Searches for the answer yield "this could be brutal"! If I were to attack this I would hope that I could make autocad spit out the board feet in addition to counting the number of boards. I am betting autocad could do what you want in as far as exporting data. The idea of an algorithm to save pieces would take some thought. For excel to use the figures, what I am seeing anyway, you would need to have the feet in one column, the inches in another, total those up at the base of those columns. Then simply apply your buying lengths to get the number of pieces. In the overall picture, you are gonna have waste, no matter how you look at it and the folks doing the cutting are gonna make errors etc. Probably better to have extra anyway! Just a few thoughts for you. Another idea is to search for autocad lisp files that someone has already coded and made available.

Hi Zach, I am wondering why Excel cannot do this for you? Prior to exporting to the database? Just looking at your question, it seems that it would be easy to do within Excel.

I have found evidence that changing the doctype for the page helps....(to xhtml).

Very rarely does an individual attribute of any element act the exact way you want it to. It depends on what is around it, other settings in your css, where in the css file your attribute is placed, etc. etc. I would read up on the attribute to get some clues as to what is happening. One place is: https://css-tricks.com/almanac/properties/h/height/. Another would be the W3 Schools site.

You have to go here: https://developers.google.com/maps/. There is way too much to just tell you how to do that. It is easy if you go read about it.

What does the FAQ on dreamhost have to say? Anything?

It could be in the spam folder on the recipients end?

Sharepoint doesn't translate well version to version. It is usually helpful to refer to the sharepoint help, generally available on the page for the site then search for error you are getting. Could be the 'type' was not compatible with new version? You may have to state what the error actually said for someone to actually troubleshoot with you...

Well, I am moving on. If you do check back you should look into the bootstrap github repository etc as it appears there are some bugs surrounding autocomplete/typeahead that may give you a clue as to what is happening with your project....

Hello? You were in a hurry and a few people are responding...you should respond as well....are you there?

;-)

Turn off the autocomplete on the textbox and see if that makes any difference. Autocomplete loads when the control is in focus maybe and is slowing things down?

If I understand your question correctly, you will want to check out http://api.jquery.com/delegate/ page for some ideas to try out.

At first look at code snippet above, I would assume that 'q' probably is blank? Maybe have php file output what 'q' is first? as a debug exercise would be my first step.

Look into jquery toggle. http://api.jquery.com/toggle/. See if something like that may assist you.

I see on google some folks have had luck changing the path to the fonts to absolute rather than relative. Try that first. Mozilla support has this page:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1003474 that may shed some light as well.

Your carousel works ok if you resize the browser window. It does not work if you size it down small (the size of the image). You must have a css media statement working against you. It works fine in Chrome with window maximized: except the image itself is placed to the far left in the carousel. Again in this instance you must have some css overriding the carousel's css....

My experience is: it is sharepoint, not IE. Sharepoint does stuff for you that it thinks you need when you dont want it to. you have to play with it continuously.

Does the script work in a normal html crafted page outside of sharepoint in IE? Just make a plain html page, add your scripting, see if it works in IE. It may make it easier to debug that way also.

You should just google this. You will find more than you will ever want to know about it that way. You do not need it no, but if you are using apache server you can do a lot with it....

I just pasted your code into my editor, ran it and an alert popped up with an answer...I am using Chrome browser with Brackets editor. Your code does not go beyond 6 for a choice like your drop down allows however and that results in 0 as an answer but the pop-up still comes up..?

The only way I learned google maps display was to just display a simple map, then start adding things as I went along. Google maps is touchy in my opinion and any little mistake and the whole thing bombs. I also have their maps api open in another window while I am working. In other words you will have to step into this code one little bit at a time to see what and where it is failing. The usual suspect of not having a div sized appropriately etc seems to be ok but as far as the other stuff it is hard to troubleshoot for you. At least you can be working on it while waitng for someone to answer your question fully. Check all your code semantics also, very important.

Your calls to add jquery and bootstrap files are incorrect. Instead of 'type' they need a 'src=' statement that points to the file locations. GoTo http://www.w3schools.com/js/js_whereto.asp. for a starter on where/what/when to do stuff. ALSO, the bootstrap documentation is actually pretty good at explaining things...

@INST_ID, in cmd3. Is this correct in your code? seems it should be @User_ID as in cmd2??

Googling this issue reveals that charts have some problems with bootstrap as it were. I did not go further but you should look into the google docs for this. Their charts put some code in for you and apparently it is not working super with bootstrap etc. I bet there is a way around it but you will have to experiment some....

