A friend of mine has built as simple site for use on his company's
intranet. It uses JavaScript to read comma-delimited information from a
text file and displays it in tabular form.
When I looked at the source there is js like this:
function forwardClick() {
if (sitelist.recor dset.AbsolutePo sition !=
sitelist.record set.RecordCount ) {
sitelist.record set.moveNext();
} else {
alert("You are already at the last record in the database.");
}
}
and HTML like this:
<OBJECT id="sitelist"
classid="clsid: 333C7BC4-460F-11D0-BC04-0080C7055A83" border="0"
width="0" height="0">
<PARAM name="DataURL" value="sites.tx t">
<PARAM name="UseHeader " value="True">
</OBJECT>
Obviously it's a Windows and IE only thing but is there an equivalent
for non-IE browsers and/or non-Windows OS?

This is Microsoft Data Binding
(<http://msdn.microsoft. com/workshop/author/databind/data_binding_no de_entry.asp>).
No, nothing similar yet in other rivals, but I guess they will have to
implement it - that may be this year event, like IXMLHTTPRequest was
the event of the last year. W3C already has reserved all needed tag
names and attributes in DTD's for several years.
btw Data Binding allows delegated cross-domain access (by indicating in
the data header string what domains besides the original one are
allowed to access the data)
To be fair XML/XSLT/XPath combined *do* give you some half-a**
emulation of data binding. But it's overly complicated plus lacking
many key features (like autopopulating of form elements,
zero-maintenance table sorting / record filtering etc.)

A non-equivalent workround could be to have a textarea into which the
file contents could be pasted, and to read that. Inversely for output.
Not as good; but could be better than nothing.

Hi.
I've been using display:none on the style property of some <option>
elements in my forms, which works fine with Mozilla - as expected it
removes the option from my dropdown (although it still exists in the
code). Is there an equivalent in IE?
The reasoning behind this is that I want users to rank objects using a
<select> for each place (see below), and to remove the choice of earlier
objects from <select> drop-downs later in the...

Hello fellow stylers,
What would be the best CSS equivalent of MSIE's wrap="off" and wrap="hard"?
hard Text is displayed with wordwrapping and submitted with soft returns
and line feeds.
off Wordwrapping is disabled. The lines appear exactly as the user types
them.

Is there a straightforward way of implementing a PHP equivalent to
window.setTimeout?
In a javascript web app, it's often the case that things are done on
an event driven basis. For example, html elements might have things
like onclick="buttonClicked()" to indicate that the function
buttonClicked should be run when that element is clicked.
The analogue can be done in PHP (on Windows) using com_event_sink. In
other words, you can...

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.
