Thanks. One more question:
What about "posting" checkboxes variables states?
If Request.Form("bAreUSure").checked=true Then
MsgBox "Fire at will"
End If
??

On the server side, Request.Form("bAreUSure") will return the value if the box is checked, or an empty string otherwise.
Also, you can't use the MsgBox function in server-side code!
If Request.Form("bAreUSure") = "1" Then
Response.Write "Fire at will"
End If

1) I am looking for some good books on Perl and CGI scripting that cover beginner to advanced topics, any suggestions?
2) Is it possible to have a download counter on a website that can keep track of how many downloads the file is getting if it is being hyperlinked from another website? If so can someone point me in the right direction?
Thanks.

1. ) Perl Cookbook - O'Reily is good. Perl is probably one of the most available languages for source code, examples, and tutorials on the web. There is a script for everything. Due to Perls age there is a lot of code, just look.

Thanks for the info...there is definitely endless amounts of info for Perl and scripts on the internet but I seem to learn best when reading from a book. I will give the one you suggested a shot.

I recently put a PHP poll on my web site with automatically updating results on the homepage from an SQL database. The problem is that the page does not reload when the user clicks the "go back" link:
go back
How do I reload the page without creating an infinite loop? By the way, I run a Unix server with everything but ASP (only for NT servers and I don't have the money for that laying around), so I need a solution for PHP.

what do u mean when u say you need to "go back" and "infinite loop"? sounds like you're not very exact with the logic/execution sequence. If PAGE_1 updates PAGE_2 and PAGE_2 "go back" to PAGE_1 every update cycle, of course you have an infinite loop.
But if your problem is with loading page variables properly...? Then:
page2.asp:
">
...
...
And if you are simply updating results on a homepage drawing data from a backend data source, the "fininte loop" problem is rather irrelevant. Every time the user load your "homepage", the IIS gets a fresh copy of data from the data source (text file or a SQL server or anything).
Usually, data on the server (perhaps an Access database or SQL server or anything) gets updated thru continously in the event that u have an online system (OLTP) or that updates are done in batches (every nite a DTS package is run). But you have to figure out what exactly you wish to do. If your homepage is just to display information drawn from a backend, you DO NOT have an infinite loop, and you shouldnt.
If your homepage "poll" the backend data source periodically - in which case you dont reload the form - just use a timing loop and periodically draw from the database, but that's a lot of network traffic isnt it? Is there any particular reason you need to "poll" your data source?

What I mean is that when I hit the back button, I want the page to refresh once. I put the history.go() code into the home.php file and I got an infinite loading loop like I thought. That's what I meant. Is there some way to use my SQL database to solve this problem?
-- Steve
|
|
|
|
|
sorry, not quite sure what u're trying to do here. click back button to refresh? why not click the "refresh" button to refresh?
but in my brief ASP experience, history.go() is somewhat unreliable - depending on browser setting. i prefer to POST hidden form variables.
anywaz...

Hi friends,
Please give me the source code javascript of counter of visitors on website.(Included its graphic). And then I will add to my webpage.
Any advice or idea appreciated.
Thank you very much in advance.

It can't be done in javascript - how would that be possible ? Your web server needs to keep track of visitors and increment a counter. By the time your javascript is running, you're on the client and it's too late to be storing *anything* except a cookie, which is not of much help to you.
Are you running an asp website, or just html ? If asp, then it's something you need to do in your database. If you don't have a database, you've had it.

Hey Thuy Dinh ,
You need server-side intervention to keep track of visitors and clientside JavaScript alone cannot achieve this trick. Perhaps if you do not have access to serverside scripts and can use only static html pages, check out
http://www.thefreesite.com/
(Webmaster Freebies section) and there are lot of cobranded counters/site stat services, that can help you).

