Okay, thanks.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
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.

Your tag here.
tommyrot -
You might try onBlur or onFocus in conjunction with onChange. onKeyPress might also be of use.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
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.]

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
The easiest way to make it go away is to try logging out/logging in again, or if that fails, rebooting.

I have joined the Flickr crowd, and am currently tearing my hair out over the various upload tools. The iPhoto plugin has a tendency to freeze if you ask it to upload more than 10 pics at a time. The OSX downloader is a PITA to use altogether.
Are there other options that aren't on the Flickr site? That work better?
