How far should one go in providing complete solutions?

[Campbell Ritchie]

See this post. Salvin pointed out that we usually don't provide complete solutions, but he perceived the original poster (=OP) having difficulties. This was obviously a case where the OP would only have tied themselves in knots and a bit of code would get them out of their difficulties. We apply the rule about not providing solutions most strictly in the “BJ” forum. It is a nice point of judgement, but Salvin thought OP was getting stuck in the mud and allowing them to struggle would simply have led to them getting in deeper and deeper.

I may have gone overboard in helping out OP. Not sure, but I don't mind if the post gets deleted.
I can re-post using smaller code bits. e.g. Using actionCommand as a standalone example, etc...
