WebStorm (my preference), Sublime Text 2, or Atom are popular options.

Fair enough, so either they will or they won't at this point I suppose. You're post is very educational, so hopefully at least some of the forum members here will be able to make use of it.

To be fair, your post is 4 days old and in the PHP forum. I think the point Ingolme was trying to make is that for those posts made in the Suggestions forum (which is specially for making suggestions for the W3Schools.com site) the site maintainers tend to implement them, albeit while not actually making a post or comment to that affect.

I'm pumped. I've been following it for a little while, and have also been reviewing and slowly adding TypeScript to some of my projects, so the sooner the better!

I am having a hard time following along. I don't see any buttons. Do you mean the a tags (links)? And how exactly do you want five of those to become one? What exactly does that mean? Do you mean one link with just the rating inside it instead?

You have to make your own database, using the example at the beginning of the page as a reference.

have you compared relative to those other projects? What's the overall load time for an article with your software vs that other software?

you have not listed with specific any of the tools you are using, so there's no meaningful way to help you

what's your question? The error is pretty clear, you are missing an opening { inside the databases array

where did you get that from? from a site? it's not a native PHP function so you can't use a function that's not native without actually defining it.

did you mean to connect to the mysql server first before trying to run those commands at the prompt? what happens when you try and run them in PHPMyAdmin or similar tool?

you still need to tell us the error though

If you are trying to paginate data, then yes something like AJAX would be needed after the initial load if you wanted to load new data without refreshing / reloading the current page.

I'm not really sure what you're asking for. What tracks? How do they display now? What libraries are you using? Do you have a live example somewhere? What you're presenting seems like a layout question, but you've only provided div tag and script include. It's hard to understand the issue without any context.

what's wrong? are you checking for errors in the console? It looks like you have that function scoped inside and an immediately-invoked executing function (IIEF) and so that function wont be available to your onload function, which appears to be outside that block.

are you saying you have a book that uses the mysqli extension and you still decided to use mysql instead? I would highly discourage that, mysql is deprecated, at minimum you should be using mysqli, or even better, PDO.

are you checking for Javascript errors in the console?

I see that you have marked the issue as solved, but assuming you did not remove any content from your post in your edit, you should provide actual details about the issue, as "does not work" with no frame of reference (no expected vs actual, no screens of what is considered working to you / your project, and no code) gives us literally nothing to work with.

Are you sure you are testing on a support device? http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9304503/how-to-detect-if-browser-supports-file-uploading-mobile-desktop also, this is not a PHP question, so moving to the HTML forums

You've left out the most important part. Where's the code for execute_post?

I think for mobile users you might want to reduce the calendar down to a single day view, and give the user options to scroll left / right by day, with an optional month picker / dropdown for easily moving to other months.

@stathis My guess is this code was exploiting a bug in IE8 where name and ID attributes with the same value were interchangeable? You are looking for an element with id newPlayerName var nnHidden = document.getElementById('newPlayerName'); but all you have is an element with that value for the name attribute. <INPUT type=hidden name="newPlayerName"> Try adding an id to that element with the same value <INPUT type=hidden name="newPlayerName" id="newPlayerName">

did this thread just get hijacked from the original OP? @IkeWolf Please don't post your own questions in someone else's thread.

You should use your browsers console to look for errors, that would be the first step in debugging any Javascript code.

Or send the user a confirmation email with a confirmation link validating they are the owner of said email address.
