Asking some great encoders in irc.freenode at #javascript channel, people are having an extensive help to me. I got this code working, but here I use the mootools JS Library but still the same as native javascript syntax. $(document).addEvent('click', function(e){ console.info(e.target.get('id')); }); // This works in IE $(document).attachEvent('onclick', function(e){ alert(e.srcElement.id) // gives the id of the element being clicked }); Through it, it does prints or gives me the id of the element being clicked. It's really cool knowing this technique.

Finding ou how cool MySQL is, I gathered this statement that might be useful when doing a CLI tasks. select count(*) as number_of_tables from information_schema.tables WHERE table_schema='schema_name'; OR select count(*) as number_of_tables from information_schema.tables WHERE table_schema='schema_name' and table_type = 'BASE TABLE' ; The latter one does only selects those base tables, BASE TABLE is actually a MySQL valid value of a table_type. This link can give some information about schema -> http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/information-schema.html

IE's problem again faces some criticism to my part. I came up of this snippet that does an inline download of a file. Adding of header("Cache-Control: maxage=1"); //In seconds header("Pragma: public"); heals the problem when a file is in buffer at the client's browser. Problem occurs here is when a user attempts to open a file, it does tells that the file sort of not found or whatever Microsoft tells. " filename = unique_string(8); $fp = fopen("/tmp/{$filename}", 'w'); fwrite($fp, $contents); fclose($fp); header("Cache-Control: maxage=1"); //In seconds header("Pragma: public"); header( 'Content-Type: ' . 'application/pdf' ); header( 'Content-Disposition: inline; filename="' . basename("/tmp/{$filename}") . '.pdf' . '"'); // Add the rest of the headers header( 'Cache-Control: public' ); header( 'Co...

I just found this site that can detect acrobat reader in browser plugins. Here's the link: http://gemal.dk/browserspy/acrobat.html Viewing the source code of that page, i found these lines in the script which does the detection of pdf plugin. <object id="ocx_pdf" classid="clsid:{CA8A9780-280D-11CF-A24D-444553540000}" style="display:none"></object> <script type="text/javascript"><!-- var i_acrobatreader; var v_acrobatreader; var a_acrobatreader; if (obj(navigator.plugins)) { for (var i=0; i < navigator.plugins.length; i++) { if (navigator.plugins[i].name.toLowerCase().indexOf("adobe acrobat") >= 0) { i_acrobatreader = true; v_acrobatreader = navigator.plugins[i].description.substring(navigator.plugins[i].description.toLowerCase().lastIndexOf("version ") + 8, navigator.plugins[i].description.toLowerCase().lastIndexOf(" for")); break; } } } // --></script> <script type="te...

I just found this css snippet to somewhat like disabling the elements behind if a dialog box appears. /* Enables to disable elements behind */ .somethingDialogUnderlayWrapper { position: absolute; left: 0px; top: 0px; z-index: 998; display: none; background: transparent; } /* colors to a disabled-color */ .somethingDialogUnderlay { background: #eeeeee; opacity: 0.5; }

This morning, I was spending my time looking for web hosting and I got this WebFaction.com. Previously, it was recommended also to me by Wilson Miner (one of Django Framework's developer). Well definitely, as a programmer, you would be glad to know others suggestions or recommendations whom you might have to think as a guru or expert in some other fields that you would like to be. I did send a message to WebFaction.com, and I say wow to their fast reply. They have a good customer service and good technical staff, if you might be getting some of the topics on their forum. Here's what I've got from them... " Hi Paul, > Hi WebFaction, > > I would like to know the versions of tools you have in the server for a shared hosting plan. > > - PHP (if it's php 5 or lower, and what version is it 5.2? 5.3?) v5.2.4 > - Apache v2.2.3 > - Python v2.5.1, v2.4.3 > - Mysql v5.0.22 > - Ruby v1.8.6 > > I wanted also to know if WebFaction runs the PHP ...
