LinkList Class (JavaScript, HTML)

Client-side version of LinkList Class (C#, ASP.NET). Works in a similar way:

var links = new WebDeveloperBlog.LinkList();
links.Add("Home", "home.aspx", "Home Page");
links.Add("Page 1", "test.html");
links.Add("Page 2", "page2.aspx");
links.Add("Page 3", "page3.aspx");
// need to set CssClass for 'Inline' and 'Block' types
links.CssClass = "myclass";
// use inline type (surround with span tags)
links.ListType = "Inline";
document.write("<p>Inline ListType<\/p>" + links.ToString());
// use block type (surround with div tags)
links.ListType = "Block";
// change separator
links.Separator = " | ";
document.write("<p>Block ListType<\/p>" + links.ToString());
// use ordered list type (surround with ol, li tags)
links.ListType = "OrderedList";
document.write("<p>OrderedList ListType<\/p>" + links.ToString());
// use unordered list type (surround with ul, li tags)
links.ListType = "UnorderedList";
document.write("<p>UnorderedList ListType<\/p>" + links.ToString());

The code:

if(typeof WebDeveloperBlog != "object") {
 var WebDeveloperBlog = new Object();
}

WebDeveloperBlog.LinkList = function()
{
 // keeps track of the links, not the be modified
 this.Links = new Array();
 this.CssClass = null;
 this.Separator = " > ";
 // ListType can be "Block", "Inline", "UnorderedList" or "OrderedList"
 this.ListType = "UnorderedList";
}
WebDeveloperBlog.LinkList.prototype =
{
 Add : function(text,url,tooltip) {
  if(this.Links) {
   this.Links.push(new Array(text,url,tooltip));
  }
  return new Array(text,url,tooltip);
 },
 ToString : function() {
  var sb = new String();
  if(this.ListType == "UnorderedList" || this.ListType == "OrderedList" ) {
   if(this.ListType == "UnorderedList") {
    sb = sb.concat("<ul");
   } else {
    sb = sb.concat("<ol");
   }
   if(this.CssClass) {
    sb = sb.concat(" class=\"" + this.CssClass + "\"");
   }
   sb = sb.concat(">");
  }
  if (this.CssClass && this.ListType == "Inline") {
   sb = sb.concat("<span class=\"" + this.CssClass + "\">");
  }
  if (this.CssClass && this.ListType == "Block")  {
   sb = sb.concat("<div class=\"" + this.CssClass + "\">");
  }
  for(i=0;i<links.Links.length;i++) {
   if(i!=0 && (this.ListType == "Inline" || this.ListType == "Block")) {
    sb = sb.concat(this.Separator);
   }
   if(this.ListType == "UnorderedList" || this.ListType == "OrderedList" ) {
    sb = sb.concat("<li>");
   }
   if(this.Links[i][1] != location.href) {
    sb = sb.concat("<a href=\"" + this.Links[i][1] + "\"");
    // if a tooltip is defined, add it
    if(this.Links[i][2]) {
     sb = sb.concat(" tooltip=\"" + this.Links[i][2] + "\"");
    }
    sb = sb.concat(">" + this.Links[i][0] + "<\/a>");
   } else {
    sb = sb.concat(this.Links[i][0]);
   }
   if(this.ListType == "UnorderedList" || this.ListType == "OrderedList" ) {
    sb = sb.concat("<\/li>");
   }
  }
  if (this.CssClass && this.ListType == "Inline") {
   sb = sb.concat("<\/span>");
  }
  if (this.CssClass && this.ListType == "Block") {
   sb = sb.concat("<\/div>");
  }
  if (this.ListType == "OrderedList") {
   sb = sb.concat("<\/ol>");
  }
  if (this.ListType == "UnorderedList") {
   sb = sb.concat("<\/ul>");
  }
  return sb;
 }
}

Select box manipulation with jQuery

Basic Excel Spreadsheet Generation (ASP/ASP.NET)

The 'correct' way to generate Excel spreadsheets is through the use of Office Web Components . However, due to the licensing (see MSKB Article ) you cannot use them on a public internet site (as a client license for Office is needed for each user retrieving the document). However, this can be overcome due to the fact that Excel recognises HTML code. You can therefore output HTML that can be opened in Excel: First of all, set the content type and response header to make the browser handle it as an Excel spreadsheet. ASP VBScript: <%@Language="VBScript"%> <% Response.ContentType="application/vnd.ms-excel" Response.AddHeader "content-disposition", "attachment; filename=ExcelFileName" %> ASP JScript: <%@Language="JScript"%> <% Response.ContentType="application/vnd.ms-excel"; Response.AddHeader("content-disposition", "attachment; filename=ExcelFileName"); %
