    JavaScript Caching

    Hi All There was a previous thread on this, but I was wondering if there is a better solution out there now (the thread is over a year old). I have a problem with .js files caching in IE5.5 and 6.0. Clearing all temporary files does not clear cached .js files. I have tried the...

    Lock tab sequence

    Hi All Is there a way to lock tab sequence to a set of form elements (i.e. prevent tab from also going to the body, images etc.)? I would like to keep focus on valid input fields when a user tabs between them. Thanks. Cheers, Richard (Johannesburg, Shout Africa)

    Reading a zip file?

    Hi All How can I read a complex zip file in PHP? I have read the manual and the functions are straight forward but I cannot find the zlib.so library. I have even compiled zlib on my machine as a shared library but it creates a "libz.so" instead of "zlib.so". I am not sure if...

    .js cache problem

    Hi All There are a few old threads on this problem but nothing that resolves it for me. I am hoping Kathy still reads this forum and found a solution. It seems .js files are cached by the browser and not refreshed even if you clear temp files, control refresh etc. I make changes to the .js...
