The problem is that we have a browser-based accounts system that links with an browser-based document management system. When you select the button in the accounts system, it loads the document management system to display the scanned image of the invoice that you had been viewing the details...

In the same way that <a href=”www.mydomain.co.uk” target="_blank">my website</a> in an HTML page would force the link to open in a new window, is there a way that you can force IE to open the URL that you’ve typed in the address bar in a new window, effectively forcing a target="_blank"? If...

Hi Guys I have written a vb.net (2003) application. The application when loaded reads the system login name and basically copies some config files either to the local machine or back to the server. It also reads paths from an XML file. The problem l am having is with windows security. When...

Hi guys I'm running a web server using 2003 server and IIS6. The system auto downloaded a number of windows updates recently and I've had problems ever since. I am now unable to access my web sites - these are using integrated windows authentication. I can access ok through localhost but not...

Many thanks, Chris - that's just the effect I was after. Guess I couldn't see the wood for the trees!!!! Regards Mick

It's weird, I can see the H3 text rendering itself from the default margins to mine when I initially mouse-over - after that it's ok. I'm pretty new to using CSS extensively so I hope you guys will bear with me on this I've tried sorting out a stripped out version of my code and I can't even...

I'm using CSS to (heavily) style a table layout, as the client will be carrying out future site amendments and I'm trying to make it as straightforward as possible :-) The problem I'm having is in controlling the default margins on some H3 tags which are also a link (basically there is a Sales...

I haven't tried it, but apparently you can do this with .htaccess. Have a look at http://www.javascriptkit.com/howto/htaccess9.shtml for more info. Regards Mick

Thanks for the info. I was afraid it'd involve buying something :-) Getting hold of new software is terrible here, having to get it sourced, costed and approved, then approved by my line manager - it's a lot of hassle and takes absolutely ages. The joy of working for a plc I guess!! lol...

Hi guys A client of ours wants to be able to email documents to a third party, but because of their sensitive nature, the only option allowed must be printing only. The documents are created using MS Word - I know I can convert that to a PDF, but does anyone know how I can use VB to impose...

Hiya Came across this the other day, dunno if it's of any use to you.... http://www.ipipi.com/land-sms-bn.htm They are nothing to do with me, I might add, nor do I have any experience of using them Mick

Cheers for the help guys The client wants their contact details on every page and across the bottom seemed like a good place to put it. It's a fluid design so I wanted it to appear at the bottom of the screen and not vary in position if the contents of a particular page were particularly...

Thanks, I'll try that when I get home and let you know how I get on In IE5.5 the middle row stretches to fill the height of the screen (as expected), but in IE6 it doesn't, so the bottom row with the contact details in it appears mid-way down the page, if there's not a lot of content in it I...

I have a single table, width is 100%, height 100% There are 3 rows - the top one is 60px high and contains the client's logo. The bottom one is 80px high and contains the name, contact details etc. For the middle row, the <tr> height is set to 100% so that it stretches to fill the screen. My...

I am looking for a way of invoking the &quot;File Download/Save As&quot; window when a visitor to my site clicks on a link, so that they can download it, rather than have the file open in it's native program. At the moment, I either have to tell people to &quot;right click and save as&quot; or...
