All, I'm working with a bit of pesky ASP code, and have a challenge I'd love some help with. The challenge is this: the ASP outputs one tag that I need to use twice. Here's a code example of what I have: <a id=newestuser href="http://www.test.com/user?name=tom"></a> and here's a code example of what I need: <a id=newestuser href="http://www.test.com/user?name=tom">tom</a> Either that, OR the javascript could simple read in the variable (tom) and output it twice - once into the href tag, and once into the link/title area of the <a> tag. Any thoughts/suggestions/ideas? (I'm a beginner JavaScripter -- sorry if it's a basic question, and thanks for your help!) --Dave

Hi all, I'm working with a .Net application - DotNetNuke - and its quirky, slightly underdeveloped modules. Anyway - not a place for a rant. The challenge is that one of its core modules - the FAQ module - doesn't play well on a page with HTML anchors. And, given that we have a very long list of FAQs, we definitely need a way to skip around the page (from the top to lower sections, and from lower sections back to the top). I've seen a solution or two for a Javascript version of page anchors; but it assumes one Anchor per page, not multiple anchors. Does anyone have other suggestions about how we can skip up/down/around the page, without using the normal #anchor usually associated with HTML? Thanks for your help! --Dave

Hey all, The site is still rough, but does the [Librarian] popup (located on the top right of this page) seem to work for everyone? http://www.plml.org/drupal/ We should have a beta release in about a week -- we're just tweaking a couple things on the main site (http://www.theal.org) before finalizing the page content. Thanks for all your help! --Dave

Hey there, Thanks for the comments! Yep, there's a LOT of design work to do. I'm going to spend the next week designing for clarity. As an overall concept, is there anything that would make this particularly useful to you / others? --Dave

Hey all, You guys have contributed awesome thoughts in the past (e.g., to our sites http://www.codekindness.org and http://www.boolify.org), and now we have another free, public project/technology coming out. It's called "The Accomplished Librarian", and is designed to help individuals (librarians, for one) organize a wealth of link information into a much smaller footprint on their websites. How does it work? It's pretty simple: users build popup/embeddable librarians that consist of categories and containers. Each category can contain up to six containers, and each container can hold five links. The button can be embedded anywhere - in web pages, etc - although we're still working out some minor glitches. We'll have rating / commenting / top links functions working soon... And so... here's the site: http://www.theal.org -- would love your thoughts on the beta site, e.g.: * What do you like about the technology? * What could we do to make it simpler? * What could we do to make it even more useful? Thanks for your thoughts! --Dave http://www.plml.org

Hey everyone, I wonder if anyone has implemented on of the many 3rd party file upload progress bars, and if so, which they found most effective/simple to work with? Looking over the scene, I see many packages (such as MegaUploader) that haven't changed much in the years since I last integrated, and just wonder if I'm missing something new/usable. Thanks! --Dave

Hey guys, We're working to make a pro-bono emergency update to a website, http://www.twcgreaterboston.org/ . Problematically, we have the login information, but can't figure out who the host is. We've tried logging in at web.com (which seems sketchy, but is referenced in the HTML) -- but that doesn't seem to work. This is all an emergency b/c a major funding-raising campaign is headed into the wrong accounts & needs to be changed ASP -- Thanks for any help! --Dave

Hey there everyone, We're building a Drupal site, and need to find an outside, API-accessible database that we can use to host calendar and scheduling data. We need to host it externally because it needs to be compatible with a wide number of applications (e.g., Outlook, and data systems at a different organization). However, some of the data will be used within Drupal (for a public calendar); we can pull this in through various PHP-based APIs. Our current database system is QuickBase, by Intuit. QuickBase does have PHP API compatibility. However, we have the opportunity to selection another external system, if it's a good reason to switch. What other systems y'all recommend we explore if API access (for centralization) is important? Thanks for your help & suggestions! --Dave
