    Is the recordset "objRS" or "rs"?
    
    I usually construct the string comletely:
    
    var opts = "";
    while(!objRS.EOF) {
    opts += "<option value=" + objRS("fld_example") + ">" +
    objRS.Fields("fld_example") + "</option>"
    objRS.movenext
    }
    
    before using it:
    
    <select>
    <%=opts%>
    </select>
    
    Also, I usually use VBScript (instead of JScript) with ASP.
    
    (Note sure what that code was after your signature.)

  - Writing a local XML file from a parsed URL?? Similar to RSSHello,
    
    I may not have worded the subject correctly, but what I am trying to do
    is pull the XML data from the following stream,
    http://www.360voice.com/api/blog-getentries.asp?tag=changeagent&num=5,
    into a webpage. What I would like to do, or think I need to do is
    create a webpage that will pull the XML data from the above URL and
    write it to a local XML file. I would then like to apply an XSL
    stylesheet to the local XML file and display it on a website. In other
    words, I am trying to pull the above URL into my website.... so I am
    looking for a place to start with javascript. This is almost like
    displaying RSS feeds into a webpage.
    
    Thanks so much!!!!!

  - Sending page as XML lets offsetWIdth return 0When use text/html as header for my page the method
    element.offsetWIdth/Height work as usually and return the real
    width/height of an element, but when I use XML as type (which is
    necessary in modern browsers to use strict XHTML) the function returns
    just 0.
    
    Can somebody help me, it's very important. The prototype function
    Element.getDimensions() doesn't work in strict mode.

  - Regular expression difference in NN.I am using a string which has <tr> tags inside it.
    I want to do a greedy search on it.
    For eg.. if that string contains,
    
    <nothing><tr>bla</tr><tr>blablabla</tr><tr>hi</tr></nothing>
    
    I want to extract the things inside <tr>..</tr> tags.
    Like,
    <tr>bla</tr><tr>blablabla</tr><tr>hi</tr>
    
    I wrote regular expression
    1.var extractTR = /<tr(.|\n|\r)*<\/tr>/mgi;
    2.table_tr_arr = withReportPage.match(extractTR); //withReportPage is
    the string.
    
    When i execute in IE, everything is working, but when i open it in
    NN 7, it is crashing when that line is executed !. Seems greedy search
    is not supported in NN7 ??

  - function call on submitHi,
    
    I have a function call in my form tag like this:
    <form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" method="post"
    name="myform" id="myform" onsubmit="return chkform()">
    
    and the function looks like:
    <script type="text/javascript">
    function chkform()
    {
    if (document.myform.first_name.value == "")
    {
    alert("Please enter your firstname!");
    document.Formular.first_name.focus();
    return false;
    }
    if (document.myform.last_name.value == "")
    {
    alert("Please enter your lastname!");
    document.Formular.last_name.focus();
    return false;
    }
    ...
    ...
    ...
    alert("SUBMIT!");
    return true;
    }
    </script>
    
    It can be checked out here: http://www.dvdnowkiosks.com/tmp/form.php
    The form gets submitted even tho the function returns false, why this??? :o
    As soon as you hit the OK button from the alert box, data get submitted to
    the php, why this? It shouldn't, no? What am i doing wrongly?
    
    Thank you!

  - Problem when trying to copy the home page design of Msn Video siteThis is the msn video site: http://video.msn.com/
    On the home page, we can see some small preview pictures of
    videos.When we move the cursor over it, the picture will disappear,
    and some description text about the video will show up and replace the
    area of the original picture. When we move the cursor out of it, the
    picture is back again.
    I am trying to imitate exactly this effect.
    I use both of the onmouseover and onmouseout events to do that job,
    and it looks just as it is the real site of msn video. But there is a
    problem with it and I spent a whole day on it but still can't figure
    out a solution.
    The problem is: when I move the cursor in a normal speed over several
    preview pictures, everything is ok, but When I move the cursor over
    these pictures in a high speed, some of the pictures will not come
    back, and the replaced description texts of them are still there. It
    seems as if some onmouseout events failed to execute or are missing.
    Could someone give me some tips about how to resolve this problem?

