Re: Table in center of page?

Two techniques for you:

Put your ENTIRE TABLE into an outer table, with one row, and one cell. Set that cell to "align=center":

<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<table>
<tr>
<td align="center">

<!- your inner table HERE ->

</td>
</tr>
</body>
</html>

The second technique is to assign a proper doctype (you need to learn about doctypes), and use CSS. The CSS style, applied to your main containers (like the body tag) would be "margin: 0 auto". This means "0" top margin, and "automatic" left/right margins.

Re: Question about content

If I have a forum with content related to a specific service or product, then why do I need to have my forum "hosted" in another forum? I already HAVE a forum.

If on the other hand I'm hosting a forum that is more or less "public", I'm doing so for two reasons. One of those reasons, let's be honest, is to generate ad revenue. I don't want "my" content hosted on someone else's system. Doing so would dilute the value of my forum and thus it's attractiveness to advertisers. (The other reason I run forums is because I'm genuinely interested in the topic.)

What you're describing sounds closely related to what the blog world calls "trackbacks". I hate those, too.

Another way to look at this is to realize that a forum isn't JUST content, it's also identity and community.

If I "hosted" a forum on a system like you describe, I'm in essence allowing other forum operators to have my content MINUS the identity I've striven to create and the community that generates that content. I just can't imagine why I'd want to do that.

Re: Using Hidden Variables in ASP.NET

Hidden variables would work. The ASP.NET ViewState mechanism is just a hidden variable.

In HTML, you simply create: <input type="hidden" id="myHiddenVar"> To set it's value in javascript: document.getElementById("myHiddenVar").value = "myValue" In ASP.NET code-behind, you use the Request object to retrieve the value.

So many ASP.NET programmers waste hours trying to find the "ASP.NET" way to do things, even though the "right" way has been around since the web's inception. Whenever I'm confronted with the stereotypical ASP.NET-induced brain-lock, I try to clear my mind of all Microsoft knowledge (I call it "blue fuzz"), and ask how I'd do this with just regular HTML/JavaScript. That usually produces an answer. Barring that, I try to use Request/Response objects on the server, ViewState variables or Session variables, and only as a last resort look at dynamic ASP.NET Web Controls.

My site has a view articles on ASP.NET topics that might be helpful. Of course keep ASP.NET discussions right here on DaniWeb.

Re: Display a html file on a form

Just a note, the webbrowser control is in fact an ecapsulation of the Internet Explorer browser. This allows you to do some unique things. For example, the html you display could contain hyperlinks, and you can overload the Navigate event. So when a user clicks a hyperlink, instead of navigating, you can do whatever you like.

One application I wrote was to display PDF phone statements, with live hyperlinks (I used PostScript and pdfMark programming to create the PDFs w/ hyperlinks).

The PDF was displayed in a web browser control on a windows form. When the call center operator clicked on a given line in the statement, the code captured that event and link to run a query, popping up the call details in a new window.

This let the phone company use the PDF of the exact statement the customer recieved, as an interface back to call data.

Re: how to make animation bar in vb.net

If you want an animated STATUS BAR, or PROGRESS BAR, something that dynamically informs the user that the database query or update is 50% done, you simply cannot.

The web, even ASP.NET, is challenge-response. The user only sees something new when the server-side code is complete.

One workaround is to spawn a new process, which periodically updates a table to indiciate it's progress. You set the browser to refresh every so often, each time it does, the server-side code checks the progress by reading the "update" table value.

When it's complete, the user gets the results.

Sorry if this didn't answer your question; I didn't quite understand the question.

Re: How do I open a web page with several layers to a spacific layer?

My point was simply, if you're posting a technical question in a web development forum, you have to use terminology that web developers use. The term "layer" means lots of things in lots of contexts. In the context of HTML development, "layer" was a proprietary element Netscape introduced, which was deprecated several years ago (considerably more than 5 minutes).

