You can't technically "call"... Umm. I realized I have no way of intelligently answering your question. This "vb program" you have, is it VB.NET? Is it ASP? Is it even a web application? Listen, all a web browser can do, really, is submit a "Request" to a web server. The …

...but now, by reading the latest feedback on the issue, you realize that the annoyance of the hover previews is unrelated to speed, and that the all-or-nothing option of disabling all client-side JavaScript does not address the issue. Also, removing control over an aspect of the site that was previously …

I don't post anymore... but I do occasionally browse. The floating popups are very annoying, like having tape stuck to your fingers. Please reinstate the option to disable popups.

Points to Blazing Wolf. That's the correct answer, according to [URL="http://msdn.microsoft.com/asp.net/support/faq/default.aspx"]Microsoft's ASP.NET FAQ[/URL].

Sorry, but this doesn't make sense to me. Can you post a better pseudo-code example? If you have something that needs to execute before something else happens, code the first "thing" as a method that returns a value. Test the value, then move forward or not. There should never be …

This thread is ridiculous and highlights so much of what is currently wrong with Daniweb. The administrator responded in [URL="http://www.daniweb.com/forums/post387824-2.html"]post number 2[/URL], end of story. Barely readable posts written in mangled, unpunctuated pseudo-English arguing for the establishment of a gamer's forum provide their own best counterargument. Now all we need …

[url]http://www.thumbshots.com/[/url] (or something similar). Just more IntelliTXT camoflauge. Once users are trained to hover over every link in order to get a "thumbshot", then IntelliTXT revenue should see a dramatic jump. Go ahead, tell me again how users "know the difference".

A post just to show my new extremely apropros signature, and to provide [I]c>you et al [/I]an opportunity to give me bad rep. How very off-topic of me.

The trend of Daniweb attracting more and more of the myspace crowd these days should be a serious wake-up call.

I don't get an error, but I get a small delay before I can start scrolling. Windows XP Service Pack 2, Tablet PC edition, FireFox 1.5.0.11.

Code segments aside, color should not be necessary for clarity or emphasis. A well-constructed and properly punctuated post doesn't need a crutch. If you find yourself needing to add orange 16pt. bold-italic formatting to your post so it will make sense, then you likely need to revise your post.

Posting in the proper forum would go a long way towards getting an answer.

You left out "none". It is possible, and even pleasant, to lead a life devoid of any political affiliation and/or opinions.

I'm struggling with XSLT. I need to copy an entire xml file to a new xml file. The input and output should be identical except for the addition of some extra tags around certain elements. Consider the two versions: [code="xml"] <?xml version="1.0"?> <document> <header> <general> <version>1.14.2</version> <form>/XX/ATL_ZI_D007_PURCHASE</form> <language>EN</language> <device>PRINTER</device> </general> …

The infamous z-index bug has a long history, and indeed it affects only IE. It isn't a problem unique to this site. It's a bug in IE that Microsoft has ignored through several browser versions.

[quote=MidiMagic;346612]The problem is that the moving ads are brain interrupts. They yank your eyes off the text you are trying to read, because the same type of stimulus could be an impending collision or a bee about to sting. Require all ads to be still lifes.[/quote] That's by design. That's …

What do you mean by "true"? You know what I'm asking.

Here's an example of why all these games are a problem. They pollute the site. This is an example of clicking "Posts Since Last Visit". All this pointless activity is rendering portions of the site useless. The bigger issue remains: why are we attracting users who like to spend most …

[quote=joshSCH;357914]disable javascript, it will go faster[/quote] Bad advice. Disabling JavaScript will break a lot of the site's features and usability. I suggested in another thread disabling a specific malfunctioning script to specific users suffering a specific problem. That script has since been fixed by Dani. That advice was never intended …

Actually, "nevermind" means "nevermind." Look at how much typing you would have saved by NOT abbreviating it.

[URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Secret_%282006_film%29"]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Secret_(2006_film[/URL]) I think the technical term would be "bunk". My favorite editorial quote: Karin Klein, writing for the [I][B]LA Times[/B][/I]:[I]My sister says I'm over-intellectualizing. She, after all, had manifested a fine leather satchel. And I have to admit, if there were designer leather goods to be had out of this, …

Look at some of the code provided in thread: [url]http://www.daniweb.com/techtalkforums/thread29187.html[/url] That shows how to RANDOMLY or SEQUENTIALLY alter images, but you should be able to adapt the code.

A bigger font, against a white background, tends to make the font look "lighter" in color. Smaller fonts look darker, so are more legible. If you're going to up the point size, which is fine, try making the text a shade or so darker. Leading (space between lines) is also …

This isn't feasible. I'm an experienced JavaScript coder, and the overhead just to include a script that could parse every post and detect code (and code fragments) would be astronomical! The place to do it, if it all, would be server-side, in PHP. But we're a forum, not a code-parsing …

Dani, The featured blogs are missing the "views" and "comments" bits. I know that information is still available on the blogs page, but not on the homepage. I often scan the featured blogs. If the topic doesn't interest me, I move on. However, if I see that there are numerious …

Seems some tidbits disappeared from the way blogs are presented on the opening page. I miss "number of comments" - it's a quick way to see if a blog posting is hot, if it has new comments, and if someone has replied. Otherwise, it's just "hmm, I read this one …

I'm writing a utility program. In fact, the program will be a Console application that will contain many static methods, each method being a specific utility. The application will take two command line arguments: filename, and utility name. Of course I want to run the method specified on the file …

When did the user/member information disappear from the blogs? Is it up to the blog writers to provide a signature line? I don't see a member name - a "byline", on the blog entries.

I'm a published haiku, senryu, cinquain, renga, tanka, and haibun poet ([I]Frogpond, Tanka Splendor, Lynx, Modern Haiku, plus school textbooks and poster series[/I]). Let me correct the notion that haiku are 5-7-5. While it's true that Japanese haiku follow a pattern of "sound parts", those do not correspond to English …

You do an excellent job of keeping the forum moving. Meaning, you never say "ok, now this is good enough". Always tweaking, always testing. That's good, even if it causes some ruffled feathers now and then. Davey doesn't really need me to tell him he's a great writer and doing …

I've had generally good experience with Dell equipment, in multiple companies, for high-end server equipment. One factor to weigh is the cost of disposal: you may think owning 97 "older" computers to be an asset, but it is just the opposite. Ridding yourself of them is a major issue. I …

This isn't an HTML coding question. Moved to the Lounge.

I applaud the effort to move the Quick Reply closer to the thread. The interstitial ads and distance between the thread and the reply box were very irritating. However, the stunted Quick Reply box annoys me more. It's fine for dashing off quick, thoughtless messages, but for those who actually …

Neither, though HTML and XML are both derived from SGML. XML is a data file, formatted with tags and attributes defined via a schema. HTML is the same thing, though specialized to "web pages". XML is generic, or to say it another way, may be specialized to your specific needs. …

[quote=KevinADC;301113]I disagree with you about it being the best or even better than many other forums.

ASP.NET produces HTML. So, the standard HTML techniques will work just fine.

Firefox itself will help. Use the "JavaScript Console" under the Tools menu to see the errors.

Well, actually - my reasons weren't "personal" at all. My cat didn't die or anything like that... my reason for stepping down was quite public, and at least one or two others have the same [B]public[/B] reason: this forum's use of the IntelliTXT advertising system. I think the digest's summation …

My biggest WiFi complaint isn't hotels. I hate Airport WiFi. What I generally find is that the smaller regional airports have good, free WiFi access. Once you reach a major airport or hub, though, you have to pay. I also find the rates ridiculous. I can buy "all day access". …
