1 AnswerMathematics7 years agoFlashVars not working?
Head section of the HTML:
<script type="text/javascript" src="scripts/swfobject.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var flashvars = {};
flashvars.gameId = "test";
var params = {};
var attributes = {};
swfobject.embedSWF("Flash/court.swf", "myId", "818", "408", "9.0.115","Flash/expressInstall.swf", flashvars, params, attributes);
</script>
Inside the body:
<div id="myId"></div>
Here is the Flash:
myTextField.text = root.loaderInfo.parameters["gameId"];
Still comes up empty. Not sure what I'm doing wrong or what I'm not doing. What do you think?

3 AnswersProgramming & Design1 decade agoProblem displaying the date in PHP?
I am have troubles displaying a date. I got the information from the database. Then I used the date() function.
This is how it looks:
$date = date('M j,Y' , $post_date);
the $post_date is from the database query
I defined it as $post_date = $row3['post_time'];
In the database I am using datetime for the post_time field
If you understand the mess I just said, do you know what I am doing wrong? And please show examples.
2 AnswersProgramming & Design1 decade agoHow do you extend the background fully from top to bottom?
Here is an example of what I am talking about:
http://www.gfedwrestling.com/login.py?from=%2Fpage...
As you can see the page has no scroll bar, but yet the background extends fully to the top and bottom. Is this done through a background image? Or can you do it with css?

1 AnswerProgramming & Design1 decade agoProblem with the <div> elements?
I have one line of <div>'s. Then I have another line of <div>'s. The problem is when I write in the first line <div>'s, the second line <div>'s will go down with the text and won't stay vertical. How do I get the second row to stay vertical align? I tried the vertical-align but it didn't work, any ideas?
5 AnswersProgramming & Design1 decade agoHow do you align <div> elements?
Like make one <div> element go to the left of the screen, one in the middle, and one to the right, all in the same row. Pretty much how do you make column and rows in <div> like in tables?
