 | This is a topic near-and-dear to my heart. Although my day job is development, I supplement my income through writing. Like other people, ads drive my crazy. Yet, in the past ads were what allowed sites to pay me quite nicely to write for them. Now we see sites giving …  |
| | People who know me know that Python has always been one of my favorite languages. And over the years, I've been pleased with the array of development tools that have been created for it, including the different IDEs. I also do a lot of work in .NET, primarily with C#. …  |
| | Every year or so for the past couple of decades I've seen new products appear that claim to let you create software without having to know how to code. And every time the next one comes out, I roll my eyes, because they always fail to deliver as promised. Usually …  |
| | [COLOR="Red"][B]UPDATE: see author's comments after article[/B][/COLOR] When you develop for mobile devices these days, you pretty much have two paths you can take: You can use the OS manufacturer's SDK and develop native apps, or you can create an application that runs in the device's web browser. Developing for the … |
| | [ATTACH=RIGHT]17428[/ATTACH]Almost every programmer knows his name. He's a living legend in computers. His name is Bjarne Stroustrup, and he created the world's most popular programming language, C++. I had a chance to ask him a few questions. The first three of the questions I came up with, and the remainder … |
| | SQL Server is touchy about the names. Depending on how it's configured you may or may not be able to just use an IP address like you're using in the connection string. When I'm faced with this, I first try to make sure I can connect to the server using … |
| | Since you're incrementing by two, you're basically skipping the final \0. Look at when you get to the 'Y'. You print that out, and then you go two more, which puts you one past the \0. So your test (letters[i] != '\0') never sees the \0. It sees the one … |
 | Re: Regexp help Here are two references for learning regular expressions, one site and one book. I recommend you get the book and study it, and also study the site. The site is www.regular-expressions.info. The book is called [Mastering Regular Expressions](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0596528124/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=0596528124&linkCode=as2&tag=facebookjmc-20). |
 | Do you know if there's any macro or something that will take a Word doc and convert it to Markdown? When I uploaded my tutorial a couple days ago, it took a really long time to copy and paste from the word processor, especially in places where there was a … |

 | When you have a function in C (or C++), the function gets an area of memory on the stack to use for its local variables. If you create a variable like this: MyStruct X; inside your function, then the X structure will get created on the stack. If you return … |
| | As I spend time in the Daniweb forums, I see some questions that ultimately come down to the issue of manipulating JavaScript data and a user interface on a website. When you build a GUI that lets your user view, add, edit, and delete data, a common approach is to … |
| | Do you want to actually copy the data from one table to another or just display it on the screen that way? If you just want to display it, you might consider creating a view in the database. |
 | Your code almost worked for me, except I had to change line 9 to remove the moveFromTop animation. After that fix, it completely worked: $(".navigation li a").click(function() { var currentId = $(this).attr("href"); $('.current').removeClass('pt-page-moveFromTop').addClass('pt-page-moveToLeftFade').removeClass('current'); $(currentId).addClass('pt-page-moveFromTop').addClass('current'); }); |
| | Are you using jQuery? If so, they have an example that uses the jQueryUI autocomplete and does basically what you're describing: http://jqueryui.com/autocomplete/#multiple-remote |
| | Dani, did you get this worked out? I'm not seeing this error. I'm using chrome, but I am seeing a couple other FB errors. |
| | Hi! The problem is your overflow:hidden is hiding it. Get rid of both of those (lines 38 and 53 of the CSS file). But then your layout will be thrown off, so add a min-height:83px to your body > header. Then it will work. :-) |
 | Yeah, as Pritaes said, use $.ajax and add the option cache:false. What jQuery does in this case is adds a random, unused number on the end of the query string. That effectively changes the URL, and as such the browser performs the request without caching. Something like this: $.ajax({url: 'url', … |
| | A minor update to the 1.6 version of jQuery was just released today. After a big outcry of version 1.6's changes to the way properties work, the jQuery team quickly released version 1.6.1 to make the new techniques more compatible with the older functionality, hopefully preventing sites from breaking. The …  |
| | IE9 is on the horizon, and there has been plenty said about it. But what about its web development aspects? In this article I look at its web developer tools, and decide whether I'll start using it in my own web development. Like most web developers, I abandoned IE several … |
| | Netbeans is a free, open source IDE for developing software in Java. It's been around for almost 15 years, having gotten its start around the time Java began. Version 7.0 is about to be released, and I got my hands on the Beta release of this new version. In the …  |
| | A couple weeks ago, Microsoft Research made available a project that had been under development for a while called Debugger Canvas. This is a visual tool for debugging applications where your functions appear as bubbles, similar to a database diagram or UML diagram. It only works on Visual Studio 2010 …  |
| | Back around 2004 and 2005, I had embarked on a web project that included the ability for my users to draw on a web page—or at least, that was one of the requirements. At the time, most of my web development had been server-side, with very little JavaScript. Long story … |
| | This past Summer, Microsoft announced the beta of a new product called WebMatrix. Two weeks ago, the third beta came out. But before I talk about it, I have to ask: Is this a new product? Or am I having déjà vu?[ATTACH]18093[/ATTACH]WebMatrix (one word) is, in fact, a brand new …  |
| | I've been using jQuery for a few years now, and the more I use it, the more I like and appreciate it. It seems like I'm always finding new ways to use it, and usually those new techniques result in me writing less code and ultimately being more productive. On … |
 | There were other options besides just the paper clip. There was this pretty cool Albert Einstein character. |
| | When I first started working on this article, I was originally planning on reviewing a different product, a new project from Eclipse called Orion. However, it turns out that project just isn't ready for prime time. It's still in a very early stage, and I don't feel I would do … |
| | Last week, I took a look at Node.js, a powerful server-side implementation of JavaScript. But one thing I found lacking was the way to easily create a web server. Essentially, Node is an implementation of CommonJS, which adds operating systems features to JavaScript. But Node is not a web application … |
| | [ATTACH=RIGHT]19350[/ATTACH]In the past, the word "JavaScript" usually triggered notions of buttons changing when you float your mouse over them, and images flashing, and silly animations happening in the web browser. Today, however, most programmers recognize that JavaScript is actually much more than that; it's a powerful language that runs in … |
| | When I was studying computer programming in college many years ago, I didn't imagine that our work could impact lives, particularly in a negative way. We've heard reports (mostly true) of death, dying, and destruction as a result of software problems, such as the time a plane flew right into … |
