@Kim - It's always better to use packet manager for Apache, MySQL and PHP installation. This way all packet dependencies will be resolved automatically. I use RedHat Linux family (Fedora, CentOS, RHEL) and everything is installed with rpm command. In case when RPM packet doesn't exist (and this is very rare case) then I try to build RPM package and install it.

The similar situation is with Ubuntu and apt-get.

Hmm does the php configuration work similar to a LAMP install like this? http://draalin.com/installing-lamp-in-ubuntu/

Or is it better to install it manually?

thanks

@Frank - REDIPS.drag is drag and drop library but REDIPS.table maybe could be helpful. Please see Merge and split table cells with JavaScript. The idea is to have minimal table and with "row" and "column" methods to expand table to 8x8. If you need to contact me, you will find my email address in "About" page.

Thanks Bunic
Is there a function within redips to auto generate a table for you eg an 8x8 to fit an 8x8 image?
For instance I ran into a sutuation where a background table image is not fully shown in a table either an 8x6 or 8x8 using redips. Do you have an email I can email you my work so you can see what I mean. Something similar to this...http://www.quackit.com/html/html_table_generator.cfm

Comment on Clear form with JavaScript by dbunic

@Robert - Your idea about determining who sits behind the computer (human or bot) could work. So, when you display alert (popup) with "Too fast!" message, you can call "clear form" code right after alert. Something like this:

...
// display alert popup
alert('Too fast!');
// after user/bot clicks on "Ok", clear form
clearForms();
...
...

JavaScript engine will wait until user clicks on alert and the code will continue.

Hello! Awesome script.

I would like to use it in some antispam.

The idea is this, I have it quite ready and it works measuring the time frame between the form load and the submit click. If it is too fast, the submit is not accepted.

Since "too fast" means spam-bot, why not boring it clearing all the fields?

In the mean time it could (really hard, tough) happen that some human is really fast writing, for that reason my anti spam javascript code pops an alert warning that typewriting has been too fast.

Well, how to implement this code right after the alert? I ask this because the codes I've collected, are working, but I'm not a javascript expert

Thank you

Robert

@am - I have prepared and sent offline example to show fixed table header. It actually contains two tables (header table and content table). The trick is to scroll header table while user scrolls content table.

And regarding occupying whole TD cell, please see example24 (Table editor) where dropped DIV element is stretched to the cell width (just peek to the rd.event.droppedBefore event handler in example24/script.js).

@delfi - REDIPS.drag can only drag one DIV element at the same time. But you can create custom JS code like in example12 (select and move more elements) to move more elements at once. This demo doesn't have option to preserve initial geometry.

Saving table content to the database is possible. Please see example3 (school timetable) where timetable is saved to the MySQL database via PHP.

Hi, it's great, congratulations!
I'd like to ask if I can get these functions:
- Selection of cell ranges with drag (for large areas)
- Moving the selected area, maintaining the same geometry
- Connect to the database, for location update in db
Thanks in advance

Comment on Drag and drop table rows with JavaScript by dbunic

@George - Unfortunately in current REDIPS.drag version is not possible to drag table columns. Only DIV elements and table rows are enabled for dragging.

@Dan - Here is source from example02/script.js file (complete redips12.tar.gz package can be download from link below post title).

// mark cells for merging (cells should be marked in a sequence)
REDIPS.table.mark(true, 'table1', 1, 1);
REDIPS.table.mark(true, 'table1', 1, 2);
REDIPS.table.mark(true, 'table1', 1, 3);

// merge cells:
// 'h' - horizontally
// true - clear mark after merging
// 'table1' - table id
REDIPS.table.merge('h', true, 'table1');

In this example, cells are marked one by one, but in your case you can create loop that will go through each row and select cells in desired column. After cells are marked, just call merge() method (in "horizontal" mode).
