How about giving www.aspnetfaq.com a test ride ?

[Juan T. Llibre]

Hey, guys.

How about giving [url]http://www.aspnetfaq.com/[/url] a test ride ?

Especially, check out the search facility.
Make sure that you hit the Search button, though.
I have not yet set the default behavior to Submit when you hit enter.

Also, check the selection by category and the FAQ selection by clicking on it.

I will appreciate all feedback, as the site is going live within 24 hours.

Thanks!

Juan,

Question about setting default behavior to Submit. Do you do this with
JavaScript of is there a .NET way of accomplishing this behavior?

JavaScript works fine.

See : [url]http://www.allasp.net/enterkey.aspx[/url]

You can use a slightly more native way to do this with :

SomeTextBox.Attributes.Add("onKeyPress",
"javascript:if (event.keyCode == 13) __doPostBack('" +
YourSubmitButton.UniqueID + "','')");

That should all go on one line...

"SomeTextBox" is the text box control,
while "YourSubmitButton" is the submit button.

The easiest way to get this behavior to work is to
include a hidden submit button anywhere in the page:

<input type="text" style="display:none">

Then, you don't need any Javascript at all.

I just added that line to the ASPNETFAQ.COM Search button.

Try it now. You'll see that hitting enter instead of clicking the "Search Now" works.

It's just that I was swamped with more pressing issues.

In IE your font is Verdana as your stylesheet says. Buy in Firefox it is
smaller and something else ...Arial?

[Juan T. Llibre]

Thanks for the tip, Greg.

I had tested the site with Opera and IE, which rendered it well,
but had forgotten to test it with Firefox.

Apparently, Firefox has problems rendering the Verdana font.
Changing the default font to Arial 10 pt. makes it palatable to Firefox.

Look at it now : [url]http://www.aspnetfaq.com/[/url]

It's not quite perfect in Firefox (the tables have some extra space at the top),
but at least it's far more readable.

Thanks!

Pretty rough, but seems like a good idea. You might want to actually
link up the links in your FAQ answers!

And yeah, as somebody else mentioned, please please please set
enableviewstate to false! There's nothing there that could even
trigger a postback. Why tack on an extra 300k to each page load?

[Juan T. Llibre]

Jason,

re:

> please please please set enableviewstate to false

Yikes! I totally forgot about that.
Done ! It's shrunk down to almost nothing.

Thanks...

re:

> You might want to actually link up the links in your FAQ answers!

The links in the "link to more information" are live.
I don't want the links inside the "answer" table to be live.

The reason for that is that I'm HTMLEncoding the answer field, so that
I can display script tags in the answers when sample code is required.

That's quite important for FAQs.
Naturally, that prevents HTML links from being active.

What I've tried to do is post the text for *additional* links in the answer TD,
over and above the principal link in the "link to more information" TD,
so that at least they are available for copy/paste.

Thank you for your very helpful comments,
particularly the Viewstate suggestion.

I've got my work cut out for me now,
inserting about 300 FAQs I've got squirreled away.

;-)

[Greg Burns]

I just copied your page source and stylesheet to my machine. Changed both
font's back to verdana

body { font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica; font-size:10pt;
background-color:#FFFFE6; }
td { font-family:verdana,arial,helvetica; font-size:10pt;
background-color:#FFFFE6; }

Seems to be working fine in Firefox. You probably need to clear your cache
in Firefox if you are not seeing the change.
Tools->Options->Privacy->Cache->Clear button

I assume adding the td tag is what got it working. I am no CSS expert by any
means!

[Juan T. Llibre]

Thanks, Greg.

I think what happened is that the css td setting was set for an IE-only font.
IE would use it, but Firefox would substitute Times New Roman for it.

When I changed it to Arial, all browsers displayed it well.

I just changed it to Verdana, in my dev site ( not the live one )
and all browsers display it OK, too, so you're right.

But, I think I'll stick with Arial at the live site.

Changing it again won't make it look any better.
Both Verdana and Arial are quire readable.

The Times New Roman which was subbed
by Firefox was sure for the birds, though.

;-)

Thanks!

How do you figure? It's easy enough to write a Regex to sniff out
anything that might be a potential link and link it up. Even if you're
HTMLEncoding before you store them, it's still a trivial pattern. It
doesn't even require any hand intervention, just a simple
Regex.Replace().

I assume you already have some sort of PrepForHTMLOutput method that
you run everything through on the way to the page. Why not do your
link wrapping there?

Using IIS 6.0 and .Net Framework 2.0, please show me
how I could "sniff" links from the following SQL field content,
and display the two links as enabled HTML links :

-------------
Screen-scraping is the process of grabbing HTML
from a remote URL and processing the results in your code.

Here are two links to examples:

[url]http://www.123aspx.com/redir.aspx?res=28884[/url]
[url]http://www.4guysfromrolla.com/webtech/070601-1.shtml[/url]

-------------

Remember that I'm using a standard datagrid to show results :

<Fields>
<asp:BoundField DataField="FaqQuestion" HeaderText="Question: " SortExpression="FaqQuestion" />
<asp:TemplateField HeaderText="Answer:" SortExpression="Answer">
<ItemTemplate>
<asp:Label ID="Label1" runat="server" Text='<%# Replace(Server.HtmlEncode(Eval("Answer")),VbCrLf," <BR>") %>'></asp:Label>
</ItemTemplate>
<EditItemTemplate>
<asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("Answer") %>'></asp:TextBox>
</EditItemTemplate>
<InsertItemTemplate>
<asp:TextBox ID="TextBox1" runat="server" Text='<%# Bind("Answer") %>'></asp:TextBox>
</InsertItemTemplate>
</asp:TemplateField>
<asp:HyperLinkField DataNavigateUrlFields="AnswerLink" DataNavigateUrlFormatString="{0}"
DataTextField="AnswerLink" HeaderText="Link to more information:" Target="_blank" />
</Fields>

Please excuse the HTML, but it's the only way to keep these on single lines.

Thanks...
