Invalid Parameter Submit.x in HTTP Post

2008-10-29T14:39:00.000+08:00

I thought I'd done the code wrong though I was really wondering how it could go wrong with just some keys and values for my HTTP post. Usually, you'll just put the following code for your simple HTTP post, right? < form method="post" action="(wherever you want to post this form to)" > Upon posting, if you have images within the form, there will be additional parameters for its x and y positions.

2008-10-27T17:00:00.003+08:00

I am currently programming a cron in PHP using ADODB connection. (See sample connection.) $dbConn =& ADONewConnection(DB_DRIVER); $dbConn->Connect($dbServer, $dbUsername, $dbPassword, $dbName); $dbConn->SetFetchMode(ADODB_FETCH_ASSOC); I thought it worked fine but when I checked on the supposed updates in the database, I found that the stored proc wasn't executed. Upon checking on the net (and I

How to View Content Body of Stored Procedure in MySQL

2008-09-01T16:04:00.002+08:00

Unlike MSSQL's sp_helptext that lets you view the body of an SQL object (i.e. table, stored procedure, function), MySQL has different commands to view each object's contents.The commands "show create procedure" and "show create function" are used to check on the contents of either a stored procedure or function, respectively. Simply append the name of the SP or function after the corresponding

How to Remove Underline in Hyperlink

2008-08-21T09:30:00.005+08:00

Despite being an IT person, I don't delve much into HTML until now because of my new job. So when I was doing a popup window and did buttons via hyperlink (I didn't know then that window.open can still be used via document.write), I was boggled with the underline.To remove the hyperlink put style='text-decoration: none;' like so:< a href="http://iamner.blogspot.com/" style="text-decoration: none;

But with no sound!I searched through DivX' online help

2008-03-06T17:43:00.003+08:00

I encountered this error (Could not access CDO.Message) upon sending email. The article The scary "Could not access 'CDO.Message' object" helped me in solving this problem just by modifying my previous code:SmtpMail.SmtpServer = "IP_address"toSmtpMail.SmtpServer.Insert( 0, "IP_address")where IP_address is the IP address of the SMTP server.My officemate explained to me that this is a known issue

2007-08-14T10:52:00.000+08:00

I was rummaging through the services in my (issued) Toshiba Satellite A50 and disabled some processes and accidentally one of them was the TouchPad utility.This morning when I turned the laptop on, I could only move the cursor by using the mouse, not the touchpad. I tried enabling it like the way I disabled it yesterday, by right-clicking the tray icon, but to no avail.Then I learned of the

Blackle: Black Google

2007-08-02T15:22:00.000+08:00

Here's an interesting bit I got from one of my Y! groups. Just thought to share this also:When your computer screen is white - an empty word page, or the Google page - your computer consumes 74 watts; and when its black, it consumes only 59 watts. Mark Ontkush wrote an article about the energy saving that would be achieved if Google had a black screen, taking in account the huge number of page

A friend sent me a link to a video (watch it!) on Microsoft's new mind-blowing coffee table named Surface. You read it right --- a coffee table. But not just any simple coffee table. A computer housed as a coffee table.HistoryIt all started with a proof of concept named T1, which used an IKEA table to showcase its possible features.

Excel Error: File Not Loaded Completely

2007-06-19T13:54:00.000+08:00

Error encountered: File not loaded completely.Why? Because I exceeded the row limit for Excel when I pasted my data. Therefore I have to cut my data into chunks so I could paste it. Or I could just paste it on a text file since it was not a requirement to use Excel in the first place. However the text file alternative is just for displaying purposes only, not for manipulation of data.Details on

Error encountered: "The Microsoft Jet database engine cannot open the file." It is already opened exclusively by another user, or you need permission to view its data.Why? Because the Excel file I was processing in SSIS was open. This is a common file error not only in SSIS but in the general development arena.

How to Create a Microsoft Universal Data Link (UDL)

2007-06-07T11:50:00.000+08:00

I was having a hard time configuring my OLEDB connection to DB2 using the Microsoft OLEDB Provider for DB2. As I was going through the net, posts regarded the IBM OLEDB Provider for DB2 a much easier alternative than the MS counterpart. Using a UDL file for the connection string was also recommended.I've tried searching for the IBM OLEDB Provider for DB2 but didn't find any match for a download.

Error Descriptions for SSIS Error Outputs

2007-06-06T12:33:00.000+08:00

I don't know why SSIS didn't put error descriptions automatically in the source error outputs. We just have the error code and error column. Thus we still need to place a Script Component to get the error description.On the Script Transformation Editor, add an output column "Error Description" in the Inputs and Outputs tab. Then click the Design Script button from the Script tab and add the ff.
