I'm gathering a HTML page (a report) from different sources - images, text, table (converted to HTML) - and some other HTML source.
Now I could just embed the external documents <body> contents in the report page - which would be perfect (for my needs) - except for a style sheet in the external documents header. I could avoid that, but I'd like to know what other options I have - like an iframe - how compatible ist that, and can I have the iframe's source in the same page? what with a CSS-style-definition-block inside the body, what would happen when these such definitions repeat in the report document? Any other options?
TIA

IFrames are supported from IE 4+ and Netscape 4+, so unless your clients are backwards you won't have any problems.
The IFrame ignores the containing documents style definitions (sometimes I wish it wouldn't).
And what do you mean by " can I have the iframe's source in the same page?" ?

In-Line Frames are a great implementation of the frames idea — they allow you to open new pages properly inside main pages, without the many problems brought about by classic-style frames. In-Line Frames are a new tag in HTML 4.0. They started as an Internet Explorer only tag, and so have been supported since IE3.0 and above. Netscape 6 and Opera 4 also now support them, but Netscape 4.7 skips over them.

I am working on my first .NET web project. I have a web application that has 3 web forms. I am using C# for the client side scripting. Here is how it works: The user selects an option (two links) off the first page. Then select a file to load (excel sheet) on the second web form and press the "Load file" button. It can take several seconds (@10-20) to load the data and post it to the third web form. What I want is a way to change the cursor to an hourglass after the "Load" button is pressed and before the data shows on the next pages web form.
Is this possible? And where would I put the code, on the 2nd web form with the load button or the 3rd where the data will be previewed?
Your help is appreciated.
Thanks,
John

I have specified in a CSS stylesheet diferent colors for A:Link, A:Active, and A:Visited. Specifically, A:Active is defined to be red, yet when I display the current page its link is shown as a light blue. Shouldn't it show as red, or am I missing something trivial, yet important?

Active does not mean that style should be applied to a link when you are on that page. It should but I have never seen a browser do it reliably.
When you click the link and the browser is navigating to the new page, that is when most browsers apply the Active style.
You need to do your own "current page" link implementation.

does it mean that I should check for the links and check for the cur page and make the corresponding STYLE assignment?
Is there any other scripting that can help this?

Most the time you really don't need to worry. It is only for main navigation that you want to indicate which page/section the user is currently in.
Generally you would have your normal nav link styles and then one called current.
Then on each page you would apply that style to the nav element e.g. a href="blah.html" class="current".
You can of course automate this in your backend code or even via JavaScript.

Actually, they apply it any time the link has focus, which includes when you click on it.

Try also defining the A class
A
{
color:red;
}
Should work.

I'm not sure if the width attribute of a table used in this case is standard or not:
I always use:
I think the second use is standard and can be supported by many browsers in diffrent versions, the first is not.
Please explain me. Thanks.

What browsers do you want to support? Anything after Netscape 3.0 and IE3.0 will support style="width:100%" relatively well.
You want to avoid putting style in your HTML document anyway. Rather use an external CSS file.

It wouldn't be very practical to run Windows XP as a server in a production environment. The IIS service will limit the number of concurrent users can connect to you site as an example. You might consider getting Windows 2003 Server instead though.

I also thought so.

May be thats a choice for me... in later stages (say after 6-7 months or so). Right now... I feel I need a change.. It will be either windows 2000 Server/Adv Server.

Thanks for the reply.
 But my development needs microsoft technologies..., So I would prefer to stick to Win 2K Server/Adv Server.
Thanks.

Hey
We are about to make an online game, the game will have alot of calculations to do, but it will be a simple 2D game over the Web.
somthing like Fotboll manager and so on.
I have got rekomendations to use C.net(user have to download a software) or applets.
Is Java the only language that have applets? or do C.net have it to? and if, where could i find info about this subject?
What do you think? how shold we make our online game? what is the negativ and postive regarding applets or C.net code?
I understand that I will get more power out of C.net(in a download software version) and that the server dont need to be vary fast, but it will be easier to cheat, am i not right?
Best regards
Snowman
PS sorry for the bad english

You could use ActiveX which is like a Java Applet, only MS.
How about Flash or Shockwave though? Many games out there written in it.

I would agree  Thats prolly the best solution, seeing how writting an even trivial ActiveX control is not all that easy to accomplish. Besides Flash is so...Flashy and full of life and sound already. Why even try to re-invent the wheel on that one.
