Time of Day Picture Change
Use this script to change a picture (or banner) depending on the time of the day. Very simple to use!

Dynamic Drop Down List
Use this script when you need to offer multiple choices in your forms. Clicking a link dynamically changes the contents of the accompanying drop down list. Add as many options as you need. Complete details are explained in the script.

GreyBox
This technique allows you to open a modal window, which is like a pop-up window, but doesn't actually open another window/tab. It does not conflict with pop-up blockers. Easy to set-up and use. The style is controlled through CSS. This is great for launching other Web pages or image galleries. Full documentation is included.

JavaScript Metaclass Programming
In this tutorial series, Neil Roberts looks at metaclass programming and how to implement it in JavaScript. Metaclass programming is the programming that builds a class. Since most of the time a metaclass simply takes an already declared class and manipulates it, you can think of a metaclass as a template: a class goes in, and a specifically structured class comes out.

Change Layer Colors
Use these two simple functions to change text and background colors within a specified layer without reloading the page. Can be used separately or together.

How to Create Remote Ajax Requests
One of the most common questions about Ajax is whether it's possible to create remote or cross-domain Ajax requests. The answer is yes and this week you'll learn how to create an Ajax-enabled podcast aggregator with PHP and Ajax.

In the last article, you learned how AJAX can be used to link the contents of a select field to a parent one. Now we're going to use AJAX to create an Autocomplete text field using the Eclipse Web Tools Platform with the Apache Tomcat server. By Rob Gravelle. 0326

Transparency in Ajax Applications - Part 2
Beyond the general danger of revealing application logic to potential attackers, there are specific mistakes that programmers make when writing client-side code that can open their applications to attack. By Billy Hoffman and Bryan Sullivan. 0324

Widget Initialization Using JSON, HTML Custom Tags and XML files

Scot's Newsletter Blog - Final Firewall Decision, Vista SP1 Advice

Scot's Newsletter Blog
---------------------------

http://blog.scotsnewsletter.com/

Operating Systems. Broadband. Issues. Reviews. Info You Can Use.

March/April 2008 - Vol. 8, Issue No. 97

By Scot Finnie

In This Issue
--------------------
1. My Final Review: The Best Firewall Software of 2008!
2. Vista Users: What to Do About Vista Service Pack 1
3. A Note About Blog Site Performance
4. In Search of a new Webhost
5. Scot's Newsletter Forums -- Now Five Years Old

For subscription management, contact info, links, and other resources,
please see the end of the newsletter.

Editor's Note: This newsletter was written by a bleary-eyed editor still on east coast time in a west coast hotel room at 5AM. Please don't blame my wonderful copy editor, Monica Sambataro, for the mistakes it likely contains. She didn't get a crack at it, and I haven't had coffee yet.

1. My Final Review: The Best Firewall Software of 2008!
-------------------------------------------------------------------

About 19 months in the making, I've finally concluded my research into light-weight, single-purpose, HIPS-based software firewalls for Windows, and I've picked the product I think you should be using. Please visit Scot's Newsletter Blog for the details. But I'll give you a hint: OA.

http://blog.scotsnewsletter.com/

http://blog.scotsnewsletter.com/#post-119

For those who like to read everything, since the last newsletter I also did this bit on a now older version of Online Armor that was released in late February:

http://blog.scotsnewsletter.com/#post-128

2. Vista Users: What to Do About Vista Service Pack 1
-------------------------------------------------------------------

Should you install SP1, wait for the dust to settle, or skip it because you've got the security patches already? It's not as easy a question to answer as you might have thought -- given how little new functionality SP1 delivers. Get my recommendations.

http://blog.scotsnewsletter.com/#post-129

3. A Note About Blog Site Performance
-------------------------------------------------------------------

Last time I sent out a newsletter, both the blog site and the Scot's Newsletter Forums were under severe load. The forums site was down for over a day. The blog bounced back, but it reached its simultaneous connection limit the next day on Feb. 18. I thought I might have licked the problems -- which only occur during the 24 hours after the newsletter mails -- but it appears I have not done so.

Because the newsletter is going out Thursday AM (in the U.S.), more than likely the peak demand will be almost immediately. So, if you are unable to read the site right away, please try it again a little bit later. Even during peak demand, I've found that I can get on with a little patience by retrying. The error messages sounds more ominous than they really are.

Please take a moment to let me know what your experience was. I continue to work on this.

4. In Search of a New Webhost
-------------------------------------------------------------------

Scot's Newsletter is, yet again, looking for a new webhost. People who've used shared webhosting for as long as I have -- who have demanding websites I do -- could probably share some horror stories. But the point of this post is to give you detailed information about what I need from a webhost and why. Even if you don't have my needs, anyone switching or considering getting a webhost for the first time will learn about things to look for. Or maybe you can suggest to me a webhost I should consider.

http://blog.scotsnewsletter.com/#post-128

5. Scot's Newsletter Forums -- Now Five Years Old
-------------------------------------------------------------------

Happy Birthday, Scot's Newsletter Forums. Five years old and still going strong. I'd like to say a *big* thank you to all Scot's Newsletter Forums Admins and Moderators who deserve 99% of the credit.

Here's the Birthday thread for those who'd like to say hello or reconnect:

I have a mouse (rat_mc) and an elephant (dumbo_mc). The rat_mc is a draggable object and the elephant is sitting on the stage.
