JS:
function detpopup(obj) {
var obj = document.getElementById(obj);
if(obj.getAttribute('title') != 'open')
{
id = obj.getAttribute('id');
obj.style.height = '300px';
obj.style.width = '600px';

This works, which is fantastic (for me) but I don't want to have the
"onmouseover" and "onmouseout" in the HTML.
I have tried having:

Subject: [thelist] XML templates for CVs/resumes
Message-ID: <20070618171010.GG21740@telos.xk7.net>
Can anyone recommend any good templates for CVs/resumes that use a
single XML file to store all the information (contact details, education
etc.) and then have a variety of XSL files for converting to various
formats? At the moment I only have a PDF version of my CV which is
generated by pdflatex, but it's not very well-structured and running it
through something like latex2html doesn't produce good results.
Unfortunately every time I search for 'cv xml template' on Google I get
lots of CVs of people who know how to use XML, but not any advice on
creating a CV.
Thanks,
Paul

On the upside - one xml file, allows for filters, based on docbook, recently used for mine
Unmaintained, old, could do the same with plain DocBook. But beyond me.
Maybe you could strip something useful from the project.
It did everything I needed with the exception that I wish it'd crank out
all the filtered version with the filter name in the filename. I think
that could be controlled in the Makefile or build.xml. HTH.

Hi All,
I am setting up a website where users need to pay fees, some will be monthly
recurring fees. My client thinks using PayPal doesn't seem like the classy
choice so we are looking at other companies, like authorize.net, worldpay or
itransact.
What experiences have you had with online payment websites? We are looking
for ease of use for customers and the lowest fees, of course.
TIA

Nan, it depends whether you have a merchant account at your disposal or not
but after having developed with a large variety of providers I would choose
Protx every time.
>What experiences have you had with online payment websites?
Protx from start to finish were excellent, plenty of samples to look at,
nice integration that avoids the use of query string params to pass the
information and superb support. The only downside I've had with them was the
payment page customisation for their direct setup or whatever it was -only
really allows you to add a logo.
WorldPay are ok but I think need to pull up their socks to compete in
today's market, their payment page customisation the last time I looked at
it however was pretty good. The charges are high and support poor.
PayPal to me is still very much eBay dominated, we have used them
successfully for B2B trading too however and people aren't as put off as
they used to be now that they accept Credit Cards
Google Checkout is good but I'm not sure they offer repeat billing.
HSBC -don't touch with a barge pole, I'm saying no more :)
I can't recall what the "others" were like which kinda says it all really :)
>We are looking for ease of use for customers
Depends whether they're onsite or offsite payments for that I would say,
they're all much a muchness. Some allow repeat billing on a monthly basis
without any interaction from the user...
>lowest fees, of course.
Protx -last time I checked it was 10p per transaction up to 1,000
transactions a quarter and then ?20pm flat fee if you go above that
threshold. No other fees at all.

It seems to me "ease of use" is what /you/ make it, since you're the
one integrating the payment service with your site/cart/checkout :-)
In any case, my only experience is with Authorize.net, and their API
doc and support is great. I haven't used it but they do offer recurring
billing.

Hello All,

The asx will be used for a live broadcast.
I need to force WMP to reload continuously if the broadcast goes down for a
little bit so when it comes back on, WMP grabs it again.
Anyone know how I could do that?
I tried to make a looping ASX but it doesn't work.

our client wants a photo of a group of construction workers on their

sort of posed, with the group of workers looking into the camera. you'd
think that wouldn't be tough. you'd be wrong.
we've searched iStockphoto, Crestock, Shutterstock, and everywhere else
we can think of. if you've got a link to a photo or something specific

Hi Joel,
Getting 'use rights' may be a PITA, but many State Transportation
Departments have construction photos of various kinds and sizes.
Following links show some at Texas and Pennsylvania:
http://www.dot.state.tx.us/local_information/default.htm
http://www.dotdom3.state.pa.us/
Might be easiest to just grab your camera and go shoot a few. (Hint:
Shouting "Free Beer" may get them to look into the camera!) ;-P
Cheers,
RonL.
(Not sure what keywords to use to get similar photos in Europe or
Australia.)

or get me trampled.
yeah, we'd even thought of that. if our client already has a
construction company as *their* client, we'll ask *them* for photos.
sheesh; we've spent six hours searching, and so far I've found one
that's even close.

