Bob, i want to solve this problem also in the future.

You were also pretty nnegative about my phpBB3 campaign but i hope you see that it is pretty nice now that it is implemented ...

Ok for the cookie problem mvs was handling ...

Why can't you go for the same idea as the login code but with an autosafe drafts function?

Code: Select all

// Function to remember the login details in a cookie.
function RememberMe()
{
// Get the login data.
var username = document.getElementById('txtUsername').value;
var password = document.getElementById('txtPassword').value;

// Remember the cookie for 100 days from now.
var date = new Date();
date.setTime( date.getTime() + (8640000000) );

// Set the cookie.
document.cookie = "Username=" + username + "; expires=" + date.toGMTString() + "; path=/";
document.cookie = "Password=" + password + "; expires=" + date.toGMTString() + "; path=/";
}

' Read and set the username and password from the cookies.
If IsNothing(Request.Cookies("Username")) = False Then txtUserName.Text = Request.Cookies("Username").Value
If IsNothing(Request.Cookies("Password")) = False Then txtPassword.Text = Request.Cookies("Password").Value




In this cookie you would have to change the variables to of the username and password to certain fields.

It also has an autorestore function and you can re"call" your work as the get the log in date function works ...

MVS ... Tomorrow i'll be back, for now i did this just on a huge amount of duvel (the beer i said you had to take in brussels) I will be back when sober

I don't remember being negative, just more making fun of you a bit for harping on it so much.

However, I'll concede the point to you. If you thought I was negative about it, I apologize. And you were right that it's a better format.

I will be back when sober

You're sober now?

Am I right Haters?

I don't see why this cookie thing is more important than my request for blinking text. If we had blinking text, the forums would be much better.

Agreed!!! Badly needed.





(Ok I promise I'm done posting in this thread for tonight).

Why can't you go for simply writing the page in word before just cutting and pasting? It also has the advantage of spell check.

I entered pages directly a few times when I was new, but not doing it is word first is simply silly and a bad way of doing things.

Where did i complain about my camera?
I don't have a camera, I use my cellphone as a camera and just take pics for my mother in belgium so she knows what i'm doing here ...

I had this happen to me once, Johnny....ONCE!



Heed the words of Bob and drink your medicene like the rest of us do. Type it in Word, Notepad, GMail, Excel, OneNote, PDF, WordPad, CellFrame, Lotus Notes, Yahoo Mail, hell Visio might even work.
Plan on contigencies happening and when they do happen, you'll prepared! Preventitive medicene my friend!
......
You wouldn't go snow climbing w/o axe or crampons would you? You bring em' to prevent your trip report from [possibly] not getting typed and told!
You wouldn't go skiing without gloves would you? You bring em' cause having no fingers really puts a damper on the social/dating scene!
You wouldn't go kill whatever bug had gotton up your girffriend/wife's ass without putting on a condom first, would you? You would...ah, never mind.
You wouldn't type up a 90 page dissertation or medical review on the latest anti-rejection methods for implant devices without saving your work, would you?
Saving something as piddly but subjectively as important as a trip report IS NO DIFFERENT. Take some responsibility that you 'gawfed' and just save it next time.
Stop showing your ovaries.

I know my opinion is greatly appreciated here, but I THINK we should bring back The Flashing Llama .. ...

Sirjerkletwink, why don't you STFU and quit whining.

If you have the answers, why don't you just start your own site?









Oh, wait...

HA HA!!! Started the day out right. +1

And apologies from me. My assertion that cookies are so limited in size just isn't true. It's just because when I did web programming years ago it either was true due to browser limitations or we were just so scared of crashing the servers by uploading massive cookies on every request that we wished it were true. My bad. Fill your cookie up with your book manuscript and have fun.

MVS, i'll take through another channel about this, you can do it but in php you need a P3P cookie setting which ain't allowed no longer in IE6.

Also it seems that it is hard to protect it since I found some solutions but all give the solution the make an easy hack into the databasxe of summitpost which can't be the point ...
Seems like it is hard to create a thing like this where it is impossible to change some of the cookie so you can make a hack out of it ...

EDIT: just because ...
