I'm looking for a report application (similar to Crystal Reports) that can use data from a web service. I'm currently using Crystal Reports and it doesn't have this capability. Any input is appriciated.

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.

Thank you,
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.

Is this a right way to put the flash in a page... and that having a link to other page???
<codebase="http: download.macromedia.com="" pub="" shockwave="" cabs="" flash="" swflash.cab<a="" href="http://www.page.com" target="_blank"><embed src="../Ads/ad.swf" quality="high" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" width="468" height="60" />

Edit your message, and click the "display this message as-is" box under the edit box, and it'll show your html as source, rather than trying to parse it, like it has here

The problem was different and fixed... see my other reply for the mistake that had happnd....
Thanks

the code seems okay to me. Don't you have the link(s) in the flash itself? I don' see any in the html code you listed.

I just created a C++ Managed Web Service and now it's residing on my
'Localhost'. I want to copy it to another web server, but I cannot
find the "Copy Project" option under the "Project" menu. (This option did exist when I was working with ASP.NET applications, but I can't find it when I work with C++ web applications/services)
I also tried creating a Web Deployment project, but I realize that I
cannot run the Windows installer file on the other server because it
belongs to my web host. It is not my own server. After copying the
installer files to that server, I do not know how to remotely execute
it.
How can I work around these problems to deploy my web service on that
server? Thanks.

How can I redirect a user to another page and not have the second page's URL show up in the browser's address bar.
For example, let's say I want the user to type in http://www.server1.com/agent and for the default.asp page to redirect to http://www.server2.com/agent. I don't want the user to see that they're on server2. Can this be done?
Cheers,

Tom,
Response.Redirect puts a code in the HTTP header that is sent back to the requesting browser that tells the browser to request the next page. That means you've made a roundtrip (to the server, which is expensive) and the URL will show up in the browser's address bar.
You might be able to use the Server.Transfer method if your site is running on IIS 5. Server.Transfer actually serves up the new file behind the scenes, it's all done server-side. The original URL will remain in the browser's address bar.
Server.Transfer, however, is not a silver bullet. For one thing, you can't append a querystring. You can't Server.Transfer outside of your site.
<From MSDN>
When you call Server.Transfer, the state information for all the built-in objects will be included in the transfer. This means that any variables or objects that have been assigned a value in session or application scope will be maintained. In addition, all of the current contents for the request collections will be available to the .asp file receiving the transfer.
If the path you specify in the input parameter is for an .asp file in another application, the .asp file will execute as if it were in the application that contains the Server.Transfer command. In other words, all variables and objects that have been given application scope either by other .asp files in the application or by the application's Global.asa file will be available to the called .asp file. However, the path parameter must not contain an query string or ASP returns an error.
Server.Transfer acts as an efficient replacement for Response.Redirect. Response.Redirect tells the browser to request a different page. Since a redirect forces a new page request, the browser has to make two round trips to the Web server, and the Web server has to handle an extra request. IIS 5.0 introduced a new function, Server.Transfer, which transfers execution to a different ASP page on the server. This avoids the extra round trip, resulting in better overall system performance, as well as a better user experience.
</From MSDN>
Finally, if you can't use Server.Transfer (not using IIS 5), check out this article:
Simulate Server.Execute and Server.Transfer in ASP 2.0
http://www.4guysfromrolla.com/ASPscripts/PrintPage.asp?REF=/webtech/042602-1.shtml
Good Luck.

From "Professional Active Server Pages 3.0".
In ASP 3.0 and IIS 5.0 we can avoid the need to use client-side redirection with 2 method : Execute and Transfer.They cause control to be passed immediately to another page which can be an ASP script page or something else.
The difference between them is that Execute method 'calls' the other page, much like we call a subroutine. When the other page or resource has completed execution or streaming to the client, control pass back to the statement following the call to the Execute method in the original page, and execution continues from there. When we use the Transfer method, control does not pass back to the original page, and execution stops at the end of the page or resource we trasnferred control to.
Hope it can be useful.

Thanks Michela,
However, Transfer displays the current url and Execute won't work on fully qualified urls. Therefore, I went with the frameset idea.

What are the differences between IIS and Personal Web Server? Can you host a site using PWS or does it impose limitations on you? Could people outside of your network or your own machine view your webpages as easily with either one?
|

Think of PWS as Wordpad - comes free with Windows, you can write your basic letter, and even the possibility of professional documents. However, this isn't what it was made for. Think of IIS as Word. It's a professional tool. Although, it does come free with XP Pro now. Note that it doesn't come with XP Home, and PWS also won't run on XP Home.
PWS is fine for testing your own stuff (although it can be a pig to get working sometimes). And people will be able to view your site if it is hosted on PWS, although it would be interesting to see how much traffic it could handle (I've never hosted anything live on it, sorry). IIS is for professional hosting if you are expecting a lot of hits.
I knew it would end badly when I first met Chris in a Canberra alleyway and he said 'try some - it won't hurt you'.....

I ithink the reason for me as a developer it that I can host multiple sites (different port numbers, or ip addresses) off my machine.  Where with PWS you have one site with multiple virtual directories that act as sites (same ip. different folders). 
If you have the choice use 2000 Server. It runs most games now days, and you can turn off the rest of the features you dont want to use.
Hope this helps,
Joan

put it this way - it's incredibly easy to do things like access the c:\ drive of a machine with PWS installed. Microsoft may have fixed it with later versions, but I managed to remotely crash a friend's 98 machine when he was testing AWS on it, using the con\con trick

Hi....
I have some problem with include files....
My site has many sub, sub-subdirectories like.. /home has sub-directories that looks like /home/1, /home/2, /home/3
And /home/1, /home/2, /home/3 has its own sub-directories that looks as /home/1/1a, /home/1/1b, /home/2/2a, /home/2/2b, /home/2/2c, /home/3/3a, /home/3/3b etc.
I try to include a file @ /home/include/ from the .asp file in the /home/2/2a directory. It loads fine and works good. When I click a link from that file (now I am in /home/2/2a) for a file @ /home/. It displays 404-file not found error.
I tried this with <include file=""> and also <include virtual=""> methods. But both gives me problem. Any suggestion please.....

Ok I am not sure what the include files have to do with 404 errors but here is some info which may help.
HTML includes a very helpful element: <base href="" />
Basically what it does is tell the browser that all relative URLs are to be prefixed with the value of the href attribute.
So I could have the following HTML:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>
<base href="http://www.notinkansas.com/" />
</head>
<body>
<a href="about.htm"><img src="res/img/test.png" /></a>
</body>
</html>
You could place that HTML file in any sub-directory of notinkansas.com but the IMG and A elements will find the right file.
Just be careful though as it screws ASP.NET forms up and you have to use some JavaScript to sort it out.

This is comething I guessed. And, will give a try.
If that thing doesnt seem to be a good solution.. I will have to re-organize and remove the subdirectories... as it has very few files in them right now.
