How do I perform a database transaction where I create a new record then make a call to a web service using the new record ID returned from the database which will also manipulate the same database? I could obviously update all tables directly from the same SQLConnection object but the logic within the web service call is subject to chan...
Hi, in a web application I am building I need to upload photos without using a form, otherwise it will come up with form embedded in an outer from which is not permitted in XHTML. I think uploading files is what jQuery.post should be able to do, but I currently can't figure out how to do this using jQuery. ...
When a site gets into the first position of Google's organic search results, Google sometimes renders additional links for the sections of that website. For example, if you search for jQuery, jQuery.com is the first search results. In addition to a link to jQuery.com, the jQuery Documentation, Tutorials, Plugins, Download, Works, Ui, Abo...
I'm looking for success and failure stories of web applications rendering rich, 2D graphics via the HTML canvas element. I've seen some intriguing examples online but wanted to learn about some real-world, practical examples of development done using this approach. ...
Hello, I've recently begun evaluating a few project management projects for the company I work for. It's the classic case - growing company looking for the right solution (meaning, free or really cheap). It's a combination shop - Windows, Macs, and Linux on the desktop. The tech savviness, of course, ranges from newbie to unix guru. ...
Hey everyone, I am researching a project where we would need to keep a value encrypted from the client all the way to a black box system without decrypting it at any point in between. We are using SSL between the browser and web server, but the values are automatically decrypted at the web server, which is what we need to keep from happ...
Many web sites know where I'm from. For example, visiting Yelp shows me restaurant listings from the nearest metropolitan area and searching for "maps" on Live Search shows me a map of my current city. My best guess is sites do this by using a large database mapping the user's IP address to city name. If this is true, where's the best...
I would like to know what you think is the best web-based File Explorer to manage files in a remote server through HTTP / Web. It would be preferable to have PHP or Flash technology, but any good suggestion would do. More generally, how would you allow someone to manage files on a remote server with HTTP being the only open outgoing po...
Hi, We have a sitemap for our site http://www.appsamuck.com/ The sitemap is here http://www.appsamuck.com/sitemap.xml But Google seems to hate it. My question is why? I'm just staring at it now saying to myself it looks right. Am I missing something? 3 Paths don't match We've detected that you submitted your Sitemap using a URL pat...
I have a website that is deployed between 3 different environments - Dev, Stage, and Prod. For Stage and Prod, the site can resolve local paths to images with just the base url to the file, such as /SiteImages/banner.png. However, on the Dev server I have to hard code the full URL of the image path for the image to be resolved, such as h...
I've noticed for quite a long time that strange domains such like jsev.com, cssxx.com appered in my firefox status bar from time to time, I always wonder why so many web pages contains resources from these strange domains. I googled it, but found nothing. I guess it's some kind of virus which infect the servers and insert the code. Here ...
I have a webpage that redirects to another webpage like this: http://www.myOtherServer.com/Sponsor.php?RedirectPage=http://mylink.com/whereIwasgoingtogo.html Then the Sponsor.php page displays an ad with a link saying "Continue to your page" that links to the passed in RedirectPage. Are there security/spoofing issues that could come ...
I often marvel at how I can go to www.google.com, from anywhere in the world at any time, and get the returned page so fast. Sure, they compress their output and keep to a minimal design - that helps. But they must have millions of simultaneous hits to the box sitting on the web that DNS lists as "www.google.com". All of you who have ...
I've got a web site sending someone a confirmation email. Now in the email I would like to have a link the user has to click to confirm he received the mail. I'd like to include the user's password (or some random code) into the confirmation address, so the user does not need to enter it by hand again, but if I do this, the password wi...
I've created a program in Delphi that uses Google's AJAX Search API to evaluate search phrase occurrences on specific sites, mine included. What surprised me was it doesn't appear Google is indexing some words on my pages, or I am forming my search queries via the API incorrectly. For example the search site:www.delphi.org -"delphi p...
I would like to see the specific style elements that are used in the default stylesheet for the various browsers. Do the browsers have an actual file based stylesheetss that I locate on my system and read? If so, what are the default locations of those files? If not, where I can find this information? ...
We have several websites on different domains and I'd like to be able to track users' movements on these sites. Obviously cookies are not feasable, because they don't cross domain borders. I could look at a combination of IP address and User Agent, but there are some cases where that does not work. I don't want to use flash or other p...
I am a big fan of the Lightbox2 library, and have used it in the past just not on an MVC project. In the past I remember that Lightbox2 was picky about the paths it scripts, css, and images resided in. I remember specifically have to put everything in subdirectories of the page's path, else it wouldn't work. In a non-MVC application tha...
I'm wrapping up a Javascript widget in a Wicket component. I want to let the JS side talk to the component. What I've got so far: Component in question goes like talker = new GridAjaxBehavior(); this.add(talker); in constructor and then, later on, puts something like "var MyGridTalker = new talker(" + this.talker.getCallbackUrl()...
If I'm using Apache with a pool of worker processes, and one of those launches its own long-running process, what happens to that worker? Will Apache kill it eventually, killing the child process? Will that worker be permanently unavailable, but keep running? How does it differ if it starts a thread instead of a process? How does it ...
