Also, if you wish to receive anything approaching a useful answer, you may want to put a bit more thought into your question...

Hi,

Does anyone know how set the dropdown width of a HTML Select control in IE??

I want to have the dropdown width wider than the control.

It works ok in FireFox, Bill.

I am redirecting database output to MS Power Point 2003 using response.contenttype which is working fine. My question is how to dynamically create a new power point slide for each selected record of the database. Currently one power point slide is created and the font is adjusted so that all of your output goes onto one slide.

Sounds to me like you've got the web bit nailed - your question is about Powerpoint... Unfortunately, you're looking in the wrong place.

Javascript problem

I'm making a simple html page with an external .js file that will write the navigation to a page. My problem is that for some reason the page will not call the function in the external file from the page.

Here is my .js file:

function WriteMenu(selectedNav)
{
document.writeln('<table id="NavigationTable">');
document.writeln('<tr>');

document.writeln(GetNavItem('Home', 'index.html', selectedNav == 'home'));
document.writeln(GetNavItem('History', 'history.html', selectedNav == 'history'));
document.writeln(GetNavItem('Castes', 'castes.html', selectedNav == 'castes'));
document.writeln(GetNavItem('Map', 'Library/Images/map.gif', selectedNav == 'map'));
document.writeln(GetNavItem('Rules', 'rules.html', selectedNav == 'rules'));
document.writeln(GetNavItem('Resources', 'resources.html', selectedNav == 'resources'));

document.writeln('<tr>');
document.writeln('</table>');
}

function GetNavItem(text, url, isSelected)
{
var navItem;

if (isSelected)
{
navItem = '<td class="selected"><a href="' + url + '">' + url + '<a></td>';
}
else
{
navItem = '<td><a href="' + url + '">' + url + '<a></td>';
}

return navItem;
}

Here are the answers to obvious questions.

Here is my header:
<script language="Javascript" type="text/javascript" src="Library/JS/Menu.js" />

Here is where I am trying to call the function. This is inside the body tags for the page.

<script type="text/javascript">
WriteMenu('home');
</script>

I even tried adding an alert to the function and I get nothing. Why won't it call the functions?

Well, first step is throw away your HTML, you need to replace it with server controls. Second is to buy a book and do some work for yourself. Then when you have specific questions, the third step is to ask in the right forum.

I'd suggest downloading the Web Developer Express Edition, using the designer to lay out a page and a data source, and see how you go. I really can't tell you how to use C# or write a website in a forum post.

Webcrawler - Please help

Hi,

I am new to this forum and fairly a beginner in programming.

I was hoping someone here could help me with the following.

I would like to have a webcrawler to search multiple search engine databases.

Ideally like to do what this page does http://www.findchips.com but have the ability to modify the search string (to websites I want) and come back with specific results from the queried page.

Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance
Daren

That's not a webcrawler. A webcrawler wanders the web. This thing does specific searches, and has specific code to parse the result. They do not search search engine databases, they ask the search engine to do that, and examine the result.

I'd recommend starting with something simpler, most people who try to start with an ambitious project, end up giving up.

Hi Christian,

I do not understand what you mean by start with something simpler?

This is what I want it to do.

I just want to know if there are any projects or progams than I can use to accomplish this.

Thanks

I have gone as far as building an "array" with several engines in Javascript.

I want something "neat and clean" as the example I provided. Where the returned results show on the same seach page at the bottom.

The tool is out there, I just figured someone here might have advise on how to get it.

Thanks
