Awesome thanks for this, and ty for taking the time to look. I spaced it out a lot and also made it a little friendlier colour-wise. I also fixed most of units on padding/margins to be multiples of 8, except for the divs in the project boxes on the front page. Giving them 8px or more space feels a bit excessive to me? Also i think i got caching headers working. I had no idea what that was. Now i've got them i can stop annihilating my phones limited bandwidth. Do you mind having a look again and telling me what you think? https://murmuring-tor-67701.herokuapp.com/index

edit: still have to move projects onto front page

First thing I noticed on my phone was the header nav buttons not being vertically centered relative to your name, and also the active area of the nav buttons having a lot of extra white space on the right side. Gives the impression that your buttons are not equally justified which looks messy.

Is this a thing usually solved with media queries? I'm trying to figure out how to make it adapt to a phone screen based on the width. Whereas oddly enough changing my browser width on my computer applies the media query changes.

e. think i needed max-device-width instead of just max-width

I found a bizarre bug on one of my forms. There's a checkbox that, when clicked, shows a popup with Y/N prompt (regardless of whether it's checked or not).

So:
* Click checkbox
* It gets checked
* Shows Popup
* Click Yes or No
* Some function runs and, based on the checked state, disables one of two groups of controls.

It was discovered that if you save the record first, the Checkbox is still clickable, but its Checked state isn't being updated? So what's happening instead is

* Click checkbox
* Checked state stays whatever it was when you saved the form
* Shows Popup
* Click Yes or No
* Some function runs (and incorrectly evaluates the checked state)

I didn't change the definition of this checkbox in the CSHTML, I searched the entire JS codebase for the control name and simply the word 'checked' and it's not being manipulated directly.

I have absolutely no clue what the hell is causing this. The control isn't disabled/readonly (can checkboxes even be readonly?), only CSS classes are the Telerik/Kendo ones. Nothing was changed in the Controller. Any ideas what I can look at?

Been working on this issue from last week all day and I have zero leads. I even removed the OnClick event from the Checkbox entirely and it still happens :psyduck:

Popups halt execution, perhaps it is halting execution before the checkbox changes and you evaluate it like a microsecond before it actually changes... or something like that. If you're using something like Redux then you're on your own until you agree to tear all that stuff out and write Javascript like a sane person.

It might also be that you are reading the "value" of the checkbox as opposed to its checked state...

I don�t think he�s using React. From the code he posted it looks like he�s using Razor C# ASP.NET with the Kendo UI plugin.

Since Razor is server-side HTML templating, whatever is going wrong is happening in the JavaScript. I wouldn�t be surprised if it�s the library itself?

You should be able to trivially test it in the browser. Open the console and select the HTML element and check the checked status. Do some testing to figure out what is and is not leading to a proper result. That should help get you in the right direction.

If you're using something like Redux then you're on your own until you agree to tear all that stuff out and write Javascript like a sane person.

ASP.NET/MVC, jQuery and Telerik Kendo UI are all we use.

But again now I'm defining the checkbox simply like so:

code:

@(Html.Kendo().CheckBoxFor(e => e.MiniFIM).Label(String.Compare(Model.IRFPAIQIVersion, "V3.0") >= 0 ? "PAC-CFI" : "Mini FIM").HtmlAttributes(new { id = "chkMiniFIM", @tabIndex = "1" }))

No JS functions at all and the control isn't becoming checked when I save the form first. Also the OnClick event doesn't occur until after the value has been updated, according to this StackOverflow answer

code:

if ( $('#' + chbName).is(':checked') == true)

Definitely getting the checked property rather than .val()

Yeah the way you�re defining the checkbox means fuckall as its only run once to template the HTML. It doesn�t do anything to define the functionality of the HTML - that�s all client side JS. So if you�re looking at your definition in Razor you�re almost assuredly wasting your time.

