The typical address block on a form contains two fields for address:  Address ------------------------------- |                             | -------------------------------  Address Line 2 ------------------------------- |                             | -------------------------------  City ------------------------------- |                             | -------------------------------  State ------------------------------- |                             | -------------------------------  ZIP ------------------------------- |                             | -------------------------------   Are two lines for the address really necessary? I've never personally had a use for the second line and, at best, it's an empty field, and, at worst, it screws up my browser's form auto-fill settings. I did an informal office survey and heard the same from others--that they've never needed it.   Are there real world scenarios where it's needed?  I understand that it's often seen as an apartment field, but even that can be written as one line (and something I've done in the past):     1234 5th Avenue North, Apt 45   Is this just an old habit/anti-pattern that we should consider breaking?

Experience and a quick Google Images search suggests that it's standard to provide two fields for Address/Street. A colleague argues that it's perceived as two alternative addresses, and that the fact that there's only one country, state, zip, phone just makes it more confusing. I tried to think of a good explanation for having two fields but couldn't. To the reason of "there are some very long addresses" he replies "then why don't they use a multiline input field which would make it clearer that it's the same address".  So, what's the reason? And is it only standard for the US or for Europe as well?

I got this odd comment to one of my answer earlier today:     How about showing how this would be applied to OP's question.   My answer (deleted since) was:     Try to split the string and use a range type to build the array: (1..10).to_a   The question was about building a list of IPs given two end points:    Speaking personally, I'd rate my own answer as good enough, since it would have been more than enough to get me googling in the right direction. Admittedly, a better answer eventually creeped in -- it would have gotten my vote and acceptance.  Question for meta, though: is this type of answer (which can occasionally be long) valid, or not? More examples of the same type of hint-only answer:      My issue with getting comments that amount to "show working code" is that it reduces StackOverflow to a crowd-sourcing site. IMO, OP should get the same type of answer as he'd get from a busy colleague, e.g "try this direction, should yield something" rather than a deliverable.

If all fields in a form are required should they be marked somehow (eg. with an asterisk)?  I see this done a lot and find it redundant?  There could be a difference in big forms and small forms, but in big ones I would add a note at the top that all fields are required, but I wouldn't necessarily do that on small ones.  What do you think is the right approach?

For documents with a lot of footnotes, particularly if some are short, it can be nice to have multiple on the same line, e.g.:        this is the first footnote 2. this is the second footnote 3. this   if the third footnote 4. finally, we begin to wrap around.      Rather than having it:        First footnote   Second footnote   Etc.      Is there a way to achieve this in LaTeX?  (This is not a duplicate of  because I'm asking about regular full page environment.)

I'm building a very small app that allows my users to post content to a map.  The home screen of the app contains a map with all of the posts (as seen below).  PROBLEMS  01 - if a user posts a post from the same area, two pins will be on top of each other so you won't be able to access one of them  02 - if a lot of content is posted it will be hard to click on each pin  03 - when you zoom all the way out, there will be too many pins  Can anyone recommend trying anything else please?

Besides Zillow's creative-commons licensed  shapefiles, what sources of neighborhood boundaries are there? Not just in the US, but all over the world.  Free/open source is ideal, but paid sources could be interesting too.

starts with      I know that this isn't the first post with this problem, but I am   stuck with this for a day (total, not 1 day in a row). Somehow I can't   get this to work, maybe it is just 1 little adjustment that I need to   make, but I can't seem to find it :(   I'm sure the question , both for immediate answering and for people later having the same kind of problem.  But I'm afraid removing it might be considered rude by the asker as he might see the question with the introduction both more humble and more accorded to his personal writing style (especially in a case where the code follows immediately after this introduction).  Should I proceed and remove this lengthy useless introduction or just not bother ?

I have a spreadsheet full of addresses to geocode in ArcMap 10.  I've added the spreadsheet to the map, then started to geocode them via the context menu's "Geocode addresses" item.  Many were matched automatically, and most of the unmatched I've been able to resolve within the Interactive Rematch dialog. But I have a handful of addresses where I get no result at all.  I can, however, locate these points on Google Maps, and I can get the latitude and longitude that way.  How can I enter that data into the table to locate the missing points?  I have tried editing the data and putting the lat/lon values into the X and Y columns, (via Edit Features -> Start Editing, then Open Attribute Table on the context menu).  But when I Flash the point, I don't see it.  The lat &amp; lon are consistent with the other data points on the map (i.e., not swapped, and using the correct sign).  How can I add the points to the table?

