Does anyone know of a RADIUS authentication library for .NET? I don't think there is one inherently in the framework. I would think there is a third-party vendor out there that makes one though. Anyone heard of one?

No, I'm talking about RADIUS, the authentication protocol. It works with IAS.

Does .net handle RADIUS inherently? If not, is there a third-party vendor that sells a radius library for .net?

There are a couple problems with your setup. First, you can't connect ADO through HTTP, which is what you are doing by using the URL (http://....). Granted, you can see the file when you type in its url, but that just allows you to download the database via your browser. HTTP doesn't have anything to do with ADO, which is what you use to get the data out of the file and into your page. You will have to use the actual file system path. Here is how you can find the path to the folder your database is in. Make a file with the following code and place it in the same folder as your database and browse for it. <% longpath=Server.MapPath(".") Response.Write(longpath) %> This will show you the full path to this file. Subtitute the filename of the database with the file name of the script, and there is your path to the database. The second problem I see here is that you have published your database to a folder that is viewable to the entire world. This means that anyone could go to your site and download the entire database file. Perhaps your database does not have any sensitive data, but let's say for example that you had login names and passwords in it. Someone could download your database, open it, and have full access to your site. This is pretty poor security. If I were you, I'd call up my hosting company and ask about a database folder which is outside of the document root, thus placing the database somewhere that only you can access it. They will also tell you the path to this folder, which solves your first problem as well.

Gym bag, huh? You are lucky. The voices that call to me say "Jim, go to the bar!" Granted, my voices are usually just my alcoholic boss trying to find someone to get plastered with.

Awesome. Thanks!

I am working on an asp script that pulls data from ms sql. In one part, it pulls the days of the week that an event occurs on. If I do something like this: select dayofweek from schedule where id=5 I get: --------- dayofweek --------- M --------- T --------- W --------- What I need is a sql statement that does something like this: --------- dayofweek --------- M,T,W --------- Is there a way to select them into one record like this even though they are stored in multiple rows in the table? Thanks, Jim

I never thought database access with javascript was possible until I saw this article... http://www.1javastreet.com/vb/scripts/ShowCode.asp?txtCodeId=2804&lngWId=2[^]

If you are looking to resize the images, one site you may want to look at is http://www.chestysoft.co.uk/coldfusion/imagefile/thumbnails.cfm[^] It will show you how to do a <cfset image.Scale(15)> in order to change the size of the original picture.

Cold fusion works in tags like html. Here is an example: Hello, my name is #name# I found it easier to learn than ASP or ASP.Net, but then again, I suck at C++ and my C background is nothing to write home about. For someone who understands the concept of server-side processing, learning cold fusion should only take a weekend (at least to a degree necessary of managing a pre-built solution). Go to the bookstore and pick up a Cold Fusion basics book. You should be set. Is it dying? Who knows. It used to have a much stronger presence than it does now. If it dies off, it is because Macromedia is charging to much for it. It isn't that it is over-priced for what it does. I whole-heartedly admit that it is a great tool. In fact if price were not a factor, I would choose to use it over ASP/ASP.Net. I just think that the majority of the world will never be able to afford to use it.

It depends on which package you are looking for: http://www.macromedia.com/software/coldfusion/buy/[^]

You can do this: window.statusbar.visible = false; window.toolbar.visible = false; The only problem is that this script will only work with Netscape 4+. IE doesn't have a window object for either the status bar or the tool bar.

I don't know if you mean pop-ups or just the next page. If you are looking to change a pop up, take a look at chapter seven of http://www.javascriptworld.com/scripts/index.html. If you want to change the appearance of the next page depending on what you click on, you could do that on the back end with ASP or something like that. The script would then generate custom CSS based on what the link asked for. For example: /page.asp?layout=1 vs. /page.asp?layout=2 In your asp code, you would have something like: <% layout=Request.QueryString("layout") If layout = 1 then %> (first style sheet) <% Else %> (second style sheet) <% End If %>

I work with both. I've used cold fusion for years, but am relying more and more on asp these days. Cold fusion pros: The big one is consistancy. If you are given a server that runs cold fusion, you know exactly what is on it. While it is possible to develop custom cf tags, it is more common to just use the standard set of tags. The nice part about this is that if you develop something that you want to hand out to multiple people, you can be sure it will work across the board. Cold fusion cons: $$$ Cold fusion server is expensive. If your site is hosted, the cost is passed along to the site owners. Therefore, a cold fusion enhanced site is more expensive to maintain. ASP pros: A hell of a lot of support. If you shake a tree, an ASP developer will most likely fall out. This means if you have a problem, finding the answer is a whole lot easier. It also means there are many custom objects out there that you can add into your projects. Furthermore, it is cheap. The asp engine is free if you are using IIS (or even personal web server for that matter). Cons: Too many flavors. Let's say you are trying to produce something and you find documentation on how to do it on some random site. You copy the code and stick it on your site. You try running it and it doesn't work. Why? Because the other guy has been using some custom object that he hasn't documented. Assuming you are able to figure out what it is, you might still have to pay for this package, which increases your development cost or force you to start over and find a different way to do it. There are other pros and cons of each, but that is what I focus on at least.

Try this: parent.html function changeText(){ window.myframe.document.childform.mytext.value="hello" }

child.html

I guess I stand corrected. I'd love to see the code that can do that...Could you post it? In any case, it will still be more efficient if you store the users' data on your server so the user can work with his or her information on multiple computers. This is also more secure because then you don't need to worry about other people getting access to someone else's information, which sounds like the problem you are trying to fix.

Actually, that isn't the way it works. Gmail stores the user data on their end and passes it along with the web page. Javascript can't store data on the client's computer. It can if you run the script locally, but the activeX component which does it is disabled if you run it off a web server (this is a security measure Microsoft put in place). What I would do is create a database of user information on your site and pass the necessary information in as metadata with the page. It is much more secure and a whole lot easier to deal with. Besides, the user can get his/her information on your site without having to be on the same computer each time.

I use Access to work with several MySql databases by linking tables through the ODBC. First go to http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/odbc/3.51.html[^] to download the ODBC driver for MySql. Create a DSN for the MySql database on your local computer. Open Access, go to File->Get External Data->Link Tables (be sure not to use import, because that will only work locally), and select ODBC in your file type drop down list. Under "Machine Data Sources", select the DSN you created. Select all the tables you wish to work with, and you will get icons for each under your tables list in your access window, except they look like globes instead of tables since they are linked tables. Now that you have the tables set up in access, you can work with them however you want, including queries, forms, reports...whatever.
