I remember seeing online a (sql?) query designer tool that looked like the "point and click GUI" that you get in MSFT access (and other similar apps). It allowed the user to do simple joins and where clauses and select clauses simply by toggling checkboxes, dragging table icons into view and connecting joins by drawing lines. This lin...
A hobby project of mine is a Java web application. It's a simple web page with a form. The user fills out the form, submits, and is presented with some results. The data is coming over a JDBC Connection. When the user submits, I validate the input, build a "CREATE ALIAS" statement, a "SELECT" statement, and a "DROP ALIAS" statement. ...

When I do a google search for any string it is retuning a blank page. The html source of the returned page looks like this. <html> <body> <META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="0; URL=http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=test+search&meta=&safe=active"> </body> </html> i.e. there is nothing at all returned to the browser. ...
I've a simple, if not primitive, C++/CLI .NET 2.0 class library. It is used in order to wrap some C++ legacy code for the Web Service. The following facts appear to be true: Primitive C# test program calls class library and it works. If class library does not refer to any modules of our code base, it works as well as part of the web se...

Front end that makes up the users sites (many web controls, master pages, usercontrols, etc... much of it is just code) I was wondering what poeples ...
I have seen various statistics on language popularity based on search engine results, number of books published, open source projects developed, etc. but none of them is specific for web development (on the server side). Almost all of them shows Java, C and C++ as the most popular. I wonder how PHP, which was created explicitly for web d...

Good morning. As the title indicates, I've got some questions about using python for web development. What is the best setup for a development environment, more specifically, what webserver to use, how to bind python with it. Preferably, I'd like it to be implementable in both, *nix and win environment. My major concern when I last ...
I've just read about the release of Safari4 (beta) and its much improved Javascript engine. I was planning to start playing with it, but I am wondering if anybody knows if both Safary 3 and Safari 4 can be run side by side. ...
Hey guys/girls, Basically I need to get around max execution time. I need to scrape pages for info at varying intervals, which means calling the bot at those intervals, to load a link form the database and scrap the page the link points to. The problem is, loading the bot. If I load it with javascript (like an Ajax call) the browser ...
Hi, I'm not an experienced java developer so any comment will be welcomed ... I've written a web service using c# and I wanted to consume this service from java - used Netbeans for this task. All methods works well beside one: the method expecting a type called BusinessDataField2 - this type contains 2 fields: name(string) and value(o...

How should one approach testing a web page with tabs (linking to other pages), frames or form? What should be the general methodology? What could be the various test cases? I was asked this interview for a Junior QA Engineer position without requiring to be very specific. And, I couldn't comprehend the question very clearly. Some of t...
Some popular CMSs have a huge number of add-ons and try to fix every security problem as quickly as possible, without hiding. They end up with a lot of security announcements. This seems to be the wrong way, because they distribute broken code and fix it after that. Not intentional, but that's the picture this is painting. Are there an...
I spent some time looking for an efficient way to update my website from a svn repository, but all I can find is to "svn update" directly from the web server, or use a pre/post-commit hook. Since I don't have ssh access to my web server, I can't really use "svn update", so I tested a pre/post-commit hook (svn2web) which was practical, b...
Before I begin, I guess this may not be strictly programming related but I think it's definitely related to web programming. I'm after a domain for a startup project and I notice that it is currently on "clientHold" registrar status. From the research I've done this suggests that it is in dispute either due to an ownership dispute, a p...
I vaguely remember that in the early days of the browser, one notion of what hypertext could be used for was a "zoom in" detail for academic essays: if you wanted a brief overview, you'd take the outermost level, and if you wanted to delve, you would click something and more sentences would appear. I know this sounds trivial and now, bu...
