Iframes and jQuery - Working with an iframe's parent

As I stated in my last post about iframe's and jQuery, the load event was only fired once in Internet Explorer, so this may be a problem in some situations (for instance, when you go to a new page in the iframe (which is the only reason I can think of for using one instead of includes)). You can put the code into the iframe and work with the page that contains it instead. This actually may be more desirable as it is simpler and works in more browsers (Firefox, Internet Explorer, Opera 8.54+ tested)

$( function() {
   var p = parent;
   $("a").click( function() {
       p.$("#myinput").val("Anchor clicked: " + this.href);
       return false;
   })
})

Hello Sam,

Was looking for another way to contact you but didn't find one. I am using your jquery-select code and was wondering how hard would it be for you to add a function to check for the existence of a value in the current list?

Take care,
John

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"); %

The HTML Agility Pack is an HTML parser for .NET, supporting XPATH and XSLT parsing. Basically the HTML equivalent of XmlDocument .
