well then, like many web developers before us and many developers after us, it sounds to me like it is time to take a hint from a porn site or warez site. I dont know how many you have seen (not that I look at porn all day long or anything), but many of them have some "sticky" tricks which end up making their way into the legitimate side of the Internet. Pop-up ads are the most famous.
The reason I mention this is another trick many of them have been employing for some time now is to open the browser in a fashion that none of the toolbars exist. For a user that dont know better (and dont know keyboard shortcuts), it is near impossible to close these windows. This sounds liek soemthing for you. Of course, you would need to "emulate" the minimize and close buttons, but it will help you do what you need to do.
I would need to hunt down an example, but I thought I would throw the idea at you and see if it interests you.

How can I load a stylesheet depending on the clients resolution. Initially, I know that in the <head> section you should have something like:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="mybase.css"/>
But is it possible to have it so that you can call a function (in an external script, passing in clients size and returning a file name) and using that as a replacement to mybase.css? If so how do I do that?
This is so I can use different backgrounds for different resolutions, so that I do not have multiple copies of the same page

There's a couple different ways of doing this. One is to use CSS expressions, but this is only supported in the later versions of Internet Explorer.
Another way is to use some sort of entry code for each page on your site plus cookies. When a user loads a page (window.onload), gather the information you want, put that in a cookie, and reload the page. If the cookie exists, you don't do this step. (This requires dynamic pages like ASP, ASP.NET, PHP, JTHML, etc.) The server reads the cookie and spits out the appropriate line for the stylesheet in the header (conditional server-side include).
Although, if all you need to do is display a different background, you can do this with the body.background property directly in script.

Is it possible to do something like:
where "myfunction" returns the name of a file. I want to do this so that there is little or no code in the main body. I know "myfunction" will not be in quotes as it it is not a stylesheet. So how would I write this if it was calling a function (and returning a value????
On other thing if I wanted to get the screen width from an external stylesheet, what would I pass in as object, i.e. this or screen, and how is it referenced in external script???
Sorry for all the questions, but I am really new to this

No, you can't evaluate an expression like that. I still recommend you do what I was saying with the one-time cookies. After all, that's why Netscape invented them many, many years ago. Once the cookie exists, your server-side code conditionally includes the right stylesheet (with a fallback in case scripting was disabled or an error occured).
If you are only targeting IE, go to the MSDN Library and then Web Development, then CSS. You could expressions within the stylesheet, but other major browsers like Mozilla don't seem to support this (rightly so, as Microsoft mentions that it's proprietary).
What do you mean, "get the screen width from an external stylesheet"? If you mean get the screen width within the stylesheet in an expression, you just reference the screen object like you would in DHTML. CSS expressions have access to the same DOM that the page does, i.e. they are evaluated in the same manner - all based on the implicit window root object.
If you are new to this stuff, I do suggest that you browse the various "Web Development" sections in the MSDN Library I linked above. There's a lot of good information about CSS, DHTML, and scripting. Not just the IE-specific stuff either, but also the standards. IMO, it's a better reference than most I've seen, including the W3C's web site (they make up the rules about this stuff) that covers everything in-depth in ways that most n00bs wouldn't understand (learn how to crawl before you dance!).

I am trying to use DIV tags and CSS to create the layout of a web page. I want to have the content centered in the page.
I set the text-align of the BODY to center.
I then use a DIV tag and I set the width to 780px.
The problem is that in IE the DIV is centered properly but in Netscape and Opera its align on the left.
In addition I want to set the padding-left style of the DIV to 5px. In IE and Opera it shows ok but in Netscape the background-image of the DIV is messed up.
Any hints?
Thank you!

You can use the following trick to horizontally center a div:
div.my-div-class {
position: absolute;
left: 50%;
width: 780px;
margin-left: -390px;
}The same trick will also work for centering vertically.

Normal method of centering divs horizontally would be to set the left and right margin to auto. Does not work on IE though but the text-align: center covers that for IE.
margin-left:auto;
margin-right:auto;
text-align: center;

Hi,
I'd like to create a webservice with many method and I want to restrict access to them.
For exemple : I've got 3 users : user1 user2 and user3.
and 4 methods : mth1, mth2, mth3 and mth4
I want User1 to access only mth1
I want User2 to access only mth2 and mth 4
I want User3 to access all method
Is it possible or should I need to create a webservice for each case ?
Thx

How often do you use it? Do you find it provides the only solution sometimes or could you implement your code so it didn't use eval()?
Just curious

we have quite a problem here at the moment: Flash Movies are obscuring all the other page content.
That is, the page comprises a javascript menu bar above a Flash map. When the menus drop down, they are always hidden behind the map. z-index makes no difference.
The difference between a pessimist and an optimist is that while the pessimist is always a victim, the optimist is always a target. - Brady Kelly

It's to the best of my understanding that flash is an activeX/com object which is not rendered with normal HTML code, but rather a plugin that sits on top of HTML, so no matter what you do you will not be able to make HTML show on top of FLASH movies....without some serious hacks to yer menu control anyways. But it wouldn't be a very acceptable hack IMHO.

When i try to access the todo list i get this error
Error Type:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers (0x80040E14)
[Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Syntax error (missing operator) in query expression 'IF today() > date_due THEN 'X' ELSE '' ENDIF'.
/todo/default.asp, line 73
i changed jasons code from this
strConnectString = "Provider=MSDASQL;DSN=ToDoLists;UID=dba;PWD=sql"
to this
strConnectString = "Provider=MSDataShape;DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};DBQ=" & server.mappath("todo.mdb") & ";UID=;PWD="
think i got that right? anyway can anyone shed some light on the problem.
Thanks
Rob

hmm ... I am thinking that access doesnt support these functions.
today() is not an access function, try changing today() to date() and see if that helps.

So, if I understand correctly you want the javascript to be executed only if an error occurs on the server?
What server side language are you using?
