Popup Blocker Tester

I just stumbled across this today. It's a website that allows you to test your pop-up blocker. I use Firefox and got only one of the popups form the whole list. Go Mozilla!

isChecked Function

This is a function that I wrote to check whether a value is true in order to determine if a checkbox or a radio button is checked.

Use would be something likethe line below but with the {} replaced by <> if the value passed were true the box would be checked when the page loads.

{checkbox name="cbxOne" value="1"<%=isChecked(value)%>}

Click here to view the function.

HP Printer Support Can't Identify PCL

Maverick: Welcome to HP Total Care for All-in-One products. My name is Maverick. How may I assist you today?
Will Perry: I hava one, hopefully simple, question... Which OfficeJet printers support PCL5
Maverick: Could you please elaborate the issue, which would allow me to understand the issue better?
Will Perry: I am looking to purchase 5 or more OfficeJet Printers but the software I am printing with requires PCL5 compatibility. Which OfficeJet models support PCL5?
Maverick: Could you please let me know in brief what is PCL5?
Will Perry: It is a printer language written by HP
Will Perry: You can get a more information here: http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/P/PCL.html
Will Perry: Is there someone there that is familiar with HP Printers?
Will Perry: Are you still there?

I contacted HP support again and this time spoke with Rebecca who was quite helpful and came back with a list of printer models that met my specifications.

I received this e-mail from HP today apologizing for the chat session that apparently got disconnected by accident and informing me that Officejets don't support PLC's

Dear Will,

This email is a follow-up to our recent Chat interaction. We regret the inconvenience caused due to incomplete chat session.

I would like to provide a resolution to the issue which we were troubleshooting in the chat session.

Will , I am sorry to inform you that our Officejet 's are not compatable with the PLC's and only few laserjets support them.

If the issue persists, please contact us by visiting the following Web site. We will be glad to assist you further.

I'll be watching closely for them to come up and I hope to be one of the first on the list. If you want to be notified as they release their public beta you will want to subscribe to their group on Google at...

Anyway, I'll be keeping my eye on this one!
