[thelist] basic xmlhttprequest

I have a form and I would like to have a combobox that allows the user
to choose values from a drop-down list or type it in the text box with
keyboard navigation (using arrow keys) that references my contacts
from my 37signals highrise account. The highrise api is here http://developer.37signals.com/highrise/
. I know this is basic AJAX stuff, but I am not sure where to
start. I am hoping there is a template out there where all i have to
do is enter a url to fetch the data along with the appropriate place
to put in the authentication. Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Marc

I would in all honesty move to YouTube. In that case, you can use
their API
with your web system, including you own payer, etc if you want, and be
able
to have your clients upload or what have you without having to create
accounts, etc. I've only briefly looked into it (we're probably going
to use
it for a website we're working on since it saves us from having to worry
about it), but it seems like it would be the best for you.
Im my opinion, it's always better to provide your clients with the
best you
can offer them. I'm sure retraining won't be an issue at all
(especially if
you don't mind them uploading videos to one account and having your
site or
what have you manage where they go).

Constant Contact can provide a report of all bounces due to nonexistent

were they suspended the second time?
CC is telling them their list is faulty. if it's full of garbage, the
solution is to clean up the list. if they've annoyed CC enough by
sending out two dirty lists, they can't expect CC to be accessories to
spamming, right?
perhaps I'm not clear on what problem we're trying to solve.

This is Joomla, but I think that is immaterial:
update jos_content set attribs = (select attribs from jos_content where
id=191) where id=180;
ERROR 1093 (HY000): You can't specify target table 'jos_content' for
update in FROM clause
I am guessing this means that I cannot use the same table for both the
select and update. If so, what is a workaround?

Hi Bob,
Are you doing this on the command line? If so, you can use mysql
variables to store the information from the select query:
@attribs := select attribs from jos_content where id=191;
update jos_content set attribs = @attribs where id=180;
Or am I missing something?

Have you checked the firewall of the server hosting the files? It may
be blocking your new servers IP.

My first guess is that the new server can't resolve the urls you are
including. Try doing a lookup from the command line or using curl to
resolve the urls and see if it is a local dns issue.

Apologies, let me clarify:
The site was previously coded referencing itself in the URL's.
Specifically,
the coder at the time didn't know a better method, so in order to pass
variables to a PHP included script, they were doing:
http://thissite.com/scriptname.php?getvariable=value
While I know that's not called for, that's how it was done. I -doubt-
it's
the firewall, since I know port 80 is open (unless php is making
requests to
a different port).

It could still be a DNS issue, but...
Now that I've been thinking about it, this happened right after we
changed
domain names. I'm wondering if someone didn't set the Apache
configuration
up correctly or something.
In either case, I'm about ready to give up finding the answer and simply
waiting until I can recode the site. Thanks for everyone's ideas. I'm
afraid
I don't even have all the information I'd need to solve it myself, let
alone
paint a decent technical picture for others to be able to solve it.

This is a rough outline of what I'd do:
<?
$arr = mysql_fetch_assoc(mysql_query("SELECT attrs FROM table
WHERE id =
#"));
$terms = array();
foreach($arr as $k=>$v)
$terms[] = "$k = '$v'";
mysql_query("UPDATE table SET ".implode(", ",$terms)." WHERE id =
#");
?>
But I'm pretty lazy right now, and can't afford to look up SQL
workarounds.

Appreciate the comments Joel. I know my query was a little vague, I

that any other email marketing provider would have the same policies as
Constant Contact.

Just the sheer volume of spam reports. The mailing list is years old so
some people on it probably won't even remember signing up, plus the

operator names who people are more likely to be familiar with.

Totally agree, I think the problem comes from the client previously
being able to email the full list via Outlook or similar with no
repercussions and now they are a bit frustrated as the emails do
generate significant business for them.
I think maybe some client education/training is the way forward.

You could tell your client that all of these email marketing companies
HAVE
to be on top of their customers not abusing their services because if
they
allow abuse, they risk getting blocked by all the big ISPs. It would put
them out of business.

Maybe you could convince your client to run a new opt-in campaign so
that only those who *still* want the mailings will get them.

absolutely. people need to learn about permission marketing if they
wanna continue succeeding on the web.
perhaps suggest Seth Godin's book by that name, 'Permission Marketing' ?
or his latest, 'Tribes'-both excellent commentary on building and
maintaining relationships, and why it's not only the ethical choice, but
the best business choice.
(then maybe they'll read his seven books in between and be the
best-marketed biz in their field.)

Hi guys,
This has always stumped me. Usually I end up going about the problem a
completely different way and drop addEventListener completely, but I'd
like
to get to the bottom of what I'm missing.
Here is the problematic line of script:
th3s[i].addEventListener('click', 'changeTab('+i+')', false);
This is inside a for loop, and the event needs to be evaluated ? which I
can't seem to make it do. Firebug tells me that it "could not convert
JavaScript argument" on this line.
th3s is an array of elements and they're all fine. I'm working out how
to do
this the ECMA way, so don't put it down to IE not understanding that
function ? I'll deal with it when I can make this work in the real
world.

The second argument to addEventListener needs to be a function, not a
string.

Are you just trying to get a reference to the element that triggered
changeTab()? You do not need to pass in 'i' for that.

Jason, I tried this after throwing the whole thing in led it to
execute as
and when it occurred in the code ? basically I was trying to make it
evaluate the statement. Which I now realise is silly.
Matt, thanks a lot for that. As it happens, I *can* get all the info I
need
from the source element. I had no idea about event.srcElement ?
powerfully
wicked stuff. So much for evals ;)
