Hi all, I was hoping anybody out there would have a code sample to generate an excel document with data that was pulled from the datbase. The user will be clicking on a "generate excel report" button that will call the javascript function from a JSP page. Any help is much appreciated.Thanks, JP

Hi all, Real dumb question: What's the difference between a text editor and an Integrated Development Environment (IDE)? Thanks, JP

thanks, i really appreciate it!JP

Hi, I just had a question concerning my Table at the top of my page. This table is being used for my site logo and login section at the top and it spans the entire page.. <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%" bgcolor="red"><tr><td width="234" valign="top"></td></tr></table>there is a "gap" between the top of my table and the browser, leaving me whitespace. Anyone know how to get rid of it?Thanks in advance, JP

Hi all, I worked on this for awhile, and i just can't seem to get it right. I have 3 tables, all with the same column names on each table: EMAIL, LASTNAME, FIRSTNAME, SIGNEDIN. the last column, SIGNEDIN contains a value of NULL or 'YES' depending on who signed in. The first 3 column values are the same for all 3 tables.I'm trying to use a join to get collect data on the email address of the people that have a value of NULL for the SIGNEDIN column from all 3 tables. now with this new list of people, i'm going to compare it to another table (TABLE_FOUR) that contains the same EMAIL column list and see if the SIGNED_IN column value of NULL matches the SIGNED_IN FIELD in TABLE_FOUR by email address. Sorry if this sounds confusing, but any help is much appreciated..Thanks, JP

Hi, Anyone know of any good IDE's I can use out there for free that'll recognize ASP and/or PHP? Thanks, JP

damn cron, that's pretty sweet...

Thanks all for the help..ill definitely check it out...so, the above mentioned IDE's can also recognize server side scripting langs as well? ASP, PHP?

Sweet, thanks, i'll check it out..the interface looks like notepad on steroids..i was hoping to use something that allowed you to view your folders (menu on left side).....i think eclipse can support other languages, just need to install the right plugins...any thoughts on dreamweaver MX? Thanks again for the help...JP

Hi, Just wondering if there's a good IDE out there (besides Textpad) that'll recognize HTML, javascript, ASP, or PHP....trying to figure out which would be best..Also, not sure if anyone uses Eclipse, but does eclipse recognize any of the above? Thanks in advance, JP

Thank you for your help. So basically a web portal is jsut a launching point to another site? I'm confused, why can't a person just use a ref link to do that? would that be similar to a portlet within a portal? Thanks, JP

Hi all, Is there anyone out there that can explain what portal technology is and how it is used in web development? I know this question is very vague...Basically I am trying to build a legit business website with email subscription, a database with member profile information (biography)...The site is up and running, but very basic...i wanted to use PHP/MYSQL, but i'm not sure where portal technology fits in or if i even need to use it?? Please help, Thanks in advance...JP

Calvin, Thank you very much for your response....I guess my main question is how do you know WHEN you're supposed to use a server side scripting language such as PHP, ASP, etc...? for example, let's say you were to build a home website for company xyz. The site was to consist of a home page, company overview, employees, products, a page to buy their products, store locators...etc....when would server side scripting come into play? I hope i didn't confuse you with my jargon. Thanks again, JohnCP

Hi all, I am very new at web developing, I currently work as a Java Programmer, and am extremely interested in learning how to create dynamic web pages and to hopefully create some business for myself...Just had a few questions on creating thin client apps:1. How do I know when to use a server side scripting language in my code? i.e. PHP, ASP integrated with my HTML code...2. What are the basic tools I need on my laptop to start developing server side web apps? I apologize if my use of terms doesn't make much sense, but i'm hoping you guys know what i'm trying to ask...basically, i'm just trying to get my foot off the ground..any advice would be helpful and much appreciated...Thanks again, JohnCP

Hey all, I'm sure this topic has been discussed before, but my curiosity has gotten the best of me on this topic. I have just started a new job as a Java Developer, and lately the whole outsourcing craze has gone up to a whole new level. Where do you guys see IT programming within the US in the future? I am asking since I am having thoughts about switching fields? Thanks, JCP

yes, selacius, you are correct, that is my issue, the table not being at the very top of the screen. Your modification is perfect, however, is using CSS the only method to solve this problem, or is there a way to fix via HTML alone? just curious, Thanks, JP

Hi, I've searched everywhere and could not resolve this..apparently, there are gaps from my table and my browser. Also, I have a text gap in my middle table cell from the top. I have tried to get rid of cellspacing but that doesn't seem to resolve the issue. I am sorry I was not able to provde a screen shot of my problem, but the code is below. The "gap" problem resides at the top of my table. I'm thinking it could be a default header issue? Thanks in advance, John Park <HTML><TITLE>Welcome to EDMTalk!
