On my web pages, I tend to match the "normal" font size to that of the windows font. So I guess it doesn't matter what screen resolution other people are running because it would appear to be "normal" to them anyway. There will always be people that changed the fonts to the windows menus etc to what they want and as good a mind reader that I am, I just don't know what the user does with the fonts on their system. And I think at least if I set the fonts of the website similar to the standard system fonts then it would suit the majority of users.

I don't know about you, but I use <td valign = "top">... quite a lot when I build HTML tables.
I have however never learnt the equivalent command in CSS. Could someone enlighten me on this one? I've been looking everywhere on and off for a year, but has come up with nada. I search the net everytime I start a new project when I bump into this little "problem", but give up after an hour of wasted time.
Is it possible I have to fiddle with flows and offsets? Please don't tell me I've just missed some silly CSS property, or I'll have to commit harakiri.

Try verticalAlign- auto
- Aligns the contents of an object according to the value of the layout-flow attribute.
- baseline
- Default. Aligns the contents of an object supporting VALIGN to the base line.
- sub
- Vertically aligns the text to subscript.
- super
- Vertically aligns the text to superscript.
- top
- Vertically aligns the contents of an object supporting VALIGN to the top of the object.
- middle
- Vertically aligns the contents of an object supporting VALIGN to the middle of the object.
- bottom
- Vertically aligns the contents of an object supporting VALIGN to the bottom of the object.
- text-top
- Vertically aligns the text of an object supporting VALIGN to the top of the object.
- text-bottom
- Vertically aligns the text of an object supporting VALIGN to the bottom of the object.

Don't worry, I thought I knew a lot about CSS. I knew about vertical-align but only a few of it's values. It is a good lesson why you should not become dependant on what VS.NET tells you are possible values

Ah, found it. Just next to "101 ways to reach Sto-Vo-Kor" On a more serious note, life is great. I've never doubted that. It's just that it's great in too many ways. I could've settled with half.

How true! I'm baffled though that I didn't find what I was looking for at www.w3c.org[^]. I use the recommendation documents quite often. I guess I can conclude this with the cliché "It's hard to see the forrest with all the trees blocking my view"or whatever the saying is in English

Just looked and found vertical-align values[^].
Still, it is the browser implementations that are probably your biggest problem. Bet they are all over the place.

Hopefully it will work out fine. The biggest differences between IE and Mozilla based browser I've seen, with respect to CSS, are sizes. Percent sizes in CSS behave very differently depending on if you've specified a size in the parent element or not. Very peculiar since old style width and height attributes seem to work just fine.
The only requirements I have are that this should work on IE and mozilla based browsers, and I will do weird and wonderful hacks to make it work if necessary.

Been scratching my head for too long now, so I hope there are someone out there who can tell me how to do this:
What I got:
I got an Access database with two tables, one for productcategories and one for products. In the products table I also got a unit price column.
On a webpage I got a form with two dropdown boxes and a textfield.
What I am doing:
The first dropdown box dynamically displays product categories via VBscript. No problem. The second dropdown box dynamically shows products in the selected product category. (No need to reload page as I use a Javascript array to store every possible value. It's not a big database).
What I want to do:
I need the price to dynamically show up in the textfield when a product has been selected.
I know the theory behind it. I need to load all the prices into a Javascript array from the database... but I can't understand how this is done in the code. (I mainly copied and pasted the code I got so far).
Copy of successful code below, anyone that could tell me how I can get the prices into an array and make them appear in a textfield?
Cheers
John

Hi,
In my recent project I have a requirement to support two browser
instances, each of them using 2 different dialup connection settings.
How can point a browser to point to specific dial up settings?
I checked MSDN and some other sites such as codeguru.com & codeproject.com ,
but all my efforts are in vain.
I tried with normal Internet Explorer setting Internet options, which If we change once
are affecting the settings globally.
and also I tried using web browser control and winINet API..
Can you please give me an idea which will show me some path to solve this problem?
Thanks alot in advance..

Hi
How do webpages update themselves automatically, like the ones that shows the soccer scores during the world cup?

G'day....
One (simple) way is to use the JavaScript "setTimeout()" function.
Eg:
timeDelay = 30; // Time of delay before refresh in seconds.
myTimer = setTimeout( "refreshThisPage();" , (timeDelay * 1000) );
function refreshThisPage() {
document.location.replace("www.MyURL.com");
}
Hope this helps!;)

A variation on this would be to use the XMHTTP object with "setTimeOut()" for a partial refresh.

there are a few ways of doing this..
one is with the META tag <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="100">, which will reload the complete page after 100 seconds.
another, which I prefer when I really am not interested in reloading the entire page, is with an IFRAME. You can create an individual page the has the necesary process (ASP, PHP, whatever) and reloads after a couple of seconds.
<iframe left="0" top="0" width="600" height="80" z-index="2" scrolling="no" marginwidth=0 marginheight=0 frameborder=0 name="scores" src="http://www.yoursite.com/scores.asp"></iframe>
of course you'll have a page called scores.asp that will do whatever you need to do and have the <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="100"> so that only that section of your page does the trick.
IFRAMEs are pretty niffty since they work like a layer. You could even put it inside a cell of the main table of your site (for example).
hope that works
luck

Dear all,
I got a problem. I'll like to popup a window, and while it closed, I could get it's return value. I write those codes like this:
(***in main.aspx************************):
...
function popup(){
var r=window.showModalDialog("Search.aspx","QSWindow","Toolbar:yes");
document.all("Textbox1").value=r.returnID;
}
...
POP-UP Search window
(***and in search.aspx*******************):
...
function closeMe(rid){
this.returnID = rid;
}
...
Close ME
...
now I execute the main.aspx at IE6, and It appears an error message when I push 'Close ME' at search.aspx: "..returnID is null or not an object...."
So I can sure I don't get the return value. If someone could tell me why? or tell me another way to pass variables within main/search window using javascript? please~

 Hi all,
I've successfully created several web services and invoked them
without problem from my own machine. I've even consumed the services
from separate machines, but now I'm starting to think about deployment
and how exactly this is going to work.
Currently, I have the following directory structure for a web service
:
--- Web Services
--- MailWebService
--- Bin
As of now, all of the assembly references are copied locally in the
corresponding "Bin" directory. Obviously, this is a less than ideal
deployment structure, as most of these assemblies are used by other
applications/services and need to reside outside the
"Web Services\MailWebService\Bin". Ideally, I'd like to store all the
assemblies in one central "Bin" directory that both web services and
win applications can access, but I'm not exactly sure how I can
accomplish this. Prior to .NET, this was not a problem because of the
use of the registry, but I'm still a little ignorant how to accomplish
the same goal with .NET.
Any ideas on how I can reference the same assemblies from different
channels without having to duplicate bins across my directory
structure?
Thanks
-John

You can mix and match your managed and unmanaged code using MC++ - definitely at least take a look, since it may solve the problem

I hear ya. Been there, done that, trying real hard not to do it again. Refactoring in all glory, but it sucks when you have to do it in the 11th hour. Ripping out the guts from a carcass only to put it in a new host during stress is.. somewhat error prone.