What I'm saying is it doesn't even have an event handler wired to it, though. So there isn't anywhere else for an event to be getting attached to the Checkbox in question. Literally no javascript (at least nothing my company has written) is being executed when you click the checkbox right now.

Additionally when you Save the form, we do re-load the UI:

code:

        public ActionResult SaveFIMInstrument(PreFIM objPreFIMInstrument)
        {
            try
            {
                SaveFIMInformationData(objPreFIMInstrument);
                CalculateStatus(objPreFIMInstrument);

                LoadData(objPreFIMInstrument);

            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                ElmahLogUtility.ErrorException(ex);
            }

            return View(base.GetViewPath("PreFIM"), objPreFIMInstrument);
        }

So this should re-render the page.

Using the Element Inspector in Firefox, the 'checked' property doesn't seem to be getting updated;

Yeah I can�t say for sure. That checkbox doesn�t look standard though. Did the Razor code scaffold a hidden checkbox nested inside the label or adjacent to it (not the one you showed in console tools).

When you refresh it and get the new html from your action result are you sure you�re replacing the existing code properly?

Don�t be so quick to assume there�s no event handler. Are you using the Kendo UI JavaScript library? Very possible it auto attached event handlers to inputs you created using its scaffolding. Maybe they only run on initial load / doc ready which would explain the failure to update on reloading the content? I know nothing about Kendo UI but unless you wrote the code yourself you can�t assume it isn�t doing something janky behind the scenes.

AHHHHHHH This tripped the switch. When we call save, it's done like so:

code:

$("form:visible[id='frmPreFIMInstrument']").attr('action', ResolveUrl('PREFIMPROi/SaveFIMInstrument')).attr({ "data-ajax-mode": "replace", "data-ajax-update": "#PRE-PatientInfo-6", "data-ajax-success": "PreFIMInstrumentSuccess();" }).submit();

I'm not sure how exactly the data-ajax-update "mechanism" works, but the number is based off the navigation menu index for the page they're currently on. For this module, we added a new tab 'before' the tab I'm working on currently. So I literally just needed up change PRE-PatientInfo-5 to PRE-PatientInfo-6. gently caress it was so simple but we so rarely ever add new tabs to our software.

For reference my dad as an online store that he uses for his business and the guy he pays right now is kinda a mess and really not helpful at all.

The other issue is for some reason my dad is paying for his dude to host the site which is kinda another huge PITA.

I'm working on a "demo" app. It's a silly little thing - you have some beans of different colors, and this app is a broker that allows users to make offers to trade for beans . I'm using ASP.NET core MVC for the back end; bootstrap and jQuery for the client side. I am going to use SignalR for real-time updates (when trades are accepted, rejected, cancelled, whatever). I'm currently using in-memory repositories, but will add an MS SQL database later, accessed with EF Core.

Things are looking good, and I'm starting to test the SignalR stuff when I ran across a problem I'm not sure how to solve.

I was storing the user id in a cookie, but cookies are specific to the browser, not the browser session, so of course when I logged in my second user ("log in" is a stretch, there's no authentication - if you say you're Bob then presto, you're Bob) the cookie was overwritten and now both sessions are the same user. Thought about using session, but doesn't that rely on a cookie too? Won't I have the same issue? I can use different browsers, I suppose, but I'd prefer not to unless there's no other option.

So is there a good way to track multiple users coming from the same computer using the same browser? Can't use IP address. Can't use source port since that changes with each TCP session.

You could use localStorage to store a user object. When the browser is refreshed and you enter your name it can check for an object with that name and fetch it, or create a new one if its never been used.

Users sign up/login with a request sent to firebase directly from the client- firebase sends back a token that you send to your backend and verify with firebase that its legit. Firebase sends back a decoded token that you can use to do authorization with or create your own session.

