While using AJAX some users would press the backspace button on their keyboard and the browser would go back so they would loose what they where doing in the ajax refreshed page ..... the SOLUTION (keep reading):

Objetive:
*Update automatically the revision number in the web.config file of a website in my project.
(I wanted to show the users looking at the remote server the revision they are looking at)
Environment
* SVN installed in my local (c:\svn)
* Remote Windows Server that updates the trunk every X minutes
* Make sure your web.config has a section like: (inside the configuration branch)

Solutions:
I created two macros.... one for adding the revision number on demand (selected project and press of a button) and the other one will write it every time the build command is called.
for the macro code click Read more....

Symptoms:
Default button not does not fire when enter key is pressed using Firefox. (using the ajax ControlToolkit)
Fix:
add this property to the ASP button

So it looks like:

"The problem wasn't that it didn't do a postback. That it did. What it didn't do was hit the server side event (the button click event)."

this will allow names like:
Jon Doe ---- Jørn ---- Mc'Neelan
match names and dis-allow any attempts to send evil characters. In particular, it tries to allow non-english names by allowing unicode characters.
^([ \u00c0-\u01ffa-zA-Z'])+$
example of use:

If you need to localize asp pages or custom controls that are located in subfolders you will need multiple App_LocalResources folder.....
So Create a App_LocalResources folder inside each sub-folder of your webproject where pages are accessed. And put the proper file translations inside of it.

After following all the instructions in the readme of the flatforum things didn't look good at all... and there were problems.... So I made some changes which are below....
(example of patched flatforum in use)
I used a different CSS.
I used a different node-forum.tpl.php
Also I changed the way flatforum checks if is a forum or not.. the one that came with flatforum I think it was messing up the colors on the forum if you used a custom one ... this is the patch works against drupal 5.1 (there is no more _is_forum() )
at the bottom you can download all the files in case you want to make it exactly as this forum
Instructions for the download file:
1. put the forum.css in the /modules/flatforum/ folder
2. put the node-forum.tpl.php in the /themes/garland/ folder
3. now have a choice:
* you can use the ff.patch file to patch the /themes/garland/template.php
or
* replace the /themes/garland/template.php file with the template.php provided
