Top of the Page.

<p align="center"><a href="#top"><img src="images/top_arrow.png" border="0" alt="top arrow" title="Go to the top of the page"/></a></p>
This code works in IE and does not work in other browsers. I found that I have to add <div id="top"> </div> on a top of the page.
After I added it works for all browsers. Enjoy world of browsers!

ListView with HyperLink column

Here's my first try to work with a ListView. Before I had never used this control, but in my situation it became very handy. The results on my picture.
Here's a source code

<asp:ListView runat="server" ID="ListView1"
DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1">
<LayoutTemplate>
<table runat="server" id="table1" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">
<tr runat="server" id="itemPlaceholder" ></tr>
</table>
</LayoutTemplate>
<ItemTemplate>
<tr id="Tr1" runat="server">
<td id="Td1" runat="server" valign="top">
<asp:Label ID="Year" runat="server" Text='<%#Eval("year") %>'/>
</td>
<td width="30px"> </td>
<td id="Td2" runat="server">
<asp:Label ID="Title" runat="server"
Text='<%#Eval("title") %>' style="font-weight:bold;" />
</td>
</tr>
<tr id="Tr2" runat="server">
<td> </td>
<td width="30px"> </td>
<td id="Td3" runat="server">
<asp:Label ID="Author" runat="server"
Text='<%#Eval("author") %>'/>
</td>
</tr>
<tr id="Tr3" runat="server">
<td> </td>
<td width="30px"> </td>
<td id="Td4" runat="server">
<asp:Label ID="Journal" runat="server"
Text='<%#Eval("journal") %>'/>
</td>
</tr>
<tr id="Tr4" runat="server">
<td> </td>
<td width="30px"> </td>
<td id="Td5" runat="server">
<asp:HyperLink ID="Link" Target="_blank"
NavigateUrl='<%# Eval("link") %>'
runat="server">Link to the article</asp:HyperLink>
</td>
</tr>
</ItemTemplate>
</asp:ListView>

Most interesting part is a HyperLink column. This feature became very useful for my project and works just fine.

Again Section 508

Today I concentrate on section 508. There are a lot of new and interesting ideas to work on. I'm surprised, how difficult is to satisfy gov requirements. From another side, it's quite good that government takes care of people with vision problems. It's great that more and more people can access Internet and be part of Web community. American government creates a very detailed document to follow. Now I do have more understanding of section 508.

CSS maker

Here's a very useful site for css. I hope everyone will enjoy site capabilities and implements in own projects. Enjoy!

My Sharepoint project.

Within last 2-3 months I try to train myself in SharePoint 2010 to set up a website for my company. This site will serve a very simple goal is to share documents among different committees. I created site for each committee, structured and organized all them. I also set up permissions within the committee for different users. Needless to say, I learned a lot. I started with very simple one site project and ended with multiple sites, multiple libraries and lists SharePoint application. In time it became easy to use SharePoint navigation and all features presented in SharePoint 2010. For now I created a very structured website. Strangely, I did not use any programmatic tools. It was quite enough to use features built in SharePoint by Microsoft. My site was tested by internal users. And… they are OK. First part of my project is over. I’m working towards external users. I need some approval from them. I know, there is a request from some external users to begin to use my SharePoint–site. I hope, they will like it. Also I’m learning FBA (Form-Based Authentication) for SharePoint 2010. I have to implement a custom built login-page for my project. My SharePoint admin is on vacation, and I have plenty of time to learn.
