Hi
I want my html page to have a fixed background (bgproperties="fixed"), but I don't want to tile the background, i.e. only one instance of the picture on top of the page.
I've seen a backround-repeat : no-repeat command, but that does not seem to work.
tx for any help

background-repeat is the correct way (not bgproperties="fixed".)
Remember it has to go either in an external CSS file on the BODY tag or using an inline style in the BODY tag. e.g. <body ... style="background-image: url(yourbackgroundpicture.jpg); background-repeat: no-repeat;">
It is not an attribute of BODY like bgproperties is.

Hi All.
I need a little progress bar to view the status (in the body of page) of some process
like database connection process,
reading and parsing files process,
loading files process...
When this things are being done in the server I want to give info to user that how many percentage of process done. But I could not found an effective way. I need to show this progress bar both in ie and netscape. Could you give me any oppinion?

Could you be more specific? Language you are working with? ..... look into regular expressions. This shouldn't be too difficult, read a little.

I don't see a question. There are many good sources out there as this is only VBScript, I would suggest that you start reading. MSDN[^] is a great source as well.

Que1. There is a website that display results when you enter a roll number. My client wants me to make an application customised to his requirements but fetching data from that website. The trouble is I do not know the DSN of the database the result site is using nor do I have any access to the site. The only way I can think is of sending a get or post query from my page but then I cannot have any control over the recordset . Can you suggest any way of doing this in ASP or in any other language.
Que2. I cannot use global.asa on my local machine. Do you have to make any settings changes before the IIS finds the global.asa file. It is there in the root of my application but I cannot access the variables in it.
Will be thankful for your replies.
regards,
Deepak Appu

Does this site not expose an XML format or better yet, a webservice?
If not, then using GET/POST and searching through the resultant HTML is the alternative.

You could also try include files on the server side.

I'm trying to read from a text file, and I used the code provided on this website. Where I'm having the problem is that when I test the page it seems to stay in limbo, and locks up my IIS server. I think my problem is in my naming of the file to be read. The file is stored in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\testread.txt. When I go to enter in the "Const Filename = "What should be here???", and do I need to create an ODBC connection like when I connect a database. Your help would be greatly appreciated.
M.T.

Please can you post a code snipett.
Are you using the FileSystemObject?

I actually got it to work but thanks for input. Here is the working code incase anyone else needs help.
<%
Const Filename = "testread.txt"
Const ForReading = 1, TriStateUseDefault = -2
Dim FSO, FilePath
Set FSO = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
FilePath = Server.MapPath(Filename)
if FSO.FileExists(FilePath) Then
Set TextStream = FSO.OpenTextFile(FilePath, ForReading, False, TriStateUseDefault)
Dim Contents, Title
Title = TextStream.ReadLine
Response.Write "
" & Title & " "
Contents = TextStream.ReadAll
Response.Write "
" & Contents & " "
TextStream.Close
Set TextStream = nothing
Else
Response.Write" File" & Filename & " does not exist"
End if
Set FSO = nothing

Whilst I think php is a lesser language than ASP, it does the same job - just with a crappier syntax (IMO)
Cois wrote:

Because nobody has written any articles or asked any questions 
There are a few PHP examples about here, I think somebody converted the CP forums to PHP.

This is a good analogy, although there are versions for Windows, too.

PHP is the poor mans ASP...  (Just poking fun)
You are right in a way. PHP is to ASP as Linux is to Windows. The fact that PHP is generally served from Linux and ASP generally served from Windows strengthens that notion.
There is no section for PHP on CP because officially or not CP is a Microsoft/Windows site. 90% of the developers here are Microsoft boys and girls who use MS technologies.
Also nobody wants to dilute CP too much. If we let in PHP then we will have to let in Perl, ColdFusion, CGI etc. etc. Soon it will be a mess and the community will loose the cohesion it has.

Hi, tx for the replies.
The reason I'm asking is that my company has a webpage that is hosted on a Linux (Unix) machine, so I'm not sure if I would be able to use *.asp to connect with a database.
So: Can u use asp on a Linux server, and do I have to us MySQL?

You can serve ASP off a Linux box by using something called ChiliSoft which I see has now been renamed and is by Sun. Never used it, but apparently it works.
As for not having to use MySQL... MS SQL Server 2000 does not run on Linux. You could connect to it runnin on a Windows box, but I doubt that is what you want. Oracle probably runs on Linux. Otherwise MySQL is your best bet, it is not that bad (but you get spoilt using MS SQL.)
