Has anyone here ever done a case where you have a select multiple form element and you have to do both server-side and client-side validation? I am honestly not sure how to do it in Javascript (I keep getting errors thrown that I can't verify because the form processes onto itself too quickly for me to check the Javascript errors) because the select multiple form element name has to be in the form of "var" because PHP will then recognize...

Before i post actual code, as i need a speedyish reply. Can i first ask if anyone knows off the top of their head, if there is a likely obvious cause to the following problem. For the moment i've reduced my form request to a simple text string entry, instead of my desired optional parameters. As i have been stuck with a single unfathomable glitch for over a year. Basically, if i enter queries such as ; "select * from table" "select * from...

Friends! I need to show the dialog "select folder" and get the path selected, using vb.net. The OpenFileDialog control is useless as I want to select a folder and not a file. In vb6 I achieved this by an OCX called DPDLG, but in .net i do not find the solution neither this ocx works in .net. Any idea? sample code?

I'm looking for a "smart folder" program to run on my Windows XP machine. I'm not having any luck finding it and think the logic behind the program is pretty simple, but I'm not sure how I'd implement this. I've done some VB6 programming and dabbled in VS.Net. Can someone share some pointers in how I could implement the following? Basically, you drag a file to the "smart" folder and, depending on the type of file and settings for that...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention.
