Error 1606. Could not access network location %SystemDrive%\inetpub\wwwroot\

To correct this error, you will need to make a quick change in the registry:

1. Make a backup of your registry.
2. Start | Run | regedit
3. Browse to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\InetStp using regedit

1. Change the key PathWWWRoot to read “@C:\inetpub\wwwroot@” (your default website location in IIS) instead of %SystemDrive%\inetpub\wwwroot

Every programmer who’s tried to apply classical Object Oriented techniques when developing with JavaScript, has at one time or another asked themselves the question: How do you call or invoke a super class method? Before the Ajax craze got into full swing, this question rarely arose because most developers were only exposed to the language when doing client-side form validation or simple DHTML / DOM element visibility toggling. In those simple situations, functional programming is sufficient and OO is of lesser importance. Now that Ajax is all the rage, programmers have been building increasingly complex systems involving large amounts of client-side JavaScript. As a result, many have tried to apply OO techniques to JavaScript as a way to manage that complexity. In the process, most developers quickly realize that JavaScript is a prototypical language and as a result lacks many of the more familiar OO conventions.

Despite being a pure JavaScript framework, qooxdoo is quite on par with GUI toolkits like Qt, SWT and others when it comes to advanced yet easy to implement user interfaces. It offers a full-blown set of widgets that are hardly distinguishable from elements of native desktop applications. Full built-in support for keyboard navigation, focus and tab handling and drag & drop is provided. Dimensions can be specified as static, auto-sizing, stretching, percentage, weighted flex or min/max or even as combinations of those. All widgets are based on powerful and flexible layout managers which are a key to many of the advanced layout capabilities. Interface description is done programmatically in JavaScript for maximum performance.

No HTML has to be used and augmented to define the interface. The qooxdoo user does not even have to know CSS to style the interface. Clean and easy-to-configure themes for appearance, colors or icons allow for a full-fledged styling that even supports runtime switching.

Web applications are becoming more and more like “normal” desktop applications. Of course, they are more and more functional, but smooth user interface acts the primary role. So we have drag and drop, autocompletition, and much more. Many of those nice features got possible only with help of AJAX.

This page, however, is not about AJAX (or any other buzzword). It is about rather simple user input method — mouse wheel. I believe it would now be difficult to find a mouse without wheel. Vast majority of users are used to the wheel as a control for scrolling in lists, zooming etc. Rather few web applications, however, make use of mouse wheel. This page is to provide you with general information about handling mouse wheel-generated events in JavaScript programming language.

The purpose of this tutorial is to explain, step-by-step, how to create an AJAX desktop/homepage.

Our goal is to get up and running quickly so we will not delve deep into each subject. At the end of the tutorial I’ve included a resource section for further reading.

The tutorial will cover:

• How to detect IE/Firefox correctly
• What is the DOM and how to manipulate it using Javascript
• How to dynamically create widgets using the DOM (+ using CSS with Javascript)
• How to capture and react to mouse events
• How to drag widgets
• How to manipulate zIndex (the depth/order of widgets on the screen)
• Background about AJAX and JSON
• How to load RSS feeds into widgets

• How to create search widgets

Ajax technologies have been very visible on the web over the past year, due to their interactive nature. Google Suggest and Google Maps are some of the notable early adopters of Ajax. Companies are now thinking of how they too can leverage it, web developers are trying to learn it, security professionals are thinking of how to secure it, and penetration testers are thinking of how to hack it. Any technology that can improve the throughput of servers, produce more fluid page transitions, and make web application even richer for the end user is bound to find a place in the industry.

Ajax is considered the next step in a progression towards the trumpeted, “Web 2.0.” The purpose of this article is to introduce some of the security implications with modern Ajax web technologies. Though Ajax applications can be more difficult to test, security professionals already have most of relevant approaches and tools needed. The authors will discuss if today’s popular need to say goodbye to the full webpage refreshes using Ajax also means we are saying hello to some new security holes. We will begin with a brief discussion of the technology behind Ajax followed by a discussion on the security impact of applications using Ajax technology.

XML is the standard way to interchange data, but it’s often not the best way. Although XML can add structure and metadata to data, it does so in an overly verbose way. XML also has a fairly complex syntax, requiring a non-trivial parser to attack it. In JavaScript, XML must be parsed into a DOM tree to be used. And, once you’ve constructed the DOM tree, you still have to pilot through it to create corresponding JavaScript objects or otherwise use the XML data in your client-side Web application.

Fortunately, there’s a better way.

Welcome to JSON

The JavaScript Object Notation, or JSON, is a lightweight syntax for representing data. JSON’s elegance comes from the fact that it’s a subset of the JavaScript language itself.
