How to create XML Web Service automatically on IIS6.0 - Web Development Discussion Boards

Hi.

Is there a way to increase the time the acronym popup-text is shown, when a user places the mouse pointer over a label with acronym-tagg? I imagine there may be a setting in the webbrowser controlling this, but I have not found where I can increase the time. Ideally I would want to set this in the html-code but that does not seem possible.

Thanks

I think that this is a system setting (info box) that could possibly be tweaked through the registry or something like that ... otherwise you could use something like this:

http://webfx.eae.net/dhtml/tooltip/tooltip.html

or this

to control the delay time ...

Thanks for the tip. Is there a way I can control the display order? Now the tooltip-box is displayed under dropplists (<select></select) and half the text is hidden.

Thanks

The solution was already implemented in the javascript stuff.

Zero-length string

Hello.

I've just finished installing an ASP fan fiction system and changed ONLY what the install file told me to do which is change the server settings and Access 2000 etc.

BUT now I have a problem:

Everytime I want to add something, it either doesn't show (like news and author) OR I get this error:

____________________________________________
Microsoft JET Database Engine error '80040e21'

Field 'Categories.CategoryName' cannot be a zero-length string.

/moonbrat/addcats.asp, line 60
_____________________________________________

the thing is, the obj.open only has str or something which is meant to read to the config file...it's very frustrating for me and I'm not sure how to fix it...

I really need help!

Confused | :confused:

Let's have a look at addcats.asp. I'm guessing that you're seeing this after using the AddNew() method, and in the table 'Categories' you have the field 'CategoryName' set with the property that disallows a 0-length string. AddNew() creates a blank record which might be firing this error if your recordset type is Dynaset. Post a bit of your code here for a better look.

Here's the entire Asp code (the rest was to generate the html so I left that out).

________________________________________________________

<title>Add a Category

<% If Request.QueryString("mode") = "doit" Then

If Trim(Request.Form("CategoryName")) = "" Then

Response.Write("

You didn't fill out one or more required fields. Use Back-Button of Browser to correct it or click here!

")

Else Set objConn Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
Set objRs = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
objConn.Open strConn
objRs.Open "SELECT * FROM Categories", objConn, 3, 3

objRs.AddNew
objRs("CategoryName") = Trim(Request.Form("SubName"))
objRs.Update
objRs.Close
objConn.Close
Set objRs = Nothing
Set objConn = Nothing

Response.Write("

Sub successfully added. Click to continue!

")
End If

End If

%>

____________________________________________________________

Sorry if it looks a mess but it looks better in the edit screen I use for the file as everything is connected.

Anyways, I have the add problem with EVERY script.
I can login but nothing else wants to do anything, like add authors, add news, add categories and add subcategories.

It's annoying me so much!

Thanks for looking at it...I hope you can find the problem where I can't.
At least if it's found in this script I can compare it to the rest of them.

Thanks.

What's going on here? Your script doesn't define or test SubName. Perhaps you should use:

objRs("CategoryName") = Trim(Request.Form("CategoryName"))

Is there an object in the DOM that accesses the Chache of the browser? I would like to do a bookmarklet (www.bookmarklets.com[^]) to clear the cache with one click and not to walk throgh the Dialogs.
I search this possibility especially for mozilla, as I use it at Home.

Trim$() in javascript

Hi all
How to trim a string in javascript (remove spaces at beggining and end of a string)
I need a function like Trim$() in vbScript
thank you.

Re: Trim$() in javascript

Roger Wright1-Feb-04 3:55

According to this handy JavaScript - The Definitive Guide book on my shelf, there is no such function. But it shouldn't be too difficult to write a function for this. Find the length of the string, then search character by character from the beginning and from the end of the string for the first non-space character position. Using two searches, rather than one forward search, allows you to preserve any contained spaces in the target string. Use the two positions as the indices for a call to string.substring(from, to+1) and return the result. Note the to+1 value for the second parameter. The .substring method returns characters up to the position before the the second index for some strange reason.

If you use this in more than a couple of pages in your project, stuff it in a SSI file and include it where you need it. Most of my projects have a util.asp file where miscellaneous workarounds live - someday I may even consolidate them into one generic include. Smile | :)

Try this:

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript">
<!--
function trim(s) {
  while (s.substring(0,1) == ' ') {
    s = s.substring(1,s.length);
  }
  while (s.substring(s.length-1,s.length) == ' ') {
    s = s.substring(0,s.length-1);
  }
  return s;
}
//-->
</script>

thank you all for the responses Smile | :)

I found this code is a site :

function Trim(sString)
{
	var sReturnValue = sString.replace(/^\s+/,"").replace(/\s+$/,"");
	return sReturnValue;
}

It works fine.

It's cooler (if you care about such things) to do this:

<br />
String.prototype.trim = function() {<br />
  return this.replace(/^\s+/,"").replace(/\s+$/,"");<br />
}<br />
<br />
alert(" foobar   ".trim());<br />

Cross domain DOM access for parent.frames[0].location.href

Phil G31-Jan-04 2:28

Phil G

31-Jan-04 2:28

Am I correct in assuming that it's not possible to read the location.href of another frame in the same browser? Many people have mentioned workarounds to this problem with Netscape Navigator using something like:

netscape.security.PrivilegeManager.enablePrivilege("UniversalBrowserRead");

But I don't see an equivalent for IE. I admitted defeat as I was pressed for time, but if anyone has a good explanation of this, and any potential work arounds I'd appreciate it.

Thanks,

I believe as long as each frame has been given a name you should probably be able to manipulate the DOM.

For example I have an IFRAMEand inside my IFRAME I reference a element inside the parent document using (if I remember corretly)

window.parent.document.getElementById(test').innerHTML = 'test'

I have this code inside an anchor tag in the IFRAME document and when it's clicked a DIV's innerHTML is replaced. the DIV is in the parent document, not the IFRAME.

So I imagine if I can do this, you can do something like

window.parent.location.href
