quote? Double quote?
...
</asp:datagrid>
QUESTION 4: The solution provided requires a "button" column. What if I want to extract the row identifier (MsgID in GUID converted to string preferably), then post it along with other hidden form variables to another pages WHEN the user click on ANY cell in a row?
QUESTION 5: I need to set do:
<tr style="cursor:hand" OnMouseOver="this.bgColor='LightSteelBlue'" OnMouseOut="this.bgColor='Ivory'" OnMouseDown="SomeClientSideFunction()"><td align=center>
Where should I do this? There's no <tr> tags to work with in .NET realm...
This is a pretty lengthy list of questions, if you dont have time, please refer me to some article which you think is helpful given my particular situation.
Thanks!

Hi
My site in development is using a dynamic system that outputs metatag content and page titles stored in the database for each page, with defaults to catch any situation where no values exist for a particular page.
Now the crunch for me here is that the page is to be aimed at two audiences in particular. International and German speaking.
Currently it is outputing content in english but I need to somehow reliably determine (using ASP3) if the incoming user (or crawler/robot for that instance) is from a german domain so that meta tag content and page titles are in german.
This is especially important (in my situation) for indexing on google.de
Or does it not matter in this instance.
Cheers for any help in this matter.

Firstly there is no 100% reliable method, some Germans are going to slip through and some non-Germans are going to be tagged as Germans. So make sure you have a "English/German" toggle on the site that people can click.
Ok, if 100% of your traffic is coming from Google.de searches then just do a referrer check. It is available through the ASP Headers.
The other way is to get the IP and then ascertain if it might be of German origin. Have a look at GeoIP right here on CP for this.
Enjoy.

Cheers for this Paul, on thinking on it, I think trying to seperate the two is going to be difficult so will probably have to translate the site into german at a later date. Now all I need to find is someone who can read/write german :/
Good to see there is a visible SA presence on this site. I am in the UK/London and missing the World Cup

Hi Syed Hassan,
Here is the solution.
<br />
<%<br />
dim strMessage myMail<br />
strMessage = "<center>Welcome My Friend</center>"<br />
strMessage = strMessage & "<br><font color=red>How are you?</font>"<br />
Set myMail = Server.CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail")<br />
myMail.From = "somewhere@anydomain.com"<br />
myMail.To = "somefriend@anyotherdomain.com"<br />
myMail.Subject = "Hello"<br />
myMail.Message = strMessage<br />
myMail.Send<br />
Response.Write("Mail has been sent successfully.")<br />
set myMail = NOTHING<br />
%><br />

This is another misconception in web dev. I also had it when I first started.
To make a download link, you just use a normal A link. It is then up to the client as to how it is handled. If the link points to an HTML file then the client downloads it and opens it as a "normal" web page. If the link points to a file that the browser does not know how to handle, then it asks you to Save As or Save To or whatever. But it does not open it. That is the only difference when downloading say an HTML file or a Zip.
You can check this idea out by finding a machine that does not have Adobe Acrobat Reader on it, or does not have Microsoft Word. Click a link to one of those docs, you will see it asks to save the file and does not open it in the browser. Because the client does not know how to handle that file.
So you can make a download link like this:
<a href="files/downloadme.zip">Download</a>
