To view Cached lookup goto View > Advanced Now you will see an entry called Cached lookups appear as shown in image below Gobind is my server name. Step 2 (Clear DNS cache) From here on there are 2 ways you can clear your cache. Either select Cached lookups entry and then Goto Action > Clear cache  as shown below OR Right click on Cached lookups entry and then left click Clear cache from cotext menu as shown below   You don't have to restart your DNS service.

Hi Guys, Now that I am experimenting with Google Maps I thinks its about time to write a few articles. This is the first one in the series to follow in coming weeks. This post covers how to draw a KML Layer overlay using Google Maps. Good thing is that as of version 3 there is no external library is needed to do what we are going to do. KML that I am going to use can be downloaded from the link provided at the end of this post. Final result will look like below Code Snippet You would have a clue how to use Google Maps API to draw simple maps so I am not going to explain line by line but you can use the code snippet to extend it   [crayon-648346ca229ac184758439/]   This will produce a nice KML Layer with a polygon created from the coordinates supplied from the KML data. To change the colors of the line and highlighted area you can change color value under style element values as shown below [crayon-648346ca229af345276812/]   Remember color property is not your typical HEX color. Its defined as aabbggrr (alpha, blue, green, red)   Download Demo KML You are able to download the KML file from the link below https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1277098/3075.kml That's about it actually.  Most of the power is in your polygon data and GM API take care of the rest. I hope this helps Cheers, … [Read more...]

Hi Guys, In previous few post we discussed about many social button including Google +1, Twitter, Facebook Like, In this post I will show you how to create a LinkedIn button with a callback.

Generally you will use location.href here data-counter: Where would you like your share counter to appear. 3 possible values are top, right or blank data-onsuccess: This is the important bit where we place our callback function. Make sure that your callback function is available on your page. [/ltu] That's pretty much it and you are able to create a LinkedIn share button with a custom callback. I hope that this helps Cheers,   … [Read more...]
