I have an iframe with a form in it.  When the form submits, I want  
the parent of the iframe to go to the next page where I can use the  
form variables.  I do the submit through javascript using:
document.thinking.action="feedback.cfm";
document.thinking.submit();

But I'd like that action to target _parent.  I dunno how to do that.

thanks!

Howdy...

I've been playing with making menus using UL and LI's. It's looking
"fabulous", but I have one last thing that is driving me bonkers. When I set
the bottom margin of the UL to be zero, the links "collapse" in IE. Mozilla
is fine.

To be more descriptive, as long as the margin for the UL element is default,
the links embeded in the LI elements work on any part of the text surrounded
by the A tag. When I remove the bottom margin, the "hoverable" area over the
text shrinks also, and is only about 2 pixel in height right at the very top
of the text.

There are two UL elements, a MainTab and a SubTab. Obviously MainTab "sits"
on top of SubTab. When I reverse the two elements and their children, so
SubTab is above MainTab, the hoverable area is not collapsed. Also, if I
remove the SubTab "group" everything is hunky-dory. So it appears that
SubTab is interfering with the MainTab in some way - but I'm not sure how.
SubTab's margins are also set to 0.

I can't figure out why. Anyone ever seen this before?? I can post code via
email, but I don't have FTP access here in the office to post it to the web.
(Stupid firewall.)

Thanks in advance.

A quick google with keywords "form target" gave me this link as the first
result.

http://www.htmlcodetutorial.com/forms/_FORM_TARGET.html

And a quick google on "how to ask clever questions" gave me this link as the
first result.

I love google :)

Hope that helps,

I am uploading a csv file to the server and then exploding it in php to give
me data in arrays.

When an entry in the csv file has a comma in it, that entry is surrounded by
double quotes which helps to differentiate a textual comma from a delimiting
comma.

I want to escape the textual commas and delete the quotes before exploding
the strings into arrays.

I figured I could find the occurrences of "foo,foo" using ereg and replace
them with foo&#44;foo but I'm not sure how I should do that or if there is a
much simpler solution anyway.

Any ideas?

Something like (for simplicity i'll assume you're just converting it
commas to \,):

$subject = 'HI, my name is, "Warden, Matt"';
$foo = preg_replace('/"([^",\]*),([^",]*)"/', '"${1}\,${2}"', $subject);

Should give you:

HI, my name is, "Warden\, Matt"

Untested. You may have to escape some of the things in the expression.
If you run the regex again on the resulting content, it shouldn't
re-escape the comma (that's what the slash in the first character class
is for).

hth,

The target attribute of the form tag is what you want to use:

But that only transforms quoted strings containing only one comma.

What about quoted strings containing more than one comma?

I've tried that before and one of the mail servers between here and evolt
eats the email. ;-P So I was thinking if necessary I could munge the HTML by
replacing angle brackets with square brackets.

I just solved it; however. ;-)

I added a position: relative to the SubTab UL and that seemed to stop the
infrigement of the MainTab "air space".

Really strange.

Right you are.

The regex allows you to run multiple passes, but obviously that is not
ideal.

My regex also has a bug where it won't match this:

"hel\lo, my friend"

because it fails to match at \.

Interesting problem. Maybe something like...

$count=0;
$results = array();
$atoms = explode(',', $subject);
for ($i=0; $i<count($atoms); $i++) {
	$results[$count] = $atoms[$i];
	$quotepos = strpos($atoms[$i], '"');
	// if quote found but no second quote found...
	if ($quotepos !== FALSE
		&& strpos($atoms[$i], '"', $quotepos) === FALSE) {
		// then there was at least 1 split within an atom.
		// append the next atoms, moving the pointer along
		// with us, until the matching " is found
		for ($i=$i+1; true; $i++) {
			// repair the false split
			$results[$count] .= '\,' . $atoms[$i];
			// i would put this in the loop condition,
			// but i'm not sure whether the condition
			// is tested with type-equality or not
			if (strpos($atoms[$i], '"') !== FALSE) break;
		} // end inner for
	}
	$count++;
} // end outer for

echo implode(',', $results);

Not a regex, I know. And, again, not tested. But hopefully this helps
the OP.

Anyone recommend a 3rd party search that is reasonable priced with the
features mentioned above?  Preferably PHP based and customizable with out
programming experience.  What is the "Industry Standard" 3rd party search
tool?  Is there one?

I have been tinkering with Gr0w Search, which is easy to set up, and
customize through CSS, and also has a Sitemap feature that is pretty nifty.
The best part about Gr0w Search is that it is VERY easy to set up...although
I did have some trouble that I eventually resolved.

Gr0w Search costs 1 pound - $1.83 (I think) - when I purchased it a month or
two ago.  For that price is is great, and I suspect that anyone with a good
PHP background could really improve upon it.  If nothing else it is a great
base to work from.

IF there is anyone who uses Gr0w Search and has customized it/improved it,
I would love to hear about that, as I am not much of a PHP programmer...yet.
I tried to post to the  Gr0w site but they deleted the post?

Have you looked at the open-source Xapian search libraries?

http://www.xapian.org

Specific features:
(quite flexible and fast)
http://www.xapian.org/features.php


Other relevant schpeel (from their home page):
"If you're after a packaged search engine for your website, you should 
take a look at Omega, which is an application we supply built upon 
Xapian. But unlike most other website search solutions, Xapian's 
versatility allows you to extend Omega to meet your needs as they grow."
