Is Java Script something out of Star Wars?

I am new to A.L.C.D (version 7) and would like to create a simple form that contains a drop down box that is linked to an access database.
I have read several articles/help files etc on setting up the link to the data base but can't get it to work?
I can creat a new data connection ok following the steps in the help file and it will show the first line of data from the database. All I get though is the annoying "dunk" sound when I click on the drop down box?
Please help?

Actually this type of programming pre-dates StarWars, including the movie. You do not program by a speaking into a microphone or clicking mouse and dragging objects, but by actual program calls with passed parameter strings and testing the return so one does not go past the end of the file. So you have to write necessary control loop to retrieve each record.
The examples I have seen all include a far amount of coplex code.
Actually I saw a Big Iron application in the 1970's that would allow the painting of input screens with selected objects, and then from a program would analyze the objects and generate all the code to create the display and pull the data as requested. But the programmers had to write some very specialized system utilities to generate the source code, compile it into object code files, and then link the object code files and object libraries to generate the applications program.

  • Script issue,Java install from script, push out to servers.

    this is a non standard install for Java that has to be installed from a script.  basically this script will run against a given amount of servers, stop the required services ( pertains to the application that requires Java on the server), uninstall
    java, install java, configure java with correct parameters and security permissions then lastly output a log file to the server that is running the script (folder) of each server .  each server will have thier own text file.   so two issues first
    java uninstalls but does not install due to a permissions error, and the other  issue that is occuring is there should be a log file for each server the
    log file will have the server name as the file namey, the script will look at the server list and run the code on that server so basically the script
    will run at the same time on all the servers, and create log file for each server and put in the folder i designate.  - this is not occuring based on the Powershell script below. what parameter is missing below. thanks

    That is usually the fix but try this now.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. See if that helps.
    You can also try this - quit Safari. From the home screen - Double tap the home button and your recent apps appear the bottom. Tap and hold down on the Safari icon until it wiggles. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the app. Tap the home button twice. Restart the iPad.

    Hi,
    yes, simply copy/paste the javascript stuff (e.g. functions)
    to a new file
    (which initially must be blank, that is, an emtpy file without
    any predefined e.g. html stuff or so !), which needs to be
    "saved as...", say, "myjavascripts.
    js" -- when doing so, please note that the original
    javascript start/end - tags surrounding your e.g. functions...
    <script language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript">
    <!--
    and
    //-->
    </script>
    must NOT be copied/pasted to the external file -- only the
    inherent javascript stuff, otherwise you´ll get some
    javascript errors !
    Your external .js - file needs to be included like this
    within the <head>...</head> - part of your document:
    <script type="text/javascript"
    src="path_to_your_script/myjavascripts.js"></script>

  • Dreamweaver 8: Java script in Design Mode

    Mac OS 10.4.11 Dreamweaver 8
    I have a web page with a java script that displays a random picture from a list of images each time you reload the page.
    http://www.irises.org
    It renders fine when viewed in a browser, but the image does not display when viewed in Dreamweaver Design mode. The random image does not display and lacking the image other things are out of place.
    The script that sets up the image array:
    <!-- Begin
    // Set up the image files to be used.
    var theImages = new Array() // do not change this
    // To add more image files, continue with the
    // pattern below, adding to the array.
    theImages[0] = 'images/home-rotate-1.jpg'
    theImages[1] = 'images/home-rotate-2.jpg'
    theImages[2] = 'images/home-rotate-3.jpg'
    theImages[3] = 'images/home-rotate-4.jpg'
    theImages[4] = 'images/home-rotate-5.jpg'
    theImages[5] = 'images/home-rotate-6.jpg'
    theImages[6] = 'images/home-rotate-7.jpg'
    theImages[7] = 'images/home-rotate-8.jpg'
    theImages[8] = 'images/home-rotate-9.jpg'
    theImages[9] = 'images/home-rotate-10.jpg'
    theImages[10] = 'images/home-rotate-11.jpg'
    theImages[11] = 'images/home-rotate-12.jpg'
    theImages[12] = 'images/home-rotate-13.jpg'
    theImages[13] = 'images/home-rotate-14.jpg'
    theImages[14] = 'images/home-rotate-15.jpg'
    theImages[15] = 'images/home-rotate-16.jpg'
    theImages[16] = 'images/home-rotate-17.jpg'
    // do not edit anything below this line
    var j = 0
    var p = theImages.length;
    var preBuffer = new Array()
    for (i = 0; i < p; i++){
       preBuffer[i] = new Image()
       preBuffer[i].src = theImages[i]
    var whichImage = Math.round(Math.random()*(p-1));
    function showImage(){
    document.write('<img src="'+theImages[whichImage]+'">');
    //  End -->
    The code (further down the page after the all the list elements) that generates the image:
               <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
    <!-- This script and many more are available free online at -->
    <!-- The JavaScript Source!! http://javascript.internet.com -->
    <!-- Begin
    showImage();
    //  End -->
    </script>
    Is there a way to get it to display correctly in the Design mode?
    Thanks
    <br />
    </script>

