When JavaScript writes out a dialogue box (like when confirm() is called)
the header or title of that dialogue box shows up as "JavaScript
Application"... Can this title be changed so that maybe you could stick the
name of your application in it?

No.

It'd be some fancy DHTML, but you could use an absolutely positioned
DIV tag to simulate a window and put a nested DIV inside it for the
title along with some text and buttons.
<html>
<head>
<title>test</title>
<script>
//Create a MessageBox class
function MessageBox(){
var Callback;
this.Show=
function(title, text, callback){
//Setup the event handler
this.Callback = callback;
//Set the text and show it
var h = window.document .getElementById ("ConfirmTitle" );
h.innerHTML = title;
h.parentNode.st yle.display="bl ock";
window.document .getElementById ("ConfirmText") .innerHTML = text;
Callback = callback;
}
this.Hide=
function(result ){
var dv =
window.document .getElementById ("ConfirmTitle" ).parentNode;
dv.style.displa y="none";
var s = Callback + "('" + result + "');";
eval(s);
}
this.AddToPage=
function(){
//Assemble a dialog and add it to the page
var i=0; var sb = new Array();
sb[i++]="<DIV style=\"font-family:sans-serif;display:n one;
position:absolu te;left:100px;" ;
sb[i++]="top:100px; width:200; border:solid 1px gainsboro;\">";
sb[i++]="<H5 id=\"ConfirmTit le\"
style=\"backgro und-color:navy;colo r:white;\"></H5>";
sb[i++]="<P id=\"ConfirmTex t\"></P>";
sb[i++]="<input type=\"button\" value=\"yes\"
onclick=\"Msgbo x.Hide('yes');\ ">";
sb[i++]="<input type=\"button\" value=\"no\"
onclick=\"Msgbo x.Hide('no');\" >";
sb[i++]="</DIV>";
document.write( sb.join(""));
}
this.AddToPage( );
}
//Instantiate the Msgbox
var Msgbox = new MessageBox();
//Your function to do something with the result
function ResultHandler(r esult){
alert(result);
}
</script>
</head>
<body>
<A onclick="Msgbox .Show('Applicat ion Title','Text of the message
goes here... ','ResultHandle r');" href="#" > Show Message </A>
</body>
</html>

The confirm, alert and input message boxes were never designed for

Their original purpose is as relevant as the next thing. Those message boxes
are extremely useful and useable and I am sure many end users, from geeks to
total newbies, appreciate their lightweightness , straightforward ness and
absolute clarity to the point where even the buttons *always* read the same

If the OP feels the need to post two copies (almost) of a message, one
can reasonably expect that he will look for answers to both. Especially
in this case, where it's obvious that it's not an error. And anyway, why
does it matter to you?

Their original purpose is extremely relevant to explain why they look
like they do, and why the developer has almost no way to modify them or
make them look better.

The OP could have put his questions in one post. Much more convenient for
everyone. You could have pointed that out to him.

I read it! I care. Whatever. I don't like my Usenet cluttered up with this
repeating copies of messages, and undoubtedly many others feel the same way,
now and until the end of the last Usenet archive. The confirm, alert and input message boxes were never designed for
user interaction, only for debug purposes.

Sure, it is relevant to explain those things. But when deciding on a way to
communicate with visitors to a webpage, the only things that count are
current things. Not original purposes. Just like the web's original purpose
was never anything pornographic or even commercial... From your words I get
the feeling that you find it wrong to use alerts and prompts in real-life
situations with real-life users, merely because of this original purpose. I
really don't follow, can't see any logic in that.

I was not aware it was your Usenet ;-) That said, you're right that
pointing it out to the OP would have been a good move. Their original purpose is extremely relevant to explain why they look

I do find it wrong when there are many better, more elegant ways, for
example, as you pointed out, floating DIVs and the such. That said, my
intent was not to force the OP to stop using alert confirm and input,
merely to explain why they look how they do. That could have been clearer.

Python "header" files could list only the 'def' statements and

what the functions return. One could...

Hi All
I am working on a site that has a large amount of common html on all its web
pages.
I am looking for a way to place this in a single file so, if changes are
made, I can change this single file and do not have to change each and every
page.
I have the Java scripting in a common .Js file but have not been able to
find a way to do this with my html content.

Does the file extension matter when including a JavaScript file in an HTML

Normally, one would include a JavaScript file in an HTML page using
<script src="foo.JS" type="text/javascript">
However, I have found that I can use an alternate file extension, such as
<script src="foo.HTML" type="text/javascript">
It works fine with my IE 6 and Mozilla. Will it work with other browsers?

I am working with a system that allow me to add custom fields but I can not
add OnChange() language to the custom fields.
So I want to have a function in the header that recognizes when fieldx is
changed, do a calculation with the value of fieldx and change fieldy.
Can that be done without having to add an OnCHange() event to fieldx?
If so, can you give a quick example or link?

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
