'importfromweb' addon to scratch data from StockX - google-apps-script

I have added 'importfromweb' addon to scratch data from StockX. Unfortunately I faced with some issues and I don't really know how to solve this issue. If you look at the picture, you may see two links from StockX website with sneakers. You may also see Xpath copied from those two links insdicating to the price of the shoe above. Unfortunately the first shows an Error and I dont know why.
The arguments of the function are placed correcty

I have tried to search the reasons from the internet but I did not find anything about how to solve this problem

VS Code - HTML - Emmett Intellisense doesn't seem to be working as expected

I'm attempting to learn web development, and I'm taking an online course from udemy. I am still in the html coding stage and I don't get the correct attributes auto suggested when I type in "form" (without the quotes). I get this:
When the instructor does it, this is the result:
I'm certain I used to get the result the instructor got, but I don't now. I rolled back to version 1.33 of VS Code but that didn't help.
Any suggestions? I appreciate any and all help you can provide but please don't assume I can navigate to whatever setting needs to be changed Please provide the full path to allow me to get there! Thanks again.
So I just downloaded and installed Atom. When you type form and hit tab you get three attributes: class, action and method. I wonder why the defaults are different between the two editors. I prefer VS Code just for the visual appearance of it, and it seems to be the one everyone uses, but why the difference and is there a way to make them the same?

Starting off with Mozilla development/contribution to Fennec

This is the first time I am trying to contribute to Mozilla. I went through several articles and documentation/resources to get a hang of what could be the best first steps to get started. I started off from this page http://whatcanidoformozilla.org1 and chose to start off with Java.
On initial tinkering I was taken to https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Get_Involved and eventually https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Fennec/Android/Suggested_workflow resource suggested that the best way to get started with it would be to pick up some simple bug and propose a patch for it.
So then I went to http://www.joshmatthews.net/bugsahoy/?java=1&simple=1 and this specific bug drew my attention. The description of the bug mentioned this :
There are some methods that we share (or can share) across our DB
implementations, like appending PARAM_SHOW_DELETED, PARAM_LIMIT, or
PARAM_PROFILE.
These are currently spread across LocalBrowserDB, TabsAccessor,
URLMetadata, and so on. It'd be nice to clean these up.
Question 1. Now how do I get some more context on what exactly is the bug and what is required to be done ?
As of now there seems to be 2 patches already submitted from what I understood (and please correct if my understanding is wrong here). So to get some context about the bug I went ahead and opened up the first patch submitted here.
It gave me some idea as to at least where exactly is the code itself that needs to be fixed. And I found it here
Question 2. Am I on the right track on how to figure out the code that needs to be fixed ?
Question 3. Even after reaching the DBUtils.java file I could not find any documentation about what the class basically does, or where does it fit into the whole picture. Could someone please help me with this, as to how do I figure out what a class is supposed to be doing etc. or at least some documentation around it?
You're on the right path. Basically, the What Can I Do For Mozilla website is a quick and easy way to let you discover projects you might be interested in, so it's the first gateway to the coding contributions.
That said, you did good in picking a bug to start off. However, as you saw the bug was already being worked on by somebody else (marked as Assigned). Your best bet is to find some new "good first bug" to work on. This might be a complicated task, as Bug's Ahoy shows only a few not owned good first bugs.
You should try to get in touch with the Fennec team, either via email or IRC (the latter for quicker responses).
Now, to answer your questions, in a more general way
Question 1. Now how do I get some more context on what exactly is the
bug and what is required to be done ?
Usually, this should be described in the first comment in the bug, on Bugzilla. If that's not the case, feel free to drop a message there and ask for more directions. You can also flag the reporter or the mentor of the bug using the needinfo functionality, as they are usually better shown.
As you can see, somebody asked for more info in comment 1 and some new directions were given.
In general, you won't find a patch with code on the bug itself, but you might find links to files and more precise directions on what to change and how. If not, again, feel free to ping the reporter and/or mentor.
Question 2. Am I on the right track on how to figure out the code that
needs to be fixed ?
You're on the right path. In general, if there are no links to files or DXR on the bug, but some code is mentioned, you can look it up using DXR, as you did.
Question 3. Even after reaching the DBUtils.java file I could not find
any documentation about what the class basically does, or where does
it fit into the whole picture. Could someone please help me with this,
as to how do I figure out what a class is supposed to be doing etc. or
at least some documentation around it?
What I usually do when navigating the Firefox code and need some more background on a not so well documented class, is browse the change log for that file, clicking on the Log button in the top-right panel on DXR (when displaying the file). It will show you a list of bugs that affected the file. You can even trace back the original file that implemented it, to get more context.
On the other hand, if you're only interested to the history of a single line of code within a file, then the blame tool is your friend. It tells you who last touched the line, the changeset and the related bug number. That is also accessible from where you can find the Log, here.
In the case of DBUtils.java, however, it looks like the class just holds some utility functions for database access.
To see how something is being used within the Firefox codebase, you can still use DXR. Here's a sample search for the DBUtils object.

