  1. I don't know what a legal definition is but here is the more accepted definition of a business: A business is an organization involved in the sale of goods, services, or both to consumers. Businesses are predominant in capitalist economies, where most of them are privately owned and administered to earn profits to increase the wealth of their owners. Businesses may also be not-for-profit or state-owned. And this is what the universities teach. A business does not have to be for profit. Business 101 may not teach customer satisfaction, but marketing 101 certainly does. But I see no value in nit picking the definition of business. My original topic seemed to evolve to the fact that "business" was down on the site and what could be done to improve it. And I certainly don't see where a posting about "douchebags" is related, constructive or even appropriate language.
  2. I disagree that this site is not a business. I would content that all sites are a business. Every business has an objective or purpose which I believe she correctly stated for this site. The fact that it is free is immaterial. A church is a business but it is free. All business have an organizational structure, a service or product, bylaws, rules and regulations and customers. A church has all those as does this site. The managers here are the owner, Phailip, Kevin and others. I am a customer. cssfeakie was a customer when I first met him on here. But he had the knowledge and spent the time helping others to where he was "promoted" to a manager's position. I would like to have a manager's badge. I have the time to contribute but I will never have the knowledge required. The point I am getting to is business is all about customer service. It is about selling the customer on your product or service. That is the only way a business will grow. If I was the manager of a business that had taken a down turn the first thing I would do is review everything I could find when business was good. Then I would try to compare those findings to today to see if I could pinpoint a cause/effect relationship.
  3. At the top of the list for me would be timely responses. Back in the day I would post a topic early in the evening and there would be 3 or 4 exchanges within a couple of hours. The last week or so I have posted 4 or so with almost no activity. I don't know if it is me, the topic, how I worded it or what the problem was. So I went to another site to see if I could get some help. I tend to think it was the loss of very good people that were here almost every night....like cssfreakie.
  4. And if that is your model the styling should be in css not the html.
  5. I didn't realize it but you hit the nail on the head with the word "community." I seldom was the giver of help because I am more or less a novice at this. But even at that I was always treated as part of the "community" Patience was their virtue as long as you tried and were not just after someone to write code for you. There were 3 or 4 old time heavyweights....gurus, mods and admins...that I miss seeing here. But as you say I am sure there are new ones as competent, I just haven't been around enough to get to know them.
  6. I also see we seem to have lost several key members that were very active then, like cssfreakie. He was on here daily, is a css genius and a great guy. And a couple of mgt. people that helped me so much aren't as active as they were then. I just don't like the look and layout of Stackoverflow.
  7. I guess I will have to change my "if at first you don't succeed, QUIT." As mentioned before, the jQuery and javascript solutions were just way over my head. But I kept looking and found Eric Myer's Pure CSS Tooltips. Perfect! I ended up with this code to do what I want. So simple. <html <head> <style type="text/css"> a.info{ position:relative; /*this is the key*/ z-index:24; background-color:#ccc; color:#000; text-decoration:none} a.info:hover{z-index:25; background-color:#ff0} a.info span{display: none} a.info:hover span{ /*the span will display just on :hover state*/ display:block; position:absolute; top:2em; left:2em; width:15em; border:1px solid #0cf; background-color:#cff; color:#000; text-align: center} </style> </head> <body> <!-- Tooltip 1 --> <p>What is a tooltip? <a class=info href="#">This is a tooltip <span>A tootip is text or image that appears just when you roll on with the mouse</span></a>. <!-- Tooltip 2 --> <p>The basic idea comes from Eric Meyer's <a class=info href="#"><b>pure css popups</b><span>A very clever way to get dynamic effects on an html page without using javascript.</span></a></p> <br /><br /><br /><br /> </body> </html>
  8. A couple of years ago I was on here daily for probably 6 months. It seems like the activity has greatly decreased. Just wondering?
  9. Thanks Tom. That is exactly what I was looking for. Only problem is it is way above my head. I know a tiny bit about javascript and nothing about jQuery. What I have is ugly but it works so I guess I will leave it for now. Checked out your web site and it looks like you are on your way to a great career. The best of luck to you. Just wondering why you have not updated it in 2 years?
  10. This is the best example I could come up with. When I hover on the link in the box, I don't want to link to the data, I want the additional data to appear in the expandable blue hover box.

The hover info display is ok. Is there any way to limit the amount of info initially shown in the column for 1/19 and still show all the info on hover? I know there are other ways to do the calendar but this is the easiest for me. I am not that good at javascript.
  12. Many thanks. I now have a totally new outlook on life........well, almost. I can usually get the job done although I certainly am not an advanced coder. I have called functions but never realized you could execute javascript without being inside <script></script>.
  13. I am only familiar with javascript calling a function and I have not defined a function. So are you saying that the code is executing javascript? What about "Value=(Math.round..........."? Is this also javascript?

I found the first 3 written in Javascript. I tried to modify it to include temperature with no success. Then I discovered one for temperature and modified the look to match what I already had. But I have never seen computations done with html alone. I cannot find an explanation anywhere. Everything I can find says “onchange designates a Javascript to run…” Can you point me to an explanation of : onchange="eval('C.value = ' + this.form.C_expr.value);eval('K.value = ' + this.form.K_expr.value)"> and VALUE="(Math.round(((212-32)/100 * C.value + 32)*100))/100;"> I understand the math. But I can’t find “eval, this form, C expr.value” used with onchange. And I can’t find “Math.round” used with VALUE.