Having a problem with bootstrap (3.3.7) and a navbar toggle button. When I change the browser window size to the point where the toggle button should show up, it's there but it's invisible. When I move the cursor over the place where the button is, the cursor changes to an index-finger, and the button actually works - it toggles the links from the navbar, but it's invisible. Here is the relevant code:

                <span class="icon-bar"></span>
                <span class="icon-bar"></span>
            </button>
            <a class="navbar-brand" asp-controller="Home" asp-action="Index">
                Bean Broker <small>Buy and Sell your Beans</small>
            </a>
        </div>
        <div class="collapse navbar-collapse navbar-right" id="myNavBarContent">
            <ul class="nav navbar-nav">
                @if (Context.User.IsInRole("Admins"))
                {
			(links omitted)
                }

Adding the class collapse makes the button go away completely, without that class the button is there but not visible.

CSS code:

.collapse {

It's weird that the example code even for the 3.3 version uses collapsed when that's not the selector used in the actual css file. Also, I've checked and the "Collapse" stuff is in the version of bootstrap.js that I'm loading.

Also, if anyone (like me) is looking to deploy ASP.NET to linux but can�t use Docker (because I need VMWare on my development machine), I found instructions here. They�re not quite perfect (for example, it tells you to do a dotnet publish but then has later steps which potentially change the source code so you need to publish again), but it works. There is a similar article using Nginx rather than Apache as well.

So now my silly little Bean Broker app is running on my internal linux server (although checking the error logs, there may be a problem with SignalR) and ready to move to a $10 Digital Ocean droplet.

Speaking of which, can anyone recommend an open source (�free�) tool to automate deployment? I�ve been using FTP, but that�s a huge pain with subdirectories.

edit: the SignalR errors are definitely related to the reverse proxy.

	}
}
window.addEventListener("keydown", linkCodeInserterKeyChecker, true);

But pressing the ctrl+alt+A hotkey doesn't seem to do anything.

e: actually this is pretty old and it turns out there was a major update to greasemonkey at some point which broke loads of older scripts.

Having a problem with bootstrap (3.3.7) and a navbar toggle button. When I change the browser window size to the point where the toggle button should show up, it's there but it's invisible. When I move the cursor over the place where the button is, the cursor changes to an index-finger, and the button actually works - it toggles the links from the navbar, but it's invisible. Here is the relevant code:
code:
<nav id="myNavBar" class="navbar" role="navigation">
    <div class="container-fluid">
        <div class="navbar-header">
            <button type="button" class="navbar-toggle" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#myNavBarContent">
                <span class="icon-bar"></span>
                <span class="icon-bar"></span>
                <span class="icon-bar"></span>
            </button>
            <a class="navbar-brand" asp-controller="Home" asp-action="Index">
                Bean Broker <small>Buy and Sell your Beans</small>
            </a>
        </div>
        <div class="collapse navbar-collapse navbar-right" id="myNavBarContent">
            <ul class="nav navbar-nav">
                @if (Context.User.IsInRole("Admins"))
                {
			(links omitted)
                }
                @if (Context.User.Identity.IsAuthenticated)
                {
			(links omitted)
                }
            </ul>
        </div>
    </div>
</nav>
It's weird - the button is there, and it works, but you can't see it. What am I missing? TIA.

If anyone is curious what the problem was here, the "nav" element was missing the class "navbar-default". Adding that class fixed the display issue.

Null of Undefined: Aug 4, 2010; I have used 41 of 300 characters allowed.

Not sure how many times I have to tell my clients the exact steps their dev-ops people have to take to make things work, but apparently it's at least once more.

them: *morning call* null, the things aren't working
me: okay lemme see
me: okay so it looks like of the 3 steps I gave your dev-ops they performed 0
them: oh was that all needed for it to work?
me: yes. yes it was.

this is like the 10th time they've asked me to fix poo poo, I tell them exactly how, and they don't do it. I'd do it myself but they're a big corporation that doesn't give even limited access to the dev-ops tools to contractors (dumb).

oh well.
