How to Check/Uncheck CheckBoxes in a Page using jQuery? Example Tutorial

In the last couple of articles, I have shared a couple of useful jQuery tips like reloading web pages and working with tag selectors. Today, I'll show you how to check or uncheck a particular checkbox using jQuery, one of the most popular JavaScript frameworks. jQuery provides CSS like selectors which can make this kind of task trivial. If you remember, in HTML a checkbox is checked if the "checked" attribute is present and its value is not false, otherwise, it's unchecked. By using jQuery function prop() you can dynamically add this attribute or if present we can change its value i.e. checked=true to make the checkbox checked and checked=false to mark the checkbox unchecked.

How to solve java.lang.classnotfoundexception sun.jdbc.odbc.jdbcodbcdriver in Java 8

java.lang.classnotfoundexception sun.jdbc.odbc.jdbcodbcdriver exception comes in Java 8 because it has removed the JDBC ODBC bridge driver class "sun.jdbc.odbc.jdbcodbcdriver" from JDK and JRE. This class is required to connect any database using Object database connectivity driver e.g. Microsoft Access, but unfortunately, you cannot use it from JDK 8 onward. In order to solve this error, just use the Jackcess library or a commercial driver like HXTT. Normally, in pre-Java 8 world, java.lang.classnotfoundexception sun.jdbc.odbc.jdbcodbcdriver error comes when you try to connect to the Microsoft Access database from Java using JDBC and JDBC ODBC bridge driver is not available in the classpath.

Does Standard Column Width of 80 On Coding Make Sense in Modern Era of Big Monitors?

One of the oldest coding practices is to keep line width 80, and many of us follow it blindly but have you ever thought about why we have this practice in the first place? I believe it was to make your code more readable in the age of small monitors so that the whole content can fit on the screen, or it might have originated from the age of punch cards, which was used to be 80 columns wide. This sounds reasonable when we think about those old days but do you think this rule makes sense now? We are now living in the age where most of the developers have got large monitors, which can show up to 180 characters, doesn't this is wastage of precious monitor space? It also makes your code unnecessary long, than it actually is.
