Only if you are using IE6. You can apply a cursor style to an element using the URL() syntax.
EX: style="cursor:URL(http://mysite.com/res/mycursor.cur)"

However, the resource must be a cursor or animated cursor (.cur or .ani) file.

onwards and upwards...

JS: Sort table problem

Hi,

I'm using an older version of Han Yu's script that can be found on this website, however the problem I seem to be facing is the fact that it has problems when there are empty cells in the collumn. For instance it will do something like this:

12
13
14

9
10

1
5
7

As you can see, the script restarts its sorting routine after the empty cell. What I want is to have the empty cells sorted at the top or bottom (doesn't really matter seeing you can resort the table the otherway).

Does somebody have a solution to this? (the newer version of the script is much to slow and doesn't fix this problem either).

PERL: How come I cant print out Unicode characters?

I want to print the Greek letter beta, so I do this: print ("\x{03B2}"). But I get some other weird characters (an "I" with a hat symbol, and a exponent "2")

MSDE PROBLEM

I wanted to try out one of those starter kits on the asp.net website, but it told me I had to download MSDN...

So I did....

and when I click on the 'setup.exe' it comes up with a message box that say...

"A strong SA password is required for security reasons.
Please use SAPWD switch to supply the same. Refer to 
readme for more details. Setup will now exit."

I checked the readme, but of course there's nothing there...

What is the solution???

I presume it's referring to the sa account -- an extremely high privilege account. This error message is an attempt to increase security by preventing DBAs from setting sa's password to something crappy.

As it says, you'll have to change the sa account password to something stronger, i.e. with 12 characters, numbers, symbols etc. After that it should be fine.

I wanted to develop web application using VS.NET. But my machine(win2000 pro) didn't have IIS installed, so I uninstalled VS.Net and trying to install IIS and then VS.Net. I don't have the win2000 pro CD, so I'm not able to install IIS from the control panel(add software components).Can someone give me the link to download IIS5.0 ?

Unsure | :~

If you don't have the CD, how did you get Win2K? I don't believe there's any site where you can download base components of Win2K like IIS5.0, but you may be able to work around the problem with the WebMatrix tool from Microsoft. It comes with a mini-server for developing and testing ASP.Net projects, and is freely available from www.asp.net[^].

Redirecting main parent window with JavaScript

Paul Ingles31-Jul-03 6:23

Paul Ingles

31-Jul-03 6:23

I'm trying to get some JavaScript so that a number of pop-ups can figure out the parent that spawned them all, close themselves and re-direct the main parent.

It works as I want (if it's coming from a pop-up then it'll spawn a new window), but, if I click to show the first pop-up, then close the main parent window, and continue through to the page that executes the below code, it throws up an error:

function findWindow()
{
	var currentWnd;
	currentWnd = self;

	while (currentWnd.opener != null  && !currentWnd.opener.closed)
	{
		var oldWnd = currentWnd;
		currentWnd = currentWnd.opener;
		oldWnd.close();
		
	}

	if (!WindowIsPopup(currentWnd))
	{
		currentWnd.document.location.href='http://www.microsoft.com';
	} else {
		// It's a pop-up, so close it and open a new page altogether.
		open('http://www.theregister.co.uk');
		currentWnd.close();
	}
}

Basically, I want to be able to do a check to find out whether I've reached the main parent window, and if it's not open, spawn a new one etc.

If anyone has any suggestions, or has done this kind of thing before I'd appreciate their thoughts.

Thanks,

Give the window a name, eg. var myWin = open(pape, 'MyWindow');. Later, when the main document hasn't changed, you can use the window object to open a new page (if(myWin && !myWin.closed) myWin.localtion.href = 'foo.html';); form a different page, using open with the same name (MyWindow) will load the url into the same window.

What other server besidesIIS can run .NET Web applications and services? I am having problems getting approvals to install IIS. The arguments are IIS is not stable and we need someone to maintain the server.

Perhaps at the moment, .NET framework runs on IIS (Windows 2000 and higher).

Perhaps you can try Halcyonsoft .NET

Deployment Question on C#, ASP.NET Web Application

I am planning to create some Visual C# projects using the ASP.NET Web Application template.

We have an Oracle 9i application server. What other configurations are required except the .NET Framework SDK?

I have to say I'm not familiar with Oracle, but I think ADO.NET will connect to it fine using the stuff in the System.Data.SqlClient namespace. Otherwise, you probably do just need the .NET framework and a server box with IIS on it.

Well, more or less - it's the easiest option, certainly. You can host ASP.NET in Apache on Windows (try some guys called Covalent *). IIS6 on Windows 2003 Server seems pretty good.

* I'm unimpressed with these guys, but only because they're failing to provide a means to remove myself from their mailing lists that works Mad | :mad:

Yes - ASP.NET is a worker process under Windows - as long as the web server handles the requests correctly, it should work fine. Someone wrote an article here on CP about writing a web server with ASP.NET support, but I can't find it.