PHP will 'echo' some text where the php code is placed. If you place the php segment where you want it to be 'echo'ed that is where it will show up. Look at http://www.w3schools.com/php/php_syntax.asp. Not sure but that may be why it is not showing up where you want it to.

This link gives an example (albeit somewhat confusing) See if it makes sense to you then pursue more in google.....

How are you getting the pictures from mysql? PHP?

Not sure as I have not done the progress bar thing but PHP addresses it somewhat: http://php.net/manual/en/session.upload-progress.php, again not sure if this will help but may be more info on the page related to your issue....

If you have mysql installed on your local development machine, when you use mysql_connect statement you need three things, the host, the user, the pwd. You have those in your code. I have not had to specify a port as mysql will specify that for you usually. Try removing the port from the definition of DB_HOST. Mysql service must be running when you try this script as you know so I assume you have mysql installed on your development machine. In addition you are using some thing similar to webmatrix or Apache server for the host?

Double check all the brackets for the if statements. It looks like you are missing some on the last two else entries....cursory check in editor reveals all the if statements are not matching up correctly, that is if I am reading them correctly.

I think you may have to go to the google visualization api page and start reading. I have not used it but it appears there is some code not following their api closely.

The z index will not have effect until a 'position' is set for an element. I don't see that in your code except the last part. It also will not have an effect at all in some instances. You will have to research that and see how to apply to your code.

There are conditional statements you could use as well as websites that discuss number formatting, rounding etc that you should go to. It may be you could use a 'switch' statement. Give folks some code to look at and then they will respond possibly.

Have you tried simply window.close()?

You can add tags a few different ways, PHP, javascript, jquery. Not sure why your tags would not show up if you added them? If you used dynamic addition it could be the function is not working? You would have to post some code you may have tried.

header information must be sent before any html is sent. see http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.header.php.

First thought would be the location of the external script tag in your html file. It could be the elements have not been rendered when the script is run. Have you tried putting the link for the external file at the bottom of your html file?

Which picture does it put in the element above? The first one or the last? Your conditional statements are only checking that a particular element with a class exists, not that it was clicked. You should look up "this" keyword and some functional examples online at jquery.com.

Where did it save that row? In a mysql database, localDB? Without seeing what all the code you used did, if it only saved one row maybe you need a loop to go through the rows?

That is a pretty big request but essentially you have to create a connection to a db, gather all your variables and validate the entries, write a sql statement, execute that statement on the db opened in your connection string. There are lots of examples on the net.

I think you may be using clone() incorrectly. You should consult jquery.com api documentation.

If you use the button css on other pages but want it different on this page, you will have to have a style section in the <head> section of this page to make differences show up. I notice in your style.css file there are css entries further down in the code that may be trumping the button-3 css. Also make sure if you want style.css to be the determining css file it should be listed last in the list of css files for the html file (in the head section). Css files are read top to bottom so look at the css you have for your #contact-form and #submit as a clue to why your button may not look the way you want it.

Go to bootstrap website and review the grid details section: http://getbootstrap.com/2.3.2/scaffolding.html#gridSystem.

I could be wrong but Bcc is acting as intended. No one can see the Bcc, as it is a blind copy. The bcc recipient would simply click reply. The reply-to would simply be a matter of clicking "reply" or "reply to all". If you wanted a different address in the reply to box you would code that yourself. You have probably see this already: "https://github.com/PHPMailer/PHPMailer"

Did you try the documentation page? http://jquery-ui-map.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/demos/jquery-google-maps-basic-example.html

I think you should ask the magento developers. http://magento.com/resources/technical

Take px off of the value, just use 2.

Short of doing it for you, you can certainly find one method at this link: http://css-tricks.com/snippets/css/sticky-footer/. There are other solutions on the net.

Put a ; at the end of this code. Assuming of course you have all this between <script></script> tag set and that jquery is installed....? Not sure where you are getting your reqid value from but the semi-colon makes what you show here work after assigning a value to reqid.

You need a random selection process like this --
var x=Math.floor(Math.random()*images.length)--
See where that gets you.

Without knowing what you are trying to achieve it is a little hard to help troubleshoot the issue. Using your code provided I see a bordered div witht a purple stripe up top. I don't see a side div nor do I see a difference when I remove the top margin except of course the div moves up...you need to explain more for everyone to understand.

You most likely will want to create a print.css just for printing your document. search for stylesheets with attribute of media=print and make all your print layout in that document.

This link: http://matthewjamestaylor.com/blog/ultimate-2-column-right-menu-pixels.htm, gives some ideas on responsive sizing that may assist as well. Making an image responsive can be done with img{max-width:100%; height:auto;}

well that size of picture makes it seem like you want a full page background for the one div maybe. That is different sort of thing than what I was thinking.

