Breaking the silence
Category show-n-tell thursday
So... five weeks later, here's my followup to my last post. Apparently I''ve been incredibly preoccupied. To recap, I promised to share an approach to performing database/template upgrades via HTTP. This is what I came up with. It works. Sort of.
Caught up in the novelty of this idea, I forgot one wee little detail: cross-domain AJAX isn't allowed. Silly Timmy. Given the intended use, being unable to pull the upgrade data from a remote location essentially makes it useless. So, as much as it pained me to do so, I reverted to the quaint old IFRAME approach. And even that seems to have difficulty dealing with cross-domain data. Nonetheless, I'm posting what I've come up with so far. It should give you some idea of what I was aiming for, and likelier than not, one of you will be able to tell me where it went awry.
On a happier note, for any of you who remain curious about the status of XIDED, it's coming along nicely. Just taking longer than planned... this is the reason; although the core engine has long since been humming away like a happy little go-cart, support for creation and modification of each category of design element requires analysis of the DTD to identify every setting that is currently supported by the importer and exporter. It's a much larger undertaking than I'd first estimated, but it's been fascinating so far, even bordering on fun. And surprisingly enough, it's actually somewhat visually appealing. I'll toss some screenshots up here at some point for your perusal.

Prof.dr MILA JANCETOVIC, accused for the corruption, misuse of the official position and illegal selling of the exams results including diplomas.
We as students of the Belgrade Business School in the further text (BPS), taking this chance to appeal to the Minister of Education and Sport of the Government of Serbia. Subject of our appeal is the criminal behavior of the Prof.dr Mila Jancetovic who is resuming the post as director of the BPS. She tolerate and furthermore participate in the corruption related to the selling the exams results etc. She is not alone. Together with here there several other professors such: Luka Filipovic, Slobodan Vucicevic and Slobodan Komazec.
The main dealer of the exams results are: Mr.Sasa Grajic, chief of staff in the BPS and Mr.Miodrag Paspalj, president of the student union of the BPS.
All activities directed to illegal selling of the exams results, pressure on the other professor to give those student that pay good score are organize by Ms.Ljijana Trikic who is personal secretary of Prof.dr Mila Jancetovic and Ms.Borjana Mirjanic so called Public Relation Manager of the BPS.
This three individuals Prof. dr Mila Jancetovic, Ms. Ljiljana Trikic and Ms. Borjana Mirjanic are responsible for the illegal publishing of the fake diploma of the BPS and they will be subject of criminal investigation shortly.
On the our web site { Link } all related to corruption in the BPS was announced but director Prof.dr Mila Jancetovic together with Ms. Borjana Mirjanic banned our web site and removed as reference from the main www.bbs.edy.yu
Therefore, we students are prosecuted and threaded on the same way how dictator Slobodan Milosevic threat us just several years ago. This kind of tyranny and behavior is characteristic for the old communist regime where Prof.dr Mila Jancetovic belong.
One of our colleagues Mr. Bojan Petrovic openly criticized the BPS and director Mila Jancetovic. Immediately after he was kicked out from the Student Union fully controlled by director Jancetovic.
We as student believe in Justice, so we expect Minister and the Government of Serbia to react fast and replace Prof.dr Mila Jancetovic from the position of the director and take all necessary measurers to bring here to the Justice and custody.
