  1. :) The forbidden eval. So it provides you with remote access allowing you to run scripts and you can condition the environment using various headers with the code? Thats pretty cool, I'm getting a picture similar to a JavaBean program I ran across once that provided you with a web based terminal and allowed you to execute java code.
  2. Here's a little try-out editor for phphttp://writecodeonline.com/php/If you try typing in something like phpinfo() and you will see it has blocked any dangerous commands.
    That is a decent attempt but not very practical :) . If it were purely JavaScript based you could enable a lot more functions and worry less about server side security. Hmmm, a try-it editor browser plugin might be even cooler. I think I'll write that down.
    I'm actually working on a tool like that. You install it on your own system, so there are no limitations. I haven't released it yet because it lacks a few bells and whistles. But I've taken to using it all the time when I'm testing new code ideas, and also to solve problems that come up on this board. It's way faster than editing an actual document every time. Since I've been using it, my answers to PHP questions have gotten more thorough with a lot less work. Yay.
    That sounds cool DD what language are you writing it in?
  3. Not going to happen. It would be an enormous security threat to allow people to enter arbitrary server-side code for the server to execute. That goes for both PHP and ASP. There's no try-it editor for ASP code, either. Only client-side code. If you want to execute server-side code you need your own server (or space on someone else's). If you want to set up your own site to allow people to execute their own PHP code, fine, but don't expect your server to stay online very long.
    A cool try-it might be a simple JavaScript based PHP interpreter one that can handle the basic functions, I mean if this is possible then why not? I'm just throwing in my two cents in case the owners read this I don't actually expect it but if it does happen then hats off.
  4. Hello all.My name is Paul I am 44 and I live in the London area. I am a design engineer by day and MMO gamer by night.I am a self confessed web design noob and am looking for some sage advice.I have been teaching myself HTML & CSS with the help of W3Schools, Komposer and Notepad++ and am in the process of putting a very, lets say, basic site together.
    The link is down... :)
  5. I've really been enjoying Opera Dragonfly. It is web-based, which has its advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that it does affect the browser's speed until you load the console. I believe it is possible to download the Dragonfly script so it is running locally.
    Isn't it local by default? I used it on my localhost.
  6. FireBug 1.7 seems to be a little bit laggy in comparison to its predecessor. Especially on the script tab. As I'm scrolling through my (couple thousand) lines of code it takes about a half second for it to refresh and display the code. With the older version it was smooth scrolling.
    There were some fixes I think. I installed 1.7 the day it came out and now I'm seeing its incompatible with ff3.
  7. Well I read on a blog somewhere that firefox's tabs etc. had this look since early development. I'm sure this is going to spark debate on the web but I don't consider it a rip off. The web browsers needs some consistency.

  8. About Firefox 4. I've been playing around with the new Web Console. As advertised, it's not Firebug. But it's more useful, I think, than the Error Console. A lot more information is available. And it still provides a JS line editor, which makes me very happy. :)
    Don't forget firebug 1.7 is out also. Since the last security updates I've been getting some crashes on ff3.6 when trying to view the JavaScript call stack.Mark H firefox now lets you group tabs using drag and drop. You can also add icons for your plugins on your toolbar and they made some updates to sync. My ff is bloated with plugins andto be honest its still slow even with ff4. Time for some spring cleaning.
  9. Yeah a lookup on an ip is pretty simple but the potential to integrate a map more deeper with a web site (say a map that multiple visitors can interact with at the same time for example) through Javascript and HTML is what attracts me. I know there are different map apis out there but I prefer things when they are standard, it saves me a lot of time spent on research and learning.Good links on your site though I'm bookmarking them.

  10. They made it look more like Opera, which is obviously becoming the future interface style for web browsers. :) On the HTML5 side of things, IE9 is the first in that family to support canvas. Here's a link to a list of features it supports. Just reading that list reminded me of/revealed many cool features of HTML5 (really JS, for the most part). AJAX history traversal...Geolocation API...Cross Document Messaging..inline SVG...bring it on!
    Yeah I'm excited about the canvas and the geo-location api too, I must admit. Year of the developer!

  11. I haven't examined it as far as a developer would as yet so more as a user. So far I've only looked at the interface and I will admit it has been made cleaner. I'm still green in the web development field as far as finished projects go but I would love to hear from you guys especially if you have generated any HTML5 content.

  12. I prefer VIM for writing code. It's an all-in-one editor/compiler for all languages. You can find information regarding the editor as well as instructions for downloading both the GUI and the plain VIM editor here, VIM Editor.
    I tried vim once and was a bit overwhelmed. I think that's an editor Unix enthusiasts can appreciate better than web developers.
    I'm surprised Netbeans isn't listed in this poll. I've tried probably half a dozen code editors/IDEs, and Netbeans beats 'em all (except Dreamweaver, but the price difference is $399! So in bang-for-the-buck, Netbeans still wins hands-down).
    Combined with firebug for firefox Netbeans made me leave Dreamweaver permanently. I haven't fired it up in nearly a year. And yeah it does take some time to start up even on 4GB of memory but I think that may be because of the files and modules it interprets to provide all the cool features.
  13. Bonjour,I am looking to become a web lord.At the moment I am but a web squire with grand ambitions on a quest of rising through knighthood to lordship!I intend to read HTML, CSS and JQuery code like the operator reads code from the matrix!I will be travelling on my quest through the perilous land of webspace, where all kinds of dangers await me and beyond which lies the holy land of completed website!I call all those who are willing and without fear to join me on this holy crusade!
    Thou art wise to find thine self upon the w3schools forum!
