Active does not mean that style should be applied to a link when you are on that page. It should but I have never seen a browser do it reliably.
When you click the link and the browser is navigating to the new page, that is when most browsers apply the Active style.
You need to do your own "current page" link implementation.

Is there any other scripting that can help this?

Most the time you really don't need to worry. It is only for main navigation that you want to indicate which page/section the user is currently in.
Generally you would have your normal nav link styles and then one called current.
Then on each page you would apply that style to the nav element e.g. a href="blah.html" class="current".
You can of course automate this in your backend code or even via JavaScript.

Actually, they apply it any time the link has focus, which includes when you click on it.

Try also defining the A class
A

color:red;
}
Should work.

I'm not sure if the width attribute of a table used in this case is standard or not:
I always use:
I think the second use is standard and can be supported by many browsers in diffrent versions, the first is not.
Please explain me. Thanks.

What browsers do you want to support? Anything after Netscape 3.0 and IE3.0 will support style="width:100%" relatively well.
You want to avoid putting style in your HTML document anyway. Rather use an external CSS file.

It wouldn't be very practical to run Windows XP as a server in a production environment. The IIS service will limit the number of concurrent users can connect to you site as an example. You might consider getting Windows 2003 Server instead though.

I also thought so.

May be thats a choice for me... in later stages (say after 6-7 months or so). Right now... I feel I need a change.. It will be either windows 2000 Server/Adv Server.

Thanks for the reply.
 But my development needs microsoft technologies..., So I would prefer to stick to Win 2K Server/Adv Server.
Thanks.

Hey
We are about to make an online game, the game will have alot of calculations to do, but it will be a simple 2D game over the Web.
somthing like Fotboll manager and so on.
I have got rekomendations to use C.net(user have to download a software) or applets.
Is Java the only language that have applets? or do C.net have it to? and if, where could i find info about this subject?
What do you think? how shold we make our online game? what is the negativ and postive regarding applets or C.net code?
I understand that I will get more power out of C.net(in a download software version) and that the server dont need to be vary fast, but it will be easier to cheat, am i not right?
Best regards
Snowman
PS sorry for the bad english

You could use ActiveX which is like a Java Applet, only MS.
How about Flash or Shockwave though? Many games out there written in it.

I would agree  Thats prolly the best solution, seeing how writting an even trivial ActiveX control is not all that easy to accomplish. Besides Flash is so...Flashy and full of life and sound already. Why even try to re-invent the wheel on that one.

I have created a toolbar using C# . Now i need to deploy it over the web . I need to use the method of deployment using cab files . I created the cab file and signed it using the "signcode" utility in .net
with a test certificate i created using "makecert" .
next when i create a html file and reference the cab file using the codebase attribute as below
<object codebase="filename{CLSID" }="">
The format for the above has been properly maintained . Next when i place the html file as well as the cab file in the same directory in my system and open the html in the browser , a warning message is displayed saying i am not using a properly certified product and if i want to continue with the
installation . ?If i say yes then the status bar waits for some time and then zooms to finish saying done without showing the file copy progress bar and without installaing the product . Where could the fault have occured . Is it a problem with the inf file . Please help me out . What are the necessary precautions i need to take for a successful installation .

You will probably get better results posting this question in the C++ forum

Hi,
I'm trying to rewrite this site of mine using CSS instead of tables for tha layout. I'm trying to start off with the top lighter-green header bar. Here is my test site.
And here is some of the CSS in question:
#headerL {
background: #99ff99;
float: left;
padding: 0px;
font-weight: bold;
}
#headerR {
text-align: right;
background: #99ffCC;
margin: 0;
padding: 5px;
font-weight: normal;
}
Does anyone know why the first line in the text example does not align:right in IE5 like it should? I've tried it the opposite way, floating the right-hand side instead, and it will still align the text the wrong way. Either way works fine in Mozilla. Any ideas?

I don't know what you're seeing, but I get a right-aligned header in IE6. There are three lines, all right-aligned: ...foo foo \n Next \n next. Given the source lines:
<a href="http://www.theshroom.com">theshroom.com</a> - Blitzen foo foo <br>Next</br>next
that's exactly what I'd expect to see. A question, though - was it your intent to nest a <DIV> inside a <DIV>?
[EDIT]
Oops - forgot to check the 'Do not treat <'s as HTML tags' checkbox the first time
