How can I customise something that a standard confirm() function gives
us. I need to do something like if a user clicks on a link, a popup
should say, "do you want to leave this page" and the buttons that we
need is "yes - no" instead of "ok - cancel". I tried doing it with
window.open() but without any success. I couldn't figure out how to
make a pop-up window return true or false to the main window. Anyone
got any ideas?!!
thank you,
Indu

You don't need that, trust me.

Is it impossible to do it? Is there no way I can implement it?

Do you think posts like this actually help anyone or add value at _all_?
And you accuse others of wasting usenet bandwidth? Posts like yours are
useless.
To the OP, there are a couple of options:
1) Re-word your statement to something that an ok/cancel response would fit
with
2) Use a modal dialog if your environment is IE-only
3) Use a DHTML popup or window popup, and change how your onclick handlers
in links work, so the link doesn't actually fire until the user clicks yes
or no in the popup.

Yes, if one will use his brain.

AFAIK, you can implement it in IE/Windows (and of course in any UA you
wrote ;-). But I strongly recommend against it.
There is a saying in my native language (German) that perhaps cannot be
translated accordingly: "Don't stop a rolling stone."[1]
If people decide to leave your Web site, let them. Getting on their nerves
with popping-up questions like "Do you really want to leave?" will only
make them never come back again and recommend that to all their family,
friends and colleagues. I am probably exaggerating but I think you see
the point.
If you want to notify people that the link will take them to another Web
site, mark the link accordingly which can be automated through both
server-side scripting and CSS. People will be far more thankful for that.

Even if you thought that the OP was treating this like a "support forum",
why would you even spend the time typing a response? To prove to them that
they're stupider than you, ala Nick Burns? Yours didn't even explain to the
OP what you thought was wrong with his post. Furthermore, you're not the
newsgroup police (despite what you think). In many ways, this *is* a support
forum, in addition to a discussion forum, etc.
Posts like yours are much worse than the original post, IMO.

In the recent "transforming a list into a string" thread, we've been
discussing the fact that list.pop() is O(1), but list.pop(0) is O(n). I

experimentally the expected result, but along the way, I came upon an

I used the following to generate some timing numbers for pop() on

Hi group,
I'm playing with a little generic linked list/stack library, and have a

struct node *next;

Howdy Folks,
I was just playing around in IDLE at the interactive prompt and typed
in dir({}) for the fun of it. I was quite surprised to see a pop
method defined there. I mean is that a misnomer or what? From the
literature, pop is supposed to be an operation defined for a stack
data structure. A stack is defined to be an "ordered" list data
structure. Dictionaries in Python have no order but are sequences.
Now, does anyone know...

With pop() you remove the last element of a list and return its value:

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.
