Create Table with createElement - Web Development Discussion Boards

Use hidden DIVs and with JavaScript set them to show or hide as needed. Use the display: none; property rather than visibility: hidden; though as the former will then not take up any space.

I have done the same with TABLES and content for every TAB was included in a TR of the TABLE. Then set the DISPLAY style of each TR to either BLOCK or NONE.

If I was to do somehting like this again I would use DIVs instead as the other fellow CPian suggested...

I do it by having named div elements with style="display:none" or style="display:block" as appropriate.
You will put all the tab stuff inside the divs

Hello
this is sam, and I have a big problem with ASP !!!!

I want to retrieve data from a database and then send this data to a url as a query string.

ex: http://77.125.192.120:1428/Recieve.asp?tel=20123335357&Msg=Misssshhhhh%20this%20is%20this?&CC=20&user=SMS&pass=Ed3kWKad&enc=1

enc:
Encoding: if message is ucs2 =0;
if message is plain Text =1

and if the Msg is in arabic so it is encoded and then sent.
Please help me with this. how can i do it in VBScript, ADO ?
I want the application to be run without stopping, to send data to the url without stopping. any new data comes, is sent to the url directly.

yours
sam.

Since it seems like you are using "Classic" ASP and ADO, the solutions is something like the following:

Dim httpRequest, url, response, request

url = "http://www.mydomain.com/mypage.asp"
Set httpRequest = Server.CreateObject("WinHttp.WinHttpRequest.5")
httpRequest.Open "PUT", url, False

' declaring and opening a new connection and recordset omitted

Do While Not rs.EOF()
  request = "myvar1=" & rs("field1") & "&myvar2=" & rs("field2")
  httpRequest.Send request
  response = HttpReq.ResponseText
  rs.MoveNext()
Loop

Of course, if you were using the .NET Framework, you could use HttpWebResponse and HttpWebRequest to do the same thing.

You can look up "WinHTTP Interfaces" on MSDN for more information.

Webservice schema not reflecting my code!

Hi,

I am having a weird problem which I suspect is a bug in the framework or VS.NET. Maybe some of you know how to fix this.

I have a project containing one .ASMX file and three datasets. However, when I fetch the XML schema of the webservice, only 2 of the 3 datasets show up!

The dataset that doesn't show up in the schema is the one I added last. I hear you... yes I did recompile, MANY times. I rebooted, restarted IIS. It keeps returning the schema of only the first 2 datasets.

Anyone has an idea of what the problem might be? I had a similar problem a few weeks ago... the schema always returned an OLD version of my dataset.

Your help is very much appreciated.

Thanks!

ASP page communicates with MFC-EXE

VinMan18-Mar-04 10:03

I have an old MFC app that I want to communicate with via classic ASP and later in the year, with ASP.NET. What's the best way to have my ASP page send messages to my MFC-EXE? I've tried shared memory and posting Windows messages to the MFC-EXE's window (or to all windows). Tried pipes as well. I gather that the ASP page is running in protected space by IIS and so there is a permission problem. What's the sanctioned or method of choice for such communication? I didn't want to go to sockets as I'm on the same machine. The MFC-EXE is running on the same computer as the ASP pages (under local IIS).

I was thinking about a named data section in a DLL shared by an IIS plug-in and my MFC-EXE. Also, what about doing an out of process OLE/COM server that I could get access to from the ASP page that was embedded in my MFC-EXE?? I have never done the later.

Any ideas or pointers appreciated.

Hi, just been trying to create a table using the createElement method. Only trouble is it doesn't seem to be enough for it to work, i've only included the main , a , and 3

's. I've also set through the script all the peoperties needed.

Basically, is there a reason it's not displaying ¿

There's zilch happening, although i scanned the doc's children and found they had been created, or there were a few div tags there anywho. WTF | :WTF:

var chldT = document.createElement( "" ) ;
var chldR = document.createElement( "" ) ;
var chldC = document.createElement( "

" ) ;

document.body.appendChild( chldT ) ;
chldT.appendChild( chldR ) ;
chldR.appendChild( chldC ) ;

chldC.innerText = "hello world!" ;

This is bizarre, but to use appendChild and createElement for creating tables in Internet Explorer you must include a tbody.

So you need to do:

var chldT = document.createElement( "table" ) ;
var chldB = document.createElement( "tbody" ) ;
var chldR = document.createElement( "tr" ) ;
var chldC = document.createElement( "td" ) ;

chldC.innerText = "hello world!" ;
chldR.appendChild( chldC ) ;
chldB.appendChild( chldR ) ;
chldT.appendChild( chldB ) ;
document.body.appendChild( chldT ) ;

Wh00ps, forgot about that. Thats a pretty good way of doing it btw, create it all in the memory and then apply the whole table. Like it. Wink | ;)

If i'm understanding you right u want the to resize when the page is updated to the width & height of the new page?

One way you can do this is to get the width/height of all the objects displayed within the page and then work out the total. You might not be able to do it so well with JavaScript but VBScript will return more info, this also depends on the browser u r using.

Unfortuanately you cannot. They are pretty strict about letting you fiddle with the file input to stop dodgy okes from sniping files off your machine. Why they won't let you style it I am not so sure.

You can modify the textbox portion of it, but not the button.

[Edit]
Actually, I lie. You can, to a degree. background-color for instance does not work on the button bit but border does. Bit of pot luck.

Hi Paul,

I just found a dirty way to do this. I put a normal button, a textbox and a file input field. Then put some java script and managed to call the file input's click event from the button's click event, so when I clicked the button the open dialog box would appear, and it worked!. Then the getting the text in to the text box from file input was easy. Now I can do what ever the decorations to the poor button Smile | :)

Thanks for your help and your time. Smile | :)

How to use that ”?” in a URL?

It's a set of parameters. For example, here on CP the bit that says forumid=1640 in the address bar is indicating to the asp page user_reply.asp that we want to use the forum 1640 (which is Web Development). The ? symbol indicates the start of the parameters, the & symbol is used to separate parameters, and = separates the name of a parameter from it's value.

Some pages (like what you describe) only need one parameter, so sometimes just the value is passed in after the ?.

In ASP.NET, see Request.QueryString for starters on how to retrieve this information.

Otherwise, see the reference manuals for the web tools you are using. If you're using straight HTML, then you're probably out of luck

Is it possible to create a Visual Studio .Net (act-ly VS.Net 2003 EE) Web Application project from existing ASP web site?
Currenly I've managed to build such a project, it even runs as Web Application, but all .asp files are included with build action 'Content' and integrated debugger does not work on breakpoints, only handles exceptions...

web.config looks like:
--
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
<system.web>
<compilation defaultLanguage="VB"
debug="true"
numRecompilesBeforeAppRestart="15"/>
<pages buffer="false"
enableSessionState="true"
enableViewState="true"
enableViewStateMac="true"
autoEventWireup="true"
validateRequest="true"/>
<customErrors mode="Off"/>
<sessionState
mode="InProc"
cookieless="false"
timeout="20"/>

<identity
impersonate="true"
userName=""
password=""/>
</system.web>
</configuration>
--

Could anyone describe how to archieve this?

Thanks in advance,
