Question...

-

There was a question related to <datalist> regarding HTML 5.

 Question: Is it necessary to have <input> tag for <datalist> usage or The search bar in the output is due to the <input> tag?

 Answer: Yes, the <input> tag is a must before <datalist> tag, this is because if you don't use <input> tag, then there will be no data list in the output.

 Reference code: (WITHOUT INPUT TAG)

 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html><head><title></title></head>
<body>
<form action="" method="">
<datalist id="list">
<option value="a">
<option value="b">
<option value="c">
<option value="d">
</datalist>
</form>
</body>
</html>


Output:
Nothing in the output _ blank
Do you see anything in the output ? No, right?

Now let us put input tag, like this:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html><head><title></title></head>
<body>
<form >
<input list="list">
<datalist id="list">
<option value="a">
<option value="b">
<option value="c">
<option value="d">
</datalist>
</form>
</body>
</html>




Now the output:










when you click the arrow, you will get something like:

He is the Author of book like  (C++) ++سی/سی ,  Bit Coin Block Chain aur Crypto Currency بٹ کوائن، بلاک چین اور کرپٹو کرنسی  and many other, you can visit them here .   Today "Mainly: The Software Engineering Blog" asked him some of the questions, as an interview and we are very glad that he gave his precious time to answer them.   It was kinda "Remote Interview"... not the traditional one..         The Interview  Question:  How can you describe " Dr. Zeeshan ul Hassan Usmani " ?  ANSWER:  I am a shameless idealist.

Web Technologies e.g. SASS, LESS and Doctrine

   Web technologies, as the name indicates are the technology used over the world wide web. These technologies help the users to communicate with each other. You may have learned in your social sciences subject that Language is the main source of communication. Similarly when computers communicate, they also use certain specific language or languages for this.    As we all know HTML is the hypertext markup language. It is the core of web technologies. Then comes JavaScript, React, Angular, Ruby, CSS and so on.    Everyone likes beauty. CSS adds beauty to your page. But you need to write a lot of code for minute things in the style sheet. So to make the task of web developers convenient, Henry Thorton  with  Natalie Weizenbaum   designed and developed SASS  (Syntactically Awesome Style Sheets) respectively. SASS is the style sheet language written in PHP. It is an extension to CSS and .css file can be converted to .sccs file. SASS is backward compatible meaning, it is compatible with al

    Before digging into E-commerce platforms, let's first understand what an E-commerce  actually is?   E-Commerce...   According to the Tokenization Rule , E-commerce is the combination of "E" and "Commerce".  The word Commerce  means trade or buying and selling of items, goods, services, hardwares and, softwares... etc. And " E " stands for "Electronic", electronic  means something like electricity, like signals, like something in the form of electrons (at lower level).           Image Source    So, the word " E-COMMERCE " means:    " A type of trade, that is done using electronic devices (computer, mobile or ATM machines etc). "       And to achieve electronic commerce, what's the most important thing? think over it!    Yeah that's correct! your own Internet is the most important thing to do E-commerce.      Major areas of E-commerce are:    On-line shopping or retailing  On-line bidding or auction  On-line soft

1-Machine Learning : Start...

   John went to the cafeteria 10 times at 1:00 P.M. on 10 Fridays, each time the cafeteria was closed at that particular time. John decided not to go to cafe at 1:00 P.M. on Friday because the cafe will be closed.    But wait! How did John know that the cafe will  also be closed on next Friday at 1:00 P.M.???   Yes, you are absolutely right.    "John Learned from his Experience that the Task of going to the cafeteria at 1:00 P.M. on Fridays resulted in waste of time, since the cafe was closed on each Friday, so it will Perform the same on the next Friday."   In the above scenario, John learned something so we can call it " John Learning ".   Similarly, if we replace John with some sort of Machine, that can learn from the Experience or from the History about how the tasks were performed in the past given certain situation. Such that the Machine will perform the same if the same task happen again in near future. Then this will be called as Machine Learning.     To mak

    Linear Algebra is one of the most important courses in software engineering. But, sometimes you feel like its not so linear, rather non-linear. So, if your linear algebra is dangling then don't worry because I have something for you.   MIT offers open courses, these courses are taught by the most prominent and amazing Teachers. MIT made a series of videos covering Linear Algebra. Respected Professor Gilbert Strang taught this course. You can find it here .   Now, you certainly need some book regarding this very subject, my honorable Professor gave some notes to my class, these are below: you can download them:           You can also get the following Linear Algebra book:             So enjoy, with the  Solution Manual  too :)

Marketing

   I am of the opinion that everyone of us must acquire marketing skill.      Why Should We?   This is because, as the world population is increasing, there is a demand for more. If we have certain talent, skill, or if we are capable of doing some task. Then, we can see there are others, who can do the same task. But, our opinion is that : We are the best in our work. So, how can we tell this to the person who needs our services? We need to devise a marketing policy, so that we and the other person gets benefit from it.     Robert T. Kiyosaki  describes in his book : " Rich Dad Poor Dad " that,  McDonald's  is a brand that sells ham burgers. Their ham burgers might not be the best, but they might believe them to be. Like wisely we can also make burgers, and there is a huge possibility that our burgers are the most delicious ones, but we are unable to sell it like McDonald's. Why? The answer is their marketing policy! ( ya, along with other aspects too )     Moreover,

   Data is a new oil. To channelize this data we need proper pipelines. These pipelines are mostly called ETL or data pipelines.  There are various tools out there to work out these Extract, Transform, and Load (ETL) operations.  Some of the scripting tools are:  - Python - SQL and NoSQL Apache provides a wide range of products that can be used as Data Engineering tools.  Some of the amazing apache DE services comprised of; - Hadoop - Spark - Kafka - Cassandra - Hive In addition, some cool DE tools are: - Tableau - Talend - MapReduce These DE tools provide a way to manage the data pipelines in a more effective, efficient, and better way.  Almost every Data-Oriented company in the corporate sector is highly dependent upon these technologies. They are leveraging many of the above-mentioned mechanisms for promising Data Services and Architecture. That's it for today. Hope you have enjoyed this article.
