asp_web_howto thread: Is this interface using asp? pls help


Message #1 by "King Chow" <kingsingchow@h...> on Tue, 17 Apr 2001 15:52:35
hi all,



I am trying to develop something similar to that on this page: 

http://moneycentral.msn.com/investor/finder/customstockspi.asp?

But I don't know what technologies are involved.  This page has a really user friendly query building 

machinism (menu bar such as File, Edit, View functions).  It also lets you save your queries.  I also want to 

how the page allows users to export  their queries into MS Excel.  And how the page has results in that format 

instead of in tables.  



I appreciate if someone can shed some light on this.



Thanks,

King.

Bring up the screen, Right click and choose the View Source. This will 

display the programming code and show you what they are doing.

 I did look at the source code.  I just don't understand this block of code.  Thanks.

I think you're looking at Java.

They are using cab files.  cab files are cabinet files.  Microsoft developed

their own zipping technique much like Winzip.  cab files get unzipped using

the Microsoft software when you purchase it.  Windows operating systems come

on a CD as cab files.  The setup unzips them.  It is their way of preventing

copies.
