    Columns to Rows

    Ah yes - That should teach me to read it properly! A computer always does what you tell it to, but rarely does what you want it to.....

    Columns to Rows

    You need to use a Cross-tab/Pivot query. For example, you have a table called tblSales: Year | Sales -------------- 2011 | 10000 2010 | 9000 2009 | 8000 SELECT [2009],[2010],[2011] FROM tblSales PIVOT ( MAX(Sales) FOR [Year] IN ([2011],[2010],[2009]); ) AS...

    Wireless Repeater into tv

    Diolch John, I've been looking at those ethernet over Power adapters myself, but I've heard that they can be unreliable in a house with old electrics? I think that a colleague has bought them, so will borrow them off him to test it first. A computer always does what you tell it to, but rarely...

    Wireless Repeater into tv

    I'm not sure where this should be posted, but i'm hoping that someone here can help me. I have recently purchased a new Sony Bravia TV and want to hook it up to the internet, but unfortunately my router is not in the living room, and I am not going to fork out £70 for a SONY wireless dongle. Is...

    CSS relative top and fixed bottom?

    The example i gave was a very simplified problem i had, where i had a div panel in the middle of the screen, and this div had overflow:auto; so it would scroll, so I needed the height of the box. The footer wasn't absolute position it used negative margins to appear on the bottom of the window...

    CSS relative top and fixed bottom?

    Thanks vacunita, but I don't think I'm clear here, the problem is that I don't know what the height of my header will be, as it is dynamic, and I want the content to fill the gap between the header and the footer div (which is positioned absolute at the bottom of the screen). A computer...

    CSS relative top and fixed bottom?

    Hi johnwm, thanks for the reply.... I don't think I explained clearly enough, I want the second div to stretch to fill the gap between the header and footer..... without css, it doesn't stretch to fill the gap. Only uses the space that the div needs! Aaarggh! This is hard to explain..... But...

    CSS relative top and fixed bottom?

    Hi, I would very grateful to anyone who could help me out with a problem that seems to haunt me again and again! I am designing a website which very simplistically is like this: <div id="header"> <ul> <li>Nav1</li> <li>Nav2</li> <li>Nav3</li> </ul> </div> <div id="content"> </div> <div...

    swf banner inside &lt;a&gt;&lt;/a&gt; tags

    because i was going to suggest something like this (AS2) within your banner (one that you could reuse if your swfs are all different): banner.onRelease = function() { getURL("http://"+url, "_blank"); } Do not define the variable url within your code, and where you embed your flash movie...

    Adding numbers :/

    Here: var new_price = document.purchase.TotalAmount.value + 100; alert('its ticked - value' + new_price); You are trying to add a String to a number, you'll need to convert the string to a number first. Like so: var new_price = Number(document.purchase.TotalAmount.value) + 100; alert('its...

    swf banner inside &lt;a&gt;&lt;/a&gt; tags

    Thus, I wouldn't have to set the link inside the fla files which is quite a hassle." - do you have a number of identical swfs, but they link to different places? A computer always does what you tell it to, but rarely does what you want it to.....

    Game login

    You will only need to use php if you are connecting to a database or something similar. It seems to be that you just need to place an input textbox on the stage, assign a variable to the textbox, then that variable will then hold the name..... A computer always does what you tell it to, but...

    Newbie Q: Simple Banner won't tween smoothly

    oldnewbie is right - it is possible to tween using actionscript, and it is usually less choppy. There is a great tutorial on the kirupa website - just google: kirupa tween class. Also, if you are trying to tween a 3000px wide jpg - there might be some slowdown (due to the size of the jpg). If...

    passing parameters to function

    Instead of passing parameters into the function, why don't you assign each button a property, and then access this property within the function, like so: import flash.net.*; function go(e:MouseEvent ) { trace (e.target._message); var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("")...
