I am trying to understand how to use promises. I am having a little problem with pouchDB so I needed to go back and research how promises worked. I have the following sample page I created with three promises and three status lines (two between promises and one after the promises). <!DOCTYPE...

I was under the assumption (maybe incorrectly) that the deferred code around the code would prevent the code from jumping outside of the promise chains. I understand it would jump to something else but would not follow the "then" chains until function was done.

I am using PouchDB to handle some local database processing and I am having an issue setting up my promise to work correctly. In essence I have the following: ... }).then(function () { return initialize(); }).then(function () { return updateWorkIssuesJson()...

I have some cells that are duplicate values. I can blank or zero out a cell by comparing it to the previous column (using Previous() or a code method. The problem is that the summing seems to be done before these expressions or code are applied. So even if I clear the cell, the original value...

I can't seem to get values from my dataset in my page header where they change as my values change. Part of the issues is that I have multiple datasets and therefore cannot directly access the dataset form the header. I have a dealer and a region in my dataset. I have tried to add a variable...

I am trying to order a set of numbers in Linq. var columns = source.Select(columnSelector).Distinct().OrderBy(x => x? x => x in intellisense only has normal object selections (Equals, GetHashCode, GetType and ToString). columnsSelector is passed as: "Func<T, TColumn>". This is just a list...

I have a list of books that I have grouped, summed and ordered the groups. But I can't figure out how to order the books within the groups. I have the following: public class Book { public string Title; public string Author; public string Genre; public...

It does help. I got the a:link:visited syntax from another source that said this works fine. The deal was that if the 2 selectors are going to be treated the same for one or more properties, you can use this syntax. All I am trying to do is make sure that the Link items in our menu on the...

Is there a way to read a file from .dot net and just get the text? I am looking for a way to do this in .net or VB. I have about 300 documents that need to be added to our database and web page. I need to get the 1st readable line to use as a title or subject. The problem is that .doc files...

I am just adding the class to my table tags or <td> tags and it seems to work fine. Was just curious if I needed to also add the class field by itself as well as the class and the pseudo classes (a:visited). a:visited:link would be the same as a:visited, a:link Thanks, Tom.

That was the right direction. I also need to align the 3rd <td> to the right (and make it a fixed size and it works fine. Here is the code I ended up with that works as I wanted. <table width="100%" height="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" bordercolor="#000099"> <tr...

Do I need to have a class definition if I am just using it for links? For example, I have the following class - MenuLinks - that I want to use in my menu. This is the only place I am going to use it. I set up the following: .MenuLinks a:link:visited { font-family: Arial, Helvetica...

The first part of the table is: <table width="100%" height="100%" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" bordercolor="#000099"> <tr height="100"> in my CSS file I have body { margin: 0; padding: 0; } This will all the table to fill the whole screen, no matter what size the browser...

I have a logo that was originally 625x100 pixels. The problem is that if I put it in browser it stretches the image. So what I did was slice the image into 3. The middle slice is just a solid color with a strip that is a solid color, so this is the piece I use to stretch, since it won't...

I did try to include the HTML page, but it didn't work. It messed up the tables and the rest of the page. Also, I was just looking for a way to quickly (and temporarily) put our current pages into a framed window (not to be confused with frames) just to be able to get the whole site up quickly...
