Sorry, John, but that can't be controlled in IE or other browsers - only if
you created your own browser using the web control engine OCX.

This has to be done on the server side using ASP or perl. You can't do it
from the client-side.

Perl, eeeewww. It can be done with any server-side solution: shell
scripts, c/c++, isapi, etc.

Have a look at Java - specially the java.io class
That should do the trick for you although writing a java applet is not as straight foward as ASP.

Yes Pix, Perl is "yucky" ... but for most mid-level web people, Perl and/or
ASP is a lot more practical/possible than ISAPI and/or C++. ;)

Fernando,
This is quite easy:

window.open ( url,windowname,"top=100,left=100,width=400,height=200")

You might find it helpful to search the archives when you have questions,
this is certainly answered often. It is much quicker for you if you don't
have to wait until someone responds.... The archive address, and faq which
is also full of good info, is at the bottom of every mail you receive from
this list.

You don't mean this. You mean:

I haven't got time to check it out exactly, but it looks like a syntax
prob.

the syntax is :
if (Expr) { code } else { code }

I think you are missing the curly brackets by 'else'.

Please don't try this without listening to other people's suggestions first

NS3 doesn't support CSS in any shape or form. Do a document.write for
everything BUT Netscape 3 that uses the style sheet (this will avoid
Netscape trying to download the CSS file, I think?). 

[More ...]

I know NS3 doesn't support CSS. But how do I use formatting then, with won't effect the pages if they are being viewed with another browser that supports CSS.

If I use formatting tags like <p font="arial"> then this setting overwrites my CSS. So there would be no point in using CSS if I had to hard-code formatting into my pages. 

[More ...]

I've never seen that syntax before (<p font="arial">).

Use the following syntax in your .css file:

.classname { font-family:arial }

Then use <p class="classname"><font face="arial">This is arial font in all
browsers that support style sheets and/or font face</font></p>

Your font tag should not override the class definition.

Yes but remember if you have tables NN3 requires a <font> tag within each
<td> of a table, otherwise the tables will revert to default font. Also,
NN4 seems to "forget" the font tags after a few paragraphs, I've found in
the past I've had to "remind" it every few lines what font it's supposed to
be in, in order to maintain a consistent font.

not really on the one font tag, because for some reason, it dosen't always

is. What you can do, is use some client detection, and document.write

It just came to me this may be possible inside event bubbling and
maybe you can do a cancelbubble on the right mouse click at the document
level(unlike the reserved keys like F1,F3,F5) I've not had any time to
test yet. I assume this would get around the problem if cancelbubble did
not work by forcing the popup menu to disappear(but mabye not).

I am not sure it can Tom. There used to be a mousedown event on some
objects - and that returned the status of the shift keys, which mouse
button, and the x and y position of the cursor - but noclick doesn't seem to
provide parameters... You could see if mousedown is still supported in the
dhtml object model. 

[More ...]

Here is a snippet from the object model for ie4:
notice onmousedown says it is only triggered when the left button is
clicked -but every mouse event has a button and x and y property...
I wonder if they disabled the right click trapping because they didn't want
to confuse users by having the standard ie rightclick menu disabled....

I just saw this last note about the right clicks not working. I just
tried it on my other page and nothing happens on the rightclick except the
popup menu shows and has focus(so no event fires on the browser that I can
respond to). I think your right about any documented events that are
exposed!

Hello,

This seems to work well for me:

Var_Name will then contain the value of whatever your user/client has

Hi Deepak -

There is a long winded way then there is the simple way as follows that sets

onchange="javascript:Newmeth=this.value" size="1">

<option value="6">6=Hatch Backward Diagonal </option>

This is kind of ironic... the _perfect_ unique filtering method is to
leave the two mailing lists as seperate lists.

Steve et al.,

I agree -- merging the 2 lists will create more confusion than anything.
One of the main reasons I find the ASP mailing list overwhelming is that
its trying to answer ASP, Script, SQL, NTS, PWS, IIS, ADO questions all
at the same time; just because you can access those things via ASP.

subject line, it'll be [IE-HTML].

There are two problems with putting tags in the Subject line to distinguish
HTML from scripting questions. First is that it depends on people putting
this in the subject line when they post a message. Based on my experience,
a large portion of the members won't do this. Second is that most members
don't really see a distinction

Number of Posts in my personal Archieves indicates:

While there are fewer HTML only questions on the Scripting list there are
quite a few Scripting questions on the IE-HTML list, many times the help an

top.client.topleft.document.frmlist.fnum.selectedIndex should work.

Netscape is a little stricter about objects - the form is part of the
document.object, so you need to access your form item:

top.client.TOPLEFT.document.frmLIST.FNUM.selectedIndex = 0

and this will work in IE too - it is just that IE is a little more forgiving
with some objects.

the control/form (or is it the other way around?) and switching the order

And a pretty useless one for Internet Mail since it is certainly not an
Internet standard in any terms of the word. If you have any personal or
business information which you need to add to every email you send then
why not put it in your signature instead. At least that way people with
non outlook mailers will see it as well.

I believe NS3 and IE3.xx only supports setting focus to a displayable form
element not to a window/frame/document

such as document in a frame named FrameA contains the following:
<FORM NAME=Form1...>
<INPUT NAME=Text1 Type=TEXT SIZE=1>
</FORM>

From a diferent frame the following code can be used.

self.parent.FrameA.docuemnt.Form1.Text1.focus()

Tilli,
I don't think you can submit a form and change your location.href unless one
of them is targetted to a different frame.

