I am going over some of my html/javascript beasties that I wrote for
work. I am still confounded why these don't work properly in netscape or
mozilla but do in opera6 and IE 5.5.
For example, these buttons don't display properly in mozilla:
input type=button value=Reset this form onClick=ClearForm(form1)
I copied and pasted that line into a bare html page and it displayed
fine in my Mozilla 1.3.1
Then, mozilla doesn't handle arrays, for example, this function doesn't
work:
function ClearForm(form){
for (i=0; i form.length ; i++) {
form[i].checked = false
if (form[i].value.search(/^MARGINS *\$1U? *$/) -1){form[i].checked=true}
par[i] = }
form[1].checked = true
}
Haven't tried this function in a form (yet), but a line from a function
of mine that does work may give a lead...
for (var Index = 0; Index recipientArray.length; Index ++)
maybe the var is needed?

Inserting alert()s into your function to follow its operation it seemed
to work up to and including an 'else {alert(else)}' below your 'if'
line. After that the alert()s don't run.
Also an alert() inserted to run if the 'if' is true didn't go, but I'm
sorry to admit that I don't know diddly about regular expressions so
don't know if my form entries met the criteria to make the 'if' true.
Used reg. exp. for the first time a couple of days ago to edit a huge
file in emacs. Definitely gotta learn more of that!
an alert() outside your for loop never goes, so it seems the for loop
doesn't exit? Google couldn't find me anything about that 'par[i] = '
line. What's a par
Oh, and disregard previous post about var. Makes no difference it
seems.

Redhat 8/9 hardware troubles
Hi list Been having trouble with IBM Aptiva Celeron 533 PC. Was running Red Hat 8. Troubles seemed to get progressively worse. Would work fine for a couple of days, then would have a crash, typically when shutting down. Would find that modules from XFree86 were missing. Re-install XFree86 and all it would be good again for a day or two. Finally it wouldn't install rpms anymore, so tried to upgrade to Red Hat 9. Part way through got an error that said something was wrong with either the install media or my hardware. Tested install media before and after, no errors. Repartitioned and formatted the drive and did a new install of Red Hat 9. Ran e2fsck -c (bad blocks) and got no errors. Ran memtest86 for most of a day, 13 times through it's tests, and got no errors. Now a couple of days later I find processes still running after I close apps in KDE. Just crashed again when I logged off. Don't think it's a heat problem as I haven't changed any hardware in a long time. Box isn't dusty inside. What tests might I do? Maybe just change the mother board? Power supply? both? Any suggestions welcome!

There are also a TON of settings which I don't know much about which may solve it as well :( If your TwinView works like my setup you may also have to run Impress with slideshow type 'window', which I think you will find is unsatisfactory for field use 'cause it displays Impress' menus etc the whole time.

On Mon, 2003-07-07 at 19:51, Matthew Carpenter wrote: For those of you wondering what the difference is, Multi-Screen mode uses X's ability to have two video-systems (look at the README if you have the NVIDIA driver). Each video-system has it's own K Menu etc, mouse moves between screens but no apps can. TwinView is a NVIDIA-specific feature which allows you to treat the second screen as simply an extension of your desktop. You can move apps between them and X is basically unaware that you have two screens. Thanks, Matt TwinView as you describe it is how my X works, using my PC's onboard agp video for one monitor and a pci card (old ATI Rage) for the second. Works as one 2048x768 desktop.