A while back I had need to modify the standard JavsScript cloneNode()
function. I finally did this by duplicating the function as a new
custom function, dupeNode().
By changing this function, you can modify or filter nodes as they are
passed through the duplication process.

Did you Google for construction crew images?
This one is not half bad. Perhaps it is not professional enough, but
sometimes I will run a photo like this through a PhotoShop filter to change
it a little and it starts to look pretty good.

This might get 'me' trampled, but if you have MS Office ClipArt
installed, you can search there or the MS online library for
'construction'. You can filter for photographs. Also one of my clients
got a bunch of dental/teeth (no not contruction folk who need dental
work) pics out of Broderbund clip art on dvd i think. Perhaps you could
use photoshop to 'dress' up the smiling dental staff in construction attire?

No prob - allowing for exchange rates -
If you handle 1000 or less online card payment
transaction in a month, there is a flat rate
charge of 20 GB pounds sterling. If you go over
1000 transaction in a month, your account will be
charged 10 pence per transaction by proTx.
Pence and pounds work the same as cents
and dollars (100 of one in the other).
Comparing what we paying now to what we

Hi,
We need a java developer for a mid-long term contract with one of our

* 4 Years Programming Experience
* Java and EJB. Eclipse IDE
* Database (Oracle preferred)
* XML, XSL, CSS, HTML
* Ant, CruiseControl
* Unix/Linux knowledge
I?m still waiting on the client in regards the daily rate but I have advised
them I?m expect it to be somewhere around the ?450-500 per day mark (please
let me know if you know otherwise :-)). If you are suitable or know someone
who may be, please can you contact me off list?
Thanks

We?re doing a 96 mile canoe race (the Cheshire Ring Race) on June 30th in

until we reach our target of ?2,000! For more information ?or to donate? go
to
The company I work for has well over 200 UNIQUE pages. The layout
changes dramatically on each page...
Right now, it's either table-based, or the CSS is embedded on the
page... then when they hired me, I started converting these over to be
proper xhtml/css pages.
But with so many pages, I am unsure what to do.
Do I create a .css for each page, and @include it? Do I just add it all
to the main css (which is already 50k...) or do I to the main css
and a page-specific css file in the header?
Any guidance would be appreciated, and examples of other sites with this
problem would be fantastic.
Thanks,

Subject: [thelist] How do you manage CSS for a very large site?
In-Reply-To:
Message-ID:
Hi Jon,
As a developer for a large (2000-odd static pages) local government website, we've broken our css into manageable components (a 50Kb css file is no fun to work with) and @imported them from the main css file.
Eg (inside 'styles.css'):
------------------------
/* get required stylesheets*/
@import url(styles-contentTables.css);
@import url(styles-forms.css);
@import url(styles-mainnav.css);
@import url(styles-popups.css);
@import url(styles-secondarynav.css);
@import url(styles-textformatting.css);
/* get print SS */
@import url(formprint.css);
------------------------
My advice to you would be to do the same.
50Kb? Sounds like you may need to cull some redundant rules out of your stylesheet and combine some others into a single shared rule.
For content pages whose layout changes
1. get a good idea of the 'family' of changes you're dealing with (you may find there are a handful of different page styles when all is said and done)
2. set an id in the body which identifies the page type
3. create stylesheet(s) which address these specific deviations from the normal site layout / style
4. @import the whole shebang via the main css file (once css is loaded once, it's cached so the initial load will be the only lag). This way whatever page is being loaded will apply the relevant css via the body id (if any)
My 2c,
Paul

"as you would with tables" is pretty much open to anything.....
if you are after this:
XXXXXXXXXXXX yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
XXXXXXXXXXXX yyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
XXXXXXXXXXXX yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
where X is the image and y is the text, a simple float will work :)

they all have at most three people, except the one with people of
various disciplines, not all construction workers.
I hereby declare that there does not exist on any of the stock photo
places a picture of a large-ish group of construction workers at a
construction site facing the camera.
thanks very much for all the suggestions; this has been a slightly
frustrating search, but after my suggestion, the client apparently got
something from one of *their* clients which we'll be using.

now it's been tested - i used the one off phpbuilder:
|$frames = exec("identify -format '%n' theimage.gif");
if ($frames>1) {print "This is an Animation!"; exit;}
it works perfectly - what gives is i'm setting up a site where folks can
upload images, buddy icons, etc. I will use convert to resize them.
Earlier I found some 'convert' code that will resize an animated .gif
and not make it split into separate layers. With the ability to test the
file first, I can use the leaner version on single layer images.
this is great. thanks to both of ya. -bob

