Re: How to create a floating navigation bar?

Well, you can use such theme: Business WordPress Themes that can be found on Themeforest.

You know, not everything has to cost money to be solved... most of their templates are meant to look good rather than operate will... I used some of their best templates yet to offer and they didn't meet half of my expectations. I found the best results when making the code myself.

Code Snippet Window

When I have my browser snapped onto the view where it takes up half my screen and have the code snippet window, it only reveals half of the window (half has been cut off) and when I put it in full screen, the window seems to get fixed onto the side of the page (still cut off)... Has anyone noticed that yet by any chance?

Re: Help with programming

Yeah, most institutions won't accept anything that are even 2 days late. I had a professor (as an eigth grader in middle school, i took college courses) who would offer full credit for turning in assignments earlier than the due date and if it was turned in on the due date, you recieve half credit or none depending on whether or not your code was good or not. Thankfully I dropped that course, though the professor quit/retired the same semester...

Re: Rectangles instead of letters

I am not sure if you have done this or not but your file has to be saved a utf-8 encoding, like this:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />

To properly display non-English characters, such as Spanish, French, or Chinese, in MySQL you can define the character set value in ‘DB_CHARSET’ variable in the conf.php.

Kinda like this (forgive me if i made a mistake in this snippet, but it isn't easy writing this on my phone):

define('PHPGRID_DB_HOSTNAME','hostname'); // database host name
define('PHPGRID_DB_USERNAME', 'username'); // database user name
define('PHPGRID_DB_PASSWORD', 'password'); // database password
define('PHPGRID_DB_NAME', 'sampledb'); // database name
define('PHPGRID_DB_TYPE', 'mysql'); // database type
define('PHPGRID_DB_CHARSET','utf8'); // OPTIONAL. Leave blank to use the default charset

Re: Graphing 2 Lines

This isn't a post bump but here is a better wording for my questions:
I am trying to create a way so that I can create 2 different lines and draw them on a coordinate plane but by only using PHP. The 2 lines are being drawn differently, one being drawn by simply giving the equation (which i successfully built with Javascript) while the other line is created by manually giving the x and y for 5 points and then plotting them onto the same coordinate plane as the first one has been drawn on, creating 2 lines on the chart. The second line is the one I cannot create and I plan on using PHP to do this or at least use Javascript. I want to avoid the use of mysql or any use of databases.

Re: when to use paper book and when ebook?

I maybe the youngest guy here posting, 16 years old, but I prefer paper because I hate staring at something with lighting for a certain period of time because it hurts my eyes. Certain stuff are worth reading on ebooks (biographies, novels, magazines, etc.) but not everything, espicially when it comes to learning. I found that actual textbooks are much more useful and I can learn more from it rather than reading off a kindle. Honestly, if I had to spend a whole semester using ebooks only, I wouldn't even be in honor roll (3.5 gpa or above). Fortunately, I use actual textbooks (that i can write in) and because of that my gpa is above a 4 (4.24).

Re: Limit Printing of Web Page

I don't think you can do this with a browser.

We'll see... I am actually kind of curious to know more about this question as well. This is something I haven't thought about.

But here is an answer from another forum that the OP has asked the same question in:

Not unless you have full control over the client-side.

You can TRY to prevent that SAME computer (via cookie) from navigating to the same page twice.

If you are giving the user a unique ID to access the circular pages, you can mark that ID as already having displayed the pages.

But there is simply no way to make sure that the user can't call the print calls in the browser.

One trick, which a js hacker could easily get around.. tie into the page printed event. The answers to that question talk about just how poorly the events are supported, and not cross-browser. If this browser has already had that event fire, nav away or change the @media rule for printing to return css making the whole page display:none (or some trickery).

As far as the actual print dialog ("Copies: x"), there's nothing you can do.

Graphing 2 Lines

Hey guys, I am back from the dead (i don't mean it literaly)...
I was working on a graphing calculator and I stumbled onto a random problem, which i know is really simple, but I constantly keep over working it (and now I am tired...) to the wrong direction. In my calculator, i have created it so that I can graph 1 line but then I decided to challenge myself a bit and try to graph 2 lines (or more) on the same graph. How do I make it so that I can graph at least 2 lines on the chart rather than just 1 simple line?

Here is the code that I used, sorry if anything is missing... i purposely removed them:
HTML:

<div id="top"><h1>XCalc.js v.1.8 Demo</h1>
    f(x) = <input type="text" value="(x+4)^2*(x-6)+60sinx" id="input" /><input type="button" value="Graph" id="simplify" />
  </div>
<div id="wrapper">
<div id="result"></div>

CSS, I don't think it will be needed... I won't post it unless its needed.

Javascript:

//Class for operators
function Operator(input) {
  this.operator = input;
  if (!input) {
    console.log("Operator has no input.");
  }

  this.solve = function(segment1, segment2, x) {
    var v1 = segment1.coefficient;
    if (segment1.type=="variable") {
      v1 = x;
    }
    var v2 = segment2.coefficient;
    if (segment2.type=="variable") {
      v2 = x;
    }
    if (this.operator=="+") {
      return new Segment(v1 + v2);
    } else if (this.operator=="-") {
      return  new Segment(v1 - v2);
    } else if  (this.operator=="*") {
      return  new Segment(v1 * v2);
    } else if (this.operator=="/") {
      return  new Segment(v1 / v2);
    } else if (this.operator=="^") …

If you lift up his ear, it is nasty and smelly. He is a small, long haired havenese with floppy ears and is 1 year of age.