    Is there a way to get it to display correctly in the Design mode?
    I don't think so, at least not with this script.  What you need is for an image to be displayed on the page by default, and for the javascript to only change the src attribute's value.  Something like this -
    At the point where you want the image have -
    <img src="the_path_to_some_default_image.jpg" id="rotation" />
    and in the javascript, change this -
    document.write('<img src="'+theImages[whichImage]+'">');
    to this -
    document.getElementById('rotation').src='theImages[whichImage]';
    See if that works....

  • Sreaming at the top of my lungs for HELP with Java Script problem!

    Hello,
    I have this strange problem that no one seems to know why or how to fix it.Whenever I encounter a web site that has java scripting for anything pop ups or redirects to url's anything that says java script when I mouse over the link my browsers do nothing.That is for explorer 6.0 beta netscape 4.7 and netscape version 6.I have tried in another forum some suggestions but nothing changed even though I am told nothing is wrong with the java scripting.I used to be able to click java script's with all of these browsers but no longer.That was a few months ago.Now to try something new I tried to see if a new browser would work.I now have the latest version of Opera.It did work but using Opera on some sites limits what I can do so it doesn't solve my problem.Then I tried the Sun JavaHot browser it also worked but limits what I can do on some site's.I have Windows 98 & updated most of my dll's etc & my java is version 2 1.3.1.My java script is enabled in Explorer & netscape's & the security is at a minimum level.Please help me figure out why these other browsers work but the other's do not.I want to edit a web site of mine but I can't because of this problem.I am very frustrated by this and need as detailed help as I can get.Anything of a suggestion would be very much appreciated.But I am also not an expert on the working's of a computer so bear with me.

    Hi All,

    Below are the three where we have specail character
    words as
    1. transfer (…)
    2. Shell’s
    3. Vitol – as
    The above 3 are having some specail characters which we need to
    replace as mentioned below
    need to use a Function/Method in some scripting language like Java
    script to replace the special character with a predefined sequence eg:
    single quote with “a1b1” before inserting the data in to the data base
    and then while retrieving the record from the database replace “a1b1”
    with single quote.
    Note#:It is a text area where user can either enter or copy and paste
    the content.
    Thanks,
    Anoo..

    Hi Anoo,
    always remember to put your apex and database versions, it makes it easier to help.
    You mentioned stripping out special characters and then putting them back for display. Is there a particular reason why?
    If you're having difficulty querying the 'special' characters from SQL, you can create a view to handle that complexity.
    The examples you gave don't contain any characters you can't query on. Maybe I'm missing something.

    [...]how it was never designed to be used for

    always makes fun of Java, saying java gives you far
    less control, it prevents you from making mistakes.
    No control over unsigned/ signed values, pointers
    etc. Yes. But broadly speaking that's the point. Java sacrifices control over such things. The return, however, is that programmers are able to be more productive because of the great swathes of problems that can no longer arise.
    The mistake is in assuming that Java is the best tool for everything. It isn't, and in fact no language us. As it turns out, Java is just great for building enterprise systems. It has a few other strengths, some of which (applets for example) have been more important in its original uptake but are now relatively minor features.
    You don't write an enterprise website in Intel assembly, and you don't write device drivers in Java.
    Not saying its not good but its good for
    smaller applications like cell phones and
    mini-computers.I think you mean something different by mini-computers to what I mean...
    Its portability is actually the main point in its favour for use in cell phones. If it weren't for that, I think C or C++ would probably have sole ownership of that space.
    Now i'm not saying any thing against it just
    confused on why a class like data-structures at my
    University [...] would be taught using java when C would
    probably be a lot better for Very Large ADTS.You and Joel Spolsky:
    http://www.joelonsoftware.com/articles/ThePerilsofJavaSchools.html
    I disagree, because I don't think it much matters what language you learn - experience trumps any particular initial language choice. If you're still using Java in 15 years I'll be fairly surprised.
