I have run this code in IE8 and it runs fine, popping up the message 'yes this game can run'. What's the problem with it exactly? You need to elaborate more by telling us where the function itself is being called, and showing how your form fields are defined.

Hi, sorry there's not a lot more I can do at the moment, as the code looks fine to me. It certainly shows fine in my own browser, and I'm using IE8 - one of the easiest browsers to break with code. I would maybe try setting the 'DOCTYPE' tag at the top of the page to see if it forces Chrome to pick up the page properly. More info here:

Oh ok, thanks for that, I wasn't aware of that. I'm so used to having the Javascript in the header and just letting JQuery take care of it with the document.ready() function. :)

Just as a heads-up, the 'inline' method does not seem to work in Explorer 8, and still shows the Open/Save dialog no matter what. I've tried other methods too, but cannot prevent the dialog from opening in IE8. :-/

No worries. Firebug is your friend when developing AJAX applications. :)

You need to be a bit more specific than that. Please post the source code you're using, showing which line it fails on and the error that's given.

OK, that makes sense, but these DLLs were installed on the machine by the latest .NET when I downloaded it. Why would it not put the right DLLs on the machine?

Hi,

Yes, thanks for your answer. Having looked into it further, I think I can get it open on the client side by writing the byte stream directly to the repsonse, then setting the Response.ContentType to "application/octet-stream". I have not got it working yet, but I'm nearly there. Many thanks.

This only fails for me if I enter a value of 2147483648 - which exceeds the limit for an Int32. 2147483647 and 1234567890 both work fine.

I didn't have time to syntax check it before, but I've made a couple of small changes now and it seems fine. You don't even need to reference the table now, as the only thing that matters is the last time value you entered. This code works fine for me - if I enter 9:10 to 9:20, the 'newFromTime' is 550 and 'newToTime' is 560 minutes and validates correctly. If I then enter 9:15 to 9:20, it shows the alert and returns false, but if I enter 9:20 - 9:25 it validates and returns true. That should be all you need.

ok, glad to help. I worked in a hopital myself for many years so I'm used to these sorts of queries. :)

So if I understand this correctly - that it's working for all users except for one - then it suggests there's something wrong with that person's browser rather than anything with the code itself. Check to see what the difference is between the browsers, make sure that that person has Javascript enabled in their own browser, and that you have the most up-to-date version of Jquery installed.

The results should return a long series of about 36 columns - just imagine combining the results of your previous 3 statements side by side.

Thanks for pointing that out Marciej. I was so focused on doing the join I forgot about the rest of the where's! I've updated it now to a solution which I think should work.

It would be better if you could actualy post the CSS code you've got for those DIVs so we can see where it's going wrong. Without the code to look at, the best I can suggest is to make sure you have the 'width' and 'height' attributes properly set for those containers, and try either setting the both the containers to 'float:left;' or 'display:inline;'.

sorry, fixed now. :)

Sorry, the HTML editor on this site seems to sometimes insert these tags when you paste code snippets in the response. This tag was not there in the original code, and I've removed it now.

Unless you post your Master Page code it's very hard to tell, as there may be some script or other errors on that page that's preventing this from running.

It does not enable the scroll bar for either of these in my browser (IE 8). Are you sure you're not including some other content on the page which you've not posted here?

What has 'bufferSize' been initialised to, and how did you determine this value? The first line that reads the file uses this variable, but there's nothing in the code to suggest where you got this value from?

Which line does it fail on? A bit more info will help to get the best response.

Yes, this works now. Many thanks. Nick

Excellent answer, thanks. Nick

Ah OK, cool. :)

Hmmm. Did you make sure you removed the old line:

$("#btnasp").bind("click", onASPClick);

Now that you've added the 'OnClientClick' command, it may be doing funny things if you're still trying to bind to it the other way.

Hi, posted a better solution now.