Try placing a 100x100 placeholder image inside your div. use this css for the img:
img {
display: block;
position: absolute;
top:0;bottom:0;right:0;left:0;
margin: auto;
vertical-align: middle;
}
You will have to play around with the text etc. Experiment. Most anything can be done with css only. There are numerous solutions probably.

what is the size of the picture?

It shows up light gray in IE9 for me. Maybe a conflict in css elsewhere.?? another css file for IE only??

Sometimes different browser interpret things like onclick etc differently. Search for those function calls in Google and see if you can find differences.

Maybe this is what you are looking for: http://tympanus.net/codrops/2013/05/02/fixed-background-scrolling-layout/

If you are just using your desktop or laptop to change the size of the browser window then yes whataever @media stipulation you have written will change the page view. If you are trying to change the page for a mobile device you will have to use something like "navigator.Useragent" type code.

I think you may need to post the html of the page also.

Did you include jquery in your file?

You have to give people what error messages you are getting if you expect them to solve your issues.

If you provide the html tag in your page with a width somewhat smaller than the screen or browser width it will appear as you see it on your example page. Open your example page's source and then click on it's css file. You will see that they have the main div sized at 980px which makes it appear the way it does.

What you should do is ask this question of the demo article author.

Not sure of all your code but have you tried the "return false;" sort of thing in the method?

I think what they are talking about is a "placeholder" instruction in the textbox maybe?

Try using a second css file from bootstrap called "bootstrap-responsive.css" in addition to the one you are calling and see if it yields better results for you. I would also suggest using one of the bootstrap templates and customizing to your taste just to learn how the thing works.

Start by removing the margin-top:150px; from the #alertbox css styling section. Run your code and see what it does then.

CSS-Tricks has this solution to fixed-footer. See if this is what you are looking for.
html, body, #container { height: 100%; }
#footer {
position:fixed;
left:0px;
bottom:0px;
height:30px;
width:100%;
background:#999;
}

Have you tried relative positioning to see what you get?

A quick look at the documentation for the script appears to say you also need a class of "tablesorter" added to the table element along with the id you have.

You need to show folks where you are calling the ready function in your code for the page, without knowing what is broke it is hard to fix.

I could suggest something like Jquery to help you out. Specifically things like using the .on('click', function()) event along with something like toggleClass function. Search for those in jquery site for how-to's....

Without knowing the setup of the html you have it is a little hard to tell you how to style your css to move an element. So without knowing the code you have one could advise to use a "margin-top" or "padding-top" setting to the container with the banner to move the banner down slightly. You need to experiment with css and see what happens.

I would think you should show us some HTML as well. Cannot tell from css only why this will not work.

Your picture links wont open they are labeled private.

what do you want it to do instead? it is about 500px wide on my screen as you coded..

go to the jquery site and look for the toggle command for starts. there are good examples there.

The padding settings you have in the code above apply to ALL four sides of an element...maybe you need to adjust them on the sides you need it to be different??

Typically z-index will not work if applied to an element that is not correctly "positioned" in css (relative, absolute etc). I am not familiar with the maps api so not sure if this is the question/answer or not. The articles must have given some sort of clue??

Try using the html(); method to add your new div's "inside" the div you want it to be inside. Append will only "add" stuff after the div you identify.

Have you tried any coding yet? One clue to getting it to work is you have to name the range of "source" data. Otherwise Excel will not allow moving to another sheet....

I thought I replied to him, not necessarily you. What he wants to do does not make sense, I agree, but I think he is trying to accomplish something else and has not stated it correctly.

You may have bettter luck coding and actual admin page for you to make changes as it sounds like that is what you may be trying to accomplish.

You should post some of your css for printing layout so we can see what it is you have done.

Not sure what you are trying to do. Jquery is a script file that does not need to be installed. It is downloaded as is and is referenced for use on an html page for instance with a <script> tag. Go to jquery.com and read about it. When you download from the site choose "save link as" rather than just open. http://www.w3schools.com/jquery/jquery_install.asp

Try Gimp program. www.gimp.org

Have you tried params such as showcontrol=0 or loop=1?

In addition go to google's webmaster tools site and submit your site and a sitemap page and it will hasten things a little bit for you. This will also let you track the use of keywords on your page as folks search for you..

Sounds like you need a two or three column layout. Centering the website will center everthing inside a "wrapper" div in the center of the screen. You need to use css to float some of your divs and use margins to position everything. I dont fully understand what you are trying to have the page look like either.
