Drop down menus alex.barylski5-Apr-02 0:00 alex.barylski 5-Apr-02 0:00  I've spent all day designing a drop down menu control which will solve any problems i've had in the past when implementing them. Also it cut down on time, only about 3 mins to design a fully functioning menu, if things keep going according to plan. Anyways...in the past I know i've implemented the drop and float of popup menus wrong but am slowly figuring out how they should work. Just thought i'd run some ideas by you and see what you think. When the mouse moves over the *td* element things flash and if over the toplevel menubar then a small child (popup) window should appear. How should I make this window appear...? should I intercept the OnMouseOver and start a 500ms timer, then display the popup menu...? I would also have to handle the onMouseOut to make the popup invisible, but then how should I keep the popup visible when the mouse moves over the popup, via the *td* menubar element...? in the past i've used a timer and after time was up, if the mouse wasn't over either one of the menubar items or one of the popup window elements, the popup would disappear. Suggestions...? Thanx!

Anyway, why not to look at some working menus? For example: DHTML Central Philip Patrick Web-site: www.saintopatrick.com "Two beer or not two beer?" Shakesbeer Need Web-based database administrator?

For intranets, if the client has a minimum of IE5.5, you can use the XMLHTTP object. java script variable through asp 4-Apr-02 19:35 4-Apr-02 19:35  hi, I want to access java script variable in a asp. Re: java script variable through asp MS le Roux4-Apr-02 21:38 MS le Roux 4-Apr-02 21:38  You want to access a client-side variable in ASP script? AFAIK it doesn't work that way. When an ASP page loads, all the ASP script is processed on the server, then the Javascript is processed on the client. Re: java script variable through asp alex.barylski4-Apr-02 23:41 alex.barylski 4-Apr-02 23:41  I would agree! "An expert is someone who has made all the mistakes in his or her field" - Niels Bohr Re: java script variable through asp alex.barylski4-Apr-02 23:47 alex.barylski 4-Apr-02 23:47  I am a total virgin with protocols so I may be off, but i'll explain to the best of my knowledge. http is a stateless (non persistant protocol) this means it's impossible for a website to hold it's previous state, so using a variable defined in JScript from ASP on the server is impossible. I guess you could consider the following a work around for this short fall: Use cookies... Save the variable to cookie using JSCript and access it from ASP using cookies again. Also...can you not send your variable as url encoded...? Cheers!

I managed it once, but cannot recreate that feat. I have a folder under the wwwroot folder called thewebsite. Under that are many folders, only two of which I want to be searchable, contents and resources. The files I want searchable are .xml, .doc, and .pdf files. I set up my Catalog, point it at the website. When I check Index Server though it says that there are 208 documents to index and the Catalog size is 0 and the word lists are 0. That naturally is bad (the number of documents are right though.) I have tried adding the Directories themselves to the Catalog, but no luck (though at first IS added a whole bunch of it's own directories and coloured them differently, they worked though!) Does anyone have a step-by-step guide to creating a frigging Catalog for Index Server to search a website? (p.s. sometimes the Catalog works, through blind luck I believe, but then the VPath property does not come through (tracking is set properly).)

You already have it! help needed using a Session variable... code dope3-Apr-02 21:41 code dope 3-Apr-02 21:41  why won't the following work? <% var buffer; buffer = Request.QueryString("aValue"); Session("BufferValue") = buffer; %> or even <%Session("BufferValue") = Request.QueryString("aValue");%> I am trying to get a value passed in to a page (which works OK) and then store it in a Session variable so that it can be accessed by another page later. The error meesage I get says something like: "can't store an Intrinsic Object in a Session variable" Looks pretty good to me but perhaps I'm still in the C++ mindset! Any help would be appreciated - thanks. code dope. Re: help needed using a Session variable... Dan Pomerchik4-Apr-02 0:57 Dan Pomerchik 4-Apr-02 0:57  mmm very weird, I've used the same code line and it worked fine. Are you sure that the server supports the Session object? - Dan "Intel inside - Idiot outside" Re: help needed using a Session variable... code dope4-Apr-02 1:40 code dope 4-Apr-02 1:40  thanks for your reply.. yes I think so, because if I give it a string literal: e.g. <%Session("BufferValue") = "A string literal";%> it works fine! It gets used on a Form on another page, which, again, works fine if I give it the string but not the variable, as follows: <FORM> ...other stuff <input type=hidden name= FName value=<%=Session("BufferValue")%>> </FORM> Unfortunately though I can't give it a string. thanks again for your help code dope.

Any help would be appreciated - thanks. You cannot use buffer as a variable name as it is an "intrinsic object" (whatever that means.) Check out Response.Buffer So just change buffer to something else, like strBuffer etc. regards, Paul Watson Bluegrass Cape Town, South Africa The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love, and to be loved in return - Moulin Rouge Re: help needed using a Session variable... code dope4-Apr-02 2:25 code dope 4-Apr-02 2:25  thanks , Paul. In fact, I wasn't using "Buffer" as my variable name - I just used that here because the actual names are not meaningful unless you know what the project is all about, and, for various reasons, I am not allowed to make that public knowledge. However, I will try using various names just in case I have stumbled across something that is "Intrinsic!!" (whatever that is!) thanks again - I'll let you know what happens. code dope. Re: help needed using a Session variable... code dope4-Apr-02 2:40 code dope 4-Apr-02 2:40  No, it didn't work. I tried this: <% var thingy; thingy = Request.QueryString("A_Value") Session("Batch")= thingy; %> and got this: "An intrinsic object cannot be stored within the Session object." By the way, the return from "Request.QueryString("A_Value")" is just a character string - actually it's a File name with nothing other than numbers and letters, so there shouldn't be a problem there. any more ideas? code dope. Re: help needed using a Session variable... Philip Patrick4-Apr-02 4:05 Philip Patrick 4-Apr-02 4:05  Maybe this is an array? For example if you have several INPUTs with same name attribute? Try to use like Request.QueryString("value")(1) (dunno exactly how in Javascript, maybe it starts from 0?) Well, just another thought Philip Patrick Web-site: www.saintopatrick.com "Two beer or not two beer?" Shakesbeer Need Web-based database administrator? You already have it! Re: help needed using a Session variable... code dope4-Apr-02 4:33 code dope 4-Apr-02 4:33  i love you forever & want to have your babies!!!! only kidding! IT WORKED! I changed the code to: <% strValue = Request.QueryString("A_Value")(1); Session("Batch")= strValue; %> Seriously though, thanks a lot for your suggestion. And everyone else who had a go. I was really getting ****ed off with it. It looked as though the assignment to the Session variable was the culprit, when it was actually not getting the value from the Query String. Strange, though, because I use that line to get the value from the Query string in several other places and it never fails. Oh well, who cares!!! Thanks again. code dope.

The best way to boost performance is to use Client-side cursor (adUseClient) with forward-only and read-only recordset (adOpenForwardOnly, adLockReadOnly) and RecordCount works fine with such Recordset Philip Patrick Web-site: www.saintopatrick.com "Two beer or not two beer?"
