SERVER IN USA ME IN RSA

I do not know the physical (C:\ what ever) path on that server, but surely that should not be needed. The http:// path I put in I can see the files there if I type it in by hand each one, but the one does not pick the other up??? What to do?

this is me

There are a couple problems with your setup. First, you can't connect ADO through HTTP, which is what you are doing by using the URL (http://....). Granted, you can see the file when you type in its url, but that just allows you to download the database via your browser. HTTP doesn't have anything to do with ADO, which is what you use to get the data out of the file and into your page. You will have to use the actual file system path.

Here is how you can find the path to the folder your database is in. Make a file with the following code and place it in the same folder as your database and browse for it.

<%
longpath=Server.MapPath(".")
Response.Write(longpath)
%>

This will show you the full path to this file. Subtitute the filename of the database with the file name of the script, and there is your path to the database.

The second problem I see here is that you have published your database to a folder that is viewable to the entire world. This means that anyone could go to your site and download the entire database file. Perhaps your database does not have any sensitive data, but let's say for example that you had login names and passwords in it. Someone could download your database, open it, and have full access to your site. This is pretty poor security.
If I were you, I'd call up my hosting company and ask about a database folder which is outside of the document root, thus placing the database somewhere that only you can access it. They will also tell you the path to this folder, which solves your first problem as well.

Any one can help me about Html Help Workshop?

Thanks.

I actually had my db in another folder and more secure but in utter frustration of it all not working moved it to the same folder just to get it working.

I will try this asap amnd get it working FIRST and then worry about the location and security. The server was also just built (because of my request) so I am not sure that it is all set up correctly on there side, but I am sure it must be

THANKS AGAIN FOR THE DETAILED ANSWER.

hi there,

because I dont have rational software to reproduce ur problem. So I just suggest a stupid solution below:
- use a tool to capture the picture (or using Print Screen) and then save it as an image file
- put it into html file

Hope this helps

Hi,
Thanks for your care,
I know that the solution you suggested works but because I have a lot of documents and I can't change all of them, I need to find a better solution.
I know that Html help workshop also does not show some Jpeg pictures.

Sorry, my telepathic abilities are a bit weak at the moment, so I can not remotely examine your code.

I think that you need to show the code you are using, otherwise you will only get wild guesses.

Posting this again, SPS can you supply the code you said last time. Thanks.

I have a javascript date picker on a asp.net web form. What I want is that when the Web form is loaded that if the Ststus field contains the text "Closed" then the datepicker will disappear.

Has anyone any resources or ideas on how to achieve this?

HotKeys for HREF links

hi folks,

is it possible to define hotkeys for href-links in the html,
so the user may select them by simply pressing this keys ?
(w/o having to scroll through the whole page)

Hi there,
IMO, you can implement this functionality with the client side script. You basically need to do the things:

+ Capture when a key is pressed, you can create am event handler for the onkeydown[^]/onkeypress[^] events of the body element.

+ Based on the keyCode of the pressed key, you can get the appropriate link and take a proper action.

The sample code is something like:

function CaptureHotKey(e)
{
	if (e.keyCode == 65)//The keyCode of 'A' is 65.				
	{
	        //Get the expected link for the keyCode 65.
		var href = document.getElementById("link1");
                               
		//Take the proper action: set focus on it or navigate to its url.
		href.focus();
		//window.location.href = href;
	}
	....
}
....
<body onkeydown="CaptureHotKey(event);">

+ [Edit]You can also take a quick look at the ACCESSKEY Attribute | accessKey Property

u can define a hotkey for href element. So user just simply press Alt+ character that u defined, then the link will get focus.
below is the sample code:
press Alt-C

Using ASP to get an image from MS Access

I'm trying to get an image from an Access database (which is stored as an OLE Object type) to appear, on the fly, when the page is built using ASP.

My ASP page looks like this:

<%<br />
	var sProductId = Request("productId");<br />
	if (sProductId == null || sProductId == "")<br />
	{<br />
		Response.End();<br />
	}<br />
<br />
	// calls a function from an include file to get the recordset<br />
	var rsImage = getRsUsingParams("procProductImages", sProductId);<br />
	if (!rsImage.EOF)<br />
	{<br />
		Response.ContentType = "image/jpeg";<br />
		Response.BinaryWrite(rsImage("fullsizeImage").Value);<br />
	}<br />
	else<br />
	{<br />
		Response.End();<br />
	}<br />
	<br />
	rsImage.Close();<br />
	rsImage = null;<br />
%>

But what I get back is an empty image placeholder - no picture. Has any one any ideas about what is happening? All the necessary include files are included and when I try this function in isolation I don't get any errors.

HELP!!

Disable <script> at runtime

Hi is it possible to disable all the scripts inside a frame at runtime
i mean by using some form of javascript.
i have page1 which will disable all the tags when it load another page inside the IFrame.
One way is to put it the comments block around the block u want to disable

but i don't want this, i want do disable and then enable scripts in a Iframe at runtime

Thanks In Advance Big Grin | :-D

hi there,

First, I'm sorry if I misunderstood ur mean. because javascript code can be dynamically generated at runtime, so u can do whatever u want in this case.
I mean u can enable/disable js by coding.
Thats what I think

Guffa31-Aug-05 3:43

No, you can't disable scripts using script.

And even if you could, it would not be possible to enable scripts once the page is loaded, as some scripts only work while the page is loading.
