A corresponding cross for &amp;#x2713; `&amp;#x2713;` would be &amp;#x2717; `&amp;#x2717;` I think (Dingbats).

Personally, I like to use named entities when they are available, because they make my HTML more readable. Because of that, I like to use `&amp;check;` for &amp;check; and `&amp;cross;` for &amp;cross;. If you&#39;re not sure whether a named entity exists for the character you want, try the [&amp;what search site][1]. It includes the name for each entity, if there is one.

As mentioned in the comments, `&amp;check;` and `&amp;cross;` are not supported in HTML4, so you may be better off using the more cryptic `&amp;#x2713;` and `&amp;#x2717;` if you want to target the most browsers. The most definitive references I could find were on the W3C site: [HTML4][2] and [HTML5][3].

I have several classes that do not really need any state. From the organizational point of view, I would like to put them into hierarchy.

But it seems I can&#39;t declare inheritance for static classes.

Something like that:

    public static class Base
    {
    }
    
    public static class Inherited : Base
    {
    }

will not work.

Why have the designers of the language closed that possibility?

I need to create a container DIV style that contains multiple other DIV&#39;s. It is asked that these DIV&#39;s wouldn&#39;t wrap if the browser window is resized to be narrow.

I tried to make it work like below.

    &lt;style&gt;
       .container
       {
          min-width: 3000px;
          overflow: hidden;
       }
       .slide
       {
          float: left;
       }
    &lt;/style&gt;
    &lt;div class=&quot;container&quot;&gt;
       &lt;div class=&quot;slide&quot;&gt;something&lt;/div&gt;
       &lt;div class=&quot;slide&quot;&gt;something&lt;/div&gt;
       &lt;div class=&quot;slide&quot;&gt;something&lt;/div&gt;
       &lt;div class=&quot;slide&quot;&gt;something&lt;/div&gt;
    &lt;/div&gt;

This works in most cases. However, in some special cases, the rendering is incorrect. I found the container DIV change to 3000px width in RTL of IE7; and it turns to be messy.

Is there any other way to make a container DIV not to wrap?

I would like to embed HTML inside a PHP if statement, if it&#39;s even possible, because I&#39;m thinking the HTML would appear before the PHP if statement is executed. 

I&#39;m trying to access a table in a database. I created a pulldown menu in HTML that lists all the tables in the database and once I select the table from the pulldown, I hit the submit button. 

I use the isset function to see if the submit button has been pressed and run a loop in PHP to display the contents of the table in the database. So at this point I have the complete table but I want to run some more queries on this table. Hence the reason I&#39;m trying to execute more HTML inside the if statement. Ultimately, I&#39;m trying to either update (1 or more contents in a row or multiple rows) or delete (1 or more rows) contents in the table. What I&#39;m trying to do is create another pulldown that corresponded to a column in a table to make the table search easier and radio buttons that correspond to whether I&#39;d like to update or delete contents in the table. 

Can HTML be embedded inside PHP &quot;if&quot; statement?

[PEP 263][1] defines how to declare Python source code encoding.

Normally, the first 2 lines of a Python file should start with:

    #!/usr/bin/python
    # -*- coding: &lt;encoding name&gt; -*-

But I have seen a lot of files starting with:

    #!/usr/bin/python
    # -*- encoding: &lt;encoding name&gt; -*-

=&gt; **encoding** instead of **coding**.

So what is the correct way of declaring the file encoding?

Is **encoding** permitted because the regex used is lazy? Or is it just another form of declaring the file encoding?

I&#39;m asking this question because the PEP does not talk about **encoding**, it just talks about **coding**.

I need to find the encoding of all files that are placed in a directory. Is there a way to find the encoding used?

The [`file`][1] command is not able to do this.

I&#39;m working on a winapp csproject using Visual Studio 2008 on Vista (Polish locale). The problem appears when I build the project on Win Server 2003 (English locale) - then Polish diacritic is gone. 

I investigated that the issue is caused by improper source file encoding. It looks that source files aren&#39;t using UTF-8 encoding.

I&#39;ve recently had to switch encoding of webapp I&#39;m working on from `ISO-xx` to `utf8`. Everything went smooth, except properties files. I added `-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8` in `eclipse.ini` and normal files work fine. Properties however show some strange behaviour.

