    dynamically enable/disable form inputs from js in ie6

    Although Microsoft have made the isDisabled attribute of DOM Nodes of type INPUT read-only, there is a way to enable or disable a form input dynamically - at least in ie6. The technique uses textual substitution on the outerHTML attribute of the node in order to lock it. This technique does...

    Package error

    http://search.cpan.org/dist/DBD-Oracle/ would seem to be the best place to start. Yrs, fish.

    dynamically change ie6 window title

    Profuse apologies. I'm using a new emulator and the font doesn't visibly differentiate between colons and semicolons. I've just wasted my time and yours on a typo. sorry ;-(

    dynamically change ie6 window title

    I would like to change the title of an ie6 window from an onClick event. onClick="javascript:document.title='New Title';" does not do the trick. Yours, fish.

    Taint mode in Windows

    Perl will interpret your shebang line whether it is a valid path or not. According to the perlrun man page: Parsing of the #! switches starts wherever ``perl'' is mentioned in the line. The sequences ``-*'' and ``- '' are specifically ignored so that you could, if you were so inclined, say...

    Perl & Processes

    What are you actually trying to do? It looks as if you are reading info about all processes in order to get info about one. It also looks like you're reading all info about your process and my guess is you only want to know one thing, such as "Is it still running?" or a detail such...

    Automatic generation of usernames using first initial last name
