How to enable Save and Quit Tabs in Firefox 4

I was more than excited to install a new version of firefox when I heard that they already released the community - driven development of the fourth version (firefox 4). After quite some time of enjoyment with the browser's graphics and ergonomics, I found out that they DID NOT enable the window prompt to SAVE TABS. When you close the browser, all you get is a notification to CONFIRM that you are really closing the tabs.

For me this is a great BOO-HOO! I live with my tabs; When I close the browser I want to see them again the next time I open it. Good thing I found a relatively good (but not user - friendly) solution and it goes like this:

Step 1: Type about:config in the address bar. Click "I'll be careful, I promise!" button.

Step 2: Type browser.showQuitWarning in the filter tab that you will see. This will show you one row of result of browser.showQuitWarning set to false.

Step 3:  Double click the row. The Value column should have true value. Like this:

 

Step 4: Close the about:config tab.

That's all! Give it a shot, I hope it helps!

How to remove events not used in NETBEANS

You might want to remove some events that are not used anymore in your NetBeans file project. You cannot just delete it from the code editor because NetBeans lock it, indicated by the gray color of the line of codes.
Here's how to remove those unused codes:

1. Go to the GUI builder, the Design view of your file.
2. Right click and select Properties. The default open tab is the Properties list. Select the Events tab.

3. You would see events list and what handlers these events are associated.

4. Choose the event you'd like to delete by selecting the [...] button.

5. A new dialog will pop up. Select the handler then click Remove button.

How to change any date format to DATE datatype in MySQL (Insert or Update)

 ----

Use this function:  STR_TO_DATE('date', 'format')

This accepts two parameters: date and format where date is the input raw date you want to change and format is the corresponding format relative to date that you want to change.

For example:
INSERT INTO table(date_field) VALUES(STR_TO_DATE('December 8, 2010','%M %d,%Y'));

Note: table is the name of the table in database and date_field is the name of field in DATE datatype.

The statement above shows 2 parameters date as 'December 8, 2010' and format '%M %d, %Y'. The format is the exact format of the date, so that the mysql knows from what format will it convert the date  to DATE datatype format which is '%y-%m-%d'.

Other valid examples are:

INSERT INTO table(date_field) VALUES(STR_TO_DATE('12-31-2004', '%m-%d-%Y'));

INSERT INTO table(date_field) VALUES(STR_TO_DATE('12/31/2004', '%m/%d/%Y'));

UPDATE table SET date_field =  STR_TO_DATE('Dec 31, 2004', '%b %d, %Y');

How to Select All textfield/ password field Java

--start--
Sample code:

     int i = textfield.getText().length();
     textfield.setSelectionStart(0);
     textfield.setSelectionEnd(i);


Put this in the action or wherever you want it. Replace textfield variable to the name of your textfield. I'm not sure but this might work for JTextArea and JTextPane too.

How to redirect Back to previous page PHP

Put this in your code:

that is a javascript code.


As for me, I embedded it to my php file like this:

if(!checkEverything()){ // a function that contains checking of fields.

SCRIPT HERE* //redirects Back to the previous page with values still in the form

    }else{

    displayAll(); // a function that displays all

}

Note: I cannot add the script as it is because blogspot reads the script and the effect is redirecting you to your previous page. As an alternative I put it as image :)

Hope this helps. It worked 100% for me :)

How to remove JTextArea line around rectangle (border)

 code:

textarea.setBorder(null);

In NetBeans:
1. Click the text area
2. Go to Properties
3. Scroll to Other Properties
4. Go to border then select (No Border)

5. Put this in your constructor:

jScrollPane1.setBorder(null);

This is because NetBeans automatically creates scrollpane to your text area and its border is visible until you set it to null.

6. Run the file to see the result.

It worked for me just fine :)
