My problem is a bit more complex than using the following simple JavaScript code window.onbeforeunload = function (e) { return 'Are You Sure?'; }; On an e-commerce web page I would like to remind the user that he has items in the shopping cart so that he can change his mind before closing the browser tab/window navigating to...
This is probably a dumb question, but I have to ask it anyway. I'd like to know if it is at all possible to create a web app that, with the help of a central server, could create direct connections with other users of the same web app. I'm imagining a process similar to UDP hole punching. I've read about the new WebSockets API in HTML5,...

Hi I'm just looking for clarification on this. Say I have a small web form, a 'widget' if you will, that gets data, does some client side verification on it or other AJAX-y nonsense, and on clicking a button would direct to another page. If I wanted this to be an 'embeddable' component, so other people could stick this on their sites,...

To track user activity history on a web application, I am attempting to save some session data to a database when the session is invalidated. My initial approach was to store the data on a javabean with a session scope and have it dump its data to the database through the finalize method. I figured this wouldn't be a perfect solution du...
Is there a way of including HTML pages without needing any javascript or server-side code, only HTML. Basically I can't be sure if the server supports server side includes. I don't want to use javascript and I don't want to use any PHP or other server side functionality. Is there any way to do this. At the moment I suspect not, but wou...
Update: Looks like the header request information is the culprit. How would I change the max-age property of the request header? TIA. Hi, I'm using @font-face on a website and i'm experiencing delayed loading of the text (presumably due to the loading of the font every page). I understand the client has to download the font once to di...

I am planning on making them all point to the same server, then depending on which domain is used to access it, different content/styles will be served. So its essentially going to be 5 or so different retail sites specializing in a particula...

Obviously if anonymous voting on a website is allowed, there is no fool proof way to prevent someone voting more than once. However, I am wondering if someone with experience can...
