Javascript Question
by Bwana Lawi 20 Dec '13

20 Dec '13

Hi guys, First off, let me confess that this might be a difficult question to answer since the details I will provide may be sketchy. Scenario: We are running a webapp hosted on jboss. As is the norm, the solution has javascript, java, xslt code, etc in it. And it being a proprietary software, much of the workings are hidden in java code. >From the web-based front end, when running a report, there is an option to "print to file" When clicked, the system will do 2 things: 1. Create a text file in a preset folder 2. Open a new popup window with the message "Report printed successfully: abcd.txt" where abcd.txt is the filename of the created file. The print to file option calls a js script that submits the report data for printing to the browser servlet (I presume). That's as far as I went with the debugging. Once the form was submitted, the next thing I see is the popup window. I am interested in how I can intercept the filename variable (most probably from js). I want to write a program that copies the file to another site/folder.

Peugeot 307 SW 2007 VS Honda Airwave 2007
by Jayden Brayden 19 Dec '13

19 Dec '13

Hi All, I know this is a tech forum but allow me. I am deciding on getting either of the above car models, but would be keen to get input from other car owners as well. I feel the Peugeot looks nice on the eye, but a little expensive to maintain. Not sure of the build quality though. The honda airwave obviously comes cheap with spares easy to find. Anyone care to share their opinions which of the two I should go for and why? My uses are very simple. To and from office/work daily. Maybe a short trip once in every two/three months. Basically a good family car. Thanks. ./Jay