IIRC the standard has it as arguments.callee.caller, not as
arguments.caller. See if changing to that one makes it work in Opera.
If that doesn't work, I seem to recall it's possible to get a stack
trace in Opera using the window.opera object, but as I'm not on my
home comp right now I'm afraid I don't have the details of how to do
that at hand.
Also, as an aside, I'd worry more about Opera 9 than Opera 8, Opera
users tend to update fairly fast compared to any of the other

Well, this isn't much of a problem for us since our application is
running on IPTV set-top-boxes where we pretty much dictates the
available versions of the software :)

It's actually function.caller, e.g. function
abc(){alert(abc.caller);}. Although going via arguments.callee is the
same difference, but arguments.callee only really exists to support
recursive anonymous functions.
Caller isn't defined in ECMAScript, and doesn't work in Opera
(http://www.opera.com/docs/specs/js/ecma/) or Safari (so I'm told).
You can resort to passing in your functions as parameters, not nice.
Or before you invoke a function, you can set its caller property, not
nice either (it's read-only anyway except for where its not supported,
then it'll work, but you'll also be able to set it to something
wrong).
Of course, unless Opera itself has some native stack-trace feature,
but I can't find anything about that.

Anyone familiar with using tinyMCE and loading content dynamically? I
assume my problem is simple, which is why I'm fairly frustrated right
now.
After successfully retrieving content via AJAX, I attempt to update
the editor using the setContent method. A flash occurs and the
content area of tinyMCE disappears. No JS error is throw in Firefox.
Here's the offending line:
tinyMCE.setContent(objJson.data)

Hello All,
I'm Embedding a Windows Media Player ASX into IE.
The asx will be used for a live broadcast.
I need to force WMP to reload continuously if the broadcast goes down for a
little bit so when it comes back on, WMP grabs it again.
Anyone know how I could do that?
I tried to make a looping ASX but it doesn't work.

The SSI file has to be on the same site as the page it's included in.
You can either use a relative path (as in your example of
"includes/header.txt"), or an absolute path that starts from the root of
the current website (i.e. it begins with "/").
So in your case, assuming your website is http://www.nist.gov/ then it
would be
If you google for "ssi #include syntax" you should find a few examples.

An SSI-included file must be on the same server; it can't be external
(what you're misleadingly calling an "absolute path", which means a
path starting with "/", at least to most people).
What you want could be made to work if your include was a CGI on
the local system that proxied the file you're interested in. A bit of a
kludge, but... :-)

That's what I'm using. I have a getStackTrace(fn) that takes a
function pointer in the current execution context and recursively
loops upwards.

Yes, I noticed. And I have seen somewhere that Mozilla will remove
support for it as well (it might have been Brendan Eich that wrote
it). Too bad since it's really useful for debugging purposes in
environments where you cannot hook up with things such as Firebug.
Anyone that knows more about this?

Agreed on the ugly part. Not to mention that it's a bit intrusive...
Humm... we're using our howngrown OO mechanism... I wonder if it would
be possible to wrap all the methods in the "classes" in some sort of
proxy-methods that can take care of that...

I'll try to find out. I have some connections at Opera so I might be

Or alternatively you could setup a cron job to download the page from
its original location and save it locally, then include that file
(assuming of course that you have permission from the site owner to do
this).

Are these web sites all on the same server? Or maybe a set of servers with in the same security context?
If they are on the same server, you could setup an includes directory that is outside of the web directory structure and include the file using the file directive, or you can setup virtual directories within each web service and call the files using the virtual include directive.
Lastly, if you have PHP on all the web servers, you can use the PHP function called include which allows you to grab via HTTP.
Hope that all makes sense.

Hello, do you have a demo page we could see? I have no experience with this
type of embedded media player but perhaps there is some variable (eg:
wmp.isPlaying) that can be checked via a javascript (which uses setTimeout()
to perform the check regularly). If it is false then the javascript could
reload the page. This works perfectly on the computer in my head :)
Good luck

Hello, do you have a demo page we could see? I have no experience with this
type of embedded media player but perhaps there is some variable (eg:
wmp.isPlaying) that can be checked via a javascript (which uses setTimeout()
to perform the check regularly). If it is false then the javascript could
reload the page. This works perfectly on the computer in my head :)
Good luck

Subject: [thelist] Force Windows Media Player To keep Reloading
Hello All,
I'm Embedding a Windows Media Player ASX into IE.
The asx will be used for a live broadcast.
I need to force WMP to reload continuously if the broadcast goes down for a
little bit so when it comes back on, WMP grabs it again.
Anyone know how I could do that?
I tried to make a looping ASX but it doesn't work.