It is a little hard to be sure what is happening in this case without seeing
the form method and action - and what the recieving script is doing.

I would probably consider doing this in a frame set up - so in effect you
change the location.href of another frame to the download file and the form
is submitted - and responded to in the active frame.

JavaScript uses square braces for array access so you would use

MyArray[1] = value

Remember that JavaSript arrays are zero relative so this array would

**nomouseover** is _NOT_ a javascript feature. Go read up on DOM
(document object model) it's part of both NN and MSIE's object models.
"Properties", "Methods", and "Events" of the _browser_ are supposed to be
independent of scripting languages and are _NOT_ inside the javascript
language, the various script languages can access these **exposed** interfaces
inside both Netscape Nav and MSIE but you really need to search for DOM type of
info and not the basic syntax types of info in javascript language resources.

Hi Jordan,
From the scripting doc's at:
www.microsoft.com/scripting
then go to javascript doc's from the left frame and you'll find what you need,
it's a must link for finding javascript or VBscript language reference:

when there you'll find the modulus operator. It's just like the same thing in
VB, C, C++ and I'm sure other languages use this very basic operator function. 

[More ...]

Create a loop function which subtracts the divisor from the numerand until
the remainder is zero or less than the numerand. By counting loops you can
then just use this function instead of the slash '/' operator for division.

You didn't submit a URL so I have no way of knowing, but my first guess is
that your table code actually places the <submit> button before the
textarea. Try doing a Shift+Tab from the textbox and see if that gets you
to your submit button.

It is not case sensitive in the sense of writing your VB Code. That is to say Sub MyName() is the same as sub myname(). But when you are handling strings within Visual Basic you would expect Visual Basic to behave consistantly. The String "aaa" is not the same as "AAA". That Instr("aaa","A") would return a 0 is the expected behavior. When you are manipiulating VB Strings you are outside the caseless

Pedro,
I have worked a little with this control, but it is a bit hard to be sure
what is happening without seeing your code.

Try either:
chart1.rowindex=0
chart1.DeleteRow(1)

Or
chart1.ResetContent [flag]

This will delete all cells, columns, and rows from the grid.

flag: If set to 0 column headings will be deleted. If set to 1 the column
headings will be left.

You can detect the window size in many browsers using client-side
scripting, but it requires different scripts for different browsers.
You're better off designing pages that'll display well in whatever
window size the user has selected, using the capabilities of HTML.

Yes, Aaron...but then you'd need to differentiate
between IE4 and Nav4, which makes it a bit klunky.

IE4 chokes on the Javascript.
Nav 3 chokes on the IE4 script.

It's a lot easier to have one script
for Nav3/4 and another one for IE4...

My own guess is that this is more to do with DirectX and driver problems
than anything else, but can you honestly expect novice (or even typical)
users to identify the problem themselves then trawl the net to locate
new video drivers and go through the install routines without any
support? - apparently Microsoft does!!!

Realistically this can only be done with a Java applet or the ActiveX-based
HTML Layout Control. The former is becoming more and more of a security
issue, and the latter is a massive download for those without it. So in
short, it can't be done without some major back-breaking code. My solution
is to write functions that work in Netscape 3, Netscape 4 and IE 4 -- and
leave static images for IE3 (if necessary, these are different, more
descriptive images). Someone else mentioned that users might have the

Print is an object in Visual Basic. According to Sams.Net, "...no
documented intrinsic way to print a page from VBScript is available at this
time."

print() and println() are methods in Java. Similarly, you can't call the
print() method from script without user intervention (via the Print dialog
box). This is a well-founded security concern/issue. For intranet
situations you could probably write a control/applet (or purchase one
somewhere), but for general usage everywhere I doubt you would be able

When you have a page with multiple frames, and the user clicks Print in

Whichever frame is active at that time will be the one that prints.

Easy, you don't. It depends on which frame has focus (e.g. where were they
scrolling or clicking last). This is one reason I try to stay away from
frames for material that's likely to get printed.

According to my handy object road map (http://www.dannyg.com/), the
reset() method was only introduced into MSIE 4, not 3. For version
three, you would therefore have two choices:

1. Reset each field through JavaScript, one by one.
document.formname.fieldA.value = "";
document.formname.fieldB.value = "";
document.formname.fieldC.value = "";
document.formname.funkyField.value = "";

As far as I know there isn't much of an update to the ie4.0 object model,

Bert,

I don't your ActiveX control, but some need a LPK (License Package) file.
You can find information about a LPK file on the MSDN.

Each Webpage (w/ ActiveX Control) has to have a LPK object:

<OBJECT CLASSID="clsid:5220cb21-c88d-11cf-b347-00aa00a28331">
<PARAM NAME="LPKPath" VALUE="NAME.LPK">

You don't need a LPK file if your PC is already licensed for this control!
The installation of VB will license you PC for all MS controls.

<FORM NAME="sendme" ACTION="mailto:[log in to unmask]">
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="Hello!" VALUE="Someone was here!">
</FORM>
<SCRIPT>
document.sendme.submit();
</SCRIPT>
