Hi I am new to this and need some help.

1. I have dhtml popup in the webpage, is there some way to minamize a javascript popup to a corner of the screen.

2. this thing ( the web desktop) i want to be customizable, I think this needs to be done with an ASP portal, am I right about that? have any recomendations?

thanks in advance

1/ yes, just set the window properties to suit

2/ No idea. It will depend on server technology, what "it" actually is and how "it" needs to work.

I am on a MS Hosting, But ASP might be to constricting, I might move to a linix host.

The popups I was talking about are not browser windows but rather like these:

This is not the window I am using, but the coding is simaler to mine.

Ok I found the code to minamize the windows :-)

Just cant seem to understand how this whole thing works with user customizable pages ???????

It would probably help if we knew more about what you are asking about.

Guessing isn't a good idea.

I am creating a web desktop. In HTML, javascript, Java, and flash. In the next version AJAX. the backround needs to be changable, there will be widgets (clocks, notepads, news feeds...) that users will need to be able to add, and delete.

OK is there any way to automate account creation on your websit, then when an account is created a folder is created with there personal web page, all pasword protected, then when the person logs in they are directed to there web page?

Yep
just need to create a entry in the database with all the appropriate details

How would I go about dooing that????

And there was me thinking you were coding this project!

No idea, are you still on ASP (we have an ASP forum)

what database type are you using?
what database management tools have you got?
do you need to create the tables from code?
have you designed a DB schema for the project?
can you code in ASP using ADO?

Well I am coding this thing, I have never programed server side. but then again 2 weeks ago I dident even know how to programe HTML and now I am wrighting my own java script without any assistence.

I have a SQL database.

I have code changing code in my site, so insted of saving the changes to a persons page on my site. It changes the code, that is the reason I am looking for a way to automate folder creation with the default files in it. Cant say much moor then that ( it would give away to meany details)

Give too much away??
Man, anyone who can answer your question is already going to know exactly what is needed to accomplish the project.

anyway
A function to create a folder

Function CreateFolder(FolderName)
Dim objFSO 
Set objFSO= Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
'Create the folder
If objFSO.FolderExists(foldername) then
  CreateFolder = False
  else
  objFSO.CreateFolder(foldername)
  CreateFolder = True
End If
End Function

A function to open a template and replace a placeholder with a value.

function SetDefaultDoc()
dim Body
Body = ReadText("/templates/def_inc.asp")
Body = Replace(Body,"[catid]",strNewCatID)
WriteFile(body)
end function

A function to create a default document in a folder.
(used in the function above)

function WriteFile(strText)
'write default doc file
dim objFSO, OpenFile
set objFSO = CreateObject ("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
set OpenFile = objFSO.CreateTextFile(Server.MapPath( strFolder) & "/" & DefaultDoc ,true)
OpenFile.Write strText
OpenFile.Close
set OpenFile = Nothing
set objFSO = Nothing
end function

Notes:
DefaultDoc is a constant that is a string value for the file name (default.asp)
strFolder is a variable set in the calling page for the folder where the files is to be created
