We have a form that we do not want to submit until validation has already been performed. Our question is - can we call a dll either using VBScript or Javascript from a button. We need to create the instance of the object at this point, and then the public function. This way if there is a problem with the data the form is still on the screen, and has not been submitted yet.
Does anyone have any experience of this? Thankyou

Prepare an ActiveX control, for instance named validator. Embed this ActiveX in your web page using the <object tag. Then, whenever you need to call exposed methods with javascript or vbscript code, call methods with prototypes of the form validator_methodname(params).
You'll find easily more info on that, just googleup with the "_onclick" keyword.

OK, so I know I have mentioned before that I am going to start doing some HTML and DHTML. I now pretty much have the new machine installed the way I want so I will be honest.
I want to do some of that DOM stuff where I support multiple browsers so my question is...
Should I used Netscape or Mozilla and which version of them?

Netscape 6 and up (6.1, 6.2, 7 and coming 8) all use Mozilla as it's base. So to a 99% degree you need not worry. i.e. The HTML, CSS and JavaScript will all render and function the same in these two browsers because the engines are the same (there are some differences but so minor you probably won't ever run into them.)
Anything before Nestcape 6 though is a totally different story of course. Avoid Netscape 4.x like you avoid your mother in law. i.e. like the plague.
As for which version of Mozilla, go with 1.0.

Thanks for the response Paul. I am currently downloading Mozilla 1.0.1 and will follow that up with 1.1. Decided against touching 1.2 as that is Beta.
I have Netscape 7 on a CD from a magazine though I will check their website to see if there is a newer version available.
I you were a wannabe web developer like me and had the choice of Mozilla and Netscape which one would you install to use along side Internet Explorer 6 SP1?

Mozilla 1.0
But if you were looking into real world, practical web development then you should seriously get as many browsers as you can. I have 6 versions of Netscape 4, 4 versions of Internet Explorer, 3 versions of Mozilla, 2 versions of Opera, Netscape 6 and Netscape 7 plus three AOL versions. Plus I now have that Phoenix browser, and I had Knoqueror but not once in 5 years has any client moaned that their site looks funny on Konqueror (only because they never heard of it.)
Then we have the Mac in the corner with all it's browsers (F5 to F15 all are hot keyed to a different browser)

Oh no, obviously it is better than Mozilla 1.0
The thing though is Mozilla 1.0 is the more widely used of the versions and is closer to Netscape 6. So when doing cross-browser testing it is better to check Mozilla 1.0 than go with Mozilla 1.1.
Get both if you are serious

Truth be told I think I really just want to get a grip on the whole DHTML thing I was reading about in that handbook (which I finally finished by the way). I didn't get his explanations on tables, have no real grasp of the DOM (and the differences between how it works with different browsers) and also a lot of the techniques for formatting and making pop-up thingies (sorry to get all technical on you there).
I don't think I will ever become a web guru (though won't stop myself if I do) but I have been in such a rut lately I need to get out of it. I haven't looked at anything technical for probably over 6 months.
I plan to do some (D)HTML as I hate not knowing anything about it and think that I can see changes I make pretty much immediately. Then I will move on to C++ 6 again and learn stuff I didn't do before after getting back to where I was before. Then on to databases again (done them since 89 but nothing in the past 12 months). After that I need to look into completing my degree as well as getting a job (of any kind) which by then I hope will see me controlling my life again.
So there is a little peek into my warped mind.
I downloaded 1.0.1 and 1.1, I will probably go with 1.1 as I won't be building anything that needs to work with too many different browsers. Just so I can understand and work with the two different paradigms of HTML standard interpretations.

Is there a nice and simple way to clear out the contents of a DataGrid with something like a .Clear() method?
For example, with a DropDownList named ddl you can easily clear the its contents by saying:
ddl.Items.Clear();
Is there some way that I can easily remove what is displayed in a DataGrid?
I realize that there is a bit of a difference between a DataGrid and a DropDownList because with a DropDownList the values are basically being streamed into the list and there is not a strong tie to its datasource ... and about the exact opposite is true for a DataGrid.
But still ... there's gotta be a way ...

Really for the ASP.NET forums, but all you need to do is un-databind it 
DataGrid1.DataSource = null;
DataGrid1.DataBind();

Hi:
I have a DataGrid Page say Page1 that shows me the List of orders that have not been billed yet and also a column at the last which is a hyperlink to the page that will help me create the bill for the order.
Now when i click the create-bill hyperlink the page works i can go ahead and create the bill.This is done on a seperate page that opens up say Page2.
But what i alsowant is once the bill is made out and entered into the DB i want this pending bill entry to go out of the DataGrid.That is i want the datagrid on page1 to refresh itself when there is a button click event on the page2 that makes the bill.
Any suggestions on how to do this.Thanks In Advance

I assume you are only filling the datagrid when !IsPostBack and using its viewstate for persistance. Now all you need to do is disable the ViewState of the datagrid and fill the datasource/databind on every pageload (not just when !IsPostBack). The query will be cached most likely so SQL overhead is minimal.
Cheers

I visited a web page and within minutes received a spam mail from them. How could they have picked up my email address when I did not enter it anywhere? How do I disable this (apparent) Internet Explorer "feature"?

anonymous ftp uses your default email account as password. It's just a matter of javascript tricks to make ftp requests without being seen when loading a web page. And then...
That's bad news but unless you entirely disable Javascript you won't be able to block anything really. Disabling javascript ? you need a freeware, or you can develop your own filtering proxy.

Netscape and Internet Explorer do not render HTML, JavaScript and CSS in the same fashion.
Basically in short the W3C has defined a set of web standards. Netscape and IE then came along and implemented those standards, but often they either got it wrong or decided against the standard. So one piece of standard HTML can be different in the two browsers.
Traditionally we have then had to write two pieces of HTML, one for Netscape and one for IE. Luckily the latest versions of these browsers are much closer to the W3C standard, so one code base can suffice. But if you have to support older browsers the best thing to do is write HTML to the W3C standard but ensure it degrades gracefully for older browsers. Don't expect to get fancy DHTML type things working across all the older browsers, it is a waste of your time.
If you want specific help on this, post the actual code and we can probably tell you what is wrong with in terms of NEtscape
