Re: The Talk2 List This list has been dead.
Just a joke about not asking if my code works. The code is for the task of validating user input, and trying to catch all the ways a user could make mistakes, or try and trip up my programming. For example, think about a form on a website that asks for your first name. The name can't: -- contain punctuation other than period and apostrophe -- contain numbers other than roman numerals -- be shorter than 2 characters -- be blank -- be a space, tab, or other blank character -- be longer than about 25 characters (for a first name) Now what if it wants an email? It must: -- not have spaces -- include an at symbol -- include at least one period after the at symbol -- have at least two letters and no numbers after the last period in the address -- not include any international characters or punctuation other than period, underline, dash, and plus And I haven't even started in on countries, dates, etc. Consider that most websites have hundreds of places where a person could type something or enter some kind of data (usernames, passwords, search strings, dates, times, numbers, email addresses, IM addresses, comments, etc) . Now consider that every kind of bad data needs a specific error message for what went wrong so the user knows how he/she screwed up. That's what I've spent all day doing: checking all forms of user input on a website I'm writing, and writing error messages for every possible kind of bad input I could dream up for each kind of data. How long can a subject be? How short? How long should passwords be? What if usernames have spaces? What sorts of punctuation can be entered into a search form? If punctuation is entered into a search form, does an error need to be shown, or can it just be automatically rremoved, and the search continue? Must web addresses start with http://? What about ftp addresses? How long can a web address be? What characters can it contain? What characters must it contain, and how many? Does any of that apply to ftp addresses, if ftp addresses are allowed in the first place? Can comment and other text boxes contain html? What kind of html? What about JavaScript? As you can see, I am slowly, and ever so carefully, going completely and irrecoverably insane. Those questions are all rhetorical by the way; I've answered all the ones I need answered. Was just throwing out random examples. This public service announcement has been brought to you by the coalition against writing your own website from scratch.
