Re: [PHP] Disabling bars on Browser

Bob/pickle,

I disagree -- Justin French has contributed a large number of helpful 
posts to this list.  Just the other day, he responded to my query for 
advice -- http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-
generalm=101779873317529w=2
It is foolish to look the gift horse of free coding advice in the mouth 
(something that many companies will be happy to charge you for).

I'm guilty too of making offtopic posts, but when someone reminds me of 
this I try not to take it personally, even when it makes me feel like an 
idiot in this public forum.  I try to remember that a friendly tone of 
voice doesn't carry very well via email.

There's plenty of other groups which will answer JavaScript-related 
questions, but it is your responsibility to find them.


Erik

 This is the wrong group/list for this post.

 The disabling of bars, or any sort of browser feature/appearance is NOT
 PHP.

 PHP is a server side langauge.  Commonly, you would use JavaScript for
 such
 stuff, so I recommend you check out the millions of JavaScript sites 
 and
 newsgroups on the web.

 SCRIPT LANGUAGE=javascript
 window.open('https://secure.authorize.net/gateway/transact.dll',

 /SCRIPT
 
 or some way I could pass the info from a form to that opened page.
 Thanks,

It looks like you didn't even read the message.  He knew how to do it with
javascript, but he needed to pass information to it, and he wanted to know
that!  And, even if he was wrong, you don't need to be so harsh!  We aren't

Re: [PHP] Disabling bars on Browser

2002-04-07 Thread Justin French

Bob,

I don't think I'm better than anyone on this list at all.  We all here to
learn, and help when we can.

In fact, I also made the mistake of asking the wrong questions in here when
I first joined.  It was pointed out to me that I was off topic, and I learnt
from my mistakes.

I don't know if you're a member of any other lists, but most lists do not
tolerate any off topic posts, and they usually respond with a flame -- the
Perl groups being an excellent example.

The reason why?  High volume lists like this need to be kept on topic, in
order to remain a valued resource, and to keep the valued contributors on
the list.  If the list becomes cluttered, or if the experts have to wade
through too much bullshit, they become frustrated and leave.


The fact is that this list has been highly tolerant of off topic posts, but
the traffic in the group is becoming a lot higher, and MANY contributors
have welcomed the concept of guidelines and trimming the list down to
on-topic posts, wherever possible.


I'm sorry if you don't feel the same way.  I don't believe I was rude, and I
did advise them what topics it did relate to.

Perhaps the problem is that I didn't use enough :)'s or list thousands of
links to JavaScript newsgroups??  Gee, sorry.


As far as this goes:

 You
 rarely even give an answer that isn't blatent criticism of what someone
 posted or their ability to find information.

a) I've only ever made THREE posts about OT posts, compared to the 100's of
(hopefully) helpful on-topic posts, some of which took quite a lot of time
to prepare.

b) I was recently congratulated in public and private by many users for
finally speaking up a little.


I've only received one complaint so far, and that would be you.

2002-04-07 Thread Justin French

Hi,

Yeah, it looks like I appeared a little harsher than I intended, and I'll
try not to do that again, but the subject line, and the message reek of
JavaScript:

 I was just wondering if there was any way to turn off the bars at the top of
 the browser window with PHP. If not does anyone know a way that I could make
 it so that I could pass information from a form to window that I pop open
 with javascript.

I didn't read the whole thread, and it looks like it went off in a tangent
from there.

It was not my intention to flame this guy, just point him in the right
direction.

Luckily, he's found what he's after, and all is well.
