I have my project coded for an 8pt font on textboxes, buttons, labels and
datagrids. I read that it isn't a good idea to use "points" and that "em" or
eg. "x-small" should be used instead, due to the way different browsers
display text.
Is this true?

Hello,
The only thing that I remember regarding this is that using 'em' in some
browsers allows the user to change the text size (in Internet Explorer for
example, using Text Size from the View menu).

Andrei Pociu

Hi Andrei -
Thanks for responding. Have you in fact used an 8pt font where you did not
run into any problems? (Of course, I'm not referring to an intranet where
everyone has the same browsers.)

I am having a lot of fun using the pyGoogle module (
http://pygoogle.sourceforge.net/ ) that uses the Google API. It is
about as easy to use as I can imagine, and it is a lot nicer than using
my old HTMl screen scraping habits.
My online CGI program Ask Merlin at www.awaretek.com/askmerlin.html is
an example. Currently, the program takes any user's question and picks
the best answer from amongst the possible answers given by the user....

What up,
All I need to do is enter a last name in a text box, query a MSAccess
database and display the name with the corresponding columns. This is
no problem, but when there are more than one records with the same
last name, I need to click a command button to display the next record
with that name. I cant find it in any of my books and it sounds like
an easy enough question. Any help is definately appreciated.
TIA,

Hi,
If there's a textbox and the text entered is longer than what's visible (the
textbox length), how do you make it so that the beginning chunk of text is
visible (instead of the last part of it)?
Thanks again!!!

How does( or should user use) strncpy() to allocate enough memory space for
the destination string, s1?
I guess I am having trouble using strncpy as it seems to be giving me
errors.
And just as well, I don't know the value of n until the program runs, so it
needs to be dynamically allocated.
Then again I hard coded n to be number like3 just to even see if that works.

This is an easy question, I'm sure but I can't seem to figure it
out.
I'm trying to use the number_format() function to remove all decimal
places from a number.
$num = number_format($num, 0, '.', '');
So if I have 23.34567 I want 23, and 45.8789 will return with 45.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