If I copy `utf8` encoded properties from Notepad++ and paste them in Eclipse, they show and work fine. When I reopen properties file, I see some Unicode characters instead of proper ones, like:

    Zur\u00EF\u00BF\u00BDck instead of Zur&#252;ck

but app still works fine.
If I start to edit properties, add some special characters and save, they display correctly, however they don&#39;t work and all previously working special characters don&#39;t work any more. 

When I compare local version with CVS I can see special characters correctly on remote file and after update I&#39;m at start again: app works, but Eclipse displays Unicode chars.

I tried changing file encoding by right clicking it and selecting „Other: UTF8” but it didn&#39;t help. It also said: „determined from content: ISO-8859-1”

I&#39;m using Java 6 and Jboss Developer based on Eclipse 3.3

I can live with it by editing properties in Notepad++ and pasting them in Eclipse, but I would be grateful if someone could help me with fixing this in Eclipse.

First I change Windows CMD encoding to utf-8 and run Python interpreter:

    chcp 65001
    python

Then I try to print a unicode sting inside it and when i do this Python crashes in a peculiar way (I just get a cmd prompt in the same window). 

    &gt;&gt;&gt; import sys
    &gt;&gt;&gt; print u&#39;&#235;&#232;&#230;&#238;&#240;&#39;.encode(sys.stdin.encoding)

Any ideas why it happens and how to make it work?

&lt;b&gt;UPD&lt;/b&gt;: `sys.stdin.encoding` returns `&#39;cp65001&#39;`

&lt;b&gt;UPD2&lt;/b&gt;: It just came to me that the issue might be connected with the fact that utf-8 uses [multi-byte character set](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multi-byte_character_set) (kcwu made a good point on that). I tried running the whole example with &#39;windows-1250&#39; and got &#39;&#235;ea&#238;?&#39;. Windows-1250 uses single-character set so it worked for those characters it understands. However I still have no idea how to make &#39;utf-8&#39; work here.

&lt;b&gt;UPD3&lt;/b&gt;: Oh, I found out it is a [known Python bug](http://bugs.python.org/issue1602). I guess what happens is that Python copies the cmd encoding as &#39;cp65001 to sys.stdin.encoding and tries to apply it to all the input. Since it fails to understand &#39;cp65001&#39; it crashes on any input that contains non-ascii characters.

Scala has symbols - names that start with a single quote &#39; and which are a kind of string constants.

I know symbols from Ruby (where they start with a colon). In Ruby they are used for some meta-programming tasks, like generating getters and setters for member variables (for example `attr_reader :name` to generate a getter for `name`).

I haven&#39;t seen a lot of use of symbols in Scala code yet. What are practical uses for symbols in Scala?

I wonder what is the difference between these two:

- `gcc -s`: Remove all symbol table and relocation information from the executable.

- `strip`:  Discard symbols from object files.

### Do they have the same meaning? 

### Which one do you use to: 

- reduce the size of executable? 
- speed up its running?

I have the following:

    var newText = magicFunction(text);
    ...
    newText = &quot;&amp;Uuml;bergro&amp;szlig;e &amp;Auml;pfel mit W&amp;uuml;rmern&quot;;

The function should **not only** escape the letters of this example [but also all of these.][1]

How would you achieve that? Is there any existing function out there? (Plain, because a solution without a framework is preferred)

I understand the concept behind DI, but I&#39;m just learning what different IoC containers can do.  It seems that most people advocate using IoC containers to wire up stateless services, but what about using them for stateful objects like entities?

Whether it&#39;s right or wrong, I normally stuff my entities with behavior, even if that behavior requires an outside class.  Example:

    public class Order : IOrder
    {

        private string _ShipAddress;
        private IShipQuoter _ShipQuoter;

        public Order(IOrderData OrderData, IShipQuoter ShipQuoter)
        {
            // OrderData comes from a repository and has the data needed 
            // to construct order
            _ShipAddress = OrderData.ShipAddress;  // etc.
            _ShipQuoter = ShipQuoter;
            
        }

        private decimal GetShippingRate()
        {
            return _ShipQuoter.GetRate(this);
        }
    }

As you can see, the dependencies are Constructor Injected. Now for a couple of questions.

1. Is it considered bad practice to have your entities depend on outside classes such as the ShipQuoter?  Eliminating these dependencies seems to lead me towards an anemic domain, if I understand the definition correctly.

2. Is it bad practice to use an IoC container to resolve these dependencies and construct an entity when needed?  Is it possible to do this?

Thanks for any insight.
