Full screen Overlay using CSS only- CSS Only Modal Popup

Published on: 11:11 PM 0

Full screen Overlay Effects 

When you search for a solution for fullscreen overlay, most website provide solutions using JavaScript or jQuery. The following solution is using only CSS and not using any JavaScript of jQuery. Here we are going to create a pop-up window that overlays an existing html page and disabling all links and bringing into focus on the pop up window.






 Sometimes you need your entire browser window with a black tint in the background and make a popup at the center of the screen. Normally this technique is used for displaying a login window without moving from existing page or displaying a video, when a user clicks on a link or button in a web page.



Add this to your Page

 <style>
        .button {
            width: 150px;
            padding: 10px;
            background-color: #2d57f8;
            box-shadow: -8px 8px 10px 3px rgba(0,0,0,0.2);
            font-weight: bold;
            text-decoration: none;
        }

        #cover {
            position: fixed;
            top: 0;
            left: 0;
            background: rgba(0,0,0,0.6);
            z-index: 5;
            width: 100%;
            height: 100%;
            display: none;
        }

        #popupScreen {
            height: 380px;
            width: 340px;
            margin: 0 auto;
            position: relative;
            z-index: 10;
            display: none;
            background: url(login.png) no-repeat;
            border: 5px solid #cccccc;
            border-radius: 10px;
            background-color:rgb(245,245,245);
        }

            #popupScreen:target, #popupScreen:target + #cover {
                display: block;
                opacity: 2;
            }

        .cancel {
            display: block;
            position: absolute;
            top: 3px;
            right: 2px;
            background: rgb(245,245,245);
            color: black;
            height: 30px;
            width: 35px;
            font-size: 30px;
            text-decoration: none;
            text-align: center;
            font-weight: bold;
        }
    </style>

HTML Code

place anywhere 

  <div align="center"><a href="#popupScreen" class="button">Click here for Dialog</a> </div>
                    <div id="popupScreen">
                        <a href="#" class="cancel">&times;</a>

                   
                        <h2>Hi there</h2>
                    </div>
                    <div id="cover"></div>

Prepare web.config for HTML5 and CSS3 HTTP Error 404.3 - Not Found

Published on: 8:43 AM 0

HTTP Error 404.3 - Not Found
The page you are requesting cannot be served because of the extension configuration. If the page is a script, add a handler. If the file should be downloaded, add a MIME map.
The problem is that the IIS doesn’t know how to serve these new files unless we tell it how. This can be easily done in the web.config’s <system.webServer> section by adding the following snippet:

<staticContent>
    <mimeMap fileExtension=".mp4" mimeType="video/mp4" />
    <mimeMap fileExtension=".m4v" mimeType="video/m4v" />
    <mimeMap fileExtension=".ogg" mimeType="video/ogg" />
    <mimeMap fileExtension=".ogv" mimeType="video/ogg" />
    <mimeMap fileExtension=".webm" mimeType="video/webm" />

    <mimeMap fileExtension=".oga" mimeType="audio/ogg" />
    <mimeMap fileExtension=".spx" mimeType="audio/ogg" />

    <mimeMap fileExtension=".svg" mimeType="image/svg+xml" />
    <mimeMap fileExtension=".svgz" mimeType="image/svg+xml" />

    <remove fileExtension=".eot" />
    <mimeMap fileExtension=".eot" mimeType="application/vnd.ms-fontobject" />
    <mimeMap fileExtension=".otf" mimeType="font/otf" />
    <mimeMap fileExtension=".woff" mimeType="font/x-woff" />
</staticContent>

The above snippet incl

udes support for most video, audio and font file types used by HTML5 and CSS3.

Get language and country from a browser in ASP.NET

Published on: 8:36 AM 0

Resolve the culture

Splitted the functionality up into two methods. The first one resolves the CultureInfo based on the browsers language.

public static CultureInfo ResolveCulture()

{

  string[] languages = HttpContext.Current.Request.UserLanguages;

  if (languages == null || languages.Length == 0)

    return null;

  try

  {

    string language = languages[0].ToLowerInvariant().Trim();

    return CultureInfo.CreateSpecificCulture(language);

  }

  catch (ArgumentException)

  {

    return null;

  }

}

Resolve the country

The next method uses the ResolveCulture()method above to create a RegionInfo object. The RegionInfo contains all the country information needed such as ISO code, EnglishName, NativeName and DisplayName.

public static RegionInfo ResolveCountry()

{

  CultureInfo culture = ResolveCulture();

  if (culture != null)

    return new RegionInfo(culture.LCID);

  return null;

}

Best way to check if a Data Table has a null (SQL) value in it

Published on: 10:04 AM 0

Hostgator Offers

 Check Whole table

If you want to check if a null value exists in the table you can use this method:

public static bool HasNull(this DataTable table)
{
    foreach (DataColumn column in table.Columns)
    {
        if (table.Rows.OfType<DataRow>().Any(r => r.IsNull(column)))
            return true;
    }

    return false;
}

and use 

table.HasNull(); 

 where ever you need

 Checking Specific column

Compare the value of the column to the DBNull.Value value to filter and manage null values in whatever way you see fit.

foreach(DataRow row in table.Rows)
{
    object value = row["ColumnName"];
    if (value == DBNull.Value)
        // do something
    else
        // do something else
}

Datetime format Issue String was not recognized as a valid DateTime C# ASP .Net

Published on: 9:03 AM 0

If this issue happens after the website is uploaded to server and no problem at your local computer, the cause of error is the date format difference of your system and your server

Mostly the error happens for month

consider a date "29/09/2014 20:20:00"

Usually this error occurs at Convert.ToDateTime(DateTimeInStringFormat);

My local computer consider '29' as day and my server consider '29' as a month.

ie. at my local server date format is 'dd/MM/yyyy HH:mm:ss'

and at server it is 'MM/dd/yyyy HH:mm:ss'

There is lot of working solutions i found in a search. I am listing few of them

Sol Using Parse Exact

DateTime dt = DateTime.ParseExact(dr["dateCreated"].ToString().Trim(), 

 "M/d/yyyy h:mm:ss tt", CultureInfo.InvariantCulture);

//dr["dateCreated"] returns  date from database

Sol Using TryParse

DateTime date4;
string dateString = @"20/05/2012";
bool result = DateTime.TryParse(dateString,out date4); 

the parsing fails, but it will not throw error, rather it returns  

false indicating that the parsing failed.

Sol Using appropriate culture (I got this working)

string dateString = @"20/05/2012";
DateTime date2 = Convert.ToDateTime(dateString,
 System.Globalization.CultureInfo.GetCultureInfo("hi-IN").DateTimeFormat);
