I am not so sure that MS has what Bud needs.
Bud wants to prevent resources from being stolen.
The MS solution does NOT support Rights-managed HTML that references external script or behaviors which is part of every decent online contnet site ( see http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/rma/rmh.asp
I suggest that Bud tries a solution called AllRights ( http://www.allrightsdrm.com ) which claims to protect all online resources.
Let me know what you think of the solution

*chuckles* And what exactly would you relationship with AllRights be, Lionel?
The main point of my reply was that DRM doesn't work, period. Not Microsoft's, not AllRights. If you can seen or heard by a human, it can be copied.
All DRM solutions do are make the copying more annoying. In a connected world that doesn't help either, as only one person need copy the original and then that non-DRM digital copy can be passed around freely.
This is not an ethical judgement, it is simply a fact that can't be ignored. I support copyright in principle, but it is impossible to implement technical solutions that enforce copyright of digital works.
Regarding the AllRight product in particular, it's the typical ActiveX control viewer sort of tool. I'm unimpressed. And clearly what it renders can be captured trivially off the screen without giving your ActiveX control a chance to intervene.

There are many ways to have a go at this, such as disabling caching, right-click, etc. Your main problem here, though, is it's not 100% foolproof. Jpeg/HTML etc are not an encrypted format, and as such, the very fact that they must be copied to the client computer means that if the user *really* wants a copy of what's in the browser, they can get it. A savvy user, at absolute worst, can hit the print-screen button to steal your images. Second to that, you're going to have a hard time getting around the fact that you can right-click the system menu icon (top left corner of the browser window) and tell Internet Explorer to save a local copy of the page ("Make Available Offline"). This force-caches the files to the user's temporary internet files folder, where they can then grab a copy of what they want.

I have two web applications, I want that once user login the first application, the user information will be transfered to the second application automatically.
I use session variables to store user information. All that I want are:
1. The second application creates a new session
2. The second application store user information in the session variables
Is it possible to call an ASP page of another application from an ASP page of the current application?
Please help me.

I think that you should be able to call another page as long as you use the full URL...
Dont know how you will deal with security...

I can call another page at client-side but not from server-side. All that I want is calling (or another way) from server-side.
If you know, please show me in details.

I have built an amazingly functional form control for web applications that build their front end using JScript. Basically, it allows you to build a full-featured, completely customisable form with fully configurable validation and error checking. You set up the javascript that is executed when they hit save or cancel, or add your own extra buttons to do what you want when they are pressed. You can have togglable sub-areas that only become visible when a certain field has a certain value in it, for example if a certain checkbox is checked, an extra set of fields becomes visible. The control will generate an xml object containing all of the data in the form and also specify in each node what the data type is (string, date or number). I also have a back end ASP script that you can pass the XML form to and it will automatically update a database table for you if you set up the form correctly. The form code is object-oriented, so you can easily derive your own types of fields to include in a form. I recently created a field object to allow the user to select any Australian suburb.
Take a look at a form I have set up with this control:
http://www.hep10.com/internal/form.gif[^]
If any of you think this would (or wouldn't) be a useful contribution to The Code Project, please let me know before I spend a whole lot of time fixing up the code to be submitted as an article here. I find this extremely useful in rapidly putting together forms in my application as I don't have to write any form validation code, I don't have to create any back end code for processing the form contents, and I can rapidly build large forms with ease. Obviously this would not be useful for someone developing a form the standard way, i.e. with an HTML form tag and a submit button. Although, I suppose you could do some sort of roundabout trick where when they hit "Save" and then form-post the generated xml to the next page? Anyway, your thoughts are welcome.

This one I would question. There would have to be validation on the part of the server to protect it from hacks or plain transmittion errors. You would not want the data to go directly into a database without validation on the server.
On question that comes to mind is how any business logic could be applied if it goes directly to the database?

Hi,
I browse at a internet 'cafe' that keeps things very secure. Here we dont even have the 'command prompt'. We also dont have rights to 'install' new programs.
I was not able to make a ftp connection with my server, that needs user name/password to login.
Is there any way to login to my ftp server through IE itself with the username / password?
Please Help

Best to speak to the network admin at the cafe, they may have turned off various explorer functions, such as Paste.
Im sure if your a regular they will install an FTP client and open the relevant ports for you.

Hi,
I need to do the following from a web page automatically
1) Create and save a local (eg. on the C drive) text file that will contain data that is on the current page.
2) Open that file up by calling shellexec. Because the file will have a .~la extension, my other program will then be able to open this up and use the data.
I'm in a .Net environment, so any suggestions of of to use Scripting, ASP.Net, C#, VB.Net to accomplish to would be appreciated
Thanks,
- Jim

Check out the .NET Class:
System.IO.File
This can create/delete files.
Theres a directory one too:
System.IO.Directory
If you are on a web platform (i.e ASP.NET) you will need to make sure that you have the relevant priviliges for the ASP.NET user account on the directory.
The System.IO.File class is relevant to all .NET languages.

Hello my friends,
I am trying to make a drop down list on a web page to look excactly like the one that is on MS Word on the toolbar that is used to select a font or font size.

are you looking for the border attribute?
border: 1px solid #9999CC;
or
border-width: 1px;
border-style: solid;
border-color: purple;
or
border-width: 8px 2px 8px 2px; /* top right bottom left */
border-style: dotted dashed solid groove;
border-color: red yellow blue green;

Yup, I am aware of this style.
But it doesnt have any effect when you apply it on the SELECT tag.
I think that there is no styke that changes the SELECT tag...
Thank you.
