Buying flats in Goa, India

When buying a flat in Goa whether its from a reputed builder or otherwise. there are a lot of things that need to be checked like water proofing, painting, tiles, taps, electrical switches and wiring. its best that before taking possession of the flat verify that everything is done as per the agreement.

After i booked a flat from "Kurtarkar Real Estates", before making the final payment and then taking possession of the flat, i had to do a lot of running around with the site engineer and the workers to make sure that everything was done according to the sale agreement. This would not be expected from a reputed builder but once they get the money its all the same.

You need to make sure that

the taps are fitted properly and there are no leaks at the joints.
All the electrical points acutally work.
The wash basin and kitchen sinks have the outlet pipes fitted properly and water does not leak from the joints.
its best to look for a flat during hte monsoon season from june to september that way you can be sure if water proofing was done properly or you will see the water seepage on the walls.

Dojo 1.3.0 combobox autocomplete with dynamic population of data from database

In Dojo 1.3.0 to refesh an ItemFileReadStore attached to a combobox, we need to

set attributes urlPreventCache="true" clearOnClose="true" for the ItemFileReadStore
call the close() and fetch() methods of ItemFileReadStore

The below snippets of code have been tested in IE 6 and Firefox 3.5.3

Somefile.jsp

<html>
...
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function setComboValue(evt)
{
var comboId = dijit.byId('comboId');
if (comboId && comboId.item)
{
comboId.attr('abbreviation', comboId.item.abbreviation);
}

}
function searchForValue(evt)
{
if (evt.keyCode == 38 || evt.keyCode == 40 || evt.keyCode == 13) {
//do nothing if up arrow, down arrow or enter keys are pressed
}
else
{
var comboId = dijit.byId('comboId');
comboId.store.url = "<%=request.getContextPath()%>/searchChar.htm?myParam=" + evt.target.value;
comboId.store._jsonFileUrl = "<%=request.getContextPath()%>/searchChar.htm?myParam=" + evt.target.value;
stateStore.close();
stateStore.fetch();
}
}

var requestContents = {
override: dijit.byId("comboId").attr('abbreviation')
};

dojo.xhrPost({
url: "/someUrlTOPost.htm",
content: requestContents,
handleAs: "json",
load: function(response, args){
if(response.errors != null) {
console.log("error returned..." + response)

}
else {

console.log("add successful...");
console.log(response);
//do something useful
}
},
error: function(response, args){

}
});
</scrip>
</head>
...
<div dojoType="dojo.data.ItemFileReadStore" jsId="stateStore"
urlPreventCache="true" clearOnClose="true" id="stateStore"
url="<%=request.getContextPath()%>/searchChar.htm?myParam="></div>

<input id="comboId" dojoType="dijit.form.ComboBox"
store="stateStore" autocomplete="false" hasDownArrow="false"
searchAttr="name" onkeyup="searchForValue" searchDelay="500"
onblur="setComboValue" name="abbreviation" />
....
</html>

Json Array for data store ItemFileReadStore

{
identifier:"id",
label: "name",
items: [
{name:"Alabama", label:"Alabama",id:"0"},
{name:"Alaska", label:"Alaska",id:"1"},
{name:"American Samoa", label:"American Samoa",id:"2"},
{name:"Arizona", label:"Arizona",id:"3"},
{name:"Arkansas", label:"Arkansas",id:"4"}
]
}

Refeshing an ItemFileReadStore
by Gary Acord

This is a pretty common need with a pretty simple solution. How do you clear out the existing Data in a store, and populate it with new Data in Dojo 1.2?

The solution is pretty easy. Let’s assume you have an ItemFileReadStore (this works with ItemFileWriteStore as well) named myStore.

This creates an ItemFileRead store and assigns it to the global variable myStore.

Then you can force it to reload as such:

myStore.close();
myStore.fetch();

If you need to change the url of the store (as of Dojo 1.2.3) you can do it like this:

myStore.close();
myStore._jsonFileUrl = newurl;
myStore.fetch();

… and if you have a grid bound to the store, force it to reload

myStore.close();
myStore.fetch();
myGrid._refresh();

Javascript - defining and using custom events

This site has a good article that explains the creation and firing of custom javascript events without the use of 3rd party libraries.

Class

var CustomEvent = function() {
 //name of the event
 this.eventName = arguments[0];
 var mEventName = this.eventName;

 //function to call on event fire
 var eventAction = null;

 //subscribe a function to the event
 this.subscribe = function(fn) {
  eventAction = fn;
 };

 //fire the event
 this.fire = function(sender, eventArgs) {
  this.eventName = eventName2;
  if(eventAction != null) {
   eventAction(sender, eventArgs);
  }
  else {
   alert('There was no function subscribed to the ' + mEventName + ' event!');
  }
 };

Register event handlervar myEvent = new CustomEvent("my event");
myEvent.subscribe(function(sender, eventArgs) {
 alert(eventArgs.message);
});

Fire custom event
myEvent.fire(null, {
 message: 'you just witnessed the firing of a custom event called ' + this.eventName + '!'
});

'This page contains both secure and nonsecure items' using Internet Explorer

when secure pages say 'This page contains both secure and nonsecure items' using Internet Explorer 6.0 then this message occurs when attempting to view a webpage using https that contains information linked using http.

a) for example if the line below is present in a webpage
< src="http://mydomain.com/images/image1234.jpg">, and this webpage is accessed using HTTPS then that line can cause that error message to be displayed.

b) if your webpage has any iframes in them then be sure to specify the src attribute. Try “#” or “javascript:void(0);” or "javascript:'<html></html>';"
This “javascript:void(0);” worked for me in IE 6.0.
