hey Guffa, are you in a bad mood today? Cheer up - you could always go torment string name = "" in the soapbox - thats'w what I do when I need a laugh! I suppose I shouldn't though... I ought to pick on someone with at least half a brain, really...

As for bananas (if you'll excuse the cross-post reference).... I'm sure the EU was supposed to be producing straight ones.... wondered why my walls are all bent...

Problem with printing table of data in the aspx web page...

31-May-07 23:18

Out of curiosity, why would you do such a thing ? Why not ASP.NET ?

I have a table of data in the aspx web page. I am
printing it in landscape paper (11 X 8.5 inches). If
the table has more columns which cannot fit in the
page, then last few columns will not be printed. Is
there any trick or workaround to print all the columns
in IE 6? If it is not possible to fit all the columns
in one page width, then it should print the remaining
columns in another page.

plz any one help me regarding this... Blush | :O

hi all,

I currently receive an urgent customer requirement that need to implement the features of RSS in the web.

As i just start to go through the article, i get some idea that RSS is used for the web owner who update frequently especially News site.

Can anyone give some idea how to start the deployment of RSS?
By create the RSS file or from the code behind? D'Oh! | :doh:

Thanks a lot.

Cheers,
newbie

Hi guys,
I'm working on a UI that doesn't want to cooperate. ...I figured I'd get a little fancy and I'm running into a little bit of trouble. I'm building an ASP.NET page (C# code behinds) that interfaces with a database table. ...The UI has a javascript "drop down" menu bar up top with a panel(with a couple of input fields and a query button) on the left of the screen, a grid to display the results of the query on the right of the screen, and an "Add" button below the grid. Clicking "Add" hides the grid and displays an "Admin" panel in its place ...blah blah blah. Ok...so there's an issue where the "Query" panel needs to be disabled(yet still visible) while the Admin panel is enabled so I figured I would simply create a div to overlay it and use css opacity to make it 50% opaque grey. ...I know that I ran across an article explaining how to do it but I cannot for the life of me find it with any kind of web search. Does anyone know what I'm talking about? Does anyone know where to find an example of what I'm seeking?

Welcome my son...Welcome..to the Machine

OK. I have tested this in IE 6 & 7 and FireFox and got the same results.
Adding these terms "t2 = 3.43 + 10.00 + 3.33;" produces an incorrect value. Expected value is 16.76, but we get 16.759999999999998. Copy and paste the html code below in notepad and save as an HTML file and run. Oddly, if you swap the first and last terms, you get the expected value. Any thoughts?

<html>
<script>
function Add()
{
var t = 0.0;
var val_1 = document.getElementById('val_1');
var val_2 = document.getElementById('val_2');
var val_3 = document.getElementById('val_3');
var total = document.getElementById('Total');

t = parseFloat(val_1.value) + parseFloat(val_2.value) + parseFloat(val_3.value);

total.value = t;

var t2 = 0;
t2 = 3.43 + 10.00 + 3.33;
//Switching the first and last term produces the correct value
//t2 = 3.33 + 10.00 + 3.43;
//alert(t2);
}

</script>

<input type="text" id="val_1" value="3.43"> +
<input type="text" id="val_2" value="10.00"> +
<input type="text" id="val_3" value="3.33"> = <input type="text" id="Total" value="">
<BR>
<input type="button" id="val_2" value="Add" onclick="Add();">
<BR><BR>
Another Test:
Switch 3.43 and 3.33 ("3.33 + 10.00 + 3.43") values and you get the correct value.
</html>

Swap the first and third terms. Big Grin | :-D

floating point calculations are never exact, that's just how it is

Pinhead_Me30-May-07 12:29

30-May-07 12:29

I agree, but why should the order of terms matter? Addition is commutative. That law should apply to the Math engine within Javascript. Right?

Christian Graus30-May-07 13:27

30-May-07 13:27

Probably because two of the numbers get added, then the third gets added to the result. So, the order of operations could make a difference to if the rounding error is introduced or not.

Yes, it is... but it's pretty poor, really.... ok back in Alan Turing's day maybe, but here we are now with microchips that do a billion+ operations a second and still they can't get simple arithmetic right... I mean, if there's one thing computers should be good at, should be the best at, it's number-crunching, right?

Exactly. That's what prompted me to post this issue.

Christian Graus30-May-07 20:25

30-May-07 20:25

Sure - but at what point do you suggest we change how our processors fundamentally work with regard to floating point ? Instead, we have more expensive classes like Decimal which allow us to do more exact calculations, knowing the cost of them is not a big deal, because of how fast our processors are.

Fred_Smith30-May-07 21:46

30-May-07 21:46

Such a discussion wuld soon lead into technical areas about the inner-workings of microschips I am not qualified to comment on - all I can say is that as an end-user it seems astonishing that to this day computers can still struggle with simple arithmetic. It's up to you tecchies to work out how to do it!

*grin* well, at it's core your PC is a souped up 286. So, the options are to abandon PCs for a new chip set, or live with it.
