Do you intend to store your XML in a file on your own ? What a disaster. Access at least allows multiple users, a single file will not, obviously.
Yes, if you have more than 3 users, you should use MSDE or SQL Server. You can store XML in any database, if it meets your business needs. Storing it in a flat file ( if that's what you mean by XML OR Access ) is just a plain terrible idea.

Hi all developers!!
I am looking for someone to please help me write a regular expression that I can use for my textarea control. It must search for all means of bad characters that can lead to a SQL injection attack. I would appreciate it if someone could send me some source code.
Thanks
Brendan

So many characters could lead to an attack it mostly depends on the combination they are used. For example, do you deny the apostrophe? What happens if someone tries to enter the name "Miles O'Brian"?
Your best bet is to make sure you use parameterised queries to insert the information into the database. Remember to run on a least privilaged account (say giving the user only SELECT permission on the relevant tables and nothing more - remember you can also REVOKE permission at the column level in SQL Server).
Can you let us know the purpose of the textarea? What is the information going to be used for? That might also help defining the measures to put in place to reduce the "attack surface".

I have an asp application in which, a page generates reports depending upon the id passed to it. For eg. printpage.asp?id=52 . Now I have a Print button on this page on clicking of which the contents of the page should be read and passed to the activex dll which I have prepared for printing the page.( I had to do this because the printer is installed on the server where the application resides).
Now my question is how to read the contents in such a way that the fonts and formatting should remain the same, as that content will be printed on the server printer using Active X dll.

Hi,
When I use window.open() in a page from IE, IE will launch a new window but stay in the same process. But when I use the same page from an IE control in my own app, it launches a new process (a new ie instance is created).
For a certain reason, I cannot use showModal/ModelessDialog. My question is: is there a way to force IE to launch a new window without generating a new process.
Thanks

Just to clarify: the new IE window is also for showing a webpage, not a popup dialog

I've encountered an interesting problem to which I can't seem to find a solution.
I've got an ASP.NET application, written in C#, that returns a variable called TimeToRefresh each time that the page loads. This variable is determined dynamically, represents the number of milliseconds before the page needs to automatically refresh, and could be any positive integer.
Since I need an automatic page refresh, that necessitates JavaScript (if there's another client-side method for automatic page refresh that could be adapted to this problem, please let me know). I need to implement, therefore, a JavaScript timer that counts down the number of milliseconds indicated in the TimeToRefresh variable. Here's the rub: I can't find a way to transfer the variable from ASP.NET to JavaScript. I need to either: a.) access an ASP control from JavaScript, or b.) populate an html control from ASP that can then be accessed by JavaScript. I can't seem to do either successfully.
Any ideas? Another method entirely, perhaps?
Thanks for your help!

You could add a html hidden control to the page and make it server side (right click / run at server). Then you can populate the control server side and read it from javascript via getElementById(idOfHiddenElement).

In my application, in one page, I have provided a facility to upload files of type .doc, .jpg, .gif etc. After uploading the file successfully, when click on that file to see, error message appears saying that this file is corrupt, can't open. Oracle is being used as database. The application is developed in ASP. Can some one tell me what can be the reason behind this?

Hi,
I have a webpage which lists names of files. Whenever a user clicks on the file name(a hyperlink) the relevant rtf document opens in a MS-Word window.
My question is how to print the file without opening the file in MS-Word. This process has to happen without user intevention.
Thanks for any help
Thanks and Regards

If all the information that you have to print is on the single page of IE , then its very simple, first install the printer and then go to file menu and simply click the print option.
If you want to do it programmatically then you have to choose a scripting language.For java script make a button with caption Print and on it onClick event call a function Printme(user defined) and in this function write the print routine which is i think window.print.
Hope it will work.

Problem (succinct): Say you want some of your paragraphs to have no top and bottom margin, and you want other paragraphs to have 12pt top and bottom margins. This can be done through styles. But then if you try to apply Trenton Moss's 4th HTML speedup tip, and place a 'div' around the block of paragraphs, rather than < P style=NoMargins>... it fails to work. Anybody know how to get around it, and have flexible paragraph margins on a style by style basis?
More vaguely describing the problem: The first try using styles may look like:
.NoMargin {
margin-top: 0px;
margin-bottom: 0px;
}
.Margin {
margin-top: 12px;
margin-bottom: 12px;
}
And using it in code looks like:
< P style=NoMargin>Paragraph1.</P>
< P style=NoMargin>Paragraph2.</P>
< P style=Margin>Paragraph3.</P>
< P style=Margin>Paragraph4.</P>
And that works. But then when you go
<div class=NoMargins>
< P>Paragraph1.</P>
< P>Paragraph2.</P>
</div>
<div class=Margins>
< P>Paragraph3.</P>
< P>Paragraph4.</P>
</div>
It fails miserably. In fact, it hooks onto the default 'P' margin-top and margin-bottom values, and doesn't look at the Margins OR NoMargins definition of margin-top or margin-bottom.
The only work-around I have found is to define:
P {
margin-top: 0px;
margin-bottom: 0px;
}
and these values are what is used throughout. I cannot figure out how to get different margins around a style, other than going back to the first method ("< P class=Margin>...")

You didn't read Trenton's example carefuly.
He has:
<div class="text">
<p>This is a sentence</p>
<p>This is another sentence</p>
<p>This is yet another sentence</p>
<p>This is one more sentence</p>
</div>
.text p
{
color: #03c;
font-size:2em
}
As you can see, whole trick is in ".text p" - which means "apply this style to childs of .text". You don't have this in your CSS - there should ne ."NoMargin p".BTW you have class=NoMargins instead od class=NoMargin. I assume this is just typo.

Thank you. I could have sworn myself black and blue that I tried that combo and every other combo among all the things I tried. Yet it works this time!
Can you explain the difference between the declarations: ".text p { ..." and ".text { ..." in this case? I do not understand the semantic difference between these two, and it confuses the heck out of me. I was under the impression that ".text { ..." declared a class called 'text', and that placing " < div class="text">" said: "use the class 'text' for the paragraphs in this division", but my understanding must be missing something, otherwise the 'margin' specifications would automatically apply on a per-paragraph basis?
OH! As I am writing this, and playing around, it finally sinks in. Your:
".text p" - which means "apply this style to childs of .text"
is wrong (I believe). It should be: "'.text p {...' means 'create a style named 'text' with paragraph properties of ..." In the same vein, "'.text { ...' says: "create a style with the attributes of ...", and then when you use that style in a division, it applies the margins to the top and bottom of that division, rather than the paragraphs in between.
Did I get the semantics right this time, and is there anything else I am missing? What other things besides 'p' can go in place of the 'p' in ".text p { ..."?
Again, thanks very much.
David
