Q: Image not downloading when converting from HTML to MS-Word using jQuery

Santhosh KumarI'm trying to convert a HTML file to Word document using some jquery plugins. It works fine when the content has text. But i have some images to get downloaded into the word document. When i add the image link into the html and click on download it doesn't get downloaded. Check this in Fiddle ...

"Links to JSFiddle must be accompanied by code."

*Got it! I'll just use code formatting for the word jQuery!*
 
Actually it may very well be ...
 
5:07 PM
^ can anyone see that image?
All I see is 'image not found'.
 
I can if I click on it, but not inline.
 
... okay.
Someone upload a random photo to i.stack.imgur.
 
Looks like it was a temporary glitch?

Question: Can one award a bounty on a community wiki answer?
 
@Unihedron I don't think so, since by making a post a CW, you're revoking ownership of it.
 
@AstroCB Got it, thanks!
 
@AstroCB need one more close vote.
 
Any regex experts around?
 
Yeah?
 
5:51 PM
I need to match a ; at the end of a line.
 
Line or entire string?
 
Just a line.
 
/;$/m change / to separators of your flavour (r';$'m in python)

A: An explicit value for the identity column in table can only be specified when a column list is used and IDENTITY_INSERT is ON SQL Server

Brookstry insert into tbl select tbl2.* from tbl2 meaning the table after select has to keep the table designation followed by the .* should keep you from having to type them all out. thx Brooks

 
Thanks

@AnnaLear any delete vote there ?
 
no
 
oh, please delete it if you can.
 
6:07 PM
There should be a way to flag answers that don't answer the question, but aren't NAA.
3
 
^^^^^^^
 
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
 
Maybe "Not Acceptable Answer"?
 
something like "Unihedron, we... doesn't accept these crap answers" :p :D
 
@bjb568 wait, what? that's the definition of NAA.
 
6:20 PM
@AnnaLear No, that's absolutely not the definition of NAA, and if you try to flag an answer as NAA that needs the question to prove that it's NAA, you're flag will be declined. NAA is an answer that is obviously not an answer, so obvious that a non-programer can figure it out without the context of the question, for example "I like cows".
 
^ That - it means "not an answer" not in "not an answer" as in helpful and contribute to the context.
 
It's not impossible to tell a completely irrelevant (as in "apples and oranges" type of answer even if it has code, etc. We sure don't make it easy to do so with the current flag handling interface, but those are still NAAs. If you're talking more about "by the way, here's some side info" type of non-answers that are still at least relevant to the question, then... well, whether or not they should be flagged at all is debatable.
 
@bjb568 'other'
 
But if you feel compelled to do so, yes, "other" is the way to go. Lets you leave a note and prompt a mod to look closer.
 
@AnnaLear If a c# answer is on a java question, how are you supposed to tell? All the flagging help and meta and experience say to only flag NAA if it's extremely obvious, still, NAA gets declined 10% of the time for seemingly no reason.
 
6:26 PM
@bjb568 "Other" is your friend. Although honestly, I'd just downvote and keep going in that scenario.
 
How does this have an accepted answer?... stackoverflow.com/questions/25249244/…
Can we NAA it? (It's a comment if not for the code)
 
I just did.
 
@AnnaLear Other… isn't my friend.
 
@Unihedron of course mod will decline it
 
Can accepted answers not be deleted?
 
6:28 PM
they will write we don't see technical issues in answers. don't flag for technical inaccuracies ...
 
@AstroCB Only by mods.
@Unihedron Looks like VLQ… or something… whatever, flagged as VLQ.
 
@TGMCians It's not a technical inaccuracy if the answer is another question.
 
I added a comment, I hope it makes the flag clearer
 
@Unihedron Y U NO AUTOCOMMENT?
 
I'm not a robot... yet :P
You forgot the "Once you have enough rep" part for added coolness :)
 
6:36 PM
@Unihedron Only for <50 rep users…
 
... stappit @Anna! Getting 'this question is already closed' when trying to cast a close vote isn't fun! :P

@hichris123 sorry not sorry :)

I understand :) No worries!

arg! Stop upvoting bob's answer and upvote mine! GRRR!
 
