I prefer WMP over Itunes, becuse it does CD-quality if the file allows.

But I prefer CD over either of them, and phonograph records over all of them.

Ahh but pretty B grade acting.

One thing i never understood about a new hope was you knowhow they jump down the garbage chute and Luke gets dragged under the water by that monster. I find this raises 3 issues.

1. Why does the monster not get crushed when the walls compact all the garbage.

2. How did it get into the garbage disposal on the death star in the first place.

3. I assume the compacted garbage has to get flushed out somewhere assumed by air lock or other such thing and if so why does the monster not get sucked out as well.

Maybe im just turning into one of these nerds who picks at every little mistake rather then just taking the movie as one glorious whole.

Maybe it had just been thrown out.

This is one of the troubles with using divs for columns. There are several tricks:

You have some invalid code. Lines 39 and 40 must not have br tags.

1. Use tables, especially if you want borders around the text to all be the same size.

2. Apply a width: 100%; style to a div above the split into columns, and an identical div below them. Put everything in a master div.

....
<style type="text/css">
.bxfix {margin: none;
          border: none;
          padding: none;}
.bxful {width: 100%;}
.bxpr {width: 25%;}
.bxin {margin: none;
         border: none;
         padding: 5%;}
....
<div class="bxfix">
  <div class="bxful">
    <br />
  </div>

  <div class="bxpr">
    <div class="bxin">
       <!-- contents of first column -->
    </div>
  </div>

  <div class="bxpr">
    <div class="bxin">
       <!-- contents of second column -->
    </div>
  </div>

  <div class="bxpr">
    <div class="bxin">
       <!-- contents of third column -->
    </div>
  </div>

  <div class="bxpr">
    <div class="bxin">
       <!-- contents of fourth column -->
    </div>
  </div>

  <div class="bxful">
    <br />
  </div>
</div>

Enter? You're doing a reverse polish notation calculator?

You need a helper function to get it started. Put your current code in the helper function, and then have the main function call the helper function on each parent WITHOUT testing the starting person.

To add a button to a window, you have to modify the file that defines that window. You can't just paste something on top of the window.

DOS was actually an improvement of CP/M.

Compiled Basic would have been suitable.

The reason Pascal was not suitable was that it is not designed to operate ports.

This looks like a homework assignment. Nobody but a college professor would use LISP.

We don't do your homework for you. But I can get you thinking.

LISP is a prefix language, so it is obvious that the binary tree structure you have is also prefix. A quick look confirms it.

So each node of the tree includes three list items, in this order:

- the node's element (a numeric atom)

- the left child branch of the tree (which is either a tree node or an empty list)

- the right child branch of the tree (which is either a tree node or an empty list)

Since it is a binary tree, all of the elements in the left child must be less than the element in the current node. Likewise, all of the elements in the right child must be greater than the element in the current node.

So your function should be able to tell which way to go by looking at the current node. 4 possibilites exist:

1. The current node is empty. You didn't find the search item.

2. The current node element equals the search value. You found it.

3. The current node element is larger than the search value. Recursively go left.

4. The current node element is smaller than the search value. Recursively go right.

Strings in BASIC are not treated as arrays. Only C-based languages and Pascal do that.

A string array is an array of strings in basic, not an array of characters.

You need the SUBSTR(string, first, length) to look at a portion of a string.

They are called Steel drums. They are used in Calypso and Reggae music.

Popeye ate spinach because of a mistake.

Government in the 1930s asked cartoonists to show examples of good behavior.

But the reason the government wanted kids eating spinach is that they thought spinach contained 10 times the amount of iron present in other foods. But that belief was caused by a scientist misplacing a decimal point.

No. It's about pocket calculators, not programming.

The US coins pictured are actually different sizes. The thumbnail process made them all the same size.

From largest to smallest:

old silver dollar (not pictured, not minted since 1978)
half dollar
new dollar
quarter
nickel (5 cents)
penny
dime

The nickel, penny, and half dollar are made of cheaper materials than the others.

Try using classes instead of ids. Browsers expect only one tag to have a given id.

That doesn't work.

There can't be ANY programs that stay resident when this software runs, or it zxnrbles the data. I even have to temporarily shut off the antivirus and spyware filters and unplug the DSL when I use it.

No, removed.

I can't access a government site i must access with the adblocker in place.

Bot Humbug! :)

It looks the same to me on IE7 and Firefox 2.0.0.3.

I need to see your html.

Try the following:

1. You must define the background image in the stylesheet, not in the html, if you have styles applied to the navbar. Otherwise, ALL of the "navbar" styles you have will trump your image in importance.

2. What kind of object contains the navbar? Certain objects are not transparent to images.

3. Your change of the background color on hover might not be reversible to display an image again. There is no transparent attribute for background.

IE7.

I need the padding to leave space between the border and the text for legibility purposes.

Please use code tags when posting code. Your code hid behind the ads.

It seems to be working on my Firefox 2.0.0.3.

I was going to suggest that too.

That would make me hit my BACK button immediately. Those are ANNOYING!

Use VB or Perl to do things on your own computer.

What language is that? It's not JavaScript.

One way is to subtract the UNPARSED values. They are in the form of the number of days elapsed since 1900. Any decimals in the numbers are portions of days.

