Charter Telephone reviews, boylston?
by John Stoffel 29 Sep '18

29 Sep '18

Hi, Anyone on here using Charter Telephone VOIP service? I've currently got Verizon, but the wife hates it because our phone lines get flaky all the time, esp when it rains. So I'm thinking to save money and combine all my stuff onto Charter. I've already got High Speed internet and regular old cable. Not wild about Digital Cable since I'm happy with Tivo and I don't want yet another set top box to have to deal with... So, any horror stories about Charter Phone VOIP quality and service? Thanks, John

[OT] Internet Service Provider
by Chuck Noyes 02 Dec '11

02 Dec '11

Hi All, I'm getting fed up with Verizon's inability to fix their DSL service - it's been incredibly slow for the last couple of months. Customer support has been no help. So, I'm curious what ISP people like (and don't like). I'd prefer a local one, but at this point, I'm not fussy. I'm looking for something reliable. We have Charter as the cable TV provider. I don't know if I want to go that route. I don't want to start a "religious war" - I'm just looking for information so I can make an informed decision. Thanks, -Chuck

Since Charter's modem is intended to connect to an Ethernet network and you wireless router is intended to connect to an ethernet network, then all should work fine together. That is the benefit of a standard. /Steve -- Steven Greenberg Email: steve(a)ssgreenberg.name 251 Holland Rd.

I am happy with Charter. I use their Modem, but my own wireless router. I can't get Verizon DSL out here in the boondocks, so once I went with Charter for the internet, I did the phone with them, too. /Steve -- Steven Greenberg Email: steve(a)ssgreenberg.name 251 Holland Rd.

jQuery help?
by John Stoffel 15 Nov '11

15 Nov '11

Anyone using jQuery (javascript) to program some client side elements in a web page? For example, I'm looking to have a drop down with a vary number of records to display on a page, and I want to update the display without reloading the page. So I'm playing with using 'Mojolicious::Lite' and some jQuery, but I'm hitting some brick walls. Anyone care to look at this code below and tell me why I don't see my selected values from the two different <select> pairs showing up in the named <div> pairs? #!/usr/bin/perl # Based on: http://api.jquery.com/change/ use Mojolicious::Lite; get '/top' => sub { my $self = shift; $self->stash(x => 10); $self->render('top'); }; app->secret('sweets'); app->start; __DATA__ @@ top.html.ep % title "jQuery dropdown select tests"; % layout "head"; <select name="sweets" multiple="multiple"> <option>Chocolate</option> <option selected="selected">Candy</option> <option>Taffy</option> <option selected="selected">Caramel</option> <option>Fudge</option> <option>Cookie</option> </select> <div id="sweets"></div> <script type="text/javascript"> $("select").change(function () { var strstr = ""; $("select option:selected").each(function () { strstr += $(this).text() + " "; }); $("div#sweets").text(strstr); }) .change(); </script> <hr> <select name="trees"> <option>Oak</option> <option selected="selected">Beech</option> <option>Pine</option> <option>Ash</option> <option>Willow</option> <option>Elm</option> </select> <script type="text/javascript"> $("select").change(function () { var str = ""; $("select option:selected").each(function () { str += $(this).text() + " "; }); $("div#trees").value(str); }) .change(); </script> <div id="trees"></div> @@ head.html.ep <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title> <%= $title %> </title> <style> div { color:red; } </style> <script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.js"></script> </head> <body> <%= content %? </body> </html> --