That question doesn't deserve 3 downvotes: I think it was because of the grammar/formatting, which I fixed.
 
Free obsolete comment flags on Astro's post! :D
 
"Thank you for reviewing 20 low quality posts today; come back in 5 hours to continue reviewing." Not fair, the mods are going parading thru "Looks Good"ing everything… >:(

@Unihedron Hooray!
@bjb568 Are mods audited?
 
@AstroCB I hope they are...
 
@animuson hia animuson
 
@animuson Do mods get review-banned?
 
I don't know if the system excludes them or not, but they can easily unban themselves if it happened.
 
Gone.

That guy who just did. :P

Crosses fingers this bug doesn't make it into the release version.Jarrod Dixon ♦ 2 hours ago
 
Aren't "declined" bugs usually , not ?
 
best comment... EVAR!
 
@AstroCB Feature requests are declined. Bugs are by design.
 
8:56 PM
That's what I thought.
 
Declined is used for bugs that they realize are bugs but they're just not going to fix.
 
@animuson unless bug makes into release >:)

@animuson Why did only 2 of my the posts I downvoted get deleted today, step up your game!
 
@Braiam "our scope goes beyond mere moderation" - Except on PCG, where the name should be changed to something that shows their scope doesn't quite even extend to "moderation" in the first place. I'm talking to you @ChrisJester-Young.

Q: Purpose of [msdn] tag

You can't burninate sponsored tags, right?

Why do I even use IM anymore? Looking through my contact list I just see a bunch of "Last seen 4 months ago" - "Last seen 5 months ago" - "Last seen 1 month ago" - "Last seen unknown"
 
@animuson Because we're clinging desperately to an artifact that reminds us of a time when there was still a minimal amount of sanity left on the internet?
 
What genre would you guys describe this as?

A: Tutorial For OpenIAB for unity

pixxemI just wrote a tutorial for Google android: https://github.com/onepf/OpenIAB-Unity-Plugin/wiki/How%20to%20use%20OpenIAB-Unity-Plugin%20with%20Google%20Play Hope that helps :)

This is precisely why opinion-based/off-site request questions are not allowed.
 
Oh, duh. :-P Instead of scanning the entire front page for these kinds of posts, I'll just search for "tutorial" and such.
 
@hichris123 did you VtC the question? if not...
 
10:02 PM
@hichris123 And yet he keeps "Hope that helps :)"
 
@Braiam Yeah, I have the only VTC on it.

Q: First lesson android 1

user3912767This is the first tutorial on using OpenGL ES 2 on Android. In this lesson, we’re going to go over the code step-by-step, and look at how to create an OpenGL ES 2 context and draw to the screen.

I found this question and thought: Oh, it's not asking for a tutorial; it's just asking about creating a tutorial. Maybe it'll be an okay question. I was sadly mistaken.

Q: iOS frameworks for apps like snapchat

chanpkrI'm wondering what skills it's required to make apps like snapchat on iOS. I have an app idea that requires you to make an account (or connect to facebook) and send data (video, msg, etc) between friends. What frameworks do you have to know for this sort of application?

 
@AstroCB Technically, it's asking about a toturial.
 
Thanks to that SEDE query, I've used all of my daily flags for the first time ever. Someone else can feel free to take over now.

@animuson crap
 
@bjb568 Your remark that a perfect authentic cadence would cease to be perfect in case the final chord would be in first inversion is correct. But that does not dismiss or change the validity of my statement that the 1st inversion does not change the function (tonic, subdominant or dominant) of the chord. Also there is nothing in my answer that contradicts your remark that a 2nd inversion tonic chord can have dominant function. So that's 2 straw men in one comment.

@bjb568 Well, a) you're just puking them onto the page here (and barely any will be closed via that), and b) you're out of close votes, so you're not casting them on those.
