Dear all,
I'm a newbie of JS. I'm starting to write a web application that has
some fields where I want to put
an help icon. When the user click on the icon, appears a new little
browser with the help inside.
I have the following code:
var header = "<html><head><l ink REL='stylesheet ' TYPE='text/css'
href='/css/help.css'></head><body><fie ldset><legend>H elp</legend>";
var footer = '</fieldset><cente r><input type=button class="button"
value="Click to close when finished"
onClick=window. close()></center></body></html>';
var cyana_protein_n ame = "Enter the protein name without spaces
inside";
function helpme(name) {
if (name=='cyana_p rotein_name') {
msg=cyana_prote in_name;
}
newwin =
window.open('', '','top=150,lef t=150,width=325 ,height=200');
if (!newwin.opener ) newwin.opener = self;
with (newwin.documen t)
{
open();
write(header);
write(msg + '<br>');
write(footer);
close();
}
}
So, for some help works well, but I'll have a lot of help to display.
Is it possible to read from the server disk a text file based on the
name passed to the helpme function
and display the file content?
Thanks Enrico

Make your help files .js files and then you can read them - easily -
from the server. It also makes it easier to handle the text as JS data
than if it is plain text.

For me, testing locally in js-quick.htm, the code
XX = window.open("js-alarm.htm", "fred")
XX.document.get ElementById("Un til").innerHTM L = "Friday"
opens js-alarm.htm and sets element Until to read Friday.
That should get you started; you can for example load a fairly general
help file instead of js-alarm.htm and customise it with something
instead of Friday.
It's a good idea to read the newsgroup and its old FAQ. See below.

Hello,
I tried to read in some large ascii files (200MB-2GB) in Python using
scipy.io.read_array, but it did not work as I expected. The whole idea
was to find a fast Python routine to read in arbitrary ascii files, to
replace Yorick (which I use right now and which is really fast, but not
as general as Python). The problem with scipy.io.read_array was, that it
is really slow, returns errors when trying to process large files and it...

I'm writing a javascript for my own use. I'd like it to read my
disk to get some information. In particular, I want to find out
how much disk is being used by some directories.
At present, I'm pasting the output of a command line "du -s" into
some text fields and using that information.
As I understand it, for security reasons javascript isn't allowed
to do disk input/output. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

I have an application where multiple clients read from a shared set of

corruption. WinNT clients inlcuding windows2000 & XP do not have this

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.
