**** BEGIN LOGGING AT Sun Dec 20 02:59:56 2009 Dec 20 03:09:20 back from bball Dec 20 03:09:41 Now, to get this SQLite/date crap working... Dec 20 03:10:36 prototypic, you can get the pre fonts off the device Dec 20 03:10:40 thats how i got em Dec 20 03:10:48 or from the emulator Dec 20 03:22:42 that wptouch works pretty good Dec 20 03:26:47 Ok, works. Dec 20 03:32:04 ok here's a lame question but how do I do the alert that shows at the bottom of the screen with 2 buttons, one green Dec 20 03:32:14 it's not a standard alert I assume Dec 20 03:34:12 https://developer.palm.com/palm-sdk/jsdoc/symbols/Mojo.Controller.html#.showAlertDialog Dec 20 03:34:24 * PrototypicLaptop bows Dec 20 03:35:08 there's an example in UIWidgets Dec 20 03:35:26 I wish those samples were in ares Dec 20 03:35:30 that would be killer Dec 20 03:35:49 ones is an affirmative button Dec 20 03:41:27 ok here's another one, how do I call a (wrong name im sure) sibling function? Dec 20 03:41:53 Ok, doesn't works. Dec 20 03:42:15 action1: function(){ dosomething}, action2:function(){action1},.... Dec 20 03:42:30 I want action2 function to be able to call action 1 Dec 20 03:42:49 this.action1 ? Dec 20 03:42:52 is it this.action1() or this.controller.action1() Dec 20 03:43:00 or something else entirely Dec 20 03:43:31 Bmyers: My update says it's working, but it's not working. Dec 20 03:44:27 ok like i said lame question thanks guys. Dec 20 03:45:52 Anyone need any snow? Dec 20 03:46:06 I've got 20 inches of the stuff I don't need. Dec 20 03:47:00 hey haeffb Dec 20 03:47:30 roy: just starting in for us in NY Dec 20 03:47:31 yes? Dec 20 03:47:52 u get your update working? Dec 20 03:48:17 not yet Dec 20 03:48:38 It hits the success handler, but the DB doesn't change. Dec 20 03:49:20 while doing an sql UPDATE? Dec 20 03:49:59 yep. Dec 20 03:51:10 here's the deactivate() function from my data entry scene: http://www.pastie.org/750423 Dec 20 03:52:27 the insert works? Dec 20 03:52:40 yes, insert works fine. Dec 20 03:54:19 paste up the sql schema, might help Dec 20 03:55:06 var sql = "CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS 'mileageEvents' (id INTEGER PRIMARY KEY, date INTEGER, dateformat TEXT, begMiles TEXT, endMiles TEXT, mileage TEXT, purpose TEXT, destination TEXT, notes TEXT)"; Dec 20 03:55:41 where do you set this.id? Dec 20 03:56:17 it is a param passed to the data entry scene from the list scene. this.id is correct. Dec 20 03:56:26 date=?, dateformat=?, begMiles=?, endMiles=?, mileage=?, purpose=?, destination=?, notes=? WHERE id=?"; Dec 20 03:56:30 oops.. Dec 20 03:58:40 r u logged into sqlite? Dec 20 03:58:59 nope. don't know how. Dec 20 03:59:32 here's log output: http://www.pastie.org/750425 Dec 20 04:00:16 it's going back into the CREATE TABLE function before the UPDATE returns the success handler. Could that be a problem? Dec 20 04:01:14 ok, beer thirty. time to start drunk coding again! Dec 20 04:01:42 yeah welcome to the wonderful world of asyn calls Dec 20 04:02:41 what table is it creating? Dec 20 04:03:17 see above. CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS 'mileageEvents'... Dec 20 04:04:06 you need to create the table long before you try to use it Dec 20 04:04:18 that happens in activate() of my list scene. It's success handler then calls the var sql = "SELECT * FROM mileageEvents"; Dec 20 04:04:28 it was created long before. Dec 20 04:04:38 AppAssistant opens database Dec 20 04:04:54 you create the table in your activate method? Dec 20 04:05:17 StageAssistant pushes list scene, where activate creates the table (if not exist) then loads data from table (if exist) var sql = "SELECT * FROM mileageEvents"; Dec 20 04:05:30 the list populates with data. Dec 20 04:06:07 listTap event (or listAdd event) pushes data entry screen, with exist record data (or new record). Dec 20 04:06:43 deactivate() on data entry scene calls