i have a datalist, which will contain a lot of entries, but when i select one, it scrolls to the top of the page. is there a way to automatically scroll down to the place where the edit box is so people can view it quickly?

i have a datalist with text bound at runtime, but when it runs, even if i set a length, the text stays on one line and goes beyond that length. How do i get the text (without spaces) to go onto a new line once it gets to the end? thanks!

sometimes you can send it as an email to a special address, but that might be better when the site is for them to send text msgs to you.

I have a datalist on an aspx page, which is bound to a dataview (which gets its data from an xml file through a function i created). Showing the data works fine, but when i create an edit template where the text is displayed in a text box and i try to change the text in the text box to update the xml file with the update command, the text reverts back to what it originally was. Does anybody know how to change the text? Thanks! Eric

for free hosting, you can get the educational package from brinkster (http://www.brinkster.com).

is there a way to make controls (eg. hyperlink) repeat within a repeater control?

i have a radio buttonlist, which is populated from an xml file at runtime so sometimes, the text of an entry is repeated one or more times. in those cases, when you selected a repeated entry, it selects the first one with that text. how do i stop it from going to the first entry?

how do you sort a dataview column with numbers so they're sorted numerically, 1, 2, 3... rather than 1, 11, 12, 13, 2...?

Index was out of range. Must be non-negative and less than the size of the collection. Parameter name: index

you could requests and then immediately put the request value into a session or local variable & redirect to the page w/o any request strings.

i'm not sure where your code is, but after a postback, what you want it to do then should go back to the page_load sub. it's really confusing, but try that.

i found this on MSDN: "When using both, explicitly declared columns will be rendered first, followed by the automatically generated columns. Automatically generated columns are not added to the Columns collection." (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpref/html/frlrfsystemwebuiwebcontrolsdatagridclasscolumnstopic.asp) Mine are automatically generated so how do i make those invisible?

the only thing is maybe i'm putting it in the wrong place... here's where i've been putting it: datagrid1.datasource = showdata() datagrid1.databind datagrid1.columns(1).visible = false (i get an error here)

but it doesn't! ive tried it tons of times & it can see the column created @ design time (w/ the select button) but if i have it tell me the number of columns in the grid, it only sees 1. it shows the other ones but i can't make them invisible.

invisible bound column anybody know how to make a column bound at runtime invisible because the above suggestion didn't work?
