The following gives me a scroll bar under the drop down - is this what you're looking for or am I misunderstanding?
<div>
<div style="width:100px;overflow-x:auto;">
<select style="margin-bottom:15px;">
<option>This is some test text to make sure we scroll</option>
<option>And some more long text just in case</option>
</select>
</div>
</div>
Cheers
Ben

this is working fine for a normal case......but in my case.....the select list is being displayed in a table column.....and the style sheet problem that i've already described.
i've found out one more thing......if i override the width in select and the width is greater than that of the div tag.....then the horizontal scrollbar appears......but again i do not know what value i should put for width in select so that the longest string in select list is visible.
if i put width as 100% then also the scrollbar disappears......because i think that 100% takes the width as 100% of the table column....and does not scroll.....
one more thing.....the select list is not being displayed as one value at a time......it is in a rectangular format.....the vertical bar automatically appears if total options exceed the height....by virtue of select tag.......but the horizontal bar doesn't appear.....

Trying to change the css class of the innerdiv element on a mouseover event on the outerdiv.
<div class="outerdiv" onmouseover="changeCss(this, 'outerdivover')" onmouseout="changeCss(this, 'outerdiv')">
<div class="middlediv">
<div class="innerdiv">
<a href="http://www.google.com/">Change Management Strategy That Wraps to a Third Line</a>
</div>
</div>
</div>
What would the javascript look like that can do this. The simple javascript that I have right now is the following:
<script type="text/javascript">
function changeCss(o, a)
{
o.className = a;
}
</script>
Thanks in advance

Use o.firstChild.firstChild to access the inner div.

Hi!
I have a big code source of the web site. Some pith of code writed on ASP and another part on ASP.NET.
I need to know the site map but determinated it on practic will spend too long time. Another way is analyse the code. I think it should be the parser which can analyse the code of specific web page (in my variant it is ASP or ASP.NET file) and work with pages controls.
Does anybody know some tool helps for or may be some link to solution or any saggestion?
Does my question illustrate my problem?

Not sure what end result you want (is the map for end users, for you to know what's there etc), but this may do what you need: http://www.xml-sitemaps.com/

Thanks, but I need to know where does the user may go from the page. In other words I need the map with pointers all pathes.
|

|

I think the above will give you that. If the site map needs to be contextual, then you'll need to navigate the xml produced by the tool to find the current page and then generate your navigation from the child nodes of that.

Hi ,
As you know there is a feature in browsers that remembers what you type in textboxes . Does anyone know how we can fully disable this feature for our site ?
|
|
|
|

Hi Hossein
You can set this at a form level, or a field level
I've only ever tested this in IE, but believe it works in most browsers.
Regards

Hey guys,
Im trying to write a javascript which is able to find the element on s certain mouse coordinate. I found this sweet method called elementFromPoint() but this method only works on IE and (ofcourse) i'm trying to get my script running on several diffrent browsers.
For now i'm stuck having all elements call a function on mouse over which tells me what object it was calling that function, but i'm looking for a more generic way.
Does anyone have a clue?

Hi there,
I have a div in which I'd like to have a couple of floating divs. My problem is, the outer div has a border. But the border does not wrap around the floating divs inside. What am I doing wrong?
a simple example:
<div class="outer">
<div class="inner">box 1</div>
<div class="inner">box 2</div>
<div class="inner">box 3</div>
</div>
.outer {border:solid 1px #000;}
.inner {float:left; width:50px;}
Can anyone help? Please note that I do not want to specify a width for the outer div, since it should fill whatever it is placed in.
Thanks in advance!

As the outer element doesn't have any non-floating elements in it, there is nothing that gives it height.
Add a <div class="Clear"></div> as the last element in the outer div. Add a style:
.Clear { clear: both; height: 0; overflow: hidden; }

Hi
Am I thinking about moving towards Stored procedures for my database access, problem is that people have mixed opininions and contriditory optinions about using stored procedures. because when you google for asp.net speed you find loads of atricles even posed in VS magazine stating you should use stored procedures, but when you go to http://weblogs.asp.net/fbouma/archive/2003/11/18/38178.aspx[^]
you ind that stored procedures shouldnt be used, I just need to be 100% sure before I move on a pull apart my entire cms that stored procedures should be used.

This can be an endless discussion.
I use SPs in 99% of cases. I believe that they make sense when talking about application organization and layering.
This is the main point.

There are no real definitions available, as said in the previous post, it's a endless story. I too use stored procedures in my application and felt very comfortable with it. Main advantage I felt was re usability and easy to maintain.
It's like a separation of back end logic from front end. It's good when you write long Transact SQL queries. You can avoid appending all these into a string and passing from page.
Since there won't be much performance difference for both methods, why you are afraid to use it ?

Stored procs always make for cleaner code, and give you far more power over securing your DB. There was a time when it was also regarded that they were a lot faster, but nowadays that advantage is debatable. I've never seen anyone claim that procs are slower, and that link is not claiming that, it's claiming they are not faster. I accept that. However, stored procs simply *force* the issue of making all your data code in one place. Frans Bouma is plain wrong, as far as I am concerned. In his hands, dynamic SQL may be easier to work with, but in most people's hands, it's a recipe for insecure spaghetti code. I'd rather advocate a practice that tends to good code, than one that ( perhaps ) tends to ease of use.

That was great, Christian. But still I am in a confusion on the caching of execution plan. Link say's both the methods will cache the query ? What do you think ?
|
|

|

Yes, as I said, I've heard several people say that procs are not faster anymore, and I believe them. In any case, given how fast our PCs are, how often do you write SQL where the speed is a real advantage ?

I always thinks about the speed. Our server is getting plenty of requests in one second. So the method what we use to fetch data should be the best.

If you run the same query as a stored procedure and a text query, you will most likely find that the speed difference is so small that you can't even reliably measure it.
What matters most is how you construct the query, so that you avoid expensive operations, and that you have created indexes for the correct fields.

Of course they have. People have contradicting opinions about everything from application architecture to placing of brackets. Stored procedures is not an exception.

There are a lot of arguments there why stored procedures aren't better than dynamic queries, but that does neither make dynamic queries better nor stored procedure bad.
They are simply different approaches, so they have different strengths and weaknesses.
I prefer stored procedures, because:
:: The queries gets separated from the code. Things that has different purposes often benefit from being separated.
:: There is a well defined interface between the stored procedure and the code that is using it.
:: The execution plan of a stored procedure is always the same, so you know that they cache well. The execution plan of a dynamic query can change in ways that is hard to predict. It's easy to try out a stored procedure to see the execution plan, but not as easy to try out every possible dynamic query that the code can create.

Hello everyone, am new to visual web developer. am using vb.net and i have AJAX control toolkit installed. Am developing a website and would like to make menus that bring out their contents once you hover on them, like the way menus on www.microsoft.com website are.
Thanks for the assistance, anyone will render.

Unless the AJAX toolkit offers such a menu ( and I don't see why it should, a menu is not an AJAXy thing ), you will need to find a third party DHTML menu and integrate it into your project.

Thanks a lot Christian, but are you sure you cant recommend a third party DHTML menu creator that I can use? hopefully a free download
