Hello everyone,
I do not know much about javascript, so please excuse me if my question is
not clear.:
If I build a string in Javascript
string =
"http://test_server_a.s ome_domain.org" +download_trial _of_product.exe
Then use
document.locati on.href=string
It works in Firefox, the popup box says,. would you like to download this
file... and the download is what its supposed to be. However, it does not
work well in IE. All I get is a nasty pop-up box talking about downloading
an Object. What am I doing wrong?
Any help would be appreciated

You are assuming that the way Firefox behaves for you, as well as IE, is
the same way it behaves for anybody. That is far from being true. My
Firefox does not do what yours does, nor does my IE do what your IE
does. How the browser deals with a file is directly, and explicitly,
related to the way the user has the browser configured.

Hello,
I've read quite a bit of discussion on different approaches of how to
create a download progress meter that can be implemented into a Web
site. I understand that by the very nature of the way the download
transport is handled that this cannot "automatically" be done...
upload progress meters exist, but not download. However, I've seen
different theories on how it could be done if one knows the file size.
Is anyone aware of a...

Hello,
Does anyone know where I can find an ASP server side script written in
JavaScript to parse text fields from a form method='POST' using
enctype='multipart/form-data'? I'd also like it to parse the filename.
<form name='form1' method='POST' enctype='multipart/form-data'
action='sub.asp'>
<input type='text' name='title1' value='value1'>
<input type='file' name='file1'>

if i use javascript as a language (say, doing math computations) and
not using any of DOM/DHTML, it's quite a pain to always run thru
browser/html.
is there some IDE or emacs mode where i can run javascript much like a
pure scripting language where it prints to the screen?

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:

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,...
