I installed XAMPP sometime back. Good product. Also have NotePad++, but I wrote my own text editor back in '06 and I like it better. NP++ is an excellent program in many ways, but it strikes me as being a bit bloated. Also have NoteTab Light, another good one. Mine has several tools I added that few other people would find useful but they work well for me. I may polish it up and submit it as a CP project at some point.
I'll drop by SB1 B4 the night is over. It's good to be back online.

I have used many editors over the year, but have finally settled on notepad++ on windows, IMHO it is one of the best as it supports many lanuages and so I do not need to learn a new editor for a new language. It also has code complete, but you have to turn it on and it is not perfect, but still it know most of the php function names, html, javascript and css.
Sadly notepad++ is a windows only tool and so on linux I use Bluefish.

NP++ is a good editor. But I (and it's just a preference on my part) don't like "mega-editors" like NP++. I want my text editor to be simple and efficient, but without a ton of bells and whistles. I wrote my own text editor that's basically just Notepad with a toolbar and few tools I use on a regular basis. I also wrote my own HTML editor sometime back (uses ScintillaNet) and would love to add a WYSIWYG option. But I have yet to see a WYSIWYG editor that generates standards-compliant code. I've pretty given up on finding one that does.
Since dropping support for the ActiveEx browser control, MS now recommends a 3rd party control called FreeTextBox [^]. But its HTML is only marginally better than MSHTML and still produces some deprecated tags. I corresponded with the author and he admitted that his control has some compliance issues, but also says changing it to use styles within span tags (instead of font tags) would create problems with some of his customers. No clue here how compliant HTML could be a "problem."

Everyone has their preferrence, but my reasoning stands. I have written many programs/scripts in many languages: html, css, javascript, php, sql, c, c++, java, and even python and perl. And prefer to not add to the complexity of programming by having to learn a new editor for any language I use.
NP++ is clean and simple even if it is filled with 40 other languages that I will most likely never use. But if I do use them I take comfort in knowing I do not have to learn a new editor.
In my experience a WYSIWYG editors all fail and add more bloat and bad code to your files. I have never found one that generated code like what I write, nor do they save me time when hand coding when you consider having to fix the WYSIWYG mistakes.

Your WYSIWYG experiences mirror my own. Where we differ is in regards to editors. I like having a dev environment specific to what I'm doing. I use VS for all my VB.Net projects, my HTML editor for web work, etc. One thing I have noticed about NP++ is that its find-replace tool is pleasingly fast when I use regular expressions. Noticeably faster than NoteTab or my own text editor.
While VS occasionally causes me to consider eating my computer, I do enjoy the drag-n-drop interface and all the tools it places at my disposal. And the tools I write for my own use are tailored for what I do, which removes the learning curve. I guess that's at the root of where we differ on editors. I often use my own tools from VB so I can make changes when I need to while working on something else. That's a wonderful (to me at least) convenience.

I just prefer to write in a text editor over a gui interface. I feel much closer to the code.
Although for full disclosure I have delphi expereince and loved the RAD environment for application development. I also got to demo the early PHP GUI Editor when code gear (now embarcadero) first released it. My experience was just like that of MS Editor, although it did do a better job of keeping the code clean, but the code produced was way out of date. It made use of tables for page lay out instead of divs and css as was common for the day.
My end result is the same tho....a good text editor allows more control over the code made.
Just me 2 Cents.

Full disclosure: I still use tables quite often. So easy to arrange a page that way. Especially if a page requires a sidebar. I'm a tad lazy in that regard.

Hi,
I have been asked to develop a web-based application for work, but I've never done any web-based development or programming before, ever!
So, I'm looking for some recommended books or sites to get started. I've spent many years developing software - C++, some C#, Excel VBA, VB6, SQL etc. I'm leaning towards HTML5 and javascript based on some of what I've read.
However, I've had a look at some programming - some javascript, php etc and it just doesnt' seem to have the same rigour and structure as regular programming.
So, on the basis that I'm as ignorant as they come when it comes to web development, what do you recommend I read as a good starting point?
Thanks in advance,
John.

