Re: creating a PDF from ASP and ASP.net Ryan Binns10-Jun-03 5:16 Ryan Binns 10-Jun-03 5:16  Have a look at PDFLib[^]. It supports both, plus a heap of other languages. It's not free for commercial use, but it's pretty good. It is free for open-source or private use, though (the Lite version only).

So there is no way to do it directly from ASP or ASP.net, I have to use a 3rd party software to accomplish that.

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.

If it is, will anyone show me or point me to a page that will show me how to do that? ljCharlie Re: Tooltip in navigation bar alex.barylski9-Jun-03 21:32 alex.barylski 9-Jun-03 21:32  in IE you can use the IMG tags ALT property "Two wrongs don't make a right, but three lefts do!" - Alex Barylski Re: Tooltip in navigation bar Paul Watson9-Jun-03 22:48 Paul Watson 9-Jun-03 22:48  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.

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 was born intelligent Education ruined me!. Re: ms access - asp - multiple language Roger Wright7-Jun-03 4:49 Roger Wright 7-Jun-03 4:49  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. "Ask not for whom the bell tolls; It tolls for thee..." Re: ms access - asp - multiple language Sarvesvara (BVKS) Dasa8-Jun-03 4:37 Sarvesvara (BVKS) Dasa 8-Jun-03 4:37  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.....

Loading pictures into a table in the same webpage Txoov6-Jun-03 4:25 Txoov 6-Jun-03 4:25  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! ljCharlie Re: Loading pictures into a table in the same webpage Megan Forbes8-Jun-03 22:03 Megan Forbes 8-Jun-03 22:03  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 $500 for a penny people, cheap at the price, just 500 big ones for a penny! Don't shove, there's enough pennies for everyone! - Daffy Duck, manning a wishing well
