Thanks for the reply sem. I am not really understanding your suggestions. Am I mistaken or do they both come down to housing the alias in a variable in the end? For example, if I select the field that holds the alias name in the cursor example you have provided, don't I then have to pass it...

Oops, forgot to say I'm using 8i, so in theory I can use dynamic SQL if I have to...

Here's the question: How can I create a dynamic column alias using a user defined variable? For example I am creating reports where the column names of the report must be in the user's selected language. So before I fill my out cursor with a select statement, I gather the appropriate...

Oh excellent, thanks for the speedy reply! Thessa

Ok, folks, I realize this MUST be an easy one, but I'm not figuring it out! I need to show a number field in millions only. For example, if the normal, non-formatted results are 8,908,999 39,999,897 438,000 7,890 I want to see 8 39 .43 .0079 Anyone know the format mask for that? Thanks! Thessa

try this launchMap = window.open(url,'posB','scrollbars=yes','width=' + w + ',height=' + h + ',left=' + ((chasm - w - 10) * .5) + ',top=' + ((mount - h - 30) * .5));

Alright, that's good to know and solves this problem. Now I will try some other avenue... Thanks for all your time both of you!

:-0 Good grief you guys rock! I am about to head out the door (it's almost 6pm in italy!) but tomorrow I will jump on these first thing. I'm using IE 5.5 and I love dirty code! ha - I'm impressed thanks

Hey everyone, thanks for the responses. Yes, this is a web based html editor, and the requirements are that the user is not supposed to see the html, so I cannot put the href code in the editor box (which is really a big text area). Jaredn, for example, if you highlight the words TO MYFILE...

We are creating an editor. One of the features allows the user to highlight text in a text area, click on a button and find a file to link to in a pop up window. No problem. After clicking on the file they choose, the pop up closes and the text that they highlighted in the text area should...

Layers of course! Excellent - Good show!

Yes. onSubmit you can call a function that checks the value of your text box. if the value is nothing, you can assign the value of something, then proceed in sending the form info. here's half pseudo, half real code (in other words i've been working in other languages recently and not JS...

Yes, the package UTL_FILE. Here's the long description - http://oradoc.photo.net/ora81/DOC/server.815/a68001/utl_file.htm#998101 I don't think you need an account to view it, but if you do it's free. Happy reading... thessa
