What type of access are we talking about here? Are you running IIS or Apache? If you can't answer this please provide your host name and the plan you are on.

It is Apache. The access I am talking about is a .mdb file.
The website is created in php and I want to edit the .mdb file.

Thanks

Am I getting confused or is that a MS Access file?

If so then Why?

PHP/MySQL is a much better combination for any web development then PHP/Access.

Anyway I will try help you as best I can, although I haven't really touched Access since Win98....

Before I hit the spam button, please confirm that you have just asked people to do a project for you.

If this is the case i would advise you delete that post. This site is not for people who are too lazy to do their own work.

You can always ask for ideas or help in specific subject, but the notion that you intend for someone else to do work for you is very irritating.

Hyperlink..

Hi

I am not sure if this is the correct forum category in which to pose this question, but I shall go ahead anyway..if it is not then, please advise..

Could anyone advise me as to how I might, if it is at all possible, define a hyperlink in an HTML document that supports the following characteristics:

1. The target is a plain ASCII file that should be displayed in a new window, say for example using WORDPAD or NOTEPAD and not explorer, so that plain text formatting is honoured.

2. That if the user right clicks the link, a/the popup menu provides the ability to view or 'run' the target; which will be launched by own application.
Note, the filetype, for example '.ABC' of the target, has already been registered/associated with my application.

I would like to be able to offer the two options; so that the user can view the target file or launch my application against the file.

Best regards.
James.

Well you can Half do this. You can get a browser to honor the plain text formating by naming the file *.txt (Astrix is wild card) or you can set the headers on the output to a text file. A PHP example is:

<?php<br />
header('Content-type: text');<br />
?><br />
Standard text here.<br />
and Here.<br />
And perhaps even here.<br />

so this tells the browser to render the content as text.

ok this you can do this IF the application is installed on the clients computer.

Say you had a file you wanted to be rendered as a PDF, well again you use the content you use the Content-Type Headers.

<?php<br />
header('Content-type: application/pdf');<br />
<br />
// Only throw the next line if you want the save dialog to be presented to the user, the filename parameter is what the default filename should be.<br />
header('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="default_filename.pdf"');<br />
<br />
?> <br />
<br />
This will be formatted as a PDF file.....

I hope this is what you wanted....

BTW I am sure that this works with AJAX.

Finally remember that the headers MUST be the first thing sent down to the browser, therefore this will NOT work if anything is sent down before it, including blank lines.

I need to build a flash animation that gets its data from a Delphi 5 host application. I am pretty sure this can be achieved using the FSCommand from Flash but I dont know how to go about building a small test app to prove this?

Delphi sends flash a value say '5' and then flash uses this to run an animation on the stage and in return tells Host when its completed?

Any tips or tutorials that you guys are aware about please let me know.

Cheers

Dear All,
how can I prvent user from entering specific pattern such as "1111" , "5555" and "123456789" , usin regular expression control.

In other word I don't want user to repeat the number 4 or 5 times in input box.
Ex: 1111 wrong
5555 wrong
1246 right

Thanks for reply...

<num>\d)(?=\k<num>)){3,}

This expression is true when it finds a number that is repeated at least 3 times.

The number 1111329 contains the number one which is repeated 3 times.

The above expression will not evaluate 111329 to have a match. I have not tested this expression by the way.

George

javascript tip for Ajaxed but accessible links [modified]

seubi15-Nov-06 0:06

You want to make a website with the navigation in ajax
(exemple <a href="javascript:LoadPage1()"> page1 </a> refreshing the mainarea of your page to show the right page)

This approch brings a very reactive website but brokes all standards for the users :

Maybe your users want to open your page in a new tab or in a new window
Maybe your users disables javascript

So I give you a very small and simple implentation of a link which :
- Launch a javascript(ajax) method when the user just click on it with javascript enabled
- Make a classic navigate when the user just click on it without javascript
- Make a classic navigate on a new tab/window if the user click on it with :
* the middle button
* CTRL pressed
* SHIFT pressed

-----------------------------------------------------------


<script type="text/javascript">

function SmartLink(evt, sender, ajaxJs)
{
var ctrlid = sender.id;
var ctrlhref = sender.href;
sender.href='';
var btn = evt.button;
var IE=navigator.appName=='Microsoft Internet Explorer';
if(!IE){ btn ++ ;}
var classic = false;
if((btn < 2) && (!evt.ctrlKey) && (!evt.shiftKey))
{
eval(ajaxJs);
setTimeout("SmartLinkRestaureHref('"+ctrlid+"', '"+ctrlhref+"')",1);
}
else
{
sender.href=ctrlhref;
}
return false;
}

function SmartLinkRestaureHref(cid, url)
{
document.getElementById(cid).href = url;
}
</script>

<script type="text/javascript">
function MyAjaxLink1()
{
// my ajax method
alert('i can make a ajax call here');
}
</script>

<a id="SmartLink1" href="http://www.google.com" onmousedown="SmartLink(event, this, 'MyAjaxLink1()');">my smart link 1</a>
-----------------------------------

very simple here but maybe a good thing to be packaged

I’d like to show a 'gallery' of uploaded videos that are available to the user, similar in principle to that shown in windows explorer when viewing a directory of videos.

Not sure how to do it.

I’d like the first frame of a video to be displayed to give some indication of content, and I wonder if anyone knows how to do that without going to the trouble of playing the first frame, capturing it, and displaying it as a static graphic.

Thanks in anticipation. Blush | :O
