How can I do this?

I've used the following code snippet:

window.opener.document.forms.password.value = "Fx5dHH4Xd";

This can't be used to set or retreive values in a document in another window.

Basically I have my main window...and when someone clicks help and a new smaller window popups and based on the input the select here, when they click ok the data in the small window should be sent to the fields in the larger window(main window)

Cheers

But it can, I do it all the time. Are you sure the bit of code which opens up the child window is creating a proper reference? i.e. If you go alert(window.opener) does it come back with an object or does it say undefined?

would someone gladly point me in the right direction? trying to write some code to dynamically read folder/file recursively whilst never losing the current position in the tree.......

brain is seriously scrambled! would like to use asp, but if .NET solves the problem easierly then so be it.

sample below.

"Set recRoot = Server.CreateObject ("ADODB.Record")

recRoot.Open "", "URL=http://localhost/test", adModeRead....."

more the designer than the code guru.

thanks in advance

Not sure this helps, but...
You can set a bookmark on your recordset before you gonna enumerate and return to it when finished, restoring the starting point.
Or you can create a clone of your recordset and use the clone to enumerate, while the original will always stay where it was

   wrd.Application.Visible = False<br />
   wrd.Documents.Add ()<br />
   wrd.SaveAs Server.MapPath ("..\extracode") & "\myname.doc", 0<br />
<br />
      doc = "This is a document"<br />
<br />
   wrd.ActiveDocument.Close -1<br />
   wrd.Application.Quit<br />
  set wrd = Nothing<br />
%><br />
<br />

hi!

try setting Word to run under Interactive user acc. You can do it using dcomcnfg.exe

Here change Identitiy to interactive user. Also, using the same program under Security tab, give the interacitve user access and lounch permissions.

Hope it helps...

Consider this approach: posting with a target of a hidden iframe on your page... no flicker, no regeneration, no scrolling.

You could use an anchor tag:

<a name="returnHere">This is where you should come back to ...</a>

If this is where they should always come back to just have the user redirected/transferred to the same URL but with the anchor reference on the end:

http://mysite.com/MyForm.aspx#returnHere

If you have multiple points that could be where you want to return them then you could pass a variable in the post and dynamically change the anchor in the postback ...

Hi there,
You can dynamically write office documents (word and excel) using ASP.

You might find this link useful:

With regards to your font styles you can set this up in the document.

Hope this helps.

I'm trying to use the code
document.myForm.Submit()
and it works fine in IE

unfortunatly it dosn't work in Netscape 4.7
I'm thinking that the document object model in NS4.7 is different but can't find anything on it

Help...
Thanks

Quick question:

Are you using client-side VBScript or JavaScript?

It looks to me like VBScript cuz there is not an ending ";", even though it is not required, and VBScript is not case sensitive. Netscape will only handle JavaScript and the "submit" call should be lowercase. Also, ensure that you do not have any form elements named "Submit".

Let me know if that helps ...

ODBC support in Visual Studio.net 2003

I am considering purchasing Visual Studio.net 2003. However my main form of database connectivity is an ODBC connection to a mySql server. I know that the next version supports ODBC out of the box rather than having to download the ODBC.net driver from Microsoft. Here is my question? Does anyone know if in the new version Microsoft has updated the wizards for Database conectivity to use ODBC commands as well as the standard Microsoft Sql Server SQL commands?

Events and ASP.NET Web Controls

I have an asp:listbox control. I would like to be able to delete an item from that list box by pressing the delete key. I understand that this is not built in because the asp:listbox is a server side control and the server is unaware that the delete key has been pressed while the listbox had focus. I have been told that javascript is the way to go to build this functionality myself. My question is, has anyone done something like this before. I have never used javascript and I don't want to reinvent the wheel if I dont have to. Otherwise does anyone have some code samples about writing events for controls using javascript?

Let me know. Thanks!

Changing the file extention will not change load speed (for images alone), it also won't show the image because the HTTP header would return text/html instead of image/gif or image/jpg. Lose some of the images if you want to get a faster load time.
