you can also install a "MS Certificate Server",and get a server certificate from it!
it's distributed with Win2000 and you can find it in your Win2000 CDROM!

When IE connect to a website using SSL,IE will display a dialog to ask user to select a certificate of him(or her).
In fact,IE connect to the system's CSP and search user's certificate.
my question is:
if my certificate is stored in other place,but not in the system's CSP or a SmartCard,how can I have IE use my certificate when it connect to a SSL website?
For example,I store my certificate(and private key) in my own USB card,which is not compatible with the SmartCard.What can I do?
I think that if I can hold up the event which occur when IE connect to the system CSP for requiring a user certificate(and private key),it will be simple!
thanks advance!

Hi all. I am very sad 
OK, I have the following HTML. A table with 4 rows, each row have variable cols and contains a table in the last column. Now my understanding is the the "inner" table should not affect how the outer table is "rendered". So what we have here is:
<table cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0 width=100%>
<tr><td colspan=3>
<table width=100% border=1>
<tr>
<td width=100px></td><td></td>
</tr>
</table>
</td></tr>
<tr><td width=15px></td><td colspan=2>
<table width=100% border=1>
<tr>
<td width=100px></td><td></td>
</tr>
</table>
</td></tr>
<tr><td width=15px></td><td width=15px></td><td colspan=1>
<table width=100% border=1>
<tr>
<td width=100px></td><td></td>
</tr>
</table>
</td></tr>
<tr><td width=15px></td><td colspan=2>
<table width=100% border=1>
<tr>
<td width=100px></td><td></td>
</tr>
</table>
</td></tr>
</table>
Now if you will kind enough to paste that in a blank page, you will see all looks well, especially when resizing the browser sideways. IOW the left hand "padding" TD's stays fixed. All happy, all OK. Btw, I use IE6 XP SP1.
Now change the the width attribute of the first inner table's TD from 100px to 150px. This shouldn't have an effect on the the outer table, yet when you now resize the browser sideways, the padding becomes relative. Now HTF is this possible? If you are still interested at this stage, try playing around with the other widths, you will see even stranger things happening, eg some rows are fixed and some are "variable".
Is it me or is this just the way it is? It makes tables very inflexable indeed. [edit] The same page with different widths for the TD's renders correctly in Mozilla 1.1 and Netscape 6.2.3, not in IE 5 however. IE 0 - NS 1. [/edit]
All help appreciated. Cheers.

Haven't tested the code, but btw never put </td> tags in begin of lines. There is a known IE rendering bug about it. Put </td> in tail instead.

The IE rendered is highly sensitive on the actual content inside the <td> ... </td> tags. In your sample, there is nothing, that's why from what I see IE behaves like mad. Usually web designers either fill table with content( ), or stretch a 1-pixel image (you know, that transp gif) to the actual width or height, so to achieve a pixel-perfect rendering.
Btw, using % in several places makes IE think that the overall outside table rendering relies on ratios rather than absolute values. That's probably why it changes with the IE client size.

Final words, don't expect the same rendering between browsers.
Don't even expect the same rendering between two IE versions.
Don't even even expect the same rendering between a given IE build, and next.

Erm, doesn't that defeat the point of a standard, namely HTML? This is basic HTML, not even beyond IE 3/ Netscape 3.

That's not standard stuff. When it comes to user agent implementation of imbricated table rendering, the W3C has done a pretty great job of not taking into account all possible implementation details. Resulting in the mess we know today.
Besides that, the way you use "px" refers to CSS styles, which adds behaviours depending on the browser. It's better to put a number without suffix : no px, no pt, no em.
About Html, it's all about hints and tries. I am afraid you can spend a whole week on it.

Hi Stephane
Sorry, I dont understand  . What will the "transparent" gifs do? Can I just use a 1x1 pixel gif?
Thanx
PS: TD is described as a content container, meaning it should be able to take any content within.

This trans.gif is a keyed 1-pixel GIF file. Stretching this image makes IE and other browsers act as if it was true content (in fact, images are content, like text). The fine thing is that if the image width and height are indicated, then IE and other browsers don't even have to figure out the actual content rect.
The keyed thing is to allow the GIF to be hidden (it doesn't even obscure the page background color).
This technique is used in many many websites.

