My web site uses 16 x 16 pixel icons (stored on the server as png files). I'd like to provide functionality for users of the site to edit these icons. My site already uses jQuery and jQuery UI, and I'm familiar with these, but any suggestions would be welcome. EDIT It seems that this is harder than I thought. I think I'm going to hold ...
Has anyone had any experience of this? Is it easy? I know very little C, but all I want to do is package the web app as a native app. Is that allowed by Apple anyway? Thanks! ...
I am in a web scripting class and our teacher is very strict on the guidelines of the assignment, as he has scripts that grade our work. With that being said we are allowed to use only two forms for our assignment, one for logging in (form 1) and one for submitting data to be entered into a database (form 2). My instructions say: A us...

I m not familiar with web realted stuff so i want to know Is it possible to do such a thing (currently it's a console application take input from txt file/cmd line)....
My web application needs to call a .NET assembly which seems to me that allocates "a lot" of memory for a web application (perhaps I'm wrong, that's why I'm asking). I already call this assembly from my desktop application and, with the help of Task Manager, I realize that it consumes about 60MB when it runs (it is fast though: it take...
Hi everyone, I'm designing a new web application and I'm aware that the process of registration (creating a profile) is really frustrating for the users (also to me) - everywhere we go, people should register. Some may even stop using your site, if you force them to register. The problem is that, I really need my users to be registered ...
Hey all, I was wondering how big companies tend to modularize components on their page. Facebook is a good example: There's a team working on Search that has its own CSS, javascript, html, etc.. There's a team working on the news feed that has its own CSS, javascript, html, etc... ... And the list goes on They c...
Hi, I have a complex web site in ASP.NET and c# using a class that inherits from XmlSiteMapProvider to build a site map used by asp:menu through asp:SiteMapDataSource. I would like to build a web service that given the user details will provide the map (based on user roles). 1)I already have the class that inherits from XmlSiteMapProvid...
Hello, I've written a web cgi application in perl and before I start to distribute it to clients, I'd like to provide an option for future updates. I would like to know what are the standard approaches for that using free Linux tools. It is OK for the server to be stopped during updating. Thank you, Spasski ...
Hi there, got a weird question for you based on some weird happenings on our site. We have four .DLLs in our ASP.Net solution (ie. managed code in the /bin folder). This morning we updated all four of them, the site was tested and worked fine. This afternoon I uploaded a new version of one of the DLLs, and it took the whole site down, m...
So I have been running the numbers for Azure and RackSpace Cloud Servers and found that RackSpace is substantially cheaper, less developer investment (no custom programming), and RackSpace offers RackSpace Cloud Files if you need a substantial storage solution for your site. It almost seems too good to be true, what am I missing? ...
In my company, we've been converting .net "Web Sites" to "Web Applications". I have become the go-to person for this task. In order to accomplish this, I create a new project, copy all the files from the "Web Site" and include them in the project, and run the "Convert To Web Application" tool to create the "design" files. This is tota...
Some background info first: Goal: a medium-level complexity web app that I will need to maintain and possibly extend for a few years. Experience: good knowledge of python, some experience of MVC frameworks (in PHP). Desiderata: using django and google app engine. I read extensively about the compatibility issues between GAE and Djang...
Title pretty much says it all. The web.config, unchanged from how VS2008SP1 generated it, has the following lines. <httpModules> <add name="ScriptModule" type="System.Web.Handlers.ScriptModule, System.Web.Extensions, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35"/> </httpModules> <system.webServer> ...
I need a provision of detecting the adult image in the websites where the user uploads the pictures to determine that a picture isn’t acceptable for my site. Can any one suggest the method to do this? I need kind of open source code/program (PHP) that could be implemented in the website and stops the user to upload the picture. Earlier ...
I have a web application where the masterPage/template contains some static HTML that never changes but is sent with every request. (a lot of this HTML are hidden elements that are shown after a user does something) I'm wondering if there is some way of caching it? I was considering putting the HTML inside a javascript variable and doi...
I have a particular web application that like most others, has to account for different browsers. It's starting to become particularly unwieldy and we've considered just telling users not to use IE so we can be done with it (it's an internal app - we can do this). When I was setting up a Google Apps account, I noticed that you can prov...
Developers are sometimes scathing of mult-tier Enterprise web applications... 'Enterprise' is viewed by some as synonymous with slow, bloated and resource-hungry. Do frameworks such as Hibernate actually bring in a non-trivial impact on performance compared to writing your own DAOs or other less abstracted approaches? By non-trivial I s...
Hi all, I'm considering to implement the classic 'remember-me' checkbox on my webapp to allow the authenticated user to be 'remembered' once he returns to visit my website. Gmail, Facebook and others have this kind of feature but I'm not too sure how secure it can be. A Java Framework like Spring Security uses an 'Hash-Based Token App...
