Is it possible to instead of say set width to "90%" or "number px;"... do a -10 pixels from left of the window all the time? The reason I need this : I need to put an iframe in middle of my window, right now I put it in a container DIV and I "had" to use table for this to force it in position, since the iframe has "width=100%" "height="100%" so if I don't put it in a table, it'll use the window size as measures instead of its container DIV. Any way around this? More... View All Our Microsft Related Feeds

I've got a class which has a relationship withMembershipUser (in a many-to-one relationship, my class hasMembershipUser has a field/property): class Foo { *** private MembershipUser _user; *** public MembershipUser User { *** ** get { return _user; } *** ** set { _user = user; } *** } } Yet NHibernate wants almost total control when you use elements in your class mapping file. *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** *** The MembershipUser instances are managed by the MembershipProvider (I'm using SqlMembershipProvider) and not NHibernate. ...so how can I include MembershipUsers in my mapping and getNHibernate only to ensure the relationship keys are persisted and notthe MembershipUser class itself?

Sorry bout the abbreviations, but had to put something up there. Here's the situation. How computers are connected to net: -Cable connection from wall to cable modem. -Cable modem to Linksys Wireless Router -USB cord from wireless router to Personal Desktop computer (works fine) -Dad's laptop via wireless network card to router (works fine) -My laptop to wireless router via wireless network card (not working) Weird details bout my laptop (it is a hnd-me-down from computer illiterate dad): -Says there are 2 wireless connections * -Wireless connection (1) IEEE 802.11b Wireless MiniPCI Card 7007 (must be a bult in wireless card) * -Wireless connection (2) My Essentials G Notebook Card - Both wireless cards (1) and (2) say that they have a strong signal, but limmited or no connectivity. -In the "support " tab of Wireless (1), it says this: "the problem has occurred because the network did not assign a network address to the computer." -when click *details in that support tab, I get this: * -Physical Address: *blah *(has one) * -IP Address: blah (has one) * -Subnet Mask: blah (has one) * -Default Gateware: nothing there * -DNS Server: Nothing There * -WINS Server: Nothing there -In the "support " tab of Wireless (1), it says this: the problem has occurred because the network did not assign a network address to the computer. Steps I have already tried: -Made sure that it is set on "obtain IP address and DNS server automatically" -Click on "repair" in the wireless connection (1) properties->support tab where it says "To restart the connection and try to establish full connectivity, click repair. -when I click repair, clears everything until I restart the computer and won't connect to the network at all. -ran winsockxpfix...same thing happened -disabled connection (1) tried everything; disabled connection (2), tried everything -tried using both the wndows wireless software and the software provided by the wirelss card So basically I feel like I am banging my head against the wall here. *Any suggestions would be appreciated. How do I find what type of security is on the router? And how do I find out if there s a password on the network? My mom cannot remember. Also, since my mom's networking is run through USB cord, in her networks, it says LAN line connection and nothing else. Does this mean that the wireless network is set up through my Dad's Laptop? If not, where do I find it on my mom's computer? More... View All Our Microsft Related Feeds

Even the 750 mill settlement could not save it - but we should learn from* history. :( Innovation and* immediately defending your turf against unethcal attempts by other companies to kill you off - are vital to your survival. Microsoft is a great, innovative company, but it was horrible what they tried to do to Netscape - we can not hide from that. Also FireFox* was the lalte innovater - this could have been Netscape. http://blog.netscape.com/2007/12/28/end-of-support-for-netscape-web-browsers/ http://money.cnn.com/2003/05/29/technology/microsoft/index.htm More...

.. is that the music/movies are pretty much irrelevant in terms of what it provides, now that you can buy iTunes stuff via a Touch or iPhone, Forbes thinks Apple will be going for cardless/cashless payments at Starbucks (my worst nightmare, I'll be broke before the end of the year). I guess they could stretch this ever further, public transport would be my personal fave - no more arguing with the bus driver .. So that makes, movies, music, games, iPhone apps, and coffee. I wonder if they do take this approach, how far they could take it given that several use cases for Bluetooth always seem to be focussed on cardless/cashless payment and 'preference' info. *Whilst BT is obviously capable the device that is prevalent enough always seems to be missing. Of course it isn't without its downside http://ms-os.com/Themes/AlmostGlass/images/icon-quote.gif The article wrote: U.S. Patent Application #20070291710 describes a device that also would keep tabs on where a user shops and what he or she likes to buy.
