we can use,

opacity: 0.5;
-ms-filter:”progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Alpha(Opacity=50)”;
filter: alpha(opacity=50);

for all browsers.

Comment on PHP Database Functions vs. PEAR::DB vs. ADOdb (and PDO) by Vincent Pazeller

Hi!

Nice to have a comparison of speeds. Howewer, It would be even nicer with small charts… the query you use deals with around 200 records. It would be VERY interesting to know how the different libraries behave when dealing with 1000, 10000, 100000. This would allow you to draw very simple charts and have an idea of how the different systems deal with complexity…

Another interesting statistic would be: what is the amount of memory used by these systems?

Thank you for your work anyways

Regards

It’s an old post, but since I found it someone else will also – the ‘filter’ code seems to break the id/anchor links in ie7 (that’s where I am seeing the problem.)
The area is in an overflow hidden area with named anchor text and the text doesn’t move when the filter is part of the css for that text area. Otherwise it’s fine.

So if you have opacity filter and your anchor id/text do not move, try turning off the opacity.

Thanks!
Was trying with filter: alpha(opacity=1) like forever and nothing happened

Turns out that EI9 uses the standard opacity property, here’s a little hack dealing with older as well as newer versions:
if (/MSIE (\d+\.\d+);/.test(navigator.userAgent)){ //test for MSIE x.x
var ieversion=new Number(RegExp.$1) // capture x.x portion and store as a number
if (ieversion>=9) {
document.getElementById(LL_infoID[m_section]).style.opacity=’1′;
}
else {
document.getElementById(LL_infoID[m_section]).style.filter=’alpha(opacity=100)’;
}
}

I also had to adjust the following in the php.ini then it worked
upload_max_filesize = 128M
Default was 2M

Comment on Oracle Calls It MINUS, PostgreSQL Calls It EXCEPT by Scott Clancy

Thanks for the info. I tried this but the results were the same as if I had used NOT IN and encountered a NULL – i.e, it acted as though the ‘expression’ was false

sed, as shipped with many OS installs, doesn’t work with escaped characters, so it can’t be used for many cases.

Comment on Making IE Accept File Downloads by Joel

Sorry, I should have mentioned that it worked before but it doesn’t now…
It works on my manager’s laptop with his parasite-browser (sorry I don’t know what else to call it – I believe this “browser” uses the IE-engine but runs its own interface)…

& yes my default browser is IE (& I thought that would help…)

Thanks in advance for anyone who’s giving this some thought.
& since I don’t know much about coding, I thought this “might be part of the puzzle”.

Cheers.