UPDATE or INSERT, depending on whether ID is null (thanks to advice I received earlier) Dec 20 04:07:54 how about creating the table in the stage-assistant? Dec 20 04:08:34 or tables, if u have more than 1 Dec 20 04:08:59 that's certainly possible. but should it matter if the SQL call is CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXIST? Dec 20 04:09:17 but even still, i dont see how you could get from activate to deactivate so fast that it doesnt have time to create the table.. Dec 20 04:09:38 no, if its there it does nothing Dec 20 04:10:57 I think the problem is with the UPDATE, but I can't find it. Dec 20 04:11:51 it inserts ok? Dec 20 04:12:25 inserts fine. check email. you can test it. Dec 20 04:13:20 sent Dec 20 04:13:53 got one for viagra, you mean that 1? Dec 20 04:14:22 o wait, here it is.. Dec 20 04:14:45 u use komodo or eclipse? Dec 20 04:15:53 eclipse Dec 20 04:16:16 never could get komodo to work for me. but didn't spend a lot of time trying. Dec 20 04:20:17 gimme a sec.. Dec 20 04:22:05 u on a windows box? Dec 20 04:22:09 yep Dec 20 04:22:22 all the ^M's.. Dec 20 04:23:02 ^M's... ? Dec 20 04:24:33 in the app assistant. you must have edited it with something other than eclipse Dec 20 04:24:49 no, just eclipse Dec 20 04:24:53 weird.. Dec 20 04:34:02 well, try this.. Dec 20 04:36:39 which? Dec 20 04:41:37 hold a sec.. i'll try it here Dec 20 04:45:20 i cant see whats up with it either.. Dec 20 04:45:50 think I'll give up for the evening. Dec 20 04:45:54 with the sql update, try writing out the query rather than param method Dec 20 04:46:15 take out the ?'s and put the var together yourself Dec 20 04:46:26 log the var sql Dec 20 04:46:42 tried that - still no go. Dec 20 04:46:52 take the query your spit out and try pasting it into sqlite3 in your db Dec 20 04:47:04 u telnet'd into the emu? Dec 20 04:48:28 not today Dec 20 04:48:47 I can try that later, tho. Dec 20 04:49:06 you see if you get an error somehow Dec 20 04:49:14 its not updating the data tho for sure Dec 20 04:49:30 do you know where ur db is? Dec 20 04:49:54 I can probably find it. Dec 20 04:50:23 get into the emu and type: Dec 20 04:50:41 cd /media/internal/.app-storage/file_.var.usr.palm.applications.com.tigers.app.milez_0/ Dec 20 04:50:58 in that dir there might be more than 1 file Dec 20 04:51:08 it's the highest named one in there Dec 20 04:51:20 sqlite3 (filename) Dec 20 04:51:43 then just paste in your sql string you spit out in the log into that Dec 20 04:51:52 and see if the query works Dec 20 04:53:03 results.RowAffected in your success handler should say 1 row Dec 20 04:53:18 but results is undefined Dec 20 04:53:31 which is telling me it didnt really work out so well.. Dec 20 04:54:47 i am using vi in the emu to look at your script so it's a little limiting Dec 20 04:56:30 don't get anything from pasting the query string into sqlite3 Dec 20 04:56:45 post it here Dec 20 04:57:01 UPDATE 'mileageEvents' SET date=1261279611198,dateformat=Dec 19, 2009, beginMiles=455, endMiles=555, mileage=100, purpose=Looking, destination=Bolivar, MO, notes=This is a long note with more stuff. On another line. WHERE id=3 Dec 20 04:57:14 dateformat Dec 20 04:57:29 u need to quote the text stuff Dec 20 04:57:30 commas? Dec 20 04:57:44 OK. Dec 20 04:57:54 its the 19th already? holy crap.. Dec 20 04:59:42 does the appmenu have to be instantiated in stageassistant? Dec 20 05:00:00 I just cant seem to get it to work Dec 20 05:00:53 still no go: Dec 20 05:00:55 UPDATE 'mileageEvents' SET date=1261279611198, dateformat='Dec 19, 2009', beginMiles=455, endMiles=555, mileage=100, purpose='Looking', destination='Bolivar, MO', notes='This is a long note with more stuff. On another line. ' WHERE id=3 Dec 20 05:02:27 found it! Dec 20 05:02:55 SQL error: no such column: beginMiles Dec 20 05:03:07 yep, still didn't work. Dec 20 05:03:29 its begMiles Dec 20 05:04:23 