Re: Storing data on posting data

"how do we coincide this with the loading of the target page" - I've explained how - do you undersand what it is I am suggesting?

User clicks button
Posts to your page - persist data here
Page is rendered to user with form
Form automatically submits via JavaScript to other page
Otherpage does its stuff and redirects back to you
On final page grab username from however you stored it.

Ok?

Re: Storing data on posting data

Ok I see.

How about instead of posting directly to this page, you post to your own page and this then posts to the other page. This has given you an extra trip to your server then you can choose from a multitude of options for persisting data.

The new intermedary page I am suggesting could render a page back to the user with Javascript which makes it post as soon as its loaded. The content of this page could be something sensible to let the user know something is being processed.

Another option is to use ajax. When the user clicks submit, before posting to otherpage, make a call to the server and again choose from your persistence options.

Make sense?

Re: Storing data on posting data

You wrote:

"I do not redirect to the target page. "OtherPage" while doing its thing reads the hidden target variable from the request object and redirects to the target page."

The last part of this paragraph reads "and redirects to the target page".

Question - how do you redirect to the target page?

Sorry I wasn't very clear. Let me summarise how I see things.

You have a page with a form which posts to "otherpage"

"otherpage" does some stuff and then "redirects to the target page that I send"

So my questionis how are you redirecting to this target page?

Re: CFselect

Your checkboxes have name attribute but need an id as well!

In jquery when you use # that looks for an id, not a name.

id tends to be used client side and name is what goes into postbacks. You can have both.

Also what data can come back into text - is it always 2 numbers for example.

In plain English explain what these numbers should do with your checkboxes - I believe the code just isn't doing what you want so explain to me what the intent of your algorithm is and I can fix it.

Re: Transitioning to OOP in PHP

Hi

I'm not a PHP developer but do have good OOP skills.

Loose coupling is certainly key.

Have your validation class return an instance of ValidationResult (a class you will define unless there already is one in PHP?). This could be an instance of a class which has a boolean IsValid property and a colletion of string messages.

Don't have any html tags in your messages as you can reuse this class again and again - maybe in another app which doesn't use html.

SOLID is an acronym of good OO practice. The S stands for Single Responsibility principle which essentially just means that a class should only do one type of thing. In my programming language which is C# I have a ValidationResult class like this:

    public class ValidationResult
    {
        public bool IsValid
        {
            get
            {
                return !ValidationMessages.Any();   
            }
        }

        public List<string> ValidationMessages { get; set; }

        public ValidationResult()
        {
            ValidationMessages = new List<string>();
        }
    }

Hope that helps.

    $('input#revoke_AppId' + i).prop('checked', false);
}



for (var i = 0; i < roleInfoLength; i++)
{
    $('input#grant_AppId' + roleInfo[i]).prop('checked', true);

Re: Problem keeping variable's value...

You are declaring your variable inside the curly brackets. This is the scope of the variable.

Move it onto line 25 with

string theamount;

then assign it in your if statements as you are but remove the "var "

Re: help with a list of strings

Hi

This is indeed a Generic List.

You can create a List of anything eg List<Customer> or List<Invoice>

To Add things you just use:

var model = new StoreIndexViewModel();

model.Genres.Add("Horror");
model.Genres.Add("Romance");
model.Genres.Add("Drama");

You can pull them all out with things like:

foreach (var genre in mode.Genres)
{
    //Do something with genre here
}

Why is this better than an array? Many reasons. Check out this video:

And finally

There are only 10 types of people. Those who understand binary and those who don't.

Re: So. Does anyone have any good programming/computing jokes?

Or sometimes in real production code I have been know to use silly variables like Underpants particularly with foreach...

foreach (var item in pairOfUnderPants)
{

}

Not a joke as such but one I use a lot.

Re: How to get difference in minutes.

Youre welcome. I also added return true since you were not doing that.
