This works if I run it in a regular .asp page, but for some reason the .asa doesn't like it. Strange thing is I don't get any error message at all. It just goes through the script and finishes with no complaints, writes the filename of the attachment to the DB, but the file is not saved... cant figure this one out. Please help!

Rather, it's more likely that the Flash client application (which the client choses to install) is reading an accessible system property available via the Windows API. But, to answer your question, you entered a trust-based relationship with Macromedia when you installed the Flash player on your machine. Since it's installed it feasibly has 100% access to your machine. Since no software is completely bug proof then it would follow that there probably is an exploit somewhere that allows a malicious developer to access your machine's sensitive information. The question is if the exploit has been discovered yet. :-) But, this goes with *any* software you install, including IE, Norton Antivirus, Mozilla, etc. <><><><><><><><><><> Joshua Olson Web Application Engineer WAE Tech Inc. http://www.waetech.com 706.210.0168 From Tab.Alleman at MetroGuide.com Mon Nov 17 08:45:26 2003 From: Tab.Alleman at MetroGuide.com (Tab Alleman) Date: Mon, 17 Nov 2003 09:45:26 -0500 Subject: [thelist] JS: onSubmit function seems to reset Select input?

Additionally, all the HTML formatting and organization of data is lost. I know that by default, as a web developer, you should always design for plain text e-mail correspondence for this exact reason. What I'd like to do is keep my HTML formatted e-mail's for those people who can view those types of e-mails, but also be able to improve the plain text version as well. What would you do? I'm leaning towards my intuition and making a duplicate plain text version of this e-mail. But is there anyway to detect the recipients e-mail receiving preference (HTML or Plain Text)? Then if it's Plain Text, present a caveat that non-Latin characters will be lost.

I have always updated web pages dynamically via what is known as 'hidden CGI' using an IFRAME. I also update the server this way (with new data) without changing the web page. I understand that Remote Scripting can make this process smoother and perhaps more automated and transparent to the user. I also understand that it is inherently ASP-based. I am working on an IE6-only site and a Windows server so MS issues should not present any problems. Can anyone confirm or deny the above and either way, can anyone point me in the direction of a good introduction (a URL) to this technology?

Siri, Another technique is to avoid the XMLHTTP object altogether and pull in the data by setting the src attribute on the IFRAME via JavaScript. A nice benefit to calling the page by setting the src attribute is that any JavaSrcipt within the frame will execute if wrapped in script blocks. I'll post an example later on a technique to using IFRAMES that has worked very well for me. <><><><><><><><><><> Joshua Olson Web Application Engineer WAE Tech Inc. http://www.waetech.com 706.210.0168 From pixelmech at yahoo.com Mon Nov 17 15:34:37 2003 From: pixelmech at yahoo.com (Tom Dell'Aringa) Date: Mon, 17 Nov 2003 13:34:37 -0800 (PST) Subject: [thelist] cross-browser way to remove/replace node?

Old habit I guess. It's worked without issue until I installed the patch. I noticed this problem when I created a datasource in CF and when using a connection string via ASP. Given that the patch supposedly fixed a hole in the Data Access Components I feel pretty comfortable saying that this problem was directly caused by the patch install. <><><><><><><><><><> Joshua Olson Web Application Engineer WAE Tech Inc. http://www.waetech.com 706.210.0168 From paul at teltest.com Mon Nov 17 21:22:49 2003 From: paul at teltest.com (Paul Bennett) Date: Tue, 18 Nov 2003 16:22:49 +1300 Subject: [thelist] robots.txt In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <3FB99089.7040104@teltest.com> Jeff Howden wrote: >bots don't do anything different than a browser. they issue a get request >to specific address. > >if it were somehow possible to view the server-side logic of a cgi script, >asp page, coldfusion template, etc, we'd all have much bigger problems than >spam. > >.jeff > > > like terrifying, recurring nightmares...... Ensure that you have some kind of error reporting built into your applications, not only for development, but also for testing and security reporting. Log failed queries, incoming data that is malformed, failed login attempts and anything else that you think would be of note if you had to come back in a few months and debug any unusual / suspicious activity. Also be sure to have some kind of event log so you can track who has performed what actions (like changing content).