Changing the title on a Microsoft Access based form

I've been playing with an order tracking system which was created by one of an ex-employee. Well, nothing major but just a simplified system. I manage to find most of the things re-linking to new database, editing layout... etc. However, what I am struggling to understand is as seen below;
As seen on the image test 1 is the actual access file I have copied and made most of the changes to reflect test 2. However, as circled in red above (where test 1 is shown), is what I'm trying to find and edit. I'm not sure whether I'm searching correct terms but it seems I couldn't find any relative queries to fix this issue. Any advise will be a great help!

Hyperlinks (to Sharepoint) in MS-Access tables not behaving as expected

Hello StackOverflow community,
I've just started having an issue with hyperlinks stored within an MS-Access table not behaving as expected.
I have a small database which, among other things, records links to documents hosted on a company Sharepoint site. Until a few days ago, all was working fine with both the database and the hyperlinks.
For some reason, within the last few days, whenever I (or any of my users) click on these hyperlinks through an Access form (or me clicking directly from the tables), I am getting strange behavior:
Clicking the link does open a new instance of the default browser, as desired. And that browser does navigate to the company Sharepoint site. But none of the links actually open the specific document that they are intended to point to.
Instead, all links are bringing up a general file/folder menu within the Sharepoint site. It is almost as if these links point to a non-existent file within an existing folder.
The very strange part is, if I "edit" any of the hyperlinks in my database, and simply select and copy the "address" text from within the edit hyperlink window, I will always immediately pull up the correct desired document if just paste the address directly into a new browser window.
I would have thought that this type of cutting/pasting would necessarily be equivalent to simply clicking the link. But that is obviously not the case.
I feel like I can safely rule out the possibility that any changes to the Sharepoint site itself would be causing my issue with simply clicking the links (otherwise cutting/pasting the addresses would not bring up the correct documents), but I have to admit I am simply stumped as to why just clicking the hyperlinks directly used to work, but no longer does.
I don't believe there is any code or other relevant information that might be helpful that I am neglecting to include, but would be eager to provide any clarifications/etc if anyone has any idea as to what might be happening here.
Thanks in advance for any thoughts or suggestions!

