Topic: I hate javascript menus!

[toasty0]

Because that application is written in java and I did not write it.

Myself I use php which runs quite consistently regardless of platform.

Wish I could help you out rewritting the app but I'm just too freaking busy to learn another language right now. Learning C# (which I love btw), and ASP.NET and wrapping my pea sized noodle around managed code and DirecX is keeping me pretty well swamped.

Kvetch, kvetch, kvetch.

Try teaching a semester's worth of FORTRAN in three weeks and expect them to be able to write scientific programs.

I wonder what bald looks like; maybe that's why Dracula avoids mirrors.

Bonk--

Just for the helluva it I thought I take a quick look at your source on the forum page and was startled to see this first thing: <meta name="keywords" content="PHP, MySQL, bulletin, board, free, open, source, smf, simple, machines, forum" />

On a gaming board?

[Bonk]

That's built into SMF, I can't be bothered to modify all the templates just for that. Which updates would likely overwrite anyway.

And I'm not talking about the menus here anymore regarding javascript. I'm talking about the MySQL Migration Toolkit, which runs on Java. If you want to help with it check here:

(I have nothing to do with it)

I bitched about it here:

but only got smart assed replies.

And oh yeah, did I mention?: I hate java! 

[toasty0]

Interesting. I'll look at it more over my weekend.

[E_Look]

I won't look in a mirror for credit; but I'll do it for real money.

Oh, you mean the kids?  Uh, no.  They've got to finish up and do all the CHEMISTRY before they get any credit.  The programming is *supposed* to make it easier.  It's going to kill me to hold my laughter in for months on end.

If your complaining about the menu on this site... its nanerslugs work

Originally that's what I was complaining about on this thread, yes, but now I'm pissing and moaning about the jre and its totally bogus nature. Figured I'd rant about it here as its on the theme. Right now I have java up my craw because the MySQL Migration Toolkit fails to find the jre (1.5.0 or 1.4.2) on the Windows 2003 platform... grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! Double grrrrrrrr! I hate java, it sucks. Did I mention I hate java? Did I mention it sucks? And oh yeah, java sucks. 

And yes Toasty0, c is the best platform independent language. (not c++ or c# though). Apache and php source compiles pretty easily on Windows, QNX, BeOS, FreeBSD, Slackware... java is a major step backwards.

The problem with C is that it requires compling.  How do you deliver an application that to install only requires inserting a CD, clicking on "Next" a few times, clicking "Install" and then "Finish", and is platform independent?

Not by using Java, I know that much.    (which needs compiling too).

C apps will run on anything. Java is very limited and changes way too much way too often. No backward compatibility is just plain unacceptable.

Did you check those last two links using IE6? I keep getting page faults or a complete freeze of IE when linking through to them. Do they have some sort of activeX pw protection going?

[Bonk]

Nope didnt check in IE... using Firefox exclusively nowadays.

Maybe try getting there through: http://forums.mysql.com/

(I posted in the "MySQL Migration Toolkit" and "Microsoft SQL Server" forums.)

[Bonk]

Here's the solution:

The Migration Toolkit must be installed to the default of:

C:\Program Files\MySQL\MySQL Migration Toolkit 1.0

No other location will work. What a pain.

Try some cool DHTML or XHTML...

Much better options, but inevitably tied to javascript in most implementations.