I have a page that pulls data from a database and displays it using a Repeater control. This works. Where I'm running into trouble is trying to conditionally modify what shows up on the page based on what comes out of the database. Here's what I have:

<%# Convert.ToString(DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "title")) %>: <%# Convert.ToString(DataBinder.Eval(Container.DataItem, "subtitle")) %>

The thing is that the "subtitle" doesn't necessarily exist (it can be NULL) -- if it doesn't exist, what prints now is: "Title: " Obviously, this doesn't work -- what I need to do is test if "subtitle" exists, and print "Title: Subtitle" if it does and just "Title" if it doesn't. I'm pretty sure I could work this out using some old-fashioned procedural code, but I'm trying to do this the right way :-). I've found some examples describing how to do something similar with a DataGrid, but I haven't been able to extrapolate this to work with a Repeater. I'm pretty sure I need to use "OnItemDataBound," but the syntax has me stumped. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I developed an e-commerce site using php. I tested it first on my pc (with Apache 1.3.20 and PHP 4.0.6 installed) and everything went fine. Afterwards I migrated the site to our webserver (with Apache 1.3.23 and PHP 4.1.2 installed). But then the problem started. A have a page (register.php) that I use quite regularly as an include file throughout the site. To avoid that I had to hard code all the links to which the formfield variables are sent, I thought of the following solution: $submitpage = $_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME']; Afterwards I use the variable $submitpage as follows: PRINT "
"; On my pc this works fine. Say for instance the page register.php is included in the page cart.php then the value of $submitpage is cart.php, on the other hand on the webserver the variable has the following value: /home/www/www.studiogrfx.be/htdocs/store/cart.php. In other words it exposes the full path to the page. Clearly everything goes wrong from this point. Because of this I was pretty sure that the problem had something to do with a configuration option in php.ini. I compared both php.ini files but I can't seem to find where the problem lies. Does anybody know where I have to look for?

Hi Tim If it's an open list, make sure that the list software handles bounces (expired email addresses) automatically, and that Spam, formatted email, attachments and admin requests (test, unsubscribe etc.) to the list are filtered out. Otherwise you might end up in really heavy redundant work. Consider using a hosting service that offers mailing list packages with mailman, for instance Pair.Com .

That's what a cert from a "trusted authority" gives you. Whether you need that for your particular site depends on what type of customers you have.

Jeff, Also, you can install the certificates on the server that provide the return path back to the root authority. So, even if you install a certificate from a lesser known vendor and the browser throws a warning, you should be able to install the vendor's certificate at the server and the warning will stop. Here's an example of a vendor who has instructions correcting the issue of the warning: http://www.instantssl.com/ssl-certificate-support/cert_installation/ssl-certificate-index.html <><><><><><><><><><> Joshua Olson Web Application Engineer WAE Tech Inc. http://www.waetech.com 706.210.0168 From koksa.uh at seznam.cz Wed Nov 19 02:06:03 2003 From: koksa.uh at seznam.cz (Tomas Kokoska) Date: Wed, 19 Nov 2003 09:06:03 +0100 Subject: [thelist] JS or IE6: refresh prompt References: Message-ID: <002901c3ae73$fa102520$ca09000a@kukulin> Try to do it this way (I do): on the Page 1 append a new form with hidden inputs with names and values necessary for this page.

Back in 2001, Microsoft threatened the world with its SmartTags technology, scheduled for XP, that would read webpages and add custom links where it estimated convenient. Uproar ensued, and SmartTags were dismissed.

Move your cursor over the underline. A little box pops-up. Click it to get options (including adding the event to your Outlook Caledar). Basically SmartTags are a way of embedding options/information into documents (and webpages), that allow other users of Office (and IE) to get this additional information. Obviously this of most use in an internal/intranet type scenario.

I gave that code a try and found that it worked like a charm in Mozilla, but didn't work in IE. I either got a system error or I got an error that said "Automation server can't create object". I looked on Microsoft's site and their example code used this object: "WinHttp.WinHttpRequest.5" instead of "Microsoft.XMLHTTP". That's the one that gave the automation server error. Wondering if it matters what server you use? Must I use a Microsoft server? I was using Apache tomcat to try this since that was handiest at the time. Also, I poked around a bit and found some code on my local machine that uses the "Microsoft.XMLDOM" ActiveXObject, and this one works without a server, but you have to traverse the DOM, which can be kind of a pain if you don't know what it will be in advance.

I guess as good a starting point as any is: - RDF: - SOAP: You can also, depending on your needs, look into several popular feed formats: RSS, FOAF, etc. But eventually you'll see one or two links that go back to either the sources listed above or FWIW you'll learn that /per se/ feeds are not secure. They're only xml files put on a server, so you've got to figure a way to serve them only if the right 'tokens' are sent. Maybe you could restrict access to an xml file by relying on the requester's IP, or something. I went to a conference on SOAP a few months ago and they said that the biggest problem at the moment is exactly that: how do you prevent people from accessing the feeds, since they've got to be online, somehow. Since no one in the conference mentioned IP-checking, I guess this solution is not *the* solution. What's your idea?

I like phpBugtracker - it's an easy install, has a decent but not overly complex feature set and basically does what you need a bug tracker to do. http://phpbt.sourceforge.net/ From evolt at funkwit.com Wed Nov 19 17:12:22 2003 From: evolt at funkwit.com (Paul Cowan) Date: Thu, 20 Nov 2003 10:12:22 +1100 Subject: [thelist] Bug Tracking S/W In-Reply-To: <3fbbd198$1@127.0.0.1> References: <3fbbd198$1@127.0.0.1> Message-ID: <1099677803.1069323142@[192.168.2.62]> --On Wednesday, 19 November 2003 1:22 -0600 "Brian W.

XML is just text, you can deliver it in the same way as any other text. > I have seen a lot about RSS feeds but didn't know how they are created Typically they are generated by the content management system running the site. Some people write them by hand. might help. RSS feeds are typically accessed by the user running a client that polls the server periodically looking for an updated feed file. You could have your client perform such a poll over https with a username and password if you want security. > I also seem to have a problem viewing xml files in IE6, everytime I > attempted to open an xml page RealOne would burst into life (until I > uninstalled it!), and I would be prompted to save an SMI file. So > what's all that about ??!! Probably SMIL , IIRC RealOne can handle it and probably stole all XML formats as a result. Delivering raw XML to the browser is rarely a good idea, it should usually be transformed in to a different format first. I've been doing some work on content negotiation with various XML feeds (And MSIE is driving me up the wall because of it), given the amount of things I want to do its likely to be some time before anything useful comes to light on that subject from me though. -- David Dorward http://dorward.me.uk/ From j.dobson at find-a-part.com Thu Nov 20 05:29:14 2003 From: j.dobson at find-a-part.com (John Dobson) Date: Thu, 20 Nov 2003 11:29:14 -0000 Subject: [thelist] XML SMI RSS: TLA huh?

Easy to > set up and use. I've used both Bugzilla and Mantis. With Bugzilla if you aren't root on the server, or best friends with the server admin, and pretty good at perl, don't think it'll be easy. The last time I set up Bugzilla (earlier this year) it took the better part of a day. It's definitely not a shared-hosting solution. Mantis on the other hand was a very quick and easy install, it's written in PHP. Bugzilla is a good product, it's just a bit of a pain to get up and running. It's probably a good choice if you specifically needs it's features. On the other hand though, if you want an easy to set up and easy to use system, check out Mantis.

Be sure to test your XSL parser so you know how it writes character entities. For example, one version of the MSXML parser will write &nbsp; as   in the output, and another will write it as &nbsp;, which means you'd need to actually write it as   to get it show properly. Pay attention to this for symbols like copyright or trademark, as they may display correctly in the browser, but may not be the encoded character in the HTML.

I copied your code verbatim, ppk, just to confirm, but it indeed does not do what I want. If you look at a web page in a browser and I point out to you a certain element, perhaps a button, you could then tell me by looking (or measuring with a measuring tape) how many inches there are from that item to the bottom of the browser window. If you now scroll the window, that button will move closer or farther from the bottom of the window and that figure will change. http://www.merlinsworld.net/dynapi_ri_dcexamples/dc_sposit_exmpl_4.shtml The above page keeps the Simulated Watermark always 5 pixels (or so) from the bottom of the browser. I want to know for any given object, how many pixels it is from the bottom of the browser.

Do you check your site statistics using a tool in your control panel? If so, what's probably happening is that other bloggers are checking their own stats, seeing a link from YOUR stats to their site and following the link back to your control panel where they realise that it's a password protected tool and surf off somewhere else. If this is the case, the referrals coming in to your control panel should be from sites that you have received referrals from recently and checked out by clicking a link in your own admin panel.

I can recommend http://www.spenix.com (been hosting with them ever since I got my domain name). Matt is a great guy ... quick prompt responses, and nothing bad to report. They have a had a few freak accidents (like a fire) -- but I never noticed any downtime. I've had a few support requests (install a PERL module, and something about spamassasin), and they took care of both promptly. The packages have changed a bit since I first signed up with them, but their service is great. .htaccess is allowed, and they use cpanel (which is easy to use). Here are their version numbers : Apache : 1.3.29 PERL : 5.8.0 MySQL : 4.0.15-standard PHP : 4.3.4 You can also try posting a request with your requirement at places like WHT ( http://www.webhostingtalk.com ) but you'll have to take the responses with a grain of salt.

It works very well. But the browser it works the worst in is IE (5.2, 6, Mac, PC). The behavior that I see is that if the content in my narrower left-column is too wide, the left-column content pops down to the bottom of the page. It also happens if the content in the wider right-column is too wide. Instead of scrolling horizontally like the other browsers do, the left column just pops down to the bottom. In other browsers, if the content is too wide, it just overflows the edges. I prefer this behavior. Since I notice this on both Windows and Macintosh, is this something IE just does? Or is there a way to fix it? Can you point me to a link?

Make sure you account for the borders in your calculations. Since you said everything added up to 97%, I'm guessing you didn't account for the 6 pixels that the borders will stretch the design. Your best bet is to doubly embed the divs... Set up your borderless, paddingless, and marginless div's with the widths you want. Then within each one place a div that has no defined width but does define the padding, margin, and border. You can use any units (pixels, ems, %) you want since you'll not be specifying a width. If you do this (and I mentioned this before when you first posted this issue) your problems will be lessened if not eliminated. <><><><><><><><><><> Joshua Olson Web Application Engineer WAE Tech Inc. http://www.waetech.com 706.210.0168 From psm2713 at hotmail.com Thu Nov 20 23:14:21 2003 From: psm2713 at hotmail.com (Ken Moore) Date: Thu, 20 Nov 2003 22:14:21 -0700 Subject: [thelist] Hi Jackers Message-ID: Hi all, I know that this was covered recently but there is a web site that has hi jacked my home page.

Other ways that are common include installing software (such as ActiveX controls). For example, installing Kazaa (which is a popular file sharing app) also results in various bits of spyware etc being installed on your machine. If you install an application, you really have no definitive way of knowing all the changes that it'll make to your system. You have to rely on the word of the vendor.

You page has a margin of 20% leaving 80% for the choctaw div to use. Now Gecko based browsers, Opera 7.2 and IE6 calculate the width of the floats from the width of their containing block (choctaw div, 29% of 80%...). Good old IE 5x however calculates the width of the floats from the width of the viewport and therefore use 120% of the viewport before you even start applying padding, margins etc. Bump, down goes your right float. Time to apply some IE5 box model hacks [1] to feed smaller widths to those pesky IE5 browsers.

If the usual adware and spyware cleanser apps don't work, you might try this: http://www.spywareinfo.com/downloads/bhod/ it will root out all the "browser helpers" installed on your system and allow you to identify and disable them. Once you've id'd any that you don't recognize a quick google will probably turn up a specific removal tool.

If you want bitmap digital quality then I'd suggest multimedia builder, which, while feature rich, can be used at a very simplistic level.

I was looking for an older version of my site contactjuggling.org, but was told that the site was not archived because I had a fully exclusive robots.txt. I then removed that file (only yesterday...), and suddenly, the archive had files back to 2000! I wonder if they actually respect the robots.txt, or ignore it "just in case" the site becomes publicly searchable...

Hi Jeff, Sorry I wasn't all that clear. The form does SUBMIT, my method just doesn't fire. But the SUBMIT button does fire my method. So, I need to know how to grab the event via the RETURN key as well. Thanks Walter PS Jeff: what do you want to do about the EXE issue?

Walter, I often find that when Moz/NS does not seem to be doing what it should in regards to JavaScript actions (and this may qualify) that opening the JavaScript console usually reveals that somewhere the JS is throwing an error. Type in "javascript:" into the address bar to open the console. <><><><><><><><><><> Joshua Olson Web Application Engineer WAE Tech Inc. http://www.waetech.com 706.210.0168 From dunstan at 1976design.com Fri Nov 21 15:54:17 2003 From: dunstan at 1976design.com (Dunstan Orchard) Date: Fri, 21 Nov 2003 21:54:17 +0000 Subject: [thelist] Nice titles needs checking in Safari Message-ID: <3FBE8989.8060907@1976design.com> Hi there, I've just added a revamped version of Nice Titles to my site, and thought all was well.

I've tried a great number of things, but the problem seems to be that the info is passed from the form as the "wrong" ASCII number. Does this require a JavaScript to convert the high-ASCII characters to their actual high-ASCII values, before they are passed to the server? I'm using Cold Fusion, though I'm not convinced that it matters what I'm using. I have the same issue with a form in Flash which calls a CFMAIL tag, but I haven't tried as many solutions with that just yet. Thoughts?

I didn't see anything on the Kobian site to suggest this. If your fan is noisy - check the mounts or replace it. A noisy fan is either hiting wires or vibrating because it's loose, or the bearings are going. --- Anthony Baratta President Keyboard Jockeys "Conformity is the refuge of the unimaginative."

Is this right? If the server's mime type is still text/html, then Mozilla will use that since the server setting gets priority over the META tag. IE will not care what you serve as either way: it will deduce the file is HTML by examining the content, and just render it as HTML.

Currently it works with all browsers except Mac IE5 on OS9. I know this browser is the pickiest of the lot, but the html code that I am populating the popup with is braindead simple. The problem I am having is that nested tables display incorrectly on Mac IE5 when they are in a DIV. When I have a nested table in a DIV IE5 breaks the table into its constituant tables, but displays them vertically stacked on top of each other. The result is a table that is the correct width, but is multiple "table-heights" in height. Setting the bgcolors allows one to see each table separately in all its erroneous glory. Nested tables in a DIV also cause all of the text to be smashed to the bottom of the DIV, but only in Mac IE5. I've posted a simple page with very clean code that shows the error: http://www.acatysmoof.com/posting/problems/macIE5divs/index.htm Can anyone help? Thanks, Alex P.S.- I'm not subscribed, please forward responses to my email. Thanks!

CSS selectors (the stuff like "div.blogbody img") are in my opinion the most undervalued part of CSS - if you learn how to use them properly you can greatly reduce the amount of markup you need in your document to allow you to effectively hook in CSS. Just as an example, the following:

hi there...

another paragraph

and another

and another

and another...

Can be replaced by:

hi there...

another paragraph

and another

and another

and another...

That's the power of rule based design. Selectors aren't actually that complicated once you get the hang of them - you might find my CSS selector tutorial useful: http://simon.incutio.com/archive/2003/05/18/anatomyOfAStylesheet From jcbullas at nildram.co.uk Sun Nov 23 16:37:39 2003 From: jcbullas at nildram.co.uk (John C Bullas) Date: Sun, 23 Nov 2003 22:37:39 +0000 Subject: [thelist] Still getting hujacked In-Reply-To: References: Message-ID: <6.0.0.22.0.20031123223709.02452ef0@pop3.nildram.co.uk> > >Thanks all. > >The free version seems to have done it but I am still going to buy the >other one.

I altered it to suit the style of my site, and to work horizontally instead of vertically. 2. Now users with JavaScript disabled can access the menus (but without the dropdown effects). 3. I removed as many of the CSS class and ID tags as I could from the HTML, and instead used more precise CSS selectors to control the style. 4. The menus are activated with an onmouseover instead of an onclick, and will disappear of you move the mouse out of the submenus. 5. I made a for loop that initialises the script instead of several initializeMenu calls that needed to match the menu list. Here's my version: http://hartshorne.ca/homesystems/template.html http://hartshorne.ca/homesystems/menu/menu.css http://hartshorne.ca/homesystems/menu/menu.js Does anyone have any comments about the code? I'm especially interested in the "correctness" of the JavaScript and CSS implementations. Also, does it work in your browser? There are some positioning issues that I haven't worked out in IE 5 Mac/PC, but they are minor and I don't want to add any more JavaScript code (especially detect code) than is necessary to make these work.

One of the page is for monthly tips which she wants to update herself and another one is to change the name of the pdf file and the link reference. Which is the best way to do it? Do I need to create database? I am familiar with PHP/MySQL or is there a simpler way. Thanks in advance.
