I have a form of potentially 8 select menus, the goal of which is when you change the value it calculates a new cost based on the choices made. In order to bypass the annoying IFRAME issue of ruining your browser back button I'm looking into alternative scripting options - and while I am woefully unfamiliar with AJAX it seems to be my best option.

I've got a script 'working' - processing one option, but I cannot seem to see how to get it to support multiple options. All it really needs to do is parse the options into a string for PHP like foo.php?item1=THIS&item2=THAT.

The script I'm using now looks like this:

var AJAXForms = false;
var LastField = null;
var isIE = false;

if (window.XMLHttpRequest) {
  AJAXForms = new XMLHttpRequest();
}

function CheckField(field) {

  if (window.XMLHttpRequest) {
  } else if (window.ActiveXObject) {
    AJAXForms = new ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP");
  }

  AJAXForms.onreadystatechange = processChange;
  AJAXForms.open("GET", "check.php?&quantity="+field.value);
  LastField = field.name;
  AJAXForms.send(null);
}

function processChange() {
  if (AJAXForms.readyState == 4) { 
    var res = document.getElementById(LastField);
    res.innerHTML = AJAXForms.responseText;
    res.style.visibility = "visible";
  }
}

While open source is big among large enterprises, it's not so big in the small business space, which lacks IT staff. Doctors, lawyers, and indian chiefs (non-casino) depend on re-sellers for their systems. These re-sellers lie at the heart of Microsoft's market dominance.

Moderator, if this isn't allowed on this forum just let me know.

I get a lot of emails daily for various web dev and programming positions available. I found a good job, but I keep my resume up. Ya never know.

Just feel guilty constantly deleting them when I know someone may need them. Figured I'd at least post them for any coder friends that may be looking for something. I lj-cut it so it wouldn't be too obtrusive.

If these are just found to be crap, let me know and I'll stop passing them on. But some of them at least appear to have potential. They're all fresh over the past 24 hours.

To whoever is currently looking, hope these help! If it's ok, I'll send periodic digests of these if anyone finds them worthwhile.

Microsoft released a new Media Player plugin for Firefox. The WMP version 11 plugin is for Windows XP and Vista (last download on the linked page) only, but if you must view WMV video; at least the plug-in is less likely to crash Firefox. And yes, I'm told the plug-in works in the suite as well, but since I run Linux; I cannot verify this assertion.

But what if the doctor said, when your son is grown and a doctor like me, then he treats me free when I get sick. Or he treats someone else, free. Pay it forward, in other words.

So... This isn't a web design question, but I'm clueless when it comes to most Microsoft applications. I was hoping someone here might have some ideas for me.

I go to a local youth center once a week to work on their computers. It's a bit of a grassroots, low-budget project, and they've pieced together a set of machines running on XP. They're not networked, but they have internet connections. They don't have any security software built in, so a few of the computers are so choked up with junk that they're barely usable. When I tried to clean them up, I realized I'd probably have to download any security programs on my own computer and install them on CD since the browsers won't work anymore.

My question is:

What would you do in this situation? Money is an issue since it's a youth center. I can't use the browsers. Would you uninstall the browsers? Or will some antivirus software clean everything automatically? Any other issues that might come up in the process? What application would you choose?

Thanks much!

Recently, I restarted my computer only to find that my taskbar buttons no longer appear (I have XP). Everything else is there: taskbar, start menu, toolbars (like Windows Media, Quick Launch or the Language Bar), and the date/time. The taskbar is not locked. When I have a program open (like Firefox right now) a button does not show up on my taskbar. I've googled around, searched Microsoft Support, and asked around, but no one seems to know what's up. Does anyone have any ideas where my buttons went or how I can get them back? Thanks.
