I am using PdfBox in Java to extract text from PDF files. Some of the input files provided are not valid and PDFTextStripper halts on these files. Is there a clean way to check if the provided file is indeed a valid PDF? ...
I have a pop-up modal that is displayed as soon as anyone visits a page (on page load). The modal is an agreement they must accept to continue. The problem is, when they click accept, it triggers all the client side validation, displaying all the error messages. I obviously don't want this to happen as the user hasn't even gotten a ch...

Let's say I'm building a web application whose user pages can be found at http://example.com/NAME. What's the best way to make sure the username doesn't conflict with a reserved word (e.g. 'about', 'contact', etc.)? I can think of two ways: Maintain a list somewhere in my code. This is great and all, but means I have another piece of c...

I've put together a very simple test - file name is aTET3.aspx: <%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="aTET3.aspx.cs" Inherits="aTET3" %> <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> ...
I have a web app that requires a user to have an account. This user can then vote 'once' on a specific item. However, some users are signing up for lots of accounts to 'game' the system. Does anyone have any ideas how you can restrict this type of thing? Could I restrict number of signups per day per IP address? (what are problems with...
I recently realized that some countries display floating point numbers with different comma/period notation. ie. we would have 12,500.34, and some countries would list it as 12.500,34 This may not be a problem with display, but what about text input? For example, I imagine that if I had a decimal type and displayed it in a label, that...
When I change ddl.Visible=true(it gets changed on partial postback/updatepanel from another form element event)the RequiredFieldValidator will not fire? NOTE: This is not a question on how to use the RequiredFieldValidator in a normal circumstance. My form has cascading dropdowns that are all dynamically built with their visibility tog...
I am creating a Category model and using the awesome_nested_set plugin (a replacement for acts_as_nested_set) to deal with the hierarchy. With awesome_nested_set, objects are created, then saved, and then placed within the set. As well, lft, rgt and parent_id are attr_protected so they cannot be written to directly. I am running into tw...
I'm using django for a web-magazine with subscriber-content. when a user purchases a subscription, the site will create a validation key, and send it to the user email address. The validation key would be added to a list of "valid keys" until it is used. What is the best method for creating a simple yet unique key? Can someone suggest...

I have TextBox which should only contain a valid integer. It’s validated using a custom ValidationRule. The problem I am experiencing is that when the TextBox.Text is invalid, say “3a”, and I type another “a”, then the TextBox’s attached property Validation.HasError changes from TRUE -> FALSE -> TRUE. My software reacts whenever the Vali...
On a HTML page I have an inputbox that has a 'watermark' on it when it is empty. (eg: "enter text here..."). Kind of like this: http://digitalbush.com/projects/watermark-input-plugin/ - but custom written. The problem is that I can't figure out how to validate this field with the jQuery validation plugin (http://docs.jquery.com/Plugins/...

The schema viewer for the .config file...
