Can you ask for temporary credit limit increase in a credit card?

I have a Visa with a $2,000 credit limit and I am planning to go overseas for 2 weeks. |||Worth a try but I doubt it would be temporary. They want nothing more than for you to get and stay in debt, forever. The most you can manage (min monthly payment), the better for them.

How to limit the number of characters in showInputDiaglog?

Im trying to limit the number of characters that can be entered into my showInputDiaglog box but really don't know how to go about it. I've got the input box and output box working but need to add something to limit the amount of characters and display an error message if the amount is invalid.





Any help will be apretiated :)|||You cannot do this, because such validation is not the intended purposed of the function.





.|||Java Swing is all engineered for the MVC. With OptionPanes you have choices that let you pass custom thingy's into the Dialog. We look for the OptionPaneDialog with object as one of the attributes, we make and Array of Object[] and pass that in.





The choice here is to give in a String, and a JTextField. We modify the JTextField with its own Document model and override a single method. Here I chose insertString, IF we under the char limiit. Otherwise ... don't do nothing.





import javax.swing.JOptionPane;


import javax.swing.JTextField;


import javax.swing.text.AttributeSet;


import javax.swing.text.BadLocationException;


import javax.swing.text.PlainDocument;








public class InputDialog_limitTextfield {











public static void main(String[] args) {





JTextField tf = new JTextField(new CharLimitDocument(5), "", 5);


Object[] msg = {


"Enter zip code: (5 characters)", tf


};


int result = JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog(null,


msg, "Enter zip code...",


JOptionPane.OK_CANCEL_OPTION,


JOptionPane.PLAIN_MESSAGE);


if (result == JOptionPane.OK_OPTION) {


String input = tf.getText();


if (!input.equals("")) {


// data entered


} else {


// nothing entered


}


} else {


// cancelled


}


}





static class CharLimitDocument extends PlainDocument {





int maxLength;





public CharLimitDocument(int fieldWidth) {


super();


maxLength = fieldWidth;


}





public void insertString(int offset, String str, AttributeSet attr)


throws BadLocationException {


if (getLength() + str.length() %26gt; maxLength) {


return;





}


super.insertString( offset, str, attr);


}


}


}|||Use a slice on the answer.

How do you know when the limit of a function is undefined?

How do I know that the limit of a function does not exist when I am given a graph or a table?


PLZ HELP!!!|||You know it exists when the graph flows neatly to a particular point -- the limit. If the graph goes to infinity, or if it heads to different values from different sides, or something even messier happens, the limit doesn't exist.





Same idea with a table.





Basically, having a limit is being "well-behaved". Not having a limit is being a teenager ... I mean, being the opposite of "well-behaved". :D :D :D

How do you calculate proportional stress limit on a stress strain graph?

Can you calculate proportional stress limit on a graph or is it just the point in which the graph becomes non linear?|||It is the point where the graph becomes non linear

What happens when a protein is above the exclusion limit of an ion exchange column?

I know that the exclusion limit generally applies to gel filtration columns, but ion exchange mediums also have this characteristic applied to them. So what happens if the protein exceeds this limit on an ion exchange column?|||Then the substance becomes super saturated.

How much is too much when it comes to reaching your credit limit?

I know that credit card companies don't want you to come to close to your limit when using your credit card. How much of your credit limit should you use? For example, if you have a $5,000.00 credit limit, how much of that is enough?|||You should never use over 30% of your limit which in your example would be $1,500.00.





Even better is to pay your cards off in full every month that way you never pay interest.|||Actually, you are asking three different questions here. First, the credit card companies want you to come as close to your limit as you can without going over...that increases the amount of finance charges and increases their profit. From a consumer perspective, you want to have absolutely no balance that carries from one month to another, which avoids that finance charge. From the perspective of applying for additional credit such as a mortgage, the company you are applying to would like to see something in the order of 1/3 of the limit or less, which shows them that you can handle credit responsibly. Obviously, there are exceptions (purchase of a major item such as a freezer or other appliances might push you over the 50% mark which can be explained and mitigated by not charging more) and when applying for credit, this should be mentioned.|||It isn't how much of your limit you use, it's the balances you carry. If you max out your card but pay the balance in full every month, the credit card company will probably increase your limit.





Carrying balances of more than 30% hurts your score. Pay off the balance and your score rebounds.





Instead of worrying about how much you can put on the card, worry about only charging what you can afford to pay in full every monht. Just because you have a $5K limit, doesn't mean you have to use a certain amount.|||I think one should make allowance for Interest and Other Charges when considering how much of your allowed credit is enough. If you do not, should you go over your limit even as a result of these charges, you will still be penalized (additional charges) for spending over your limit. I think 90% of your limit is just enough|||i loved economics in class and talking to most of the teachers and other people they all told me the same thing when dealing with your credit limit the most you should spend on it is about 40% so in your case $2000 an more than that and your interest will start to go up

What is the speed limit of a united states freeway?

What is the speed limit of a united states freeway? And...are there any other roads in the country where you can drive above that speed limit? If so, what is the speed limit of that road?|||depends on which part of the U.S. you are driving in. On I-80 in the midwest the speed limit is 75mph and in some parts in Utah it is 80mph, now everyone in the US loves to speed so we usually drive 10mph above the speed limit.|||In urban areas, the speed limit on American expressways can be either 50 or 55. On I-20 on the west side of Atlanta between I-75/85 and I-285, the speed limit is 50. Elsewhere around the ATL, the speed limit is 55. In rural places, the speed limit is 65. REALLY rural areas, where the interstatesoften narrow to two lanes, the speed limit is 70 or 75. I even heard of one stretch of interstate in Texas where people can go 80.|||The speed limits on US freeways vary greatly from state to state and depending upon the type of region you're traveling in. For example in many densely populated areas the freeway speed limit is only 55mph while in most rural areas its at least 65mph. In many western states such as Colorado, Arizona,Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, North %26amp; South Dakota, Utah, New Mexico, Nevada etc it's 75mph The state with the highest speed limit however is Texas with an 80mph limit on long sections of interstate 10 %26amp; 20. Hope this helps!|||All speed limits are determined by the state and there are no road that i know of that you can drive above the speed limit since, at least where i live, all country roads are 55, no matter how far out of town.|||In most areas, the speeds posted are between 55 and 70 MPH. We have on Autobahn here as in Germany with NO speed limits!


There are areas in the desert southwest with no posted speeds - that allow higher speeds.
