Hi. I have a quite troublesome issue which I didn't find a good solution for yet. I allow caching of all my application static files (JS, CSS and images) by browser for performance. Problem is, when I'm doing upgrades, the users still use the old version from their cache, which often breaks the application, and requires clearing the c...

I am a non-web programmer, but I am getting now more interested in web technologies. I know that HTML and JavaScript are today the fundamental technologies for web applications, but it also seems that actually they were not created strictly for that. (HTML was created for web pages, JavaScript to make them a bit dynamic). Does it have a...
I would like to create an HTML page that contains a table, where one column is editable by any user (after logging in). (As a bonus, the table should be sortable on any column.) It's sort of like a wiki page, except the users are not supposed to edit wiki source code, but simply modify values in the modifiable column of the table. Are ...
More and more applications are moving to the cloud: Google Docs for productivity apps, Meebo for instant messaging, Gmail for e-mails, Salesforce for CRM, etc. Yet, I've noticed that, unlike their desktop counterparts, very few of those web apps leverage the mouse's "right click". Most of the time, when right clicking in a web app, I g...

By taping into these services developers can provide functionality that would have taken them months ...
I am trying something completely new and decided to try out Webapps on Prism. I started out with the dev center on Mozilla on creating the very first bundle. It worked the first time, but once I added the other files to construct the entire bundle, Prism does not recognize my Parameters any more. Even when I tried removing all of the oth...

Hello, The company I work for built and hosts a web app used by our customers and I am interested in creating some kind of external monitoring page (similar to trust.salesforce.com) that users can go to to see the current state of our servers/app. I know there are tons of different 'monitoring' services out there but I want to create th...
Hi, I'm embarking on a new web app we want do do it RESTfully. Now it is time to begin designing the interactions, and something sorta basic about REST has me stumped. I am trying to figure out the best way to mediate the impedance mismatch between REST and OO without falling down the slippery slope of RPC. Let me give a (contrived) e...

Hi all, Background: I'm starting to use Django for the first time, which is also my first foray into web development. I just got stuck on the whole "serving static media" problem. After spending a while looking at all the documentation and StackOverflow questions, I think I understand how it's supposed to work (i.e. MEDIA_ROOT, MEDIA_...

Now I want to build a web site with "user management(user registration, user logon/logout, user settings)" feature, but I don't know what's the quickest way to do this. I need to find a Perl web framework and develop on it or modify some sample web applica...

Also, since the website is dynamic I would like to handle th...

Specifically, we have a few e-commerce customers that we would like to provide detailed monitoring service...
I want to divide my web application into two parts. One part is free, like a demo for people to use. The other part is not; a extension that is paid for but requires authorization and a license to use. My idea is to sell the extension without having it being compromised. Once the extension is sold, the buyer can't upload it to some oth...
