    Chrome pop ups/unders

    in IT and Computers

    Posted

    Hi

    For many years Chrome has been my browser of choice.

    Recently it has been allowing many pop up and under pages. I can't believe how bad it is.

    I do have the usual ad blockers in place but page like 'update your java' and many other useless pages are popping up when you click anywhere in Chrome,

    I've tried adding the common offending URLs to create my own filters but it keeps happening.

    I've told my kids not to click on any pages that open on their own but I'm afraid that some appealing page might lead to a virus getting installed on my PC's.

    Has anyone experienced this? Did you find a solution?

    Cheers

    Developing mobile apps

    in Mobile Devices and Apps

    Posted

    Hi

    I've googled around but cannot find a solution.

    Does anyone know where I can learn to develop mobile apps?

    There are many online sites that allow you to create a 'flat' app (basically just clicking links) but I'd like to be able to create something a wee bit more complicated.

    I see PhoneGap appears to provide a solution (but I need a bit of hand holding to get it going).

    So, does anyone know where, in Bangkok, I can get some instruction?

    (my background is in IT - programmer for almost 30 years - so I'm obviously a bit long in the tooth and I'm interested in getting a bit more up to date).

    Thanks

    Multiple language website

    in IT and Computers

    Posted

    Hi

    I'm working on a website for a friend. He wants the site to be available in multiple languages.

    I set up an SQL table called languages with two fields the first field is the language code (EN, TH etc.) and the second contains the wording in that foreign language (English, ภาษาไทย). The second field is datatype nvarchar(max). When I look at the content of the table in SQL Server Management Studio everything looks fine (various languages are displayed correctly).

    The problem is that, when I extract the language data from the table and try and display them in a page, the foreign languages come out as ?????

    I've Googled until my fingers are numb testing various suggestions concerning the doctype and utf-8 and many, many other things but I cannot get the languages to display correctly in any screen.

    I was wondering if anyone out there has accomplished the above (multiple languages on a page) and can paste a simple HTML example (<html> down to </html>) that I can use to finally get passed this problem.

    Thanks, fingers crossed,

    Mick