  - "Split & Parts" different results in Firefox & IExplorerThe following code is supposed to reverse the date in "yyyy-mm-dd" format,
    but it produces different results in Firefox 1.0 and in Internet Explorer
    6SP1. In Firefox, the result is correct ("2004-11-29") but it's wrong in
    Internet Explorer 6SP1 ("00:20:15-11-29"). If I change "dateParts[3]" to
    "dateParts[4]", it's exactly the opposite that occures: a correct result in
    IExplorer but a fault in Firefox. Is there a workaround? Where do I miss the
    point??
    
    >>
    function SplitDate()
    {
    // Split current date.
    today = Date();
    dateParts = today.split(" ");
    
    // Assign splitted date parts to variables.
    year=dateParts[3];
    month=GetMonthNumber(dateParts[1]);
    day=dateParts[2];
    
    // Build date in "yyyy-mm-dd" format
    dateStamp = year + "-" + month + "-" + day;
    }

  - How effective is user side caching?I am creating a personal project where I plan to use AJAX. Something on

  - Hiding rows in a table via <div>Following is a snippet of html in which I hide a whole table and try to
    hide a single row.
    
    Here is my question (plz don't chew my head off if its css related instead):
    Why does the divTable <div> Hide/Show work but not the divRow version?
    
    What I'm trying to do here is simultaneously hide 1 or more rows
    (possibly with nested divs as well).
    This would allow for an elegant an well performing base for an html base
    treetable (but I guess that's not relevant).
    
    Any suggestions appreciated.
    
    TIA

  - JS/CSS QuestionHi,
    
    I've been playing with these cool scripts: http://jstween.blogspot.com/
    and had good results!
    
    What I'm trying to do, is tween the background color of a table row
    onmouseover and onmouseout.
    
    The code is working fine apart from one small bug.
    
    Have a play here first:
    
    http://www.muonlab.com/test/test.html
    
    Move your mouse over the data row vertically and observe a sexy tween!
    However when you move your mouse across the row and your mouse crosses a
    </td><td> boundary is sends the onmouseover/onmouseout mental!
    
    Why is this?
    
    I'm assuming its just some html/css sillyness? Is there something I can
    easily do in the html/css to stop this, or is that just the way things are?
    
    :(
    
    Hope someone can help!
    
    Thanks

  - How to add parameters to a function passed as a paramter?Here's an interesting problem...
    
    I have 2 functions, aFunc() and bFunc(). I call aFunc() passing a call
    to bFunc() as a parameter. Function aFunc() executes bFunc(). Function
    bFunc() lists the parameter values passed to it.
    
    OK, here's the twist...
    
    I want to add some parameters to bFunc() from inside aFunc(). Can that
    be done?
    
    Sorry no prizes, except the satisfaction of the solution :)
    
    Regards,
    Steve
    
    aFunc(function() { bFunc(); } );
    
    function aFunc(f) {
    var x = 1;
    var y = 2;
    
    // add x, y as parameters to function f()
    // ???
    
    // execute the parameter function
    f();
    }
    
    function bFunc() {
    for (var i = 0; i < arguments.length; ++i) {
    alert(arguments[i]);
    }
    }

    Thanks! Trying not to be impolite i still need to point that the question
    was "how can it be done", not the opposite. Are you suggesting that
    the only (recommended) way to to request (another) page from the
    server? It would be doable in my case, of course, but i'd prefer not to
    send in the string using http://.../file.aspx?str=info.
    
    Perhaps i could bake it in the sender object. What do you think?

    To a certain extent, yes. Scripting could alter the class attribute
    dynamically, but in that case, it would be best done entirely dynamically
    (unless Chris' suggestion was used).
    
    > He's asking for a dynamic solution, where the appearance of the page

    To be honest, I didn't read the entire original post, just the follow-up
    in c.l.js that sent the OP here. I should have.

    Perhaps. You'd have to ask that person.

    Then my mistake. I assumed the direction to ciwas was correct.
    
    The optimum solution would depend on the structure of the form.
    
    To the OP: do you have a URL to demonstrate the form?

Probably Macromedia^WAdobe as one; RTFM. That said, you should avoid
pre-installed Dreamweaver script snippet code because of its quality
or rather the lack thereof.