Hello,
I need some recommendations for books that help me learn web services. I don't know anything about web services, so I need books that are Petzoldish; I mean, like that Windows Programming book of Charles Petzold that really gives in depth understand on how things are and how things can be used.
I see a lot of material on the web about web services use C#. I am a C++ guy so I don't mind learning C#. It would be helpful if the book has a primer on C#. If not, please recommend a suitable book.
Thanks for reading this.

I'm not sure about web services, apart from ASP.NET[^], but .NET Book Zero[^] helped me in the jump from C++ to C#.
Just say 'NO' to evaluated arguments for diadic functions! Ash

Thanks for that Petzold link.

Hello,
My name is Willie Jammer. I used to use this website to send braille to my friend in Winters, California.
It's to bad I can't do that online anymore.
Is there anyway that you can bring it back?
There were fields where I would put my friend's mailing address and zipcode and post my braille letter to the postoffice.
I'd like that back.
Sincerely yours,
Willie Jammer

Not sure if this is what you are after?

Just download the Zip file and away you go.

My dot net application displays a Html page on a web control.
The html page has a javascript embedded in it.
The html page has button on it.
When the html button is clicked, Java script lanches a print dialog using JScript's <code>Window.print().</code>
There is some other application (Kind of Monitor) which closes the Dot net Window. As the control in the Dot net window hosts the Html, the html also unloaded.
Problem:
The print dialog launched by the JScript <code>Window.print()</code> call still displayed. <big>How do I close the print dialog using the JScript?</big>
Thanks in Advance

I don't think you can close the print dialog from javascript. If that is possible, think of all the security issues that could arise.

Hi,
Inside a div I have a horizontal navigation bar and some images, which are links, below the bar. I am unable to control the spacing between the images and the bar, i.e. I wish to move the images up, closer to the bottom of the bar, but am unable to do so. I have tried everything I could think of, margins, padding, etc. but nothing seems to be working. I wonder if anyone has any solutions? All help would be greatly appreciated.

Have you tried using negative margin values?

In JScript1.js, I defined a function like this:
=================================================
var count = 0;
function changeDefaultStatus() {
var arr = new Array("haoyong", "hao123", "12wangzhi", "123", "state");
if (count >= 5)
count = 0;
top.defaultStatus = arr[count];
count++;
}
=================================================
And use the function like this:
=================================================
//the code below does not work
<script>
setInterval("changeDefaultStatus();", 2000);
.......
//But if I move the code to here, it works
setInterval("changeDefaultStatus();", 2000);
====================================================
when a page is being loaded, how does the "src" works? the explorer will wait for "JScript1.js"'s loading, or just load it in the background.
Thank you

Every opening <script> tag requires a closing </script> tag, including the one with src="".
The opening <script> you have with the src="./JScript1.js" attribute is being closed by the </script> that is after the setInterval call. Any code within <script></script> that has a src attribute is ignored.

In Dreamware~press "CTRL+ALT+F" you ca isnert a FLASH video with URL,see code as follows
----------------------------------------------
1. <object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,19,0" width="32" height="32">
2. <param name="movie" value="http://player.56.com/v_NTcxMTA1Njc.swf" />
3. <param name="quality" value="high" />
4. <embed src="http://player.56.com/v_NTcxMTA1Njc.swf" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="32" height="32"></embed>
5. </object>
--------------------------------------------------------
my script is not very good~ but i'm guess this is FLALSH's address~
<embed src="http://player.56.com/v_NTcxMTA1Njc.swf"
------------------------------------------------------------------------
so, i would like to ask the question~as i'm in the middle with Javascript<boyd> defines a variable to hold the FLASH's address,as follow~
1. <script>
2. var a = "http://player.56.com/v_NTcxMTA1Njc.swf";
3. </script>
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
so~that's question is how to insert FLASH address in "<embed src=" use this variable instead of the full character~??? thx in advances~
