I see this often in Adobe SiteCatalyst (Reports and Analytics / Omniture / they've changed the name so many times)
prop6=D=": "+pageName
In the above s_code what does the 'D' do?
(It's difficult to find anything about the above behavior in a standard search)
It's a dynamic variable. Here is some documentation from Adobe:

First of, is there any real documentation of the toolkit ? What I would like is to specify a range of selectable dates. For example I don't want to display dates before today. If the user select a start date of Jan. 27th 2012, I want to allow only dates after these for the return date
Documentation is a little bit sparse for the toolkit - your best bet is to look in the source of the sample app but they don't cover all the scenarios.
The default control doesn't seem to support a minimum or maximum value for the selected date, but if you download the source you should be able to modify it according to your needs. The layout of the source is pretty straightforward and you should be able to find an acceptable place to add the code, the only thing you need to decide is how you handle it from a UI perspective. In my opinion, you are better off handling the range check once the control returns - if it is an invalid date, pop up a message and re-show the control.
I've found that in the absence of documentation, the WindowsPhoneGeek blog (in this specific case see link here) usually does a good job of explaining the Silverlight Toolkit components in their various articles.
These articles can be a great help when following ZombieSheep's advice of taking a look at the toolkit sample code.
I'm wanting to incorporate Google's libphonenumber library into a CRM solution that I'm working on, to identify things such as:
Whether a phone number is mobile or landline
Geo-location of the number
I've done some searching online, and can't seem to find anything discussing what algorithms the library is using to determine this information, and how reliable those methods are.
Is there any such documentation (ie, details of the these algorithms and their respective reliability)? Or really, anything to help me understand what happens under-the-covers for this library?
It's an Open Source library, so you can see exactly how it works :)
svn checkout http://code.google.com/p/libphonenumber/source/checkout
I've had a quick look at the source, and it seems to work by testing the phone number with a series of regular expressions. Big regex files are defined for various countries, which define the regular expressions that will tell you the type of phone number (for example, in the UK, all mobiles start with "07", so there will be a regex based on that).
I tried to optimize Google web fonts query to include basic latin set + some of latin ext characters vital for my native language (Czech).
https://developers.google.com/webfonts/docs/getting_started?hl=cs#Quick_Start
The link above states that I can modify query to include only some characters to make it significantly lighter. So i tried those characters:
aábcčdďeéěfghchiíjklmnňoópqrřsštťuúůvwxyýzžAÁBCČDĎEÉĚFGHChIÍJKLMNŇOÓPQRŘSŠTŤUÚŮVWXYÝZŽ.,?!;/-_:"'|()[]ˇ+*##$%^&¨®°©
And the query looks like this( because all the "unusual" characters have to be html escaped):
http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans:300&%20a%C3%A1bc%C4%8Dd%C4%8Fe%C3%A9%C4%9Bfghchi%C3%ADjklmn%C5%88o%C3%B3pqr%C5%99s%C5%A1t%C5%A5u%C3%BA%C5%AFvwxy%C3%BDz%C5%BEA%C3%81BC%C4%8CD%C4%8EE%C3%89%C4%9AFGHChI%C3%8DJKLMN%C5%87O%C3%93PQR%C5%98S%C5%A0T%C5%A4U%C3%9A%C5%AEVWXY%C3%9DZ%C5%BD.,#$%^&¨®°©
The final result looks like normal and it is only 23KB instead of standard 45KB (with full latin ext charset). The problem is that on some computers, some characters are not properly loaded - they are rendered in Arial( for example "Ě" in word "ODPOVĚDI"). Can anyone help me where could be the problem or how could I trace it next time I see it? Or is it just because this feature is in beta in google web fonts?
This means that the font you are using simple doesn't support your chosen characters. I'm facing this problem and trying to find some solution, but at the moment with no results.
It sounds very much like a beta “feature” (i.e., bug). Generally, beta software is something that you should use only to contribute to testing and improving software in development, so you should report this bug and refrain from using beta software in production.
The bug may relate to different font formats served to different browsers by Google. This may well explain why it works on some browsers and not on others.
The difference between 23KB and 45KB is virtually ignorable these days. A single image often has a greater impact on loading time, and commonly used JavaScript libraries may require hundreds of KB.
You have to choose latin extended option for font to support your langauge character set. There is option to filter available fonts only with latin extended in google fonts site...

I would like to represent data that gives an overview but allows them to drill down in an inline fashion - so if you had a grouping of say 6 objects the user could expand the data and it would show the 6 objects immeadiately below it before any more high level data.
It would appear that MSHFlexgrid gives this ability but I can't find any information about actually using it, or what it's limitations are (can you have differing number of fields and/or can they have different spacing, what about column headers, indentation at for the start, etc).
I found this site, but the images are broken (in ie8 and ff3.5). Google searches show people just using the flat data representation but nothing using the hierarchical properties). Does anyone know any good tutorials or forums with a good discussion about pitfalls?
Due to lack of information about using it, I am thinking of coding my own version but if anyone has done work in this area I haven't found it - I would of thought it would be a natural wish for data representation. If someone has coded a version of this (any language) then I wouldn't mind reading about it - maybe my idea of how to do it wouldn't be the best way.
You might want to check out vbAccelerator. He has a Multi-Column Treeview control that sounds like what you may be looking for. He gives you the source and has some pretty decent samples.
The MSHFlexGrid reference pages and the "using the MSHFlexGrid" topic in the Visual Basic manual?
Sorry if you've already looked at these!
