Hi all
What font do you consider the best for viewing webpages (generally content, not menus).
This is my preference : Tahoma, Verdana, Arial
Any one have problems with that?

Maybe. Generally good spacing between letters and lines helps readability. I always have a line-height of 130% and a letter spacing of 1px on content rich sites. Also keep paragraphs no wider than 45em.

Hehe, I had justification on the page I was looking at to test the fonts, Verdana seems to look quite nice without justification.

Yep, I like Verdana. Nice and clean.

That's about right!

Justification on the web is a bbbbaaddd idea. Newspapers, books etc. can do it because they have perfected it, but browsers do it terribly. So avoid.
Left align is best. Right align and centre align are also bad ideas

Why place Arial before Verdana or Helvetica when most clients will have Ariel? It pretty much makes then redundant...

In .NET, is there a way to set the browser title in code-behind?

I don't know a direct way but you can put a PLACEHOLDER control inbetween the TITLE tags and then add a literalcontrol to the placeholder with the title you want.
e.g.
<title><asp:placeholder id="pagetitle" runat="server" /></title>
then
...
protected PlaceHolder pagetitle;
...
private void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
pagetitle.Controls.Add(new LiteralControl("Absinthe from reality!"));...

Request.Browser gives you an enumeration rather than the direct title string, but that should be enough, right?

Hi,
I think your title should come under some common header, right? You can have something like this:
<asp:placeHolder runat="server" id=fortitle>
...
this must be within
<title></title>
Within a placeholder, you can have as many controls. But this placeholder since it is on web browser title, you can have something called <asp:LiteralControl runat="server"> and that will be written as the title.
If you want scrolling titles like in DynamicDrive.com, you can simply use AddAttributes and the onLoad as Key and the function as the value.

Doesn't win 2000 count page hits? If so how do you check it? I would look this up but I am far from my computer and I need to send out an email from here. Thanks for your time.

IIS Performance Counters Reference[^] will tell you what performance it measures.
Ususally you use a third-party tracking system, like LiveStats[^], because it offers much more in the way of analysis of traffic.

I am using asp/vbscript to format an excel workbook while streaming MIME Content. I have found out how to put the Title in the Page Setup and to set the printing orientation to landscape, but I can't seem to find in the excel's html/xml format how to set the 'Rows to repeat at top', to get the headings to print on each page. Can anyone help? Is there a way with the html/xml format or anyother way to accomplish the same thing?

Thanks, but I have the MS Office HTML/XML Ref. and I still can't find where to reference that particular part of the Page Setup.

There is an easy way to check it out.
1. Save a current Excel document as xml
2. Change the page setup
3. Save again as xml (no overwrite of course)
4. Make a diff (use windiff for instance)
The pagesetup fields will show right on screen...;)
Good luck!

I am (still!) writing a Web Image viewer for my compnay that allows our Customers to view the images, that we have scanned for them, to be viewed over the Web. I have used ASP, Javascript and an ISAPI Extension dll to do all the database and Image processing work, and am using IIS while developing.
However, all works well when the image Folders are on the actual Web Server machine but, as soon as we move them onto another machine, and map a drive to the folder e.g. X:\Image_Folder, it won't work. I have trapped the message with "GetLastError()" and get "Access is denied".
The folder on the Image Server is shared and "full" Permissions are granted to "Everyone". I can view the images OK using IE from the Web Server machine.
Any ideas? It seems such a trivial problem but, having got so far with no major problems, it would be a shame for this to mess everything up.
Many thanks for any help.
code dope.

Do all the images also have Everyone / Full permissions?
