script.aculo.us drag and sort scrolling bug

For those who uses the script.aculo.us drag and drop js libs, this is an explain for fixing a scrolling bug.
if your dragable element has a scrolling bar, when you try to scroll it also start dragging the element.
i fixed this bug, do the following steps and it will work perfectly:
open the file "dragdrop.js" for edit, after the following code:
if((tag_name = src.tagName.toUpperCase()) &&
( tag_name=='INPUT'
tag_name=='SELECT'
tag_name=='OPTION'
tag_name=='BUTTON'
tag_name=='TEXTAREA')) return;

add the following line:
if( src.undragable!=null) return;

this line means that if there's a tag in the element that called "undragable" so it wont move the element.

when you want to set an element with a scrollbar, just add the "undragable" tag to it and it will fix the problem, for example:

< d iv height="50%" width="100%"undragable style="height: 200px; overflow:auto;scrollbar-arrow-color: #808080; scrollbar-track-color: #FFFFFF; scrollbar-face-color: #FFFFFF; scrollbar-highlight-color: #808080; scrollbar-3dlight-color: #FFFFFF; scrollbar-darkshadow-color: #FFFFFF;scrollbar-shadow-color: #808080;"

Url Encode function. Encode a string according to W3C standards

this is a function that turns all the chars in a string to the W3C Standards. 

/**
  * Encode a string according to W3C standards.
  *
  */
 public static String urlEncoder(String s) {
  if (s == null)
   return s;
  StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer(s.length() * 3);
  try {
   char c;
   for (int i = 0; i < s.length(); i++) {
    c = s.charAt(i);
    if (c == '&') {
     sb.append("&amp;");
    } else if (c == ' ') {
     sb.append('+');
    } else if (
     (c >= ',' && c <= ';')
       (c >= 'A' && c <= 'Z')
       (c >= 'a' && c <= 'z')
       c == '_'
       c == '?') {
     sb.append(c);
    } else {
     sb.append('%');
     if (c > 15) { // is it a non-control char, ie. >x0F so 2 chars
      sb.append(Integer.toHexString((int)c)); // just add % and the string
     } else {
      sb.append("0" + Integer.toHexString((int)c));
      // otherwise need to add a leading 0
     }
    }
   }

  } catch (Exception ex) {
   return (null);
  }
  return (sb.toString());
 }

Replace relative links to absolute base links in HTML - Java

this is a function that can add a base url to all urls in an html page, this code was translated from this vb function displayed here :http://www.motobit.com/tips/detpg_replace-relative-links/

special thanks to the original coder...

the function (java) was tested and run successfully!

windows vista: access: local only

Ok, this is my first post of non programming issue but it still usefull for computers users.
Last week i got a new HP Laptop, with windows vista insite, it's cool looking, i was so happy with it untill i had the first problem, i couldn't surf the net.
well, i will not talk alot, because i guess some of you is reading here after a few days of searching.
well, what i had is like that:
i could connect to the network and see other computers but could not surf the net
that what you should do:
go to the network connection icon on the tray - > right click ->network and Sharing Center -> on the left press of the Manage network connection - > right click on the network that you want to log in to -> properties -> now you have some check boxes :
uncheck the Internet Protocol Version 6
stand on the Internet Protocol Version 4 and press properties :
check the Use the following IP Address :
and on the fields fill the following:
IP Address : [put an IP the is fine with your router]
Subnet mask : 255.255.255.0
Default gateway: the ip of your router

then check : use the following DNS server addresses
Prefered DNS server: the ip of your router.

press OK -> OK and restart your computer.

for me it worked..