OK, works in sqlite3, but still not in app. Dec 20 05:04:32 did you change the app? Dec 20 05:04:44 works in app, IF I close and reopen. Dec 20 05:05:27 you need to re-run the sql once you get back to the list screen Dec 20 05:05:38 repopulate the list, etc Dec 20 05:05:49 argh. Doesn't work in app. App reads updated database that I did manuall. Dec 20 05:05:53 manually. Dec 20 05:06:56 you change beginMiles tho right? Dec 20 05:07:25 Yes. Dec 20 05:08:25 u must have changed something, mine had begMiles Dec 20 05:10:11 UPDATE 'mileageEvents' SET date=1261279528999, dateformat='Dec 19, 2009', begMiles=200, endMiles=333, mileage=133, purpose='Bac kagain', destination='Columbia', notes='' WHERE id=2 Dec 20 05:10:29 works thru direct sqlite in emu, but not in app. Dec 20 05:19:00 there must be something we cant see wrong in the update if statement Dec 20 05:20:00 * FoxFireX notes that in the old schema posted, begMiles, endMiles, and mileage are all defined as TEXT. Dec 20 05:20:06 Maybe they need to be quoted as well? Dec 20 05:20:26 works in sqlite directly, tho Dec 20 05:20:35 Hmm. Dec 20 05:20:44 * haeffb working on another possibility... Dec 20 05:20:57 * FoxFireX was upstairs installing blinds. Which brings up the always funny "Blind Guy" joke, but that's for another time. Dec 20 05:21:47 nope, the other possibility didn't do it either. Dec 20 05:22:32 So I don't suppose it's giving you any useful error messages. Too much to hope for I imagine. Dec 20 05:22:44 not a darn thing.. Dec 20 05:22:59 i put a try/catch around it just to be sure Dec 20 05:23:15 the sql statement he creates works in sqlite3 Dec 20 05:23:15 Is it calling either your success or failure handler? Dec 20 05:23:45 it used to. I think I've screwed around enough that even that's not working anymore. Dec 20 05:24:18 DELETE FROM mileageEvents WHERE id=2 Dec 20 05:25:09 its calls suscceshandler in my vers Dec 20 05:26:19 Can you post the current state of the table def and how the call is being made in code? Not sure what (if anything) has changed since the posts a while back. Dec 20 05:26:32 OK, this not working either: http://www.pastie.org/750462 Dec 20 05:27:32 You may need a semicolon at the end of the SQL string. I have them at the end of mine, but I'm not sure if it's required in this context or not. Certainly doesn't hurt. Dec 20 05:27:51 i dont think it is Dec 20 05:28:11 Just trying to identify differences between what I'm doing (which works) and this. :) Dec 20 05:28:33 i looked there. i know what u mean.. Dec 20 05:29:16 DELETE FROM mileageEvents WHERE id=2 Dec 20 05:29:33 ALSO works when I enter it directly in sqlite, but not in the pastied code. Dec 20 05:30:29 a username and a password preference should that be stored in sqlite or cookie? Dec 20 05:30:43 Grah, I hate being at the stage where the basic stuff screws me up. Using Ares, how do you set a basic variable sub in an html block (Say '

#{foo}

'), and then alter that substution text on app startup? I'm assuming that it's possible to do this from MainAssistant's startup function, but I can't figure out how. Dec 20 05:31:28 The only other thing I'm doing different (that I can see at this level) is that I'm quoting the column name as well. Doesn't look like ID is a keyword, but... *shrug* Dec 20 05:31:39 heh mercury I'm right there with ya on these basic questions Dec 20 05:31:47 OK, the delete now works. Dec 20 05:32:29 haeffb, in the if else just create the sql string Dec 20 05:32:39 then do the same transactions code Dec 20 05:32:47 PrototypicLaptop: SQLite seems a bit saferish, but neither is particularly secure. Hopefully you're able to store a hash instead of the actual password. :) Counterpoint to that is that if your SQLite database is on the media partition, it's more exposed than the cookie would be. Dec 20 05:32:55 delete the update transction code and use the one in the insert Dec 20 05:33:17 well iv got to pass the user/pass over http (at least its https) Dec 20 05:33:42 most of the apps I will built will use rest interfaces that require some sort of naked auth Dec 20 05:34:14 Mercury: I'd suggest including your HTML as something like "

