[losing value of window.opener]

Hello all,

 

I've been trying to a resolve an issue with a parent page not reloading after a child form is submitted.

The initial problem is that I immediately lose the value of window.opener on the call to the child window.. What am I doing wrong?

 

Here is my call to the child window in my php file:

 

<a href="notes.php" class="actiontiny" target="_blank" onclick="modalWin('3','4','add' ); return false;">Add Note</a>

 

Here is the Javascript for modalWin function:

The alert statement results in "undefined" when it should result in the name of the parent's php file name....right?

 

function modalWin(type, id, func) {

  alert(window.opener);

  if (window.showModalDialog) {

    window.showModalDialog("notes.php?type="+type+"&id="+id+"&func="+func+"","Notes", "dialogWidth:600px;dialogHeight:510px");

  } else {

    window.open('notes.php?type='+type+'&id='+id+'&func='+func+'','Notes',

    'height=510,width=600,toolbar=no,directories=no,status=no,menubar=no,scrollbars=no,resizable=no ,modal=yes');

  }

}

[Convert decimal into time]

Ken,

When I copy and paste your code without making any edits to it, I get 20:28:13.

 

[Convert decimal into time]

I got the results I wanted with this code:

<?php

$pct = 6.1275;

$mins = $pct*1440/100 ; // 1440 minutes in most days

$hrs = $pct*24/100; // 24 hours in most days

$fake_time = intval($hrs). ":". (intval($mins) - 60*intval($hrs));

echo $pct. "% of a day equals ". $fake_time. " in hh:mm format";;

?>

 

The other solution returned 20:28:13

 

Thanks to the both of you for helping me out.

[Convert decimal into time]

Not a gag.

 

To see a live example copy 0.0612756581515 into a cell in MSEXCEL.

Then right click the cell and select Format, then select the time format (hh:mm)

 

Excel treats the number as a a percent of a 24 hour day.

So, 6 hours = .25  12 hours = .5  18 hours = .75 and 24 hours = 1

That's the logic.

 

I just can't get my head around how to convert it the opposite way.  Meaning if someone said what is 6.1275% of a 24 hour day, how would I calculate it and return an answer in a  hour:minute format.

 

[Convert decimal into time]

A client provided me with an Excel Doc. with some very complex equations to determine a time period.

 

I have been able to duplicate the results using PHP up to the point where Excel converts the decimal value into a period of time using a 24 hour time frame.

 

For example I have a decimal value = 0.0612756581515 which equals 1 hour and 28 minutes in Excel.

 

How do I convert that decimal value to 1 hour and 28 minutes , or 88 minutes, or 316800 seconds.

 

There's got to be a way, but solving it is over my head.

 

Thanks in advance