If you want to programmaticaly set the visibility of div elements, then it would make the most sense to ask "how do I set the visibility of a div element". People wanting to ask a similar question would be more likely to find this thread in the future, a key benefit to using a forum site.

Your originating link would contain a querystring:

<a href="myDestination.html?activeDiv=myDiv2">link</a>

The myDestination page would have an onload script which parsed the querystring, using location.search, to set the myDiv2 style visibility to "visible".

document.getElementById("myDiv2").style.visibility = visible;

Re: Download image from DB and view it...

Something like this, in the code-behind. This is code that creates an in-memory graphic, but you could just as well retrieve the image from a database:

using System;
using System.Collections;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Drawing.Imaging;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.SessionState;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
using System.Web.UI.HtmlControls;

namespace charts
{
/// <summary>
/// Summary description for WebForm1.
/// </summary>
public class WebForm1 : System.Web.UI.Page
{
protected System.Web.UI.WebControls.Image Image1;

private void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
DisplayLine();
Image1.ImageUrl = Server.MapPath("")+"temp.jpg";

}

#region Web Form Designer generated code
override protected void OnInit(EventArgs e)
{
//
// CODEGEN: This call is required by the ASP.NET Web Form Designer.
//
InitializeComponent();
base.OnInit(e);
}

/// <summary>
/// Required method for Designer support - do not modify
/// the contents of this method with the code editor.
/// </summary>
private void InitializeComponent()
{
this.Load += new System.EventHandler(this.Page_Load);

}
#endregion

private void DisplayLine()
{
Bitmap b =new Bitmap(250,250);
b.Save(Server.MapPath("")+"temp.jpg",ImageFormat.Jpeg);
Graphics g = Graphics.FromImage(b);
g.Clear(Color.White);
Pen p = new Pen(Color.Blue);
g.DrawLine(p,10,240,240,240);
b.Save(Server.MapPath("")+"temp.jpg",ImageFormat.Jpeg);
}
}
}

That code SAVES the image. To SERVE the image, instead, you could use:

Response.ContentType = "image/jpeg";
b.Save(Response.OutputStream, ImageFormat.Jpeg);

Then to use this code inside of another HTML and/or WebForm page, set the img src to the image producing page.

Re: Download image from DB and view it...

No, the technique is to create a webform/aspx application that retrieves an image from the database, and streams it out.

Then, the image CONSUMER application would have an img tag. The "src" attribute is set to the image PRODUCER application.

So if you a red and a blue image, you might have a src as such:

<img src=:http://www.belama.org/imageSelect.aspx?img=red">

The imageSelect.aspx would use the querystring to retrieve the "red" image from the database and stream it back.

Re: ASP in ASP.NET application

You can dymanically load images with ASP.NET. I'm not sure why you'd need an "include", by which I guess you mean an SSI (server-side-include). Your ASP.NET WebForm code-behind file will use standard programming to render image controls.

Or, you can encode all your image selection logic in a separate WebForm, and set the src attributes of your img element to that WebForm.

Re: Basic hover code question

First, you can enable a different color (and lots of other things), by using the :hover CSS psuedo tag. If you do so on a hyperlink, then you're all done: the CSS provides the hover effect, and the hyperlink takes care of clicking to a new URL. No Javascript required, I might note.

If you contribute an article, I want the article page to have MY Google Ads at the top, and YOUR Google Ads in the page.

To enable this, each contributer would have their Google "id" stored in the site's database.

I've often wanted a true blog/forum hybrid. I know exactly what I want, until I try to describe it!

I think I basically want a forum, but one that doesn't look so rigidly structured as a forum. Also, I want something a bit more user-oriented, than topic-oriented.

I'd like a site experience where someone could look for things and discuss things on a topical basis, but also go to the site to see what "Joe" has had to say lately.

I thought a really robust blog site would do it, but when I look at the blog software, so many of them use DIFFERENT software for their "support forum"!

So, I think a customizable, robust, forum system, where I could dynamically collect a user's postings into a "blog-like" page, would be good.
