Re: anything wrong with this simple code

You need to post the entire code as it is for someone to help you out. Posting in bits and pieces would just make it difficult.

And BTW, that kind of error is normally given when the variable 'w' doesn't refer to any window, i.e. function is called before window is created.

Re: Really simple script request - Count from 6 - 0

Normally such a thing is almost always done using a server side script (you know why), but since you have been nice in your conduct on Daniweb, I would try something out for you. :)

How about something like:

<!--
author: Sanjay aka ~s.o.s~ 
A simple redirection script which runs on the client side.
-->
<html>
<head>
<style>
 .myDiv
 {
  text-align: center;
  font: italic small-caps 900 14px arial
 }
</style>
<script>
 var count = 5;
 var timerHandle;
 var URL = "[URL]http://www.yahoo.com[/URL]";
 var SITE_NAME = "Yahoo";
 
 function startCountDown()
 {
  update();
  timerHandle = setInterval("update()", 1000);
 }
 
 function update()
 {
  if(count <= 0)
  {
   clearInterval(timerHandle);
   document.getElementById('txt').innerHTML = 'Redirecting, please wait...';
   window.location.assign(URL);
   /*
   You can also use the window.location.replace() function with the difference
   being you won't be able to hit the back button once the new page has been
   loaded. Use the function which suits your purpose
   */
  }
  else
  {
   //you can also embed the entire message in a 'anchor' tag so that the user can decide not to
   //wait and click on the link to go to the site.
   document.getElementById('txt').innerHTML = 'You would be redirected to '+ SITE_NAME + ' in ' + count + ' seconds.';
   --count;
  }
 }
 
</script>
</head>
<body onload="javascript:startCountDown();">
<br /><br /><br />
<div class="myDiv" id="txt"></div>
</body>
</html>

Just let me know if it works for your cause. ;-)

Re: help with classes?!

AFAIK, the use of default values is for the flexible creation of objects, not identifying which objects have been created by _mistake_. And BTW, how would you justify that an object is created 'unintentionally', after all, its in the hands of the developer to dictate when an object should be created.

> Also I said "usually", this is because there would be specific
> scenarios when the functionality supported by your class requires
> a valid default value
I would rather not call it usually, but more like 'sometimes' in 'specific' cases'. :)

> e.g. ifstream c'tor.

Re: Windows vs Mac

There is as such nothing absolute when it comes to one's opinions. Better use the OS which suits your needs, thats the best advice someone can offer.

If you feel like contributing to the community of OS developers and the idea of free OS, go with Linux. If you have enough money to buy a decent OS with lots of support and gaming capabilities, go for Windows.

The difference between opinions are just the bias of people against one OS or another, nothing else.If you must know, some consider MS as evil, while others consider Linux as sissy.

Re: Certification Poll

Because in this particular case, certification is the only way to advance, whereas in normal scenarios you have stepping stones like BS, MS, PhD etc.

Simply put, in your case its the only certification and a requirement and hence its a must.

Re: Certification Poll

Thats an ass backward way of saying things. You need certifications only when you don't have enough experience to cover your back and that too, to fool employers who think certification is more important.

If you must know, experience beats 'just certification' hands down. Of course, if you have a piece of paper with your experience, it changes the scenario.

Re: javascript and iframes

If the server side interaction is required, you would need to use AJAX. If only client side, then Javascript would suffice the purpose. Also unless the third window is in some way related to the main "index.html" page, I don't think there is any way of passing data between two unrelated HTML pages.

AD?

> Default values, usually, should be invalid values
Give a real life example with reasons why this should be the case. Default values actually contain _default_ values which the class instance is supposed to have. The way you put in, leaving off values would become meaningless since they would contain invalid values, not something the programmer intended.

Re: overloading trouble

= is the assignment operator, and is basically used for assigning values to variables. What you need is the comparison operator == to compare values.

Re: help with classes?!

In that case, instead of accepting the input from user in the form of integers, accept the input in the form of string. Parse to string and find out whether the user has entered one, two, three values.

Extract the values from the string using a string stream. If he has entered less than three values, print out the default, if not, then print out the values as entered by the user.

To facilitate this, give default values out to the constructor as 0.0 so that if any one parameter is not supplied, the default value will be bound to the instance members.

Angle(int i = 0, double d = 0.0, char c = 0)
{
   inclination = i;
   degree = d;
   choice = c;
}

Also better seperate the class declaration from the definition in real scenarios.

Re: overloading trouble

> day=(x.day).operator- (day); There is a reason we do operator overloading. Don't you think the code above looks a bit illogical.

Read up on some good operator overloading tutorials to actually understand what it is used for. And BTW, operator overloading is used as: obj1 = obj2 - obj3; where all objects are instances of the same class and you have specifically overloaded the minus(-) operator.

If its a serious thing, we can always contact your local ISP office, explain the situation to them, get hold of your address and voila, the police at at your house. ;-)

Actual addresses aren't logged. Its the IP address which gets logged. Its needed for an IP ban if a spammer gets really sneaky to deal with. How to derive addresses from IP's is a different thing. ;-)

Re: How to validate an image field with javascript

Just by validating the extension, you can't be sure that the file uploaded by the user is actually a image file. I can always rename an executable and make it seem like an image file, if your logic performs these kind of critical validations at the client side.

Better leave off these things to the server side validation. The size restriction as well as the type of file can only be meaningfully validated at the server. Doing it at the client side is a moot point.
