I'm designing a help system for a project using HH Workshop. I'd like to use the same format (quite a complex arrangement of tables, graphics etc) for each page, but I'm quite prone to changing the overall format over time. It's a pity you can't define #includes of some sort (they really should be built into the standard). One idea I did have was to include an external javascript file in each file which would document.write the appropriate html to the page once presented with a few paremeters (long content strings), although this would present delays on older machines and relies on them having javascript enabled. Anyone have any better ideas?

Of course! Use stylesheets, this is the best and common way to keep all pages look same. Your code will look like:
<LINK href=yourstylesheet.css rel=stylesheet>

No, I know all about CSS. What I want is the same html header and footer parts in each html file. I always use CSS to maintain font sizes, border styles etc.

Server Side Include could be used for this, if your HTTP server supports it.

On a client-side HTML Help system?

Oups, sorry, didn't understand you right
Maybe using IFRAME tag?

Simon,
There are a lot of HTML Editors that support templates, DreamWeaver being one of them. Inside the template, you define one or more "Editable Sections".
You then create new pages, based upon that template and start filling the Editable Sections on each page.
Whenever you decide to change the layout or something, edit the template and DreamWeaver will ask you if you wish to change the depending pages as well. Easy does it!
Using DevaTools (www.devahelp.com), DreamWeaver has support for HTML Help authoring as well (just downloaded it today, so I can't tell you it's quality, but you'll get the picture.
Check out my electronic album article (in HTML Help!) as well. It features passing parameters to pages INSIDE a CHM! (http://www.codeproject.com/winhelp/htmlhelpdemoalbum.asp)

I was actually thinking of using dreamweaver, but the fact that have I haven't got it put me off. Anyway, I've got around the problem by creating my own tags inside the html documents, and then using an small console app I wrote to parse the html files and replace the custom tags with the full html. Easy 
Thanks anyway!

For our own HTML Help files, we use our Windows-based CMS (http://www.zeta-producer.de) which can generate HHC files for the HH Workshop.
Unfortunately this application currently only has a german GUI, so it won't help you at all
Maybe you can use JavaScript to generate HTML for you? It's not the best way, but since its not for the web but for HTML Help with IE as browser, it should be OK.
Or use HTC (HTML Components) of IE. E.g. apply a behaviour to a page when it loads and then output header and footer.

I have some code that I'm considering making XML compatible. The data it manages, which I want to "XMLize", is generally diverse, some DB and some flat file. I examined the technology enough to be comfortable with it. But I do have one rather simplistic question.
Every example I've seen always begins with the existence of a large pre-built XML file. Now, obviously, these files are not being cranked out on a keyboard. They must be generated, somehow, programmatically. I can easily build properly formated "well-formed" XML files from my code.
I just wonder if this is how it is typically done. I don't see why you need the complexity of a parser to simply create the original file. Reading it, yes, but writing it would seem a rather straight forward file I/O operation. Am I out to lunch on that assumption? How do the "pros" do it? (I also realize that various database utilities exist to build from, but my data is not all stored in that format.)

Thanks, Steven.
I'm actually just playing around with XML out of curiosity. Something new to learn. I'm going to simply convert my old data in a couple of antique windows apps I have to XML format and than apply various parsers to it to learn how to use them properly. Who knows what might pop out? I was just curious as to how large XML files are typically constructed initially, especially from pre-existing data sets in sundry sources. Since XML, at its simplist, is nothing but an ASCII file, I see no problem with just a simple code set that sucks the data from each source and builds it into the XML format I've established.

