I have absolutely no idea what my site has that's crashing IE. I can't even test is because it crashes IE every time. My site is teenforumz(dot).com firefox, chrome, and opera work fine. Why is IE a headache... It's much appreciated if someone could tell me what script, html, or css is causing the crash. Thanks!

I'm having issues with this particular lines: previousValue = currentValue; currentValue = lastWord(currentValue); var TodaysV = $("#vB_Editor_QR_textarea").val(); var cursor_Loc = $("#vB_Editor_QR_textarea").selection().start - currentValue.length; if ((currentValue.length >= options.minChars) && (TodaysV.substring(cursor_Loc, cursor_Loc + 1) == "@")) { $input.addClass(options.loadingClass); if (!options.matchCase) currentValue = currentValue.toLowerCase(); request(currentValue, receiveData, hideResultsNow); } else { stopLoading(); select.hide(); } }; The problem is that this part is never true, when it's suppose to be. TodaysV.substring(cursor_Loc, cursor_Loc + 1) == "@" Here's what I'm trying to do, A textarea(vB_Editor_QR_textarea) with the content "random text @hello" if the cursor position is after "hello" that means that its value is 17. currentValue always equals the string after "@", so the currentValue. length is 5. cursor_Loc equals 17 minus 5, which is 12. So in conclusion: TodaysV.substring(cursor_Loc, cursor_Loc + 1) is actually... TodaysV.substring(12, 12 + 1) and since TodaysV equals "random text @hello", the value of TodaysV.substring(12, 12 + 1) should be "@" BUT it's not picking it up, if I remove that particular condition everything works ok, so I know it's that line of code. Any ideas what it could be? I included the jquery api, so that's not the issue, thought I mention it. I appreciate any help!

Anyone know where I can find a jquery autocomplete script? I have found many, but can't seem to find one for textareas. The issue is that I need the autocomplete menu to popup next to the blinking cursor and not underneath it. I found a near perfect one here: http://www.amirharel.com/2011/03/07/implementing-autocomplete-jquery-plugin-for-textarea/ The issue with the above one is that it's hard coded into the clientside. I'm trying to query the database instead of putting the values directly into the js code. Can anyone point me into the right direction?

if you're doing it for security reasons, then it's useless. _GET and _POST can always be manipulated by the user. If you're trying to hide it from the user it's also useless. I say let the user see the url, it makes no difference. If you're code if properly validated, then you have nothing to worry about. The only thing I must say is always use POST to get a password because using GET will sometimes leave the password in the url history. It would make more sense to ask for help on improving your forms and validation.

Sorry I just read your full post lol. Try this with the code I posted above: if (isset($pos)) { header("Location: ".$current_url.""); die(); }

Try this: $current_url = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']; $pos = strpos($current_url, '?', 0); $current_url = substr($current_url, 0, $pos+1); The code might need some adjustments. If you know the length of the url, you can actually shorten the code.

OK so I did what you recommended and it works better than the old one. I tried this on 1k files and it took about 3 minutes to run. I'm pretty sure it could be optimized, I just don't know what I can trim. This time my mysql didn't took a hit, but my php process was at 100%. Any room for improvement? <?php require_once 'db_connect.php'; $default_dir = "storage/2011/"; //declare $query = mysql_query("SELECT filename, thumbname FROM images"); $values_filename = array(); $values_thumbname = array(); $value_files = array(); $counter = 0; $file_counter = 0; $found = false; //store db info in array while ($row = mySql_fetch_array ($query)) { $values_filename[$counter] = $row[filename]; $values_thumbname[$counter] = $row[thumbname]; $counter++; } if(!($dp = opendir($default_dir))) die("Cannot open $default_dir."); //Store dir files in array while($file = readdir($dp)) { if(is_dir($file)) { continue; } else if($file != '.' && $file != '..') { $value_files[$file_counter] = $file; $file_counter++; }//end elseif }//end while closedir($dp); //process files for ( $index = 0; $file_counter > $index; $index += 1) { for ($nest_index = 0; $counter > $nest_index; $nest_index +=1) { if (($value_files[$index] == $values_filename[$nest_index]) || ($value_files[$index] == $values_thumbname[$nest_index])) { $found = true; $nest_index = $counter+1; //exit for loop } } if (!$found) echo $value_files[$index]."<br />"; //this is where the delete code goes. Just testing for now. $found = false;//reset it for next file. } ?>

I think I have an idea on how to do it. I would have to use mysql_fetch_array? the thing is I don't know how to cross reference them.

yeah, I have access to the server. Tough I'm not much of an expert. I just know the basics. The web seems easier for me :/ what do you mean by making a list? I thought I already made one. The script scans the dir and it cross references against the DB, if the file is not used in the DB then it gets deleted. I also added "LIMIT 1" to the query, but that didn't seem to help much.

So I just check the top command in linux and mysql went off the charts. It does a query for every file, so it will do about 100k queries. Any way to improve the query aswell? will count instead of select help?

I have approximately 50k-100k files in a directory. I'm running a script to check if any of the files are being used by the DB, if not then delete them. The problem is that I have made a quick test on a directory of just 1k files and it dies. Is there a way to optimize it? I know the script works, it's just that it takes too long to run. Even with just 1k files. And I'm pretty sure is the is_dir that's taking its sweet time. Any ideas? <?php require_once 'db_connect.php'; $default_dir = "storage/2011/"; if(!($dp = opendir($default_dir))) die("Cannot open $default_dir."); while($file = readdir($dp)) { if(is_dir($file)) { continue; } else if($file != '.' && $file != '..') { $query = "SELECT * FROM images Where filename = '".$file."' OR thumbname = '".$file."'"; $dbResult = mysql_query($query); $num_rows = mysql_num_rows($dbResult); if ($num_rows == 0){ unlink($default_dir.$file); echo $file."<br />"; } } } closedir($dp); ?>

Well the ajax is working as expected, but I wanted to submit the form once it passes the validation. This is once of those script that uses recapcha and once the user enter the right code, then the form submits. recapcha is working perfectly. But once the user enters the right recapcha code it tells them "Success!", but nothing happens...and this is where I want for the form to be submitted. Having two submit buttons is kinda weird.

So I have this recapcha form and it's working perfectly. The only problem is that after it detects that the form was entered correctly it doesn't submit the form. Here's the code: function validateCaptcha() { challengeField = $("input#recaptcha_challenge_field").val(); responseField = $("input#recaptcha_response_field").val(); //console.log(challengeField); //console.log(responseField); //return false; var html = $.ajax({ type: "POST", url: "ajax.recaptcha.php", data: "recaptcha_challenge_field=" + challengeField + "&recaptcha_response_field=" + responseField, async: false }).responseText; //console.log( html ); if(html == "success") { //Add the Action to the Form $("form").attr("action", "contact2.php"); //Indicate a Successful Captcha $("#captchaStatus").html("Success!"); // Uncomment the following line in your application return true; } else { $("#captchaStatus").html("The security code you entered did not match. Please try again."); Recaptcha.reload(); return false; } } <form action="contact2.php" method="post"> //stuff here </form> So this is the simplified version. Everything works, but I don't know excatly how I should use: $("form").attr("action", "contact2.php") Is it used correctly?

Just an update (for those that care anyways) I'm re-doing my query since my tables aren't normalized properly.
