javascript - Is an autocomplete text box for entering addresses a good idea? -

-

Traditionally, entering my address goes crazy to me:

  • Why me Enter my city, state, and zip code when my city and state can be guessed from my zip code?
  • Choosing your state from a dropdown list is a pain in the ass - often you can not tab in it, you have to use the mouse etc.

    • As you type, we try to geocode your address (via Gmail Maps):

    In the best case, it really is well If your address is "120W 45th St., New York, NY 10036, USA", then you can enter it by typing something "120 w 45th st, nyc".

    However, I know, we are the only online store using this interface. Rather than wanting myself to be such a talented, I'm curious that the lack of use of it means that this idea is somehow faulty. Some potential issues:

    1. Very foreign / unfamiliar customers are used for the old form, and changing things on them is confusing.
    2. You have to enter anything in your apartment / floor number / in a different area. this is confusing.
    3. When our shop is running (there is a good problem), we will kill Google with more zodiac requests for it.
    4. Edit: This will not work for users (~ 5%) with Javascript.
    5. There is no important issue here and this interface is the future (it is not very foreign, for example, many online stores force you to enter your credit card number and your credit card type , When it is later estimated from the east). Anyway, basically I'm curious if this is an area in which I should try to innovate, or I should use the traditional approach. (Ideas about improvement in the applicability of this new approach have been appreciated).

multiple drop dashes vs single text fields The discussion raises some interesting utility discussions that the different state and country's fields are commonly used, you can break the rule of "I do not have to think" but the auto helps to fully explain what is necessary.

Jacob Nelson argues that a text field of address is easy to use for users:

Such information is often harder in users' fingers, and Selecting such options breaks the standard pattern to enter a menu information and can make more work for users ()

On the other hand, information from fixed lists Selecting for errors A little space would mean and some people prefer to use a mouse (for example, people go to the edit menu to access commands such as copy and paste).

You have to judge and call your target audience.

c# - ListView onScroll event -

-
I am programming a simple C # application, and I need a Scallow event on the list view. So I inherited the original ListView class created in ListviewEx witch. I found out how to locate the scroll message from WinAPI and I modified the WndProc method. Now I have this WndProc: protected override zero WndProc (Ref message message) {base.WndProc (Ref I); If (m.msg == WM_VSCROLL) {onScroll (This, New EventArgs ()); }} But the problem is, I do not know how to know about scrolling information. This data should be in wParam, but there is a LOWORD macro ++ like in C in C # and I switch to find the criteria like SB_ below, SB_ENDSCROLL, SB_PAGEUP etc. there any way Need to change the LOWORD macro from C #? Or any other way to find the necessary parameters about scrolling? You can define the WParam constants as the following: Private const int WM_HSCROLL = 0x114; Private Constant WM_VSCROLL = 0x115; Private contact int SBHOZZ = 0; Private Consultant SB_VERT = 1; Private Con...

PHP - get image from byte array -

I am trying to create a back-end for my mobile application. I am sending the content of an image in the body of the HTTP request (output stream) as a byte array, I want to read this stream of bytes in PHP scripts and take back an image. Can anyone tell me how can I do this? Thank you. You can obtain the request body $ body = Reading from file_get_contents ('php: // input'); What you do with that data Depending on you, you can write the data in a file as you mentioned that this is image data, you can drop the data into the object can do. Another option is to use and load the image.

Linux Terminal Problem with Non-Canonical Terminal I/O app -

-
I have a small app written in C to run on Linux. Part of the app accepts user-input from keyboard , And it uses non-canonical terminal mode so that it can respond to each keystroke. The section of the code that accepts input is a simple task that is called repeatedly in the loop: char get_input () {char C = 0; Int res = reading (input_tamille, & amp; c, 1); If (RSS == 0) 0 returns; If (res == -1) {/ * snip error handling * /} return c; } It reads a letter from the terminal if there is no input within a given time limit, (c_cc [VTIME] value in the vocabulary structure), read () 0 And get_input () is called again It all works very well, I have recently discovered that if you run this app in a terminal window, and then the app Close the terminal window without ending, the app will not exit Received, but CPU intensive launches into an infinite loop, where the read () returns 0 without waiting continued. So how can I get out of the apple if it runs from the terminal win...