  - Script problem/question with codeThis may be easy for most but I can't get this thing to work. I
    believe I followed all the instructions but when I click on the link
    no window opens just the default IE page cannot display. Here is
    exactly what I entered in the link dialog:
    
    <a
    href="javascript:popImage('http://www.sambuccibros.com/carseat.jpg','New
    Car Seat')">
    
    Is this my problem? Please help.
    
    P.S. I am using Dreamweaver MX 2004
    
    BELOW IS THE INSTRUCTIONS AND EXACTLY WHAT I COPIED AND PASTED BETWEEN
    THE HEAD TAGS AS PER THE INSTRUCTIONS:
    ==============================================================
    Script: Auto-Sizing Image Popup Window
    
    Functions: Use this script to launch a popup window that
    automatically loads an image and resizes itself
    to fit neatly around that image. The script also
    places a title you set in the titlebar of the
    popup window. Any number of images can be launched
    from a single instance of the script.
    
    Browsers: NS6-7 & IE4 and later
    [Degrades functionally in NS4]

    ==============================================================
    
    STEP 1.
    Inserting the JavaScript <script> In Your Page
    
    Insert the following script in the <head>...</head> part
    of your page. Take special care not to break any of the lines;
    they must be exactly as shown.
    
    Set the variables as per the instructions in the script.
    
    <script>

    // Set the horizontal and vertical position for the popup
    
    PositionX = 100;
    PositionY = 100;
    
    // Set these value approximately 20 pixels greater than the
    // size of the largest image to be used (needed for Netscape)
    
    defaultWidth = 500;
    defaultHeight = 500;
    
    // Set autoclose true to have the window close automatically
    // Set autoclose false to allow multiple popup windows
    
    var AutoClose = true;

    ==============================================================
    
    STEP 2.
    Calling the Image Popup from Links in Your Page
    
    This is the form of the function:
    
    popImage("url_of_image","title_of_image")
    
    Use the relative or absolute path of the image where we show
    url_of_image. This is the url of the image you wish to show
    in the auto-sizing popup window.
    
    Use any text you wish where we show title_of_image. This is
    the title that will appear in the titlebar of the popup. (Note:
    do not use single- or double-quotes within a title.)

  - Need an ascii image format!Hi,
    
    I developing a system using JSP. People familiar with this technology
    know that ServerPages are easier to maintain than Servlets, but they
    can only have ASCII output.
    
    With that as the backdrop, here's what I want to accomplish. I want
    clicking on a link to cause a script to be executed on the server but
    -->I don't want the browser to jump to another page<--.
    
    A solution that I conceived was to have javascript like
    
    someimage.src = 'http://myscript'
    
    This will accomplish the task and it would be great if myscript return
    an image of a checked checkbox! But, because of JSP limitations this
    would need to be an ASCII image.
    
    So my question is twofold:
    1. Are there convenient ASCII image formats?
    2. Is there another way to accomplish what I want (trigger some action
    on the server without jumping to another page and using js to display
    a sensible response - something like a check)?
    
    Thanks!

  - variables should be declared in examples in the FAQAssigning to undeclared variables is considered a bad practice (I hope
    I don't need to explain the reasons here). The examples in the FAQ
    should declare the variables it uses:
    
    http://www.jibbering.com/faq/#FAQ4_15
    > DocDom = (document.getElementById?true:false);
    
    http://www.jibbering.com/faq/#FAQ4_42
    > wRef = window.open("http://example.com/page.html","windowName");

  - setTimeoutDr J R Stockton said the following on 5/20/2007 11:37 AM:

    The difference is that in Evertjan's code [object] refers to an Object
    in the page itself.

  - Restricting user input without "disabled"Hi
    
    I have two "totals" inputs whose values are dynamically calculated.
    For obvious reasons I don't want users to be able to edit the
    information in these. However, I do want this total passed to the next
    page so I can store it. When I set the input to "disabled" it does not
    pass it's value. Is there another way I can do this?
    
    I was thinking about using an onFocus event to set the focus to
    another field but is this the best option? Any help appreciated.
    
    cheers

  - Write into iFRAME ( IE 6 Bug?)Here's the code:
    <html>
    <body onload="setTimeout('Writing();', 1000);" topmargin=0>
    <form id=Form1>
    <iframe id="mainchat" src="about:blank" height=200></iframe>
    
    <script language="javascript">
    function Writing(){
    window.frames[0].document.write('<a href="javascript:void(0);"
    onclick="javascript:alert(\'alert\');">writing</a> ');
    setTimeout('Writing()', 3000);
    //alert('firing');
    }
    </script>
    
    </form>
    </body>
    </html>
    
    If you execute it in IE 6.0 and click on the WRITING <A> tag being
    printed every 3 seconds in the iframe, it will stop writing into
    iFrame, the setTimeout will still be firing but document.write command
    will be ignored!!!
    
