How to kill a Windows process from the command line with taskkill

         If we have a certain process running on a certain port type, on Windows machines we can force shutdown a process folowing a few steps:

              1.   First, run Command Prompt and write:  netstat –a –o –n

                   2. Then, locate the process and port type you want to shutdown and remember his PID, which is a unique identifier of the process.

            

               For this test, we choose to shutdown Tomcat 6.0 that runs on port 8080.

              3.And the final step, write:  taskkill /F /PID 2052

In this case, 2052 is the unique identifier of the process. We will see a short message like:

           That’s it! Quite simple.

Accessing the <span> tag content from JavaScript

Hi again ! For a recent project, I had to use the power of Javascript to obtain the <span> tag content. The first thing that came to my mind was by using the Javascript innerText property, but this was a bad idea. It seems that IE, Crome and Opera supports the innerText property but Firefox doesn’t. Apparently the proper DOM property to use for Firefox is textContent. The textContent property does the same thing as innerText property, at least as a result.

All said, I’ve obtained this code:

function getInnerText(){

   if (document.getElementById("x").innerText) {

      alert("For IE, Crome and Opera: " + document.getElementById("x").innerText);

   } else {

      if (document.getElementById("x").textContent) {

         alert("For Mozilla Firefox: " + document.getElementById("x").textContent);

      } else {

        alert("Error: This application does not support your browser."

                                         + " Try again using IE or Firefox.");     

      }

   }

}

And the HTML is:  

<span id="x" onclick="getInnerText();">Click me!</span>

Then, a second idea had come to my mind. An idea that works in all major browsers without using the if clause. This idea is based on the innerHTML property:

function getInnerText () {

      alert("For all browsers: " + document.getElementById("x").innerHTML);

}

That’s all. Hope it helps!
