Excel and IE7
Date: 02/21/09
(Web Development) Keywords: browser, xml
Gday everyone,
I'm hoping someone can help me with a bit of problem I'm having - and I'm absolutely stumped as to how to solve it.
I'm building a very simple site, that contains a link to an Excel for the user to download. The Excel file is pretty complex (macros, formulas etc. I don't know too much about), and I'm able to either save the file or open it right away when using Firefox and Chrome. However, when I test the site in IE7, the browser wants to save the Excel file as a .zip file.
I've tried saving it as a .zip file and unpacked it. It contains a bunch of XML files, that I'm assuming are being pulled from the Excel file. I've tried every combination of Excel file, from the complex one provided by the client to a very simple file with little data. I've also tried different Excel formats such as Workbook, Macro Enabled Workbook and Binary Macro Enabled Workbook.
These all download / open in Firefox + Chrome - but not in IE.
Anyone have any insight into whats going on? I can't find a solution (let alone a reason) anywhere. Thanks in advance.

PHP Includes and Height (CSS Question)
Date: 01/25/09
(Web Development) Keywords: php, browser
I use php includes for the menus on my site. Some have one, some have two. Anyway, I decided to declare a body background on my style sheet, then surround all of the pages in a div (id = content) that has a white background. That worked just fine. The problem now is that the pages don't extend to the bottom of the browser. I realize this can be remedied with height: 100% in conjunction with min-height: 100%. I tried this, and it worked. The problem is that I can't put that in the body section of the style sheet, because then it makes EACH document 100% of the browser (200% to 300% total). I tried applying the height to the content div instead, but that didn't work. I hope my explanation wasn't too confusing! Please let me know of a way around this so that the divs take up the remainder of the browser height after the php includes. Thanks!

Accessability Changing Font Sizes
Date: 01/20/09
(Web Development) Keywords: php, browser, css, html, asp, java
Hello Again,
So I am wondering if anyone can help or has some similarly good idea
for a solution to this problem. We as currently trying to deploy a site
which will be generated HTML, on this site we need to provide an accessable
method to re-size the font between meduim, larger, largest. We need a
non-javascript alterntive, we where thinking of using a set of three
diffrent stylesheets to acheive this. But is there a cunning CSS hack
for example we can use to adjust the base font size rather than using a
scripting language (asp/php/javascript)?
I would have toyed with the idea of maybe triggering the browsers text
re-size ability but it needs to be usable across browsers up to two
versions old. Any thoughts gladly appreciated :)
Cheers

When BMW designs a computer case
Date: 03/09/09
(Computer Geeks) Keywords: browser
When BMW tries to design a computer case, this happens:
http://www.pcgameshardware.com/&menu=browser&mode=article&image_id=984990&article_id=678000&page=2
At CeBIT, Thermaltake showed a case they designed with cooperation from BMW for Thermaltake's 10th anniversary. Instead of one case it puts everything inside their own compartments.
My reactions to the photos were:
- Errrrr...
- This makes either really GOOD airflow, or really BAD airflow.
- At least the power supply is getting good airflow?
- Installing drives are probably going to be a PITA
- This is kinda ugly
- Get an Antec 900 or CoolerMaster Centurion 590 if you really want good airflow
[edit: The drives aren't getting ANY airflow. What were they thinking??]

at my wits end here
Date: 02/20/09
(Computer Geeks) Keywords: browser
Windows: XP
Browser: IE7
What is __PTAWIA?
Usually after an hour or so of internet usage the system locks up. Can't open new windows, certain menus won't open, can't right click anything, most icons on desktop won't go anywhere, etc. Only thing that works continues to work is the mouse and that's only if you enjoy moving it around pointlessly.
Rebooting fixes the problem...which is the only reason I know what the name of the thing is cuz it has to shut that down before it can shut itself down. Tried running searches for it but whatever the bloody thing is it's not attached to anything on the hardrive of the same name.
Thought it was just on this one system I most often use but I've run into the same difficulty when I was using
Raven's setup too.

Sessions
Date: 01/17/09
(PHP Community) Keywords: browser
Hi Guys!
Another one of my dumb questions! This time, it's about sessions.
What's the best way to make a session reset itself when you hit the refresh button?
if (!session_start())
{
session_start();
header("Cache-control: private");
$_SESSION['num'] = 0;
$i = $_SESSION['num'];
echo $i;
}
else
{
$i = $_SESSION['num'];
echo $i;
}
if (!$i)
$i = 0;
(please ignore the echo's. They're what I've been using to track what the numbers are while I make this project)
Right now, that's what I've got controlling my session for this particular thing. What happens is the value in $_SESSION['num'] increases every time the "add another item" link is clicked. A new set of fields pops up at the bottom of the form and it's filloutable. When you don't have any more things to add, you hit the submit button.
But say I end up refreshing the page halfway through because I want to restart? Then the number doesn't reset back to 0.
What's the best way to reset it back to zero on refresh or on the reloading of a page (without closing the browser)
Thanks!

Renaming file on-fly
Date: 06/13/08
(Asp Dot Net) Keywords: browser, web
Hello,
I do have a file on web server, let's say 123.zip
When I am redirecting user to it, browser opens Save dialog and puts that name by default: 123.zip. Is there any way to change that name to, let's say 456.zip?
File 123.zip stays on server as 123.zip, but user sees it as 456.zip.
One of the known ways is:
Byte[] data = System.IO.File.ReadAllBytes(sFullName); // 123.zip
Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=456.zip");
Response.OutputStream.Write(data, 0, data.Length);
Response.End();
But in this case I have to read the whole file first and then stream it out. Works fine with small files, but 123.zip could be huge. Then browser freezes and ends by timeout.
Thank you.

Unreadable emails from html form
Date: 03/12/09
(Web Development) Keywords: php, browser, html, web
May I ask for help? I created an html form in Russian. A user is expected to fill out the form (presumably, using some sort of Cyrillic) and the results are emailed to a target person in an html format. Sometimes, the emails are just right. In other cases they are unreadable. What a target person sees in his mailbox looks like this:

This is instead of a decent html file that comes in other cases. I am able to decode it using charset.ru. However, it's still annoying. These kinds of emails come from any browsers and both Mac and Win. What might be the reason? Thank you!

Hello everyone.
I've posted here before but now I'm looking for advice on css/html. I know it's somewhat off-topic.. but /shrug, I've spent all day at work kicking myself over this.
So I have this page I need to develop. I'm pretty pro at css/html but for some reason, my life hates me today and it's either breaking in firefox or IE.
This is what I'm getting in my browsers:
Firefox 3.0.7
IE 7
IE 7's screenshot is what I want. Firefox is just being way off. But anyways, I was wondering if anyone had any tips on how I can get this to work in both browsers.
Just for your reference, here is the my code:
