We’ll see how to create and use a ColdFusion custom tag that will make it easy for us to display the Firefox download counter.
Long tables that run over more than one page when printed do not display their headers on all printed pages, just the first one. It is possible though, with a few HTML and CSS hacks to get them to display on all printed pages.
Using the cfpop tag to retrieve emails returns the headers as one long text string, which makes it difficult to get specific values. In this article we’ll see first how to get the headers, and then how to work with them to get the name-value pair we want.
XML feeds, though useful, are boring to look at in a browser because they are simple XML files. It’s possible though to make them easier on the eye, and in this article we’ll look at two ways of doing that. First, we’ll use simple CSS properties to format each XML node, and then we’ll use a little more complex but much more powerful XSL transformation.
While it may be relatively easy to create an incrementing and unique identifier inside a table in SQL Server, things get tricky with Oracle. In this article, we’ll see the differences between the two databases and offer a way of solving the problem.
In this article we will first discuss the case for and against using Word as your HTML editor. Then we will see how to properly save a Word file to smaller, more compact HTML files. Third and last, we will see how to do this through code, and possibly create a batch process for converting numerous Word files to HTML at once.
In Part I of this series, we saw how to create a VBScript class to query our database using the very fast GetRows() method, and return a recordset as a local array. In Part II, we extended the class to allow ADDing and UPDATEing a row in the database. In this Part III, we will expand the class further to allow pagination of the returned recordset.
Good site usability often means removing links from one page back to itself. In this article we will look at how to create an ASP.NET User Control which will act as a common header to a site. It will automatically know which page we are looking at, and it will remove links to the same page from itself. For example, on this site, if we click on the About us section of the header, it will take you to the page, and it will make that link inactive. That way, we know that we are under that section, and we can’t click on it anymore.
The Datagrid server control offers much control and flexibility in presenting data. Two of the actions that are hard-wired into it are Paging and Sorting. On their own they work great, but not so well together. When you sort a column and then move to a previous or next page, the sorting preference is not maintained. In this article we will see how to maintain both by using the Viewstate object.
In this article, we will take a closer look at how ASP.NET pages post back to themselves, and how to customize this feature in our web applications.