" and then doing this.controller.get("myPara").innerHTML = "Ready!" in your setup. Dec 20 05:34:32 FoxFireX: Ahh, that would do the trick. Dec 20 05:34:51 PrototypicLaptop: Eh, if that's what you've got, it's what you've got. I don't think the cookies are ever exposed via the media partition, so it may be slightly safer. Dec 20 05:36:02 AND NOW IT WORKS! Dec 20 05:36:19 So what was the trick? Dec 20 05:36:19 * haeffb does a happy dance! Dec 20 05:36:35 deleted the code and copied in something that worked. Dec 20 05:36:47 there was something in there we couldnt see Dec 20 05:37:02 missing squiggles or comma Dec 20 05:37:07 Not sure what was wrong originally, but something in the db.transaction call. Dec 20 05:37:19 Now if only the ares fire upload worked consistantly. Dec 20 05:37:29 squiggles, parens, semicolons, something Dec 20 05:37:35 you dont have to have two copies of that anyway.. Dec 20 05:37:53 You shouldn't be uploading fire to Ares, it might hurt the server! :O Dec 20 05:37:54 well, I still do. but now both work. Dec 20 05:38:22 when I was using the ???'s, I had two calls because I used diff arg arrays Dec 20 05:38:34 o Dec 20 05:38:38 though, now that I understand what's going on, could have just used a var in there. Dec 20 05:38:44 * FoxFireX uses the ???'s and likes 'em. Dec 20 05:38:57 yeah.. but with the param stuff you cant paste the sql into sqlite to see if you got it right Dec 20 05:39:27 can u FoxFire? Dec 20 05:39:41 Not as directly, no. Dec 20 05:39:56 and if you fudge a column you're screwed.. Dec 20 05:40:25 hey, i didn't fudge a column and I was still screwed. Dec 20 05:40:27 I do like not having to worry about quoting or not quoting things, though. Helps keep the types nice and tidy. Dec 20 05:40:41 you had beginmiles for begmiles at some point.. Dec 20 05:40:56 when I went to a straight string without using the ???'s Dec 20 05:40:58 for debugging purposes, it helps Dec 20 05:41:11 you should prolly use ?? Dec 20 05:41:23 sent you an updated version if you want to test. should add, edit, delete now. Dec 20 05:41:25 cause it escapes stuff out of the dat aright FF? Dec 20 05:41:33 So, basic functionality is there. Dec 20 05:41:37 s/dat/data Dec 20 05:41:57 Yeah, it takes care of any escaping, formatting, whatever. You just tell it "Put this in there" and it does it. Dec 20 05:43:35 well glad u got it working haeffb Dec 20 05:43:47 AWESOME! Thanks for keeping me going, Bmyers. Dec 20 05:43:47 if var name = cookie.get("name"); cannot find the cookie in question is name undefined or null Dec 20 05:43:58 I cannot run the debugger so I'm running a bit blind Dec 20 05:44:50 I'd imagine null; if a function successfully returns, it would very rarely return undefined. I'd only expect that if the function didn't return anything at all. Dec 20 05:53:46 * haeffb thinks it was a binding issue. Dec 20 06:10:21 So, i'm working on developing my first webos app using ares. so far, so good. i do have a couple questions, however: Dec 20 06:10:30 1) what file do i edit to change the app menu? Dec 20 06:11:02 2) what's the easiest way to impliment saving and recalling data, such as i would normally do in a database? Dec 20 06:39:43 the guy that works on ares are you here? Dec 20 06:40:13 yes Dec 20 06:40:21 I'd like to define my own custom run app command from ares. so I can launch my one click device install script Dec 20 06:40:41 erm. i'm the one with the question about ares, anyway. Dec 20 06:40:49 er launch command Dec 20 06:40:53 oh Dec 20 06:41:36 hi all! Dec 20 06:41:55 jenp Dec 20 06:42:06 hey haeffb how's it going? Dec 20 06:42:44 good. spent