Thanks for your help. Fortunately I also have the choice to use Postgres which means that I will be able to use triggers ;-)

Hello there, I have a problem with referential integrity in InnoDB. Let's say I have three tables: Author, Book and Author_Book which joins Author to Book (a book can have multiple authors and an author can have written multiple books). I have defined foreign keys from Author_Book to Book and...

Hi Tarwn, Yeah, I did try it with 2 blank fields next to each other... ctrl+alt+del with Opera 6, ctrl+alt+del with IE6, but Mozilla was smart enough to avoid looping :->

Hi folks, First of all, thanks for all your posts. Onpnt, I call the function the way you did. I used both with and without return. But no cigar :-< Tarwn, I tried the three ways, via id, via the getelementbyid and via the this keyword. The three work, meaning that the three checks correctly...

The funny thing is that I hard coded the focus() in the body onload attribute. And it works: it focus on the right field. If I put it in the onblur function, it does everything to the field (like changing the css) but still jumps on to the next field. Arrgh.

I just copied and paste your code and it still does not work :-< I'm using Opera 6, Mozilla 1.2 and Internet Explorer 6.

Nope. It does just the same thing: going on to the next field :-<

Here we go: <input class=&quot;style&quot; type=&quot;text&quot; name=&quot;usr_nm&quot; id=&quot;usr_nm&quot; size=&quot;20&quot; maxlength=&quot;30&quot; value=&quot;&quot; onblur=&quot;isFilled(1, 'Username');&quot; /> function isFilled(id, name) { if...

Hi, I would like to validate form fields each time the user leaves the field (onblur event), instead of doing it at once, when the form is submited. If something goes wring, a message should appear in an alert box, the bgcolor of the problematic field should be set to red and the focus should...

Hello kafmil, Just replace %20 with %0A and it should work (at least, it works on my machine). I hope this helps. Cheers, xso

Hello there, I'm afraid this is not possible. According to choices available in TopStyle and the documentation (CSS, The Defintive Guide), you have to define a length (px, pt, em...) but percentages are not allowed. Of course, you should be able to do it on the server-side, if you create your...

Hello there, Is there any direct way to see if the function ob_start('ob_gzhandler') is indeed working and compressing the file? I can see in the apache log file that the file has been compressed but I was wondering what to do in case someone has o access to the apache log file... Cheers, Xavier

Hi Cyberzany, The first step is to know the environment your pages will be running in. This is necessary in order to select a server-side programming language, that will allow the creation of dynamic pages fetching data from a database. For instance, if you run IIS, then you could select ASP...

Hi crazyboybert, Maybe you can just try and trick it a little bit. Say you put a width attribute in the select tag (using css: style=&quot;width: 300px&quot;). Now, using css again, put an attribute style=&quot;margin-left: 120px&quot; on every <option> tag. Of course, you should adjust the...

Hi there, I agree with MrTom. We have a similar situation at the office and we extract the xml we need from a database. When we need to parse the full set of data (more than a 1000 records), it takes something like 5 seconds on a Sun Ultra 5 machine. I hope this helps. Cheers, xso
