You may perhaps be able to use XUL for this (not tested).

Hi everybody. I've got a problem. I'd like to avoid opening a new window when you have pressed the shift key and you click in the left button of the mouse. I've tried the next solution, in the body of the page I put the next code: <BODY onkeydown='notOpenNewWindow();'>

Hello, I am trying to open a window containing an image and I would like the image to be flush against the window -- i.e. have no padding or border. Can I make this happen with a single call to a window.open function? I would prefer not to create a separate HTML page. So far all I have is the basic var cwin = window.open('images/KJV-THANKS.gif', 'Thanks', 'width=243,height=420,'); cwin.focus();

Hi, I have a Javascript heavy application that I need to record stats from for each click that the user makes. For all intents and purposes this is a shopping cart application that employs a neat visual DHTML page turning. This comprises an online brochure with all content loaded in to client on page load. I had to avoid requesting new pages so that I could use this fancy page-turn feature hence the bulky use of Javascript.

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. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...
