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.

[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 …

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).

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 …

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

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 …

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 …

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 …