    Works perfectly in IE 7 and Firefox.
    
    Is there any way to make it work in IE 6 ???

  - Mashing - using services on the users computer.Hi All, I have wrapped SQLite, the open-source relational database and
    ImageMagick, the open-source image manipulation library into a
    client-side web-operating-platform that is accessible directly from
    Javascript running in the browser using XmlHTTPRequest. The platform
    also includes controlled private access to the file system, allows you
    to cross-site script without the need for a proxy-server on your site,
    and also lets you set up event handlers for when your site is not
    accessible.
    
    The client application is called eclayer and is available from
    http://www.eclayer.com .
    
    Works on Windows & Linux. Tested extensively on Internet Explorer,
    Firefox, and Konqueror. Sample code is provided.
    
    Feedback appreciated. Thanks - John Sheridan.

  - parent.frames['xxx'] undefined in MozillaHello all;
    
    I got my javascript script working in IE and am now testing it in
    Mozilla/Opera. I am trying to change the .cols property of a frameset and am
    having trouble. I put the following alerts in my script to track down the
    problem:
    
    alert("parent = " + parent);
    alert("parent.frames = " + parent.frames);
    alert("parent.frames['xxx'] = " + parent.frames['xxx']);
    alert("parent.frames['xxx'].cols = " + parent.frames['xxx'].cols);
    
    The above work work fine in IE, but the alerts referring to ['xxx'] (the
    name of the frameset) return "undefined" in both Mozilla and Opera.
    
    FWIW, altering the contents of one of the *frames* via:
    
    parent.frames['ccs_logo'].location = 'ccs_logo.htm'
    
    works OK in IE, Mozilla, and Opera.
    
    The only difference I see is that "xxx" is the name of a *frameset* and
    "ccs_logo" is the name of an actual *frame* within the frameset.
    
    I have searched google and read several web pages on frames/framesets and,
    from what I've read, these statements should work OK. Can anyone tell me
    what I'm overlooking?
    
    TIA.
    
    Charles...

  - Converting text to DOM objectI have an XML file hosted by my ISP free web space. It naively treats
    the file as text/plain. I would like to convert this data into a DOM
    object. So far my googling has turned up nothing, although looking over
    the DOM manual on Mozilla I came up with:
    
    function convertDOM(text)
    {
    var lines = text.split("\r\n");
    var dom = document.createDocumentFragment();
    for (var i = 0; i < lines.length; i++)
    {
    var node = document.createTextNode(lines[i]);
    dom.appendChild(node);
    }
    return dom;
    }
    
    The returned object is not treated as an DOM object.
    Anything I am missing / A different approach maybe?
    
    Any help is greatly apprecited.

  - Need a start for this projectHi,
    
    Although I'm very familair with C++ programming, I'm having some problems
    coding up a piece of JavaScript for my sister in law.
    
    The problem is the following:
    
    From a website I need to select from a combobox one of the items x(1)..x(n)
    When selected a new window must pop up that describes more details about the
    selected items x(i).
    Items in the combobox must be created from objects that also describe the
    details.
    
    Here starts my problem...I know how to define objects x(1)..x(n) and how to
    create a combobox from it.
    But how to start a new page that shows the details. In fact, how can I
    access the objects that exist in the first window from the second window?
    
    This is the first question...I have plenty more..but I think when I
    understand this piece I might find out all the answers myself.
    
    Please help (I feel ashamed that I don't know the answer as a pretty
    experienced C++ programmer)

  - Javascript on Linux serverI currently have a page that is running from a windows based server
    with frontpage extensions installed. My mouseover script works great.
    I am now in the process of developing another page that will run from
    a linux server that will not have the frontpage extensions installed.
    My question is, does the differnt platform matter with javascript.
    Will the exact code that is working on the windows server work on the
    linux server?
    
    Thanks in advance,
