Copy files and preserve folder structure
I have to copy a bunch of files from one drive to another. Simple Strg+C is to unreliable and has to start from the beginning, if the copy process gets interrupted. xcopy %source% %destination% has no sufficient logging options.
The solution should be a command line script, to simply rerun the task.
AutoComplete input box
For the improvement of user experience on a web site it is useful to provide a autocomplete element on some inputs. On the Internet there are many scripts available for download which implement autocomplete functionality. Unfortunately most of them are not functioning properly in all web browsers or have other important drawbacks - are not skinable, not flexible for different uses, etc.
We want to implement a good autocomplete widget which would not have all the mentioned disadvatages.
