similar to: [OT] form design best practices for autofill?

Hello all, I'm experimenting with tlk/tk and I find it very useful. I would like to have the text of a tkentry be automatically filled when the user starts typing, according to a predetermined list. I've found a solution on the tcl wiki pages, but I don't quite know how to translate it in R... Here is the tcl code: http://wiki.tcl.tk/13267 And here is my code that does not work.

Hi everyone. I''ve just released a new website collecting all best practices about testing your rails app. You can find them at http://betterspecs.org. It''s an open source project open to any kind of discussion. Hope you''ll enjoy it. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on

I''m working on a Rails app that needs to expose a RESTful web service. I''m curious to know some of the best practices as it relates to RESTful API design. Let''s say I have a set of related objects on the server side. I''ll use the venerable subscribers, subscriptions and magazines example to lay it out. class Subscriber < AR has_many :subscriptions

Hi all, Has anyone upgraded OpenOffice.org 3.1.1 on Centos 5.3? Everything seemed fine but I have found 1 problem on Calc. The autofill does not work. Example, when I type "Jan" in cell A5 and drag the handle to cell D5, the Fill Settings dialog box pops up instead of the Feb, Mar, Apr filling in the cell automatically. When OpenOffice.org 3.1.1 from Sun is installed, it works.

Hi, I have an HP MSA 2000i as SAN (iSCSI) and since I'm starting with SANs, I'm seeking for advice. We are currently using HP Proliant 380 G5 + MSA 70 (SAS, direct-attached storage) for our production servers. At first, I thought I'd be using the SAN only for non-critical operations, like temporary additional storage for disk-based backups and snapshots, so I planned on using

I''ve used Verdana heavily in many of my sites. My graphics designer likes it and so do my clients. There is a well-reasoned discussion that goes something like: - Verdana is bigger than any other font in default size - If a user doesn''t have Verdana, what they see may be way smaller than designed - Ergo, don''t use Verdana What is everyone else doing? 80+% of my site

There is such a wealth of knowledge and personal experience on this list that I'd like to get your opinions on our current situation. Currently, we have a simple tri-homed firewall with the internal network on one interface, the dmz on another, and the dirty internet on the last. Also, there is a spare interface on the box which is unused. We use CentOS and manually maintain our rule sets

This is off-topic. I''m hoping someone on this list can point me towards more general information on finite state machines, their definition, how to build them, determining when to apply them, etc. I read Zed''s blog entry from way back when covering Ragel [1] but he hasn''t followed it up and there aren''t many pointers to external information.

I realize this isn''t specifically a Rails question, but I figure others here will have encountered it. I have a client that wants form data to be saved when leaving a page. This could include leaving a page by following a link, closing a window, or pressing the back or forwards buttons. So ... I do some research, and found this Web page:

This is way OT, but here goes... I''ve had an iBook for 2 days now and am debugging a web built with prototype/script aculo / windows / etc... I have no real experience on a Mac. Occasionally, there''s no better way to debug JavaScript than an alert in a loop... Once I have the information information I want from the alert, the loop may want to execute another 300 times. I

Apologies, this may be off-topic. I''ve been wrestling with upload issues and Apache 2.2.2 / mod_proxy_balanacer / mongrel_cluster / Mongrel on Mac OS X Server 10.4.5. Typically the first upload would be fine but the next would make the mongrel instance remain running (ps state = "R") essentially locking up that instance. Apache would then eventually do: [Fri Jun 16 16:45:54

I''m just getting back to looking at backgroundrb after a long hiatus since June. I''m looking at creating some workers but I''m a bit stuck as to how I should write tests for them. What''s the recommended approach for unit testing of workers? The project will ultimately be used by a Rails app but I''m comfortable developing the worker code as a

I have what I hope is a simple question regarding a security practice I''ve been using in my first Rails app. I want to know if it''s worthwhile or if the extra typing isn''t worth it. I have 3 models that are related to each other. class User < AR:Base has_one :library end class Library < AR:Base belongs_to :user has_many :items end class Item < AR:Base

All, First off, I know that naming directories is completely arbitrary, but I am just trying to get some opinions regarding best practices. I only use one samba share (home). There is a symlink called "share" in each users' $HOME that points to /opt/data/share, which has a *many* subdirectories (owned by certain groups). Since there are so many subdirectories, I am reluctant to

I''m working on an application where several customers will be using the same database. I want them to be able to build their own entries for various drop-down lists is if they were the only user of the application. I also don''t want to make building the drop-lists any harder than they need to be. I have thought of two ways to do this. I''d appreciate feedback and

Hi, Is it possible to recieve an xml repsonse from my rails app, and then, client side, inject the xml into the page without reloading and have it apply an xslt? Like an AJAX call, but ajax is unavailable to me. My very limited understanding suggests that xslt is only done at run time in safari at least. If I can''t get thsi to work the other option I''ve thought of is to use

I have MySQL on a Linux (RH) server and Mac OSX. I did a mysqldump on the Linux box and imported it into the database on the Mac. The following text is in one of the fields: Maui???s Westin Ka???anapali This is supposed to read Maui''s Westin Ka''anapali [note: straight quotes shown here are really apostrophes] In fact, it renders properly when served up from the Linux box

I haven''t done rails in a year, but can someone tell me if there is a plugin or how much work is it to add an auto fill function like google''s front page? Would you just use an observer on the form or is there already a built in class that can do this? Thanks!
