Regex Pt. II

For some reason my page was transferring to client side when it should not have been at all. To solve the problem I put

myString.match(/^\d+$/)

in JavaScript to determine if a string had any non-numeric values. I didn't want to be passing them to my c# routines. Was getting some nasty errors, boy. I'm still figuring out why my

javascript:CallMe

was being executed at all. I'll think on it.

More User Friendly

I found some nice code to use for additional popups--nice simple popups that really make the page easy to understand. I may implement them tomorrow. I also downloaded an SDK for a phone that I just bought. The world of Linux??? Maybe not so much. I think the IDE is pretty distant from the Penguin.

more improvements

So I have simplified my page and it works better now. I have also added some instructions in the css popup that direct the user a little better. Almost ready for the world, it is. Got a G1, trying it out today. Weird change from that other smartphone I had.

Wow what I have done

I've had such a productive summer. Mainly I figured how to use pagemethods/webmethods for passing params back and forth between c# and javascript. I found out that you can't really intercept and have your way with the passed param--it's kinda untouchable until you send it back to c#. I added a little css. I got my postback(there is a section that posts back) to end up in the correct spot using a method in page_render and an anchor. I figured out what task is okay to use a postback and what ones can be ajax'd. Also learned alot about the crazy way that validation is implemented. Right now I think I have the validation pretty good where no stray values are being input. Oh yeah, I learned how valuable javascript is.

I found out how to make a textbox have a finger mouse pointer onhover. That was cool. I also figured out what needs to be done for uploading a project to a server. Currently my project is at www.tobymgraves.com and the only problem that is occurring is due to the server not saving my pictures immediately. I am constantly working to improve the page. I've tested it in IE, Firefox, Chrome, and Safari and Camino on a Mac. Also Safari on iPhone.

Now time to look for a job.
