    Writing text to form fields

    I am building a simple page to enable addition of news items to my intranet via a form submitted to the database. I want the user to be able to click buttons that add text to a textarea - e.g. they can click a button to automatically write empty html tags and links with "almost" complete urls...

    Download Files

    Is there a simple way of replicating the Right Click-> Save Target As behaviour in a link, so that rather than opening a file in a browser it prompts for download to their local machine when the link is clicked?

    font-size not working in css

    Could be a caching thing? I find at times IE6 insists on displaying cached pages even if you have changed page. This seems to be random behaviour though, doesn't always happen.

    Why is the whole box not clickable in IE6 when using display: block to alter the appearance of links?

    You can use display: block to turn a link into a block level element. This is useful if you want to display a series of links as a menu. You can alter an unordered list, for example, so that it appears to be a table containing links, and use the a:hover psuedo class to change the background...

    display: block; - bug in IE?

    I am designing a site with a styled unordered list as a menu, with links using display: block to , er, display as block level elements, and then using a:hover to change the background. The problem is that sometimes in IE6 the whole block of the link is not clickable, although it is in other...

    Only Part of Memo Field Appearing

    Have a strange one. Have asp page working with Access 2003 Database. For some reason only part of the contents of a memo field appears on the page, where I am trying to get the whole body of text to appear. It just breaks off part way through. Any ideas?

    Optional Search Parameters

    So if I'm understanding you correctly, I would put a value in the lookup table that says "choose one" or something with a value associated with that. I would then need to write some VBScript that builds a sql statement piece by piece according to what had or hadn't been selected. Is that what...

    Optional Search Parameters

    I have a search page with 3 drop-down boxes (fed from tables in a database) from which users can pick 3 categories to search on. However, I need to set it up so that users can search on only two of those categories if they so wish. The page is backed by a sql query of the WHERE ID =...

    Conversion of yes/no to text

    I have manually converted Yes/No fields in an access table to text, and instead of -1 or 0, they say "Yes" or "No" - I need to know how you can make this conversion in a query (access not my strong point!) Regards, Tony
