I was wondering if someone here can help me with a problem I'm having.
I'm working my way through the 'Beginning JavaScript' (2'nd Edition) book by
Wrox Press.
As I get further into the book, it seems the scripts are not working as
well.
I have 2 in particular that have me baffled; the code that I downloaded from
the site is also not running-maybe it's a browser issue?
I am not so sure how my browser settings should be configured to best run
these scripts, while still maintaining a secure environment.
The techs at Wrox say the code runs fine for them, but I have no luck, plus
the rest of the book is built on this code.
I am using IE 6 and Netscape 7 (Netscape seems to be less tempermental.)
(I am running windows XP.)
I can post the code or direct someone to the site where the code is posted,
(not sure how I should do this...)

when you are on the site on the page with this code
you copy the url (in location bar)
and you past it here
it becomes a link easily clickable
without this code no help

These are on the site as a zip file; not sure how to show you this.
The example uses frames, so there is one page inside another.
If you want to try, it's on this page: code samples for chapter 7 http://www.wrox.com/WileyCDA/WroxTit...load_code.html
The file is called 'TriviaQuiz.htm .

Yes, got it.
What is your question ?

I don't know how works XP
if it is sensible with case in names of files
the demo can't work because few files names are not correctly spelled
(some characters in lower case would have to be in upper case)
you can go here to get a soft to rename files and their links http://www.xlanguage.com/products/rename.htm
but, probably, it'll not rename files called in javascript ...
So, you have to open each file of this exercise
to verify and correct if needed all names of files called in :
- links
and
- javascript functions

XP is not case sensitive with names. No version of Windows ever has been

Don't think this is the problem, though, because the folks at Wrox said they
were immediately able to take the quiz and grade it.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but most books on the subject of
client-side scripting are notoriously bad.
As I get further into the book, it seems the scripts are not working as
well.
It's looking as though your book is another that should, in service to
users everywhere, be burnt.
I have 2 in particular that have me baffled; the code that I
downloaded from the site is also not running-maybe it's a browser
issue?
Possibly, but you never did state what exactly the problem is as you
perceive it. The general quality of both markup and code is extremely
poor, and it should not be presented as learning material to anyone.
This group has only recommended one book, as shown in the FAQ
(<URL:http://www.jibbering.c om/faq/#FAQ3_1>). However, I feel more can
be learnt through participation in this newsgroup than using any book.

We are attempting to implement security on top of a shrink-wrapped software
package and are trying to get row-level security. Here's the scenario:
1. Table dbo.BOOK contains all the information about books in every
department.
2. There are a large number of developed reports that run queries like
"select * from BOOK..."
3. We wish to have each Department only be able to see their books - without
changing the existing reports.

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.

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,...