the day writing code. Bmyers helped me to get sqlite working Dec 20 06:43:05 oh awesome! you'll have to show me how Dec 20 06:43:47 well, i now have a working example. Dec 20 06:44:48 which is great Dec 20 06:45:45 ya, great. and AWESOME! Dec 20 06:45:54 lol Dec 20 06:47:34 what you up to this evening? Dec 20 06:48:18 trying to motivate myself to program Dec 20 06:48:23 you? Dec 20 06:49:10 getting ready to hit the sack Dec 20 06:49:17 cool Dec 20 06:49:21 i don't suppose someone could point the way to setting up an app menu? Dec 20 06:49:25 i'll talk to you tomorrow Dec 20 06:49:37 HaDAk: in ARES? Dec 20 06:49:41 yes Dec 20 06:49:42 HaDAk...web101 has something nice Dec 20 06:49:51 where do i find that? Dec 20 06:50:05 web101.com Dec 20 06:50:53 can't seem to pull up the site. Dec 20 06:50:59 webos101.com Dec 20 06:51:08 but not app menu in Ares Dec 20 06:51:08 http://www.webos101.com Dec 20 06:51:13 ah Dec 20 06:51:22 just the regular way Dec 20 06:51:54 excellent. looks to be just what i need. i'll give it a shot. Dec 20 06:52:02 they've got something on here about storing and recalling data, as well? Dec 20 06:52:26 HaDAk: http://www.webos-internals.org/wiki/Mojo_Storage_Database Dec 20 06:52:43 sugardave: much obliged Dec 20 06:52:49 sure Dec 20 06:53:12 i'm going to see if i can put these to good use. will peek back in with any other questions :) Dec 20 06:53:17 thanks guys. Dec 20 07:07:59 i can't seem to get this menu working :\ Dec 20 15:31:20 hey haeffe. hows it going Dec 20 15:32:21 Need to go to town to get a coffee. Dec 20 15:34:50 adding Category to the Milez app. Trying to decide if it should be a listSelector right above Purpose, or have a drop-down menu in the header. Dec 20 15:42:38 i'd go listselector Dec 20 15:42:57 that way you can add a checkmark to the current category Dec 20 15:43:33 WAG anyways.. Dec 20 15:46:41 good morning everyone Dec 20 15:49:33 hey lonestar Dec 20 15:49:53 happy sunday! Dec 20 15:52:46 yeah! Sunday! Dec 20 15:53:11 anyone know if I need to provide my own fade images for the scroller widgets? Dec 20 15:54:01 how 'bout them cowboys.. Dec 20 15:54:58 LoneStar: fade images? Dec 20 15:55:30 yeah, what time is the cowboy game? Go chargers! Dec 20 15:57:32 cowboys beat saints last night Dec 20 15:57:40 sat nite game Dec 20 15:58:51 hey guys: i need to test if this is an array: series[x][] <-- that second element. how to do? Dec 20 15:58:52 oh wow, great! Dec 20 16:00:34 i use something like "tt[i].comicTitle" Dec 20 16:01:16 Bmyers: the cowboys beat the "undefeated" saints? Dec 20 16:01:29 u r not sleeping... yes they did.. Dec 20 16:01:36 24 17 Dec 20 16:01:51 holy f-ck... wow Dec 20 16:02:04 yup.. hard to beleive eh? Dec 20 16:03:02 yeah - and the chargers beat the cowboys - last week, so it's looking good for the chargers! Dec 20 16:03:32 awesome for the "cowboys!" Dec 20 16:06:25 Bmyers: no clue Dec 20 16:08:23 google says: http://www.devx.com/tips/Tip/12455 Dec 20 16:08:50 * haeffb is thinking about pushing Milez out to PreCentral to get some feedback. Dec 20 16:20:30 Bmyers: can you explain what you're trying to test? Dec 20 16:20:52 if you still need halp that is Dec 20 16:20:53 heya Dec 20 16:23:29 n80, i'm not even sure. i am trying to debug a lib Dec 20 16:23:57 works with static data, doesnt work with real data Dec 20 16:24:00 both r the same.. Dec 20 16:33:13 both *seem to be* the same Dec 20 16:38:53 can you use a debugger? Dec 20 16:41:14 hi! I'm testing develop in Eclipse, but I can't see somethign as Ares to draw the windows, isn't it? Dec 20 16:41:30 only ares does that Dec 20 16:43:53 and is it difficult to create the view withou the help of Ares? (I'm only testing, no reason to do this) Dec 20 16:48:19 w/o ares, you have to create the view manually using html coding Dec 20 16:49:50 alex_: nah, html layout is probably still pretty easy Dec 20 17:07:15 aw