Google Local, as others have pointed out, are the results you're
seeing.
Interesting too -- as their "universal search" platform grows,
these types of results will be more and more frequent, along with a
diversity of media types / verticals. Danny Sullivan has an
in-depth look at this well worth your time:

Message-ID: <467C2EA3.2070609@northxsouth.com>
Hello everyone, I am helping the Linux Foundation (a great consortium
that helps Linux Torvalds and works to encourage Linux adoption in the
enterprise market). But I am mostly a backend programmer. Recently,
we've been trying to apply a new design from an image comp. I spent a
lot of time making the HTML and CSS perfect, developing in Firefox.
You can see how the site is supposed to look by surfing in Firefox to
http://testmediawiki.freestandards.org/
Then I looked at the page in IE6/PC and it was *completely messed up*. I
upgraded to IE7 and it actually improved considerably, but there are
still a couple widgets on the homepage that IE7 is moving around.
I am hoping that someone here could help take a look at this page and
give me some guidance on making this work for IE. Like I said, I'm
mostly a backend programmer so I'm struggling to figure this out. I'm
hoping someone here has a lot of experience with this specific problem
and can assist me. Its for a good cause!!
Thank you...

Just FYI -- in emails you generally _want_ to use angle brackets
around a URL. _Officially, you're supposed to all the time; and in
some email clients the long ones are less likely to break if you do so.

Ryan,
IE6 is truly the bane of the web, and, as you mentioned, IE7 is only
moderately more tolerable.
I only saw one obvious thing on the page: you've got a couple element
ID's that are duplicated... that might cause display problems. Try
fixing
JS:
function detpopup(obj) {
var obj = document.getElementById(obj);
if(obj.getAttribute('title') != 'open')
{
id = obj.getAttribute('id');
obj.style.height = '300px';
obj.style.width = '600px';
obj.setAttribute('title','open');
} else {
obj.style.height = '1px';
obj.style.width = '1px';
obj.setAttribute('title','closed');
}
}
This works, which is fantastic (for me) but I don't want to have the
"onmouseover" and "onmouseout" in the HTML.
I have tried having:
Obj.onmouseover = function() {
Code...
}
But that doesn't work...

Can anyone recommend any good templates for CVs/resumes that use a
single XML file to store all the information (contact details, education
etc.) and then have a variety of XSL files for converting to various
formats? At the moment I only have a PDF version of my CV which is
generated by pdflatex, but it's not very well-structured and running it
through something like latex2html doesn't produce good results.
Unfortunately every time I search for 'cv xml template' on Google I get
lots of CVs of people who know how to use XML, but not any advice on
creating a CV.
Thanks,

On the upside - one xml file, allows for filters, based on docbook, recently used for mine
Unmaintained, old, could do the same with plain DocBook. But beyond me.
Maybe you could strip something useful from the project.
It did everything I needed with the exception that I wish it'd crank out
all the filtered version with the filter name in the filename. I think
that could be controlled in the Makefile or build.xml. HTH.

Is there a Word option to save as plain text? Then they can re-open in

Subject: [thelist] JS: Date.UTC woes
Message-ID: <2366CC22E5D@zeph.dnsalias.com>
Hi all,
I've function that's intended to count a span of time as X years, Y
months, Z weeks and Q days. In short, I'm basically "subtracting" a
past date from Now.
I must pass my params as such:
var now = Date.UTC(2007,5,22,0,0,0); // today
var then = Date.UTC(1967,6,24,0,0,0); // a past date
function TimeSpan(now,then) {
// stuff
}
This works fine, but I can't get the Now to be dynamic. Whipped up a
quick little function to generate the necessary string
(YYYY,MM,dd,0,0,0) that correctly returns "2007,5,22,0,0,0"
function UTCFormatNow() {
Now = new Date();
Year = calcYear(Now); // figures out the correct year in 4
digit format 'YYYY'
Month = Now.getMonth();
DoM = Now.getDate();
strFormatted = Year + ',' + Month + ',' + DoM + ',0,0,0'
strFormatted = strFormatted.toString(); // <-- redundant?
return strFormatted;
}
yet when I try to do Date.UTC(UTCFormatNow()), I get NaN.
It seems that I can't use any function or method it Date.UTC();
Can someone suggest how I can get the correct DateUTC for NOW, or how
to correctly insert the arguments needed?
Many thanks.