That's the safest backup method. And you should already have backups anyway.

A backup in another partition on the same hard disk is no backup at all. If the drive has a motor seizup or a headcrash, ALL of the partitions are gone.

My rule is that, unless you have two copies on two independently removable media, you don't really have a backup.

You could create a shortcut to that sound and audio devices program. You have to do the tabs yourself.

First of all, I wouldn't trust anything I want to keep to one electronic storage unit. If it fails, you lose everything. Keep the CDs - they are more permanent.

Second, data compression often spells trouble. It may want space ON THE DRIVE to run the compression procedure. If so, it may need up to twice the size of the file in free space.

Reinstall.

It's not that simple. The computer is also used for purposes which tangle with ad blockers.

Maybe an ad blocker was working, and was removed when I re-installed a program which requires them to be absent.

It didn't show up on Firefox in the WYSIWYG editor until recently.

I still want it gone.

We shoule not be helping a student to bypass government-installed filters. There is a possibility that anyone who helps with this will be charged with complicity, if an illegal act occurs.

Bypassing computer security without authorization is a crime.

No Ideas?

Use the onload event somewhere in the NEW document, and put the script in it too.

I hope the script doesn't refer to the document you just left.

It works just fine on my Firefox 2.0.0.3 browser. They are red.

Check your browser to see if scripting is disabled.

Scripting languages are generally prohibited from searching a computer outside the web page environment for security reasons

I have written such a function in Visual Basic.

It didn't appear in the WYSIWYG editor until recently.

There is another reason I don't like rounded corners on links. They look like PILLS. The "ADMINISTRATOR" one (which STILL has rounded corners) looks like a suppository. They remind me of nasty MEDICINE (yetch!).

Narue hat? Is that in the genre of a Nehru jacket? :icon_biggrin:

Now I am having problems with it again.

Someone gave me the solution of using the other editor, which didn't display the text. But now both editors display it. ZXNRBL!!!

I DO use the code tags. Give me a way to remove the watermark!

More info for you.

I (yetch) turned on the tooltips again. While I endured it for 15 minutes, I noticed that the duplicate messages did NOT appear this time - in either Firefox or IE.

Overlapping tooltips did appear when I put the cursor on an icon (the "next unread post" icon or the stars). Then the tooltip with the meaning of the icon landed on top of the bumbling tooltip with the text of the post, hiding part of it.

This makes it even weirder, because something unknown has changed its behavior.

After 15 minutes, I shut it off again. I couldn't stand it anymore.

How about turning the "use the code tags" gray text into a tooltip, so I can turn it off?

I can't use the BBS at all with the bumbling tooltips there. It keeps me from reading the forum names correctly, by causing the same visual read errors the moving ads and the gray "Use the code tags" text cause.

The solution is to get rid of the bumbling tooltip permanently. Let the browser tooltip do its job. You can't control the browser tooltip, because it is a function of the USER's browser settings on his own computer. Changing the settings of a user's browser is blocked by security rules.

Firefox has no tooltip settings. It's always on.

And now I can't switch editors any more to get rid of the extremely annoying gray "use the code tags" garbage cluttering the edit window. It suddenly appears in both editors.

I need a way to practice using PHP and MySQL. But I have the following limitations:

1. My ISP requires me to change my URLs if I upgrade to its service which provides PHP and MySQL.

2. If I change my URLs, all of the resumes I already sent out would contain broken links.

3. My home computer is also used for audio production, which means no drivers or processes which install at startup.

4. Whatever the solution is, it must not be expensive.

Oops, I forgot to mention that I'm using WindowBlinds with a custom theme. Does this have anything to do with it?

Thanks,

Gregor

It might. I don't know anything about that. Try removing it and see if you regain control of the font.

There is also the possibility that both pieces of software want the same file extension. I have had this problem before.

It happens because Microsoft keeps appropriating new extensions for itself without first checking to see if other software is already using those extensions.

Note: I hope you aren't making up your own file extensions, as DOS users used to do? You can't do that anymore. Microsoft Word files are limited to the .doc extension.

I took a look at the thread you linked to. Most places have color=green but there is one place in the code that has [color=red][color=green]xxxx[/color][/color]. It is coming out as green because you're negating the red. Would you like me to change this for you? Would you like just this instance to be red or all color?

That happened when I tried to change the green back to red. I couldn't see the green pseudotags when I tried to edit it.

I want ALL of them red.

> This just started happening about two weeks ago. I have done no upgrades and have changed no settings.
Google Toolbar sometimes updates itself while we're sleeping. It does for me, anyways. The thing is, that text in a textarea is really hit or miss as to whether it is still there after navigating off of a page. If using tabbed browsing, do your google searches in new tabs.

I was editing when you replied. I changed one setting which seemed to coincide with this, and it was turning off rounded corners in your control panel.

> Then why let us select an icon?
It's a default vBulletin feature. It wasn't working: people were just selecting very random icons that were never related to their threads. The icon still shows up next to the actual post on the thread page.

That's because you have to wait for the tooltip before you see what the icon means. But I …

I saw it too, before I turned off Daniweb tooltips. But the yellow one is the browser's.
