Go to https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/ Find the list of older versions in the above link. Select the operating system you want to install in. Select the Language you want to install in. An executable will be downloaded. Run the .exe file to install the firef...

The following tests range A2 to A7 for duplicate values. Remark: This example illustrates a possible solution as a first approach to a solution. It's faster to use an array than a range and one could use collections or dictionaries or xml methods to check for duplicates. Sub find_duplicates() ...

To test an add-on you are developing, you will likely desire to install it in Firefox temporarily. You can do so by loading it as a Temporary Add-on. To do so: Go to about:debugging Click on "Load Temporary Add-on" In the file picker, navigate to the directory containing the add-on f...

Where command line arguments are supported they can be read in via the get_command_argument intrinsic (introduced in the Fortran 2003 standard). The command_argument_count intrinsic provides a way to know the number of arguments provided at the command line. All command-line arguments are read in ...

This: class Foo extends Dynamic { // Expressions are only rewritten to use Dynamic if they are not already valid // Therefore foo.realField will not use select/updateDynamic var realField: Int = 5 // Called for expressions of the type foo.field def selectDynamic(fieldName: String) = ...

This: class Villain(val minions: Map[String, Minion]) extends Dynamic { def applyDynamic(name: String)(jobs: Task*) = jobs.foreach(minions(name).do) def applyDynamicNamed(name: String)(jobs: (String, Task)*) = jobs.foreach { // If a parameter does not have a name, and is simply given, th...

Slightly counterintuitively (but also the only sane way to make it work), this: val dyn: Dynamic = ??? dyn.x(y) = z is equivalent to: dyn.selectDynamic("x").update(y, z) while dyn.x(y) is still dyn.applyDynamic("x")(y) It is important to be aware of this, or else...

Result<T, E> is an enum type which has two variants: Ok(T) indicating successful execution with meaningful result of type T, and Err(E) indicating occurrence of an unexpected error during execution, described by a value of type E. enum DateError { InvalidDay, InvalidMonth, } str...

When it comes to dealing with timing issue, it is tempting and easy to put a "quick" browser.sleep(<timeout_in_milliseconds>) and move on. The problem is, it would some day fail. There is no golden/generic rule on what sleep timeout to set and, hence, at some point due to network or...

Using a CASE statement, conditionally display an expression in the column based on values found in another column, a.k.a. “my kingdom for an OR”. In the example, the result is obtained when the status of the transaction is Pending Fulfillment or Partially Fulfilled: CASE DECODE( {status}, 'Pending ...

Using a regular expression, parse a record name that might be hierarchical. The expression looks for the final colon in the name. It returns what follows the colon, or the entire name if none: regexp_substr( {name} , '[^:]*$' )

The example builds a string from the name of the parent record, the name of this record, and the memo of this record. {createdfrom} || ' ' || {name} || ' ' || {memo}

'<div style="font-size:11pt">' || expression || '</div>'

In a string formula field, consider that some values might contain substrings which look to the browser like HTML. Unless this is intentional, it is important to protect the values from corruption. This is useful to avoid injection attacks: it prevents someone from entering HTML into a comment field...

In a saved search formula, the possible values of mainline are designed to be useful in an HTML context. When mainline is true, the value of {mainline} is the 1-character string * (asterisk). When mainline is false, the value of {mainline} is the 6-character string   (non-breaking space, HT...

The following example combines several of the techniques covered here. It puts a hyperlink in a custom formatted column which, when clicked, opens the sales order record associated with a row. The hyperlink is designed to open the record in a new window or tab when clicked, and to display a tooltip ...

JavaScript allows us to define getters and setters in the object literal syntax. Here's an example: var date = { year: '2017', month: '02', day: '27', get date() { // Get the date in YYYY-MM-DD format return `${this.year}-${this.month}-${this.day}` }, ...

String literals provide the most convenient way to represent string values in Java source code. A String literal consists of: An opening double-quote (") character. Zero or more other characters that are neither a double-quote or a line-break character. (A backslash (\) character alters t...

var setValue; var obj = {}; Object.defineProperty(obj, "objProperty", { get: function(){ return "a value"; }, set: function(value){ setValue = value; } });
