auto-generating form value permutations..

id like to create a script that runs through a form, and autogenerates
every single permutation for every single value, as well as option.
The task is because I am currently working on a webservice project
where I am feeding in nightly a set of values from an external data
source, and populating my form with those values. In the end, I end up
resending a new query to this datasource with a custom url, including
as parameters the values chosen. Sooooo, the end goal would be to have
one massive array which I can see all of the various URL's that get
created for the user.

I hate bleek descriptions, so heres a little visual:

element1 =selectbox('opt 1','opt2','opt3 ')
element2 =textbox('val1' )
element3 =multipleselect ('multopt1' through 'multoptN')

so, a simple forloop on the 1st option within the first selectbox as
my primary choice could produce several values.. here would be 2
permutations:

values[] = arr('opt1','val 1','multopt10') ;
values[] =
arr('opt1','val 1',array('multo pt10','multiopt 33','multiopt34 '));

and then in the end( not what I am concerned about, but just to
complete the example):

URL://?selectboxid=op t1&textboxid=va l1&multiplesele ctid=multiiopt1 0
-or-
URL://?selectboxid=op t1&textboxid=va l1&multiplesele ctid[]=multiiopt10
&multipleselect id[]=multiiopt33&mu ltipleselectid[]=multiiopt34

conceptually, i just can't think how to approach this.

ideas?

Hi. This post follows "does python have useless destructors". I'm not an expert, so I hope what I will write is meaningfull and clear. Actually in Python there is no possibility to write code that follows C++ RAII pattern. Of course Python objects are not statics like in C++, but in C++ the auto_ptr class is used for enforcing this pattern for dynamical

I'm changing the layout of my site. Instead of using tables, I will use DIVs. It's working fine, except for 1 thing: In IE6 some DIVs are not the correct width. Mozilla and Opera are showing the page the way I want. Does anybody know a solution for this? First of all, the code I am using: CSS ------- body {

I'm using the following in a page that I'm testing in Mozilla: p.actionLinkBlock {border: 1px #000000 dashed; padding: 0.2cm; width: auto} But the dashed border is extending to the right-edge of the screen. I want it to only extend as far as it needs to to nicely contain the content within (a couple of links). Is width: auto the wrong property to do this? Is Mozilla rendering the style wrong?

To all those who use (X)Emacs's CC Mode to edit C, C++, Java, Objective-C, Pike, AWK or IDL: To help direct the development of CC Mode, it would be useful to find out how people use the auto-newline "minor mode" facility.

Hi, I am running into a problem of mixing UICulture = auto and allowing users to select culture using a dropdown list. I am detecting a querystring, "setlang", and when found, setting the CurrentUICulture to what's specified in the querystring. Since I want to allow UICulture auto detecting, I add UICulture = "auto" to page directive on each page.

I currently get asked about my usage of "auto". What is it for? The keyword is clearly superflous here. In contrast to the huge majority of C/C++ developers I write definitions very explicitly like that: int main(char argc, char *argv, char *env) { try { auto Exception mainException(1); mainException.setErrNo(42);

Hello, I've found a few postings of this problem but none of the answers seem to fix my problem. I have a content div wrapped around a left floated image and a right floated table. I want the table to dictate the height to the content div instead of popping out of the bottom of the content div. Seems pretty simple but too complicated for me I guess. If you know how to achieve this please share. Thanks, J /*begin code*/

Overview: 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,...

Let's talk about the concept of autonomous AI software engineers and no-code agents. These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
