Not from ASP, and I've never done ASP.NET, but I don't think there is a way without using 3rd party software.

Is there a way to reliably get the size and date of a file that I intend to download ? I am trying to build a simple mechanism that can ping a file and see if it has changed - only if not do I want to bring it down.
I am trying to do this via a java applet. TIA.

hmmm... let me drift away from your idea... and why not u try to make this process with the difference in DATE instead of size of the file??

Is there a way to add tooltip to a navigation bar? If it is, will anyone show me or point me to a page that will show me how to do that?

in IE you can use the IMG tags ALT property

Use the title attribute of the a element, that is the proper way to do it. The alt attribute is for alternate text, not tooltips (even though IE does display it as a tooltip.)
e.g.
<a href="myurl" title="This is a tooltip"><img src="myimage" alt="alternate text" /></a>
You can put the title in the img as well. title can actually be applied to almost any active element.

Hi,
I want to display some non-English content in the web site (Arabic). So, I opted take some help from the MS Access database. The database stores the english and arabic contents in it. It will pick the respective contents on the user's selection policy.
I change the meta tage content for the arabic as follows....
ARABIC -
ENGLISH -
And the fonts looks fine when it is seen from MS access. But when I show that in the web-site, it JUSt shows as ?????.
Any tag to be added to make the site show good with the arabic fonts from the ms-access?
Thanks in advance!

I'm guessing here, but it may have something to do with the way Access handles Arabic characters. According to MSDN[^], Internet Explorer should handle the characters correctly using the META tags you define. But this[^] note indicates that Access doesn't use the same code pages for Arabic and other right-to-left languages as it does for the more common languages. It instead uses a Unicode version, which IE may be having trouble interpreting in this usage. You might find some clues in the source for your page if you can open it in a hex editor and view the actual bytes of data being interpreted.

I guess... its fine with my IE... cus.... the first step I did for this arabic site was.... tried for a page with the arabic 'letters' typed in the html page. That shows the exact arabic text.... And the problem comes when the arabic content are picked from the ms access...
Will check the IE output and get back to you soon.....

Actually... and finally I found this.....
Session.CodePage = 1252
should have been set for the arabic font to be properly SHOWN from the database.

I so often find myself stumped trying to do something new. I know it can be done, I have a good idea how to do it, but I can't find an example, or anything that fits my exact situation on the web. It's so embarrassing to resort to posting for help, as most of the time it's some little thing that I'm missing but everyone else in the world already knows. I spend days flailing about on my own trying to make it work, then finally post a question that looks stupid even to me, only to receive an answer that's so obvious and simple I want to bang my head against a wall for not seeing it. Grrrrrrr...

I'll gladly answer any questions that I can... that's what CP is here for. But be forewarned that a lot of my answers may be pure guesswork. Sometimes, though, my guesses are fairly good. For some odd reason, it's always been easier for me to spot errors in the code that others write than it is for me to write my own from scratch. Strange talent, and I have yet to figure out what it's good for...

I need help on loading some photos to the same webpage. Here's what I'm trying to do. I want to be able to choose photo groups from a drop down list and display the selected photo group in a table in the same page instead of loading another page that contains the selected photo group. I was thinking of puting the photo name in a a database and loading it from there but then that was too difficult and I don't have that many photos to use the power of a database. So I think there must be some way to use Javascript or PHP to do what I wanted to do. The problem is I have not used Javascript nor PHP to do this kind of things before. Will anyone help me please?
Many thanks in advance!

Hi ljCharlie,
It sounds like a database and queries would be perfect for what you are trying to do. However, if you don't want to go that route, and only have a few photo's, one idea might be to link each item in the drop down list to a pre-built static page holding the photo's for that category. Just do a location.replace to whichever page is appropriate for the category chosen. Hmmm... early Monday morning - I hope I'm making sense
Anyway, there are quite a few CPians into photography, so once you have it together feel free to share it with us

Thanks for trying to help. Right now I have static pages that I load the page in from the drop down list, however, will you give me an example of using location.replace?

Hello All,
I'm using InterDev to develop some sites. all of a sudden I can't view any ASP pages, they all give me an error message "There is a Problem with the page you are trying to view" and Error "HTTP 500 - Internal Server Error"
I checked all the services, and I think I have all the necessary services running, permissions for the web are ok ( I think). I was able to view them just a couple of hours ago. I tried to run the site from InterDev, Browse from the IIS console, view it is FrontPage and preview it in browser, No mater how I can try to access them I can't view the ASPs.
Please give me some hints, your help is really appreciated.
Thanks in advance
