How to fix comodo trust logo error/alert box
If you follow the instructions on setting up your comodo trust logo using their "Implementing a Corner of TrustLogo™ into your Website," you will be in for a shock! The trust logo causes an alert box to appear in internet explorer the very first time you move from http to https: "This page contains both secure and nonsecure items. Do you want to display the nonsecure items"Wait a minute! After installing the cert and setting up the trust logo, now my website is throwing errors? Yes, it's because the trust logo is set up to use the url you give it for the location of secure_site.gif. When you move from http to https, the image is still being pulled from the non-secure side. The URL for the image I used is: http://www.example.com/images/secure_site.gif
I used their wizard to set it up and this is what it told me to use:
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
COT("http://www.example.com/images/secure_site.gif", "SC2", "none");
</script>
As you can see, no matter whether you are in http or https, the image will always be pulled from the http side.
Here is how you fix it:
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
COT("images/secure_site.gif", "SC2", "none");
</script>
Instead of using the URL in the script, just use the relative path: images/secure_site.gif
This way, the alert will not be shown.
Printer Driver for Eltron LP2442 Label Printer
Not sure why it is so hard to find a printer driver for the eltron 2442, also known as the LP 2442. Perhaps contributing to this is the fact that I think Zebra bought out Eltron. In any case, the LP 2442 takes the same driver as the LP 2443. That model is not made any more either! But the driver for the Zebra LP 2844 will work for both the LP 2442 and the LP 2443. So, go to Discontinued Printers: No Longer Serviced at the zebra.com website and look for the LP 2443. From there you will find the link to the 2844 printer driver. You have to register with Zebra to get the download.For installation of the printer driver on Windows, you have to set the printer model to LP2443, as the LP2442 is not listed.
OpenWYSIWYG_Limited v1.0
The folks over at www.openwebware.com created a great little textarea replacement script called OpenWYSIWYG. For my application, I needed to be able to set a limit on how many characters can be input, and also to count character input in real time, and to show the user his progress in some kind of graphical form. I am releasing the result: OpenWYSIWYG_Limited.
Please note that I am releasing OpenWYSIWYG_Limited under GPL V2. (OpenWYSIWYG is released under LGPL). OpenWYSIWYG_Limited is NOT for use in any commercial/proprietary software/web application.
