During Flex programming, I recently ran into several questions (about box models, ways to join lines and misaligning pixels [on doctype]) regarding computer graphics and layout, where I felt that I lacked some basic background on things like
concepts like the box model
approaches mapping real numbers to a pixel raster (like font anti-aliasing)
conventions found across drawing engines, like do you count y coordinates from top or bottom, and why
I feel that reading some basic Wikipedia articles, books or tutorials on these subjects might help in phrasing my questions more specifically and debugging my code more systematically. I have repeatedly found myself writing tiny test apps in Flex, just to find out how the APIs do very basic stuff. My assumption would be that if I knew the right vocabulary and some general concepts, I could solve these questions much faster.
There's a few mentions of Javascript newbies getting starting by checking out some of Douglas Crockford's work (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11246/best-resources-to-learn-javascript), but none of his resources seem to be for those looking to learn from the ground up.
Are there any suggestions for complete beginners regarding how best to learn JavaScript?
Personally I have plenty of HTML and CSS experience, and some PHP (which would help learning JS), but for those that don't know any programming language what would you recommend?
I need my program to create and edit a config file, which would contain information about set of objects, and than read it at every execution. Is there some sort of guideline for config style that i can use?
I'm coming from an XHTML/CSS background. I don't know much about JavaScript. Would you recommend learning JavaScript before learning a server programming language?
/* in this slice of code I get an output of
bbb 55 66 77 88
aaa
the output I expect and want is
bbb 55 66 77 88
bbb
because I reassign ss from log[0] to log[1]
So my question is why is the output different from what I expect and how do I
change it to what I want?
*/
int w,x,y,z;
stringstream ss (stringstream::in | stringstream::out);
string word;
string log[2];
log[0]="aaa 11 22 33 44";
log[1]="bbb 55 66 77 88";
ss<<log[0];
ss>>word;
int k=0;
ss>>w>>x>>y>>z;

ss<<log[k];
cout<<log[k]<<endl;
ss>>word;

