How to get the title of the song and its author to scroll them on the title bar in this Web radio
Ok, one thing I noticed...your VBScript would function just as well as a JavaScript confirm() popup; last I checked, window.close() works in JS too, so no need to mix scripting languages there ;) Aside from that, I wasn't able to catch where you're obtaining/printing the title/artist/etc for...- robherc

Split string into individual characters
As an aside note; in my MIPS little-endian + XBurst SIMD set disassembler I'm currently working on, I have used a code *very* similar to "example A" above for manipulating strings without the use of the <strings.h> header (would make things easier, but I hate the bloat of all those unused... -
Using certain characters as strings
hmm, add one more strike against MoneySloth (aka MicroSoft) for failing to comply with YET ANOTHER standards mandate.....what's that put us up to now? I know it's in the high tens, to low hundreds, of thousands; at the VERY least. BTW, WHY is anyone still actually paying MONEY for their crap...- robherc

Having just started to loo at Java,
Ok, now we're getting a bit more involved with this than I had at first guessed...one thing I might suggest, if you'd like, is that we take parts of this conversation to a different medium (these forums are excellent for less involved tasks, but phone calls & webconferences work better when you...- robherc

Having just started to loo at Java,
Actually; since you can reprogram the servee easily enough; wjy not just use a <meta refresh> html tag in the <head> of the page. Then you could simply have the server set up as an http host; with each client simply loading the self-refreshing page in a full-screen browser...set it to refresh...- robherc

inner html refresh question
Well, with as general as your question was; it sounds to me like your problems (and how to solve them) are: 1.) You should never, ever, EVER program JavaScript while playing with a Microsoft browser, unless it's an app you're making for internal use only on a business/personal network where all...- robherc

Having just started to loo at Java,
1.) Yes, you can accomplish this with virtually any language that can compile (or script) a program to run on that computer. 2.) As you mentioned being new to "Java"... what language are you wanting to write this in? Are you interested in Java (compiled, platform-independant apps), or...- robherc

Turning off tabs view
Are you an administrator for this site, trying to add/change functionality of your site; or are you an "end user" trying to modify your personal view of the site? Either way, I'm certain it can be done with javascript, but the method to get there would be vastly different ;) I hope this helps...- robherc

fread misreading character 255
Well, now I must admit to a moronic mistake..... After a few shots at replicating the error by modifying your .c file with my functions, I found the problem, well, at least I found the *current* problem. After my "case 255:" statement, I'd forgotten to insert a "break;" before the "default"... -
fread misreading character 255
Hi; I've worked out all but 1 of the bugs in my first truly functional program in C. The Bug: Every time the fread() function in my program comes across a 0xFF character in the source file, it's feeding *something* outside the bounds of 0-255 into the corresponding unsigned char in my buffer... -
Issue with screen size
ok, now that I'm on a "real" computer again: mode con cols=100 lines=50 sets your DOSbox to display 100chars wide by 50 chars high...use the commands from the c:\> prompt, or in a batch file ;-) I hope this helps; robherc -
Issue with screen size
Oops, I used the wrong code block anywise... mode con cols=xxx mode con rows=yy ...Don't quote me still, but I THINK those are the right commands...will verify later, when I'm not on my BlackBerry (no DOSbox) I hope this helps; robherc -
Issue with screen size
That code block was written in batch, not QBasic...those are DOS shell commands for changing the screen configuration. There is a QB command to set those parameters (I know, because I've used it) from within your program but, unfortunately I don't remember it at the moment. I hope this helps... -
Evaluating a string
lol, ok thanks...was just wanting to use it to access already created objects, but I understand the reason why it's not usable...just had to check ;) FYI, I'm using a book too, just the kind of person who constantly infuriates trainers by getting 3 steps ahead of the instruction ;) Java... -
Evaluating a string
You're right, I could avoid this problem in this particular situation by placing the button objects in an array... But my primary concern here is learning the Language better. So I'm wanting to use the string if it's possible, or, if I find that it's impossible, I'll have to adjust my...
