Mood: The Grumpy Coder

Comments on some article comments

I just thought it would be beneficial to all if I comment on two comments that I recieved on my article about keeping scrollback position. Let's start off with the contridictary comment:

Is this the same code as here, did Justin acknowledge Stanley Glass? Even though it is in VB.

I am unsure. Just look at the date of my article and compare it to the newsgroup post. You should find that Stanley should be the one acknowledging my work... not the other way around. I have already complained a little bit on someone else's blog that people were just replicating my code and passing it off as theirs.

This will save a lot of people frustration using smart navigation. This is what you would expect from the development community and shows we are all out to solve the same problems. I hope Microsoft solves this problem with ASP.NET 2.0?

Your hopes and desires are Microsoft's dream :-). Fortunately, Microsoft makes dreams come true. To enable keeping scrolling over post backs, all you have to do is have the following code on your page:

<%@ Page MaintainScrollPositionOnPostback="true" %>

Or you can enable it in the web.config file on the page section:

<page maintainScrollPositionOnPostback="true" />

Haha, yeah, it's important to acknowledge original source IF it was used to write an article. Sometimes, I see the same article written by two different people, and that's shady. Whenever I use a reference, I try my best to keep them all in the article (see <insert reference site>) or acknowledge them in the end of the article. It's not cool to plagurize.

Yeah, it is not cool to plagurize. I have an idea of whom posted that "comment" (or "accusation"; whatever one may feel fit) but I am going to keep my tongue in my cheek.

I just do not bother about who has copied my code in newsgroups or forums. That is fine -- that was the original intention of the article. The thing is that someone must not accuse me of plagurisium with the dates being out of sync... and the references.