What does the word "literal" mean when used in context such as literal strings and literal values? what is the difference between a literal value and value?
Normally is use
$(document).ready(function() {
// do something
});
to do something after dom is loaded.
in the last time i often see
$(function() {
// do something
});
that also works. whats the difference?
I want to filter some reserved word on my title form.
$adtitle = sanitize($_POST['title']);
$ignore = array('sale','buy','rent');
if(in_array($adtitle, $ignore)) {
$_SESSION['ignore_error'] = '<strong>'.$adtitle.'</strong> cannot be use as your title';
header('Location:/submit/');
exit;
How to make something like this. If
user type Car for sale the sale
will detected as reserved keyword.
Now my current code only detect single keyword only.
I have an array like this:
int a[100];
I am filling only the first 4 elements in this array:
a[0] = 1;
a[1] = 2;
a[2] = 3;
a[3] = 4;
When I do sizeof(a)/sizeof(a[0]) it returns 100.
Is there a way I can get number of elements to which I have assinged a value and thus filtering out the remaining 96 unassigned elements?
thanks
I am adapting the Coverflow technique to work with a div. The coverflow function (included as a js file in the head section) is here. When I dynamically add a DIV, it doesn't show up in the coverflow. I am wondering if there is a way to add a destroy function to this js file so that whenever a new div add is added, I can call the destroy method and then reinstantiate. Any suggestions on how I should go about doing this?
Hello,
I would like to sanitize a string in to a URL so this is what I basically need.
Everything must be removed except alphanumeric characters and spaces and dashed.
Spaces should be converter into dashes.
Eg.
This, is the URL!
must return
this-is-the-url
Thanks
I've made a page that uses jQuery to allow you to place <div>s on the page based on your mouse coordinates when you click.
The page
And here's the javascript:
$('document').ready(function() {
$("#canvas").click(function(e){
var x = e.pageX - this.offsetLeft;
var y = e.pageY - this.offsetTop;
$(document.createElement('div')).css({'left':x + 'px', 'top':y + 'px'}).addClass('tile').appendTo('#canvas');
});
});
I've found that if you mousedown in the div#canvas and mouseup with your pointer over a placed <div> (or vice versa) then a new <div> doesn't get placed. Why is this?
I really want to learn how to program. A friend suggested I buy vs 2005 or a newer version if I'm serious about it. Is there a cheaper route? I would like to start with c#.
I am trying to run a function from a PHP script in the form action.
My code:
<?php
require_once ( 'username.php' );
echo '
<form name="form1" method="post" action="username()">
<p>
<label>
<input type="text" name="textfield" id="textfield">
</label>
</p>
<p>
<label>
<input type="submit" name="button" id="button" value="Submit">
</label>
</p>
</form>';
?>
I echo the form but I want the function "username" which is called from username.php to be executed. how can I do this in a simliar way to the above?
Hi all,
I'm using Jquery's toggle event to do some stuff when a user clicks a checkbox, like this:
$('input#myId').toggle(
function(){
//do stuff
},
function(){
//do other stuff
}
);
The problem is that the checkbox isn't being ticked when I click on the checkbox. (All the stuff I've put into the toggle event is working properly.)
I've tried the following:
$('input#myId').attr('checked', 'checked');
and
$(this).attr('checked', 'checked');
and even simply
return true;
But nothing is working. Can anyone tell me where I'm going wrong?
Edit - thanks to all who replied. Dreas' answer very nearly worked for me, except for the part that checked the attribute. This works perfectly (although it's a bit hacky)
$('input#myInput').change(function ()
{
if(!$(this).hasClass("checked"))
{
//do stuff if the checkbox isn't checked
$(this).addClass("checked");
return;
}
//do stuff if the checkbox isn't checked
$(this).removeClass('checked');
});
Thanks again to all who replied.
New guy here. I asked a while back about a sprite recolouring program that I was having difficulty with and got some great responses. Basically, I tried to write a program that would recolour pixels of all the pictures in a given folder from one given colour to another.
I believe I have it down, but, now the program is telling me that I have an invalid value specified for the red component of my colour. (ValueError: Invalid red value specified.), even though it's only being changed from 64 to 56. Any help on the matter would be appreciated!
(Here's the code, in case I messed up somewhere else; It's in Python):
import os
import media
import sys
def recolour(old, new, folder):
old_list = old.split(' ')
new_list = new.split(' ')
folder_location = os.path.join('C:\', 'Users', 'Owner', 'Spriting', folder)
for filename in os.listdir (folder):
current_file = media.load_picture(folder_location + '\\' + filename)
for pix in current_file:
if (media.get_red(pix) == int(old_list[0])) and \
(media.get_green(pix) == int(old_list[1])) and \
(media.get_blue(pix) == int(old_list[2])):
media.set_red(pix, new_list[0])
media.set_green(pix, new_list[1])
media.set_blue(pix, new_list[2])
media.save(pic)
if name == 'main':
while 1:
old = str(raw_input('Please insert the original RGB component, separated by a single space: '))
if old == 'quit':
sys.exit(0)
new = str(raw_input('Please insert the new RGB component, separated by a single space: '))
if new == 'quit':
sys.exit(0)
folder = str(raw_input('Please insert the name of the folder you wish to modify: '))
if folder == 'quit':
sys.exit(0)
else:
recolour(old, new, folder)
Hi stackoverflow,
I apologize in advance for the possible stupidity of this question. However, the following has been the source of some confusion for me and I know the people here will be able to handily clear up the confusion for me. Basically, I would like to finally understand the relationship between any and all of the following terms. Some of the terms I do actually understand pretty well, but some of them are similar in my mind and I would like to once and for all to see their relationships/distinctions laid out all at once. They are:
compiler
interpreter
bytecode
machine code
assembler
assembly language
binary
object code
executable
Ideally, an answer would use examples from Java and C++ and other well-known programming languages that a young-ish student like me would be familiar with. Also, if you want to throw in any other useful terms that would be fine too :)

Hey I'm wondering how i can get this code to work, basically i want to keep the lines of $filename as long as they contain the $user in the path. Sry, perl noob.
open STDERR, ">/dev/null";
$filename=`find -H /home | grep $file`;
@filenames = split(/\n/, $filename);
for $i (@filenames) {
if ($i =~ m/$user/) {
#keep results
} else {
delete $i; # does not work.
}
}
$filename = join ("\n", @filenames);
close STDERR;
I know you can delete like delete $array[index] but I don't have an index with this kind of loop that I know of.
