Exclamation Friends and Fiends


I'm considering posting a link on these forums to my website for help with my code and eventually as part of my signature, but before I do I have a question. If there happen to be some people here who just don't like me or what I stand for, is it likely some will hack my website? Thanks.

Not likely from this site, but posting a link to ANY website on a heavily-trafficked site like this will attract attention. Law of averages will tell you that someone is then likely to take notice and may do something. And just judging from your posting history, this post is again very troll-like behavior, and you appear to be trying to get folks to say "Yeah, we all hate you, and will LOVE to hack your site!!", or go down a similar path.

As for folks to help with your code...if you're not going to PAY people, then you need to write it yourself. Post a specific question if you have it, but don't expect handouts.

Actually, my concern is because people here, if anywhere, will know HOW to do it; and from my university days I know that people who know how, often will.

Actually, I've written the code. It works fine on my server in both Firefox and Windows, but there is one subtlety that I can't seem to figure out; and publicly (on my web host) there's an issue in IE browsers. Besides these two points it works fine.

No.

And no offence, but no-one here cares what you "stand for".

Hmmm, paranoia, interesting You do realise you are inviting negative responses don't you.

If you want work out a single section of your code then post it in programming and ask if people will look at it. I did that the other day, because I am trying to teach myself scripting, and had excellent help from 3 people.

Even if I did know how to hack your website, I wouldn't do it. It will probably surprise you, but some of us atheists do know right from wrong.

They MAY do it, but this site is very, VERY strict about no hacking/cracking/other questions. Such people don't last here long at all, and you apparently aren't aware of the responsibilities that a real, professional systems administrator has. They CAN bring down major corporations, leak sensitive data, etc...but DON'T, because of a sense of professional ethics. That same sense is echoed here.

Then if you've written the code, why do you need ANYONE to help you test it?? Windows machines are abundant...ask a friend, use one at the library, etc., to get your code working with IE. Read one of the MANY thousands of code-porting guides out there, that cover everything from Java, JSP, PHP, and anything else you can care to think of, since IE compatibility is a major issue. You can easily get all the diagnostic information you need without involving ANYONE, get it done quicker, and you and your sense of paranoia can sleep better at night.

I'm not stereotyping atheists or agnostics. If I'm stereotyping programmers, can you blame me? I'm not sure about other parts of the world but I know where I went to university in the US, one of the first things the computer science instructor tried showing me in private was how to get into places at the university that were none of my business, which I in fact shunned. My point is that "hacking" is fairly common among programmers, and people who hack are more likely to target people they don't like.

I don't need help testing it. I've tested it on two IE machines (one here where I work, and one elsewhere). One place in my code my jQuery animation does not behave precisely as it seems it should, and the other issue is specific to IE only when run from my web-host--my links default when clicked, rather than running my jQuery-defined ajax. But my ajax works fine on my own server in both Firefox and IE.

Ahh...so you don't need help writing it or testing it, according to you? So then why bother to open this thread, where in your VERY FIRST POST you say:

Not quite following here...you've written it, and can test it, and reproduce the problems. Seems you've got everything you need, and don't need to involve ANYONE. Add one more point to the "are you a troll" count....

Seems you're determined to pick my words apart, TBone. I said, I need help with my code, not help testing my code on an IE machine.

Nope, not picking your words apart at all. Your first post said you need help with your code, and you reiterate it here. Then, you say you've already GOT your code written, but have a problem with it running on IE (post #4, since you're having trouble keeping track of what you're saying)...THEN you say that you've already GOT it working on IE, (post #10) but it only doesn't work on SOME IE. Conveniently, you omit any details (versions of IE? Differences between the ones that work/don't? Log messages from web server? jQuery messages? ANYTHING?)

One more time, and please pay attention: If you don't need help WRITING code, and don't need help TESTING code, what exactly do you need help WITH???? Why did you bother to open this thread? Again, Google has 1,790,000,000 hits for "web page not working in IE". Go there...pick a link, and see if it helps you. You HAVE the browsers, the web code, everything. Again, ask a specific question, and we might be able to help.

Actually, that's not what I said. If you would not have been so hasty you would have seen that I said, it works on IE, in the case that the files are on my own web server, but when the files are on my host, it fails in IE (whatever the version).

If you're truly interested in helping me, please see my thread in programming.

And why do some here insist on enmity?

From your other thread:

Again, you leave out ANY details. If you're running IE on Linux, you will have problems, period. You don't say what web host, version of IE or give any details of how you tested it. Still. No one will be able to answer anything in your other thread, until you provide useful details. And the problem remains that your site works in Firefox, but not IE. Again, see Google 1.7+ billion hits.

I'm interested in helping anyone that really wants to learn. And based on the vast majority of your posts, you either can't use Google, or you decide to troll people, with threads like this.

I posted this before, and you ignored it, as you do when most folks ask you direct questions:
