out can save your life. A landmark UCLA study suggests that
women respond to stress with a cascade of brain chemicals that cause
us to make and maintain friendships with other women. It's a stunning
find that has turned five decades of stress research---most of it on
men---upside down. Until this study was published, scientists
generally believed that when people experience stress, they trigger a
hormonal cascade that revs the body to either stand and fight or flee
as fast as possible... (Old news, but I don't think it's been
posted before.)

Do You Want to Save Your Changes?
Do You Want to Save Your Changes?
06/18/2004 02:44 PMWeb apps are great, but they have interface problems. A Web-based
interface is just never going to be as rich as a traditional
client-server app. Spolsky alluded to this in a post I made yesterday. HTML can really go just so far before
you run into limitations. Here's a big one:
That's a pretty common dialogue box, but very hard to do on the Web.
Picture this:
Joe User has just spent 20 minutes in the article editing
interface of your Web-based content management app. He's worked over
this article until it's just perfect, laboring intensively over every
word. Then he accidentally hits Refresh and it's all gone. Joe is
not happy.
That's the problem with Web forms — there's no real way to
stop the user from screwing themselves this way.
After they start work on the form content, they can (1) click a
link and navigate away from the page, (2) press the Reset button on
the form (never put these on your forms — think about it:
when was the last time you used one), (3) close the browser,
(4) refresh the page, etc. There's any number of things they can do
to wipe out their form data, and it's very hard to stop them. I know
this because I tried...
I set out this morning to try and minimize these risks in an app
I'm developing. I come away from this process pretty convinced that
it's not practical. Here's what I tried to do:
In my page, I bound a JavaScript function to the unload event:
window.onunload = warn_if_form_dirty;
This means the "warn_if_form_dirty" function will run whenever the
current page leaves the browser window for any reason. Note that you
can't stop the event — the page is leaving no matter what, but
you can do a few things before it goes. (If you could actually stop
the page from unloading, then pop-up advertisers would have a field
day with it.)
I also set two variables:
form_dirty = false;
warn_onunload = true;
The first variable indicates whether or not the form data is
"dirty" — whether it's been changed since they loaded the page.
The second variable indicates whether or not we should warn them that
they're going to lose their data. When should we NOT warn them? When
they submit the form. Remember that the unload event fires whenever
the page unloads, even if it's because they submit, in which case they
WANT it to unload.
I added this to all my form fields:
onchange="form_dirty=true;"
So whenever a form field changes, the "dirty" switch is flipped.
And I added this to my FORM tag:
onsubmit="warn_onunload=false;"
Because, remember, if they submit the form, I don't want to warn
them. In this case the unload event is fine.
Then I wrote the actual function that will run when they attempt to
navigate away from the page while the form is dirty:
function warn_if_form_dirty()
{
if(warn_onunload == true && form_dirty == true)
{
alert('WARNING: You have chosen to navigate away from this
page. You have UNSAVED CHANGES in this form. If
you want to save these changes, click the Back button on your browser
to return to your changes and press the "Save" button.');
}
}
So, the system works something like this:
- User loads the page and starts working. "form_dirty" is
false, because no changes have been made. "warn_onunload" is true
because we want to warn them.
- User changes some form data. When this happens
"form_dirty" is now true because they have done some work and are at
risk of losing it.
- User accidentally hits the Refresh button (stupid user...).
The onunload event fires, the "warn_if_form_dirty" function runs. It
finds that both "form_dirty" and "warn_onunload" are true, so it pops
the warning.
The warning, for its part, basically says, "you may have screwed
up, and here's how to fix it if you want." Remember that I can't stop
the event. It would be nice if I could, but the potential for abuse
is huge, so you can't. All I can do is tell them what they did, and
how to fix it.
The problem: the advice isn't always true.
It would be nice if you could always hit Back and get back to your
data, but this turned out to be a lie. I tried it on a number of
machines here in the office, and whether or not this is true depends
on the browser and on the cache settings.
It seemed to work on Mozilla and Firefox all the time, but IE was
fussy. For some people it worked, but for others, IE pulled the page
fresh every time. It didn't work more often than it did.
So I come away from his experiment thinking that fighting this
scenario is a losing battle. If you're on an intranet, and everyone
is using IE with loose security, you could conceivably do some ActiveX
mojo to head it off, but that isn't an option for me.
A possible solution: browser developers should build this
functionality into the browser. They should detect whenever a user
(not script) has changed form data and warn the user if they try to
unload the page. Let the user choose to continue or cancel the
unload.
If anyone else has thoughts on theories on this subject, I'd love
to hear them.

Save Overtime Pay
Warning: AFL-CIOfilter
From the site: "Under a proposal by President Bush, more
than 8 million workers might not be paid extra for the overtime hours
they work."
Yeah, I saw the "might" in there too.
They do have a summary page of
Bush's
proposal and hey, here's a little
cartoon to help explain things.
And
this article in today's Miami Herald helps explain the issue a
little better than
this one from
the National Center for Public Policy Research which quotes The
Heritage Foundation and Secretary of Labor Elaine Choe.
As I understand it, they want to move the level of mandatory
overtime pay from about $8000 a year to $22K but there's so much
double speak and rhetoric that my head's only just stopped spinning.

Gold's resignation letter, and a letter from Roy Disney to all cast

guerilla PR from upset employees, or is there something deeper here?

Save TV From/With Broadband
06/08/2004 03:49 PMA recent survey in Europe has suggested that the rise of broadband use
is causing people to watch less TV. And if the trend continues, TV
networks will probably have to adapt by
using
broadband connections to make TV more engaging to audiences. The
ground has already been broken with people
voting for
contestants in reality shows like American Idol. So it's just a
matter of making TV even more interactive, and incorporating the
creative use of digital communication (email, IM, video capture, etc)
is just around the corner.
