Hi....
I have some problem with include files....
My site has many sub, sub-subdirectories like.. /home has sub-directories that looks like /home/1, /home/2, /home/3
And /home/1, /home/2, /home/3 has its own sub-directories that looks as /home/1/1a, /home/1/1b, /home/2/2a, /home/2/2b, /home/2/2c, /home/3/3a, /home/3/3b etc.
I try to include a file @ /home/include/ from the .asp file in the /home/2/2a directory. It loads fine and works good. When I click a link from that file (now I am in /home/2/2a) for a file @ /home/. It displays 404-file not found error.
I tried this with <include file=""> and also <include virtual=""> methods. But both gives me problem. Any suggestion please.....

Ok I am not sure what the include files have to do with 404 errors but here is some info which may help.
HTML includes a very helpful element: <base href="" />
Basically what it does is tell the browser that all relative URLs are to be prefixed with the value of the href attribute.
So I could have the following HTML:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>
<base href="http://www.notinkansas.com/" />
</head>
<body>
<a href="about.htm"><img src="res/img/test.png" /></a>
</body>
</html>
You could place that HTML file in any sub-directory of notinkansas.com but the IMG and A elements will find the right file.
Just be careful though as it screws ASP.NET forms up and you have to use some JavaScript to sort it out.

This is comething I guessed. And, will give a try.
If that thing doesnt seem to be a good solution.. I will have to re-organize and remove the subdirectories... as it has very few files in them right now.
Thanks..

I designed my site with 3 frames page. One as a banner, one for left navigation, one as the main content page.
Finally, my left navigation got biger and.... there are two scroll bars in my site. I need to remove the scroll bar. I wanna remove it...
Any simple proceess for it????

 Yeah, get rid of the frames;).
Generally speaking, frames are deriled in web development these days. There are better technologies to do what you are looking for, that will do the same thing better, easier and allow for better expansion and extensibility of your site.
They are also not complaint with the modern HTML standards.
Try looking at using tables to do what you want. Table design for a web page is more complicated than using frames, but it's easier to expand and modify than using frames. Plus you get back more screen area, which is always valuable.
If you want something that is really cool, look at using CSS ( Cascading Style Sheets ). You can do some amazing things with them, assuming your users have a compatible browser ( IE 5.5 or better, Mozilla 1.2 or better, Opera 6 ).
Yes, you may face a learning curve with all this, but you will be so much better off in the long run.

Yeah.... CSS is what I am planning to migrate to, and I thought of giving a chance of survival with the existing frames, like synchronising two frames (?!?!) and get my job done in few minutes. I know its going to be days,, if I need to put all the pages into the tables....
Thanks for the advice...

You can sync between different frames, but your looking at some complex JavaScript to do it. With CSS and compliant HTML code there is still some JavaScript involved, but it's no where near as complex.
You may want to start simple. Maybe move one of the frames over to the table, and then the other. You will need to get the feel for using tables to do what you need to do.
Also, if you are using a webserver such as Apache or IIS 4.0+, consider using SSI ( Server Side Includes ) to help ease layout and consistancy (sp?) issues. But don't worry about that until you get a design that your users are comfortable with.

Actually, Framesets are a modern HTML standard: HTML4.01 - 16 Frames[^] and XHTML 1.0[^]
Frames have been dropped from XHTML 2.0 and even in XHTML 1.0 the W3C recommends not using them.
They only kept them in XHTML 1.0 to ensure older sites encoded using frames have a chance to re-code.
Frames are bad in 99% of cases.

Actually, they are part of XHTML 2.0[^], but as XFrames, to quote the current draft: "XFrames not published yet - We need a reference to XFrames here, but XFrames is not yet public."

LOL well exactly, Frames as in the Frames we know and lo.. hate are not part of XHTML 2.0.
From what I have read, XFrames intends to retain the good parts of Frames and get rid of the horrible parts of Frames, like URLs etc.

Add this
<frame src="left.html" name="leftside" scrolling=no>
to your frame tag. As was said above though, tables are much easier, but I guess this is kind of late advice if you have already finished your page. For next time or upgrade though:
<table><br />
<tr><br />
<br />
<td> I am your left frame</td><br />
<br />
<td> I am your middle frame</td><br />
<br />
<td> I am your right frame</td><br />
<br />
</tr><br />
</table>
As you can see, you can put whatever you like inside this table framework. Other tables, menu's, etc. For an example check out www.lowveldinfo.com[^] - we built it using tables this way.

This doesnt work properly if a frame has more content (vertically). Those contents goes away.... I mean those are chopped off.
Thanks for ur reply...

May be you forgot to mention that the table technique you detail implies you use some server scripting technologies to manage the table content logic, essentially refreshing the whole page for each click. Unlike frame sets.

Phew.... I got a small point to justify why I used frame-sets....

Is it possible to build a web application that will allow the the use of short cut keys (hotkeys), function keys etc. as they are used in traditional windows forms applications?
Thanks,
Niels

You can on buttons
Include accesskey="s" title="Press alt+s to submit"
in your button tag
ie
Alt-S will now submit the form. You could put other letters on other buttons (calling javascript functions etc)

Hi All,
I am trying to retrived data from SQL server in my asp page via ODBC connection. I have done the ODBC connection via administration tool.
MY Code is:
<%
dim oConn, strSQL, rstMovie, Records
set rstMovie = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.RECORDSET")
Set oConn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
oConn.Open "Provider=MSDASQL; Driver={SQL SERVER}; SERVER=localhost; database=Movie2002; UID=test; PWD=test;"
strSQL = "Select * From tbl_movie"
rstMovie.Open strSQL,oConn,adOpenForwardOnly,adLockReadOnly
%>
when I am trying to view the page on the browser the error message is 'page cannot be displayed'. The error message relates to ODBC connection I think. Can anybody help?!!
Many Thanks.