Hai
I have rendered an xml document using the DataGrid control. The control is so cool that it handles sorting very easily for me. But when I have numbers in my xml data, it is not sorting based on number. Instead it considers the numbers as strings and does string sorting. Has anyone tried this? Can anyone help me in doing this?
My sample xml would look like this..
<authors>
<author>
<aname>Neal Stephenson</aname>
<aid>246</aid>
</author>
<author>
<aname>Roger Wilson</aname>
<aid>12</aid>
</author>
<author>
<aname>Miriam Noxville</aname>
<aid>1456</aid>
</author>
</authors>
This when displayed in a Datagrid and sorted using the aid column, it gives me...
12
1456
246

I found how to do this and wrote a small article on this. Find this "Sorting XML Data using DataGrid" article useful.

hi
I have a form where a person can post a message at my guestbook. But I cant figure out how to handle new lines. If the user presses 'enter' (creating a new line) it shows up like a space in the guestbook, rather than jumping to a new line.
Example:
hello how are you
im fine.
This post will show up like tihs:
hello how are you im fine.
Instead of creating a new line.
I have tried this to make it work
message = Replace(message, "", "
")
But this created a new line when pressing the space..
Help would be appriciated.. Thanks

Check out the code for Uwe Keim's guestbook. It does exactly what you're looking for:
Guestbook
This is basically the code that does it:
str = Replace( in_str, vbCrLf, vbCr )
str = Replace( str , vbLf , vbCr )
str = Replace( str , vbCr , "<br>" )

Ahh yes, I too butted my head against the stupidty (which I soon realised was mine) of this problem.
Basically, and I don't have a lot to go on here so correct me if I am wrong, you are trying to use a messagebox() method like you would in VB, but here you are trying to do it on a web page based on an if statement?
You can do it if you use VBScript as your client side language. But that is not recommended as only IE supports client side VBScript.
So you need to do it with JavaScript as you pointed out.
This is what I would do (I have done it in normal ASP as I do not have ASP.NET handy here, if your problem is specifically with ASP.NET (and you can do it in ASP) then ignore my whole post)
<%@ Language=VBScript %>
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<SCRIPT language="JavaScript">
<%If Request.QueryString("chkOpt1") <> "" Then%>alert("Option 1 selected");<%End If%>
<%If Request.QueryString("chkOpt2") <> "" Then%>alert("Option 2 selected");<%End If%>
<%If Request.QueryString("chkOpt3") <> "" Then%>alert("Option 3 selected");<%End If%>
<%If Request.QueryString("chkOpt4") <> "" Then%>alert("Option 4 selected");<%End If%>
</SCRIPT>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<P>
<FORM id="frmMain" name="frmMain" action="example.asp" method="get">
<INPUT type="checkbox" name="chkOpt1"> Option 1<BR>
<INPUT type="checkbox" name="chkOpt2"> Option 2<BR>
<INPUT type="checkbox" name="chkOpt3"> Option 3<BR>
<INPUT type="checkbox" name="chkOpt4"> Option 4<BR>
<INPUT type="submit" name="cmdSubmit" value="Submit">
</FORM>
</P>
</BODY>
</HTML>
It is not very elegant (you could use a Select Case instead of the Ifs and combine the alert into one) but it works.
Shout if you need the ASP.NET version, though this will work under ASP.NET.

am trying to setup a login verification page so when a user enters username/password
it will bounce against a database table and return the "ID" if the username/password
is found in the table.
But I must be having a huge sustained brainfart because I can't figure out
how to do this with ASP.NET using VB.
Can somebody give me a hand?
Thanks

thanks . . .

<td>
<input value="NULL" type="text" name="uploadPicTickerEdit" class="engInput">
</td>
<td width="20">
<div align="LEFT">
<button name="uploadPicTickerEditBrowse" ONCLICK="openWindowUpload('../../../mdl/global/upload/uploadFiles.asp?targetField=uploadPicTickerEdit&targetForm=EditArticle')" title="BROWSE" type="button" disabled><img SRC="../../images/upload.gif"></button>

%>
}
//-->
</SCRIPT>
</head>

If I understand right...
You have to set ID of your field you want to change after uploading. Assume it will be oUploadedPic
So now you can use such script inside your Uploads window:
<br />
parent.document.getElementFromId("oUploadedPic").value = sYourUploadedPicPath;<br />

Not exactly, this is the IE way, it won't work on Netscape prior version 6.x. The code I posted is DOM code, which is ALL browsers support.
