Buttons from images

2010-09-03T23:33:00.000-07:00

You totally CAN make an image into a button that loads a new page without JavaScript.

The usual reason for wanting to make an image into a button without using the usual link tags, i.e.,

Here's an alternative to having to define a JavaScript function for the onclick event:

- or -

onClick="location.href='index.html'">

Apply attributes using CSS:

#clickhere {
   background-image: url('pathtoimage/image.png');
   height: 20px;
   width: 75px;
}

HTML and JavaScript for parsing E-mails and URLs

2010-03-03T14:42:00.001-08:00

HTML part:

Enter a regular expression type:

<select name="re" onchange="parseWith()">
<option value="^\W" selected="selected">Choose an expression</option>
<option value="[\w\.\-]+@[\w\.\-]+\b">E-mails</option>
<option value="\w{3,6}:/+[\w.]*">URLs</option>
</select><br />

JavaScript part:

function parseWith(){
var txtI = document.text2.Block2.value;
var re = document.text2.re.value;
var use = new RegExp(re,"g"); // RegExp constructor compiles entered value to a JavaScript valid regex
var txtO = txtI.match(use);
document.outform.result.value = txtO;
replaceCommas();
}

function replaceCommas(){
var txt = document.outform.result.value;
var re = /,/g;
var rTxt = txt.replace(re,"\n");
document.outform.result.value = rTxt;
var para = document.getElementById("label");
para.lastChild.nodeValue = "";
para.lastChild.nodeValue = "paragraph separated values";
}

Developing with Apache Derby

2009-08-19T10:39:00.000-07:00

Having problems getting your successfully compiled Java programs to run? If you are getting the annoying message that "main" was not found in the class, or "class file not found," the following will help you get your CLASSPATH variable sorted out.

This is from Robert Brunner's IBM online tutorial article,
Developing with Apache Derby -- Hitting the Trifecta: Java database development with Apache Derby, Part 3:
If you encounter an error in either using the ij tool or compiling or executing any of the Java classes, the most likely culprit is the Java CLASSPATH environmental variable. Be sure this variable contains the requisite Apache Derby JAR files, which you can do by displaying the value of this variable using the echo $CLASSPATH command; the command should produce output similar to the following (note that your Apache Derby installation may change these values slightly):

/opt/Apache/db-derby-10.2.1.6-bin/lib/derby.jar:/
/opt/Apache/db-derby-10.2.1.6-bin/lib/derbytools.jar:.

(Notice that there is a period after the last colon above. This is not a end of sentence period; it needs to be there so that the current directory is included in the CLASSPATH.
