Hey,
I posted a question yesterday that was pretty confusing. I've figured
out some of it for myself, but there's still one issue that I can't
figure out, and I've been trying for months now!
I have a pop-up menu; one of those where you scroll over the menu, and
a submenu pops up beneath it. Everything's running smoothly on every
browser I've tested with, except for one problem on every browser: the
"clearing" of the menu.
The menu itself is being called by:
onMouseOver="me nu(1)" onMouseOut="cle arIt()"
function menu(x) let's "x" refer to a predefined array, which
determines which menu to pop up. That menu is stored in a variable,
showMenu. If x==0, then it changes showMenu to a whitespace, thus
"clearing" the submenu altogether.
clearIt() is a simple function, pasted here:
function clearIt() { setTimeout("men u('0')", 7000) }
The idea is that the menu will disappear after 7 seconds. The problem
I'm having, though, is that the 7 seconds starts after the first
onMouseOut, and doesn't restart when the visitor mouses over the
second button. So, if I look at the first submenu for 6 seconds, then
when I go to the second button the menu only stays open for 1 second,
instead of starting the timer over.
Is there any way to reset this timer? I know it can be done, since
editors seem to be able to do it, but I can't find any reference to it
on Google.
TIA,
Mike 1 11958

I’m so tired from banging this problem around all day, I hope I can
explain it succinctly & accurately.
I want to execute a function immediately following a click on <input
type="RESET"...
The function will insert today’s date into a <input type="TEXT"… field.
It does it just fine with <form onload="insertDate();" where inside the
‘insertDate’ fn, I have document.form.dateField.value = dateString. The
closest I’ve been able to do...

How does setTimeout work? If the user moves the mouse or types some text
into a form, does it reset the timer? Or does it start running when first
triggered and simply timeout after that amount of time?
For example, if the timeout is set to 5 minutes and after 4.5 mins, the user
moves the mouse over the screen, does the timer reset to 5 mins or will it
still timeout after another 30 seconds?
Cheers, Rob.

rendered, otherwise my timer is not displayed. I have a flag "Hidden...

Hi, everyone,
I'm implementing a simple client/server protocol.
Now I've got a situation:
client will send server command,header paires and optionally body.
server checks headers and decides whether to accept(read) the body.
if server decided to throw(dump) the request's body, it'll send back a
response message, such as "resource already exists" and close the
connection.

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

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows.