.. but Date.UTC() doesn't *take* a string as an argument, it takes 6
integers, so you're really rowing upstream here ... :-)
How 'bout:
var now = new Date();
alert( Date.UTC( now.getFullYear(),now.getMonth(),now.getDate(),0,0,0 ));
:: for simplicity's sake...

I still see glitches in Firefox, namely assumptions about font size that
don't hold true in my browsing situation (11px is too small for my
browsing situations, so I override it with a larger minimum size).
Also, one should *never* do this:
{
font-size: 12px;
line-height: 14px;
}
font-size can be overridden, possibly to the equivalent of, say, 18px.
The result is unreadable (or barely readable) text because line-height
is still 14px.

Have a look here:
http://centralbanks.org/linux/
I made a number of changes to the main stylesheet -- unfortunately, I
deleted my change log by mistake, so I can't tell you now what all I
changed. Mostly floats, and the addition of some absolute positioning
here and there.
Also, the above page doesn't resize properly; if you reduce the browser
window from full screen, the right column starts to disappear under the
other two columns. This could probably be fixed fairly easily... I just
don't have any more time to spend on it.
Anyway, if you look through 'mainb.css', hopefully you'll be able to
pick up some ideas on how to make the site work better in IE 6.

What you could do is start again from a solid base. Have a look at
http://www.positioniseverything.net/articles/pie-maker/
pagemaker_form.php
which is a really good CSS generator, with all the IE workarounds
included.
Cheers

I hope I'm not stating the obvious, but if you have an older backup
of it, you could run diff on them to see the changes.... :)

Well, my change log system is a little, er, informal :) It consists of
cutting and pasting my changed chunks of code into a second file. This
time I first overwrote my file with some stuff I shouldn't have, then
deleted it. So it's good and gone. Sigh... time to come up with a better
system I guess.

Subject: [thelist] DB conneection to a text box - How do they do this?
Message-ID: <20070624210257.DDC922419B@smtp2.34sp.com>
Hi All,
On the home page of: http://www.linkedin.com/
You can type in a big company or college, and the page automatically finds
that company or school name in their database (I am assuming it is a
database) and when you hit enter, it comes up with the number of LinkedIn
users from that place above the text boxes. I have never seen a db
connection to a form where you don't have to find the information in post or
get variables. I see this js function on the page:
-- script type="text/javascript"--
YAHOO.util.Event.addListener(window, "load", function() {
var acCompany = new acWidget("company", "searchString-gcs",
"http://www.linkedin.com/cs", ["company","name","count"]);
acCompany.init();
});
YAHOO.util.Event.addListener(window, "load", function() {
var acSchool = new acWidget("school", "searchString-gss",
"http://www.linkedin.com/ss", ["school","name","count"]);
acSchool.init();
});
--/script--
Can someone point me to a tutorial on the web that explains this? I can't
figure out what search terms to use to google for this. It is very cool.
Thanks,
Nan

It's js/ajax powered. The main page is actually written out from the
js includes at the top of the source with DOM scripting and
document.writes from the JS.
if you examine the rendered page with Firebug, you will see the input
fields, etc.
and so on for the rest of the page.

Welcome to the world of AJAX.
The Yahoo AJAX Tools are here:

IBM has some nice AJAX Tutorials:
http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/web/library/wa-ajaxintro1.html
Their resource center is a good link to have:

But you can just search google for "AJAX Tutorials" and a get a virtual

Subject: [thelist] return false... but still scrolling
Message-ID: <467F1583.1000402@hondaswap.com>
I have a simple image pallette which with JS alters the select drop down.
while this code is far from unobtrusive, the option to manually select
the color from the drop down exists which makes this OK to use (the rest
of the site is horridly coded by someone else anyway.....)
i'm using a simple: IMAGE
for lack of a better idea.
this 'link' is below the fold on my resolution. but when clicked, the
page scrolls up to # (aka, the top) and also alters the URL to include
the # in it.
I thought the return false stopped this from happening? Am i missing
something obvious?
Thanks

If there's an error in your script, it'll stop executing the script
and in this case, never get to return false. Are you getting any JS
errors?

No errors according to the FF error console or Firebug.
This is driving me nuts :(
