I'm writing a specification document for a whizz-bang Web 2.0 application, and I want to make sure that the client is not mislead into thinking that the jQuery animation / AJAX bits will be smooth for any visitor on their dodgy old DX-66. I considered taking the Firefox 3 requirements (Pentium 500MHz, 128MB RAM) but that isn't going to ...
Does anyone know of a simple web app that supports running ant tasks? Alternatively it could run command line programs. I need to allow the user to choose parameters for running the ant task. I effectively want a web interface to run the ant task and provide any parameters. I can write one but this is generic enough that it seems lik...
When I try opening a file it tries to use "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\DevServer\9.0" as the base directory. How can I get the working directory of the web application? ...
I used to understand "beta" as "feature-complete". Web applications rarely are ever feature-complete and rather evolve slowly with time. So does "beta" have any specific meaning with them or is it just a gimmick? ...
I have a Java based web-application and a new requirement to allow Users to place variables into text fields that are replaced when a document or other output is produced. How have others gone about this? I was thinking of having a pre-defined set of variables such as : @BOOKING_NUMBER@ @INVOICE_NUMBER@ Then when a user enters some t...
In a fictitious web application ... The user clicks a link The server starts to prepare the response, but it takes several seconds The user cancels the page load What happens to the request? Does the server continue to prepare the response? Does the response arrive to the browser? ...
What do you usually use to connect to a Web Service when you are developing a Java project? There are different API-s that can do the job. From different books and tutorials I have read about: JAX-WS, JAXB, JAXM, JAXR, JAX-RPC, Axis ans so on. I'm interested in what exactly are you using and how much? Take this as a survey if you wish ...
I'm hoping to tap into some collective experience here, so What (if any) utility tables, or common fields do you always include in your database design? An example is that I always include an App_Errors table to store any uncaught exception information in, and an App_Audit table which stores all the edit information. I've mooted (in my...
I found a great web app for testing regexes as-you-type, but have lost it in the months since I last use it. Searching through here, I've found http://www.rubular.com/ which is useful, but not what I found originally. Today, I found a few testing tools through google, but most often they are slow, don't allow you to test as-you-type, or ...
I have an ASP.NET 2.0 website created in VS2008 and I need to migrate it to a web application. I have not had much luck so far. How do I figure out how to do this? ...
The story: I been googling for some way of displaying computer graphics over the web using acceleration from video cards (no software renders). I know it is possible to write and activeX module for IE but that is not a complete solution as that would alinate a good amount of users (firefox + macOS fans). Here is an example of more less ...
So I'm creating some HTML using javascript based on where the user clicks on the page. On page load the script replaces an empty div with a ul and some data. The user clicks on that data to receive more and so on. Now when the user navigates off the page and then hits the back button to go back to the page, IE displays a blank page with ...
I develop and maintain small intranet web apps(JSP and Resin). Some users takes so much time to complete the forms that, when they submit, they lose all their input data because of session timeout. Currently I prolonged session timeout to 30 minutes and display count-down clock till session timeout on top of the page, but, I think th...
I'm one of the main developers on a complex web application. As we start to gain more users, we need a better method of managing customer support. Currently, we just have a support email box that someone goes through and answers questions, or forwards them off to other team members who can help. But it's getting too big to manage. Ideal...
I have written a script that goes through a bunch of files and snips out a portion of the files for further processing. The script creates a new directory and creates new files for each snip that is taken out. I have to now evaluate each of the files that were created to see if it is what I needed. The script also creates an html index...
I'm building an ASP.NET web application, and all of my strings are stored in a resource file. I'd like to add a second language to my application, and ideally, I'd like to auto-detect the user's browser language (or windows language) and default to that, instead of making them choose something besides English. Currently, I'm handling all...
I am using the Model-View-Presenter pattern for a web page. Should the presenter be aware of Session or should only the view be aware of it? I guess what I am getting at is that concepts like Session are very related to the architecture of the view so should they be limited to use by the view? Otherwise what would happen if I wanted to ...
My web application allows users to upload images of items they are planning on selling. I'm trying to find a good compromise between having the images large enough and detailed enough for buyers to get an idea of the condition of the item and having the images small enough so that they don't slow down the site substantially. In additio...
Hi, I need to create a web application installer. Install Shield seems like overkill, is there something that can reliably install a web application (IIS setup + sql server db setup). Suggestions? ...
I have a requirement to allow a user of this ASP.NET web application to upload a specifically formatted Excel spreadsheet, fill arrays with data from the spreadsheet, and bind the arrays to a Oracle stored procedure for validation and insertion into the database. I must be able to read the data from the Excel spreadsheet without being a...
