Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
eRoom's not that bad, actually. The core Documentum software is pretty much endless in its complexity, but eRoom is an add on (it's collaborative software). I've done some eRoom moderation myself, without training or manuals, and it wasn't bad.
Here's the product page, and you can register to use sample eRooms too.
Okay, thanks.
I've used Documentum! We were all very bitter having to learn how, but I liked it, in the end. Then I started at a new company, and they decided they didn't want to spend the money, and use some kinda homegrown crappy thing which is even MORE irritating, and which I...still havent' learned.
Any Javascript programmers out there?
I need some event handler to detect when a user changes a combo box (aka pulldown menu). Ah, but what about the onchange event? Well, we've discovered that sometimes that event won't fire. If, for example, a user pulls down the dropdown menu and types 'p', resulting in 'Paul' being selected, and then clicks on 'Paul', the onchage event won't happen. (It will happen if the user clicks on something other than 'Paul' i.e. what's selected.)
There is no onclick event for a pulldown menu. There is onmousedown and onmouseup, but then those events fire, the code sees what the value of the pulldown menu was before the user clicks, and I need to know what's selected after the user clicks on the menu. Or else I need to know when the user clicks on a value--the onmouseup event also fires when the user first pulls down the menu with the mouse, and I need to differentiate that event from the event when the user actually selects a value.
I have the feeling that what I want to do is impossible. I also have the feeling that the above is not too clear.

You might try onBlur or onFocus in conjunction with onChange. onKeyPress might also be of use.
Name my TiVo!
My PDA is suddenly unable to sync -- it keeps telling me "port is in use by another application."
This seems to have happened last night, when I installed Adobe Acrobat Reader for Palm, but I don't know where to go to tell whatever else is using the port to get its ass out of there.
I'm on OSX (Tiger), using Missing Sync with a Clie, if that helps.
[eta: Oh, how weird -- when I opened Missing Sync manually and tried again, it worked. Now lets see if it will also sync my PDFs.]
[eta2: Sweet! Workiness has been achieved.]
The easiest way to make it go away is to try logging out/logging in again, or if that fails, rebooting.
amych... how about Dirk?
