Anybody know of any good links for descriptions/info on SSL...?
Also...someone please tell me I am right.
Using SSL you can basically promise clients that any form data whether GET/POST is encrypted using 128 bits encryption before leaving their client computer and then decrypted upon arrival to the server...?
Is That all there is to it...? I had a friend explain the idea behind it once and he made it sound like you had to encrypt the data using a module (JScript=Client/Perl=Server). However the more I read the more I think...you don't actually do this...and thats why you pay $$$ for SSL...?
Basically if I coded a order-entry form so long as the site is SSL enabled I basically don't have to do any additional coding...correct...?
Just HTML form and submit...?
Thanx...

Yes, assuming both client and server support 128bit encryption. Some older programs support only 40-bit encryption.
The part of SSL you need to pay $$$ for is the "server certificate", a digital ID that proves the server's identity to the client.

Thanx for the input...or is that output...? 
Which browsers support only 40 bit encryption...?
Doesn't matter...basically all I needed to know is how SLL works or atleast an intro...
I have some explaining to do for some potential clients and thought it'd be a great idea to get the gist of it before pulling any sales pitch.
Thanx!

Is this on the client side? If so have a search on MSDN for "Browser helper objects."

I need a script that when the mouse moves over a link a picture(located someplace else on the page) changes. Kind of like a preview type deal.

Preload images like this:
if (document.images)
{
image1 = new Image();
image1.src = "images/image1.gif";
image2 = new Image();
image2.src = "images/image2.gif";
}
Add function to swap images:
function SwapImage(TargetImageName, SourceImageName)
{
if (document.images)
document[TargetImageName].src = eval(SourceImageName+".src");
}
Call it like this:
<img src="something.gif" OnMouseOver="SwapImage('targetImg1','image2');" OnMouseOut="SwapImage('targetImg1','image1');">
I hope this helps.

I have an ASP page which contains a couple of ASP blocks. I want to know if there is any way in which I can tell the IIS ASP processor not to process certain blocks? e.g. Block A, process, Block B, process, Block C, don't process, Block D, process.
Ta.

I've always thought that this is what IF statements are for...
If I need to temporary comment a block of code in ASP I usually do this:
If False Then
.....
' Code I don't want anymore
.....
End If

True.
Ok let me explain this again.
I don't want the ASP processor to process the blocks, but I do want the actual ASP code to be sent through to the browser as is. So an If statement unfortunatley does not work, as it simply excludes the ASP from the HTML stream bit.

Here you go again with your strange questions...
If this is not going to dynamically change (you never process block D, but always process blocks A, B and C) all you need to do is remove or HTMLEncode <% and %> brackets around the block D.
If it will dynamically change you can save blocks in separate files and programmatically ether execute them via Server.Execute or read them from files as text and Response.Write them to client.
I hope this helps.

Nearly there
The problem is that HTMLEncode changes <% to &<pa>lt;, which I don't want as the un-processed ASP is going into an editable DIV element which is then, on form submit, sent back to the server to be saved in a database. Then later on that "content" is turned into an actual ASP file and run as per usual.
Maybe some background will help: I am letting people enter in content and some of that content will be ASP. When they are editing a page naturally the ASP content they put in must not be processed (otherwise they will see the output, not the actual ASP when they edit) but when the page is published then the ASP is run.
Yup, more strange questions, I am building a flying-time machine...

I think you will have to use TEXTAREA instead of DIV - then you should not need to HTMLEncode anything. It should work without encoding of brackets, I think.
I can't think of anything better at the moment.

I am (hopefully!) writing an application, using an ISAPI Extension dll, to allow users to view images held on a Web Server.
I would like to have a Form on my HTML page with a pre-initialised list box for the User to select an Image name from. The User can then select from the list and Submit, which will call a funtion in my dll to display the Image on a new page. My dll already works OK - it does database queries (thru ODBC) and retrieves all the possible Image names, locations etc.
However, I don't know how to pre initialise the ListBox for the user. (My knowledge of HTML is almost zero!). I assume that rather than using the normal <VALUE = aValue> there may be some way of calling a function in my Extension dll.
I know it's possible with Images, as follows:
<IMG SRC="http://myServer/scripts2/counter.dll?clock" width="116" height="23" alt="Time">
Any help here would be really appreciated, as would suggestions on a good book to learn HTML.
Many thanks.
code dope.

I just uploaded my new site to Brinkster.com and found a problem. When I ran it on my IIS 5 it worked fine and suddenly everything just doesn't work.
I believe the source of all the problems is that the server doesn't keep the Session Object for a long time if at all. It kinda logs you out automatically thus not keeping your details.
Is there any way around it? someway of making sure the Session is being saved (without using the database or a separate file).
Also, it seems that the file Global.asa is not being recognized for some reason.
It's the first time I'm running it on an outside server so the problem must be there.

They might have Session state turned off. I don't think there is a way around it except of storing data to a file/database.

You have to use the right provider.
"Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=mydatabase.mdb"

Argh... need to read more about several providers, lol

I had a strong belief that when a property of an Object is defined as ReadOnly then it means that you can only read its value at runtime and cannot modify the value. If this is wrong just donot read further, but just correct me.
This is what I found confusing...
In MSDN's documentation for Style property of a Web Control it says,...
[Visual Basic]
Public ReadOnly Property Style As CssStyleCollection
[C#]
public CssStyleCollection Style {get;}
...
But then they have shown an example of how to use the "visibility" key of the CssStyleCollection to hide and unhide a label control programmatically, like this....
void Button1_Click(Object sender, EventArgs e)
{
Label1.Style["visibility"]= ((Label1.Style["visibility"]=="hidden")?"show":"hidden");
}
If one is able to change a property's value then why the hell do they declare it as *ReadOnly*. And if you are a C# programmer, check out their declaration above that they dont have the set() method.
Then how does it work???

In this example they do not change the Style property - they change the value of one of the items in collection that is pointed to by Style property.

Hey Guys,
I created this function that doesn't always link. If you query to the end of my data...I get the links, but if I start from the beginning of the files, I can't link to the links that I'm calling. It only works when I fast forward to the end, then work backward. What is wrong with this stuff?
-------
Function CreateFolderLink (field)
dim str, str_link
str = objRS(field)
str_link="<A HREF = """ & str & """ TARGET = ""_blank"" >Web Folder Link</A>"
CreateFolderLink = str_link
End Function
Function CreateLink (field)
dim str, str_link
str = objRS(field)
str_link="<A HREF = """ & str & """ Target = ""_blank"" >" & str & "</A>"
CreateLink = str_link
End Function
