    Order of interpretation (couldn't spell presidence)

    I am learning/trying to learn CSS from a book, Beginning CSS Web Development ... It eludes to the following /* I saved this as container.css */ /* Define styling of our reusable box */ .box { margin: 10px; padding: 20px; border: 1px solid #000; } /* Make text red only for paragraphs...

    How do I get timezone and/or UTC offset

    Short version I need to be able to get the current UTC offset from Windows XP machines. Long version I am parsing Unix log files which of course use the Unix Epoch and UTC. 1241639502.989 - ( 60 * 60 * 5) = 5/6/2009 2:51:42 PM via dateadd() unless of course it is daylight savings time, then it...

    logrotate not working for me

    Thanks, someone on the UbuntuFourms hit it right on the head. The -d switch was putting it into debug mode so no changes were actually being made. The really sad part is I had actually printed out the man pages and highlighted the verbiage of all the switches I was using. I guess I read one...

    logrotate not working for me

    Ubuntu Server 8.10 I am trying to get the log files from the 2nd instance of squid to rotate. More on that later. When it failed I decided to test my config files so I did the following, as root. Created a log file ls /bin > /tmp/log/bin.log Created a config file, rotate /tmp/log/*,log {...

    Vista will not return after screen saver

    All drivers are current, I can type the gettysburg address and still only get the black screen. I never saw the sense in loading in safe mode when holding the power button until it dies then selecting normal works. I have to admit I am not a Vista fan, it is worse than the Millennium Edition...

    Vista will not return after screen saver

    Sigh, what an incredible piece of crap. HP Pavilion db6000 2 gig ram 160 gig hdd Windows Vista Home Premium The screen goes black after moving the mouse if any of the stock screen savers come up for more than 1 minute. As in all I get is a black screen with a white pointer. Power settings are...

    RDP refuses to work

    You would be correct in questioning my memory. I was thinking of a new machine my Doctor had purchased. He opted (wisely) for the XP downgrade option hence the rdp working. Ed

    RDP refuses to work

    I did indeed go the ultravnc route. I'd swear that I've used RDP from XP to Vista in the past. I know I have.... Ed

    embed a query in a query?

    Thanks, that did it! I did take a quick look at the sql browser, so far it is more confusing then the command line :-) Ed

    embed a query in a query?

    Thanks, I'll look at the browser right after I get this working :-). mysql> update table requests set listid = {select listid from lists where listname = 'Blacklist'} where urlid=89; ERROR 1064 (42000): You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server...

    embed a query in a query?

    Thanks, perhaps where != and is why it failed when I tried it. I swear the mysql console has the most obnoxious beep in the world. Ed

    embed a query in a query?

    I have these tables, sorry, old joke. Is something like the following possible: update table requests set listid = {output of "select listid from lists where listname = 'blacklisted'") and requestid = 89; or do I have to make 2 separate queries? Ed

    Thank you so very much for the spoon feeding! I really do appreciate it. I can now put together the editor and delegate the 'url boy' duties. Ed

    update database based upon html table

    OK, almost there, I should have warned you I am rather thick. On the table building page echo "<td><input type='text' name='list[]' value ='".$row[1]."'</td>\n"; // listName page source view <td><input type='text' name='list[]' value ='Blacklist'</td> I changed all 5 of the text boxes to...

    update database based upon html table

    I am starting at the level that makes the most sense to me, I do/did not see any other place to start. The samples I have found are so convoluted that I ended up more confused then when I began. Perhaps I am making this harder that it really is. I am working with a demo query that returns 5...

    update database based upon html table

    Thanks, could you give me an example using the output from a mysql query ($result)? Currently I have this to build the table: while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){ echo "<tr>"; echo "<td width='10%'>$row[0]</td>"; // urlID echo "<td width='10%'>$row[1]</td>"; // listName...
