Why even bother with concatenation server side?

[JavaScript] On ucfirst

There is a way to do this with CSS, in case you don't specifically need to do it with JS: http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-CSS2/text.html#caps-prop

## CSS [css]

#someSelector
{
	text-transform: capitalize;
}

You could really reduce your code with jQuery. (http://jquery.com/)

## Javascript [javascript]
$(function() {
	$("#formID").bind("submit", function() {
		var err = [];
		$("label.required").each(function(i) {
			err[err.length] = this.htmlFor;
		});
		if (err.length > 0) {
			alert("Please fill in the following fields:\n-" + err.join("\n-"));
		}
		return (err.length <= 0);
	});
});

[JavaScript] On Go Back To Yesterday

I would even extend it a bit further, although it may be overkill for your application.

Date.prototype.addDays = function(daysToAdd){
  return this.setDate(this.getDate() + daysToAdd);
}
Date.prototype.getYesterday = function(){
  return this.addDays(-1);
}
var d = new Date();
document.write(d.getYesterday())

[VB.NET] Load XmlNodeList into an XmlDocument

2007-10-01T08:16:00-07:00

Basically I'm just try to load an XmlNodeList into an XmlDocument and I was wondering if there's a more efficient method than looping.

## VB.Net 2.0 [asp_vb.net]

  Private Function GetPreviousMonthsXml(ByVal months As Integer, ByVal startDate As Date, ByVal xDoc As XmlDocument, ByVal path As String, ByVal nodeName As String) As XmlDocument
    ' build xpath string with list of months to return
    Dim xp As New StringBuilder("//")
    xp.Append(nodeName)
    xp.Append("[")
    For i As Integer = 0 To (months - 1)
      ' get year and month portion of date for datestring
      xp.Append("starts-with(@Id, '")
      xp.Append(startDate.AddMonths(-i).ToString("yyyy-MM"))
      If i < (months - 1) Then
        xp.Append("') or ")
      Else
        xp.Append("')]")
      End If
    Next

' *** This is the block that needs to be refactored ***
    ' import nodelist into an xmldocument
    Dim xnl As XmlNodeList = xDoc.SelectNodes(xp.ToString())
    Dim returnXDoc As New XmlDocument(xDoc.NameTable)
    returnXDoc = xDoc.Clone()
    Dim nodeParents As XmlNodeList = returnXDoc.SelectNodes(path)
    For Each nodeParent As XmlNode In nodeParents
      For Each nodeToDelete As XmlNode In nodeParent.SelectNodes(nodeName)
        nodeParent.RemoveChild(nodeToDelete)
      Next
    Next

    For Each node As XmlNode In xnl
      Dim newNode As XmlNode = returnXDoc.ImportNode(node, True)
      returnXDoc.DocumentElement.SelectSingleNode("//" & node.ParentNode.Name & "[@Id='" & newNode.Attributes("Id").Value.Split("-")(0) & "']").AppendChild(newNode)
    Next

' *** end ***
    Return returnXDoc
  End Function
