I have a table column that needs to be limited to a certain width - say 100 pixels. At times the text in that column is wider than this and contains no spaces. For example: a_really_long_string_of_text_like_this_with_no_line_breaks_makes_the_table_unhappy I would like to calculate the width of text server-side and add an ellipsis aft...
Hi, I have a textarea with overflow-x: auto; attributed to it. It works great when a user is typing text into the box by hand. When a user copy pastes a line from a file, however, that is bigger than my textarea, the overflow-x property does not work, instead the textarea wordwraps the long line. Is there a way (maybe javascript) to ma...
Hi, I'm looking for some kind of text-parser for ASP.NET that can make HTML from some style of text that uses a special format. Like in Wiki's there is some special syntax for headings and such. I have tried to look on google, but I did not found anything for .NET. Do someone know about a library for .NET that can parse the text to HTM...
I run a browser based game at www.darknovagames.com. Recently, I've been working on reformatting the site with CSS, trying to get all of its pages to verify according to the HTML standard. I've been toying with this idea of having the navigation menu on the left AJAX the pages in (rather than taking the user to a separate page each time...

I'm trying to write a Selenium test for a web page that uses an onbeforeunload event to prompt the user before leaving. Selenium doesn't seem to recognize the confirmation dialog that comes up, or to provide a way to hit OK or Cancel. Is there any way to do this? I'm using the Java Selenium driver, if that's relevant. ...
As far as I can tell there's no simple way of retrieving a character offset from a TextRange object in Internet Explorer. The W3C Range object has a node, and the offset into the text within that node. IE seems to just have pixel offsets. There are methods to create, extend and compare ranges, so it would be possible to write an algorith...
I am working on an ASP.Net web application that must print dynamically created labels on standard Avery-style label sheets (one particular size, so only one overall layout). The labels have a variable number of lines (3-6) and may contain either lines of text or a graphic barcode image. Our first cut, that I inherited, used monospaced f...

It seems pretty common to want to let your javascript know a particular dom node corresponds to a record in the database. So, how do you do it? One way I've seen that's pretty common is to use a class for the type and an id for the id: <div class="thing" id="5"> <script> myThing = select(".thing#5") </script> There's a slight html s...

Is there a way for me to right-justify the text displayed in a textbox? It would also be nice if when the user is entering data for it to start displaying what ...
I'm exploring the XML -> XSLT -> HTML meme for producing web content. I have very little XSLT experience. I'm curious what mechanisms are available in XSLT to handle abstractions or "refactoring". For example, with generic HTML and a service side include, many pages can be templated and decomposed to where there are, say, common header...

I'm hoping someone can share their experience. Thanks. ...
I have a Ruby on Rails application that I'm writing where a user has the option to edit an invoice. They need to be able to reassign the order of the rows. Right now I have an index column in the db which is used as the default sort mechanism. I just exposed that and allowed the user to edit it. This is not very elegant. I'd li...
