In short no.
Front-end web-development is quite imature and has so many ifs and buts that any rules or any one book does not help.
What I need to know before I can recommend a book or site is what environment are you coding for? The public internet? An intranet where the browser set is controlled? A set of external users which you can enforce a base level browser?

Currently intranet based using the current version of IE. We have pretty much standardised on IE throughout the group. (Which should make life easier)

Hi,
I need info regarding the e-com, of which I dont know head/tail. Let me tell the existing scenario. I have a site hosted at some server, that displays the product info. Now I wanna change to a e-com site, to allow user purchase the product online, using credit cards! My questions are,
1. How do I find if my server suports the credit card gateway etc??
2. Are there any separate service providers who can provide this credit card service alone to my server?? How do I locate them?
3. Is there any online help, to learn about this e-com (search engine gives only the e-com sites, not help)
Need help!

You don't need. You almost answered in your second question, yes there are different providers, one for web hosting and another (or more) for credit cards. If you live in US/Canada (I believe that most of Europe too) you have no problem at all. It called "Merchant account". As well as you can ask in your bank, they all know what is that and how to manage it. If you don't want (or can't), there is still some hope - use http://www.paypal.com[^]. It allows you to make almost the same thing, users can use credit cards on your site and buy things from you. There is only one downside of it: they have to be PayPal customers as well (signup is free and most of people are already members there).
About links.... I'll look when I'll get home, maybe I still have links to some site about e-commerce

I'm looking for info on how to make any file (.pdf, .jpg, .doc, .anything) forced as a download even if the browser (mainly IE) thinks it knows what to do with that kind of file.
For example:
I have a series of links, I want the user to only have to left click to initiate the download. If they click on a .jpg file it will try to open it in the browser and just show the image. I want it to prompt a user for downoad regarless of file type.
I am using ASP to develop this project currently.
TIA,

Pretty simple actually ...
'Buffer the response
Response.Buffer = True
'Create a Stream object
Const adTypeBinary = 1
Set adoStream = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Stream")
adoStream.Open
adoStream.Type = adTypeBinary
adoStream.LoadFromFile "c:\mypic.jpg" 'Need absolute path to file
'Prepare the header information
Response.AddHeader "Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=mypic.jpg"
Response.AddHeader "Content-Length", "1024" 'You can get this dynamically using FileSystemObject
Response.Charset = "UTF-8"
Response.ContentType = "image/jpeg" 'There are different possibilities here too
'Send the data
Response.BinaryWrite objStream.Read
'Flush the response
Response.Flush
'Clean up
objStream.Close
Set objStream = Nothing

I found a code that goes a little further...
no only does it force the download...but it allows you to list all the files in a specified (or dynamically generated) path, but it lets you select the file that you want to download, sort the files but type, name or weight.
Go to the page that explains it all
see ya...

Hi all:
I hav problems when I try to connect to a Exchange Server with MAPI. The situation is as follows:
I have Exchnage Server in one machine and the ASP.NET application that access it in another machine. In order to logon I use this:
oSession.Logon(strUser, strPassword, False, True, 0, True, strProfileInfo)
and it connects. But when I try to access to any resource in the exchange (the inbox, for example) the next error appears:
"The information store could not be opened. [MAPI 1.0 - [MAPI_E_LOGON_FAILED(80040111)]]"
I think this is because access restrictions or something like that. Anyone has an idea of what is happening?
What is the best way to work against Exchange with this architecture (Exchange Server in one machine and ASP.NET application in another?
Any help will be apreciated.
Cheers,
Ivan

... answer.
Anybody know of any good online references or downloadable references for HTML4/DHTML/CSS and so on...
Just annoys me trying to remember every attribute of every tag and every style available. Would be nice to have something I can stick on a zip disk and carry around with me.

A great utility to view the Document Object Model that a browser has for a specific web page. Check it out. Hope fully it will help

I have some VB code in a .bas that I want to use in an ASP file, can this be done? And how would I go about doing it - i.e. what do I need to do in the ASP code to use the .bas file?
The code in the .bas is just a few public functions, nothing special - and it's not an ActiveX control.

technically since the .bas file is text you should be able to use a server side include to add the .bas file to an .asp page. Just make sure the code in the bas file is Compatible with VBScript, keeping in mind that vbscript uses late binding and it is not a full VB language implementation.

Well, to use the file in your asp code, simply add the following line:
<!-- #include file="yourfile.bas" -->
Even though the line is wrapped in an HTML comment tag, the ASP interpreter will recognize it, and include the file. That being said, the code in your .bas file has to be VBScript code, not Visual Basic code. I.E., change all CreateObject lines to Server.CreateObject, remove any type declarations (since all types in VBScript have to be Variants  ), etc.

Hi,
Does anybody know how I can read the registry on the server using ASP?
Thanks in advance

Use a Com component installed on the server. You can either make your own using VB or download one off the web. Do a search on google.

That works, or I found that you can use the Windows Scripting Host as well.

I would like to display a complied html help file (*.chm) in a "normal" browser window, without having to start the hh.exe.The chm file is in the same dir as the normal (index)html.
I know this is probably a very stupid question, but coming from a C/C++ world, html etc. is double dutch to me
Thanks in advance
Phil
bum... and I thought I´d got rid of all the bugs

Unfortunately, .chm files are proprietary file formats and require dedicated software components to be "played".
Actually, other than relying on the de facto hh player, you need to insert an ActiveX object in an html page so IE can play it. Unfortunately, the only html help related ActiveX installed by the html help run-time is hhctrl.ocx, and it's not insertable. Besides that, the starting API is not there. Read : it cannot be used like the Flash player for instance.
May be the html help center[^] has a solution for you.

Hello,
I want to use Crystal Reports with ASP. I do not want to show the reports to the user. Instead the report should be directly printed on the printer.
When a button is clicked on the screen, number of Reports should be made with each one taking different parameters. The layout of each file is ready. Besides I do not have Crystal Reports installed on my server. The client has given me the ready .rpt files.
Can anybody help in this urgently?
Thanks

HI
Iam using hhctrl.ocx control to close the main window and opens the another window
the code is follows like this :
<object id="closes" type="application/x-oleobject" classid="clsid:adb880a6-d8ff-11cf-9377-00aa003b7a11" viewastext="">
<param name="Command" value="Close" />
function openwin() {
splashWin = window.open("Login.aspx" , "LogonOn", "resizable=no,toolbar=no,location=no,status=yes,menubar=no,scrollbars=no,width=326,height=210")
window.focus();
closes.Click()
}
function shutdown(){
window.focus();
closes.Click();
}
this above code works perfectly with IE 5.5v
,but the same is not working with IE 6.0.The error that iam receiving is "This operation can only function within HTML help"
Do i need to install any latest version of hhctrl.ocx control,which might solve this problem? any suggestions please?
Thx