I am suffering from a lot of pain doing this. And I have decided to bring this to you genius - with the belief that someone on this planet will safe me further trauma debuggin this script.
Here's what i have on my ASP script:
'Connecting to Microsoft SQL Server:
oConn.ConnectionString = "Provider=sqloledb; Data Source=(local); Initial Catalog='dummyDB'; User ID=sa; Password=sa"
oConn.Open
'Update profile through stored procedure "sproc_ChangeProfile":
Set oCmd = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Command")
With oCmd
.ActiveConnection = oConn
.CommandText = "dbo.sproc_ChangeProfile"
.CommandType = adCmdStoredProc
.Parameters.Append .CreateParameter("@old_login", adChar, adParamInput, 15, Request.Form("txtOldLogin") )
.Parameters.Append .CreateParameter("@login", adChar, adParamInput, 15, Request.Form("txtLogin") )

.Parameters.Append .CreateParameter("@address_province", adChar, adParamInput, 100, Request.Form("address_province") )
.Parameters.Append .CreateParameter("@address_country", adChar, adParamInput, 100, Request.Form("address_country") )
.Parameters.Append .CreateParameter("@address_zipcode", adChar, adParamInput, 100, Request.Form("address_zipcode") )
.Parameters.Append .CreateParameter("@update_target", adInteger, adParamInput, 4, Request.Form("update_target"))
.Parameters.Append .CreateParameter("@error_status", adInteger, adParamOutput, 4, 0) 'OUTPUT: error status.
'Execute the stored procedure:

End With
'Check return status:

'No error.

'exception handling - please refer to stored procedure for error code interpretation.
bstatuscode=oCmd.Parameters("@error_status")
End If
Here's the declaration of the stored procedure in question:

@email1 char(50) =NULL,
@email2 char(50) =NULL,
@tel_home char(30) =NULL,
@tel_office char(30) =NULL,
@tel_fax char(30) =NULL,
@tel_cell char(30) =NULL,
@tel_pager char(30) =NULL,
@title char(100) =NULL,
@association char(50) =NULL,
@address_unit_num char(15) =NULL,
@address_bldg_name char(50) =NULL,
@address_street_num char(15) =NULL,
@address_street char(100) =NULL,
@address_city char(100) =NULL,
@address_province char(100) =NULL,
@address_country char(100) =NULL,
@address_zipcode char(100) =NULL,
@update_target int=0,
@error_status int OUTPUT
)
I have checked and cross referenced many times. The types and parameters between the ASP and SQL script matches exactly. I have NO idea why I keep getting this following message when this script is executed:
ADODB.Command error '800a0bb9'
Arguments are of the wrong type, are out of acceptable range, or are in conflict with one another.
/submit_changed_profile.asp, line 39
Help!

How can i make my site to be resizeable depending on the visitors screen size/resolution????
Challenge everything
www.programers-g.tk

Depends on how complex of a site you have ...
If you want to maximize the browser window and have your content fit it regardless of the size you can use javascript to resize the window:
window.resizeTo(screen.availWidth,screen.availHeight);
window.moveTo(0,0);
And then in you HTML you could use tables that have 100% for the width to take up the entire width of the screen ...
That's just a suggestion ... depends on what you want to do ...

i have built an html/asp menu:
<table>
<tr OnMouseOver="bgColor='AliceBlue' OnMouseOut="bgColor='White' .... >
<td>menu item 1</td>
<tr>
<tr OnMouseOver="bgColor='AliceBlue' OnMouseOut="bgColor='White' .... >
<td>menu item 2</td>
<tr>
<tr OnMouseOver="bgColor='AliceBlue' OnMouseOut="bgColor='White' .... >
<td>menu item 3</td>
<tr>
<tr OnMouseOver="bgColor='AliceBlue' OnMouseOut="bgColor='White' .... >
<td>menu item 4</td>
<tr>
</table>
Question is, how can you set the icon for the cursor when mouse over?

How can I enforce a margin to a web document, I am using CSS for formating documents (I only use XML with a CMS that generates HTML, because I use both Windows and Linux  :P). I have tried left-margin ... and it hasn't worked. My teacher is strick about margins. Also how can I prevent a header from being placed on the first page?

Add this to your CSS page:
body
{
margin-left:5;
margin-top:5;
margin-right:5;
margin-bottom:5;
}
Change the values as per your requirements.
