We are using the Prototype javascript library. So if I want to select an element in the DOM by id I can just use $("theElementID")

Is there a way to select a child element of a parent, where you know the parent id and the child node type? Eg, if I had:

<tr id="someID">
<td><input type="text" /></td>
</tr>

I am finally trying out ASP.NET. I'm using SQL Server Express, with IIS on my local machine running XP. I'm trying to install dash commerce. I have used Management Studio Express to create a database. The problem I'm having is I don't understand this thing about users and logins!

I'm getting an error: "The user is not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection." Question is - how do I create a user for the database, and a login? A step-by-step would be much appreciated!

I'm not hopeful about this, but I may as well ask anyway. Does anyone know if there are any standard specifications for web services that are meant for online shops to talk to each other.

I might be a bit slow on the take-up here, but I've recently come across Google Apps and the way it lets you manage your email for your own domain via gmail.

Gmail has some advantages: an excellent spam filter, nice web-mail, pretty reliable, loads of storage space, IMAP access, and it's all free! The best bit though is that you can send all of your email at your domain to gmail. Your email address will still be you@yourdomain.com.

I've only recently come across Silverlight. It looks very promising indeed - sort of like Flash but I'd say very different behind the scenes, allowing you to create very powerful applications which run in the browser. If you're interested look at a showcase of apps (you'll probably need Silverlight installed).