EDIT: I had deleted this question because the issue described above had simply stopped happening. I was unable to explain why, but was also unable to reproduce the issue again after a certain point within a day or two of making the original post.
Since then, the issue has returned. I've been able determine the following:
As described in my note below, when I am getting this odd link behavior, I do NOT get the standard warning from MS-Access indicating that hyperlinks may be harmful, etc.
Strangely, simply opening up a file dialog/file picker and then navigating through that dialog to any location on the (sync'ed) Sharepoint site seems to make the problem go away. I do not need to actually select or open any location on Sharepoint, simply navigating within the sync'ed folder structure seems to do the trick.
Once this happens, all links behave as intended again (ie. they open the correct linked file directly instead of landing on the root folder page). They MS-Access hyperlink warning returns as well. The file/link behavior will remain in that state for several days. Only after, I'd estimate, a week or more of inactivity since the file dialog was last run will the issue return.
FURTHER EDIT: New update...Enough time has passed so that the issue is recurring again. As suspected, links to pages outside of Sharepoint are not affected, and open as expected without issue. Once again, the standard Microsoft hyperlink warning dialog is not coming up for any links.
Obviously, now that I've found the work-around with the file dialog, it's easy enough for me to fix the issue when it arises. I'm hoping that this rings a bell with somebody, though, and perhaps one of you could point me in the right direction for a more complete fix for my users.
Thanks again for any help with this!
YET ANOTHER EDIT: Ok....based upon all the things I've learned in the last couple of weeks (as captured in this post and the comments below), I was about to delete this question and re-post it as "Why is Sharepoint redirecting my URL requests from MS-Access?" As I tried to search the forum to make sure that that question hasnt already been asked, I stumbled across some info that I think gets at the underlying issue:
It looks like this is related to the (very opaque) way that Office processes URL requests. It apparently doesn't simply open the document at the specified link, it first "pre-tests" (I suppose that's the right word) the URL by sending a "Microsoft Office Protocol Discovery" request first.
Apparently, it is possible for Sharepoint to somehow not like the particulars of that MOPD request, and if that happens, then Sharepoint redirects to the file directory page -- and that directory page ends up being opened in the browser instead of the intended link/document.
Again, this only happens sometimes and not others. When it does happen, I've found a clumsy workaround that will correct the issue for about a week or so. I can't reproduce the issue during that week, I just have to wait for the workaround to expire (I obviously don't fully understand why my clumsy workaround works).
It doesn't seem possible to manipulate the particulars of the MOPD request. If possible, I'd love to be able to dispense with MOPD entirely, since I want all the files I'm linking to via Access to be opened as read-only anyway. Unfortunately, I don't think that that is possible either.
I've found some info on this in another SO thread HERE. I still am not quite at the point where I feel I'm ready to submit an answer to this question, but I have some ideas as to what sorts of things may function as an acceptable workaround.
It would be helpful if anyone had any ideas as to how I might be able to reproduce the issue on demand, rather than simply waiting another week for whatever keys/cookies/settings/etc to expire again. I'd need to implement any possible solutions entirely on the Access side of things if possible, rather than on the Sharepoint/server side. Thanks again for any suggestions!
I'm posting this as an answer now, but will avoid accepting it until I've had a chance to verify that it actually works.
I am inserting some code that will run on DB startup. It will open a (an invisible) form that has an Access WebBrowser control included. I'll have that control navigate to a specific file on the Sharepoint site. I believe that it is actually this action that somehow causes the link problems to resolve for a week of so.
This form will run silently in the background, navigate to the sharepoint file location, and then close. This should hopefully refresh whatever characteristics of the MODP request that are present when the links work properly (and are absent while they aren't working properly).
In essence, I'm hoping this approach will have the effect of resetting my (approximately) one week window of desired link functionality to start anew each time the database is opened. In other words, I'm thinking that this will work, although I still don't fully understand why.
Wish me luck!
;)

View Source Information for Dynamic Tables

I have a vb.net web project that contains some dynamically filled tables. I recently changed how this data is calculated, and now it is not being displayed properly. There are many web tables being nested inside of each other, and I suspect that I messed up something with how those tables are being nested. I'm still quite new to web development, so I'm having some trouble tracking down where the issue is originating from.
I've learned that I can view the source code for my webpage while I'm debugging it in a browser by right clicking in the browser and selecting something like 'View Page Source'. This is very helpful for visualizing how various tables are nested inside each other, and has helped me fix a couple issues already. However, I've noticed that the dynamically created content doesn't seem to appear in this source anywhere.
For example, if I make a web table that loads usernames from a sql table and displays them, searching for a given username in the source will return 0 matches, even if I can see that username on the screen in the debug session I'm currently running.
A couple questions:
Why does my dynamic data not show up in the source?
Is there a way I can make it show up?
If not, what other ways are there to examine how the different tables are nested at runtime after I've filled my tables with data?
UPDATE:
I did some more research, and it looks like any code that is run on the server isn't visible in that piece of source that I mentioned above. I do have runat="server" set for my table, so maybe this answers my first question. I'm still lost on the other two though - and those are probably the more important questions in terms of helping me fix my problem I'm having.
Look into using a devloper console in your browser. Chrome's is good - just right-click a control on the page and 'inspect element' or press F12 and use the magnifying glass at the top left of the console to select the area of interest. Firefox also has one, and I think modern versions of IE do too. Makes it a lot easier to investigate styling, contents, etc. and may help you locate your usernames. If they're on the page then they'll definitely be in some source code somewhere, just possibly not in an obvious place.
