Not quite JavaScript related but a Server 2003 error that may happen to some of my readers.

The wizard could not successfully configure this user account.  The following could not be completed:

• A home folder could not be created for this user.
• Quota information could not be set.

From: Home Folder at Microsoft Support

Folder Name	Users Shared Folders
Share Name	Users
Description	Users Shared Folders

User/Group	Full Control	Change	Read
Domain Admins	Allow	Allow	Allow
Domain Users	Allow	Allow	Allow
SBS Folder Operators	Allow	Allow	Allow

By setting these permissions, I was able to then successfully create a user.  The server with this issue moved the “Users Shared Folders” to a partition with more space.

Tips for Installing Windows 7 in a Dual Boot with XP:

Before you Install for a Dual Boot, Backup your XP boot drive just to be safe.  I used Acronis True Image and Created a Recovery Boot CD.

The XP installation is on my C: drive.  I already had a 2nd partition on my drive where I will install Windows 7.  In “My Computer” I labeled the 2nd partition “Win7″.  If you have a 2nd Drive that will also work or you can use partitioning software like Partition Magic to resize a large drive to have 2 smaller partitions.  Make sure the partition is formated as NTFS.  After cleaning off my 2nd partition I make sure the XP install is not using the 2nd partition for Virtual Memory. — Dual Boot Windows 7

I develop Intranet apps with IE as the supported browser, so how other browsers are effected are unknown. I had an app that displays 1000+ lines on a single page and each line had an inline function “myfunction(’valueID’)” and would render to the page much slower than the actual querry would take to return the data. At first we thought there was just a lot of data and it just took time to render.
Example 1: <img src=”img.gif” mce_src=”img.gif” onclick=”myfunction(’456-12′)”>

Recently we found that if we put the “valueID” in an attribute and referenced it through this.attrName it display much faster.
Example 2: <img src=”img.gif” mce_src=”img.gif” onclick=”myfunction(this.valueID)” valueID=”456-12″>

One of the pages with “ALL” results, returned over 5000 records. This page went from a nearly 2 minute query-load-display time down to a 25-30 second time to display.

I just could NOT have imagined that it would have made such a significant difference. Further testing revealed that if the variable remained constant in the functions it was also very fast, but when they were all unique it slowed down again.  

We concluded: (atleast in IE) The browser has to allocate memory for the variables in the functions as it tries to display the page, but not for the attributes. also posted on Webmaster World : Interesting find: myfunction(’value’) vs myfunction(this.myval)

If you need a “Wait” or “Loading” icon to help your visitors know there is more info about to be displayed on your page and you are not skilled at creating those little spinning icons, you need AjaxLoad.info.

They have a simple interface and multiple image options (some with BIG options) to select from.  The nice thing about the site is that they have an options for Transparent Backgrount, Background Color and Foreground Color.  After selections are made, press the “Generate” button to create your image.  If you are happy with the choices you made, then you can download the image.

P.S. I also found a review of the site here (Chaos Labratory.com – Ajax Loading Icons)
