i have html.. calls cgi ..(using python).. through cgi i wanna be able to display a file back on html

this is what i'm trying

print '''<button type="button" onclick='window.location.href="file.txt"'>new</button>'''

without cgi.. just in windows and notepad this works fine..

i feel it can't be a cgi problem as other variables and all are getting printed fine through cgi back on html

thanks in advance for your help

Following proper new-person-at-a-forum etiquette, I've searched for an answer to my question in the archives, and have been unable to find one. So, here goes.

My webapp is uses a bit of asynchronous Javascript and CGI to allow users to change parameters in a serverside povray script (say, colors, positions, textures, etc) to allow users to create custom car designs. The server renders the images realtime and sends them back to the client's browser. What should be the hard part (all of this asynchronous javascript and CGI stuff), I'm having no trouble with. I am having trouble, however, with the scrollbar inputs needed for moving things around (without making users have to type in coordinates).

I attempted to do my scrollbars with overflowing DIVs, such as:

<DIV CLASS="scrollbar" STYLE="width: 230px;" ID="frequency_scroll" onScroll="change_scroll('frequency', 0, 50, 2, true);"><DIV STYLE="width: 2000px;">&nbsp;</DIV></DIV>

Where class scrollbar is:

.scrollbar
{
overflow: auto;
overflow-x: scroll;
overflow-y: hidden;
font-size: 11px;
margin-top: -6px;
}

To break it down, we're creating an outer div that forces a horizontal scrollbar, and an inner div that makes it wide enough that you can actually scroll it. There are several hacks in this code trying to minimize the annoying phenominon that I can't seem to get around: spacing between scrollbars. I've been testing in two versions of firefox for Linux, one older and one newer, although eventually I'm going to need this to be crossplatform.

If I leave out the nbsp in the inner div, in one version of firefox, the scrollbars vanish altogether; it seems to insist that there be content inside. When there is content, however, the scrollbar shifts down on the page significantly to make room for the line with the nbsp, making the scrollbars very spread out and the page very long. My first solution was margin-top: -20px in the scrollbar div; however, the invisible spot it reserves for the line that has the nbsp in it prevents you from accessing the scrollbar above it (and z-indices don't seem to make it accessible). Only the bottommost scrollbar in a group works when you do that, as it's the only one that doesn't have an invisible line of text blocking it. I tried javascript to prevent the user from getting focus on the invisible line, but that didn't help.

I then tried shrinking the font size down, hoping the height occupied by the invisible line would shrink. Unfortunately, when you drop the font size below the height of the scrollbar, the scrollbar disappears for some reason, and there seems to be nothing I can do to force it to stay. I've also tried alternatives, such as scaled invisible images inside the scrollbar div; no luck. Firefox seems to simply refuse to draw the scrollbar on the div unless it can have an invisible area above it of equal or greater size in comparison to the scrollbar itself. The above code -- a font size of 11px and a margin-top of -6 -- seems the closest I can space the bars (about one scrollbar's height between each of them)

I'm trying to figure out what my options are here, and right now, all I'm seeing as possibiltiies is to write my own code in Javascript to generate scrollbars made of inset/outset DIVs and lots of mouse event captures. And I have a feeling that will get ugly.

Anyone have any ideas?

The following common code is not working in Firefox (3.0.11). It works in Safari (4.02) and IE7. When I say not working, I mean that when I click the submit button, the address does not change to the form processing url:

Code:

<!-- The data encoding type, enctype, MUST be specified as below -->
<form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="uploader.php" method="POST">
    <!-- MAX_FILE_SIZE must precede the file input field -->
    <input type="hidden" name="MAX_FILE_SIZE" value="30000" />
    <!-- Name of input element determines name in $_FILES array -->
    Send this file: <input name="mp3file" type="file" />
    <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Send File" />
</form>

The file uploader.php does nothing, it is blank, I'm merely trying to establish communication. Once again, the code functions in IE and Safari so I dont think this is PHP related.

Hi guys, this is my first post an ive only started to use HTML, PHP and mySQL so here goes.

The problem I am having is that i want a single line table to duplicate more lines of code when an onClick button is pressed. it basically goes

Staff name Wage hours worked
I:::::::I I:::::::::::::I I:::::::::::::::::I IButtonI

When the button is pressed i want the form table to change to
Staff name Wage hours worked
I:::::::I I:::::::::::::I I:::::::::::::::::I
I:::::::I I:::::::::::::I I:::::::::::::::::I IButtonI

and so on. I am storing staff name etc as an array so i can easily calculate totals. Is there a way to do this dynamically without having to show / hide or else using DOM?

Any help appreciated!

I have a project written in ASP.NET under Visual Studio 2005 with C#. I am also using Infragistics objects for .NET Advantage 2007.

In my page to attach resources to a record I have written a browser and am displaying previously chosen resources here. But when I click the upload button the page opens a new window (which is not a dialog window, but a normal one) which is exactly the same as my dialog window.

How can this possibly happen? Can anyone help me?
