I'm a college student, and I'm having trouble with one of my
assignments. We creating a spell checker in javascript that has to
compare a user submitted word (using forms) to a 5 word dictionary. If
the word is spelled correctly, all we have to do is say so. If not, we
have to suggest a word from the dictionary based on the individual
letters of the word, or ask if the user wants to add the word to the
dictionary, which would incrememnt the dictionary to 6 words as long as
the browser remains open.
I'm not asking for anyone to tell me how to do this, nor am I asking
anyone to do it for me. I'm simply asking if someone could look at
what I have so far and tell me what I'm doing wrong. I'm a long way
from being done, as I've just started getting stuff to work for me.
I'm very limited in my javascript ability, as the pre-requisite class
for this one was a joke.
Here's what I have so far. What I'm trying to do is take the word the
user types in the first text box and when they press the submit button,
it shows up in the second text box:
<script type="text/javascript">
function usersubmit (form){
var x = document.submit form.userentry. value;
document.userWo rd.userWordResu lt.value = x;
}
-->
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form name=submitform onsubmit="retur n checkform(this) ;">
<input type=text name=userentry>
<input type=submit value="Submit" >
</form>
<form name=userWord onsubmit="retur n usersubmit(this );">
<input type=text name=userWordRe sult>
</form>

I'm looking for an XML editor that has a few features that you'd expect

I have a lot of respect for David Fenton and Allen Browne, but I don't
understand why people who know how to write code to completely replace
a front end do not write something that will automate the code that
implements managing unbound controls on forms given the superior
performance of unbound controls in a client/server environment. I can
easily understand a newbie using bound controls or someone with a
tight deadline. I guess I need...

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,...

I succeeded, with both firewalls in the same network. But I'm wondering if it's possible to do the same thing, with 2 Pfsense firewalls...
