| Hosting performance |
| It seems difficult to find any accurate data on hosting. I am looking at another dedicated server at the moment for a client. There are forums and hosting comparison sites with peoples opinions, usually negative, as who actively goes on to publicise the great host they are with, so it is hard to find an true picture. One site I did find useful and interesting was http://host-tracker.com which provides response times on your website. |
| Asp.Net Login control in IE8 |
| The asp.net login control in IE8 doesn't look great. The spacing between the username and password boxes is no existant. Two ways of sorting it: 1. Convert it to a template and insert your own css 2. Using the following in the code behind Protected Sub Page_Init(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Init CType(aspnet_login.FindControl('UserName'), TextBox).Attributes.Add('style', 'margin-bottom: 6px; margin-left: 2px;') CType(aspnet_login.FindControl('Password'), TextBox).Attributes.Add('style', 'margin-left: 2px;') End Sub Alternatively Microsoft could update the .net framework?!? |
| 'cannot create file' download error in safari on MAC |
| When you download in safari on the MAC you can get an error message 'cannot create file'. Many posts mention permissions on the folder you are downloading to but the problem I had was that the harddrive didn't have enough space for the file being downloaded. When I made some space the error went away and the file downloaded. Good error message Apple! |
