How would I accomplish this...?

In exact code please, cuz i've tried window.parent.location.href and that didnt' work...

I've used window.open() JScript...and I need the spawned child window to refresh the parent who created it...??

Any ideas...?

Is it possible to build up a Flash animation on the server and then dish it out to the client?

i.e. would it be possible to generate a complex graph on the server, based on some data store?

Links would be sweet.

Cheers,

File download breaks IE Frames

Hi, I have the following PHP code which is accessed from a inside a Frame.

header ("Content-Type: application/octet-stream;");
header ("Content-length: $att_size");
header ("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"$FName\"");
    header("Content-Transfer-Encoding: binary");

ReadFile ("$attachment");

The file is downloaded correctly but after that the Frame won't display anything. ie. I select a new navigation bar item which will normally update the frame, but nothing happens. I assume the frame somehow needs to be reset. The same problem occures with IE5.5 and IE6.

Any suggestions muchly appreciated. Thanx.

Thanks for that. I'd already done that as a temporary work-around, but I'd like to get a better solution. Problem with this is you get a new IE with a blank window which you then need to close.

simple method to verify e-mail address?

zhoujun19-Nov-02 14:37

The following snippet can be used to verify URL well and simply:

Dim objHTTP<br />
Dim sHTML<br />
Set objHTTP = Server.CreateObject ("Microsoft.XMLHTTP")<br />
objHTTP.open "GET", strURL, False<br />
objHTTP.send<br />
sHTML=objHTTP.statusText<br />
if err or sHTML<>"OK" Then<br />
    VerifyURL = False<br />
else<br />
    VerifyURL = True<br />
End if<br />
Set objHTTP=nothing

So are there any ways to verify e-mail addresses the same alike?I am not meaning the expression check,but the real e-mail address existence checking.
I know cp has an article about it,but it's so complex to implement.
Thanks.

Two ways I know of.

One, send an command to the email addresses host server. There is some way of requesting the existence of an email address, not sure what it is though so look it up.

Two, send an email to the email address with a link to your site which has a unique code which verifies the address. Much like many sites do e.g. "Welcome, to verify your account just click the link below" then it would flip a boolean field in the database saying "verified" or not. I would go with this method, more reliable.

Can you give the details about how to implement the second way?
Thanks.
Maybe an article for cp.

As I said in my other post, I cannot use the "Copy Project" option to reproduce my web service on a remote server (because for some reason, that option is not available when working with managed c++ web services).

So I tried manually uploading the required files to the server via FTP. AFter that, I tested it out and received a "runtime error". There's a message saying that I need to modify the <customerrors mode="RemoteOnly"> to <customerrors mode="Off"> in the web.config file in order to see the details of the error.

Well, after modifying that file, it still tells me I need to modify it. What's going on? Why can't I see the details of the error?

Opening IE with only titlebar and page using WSH/scripting...

Andrew Connell19-Nov-02 7:10

I'm writing a little application and using IE as my interface (HTML, VBScript, behaviors, etc). What I'd like to do is have the user execute a script that loads IE with a default page but no menubar, toolbar, addressbar, status bar, or any of the IE branding. Basically, I'm trying to simply get my application to start in a browser, but not give them any of the options locally.

This application will be started locally... NOT launched over the web. It's similar to the MS Baseline Security Analyzer, except that it won't be launched via an exe.

Has anyone been able to do this?

You could make it a HTA. Write a HTML page and change the extention to hta.

where to find docs on DHTML?

zibi18-Nov-02 23:04

Is there any source that describes creating special
effects with JavaScript for the different browsers?
I have found lots of internet tutorials and samples.
Many tutorials on DOM, HTML and JavaScript but
what I cannot find is a full guide that describes
the features of the different browsers (IE, NS, Opera)
and how to use them, a full guide on dom (besides,
what's on www.w3.org). Technical papers on the new
IE6.0 features like filters, etc. And I feel that I
miss many important points, about how this technology
works, especially making compatible things, which are
a little more sophisticated than a simple rollover.
That's why I decided to ask here.
Are there such online resources? Unfortunately I
cannot find any suitable books in the bookstores and
I cannot buy any book online from here, where I'm
based.
How do you learn about programming special effects
with JavaScript?

Thank you in advance!

Reading lots of little things from lots of sites, unfortuanatley. There is no one compiled source of info for us web developers, just to diverse and fractured to really be compiled properly.

DHTMLZone is a good start for special effects. Though really unless the special effect is useful, I would not use it. If you need gee, whizz, bang effects then use Flash.

After that you need to go to each vendors site. Like MSDN for IE and NEtscape.com for Netscape. Opera.com for Opera etc. etc.

actually I'm not looking for special effects but rather how to make them, about the theory behind them.

Currently I'm looking for how to implement JavaScript parser of XML and other files, so I can dynamically generate html pages.
