AJAX and RIA Tools - Flex

2008 is going to be an important year for Rich Internet Applications. Most organizations are delivering or planning to deliver Rich Internet Applications; however, at the same time, most IT managers are facing a dilemma: which Rich Internet Application technology and platform to use? The number of different frameworks and libraries is too vast to even consider evaluating a fraction of them. To make this task manageable, to narrow things down to three different technologies for delivering enterprise-level Rich Internet Applications. While the first two (JSF and Flex) are proven technologies that have been used for a numbers of years, JavaFX is a new declarative language for building rich user interfaces using Java. Flex: The one for delivering Rich Internet Applications is the high-performance Flash player from Adobe. Flash player (version 9) is a ubiquitous lightweight virtual machine that's installed as a plug-in inside a browser and runs Flex applications. Flex provides a declara...

javascript limitation on array (Max Javascript Array)

The problem is not the number of array elements but the number of statements within a function. If a javascript function in IE7contains more than 32768 statements it generates this 'syntax error'. Now a javascript function contains rarely more than 250 statements unless you are filling a big array with assigment statements of course . A workaround for this is using multiple functions. Also it seems if you make multiple blocks (using { } ) within a function where each block contains less than 32768 statements the error also disappears. So the real cause of the problem in IE7 seems to be that they are using a short integer to count the number of statements within a block.

Tips to save on gas

Only buy or fill up your car or truck in the early morning when the ground temperature is still cold. Remember that all service stations have their storage tanks buried below ground. The colder the ground the more dense the gasoline, when it gets warmer gasoline expands, so buying in the afternoon or in the evening....your gallon is not exactly a gallon. In the petroleum business, the specific gravity and the temperature of the gasoline, diesel and jet fuel, ethanol and other petroleum products plays an important role. A 1-degree rise in temperature is a big deal for this business. But the service stations do not have temperature compensation at the pumps. When you're filling up do not squeeze the trigger of the nozzle to a fast mode. If you look you will see that the trigger has three (3) stages: low, middle, and high. In slow mode you should be pumping on low speed, thereby minimizing the vapors that are created while you are pumping. All hoses at the pump have a vapor return. If...
