Resizeable iframe Jim Taylor20-Nov-03 8:25 Jim Taylor 20-Nov-03 8:25  Hello does anybody have any ideas on how I could put an iframe on the page and allow the user to resize it by dragging an edge (only one edge) just like a normal frame? Thanks in advance Jim. Jim Re: Resizeable iframe allia20-Nov-03 8:51 allia 20-Nov-03 8:51  This is out of the blue but have you considered putting an IFrame inside a frame? set the iframe to width=100% and have the frame as your border... I don't know if that will work or even if you want to use frames.. Re: Resizeable iframe Jim Taylor20-Nov-03 11:56 Jim Taylor 20-Nov-03 11:56  Thanks, for your reply. Unfortunately I cant use frames. I am using the iframe to display another page when a user clicks a link. I am showing the iframe when the link is displayed and hiding it when the user clicks a close button so its all inline to the page. Jim Re: Resizeable iframe Tomas Petricek20-Nov-03 10:58 Tomas Petricek 20-Nov-03 10:58  I think, that it could be possible to do this with JavaScript (but only on newer browsers...) If you have IFRAME surround with four DIVs you can write script for resizing IFRAME using borders created by this four DIV elements... Tomáš Petříček   Asp.Net Popup control www.eeeksoft.net Re: Resizeable iframe Jim Taylor20-Nov-03 12:04 Jim Taylor 20-Nov-03 12:04  Thanks for your reply. I have started to think along those lines now. Fortunately the website is on an intranet where internet explorer 6 is standard so I can use the latest scripting dom. My idea now is to have a control such as a div that the user can drag and have a dynamic property on the iframe that relates to the position of the div. Theres a usefull behaviour on Jon Udells site for moving and resizing html elements that will provide a usefull starter for me Andrew Mayo's resize.htc, a "behavior" for moving and resizing HTML elements[^]. p.s. I liked the popup article and may well be using it in future projects (once I've converted it to VB.NET) . Jim Registration, Authentication, Cookies allia20-Nov-03 4:21 allia 20-Nov-03 4:21  The best way I can think of is to relate my question to what codeproject does: Remember Me? After logging in, how does the system recognize me the next time without storing WhoIs data in the cookie? If I would store the developer_id one could easly make his own cookie as another developer. Storing a password is unsafe and I would like to avoid it. Vote twice on sunday When voting for an article, it is fair to only vote once. How can I ensure that? I looked in the codeprojects' cookie and didn't see any recollection of my past votes... Is there a database involved? can someone suggest a way to approach this issue? Needs I thought that it is wise to store a developer_id and alias in a cookie and that would help out when approaching FORMS throughout. With that, I would extract the necessary data from the DB - e.g. Email and "place" it where it is needed. But, as I mentioned, by just browsing the site, one can easily bake his own cookie with another existing developers' id and alias... Encryption If by now you are thinking why not use encryption, then do you know of a good encryption algorithm for ASP (NOT .NET) ? Thank you. Still Hanging... allia21-Nov-03 13:28 allia 21-Nov-03 13:28  Ok, I am still in need of help but this is what I have so far: I have decided to encrypt the cookie data which holds only a developer_id and alias. using double encryption I can later compare if the data has been tampered with or not. votes This issue remains unresolved. How can I ensure that someone doesn't vote twice? CP rules! Re: Still Hanging... alex.barylski23-Nov-03 18:55 alex.barylski 23-Nov-03 18:55  This issue remains unresolved. How can I ensure that someone doesn't vote twice? Database If this site used cookies....i'd have the best articles on here The word of the day is legs, let's go back to my house and spread the word Re: Still Hanging... Followup allia23-Nov-03 23:33 allia 23-Nov-03 23:33  just as I suspected... and thats why its only for members... Ok, so the database will hold what? 1. A separate table with userId, and a field that holds all the [articleIds-vote] seperated by comma? (and latter traversed with split?) -OR- 2. A separate table with userId, articleId, vote for each article that was voted? Which is faster, efficient and useful? Thanks in advance! I live to code.

Re: PHP Nathan Ridley21-Nov-03 19:14 Nathan Ridley 21-Nov-03 19:14  My point is more that this site gravitates towards discussion on microsoft technologies more than anything, so asking php-based questions will yield much less of a response than asking, say, asp-based questions.

In PHP forums there are no ASP threads... This is a very good developer community because people who use it care about it and try to offer as much as they can. These specific people are Microsoft developers, therefore they would be able to help you. I suggest you visit some other developers community... theJazzyBrain Wise is he who asks good questions, not he who gives good answers Disable copy/paste in a text area dabs19-Nov-03 2:51 dabs 19-Nov-03 2:51  I'm sure someone has had a similar problem and hopefully a solution but anyway, I'm developing a web based solution that is supposed to allow students to test their typing skills with the keyboard. They must basically type a given text into a text area in as short time as possible. Now there will always be lazy students that will want to try to copy/paste the text instead of typing it and I would like to prevent them from doing that. I think I can prevent them from copying the original text - simply by displaying it as an image instead of as a raw text, but the main problem is with the input area. The text could contain the same sentence over and over so they could type it once and then just copy it and paste as many times as necessary. I know that copying/pasting can be disabled through javascript but the students could disable javascript as well . So is there any way to prevent them from copying/pasting the text? Any ideas? Are there any freeware HTML controls out there that don't use the HTML text area as a base? My guess was that if I could disable any input whatsoever unless javascript is enabled then the problem is solved. This could be done if the input area is actually not a text area but rather a custom control that handles all keystrokes itself - and would therefore not work if javascript was not enabled. Wenn ist das Nunstück git und Slotermeyer? Ja! Beierhund das oder die Flipperwaldt gersput! Re: Disable copy/paste in a text area alex.barylski19-Nov-03 10:24 alex.barylski 19-Nov-03 10:24  You could probably disable copy/paste functions by programming the MSHTML control...basically a browser in edit mode..be prepared to write some serious JScript...and it'll only work AFAIK in IE... Also in IE you can prevent selection of text by specifiying onselectstart="false" inside your body tag. But this won't prevent pasting... I wonder now....if you could intercept keypress Ctrl+V and cancel as required...and then prevent context clicks inside textarea so they can't paste into the control area either... You would have to generate the page layout inside SCRIPT tags though and also have a NOSCRIPT tag specified so you can output an error message like "JScript is required inorder to take this test." The word of the day is legs, let's go back to my house and spread the word Re: Disable copy/paste in a text area Paul Watson19-Nov-03 11:44 Paul Watson 19-Nov-03 11:44  You will be fighting a loosing battle if you stick to HTML and JavaScript. You are going to have to go with a Java Applet or an ActiveX control of your own making for total control. Sounds like one heck-of-a serious typing course though regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass South Africa Brian Welsch wrote: "blah blah blah, maybe a potato?" while translating my Afrikaans.
