Are there any opinions on whether or not it is bad design to reuse a Form or Control in a WinForms .NET application by giving it multiple modes? I often find myself wanting to do this. I'll have some UI that needs to be used in multiple places and instead of reusing the code, I'll give the form a mode that determines things like what tex...
I want to make a CSS form with multiple textbox/label combinations on a single line. Most examples I see show each line getting a separate form field. For example, I'd like Last Name and First Name textboxes on one line and Phone Number on a second line. ...
Hello there, Because of strange cross domain AJAX problems, causing AJAX requests to fail when not using www.(the PHP handler communicating with the request is given in a relative path, so it can't be an address issue or something - that's what this question is about though), I have forced www. using .htaccess : #enable rewrite engine ...

I have one page form done with Spring MVC. User has to register first and I would like the form to be saved automatically so user can come later to finalize it. Traditional form submission with a timer is not what I'm looking for. Instead, I am planning to use some ajaxy way to send fields to the server at each onFocus event. Any sugges...
Say I want to open a new form.. TestForm test = new TestForm(); What is the good way to close it? More precisely, is only calling close() ok? Should I use the using() {} so dispose() is called ? And finally, suppose there is a dialog that should have only one instance of a dialog opened, is there a well "known" pattern? I've got di...
I'm using Visual Studio 2005 and drop down box has 3 drop down styles 'simple', 'dropdown' and 'dropdown list'. My drop down box doesn't allow the user to enter a value it contains a fixed number of selectable items. I've been setting the style to 'drop down list' as this doesn't allow editing but I noticed that Microsoft uses 'drop down...
I am starting this web app project (asp.net mvc) It's a document-based system, such that nearly each web page is a model of an official printed form (and users sometimes should be able to produce prints).

Is there a W3C / standards way to disable browser auto-complete on sensi...
I know that xhtml doesn't support nested form tags and I have already read other answers here in stackoverflow regarding this subject, but I still haven't figured out an elegant solution to the problem. Some say you don't need it and that they can't think of a scenario were this would be needed. Well, personally I can't think of a sce...

For example, the field is <%= f.select :have_children, [ ["Yes", 0"], ["No", 1] ] %> Whenever I select "No" and then edit the form again, it sho...
Hi all, I have what should be a fairly simple ASP.NET question, and one I thought I had found a workaround for in the past, but this time I'm having no end of bother trying to get a working solution for it. I have an ASP.NET page with a number of input controls and a series of form validators for them. I wish the page to have separate...

Hi All! I recently used jquery and the form validation plugin on a form we're testing at our community college: www.mchenry.edu/parentorientation Right off the bat, (if viewed with FF, Opera, Safari, etc.) when you click submit w/o entering any values, you get some nice error messages in the form, the intended effect. However, if yo...
I'll start a new project, that will include forms whose inputs and their types (textbox, checkbox etc), Validation rules are defined in DB. I have to choose one of the frameworks for Form Creation, Form Validation, Edit/Insert Forms but I'm stuck. I doubt MVC will make handling Parent-Child relationship for Controls difficult. And altho...
