I'm trying to come up with a solution (but with no real direction to start with) where I'm trying to edit data in a td element of a table on the spot. What I want to do is when a td element containing text is clicked on, the text within this td becomes an input text field. The data within the text field, upon submission, be it via a button or enter or whatever, will be the new data within the td element after submission. Is there a viable solution to do this? Much apprecated for the help

is there anything with the data to happen server-side? if not then you wouldn't need any need of submission.
Well the thing that im mainly concerned about is the changing of the elements, but yes, the data needs to be changed server side via SQL server database

well then. the obvious thing to try is cutting out the text node(s), inserting an input element and pasting the cut text as default value. this may be different throughout the browsers, depending on the Javascript implementation (i.e. I expect IE to be less programmer friendly than the others).
whether to use a form submit or an AJAX call to send the data to the server depends on your liking.

Is there a way to prevent a form submitting when you press enter on a text
field? Some people press enter when they finish typing in a text field out
of habit I guess unconcsciously thinking it will take them to the next
field. Instead it submits the form and this causes all kinds of problems in
my case. Any javascript solution?

hey all,
Ok, a related question to my previous one on data dumpers for
postscript.
In the process of putting a form together, I'm using a lot of
placeholder variables that I really don't care about in the submitted
action. I'd therefore
like to get rid of them by doing something like:

Hello,
I hope I can explain this properly. I'm writing an application with a
tabbed-based navigation, and a form which gets filled out by users will
be split into 5 subtabs. What I need is instead of the user needing to
hit a SUBMIT button each time the form within a tab is complete (Before
clicking the next tab), I want clicking any tab to submit the data.
I'm affraid that by not doing this, people will fill out the data in
tab 1,...

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.

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,...