On Careers I thought it wold be nice to be able to filter by , possibly multiple, in additional to location.  Nothing fancy, but something like ....        The image of tags is stolen from the SO side to convey the idea. I suspect functionality on the Careers side would need to be a bit different.  Recent tags would likely make sense.  Favorite tags, particularly the more specific ones might not (e.g., a job posting for , ).  Anyway, the image is just to give a sense of the idea.

I would like to configure 2 MX records :  - One MX record that identifies an email server to the domain @mycompany.com that will handle all of the emails except one email - Another MX Record that will redirect to another email server if the address email is: me@mycompany.com  Is it possible? If yes, how can I achieve it?  Thanks,  Fabien

I'm trying to find mails that have one address in the recipients but another not in it.  I'm trying things like from:address1@gmail.com and not from:address2@gmail.com and from:(address1@gmail.com and not address2@gmail.com)  None of them work, and I can't find a good help page about boolean operators either.  Anyone has any idea?

See . Someone other than the OP changed the code to address a substantial problem with the it that was addressed as part of my answer. The problem was admittedly peripheral to the core question, but it was a primary differentiator between my answer and another answer submitted at the same time.  Any suggestions on what to do in this situation? Leave it be? Edit it back? Something else?  Update: I just found , from the "Related Links" section on the right, which is pretty relevant. I have to keep remembering to check there rather than just searching for answers.

I'm doing SEO for a new real estate company, yet the developer had surprised me with this:  The developer had created two websites with two domains for one brand:  The first domain/website:  samplehouse.com - that's where the rental and real estate listings go  The second domain/website:  samplehouseinc.com - that website has pages like "about us" "pricing" "contact us" "how it works" and basically only pages representing the brand.  When I asked the developer the reason behind two websites!! this was her response:     The website was too big to be put on one Domain. Hence the reason that   we got two domains!!!!   If you can please answer some of my concerns:    How does this affect SEO? How to notify Google about this? This will likely create confusion to some users, what do you think? Should the site be redone again using just one domain only? given the fact that the company is just starting out in a competitive niche.   Your answers are appreciated and thanks a lot in advance.

As most of you know, putting a link into a post automatically makes it a link (e.g. ) We can force the linkification with angle brackets (&lt;http://localhost/&gt;) if the markdown somehow misses it. But (as far as I know) there's no way to force the address to not be made a link.  Such a feature would be nice when we need example addresses, there's no reason to have a link to , for instance, or , from the question where I thought of this.   I think an easy way to mark this up would be something like &lt;!http://example.com&gt;, making the address appear in plain text without the hyperlink.  This came to my attention in this question:

while googling and reading documentation and API, I've seen multiple solutions for "combining" 2 forms into one, and thus creating a multistep form.  What I want though, not even sure if it's doable, is to "split" my (huge) user registration form into 2 steps, where the value of one field (the only one in step 1) would determine which fields should show up in step 2.  I wouldn't like to drop the entire registration form and re-create it in code or in another way and somehow re-implement the whole user registration process. Is that possible?  EDIT: to avoid misunderstandings, what I need to do is an "actual" multistep form, with submitions between steps, and not some front-end handling. That is, I want the whole thing to be javascript independant.  EDIT2: to clarify even further, the task is figure out how/if possible to pretty much split any "edit" form to 2 parts. The current question does ask about the user/edit and/or user/register form specifically, but in order to come up with a more generalized solution, one might also want to split a node/edit form in to 2 parts. That's what I am really asking about. Splitting an entity/edit form in to 2 (or more) steps.

The editor asked me to use the following format.      Reference   1. Author, blah blah   Instead of      Reference   [1] Author, blah blah ...   Even though in the main text, [1] style has been used.   For example,        Smith [1] has proposed ...      Reference   1. Smith,      This is what I want.   Could you please advise how I can do the above?  Thanks in advance.

Is there a well-supported, common behavior that I can expect if I do something like this in HTML:  &lt;form method="get" action="/somePage.html?param1=foo&amp;param2=foo"&gt;   &lt;input name="param2"&gt;&lt;/input&gt;   &lt;input name="param3"&gt;&lt;/input&gt; &lt;/form&gt;   Seems like this sort of thing is inherently ridiculous, but I've seen it used here and there and I was wondering what on Earth the expected behavior should be.  Are browsers smart enough to tack on "&amp;param2=whatever&amp;param3=whatever" to the action, or do they just throw in a second question mark?  Or what?  Are there cases where this is actually the right way to do things?