geez...got my first "support" question: "Why doesn't the Yule Log fill my entire screen?" Well, because it would look freaking STUPID if I expanded the vertical Dec 20 17:09:24 tell him to put electrical tape over the part that Yule Log doesn't use. Dec 20 17:10:17 I did tell them I was sorry that they were so unhappy with it and I hoped future updates made it worth the entire $1.43 they paid... Dec 20 17:11:38 how do updates work? are we supposed to supply update code in our app, or will the app cat notify the users, are the users expected to check for updates in the app cat? Dec 20 17:12:13 your app costs $1.43? isn't that a pretty random amount? Dec 20 17:12:23 PrototypicLaptop: if you push an update and it's accepted, they will see the update in the catalog Dec 20 17:12:33 n8o: $1.43 * .70 = $1.00 Dec 20 17:12:39 pretty much Dec 20 17:12:43 slightly more Dec 20 17:12:44 ah, hehe Dec 20 17:13:08 so that app cost you $50 to put up? Dec 20 17:13:21 do free apps cost $50 as well? Dec 20 17:13:22 wait, they are charging for apps now :( Dec 20 17:13:27 PrototypicLaptop: but they have to be looking for it in the catalog OR via the 'Updates' app Dec 20 17:13:32 shit i missed early developer access? Dec 20 17:13:39 n8o: it was free for me Dec 20 17:13:49 so the $50/app thing is coming in the future? Dec 20 17:13:56 but even if it wasn't, I would have hit the break-even mark already Dec 20 17:14:01 cool :D Dec 20 17:14:18 I guess I should get off my ass and get BOFH Excuse Generator ad-free submitted Dec 20 17:14:24 before they want to charge me Dec 20 17:14:39 that's what I'm saying Dec 20 17:15:00 I'm submitting my "BrowserMarks" today, a delicious bookmark manager Dec 20 17:15:10 cool Dec 20 17:15:11 I managed to turn webview into a new webbrowser Dec 20 17:15:15 any idea when they'll start charging?

Dec 20 17:53:04 hi keith Dec 20 17:53:08 hi kesne Dec 20 17:53:47 anyone have some js code for parsing a url from text? Dec 20 17:54:20 isn't there a url parser built into prototype? Dec 20 17:54:39 not sure... rick_home let me check Dec 20 17:58:10 i may have used the wrong word, need to extract a url from text example: "I love to dance in the rain. Here is my pic http://uoid.me/rain1, dancing in the rain" Dec 20 17:58:36 and no I do not like to dance in the rain Dec 20 17:58:52 * sugardave is confused by the Prototype "class definition" tip. "Isn't the point of js to eschew 'classical OOP' for the prototype method?" Dec 20 17:59:20 yes, but there are so many java programmers that library builders have to cater to them some. Dec 20 17:59:43 so, don't worry about Class.create(), then? Dec 20 18:05:39 I wouldn't. Dec 20 18:05:56 LoneStar34 preg_match_all("/]*href=(\'|\")([^\'\"]*)[^>]*>/i", $file_contents, $link_array, PREG_OFFSET_CAPTURE); Dec 20 18:06:41 rick_home: speak English, please.

Dec 20 18:07:43 rick_home: ok thanks, will give it howler Dec 20 18:08:13 LoneStar34: not sure if that's going to work for your example...that regex is for combing through HTML source...I think Dec 20 18:08:53 LoneStar34 http://regexlib.com/Search.aspx?k=url Dec 20 18:08:59 sugardave: if I have regex code that works in php will it be the same in javascript? Dec 20 18:09:04 that site is my secret weapon when I need a regex. Dec 20 18:09:11 LoneStar34 not ALWAYS but often. Dec 20 18:09:13 LoneStar34: pretty much, might need a little tweaking Dec 20 18:09:26 Wow I'm impressed Dec 20 18:09:36 It was so easy to get a project running in this Dec 20 18:09:37 Kudos Dec 20 18:10:00 apetrescu saddly, none of the people who did that are here just now Dec 20 18:10:09 but you might put a thanks in the forums at developer.palm.com Dec 20 18:11:25 thanks: sugardave and rick_home will give all a try Dec 20 18:19:03 hi again Dec 20 18:21:55 rick_home: added regexlib.com to my opera speed-dial Dec 20 18:23:27 * haeffb must have had too much to drink last night.