Thanx Stephane, I see that it works, but now IE uses the content to set the width of the TD. It seems that if TD width > content width (TD width=200) then it messes up ALL following TD width's. This is wrong behaviour. Why can ONE one tables TD's width affect the outer tables TD's width?
So what do I do if I need to put text inside and not just "blanks"?
This from the HTML 3.2 spec:
The minimum and maximum width of nested tables contribute to the minimum and maximum width of the cell in which they occur. Once the width requirements are known for the top level table, the column widths for that table can be assigned. This allows the widths of nested tables to be assigned and hence in turn the column widths of such tables. If practical, all columns should be assigned at least their minimum widths. It is suggested that any surplus space is then shared out proportional to the difference between the minimum and maximum width requirements of each column.
This confirms that any nested table has no effect on the outer table. So if the nested table's width is fixed then it affects the outer table's column, but if the nested table's width is 100% then it should fill the outer table's TD, to whatever size that maybe.
I have another idea that I am going to try with the transparent gif.

Usually web designers insert a fake row (1-pixel height) made of all the td columns with only stretched transp images as content. This sets the widths of all columns.
Then all "data" rows follow.
Same stuff for solving the height problem. It gets tricky when you try to solve pixel-perfectness for both width and height at the same time. That's why most web pages are in fact properly handled in the horizontal direction only.

So I tried this, and it still does not render like it should!  Maybe its time for the suicide note 
If you look at this, the 3rd row becomes "variable". That is quite inconsistant. Now if we look at row 3 , we can see that:
Now we know the row width is 100%, then we 3 TD's namely 2 with width 15px, so we end up according to the spec with 100% - (2 x 15px) = nested table's width. But it does not work that way in IE.

If at least one of the TD width is not indicated, and the overall table width is not indicated (or indicated as %), then at least one of the column becomes "variable". In addition, the positioning of the actual columns depends on the browser, browser version, and so on.
To remove "variable"-size columns, you must indicate the width for all columns, and the table width. All in absolute pixels, not in %.

But I WANT that last column's width variable! Then I will place some more content in that variable width column.

That is correct, with one exception. All column's width's that has not been specified, will be divided among equally to take up the rest on the table's width.
So if we have a table with say 4 columns and 2 of thems with has been defined ( case one: 15px, case 2: 15% ) and the tables width is defined as 100%. Say the allowable width of the table is 100px, according to the browser.
Case 1:
The width of the 2 remaining columns = 35px each. (100 - (2 x 15))/2
Case 2:
The width of the 2 remaining columns = 35px each. (100 - (2 x 15))/2/100 x 100
Now we resize the browser to make table's width to 200px.
Case 1:
The width of the 2 remaining columns = 85px each. (200 - (2 x 15))/2
Case 2:
The width of the 2 remaining columns = 70px each. (100 - (2 x 15))/2/100 x 200
Now with this knowledge we implement the original problem (with the 1st TD of the nested table = 150px. Say the browser's calculated table width is 500px.
The TD's width of row one must be: 500px.
The last TD's width of row 2 must be: 485px. 500 - 15.
The last TD's width of row 3 must be: 470px. 500 - 15 - 15.
Now again we resize the browser. Table width now is 700px.
The TD's width of row one must be: 700px.
The last TD's width of row 2 must be: 685px. 700 - 15.
The last TD's width of row 3 must be: 670px. 700 - 15 - 15.
Now , the nested table's column's width could only affect the outer table if it was bigger than the outer table's column's width, which is <b>not</b> the case! Now paste the following and you will see what I mean. I added some CSS to illustrate the point. You will see table 2 & 4 does not render correctly. Try some more combinations, and things get more inconsistant.
Cheers

Using an absolute width (100px) in the inner table overrides the relative setting of the outer table (100%). The padding seems to adjust to accomodate the absolute setting.

Its the other way around....  Have a closer look again at the HTML. As it is in my 1st post, it renders correctly, but changing one width (the 1st one), it messes up the rest. So we will have the following and comapre that to the first post. VS.NET added all the """'s and removed the "px", but the effect is the same. I added some text for clarity.
Maybe not a bug, but a serious flaw if you ask me

In the profile-upload/upload-include.asp file:
Class FileUploader
................
Public Property Get Form(sIndex)
Form = ""
If mcolFormElem.Exists(LCase(sIndex)) Then Form = mcolFormElem.Item(LCase(sIndex))
End Property
..................
End Class
Can someone explain to me what that underlined parts mean?
And in photos/upload-photos.asp file:
set uploader = new fileuploader
if uploader.form("action") = "add"
uploader.form("description");
How can these be done?Are there any linkages?
I hope you know my meaning.

Hiya,
I have a problem with CreateObject. I'm writing a webapp for the company
intranet. All user PC's have office 97 installed running on an NT 4
platform, the servers don't have office installed.
One function of my app is that it generates an Excel chart. It does this
using client-side VBScript. On my PC, when I execute the instruction:-
Set xlApp = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
Excel loads into memory (confirmed by checking Task Manager)
On any other PC (well, 3 others I have tried) Excel doesn't load. Any ideas
why?
Cheers,
Rob
