Coding and Sleeping

I expect that iMom will keep you under iMom's wing. iMom will not let you fly, but iMom might let you sing.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Also, Apple will license a Laurie Anderson song for the commercials....

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I have an Excel spreadsheet currently formatted 90% from where I want it. Is there an easy way to turn a column into a row? (i.e., right now I want the values in column A to be the values in row 2, and the values in column B to be the values in row 1.)

Hey. New board.

You can copy and paste-special with the "Transpose" option checked. You'll need to clear out the destination space first (by moving things around or whatever).

OK, I am having a weird asp/browser error I can't figure out.

eta: Nebber mind.

I was sure there wasn't client-side Javascript that modified that button. Sure but wrong.

Relatedly, has anyone seen a case where the html source (on the client) is not accurate?

Not accurate, how? I've noticed that if you're viewing an ajaxified site with Firefox, viewing the page source will give you different results from selecting some text and viewing the selection source. The former gives you what the page would look like when you reload it, while the latter gives you its current state.

Not accurate in that I screwed up (see post 10137). Like you said, if you use client-side Javascript to, say, modify the properties of some HTML object, the "view source" option (on IE) will still show you the way things were when the page first loaded, not how they currently are.

Also, what exactly is Ajax? If it just means updating info on the client (using Javascript and XML) by making calls to the server without reloading the entire client page, then we've been using Ajax for eight years.

That's what I meant by ajax, but I think the word is often (mis)used in a way that does not mean what they think it means.
