Hi,
Actually in PHP, there is a builtin function called
'escapeshellcmd' to automatically escape shell commands and pass them as plain text.
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.escapeshellcmd.php
I think PHPMyAdmin (the PHP interface to MYsQL) has some features to disable queries with Drop etc.) Seeing that you can get how they have achieved this.
Perhaps in ASP, you may have to mimic the above functionality to deter the user from passing potentially harmful commands to the system.

Hi all
OK I have posted this "bug" (flaw) before but wasnt sure what was causing it, but I have now pinned it down. Have look at the following and paste into a page.
<table width="100%" border="1">
<tr>
<td>Some Text</td>
<td width="200">Some Text</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan=2>Some Text</td>
</tr>
</table>
<br>
<table width="100%" border="1">
<tr>
<td>Some Text</td>
<td width="200">Some Text</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan=2>Some really really really really really really long boring Text to prove my point just as long as it is wider than the above right column</td>
</tr>
</table>
OK some mite say this is not a bug, but what must I do then to "render" something as simple as the above. NS 6 / Mozilla 1.1 renders this correctly IMHO.
ANy suggestions welcome
[edit] it seems the colspan'ed TD "binds" to the last TD that it is spanning, this is dumb IMO, it should "bind" to the 1st TD or infact all of them...[/edit]

Didn't I tell you already there is no warrant regarding the user agent implementation ?
To get this displayed fine with IE, add this class :
<STYLE TYPE="text/css">
<!--
.TABLEFIXED { table-layout:fixed }
-->
</STYLE>
And set the class="TABLEFIXED" attribute to both table tags.

Why don't you use CSS to define the widths rather? Then the odd bug does not appear.

Hmm, thanx , I'll try that So CSS styles work for almost all table elements?

Oh yeah fully. CSS can be applied to any element within (and including) the BODY element. You can apply CSS classes to TD, TR, BODY, TH, FORM etc. etc. etc. Absolutely any element.

Since you recommended CSS months back I've been playing with them. Very effective!!!

I tried the table using CSS to set widths but it still does that if I dont add the table-layout:fixed style. I can live with that though...the forum site I'm working on too doesnt like fixed layout at all , so I guess its back to the drawing board

Hi all
What font do you consider the best for viewing webpages (generally content, not menus).
This is my preference : Tahoma, Verdana, Arial
Any one have problems with that?

Maybe. Generally good spacing between letters and lines helps readability. I always have a line-height of 130% and a letter spacing of 1px on content rich sites. Also keep paragraphs no wider than 45em.

Hehe, I had justification on the page I was looking at to test the fonts, Verdana seems to look quite nice without justification.

Yep, I like Verdana. Nice and clean.

Justification on the web is a bbbbaaddd idea. Newspapers, books etc. can do it because they have perfected it, but browsers do it terribly. So avoid.
Left align is best. Right align and centre align are also bad ideas

Why place Arial before Verdana or Helvetica when most clients will have Ariel? It pretty much makes then redundant...

In .NET, is there a way to set the browser title in code-behind?

I don't know a direct way but you can put a PLACEHOLDER control inbetween the TITLE tags and then add a literalcontrol to the placeholder with the title you want.
e.g.
<title><asp:placeholder id="pagetitle" runat="server" /></title>
then
...
protected PlaceHolder pagetitle;
...
private void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
pagetitle.Controls.Add(new LiteralControl("Absinthe from reality!"));...
