  • convert divs displaying as row to divs displaying as column

    - by C-Link
    I have as the following divs. Suppose each div is floated left or set display to inline-block. +-----------+ +-----------+ +--------------+ | 1 | | 2 | | | +-----------+ | | | 3 | +-----------+ | | +--------------+ +-----------+ +-----------+ +--------------+ | 4 | | 5 | | | +-----------+ | | | 6 | +-----------+ | | +--------------+ +-----------+ +-----------+ +--------------+ | | | 8 | | 9 | | 7 | +-----------+ | | | | +--------------+ | | +-----------+ I want to achieve like this +-------------+ +-----------+ +-------------+ | 1 | | 4 | | | +-------------+ +-----------+ | 7 | +-------------+ +-----------+ | | | 2 | | 5 | | | | | | | +-------------+ +-------------+ +-----------+ +-------------+ +-------------+ +-----------+ | 8 | | | | | +-------------+ | 3 | | 6 + +-------------+ | | | | | 9 | | | +-----------+ | | +-------------+ +-------------+ I know I can do this by column-wise as this <div class="col1"> <div></div> <div></div> <div></div> </div> <div class="col2"> <div></div> <div></div> <div></div> </div> <div class="col3"> <div></div> <div></div> <div></div> </div> But In my website there more pages like this, so I would like to achieve without touching markup. Is there any idea to perform this with css or any javascript/jquery method?

  • VB - Convert Web Site to Web Application

    - by Dave
    Hi This is my first time doing VB :-) I've inherited a web site, which I've converted into a web application in VS2008. The conversion has worked for everything except a Gallery control. The compile error I'm getting is: Type 'Gallery' is not defined in file: gallery_oct07.aspx.designer.vb Option Strict On Option Explicit On Partial Public Class gallery_oct07 '''<summary> '''Gallery1 control. '''</summary> '''<remarks> '''Auto-generated field. '''To modify move field declaration from designer file to code-behind file. '''</remarks> Protected WithEvents Gallery1 As Global.Gallery End Class with squiggly lines under Global.Gallery. The gallery_oct07.aspx.vb is: Partial Class gallery_oct07 Inherits System.Web.UI.Page End Class Gallery.ascx is: <%@ Control Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" Codebehind="Gallery.ascx.cs" Inherits="WebApplication1.Gallery"%> <asp:Repeater runat="server" ID="rptGallery"> <HeaderTemplate> <ul class='<%#CssClass%>'> </HeaderTemplate> <ItemTemplate> <li><a href='<%#ImageFolder + Eval("Name") %>' class="thickbox" rel="gallery"><img src='<%#ImageFolder + "thumb/" + Eval("Name") %>' /></a></li> </ItemTemplate> <FooterTemplate> </ul></FooterTemplate> </asp:Repeater> and the code behind is: using System; using System.IO; namespace WebApplication1 { public partial class Gallery : System.Web.UI.UserControl { public string _ImageFolder; public string ImageFolder { get { return _ImageFolder; } set { _ImageFolder = value; } } private string _cssClass = "gallery"; public string CssClass { get { return _cssClass; } set { _cssClass = value; } } protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { DirectoryInfo dir = new DirectoryInfo(MapPath(ImageFolder)); FileInfo[] images = dir.GetFiles("*.jpg"); rptGallery.DataSource = images; rptGallery.DataBind(); } protected void Page_PreRender(object sender, EventArgs e) { } } } The feels like a namespace issue.. My project namespace is WebApplication1. Cheers!

  • How to convert a table column to another data type

    - by holden
    I have a column with the type of Varchar in my Postgres database which I meant to be integers... and now I want to change them, unfortunately this doesn't seem to work using my rails migration. change_column :table1, :columnB, :integer So I tried doing this: execute 'ALTER TABLE "table1" ALTER COLUMN "columnB" TYPE integer USING CAST(columnB AS INTEGER)' but cast doesn't work in this instance because some of the column are null... any ideas?

  • Convert Google Analytics cookies to Local/Session Storage

    - by David Murdoch
    Google Analytics sets 4 cookies that will be sent with all requests to that domain (and ofset its subdomains). From what I can tell no server actually uses them directly; they're only sent with __utm.gif as a query param. Now, obviously Google Analytics reads, writes and acts on their values and they will need to be available to the GA tracking script. So, what I am wondering is if it is possible to: rewrite the __utm* cookies to local storage after ga.js has written them delete them after ga.js has run rewrite the cookies FROM local storage back to cookie form right before ga.js reads them start over Or, monkey patch ga.js to use local storage before it begins the cookie read/write part. Obviously if we are going so far out of the way to remove the __utm* cookies we'll want to also use the Async variant of Analytics. I'm guessing the down vote was because I didn't ask a question. DOH! My questions are: Can it be done as described above? If so, why hasn't it been done? I have a default HTML/CSS/JS boilerplate template that passes YSlow, PageSpeed, and Chrome's Audit with near perfect scores. I'm really looking for a way to squeeze those remaining cookie bytes from Google Analytics in browsers that support local storage.

  • Convert InputStream to String with encoding given in stream data

    - by Quentin
    Hi, My input is a InputStream which contains an XML document. Encoding used in XML is unknown and it is defined in the first line of XML document. From this InputStream, I want to have all document in a String. To do this, I use a BufferedInputStream to mark the beginning of the file and start reading first line. I read this first line to get encoding and then I use an InputStreamReader to generate a String with the correct encoding. It seems that it is not the best way to achieve this goal because it produces an OutOfMemory error. Any idea, how to do it ? public static String streamToString(final InputStream is) { String result = null; if (is != null) { BufferedInputStream bis = new BufferedInputStream(is); bis.mark(Integer.MAX_VALUE); final StringBuilder stringBuilder = new StringBuilder(); try { // stream reader that handle encoding final InputStreamReader readerForEncoding = new InputStreamReader(bis, "UTF-8"); final BufferedReader bufferedReaderForEncoding = new BufferedReader(readerForEncoding); String encoding = extractEncodingFromStream(bufferedReaderForEncoding); if (encoding == null) { encoding = DEFAULT_ENCODING; } // stream reader that handle encoding bis.reset(); final InputStreamReader readerForContent = new InputStreamReader(bis, encoding); final BufferedReader bufferedReaderForContent = new BufferedReader(readerForContent); String line = bufferedReaderForContent.readLine(); while (line != null) { stringBuilder.append(line); line = bufferedReaderForContent.readLine(); } bufferedReaderForContent.close(); bufferedReaderForEncoding.close(); } catch (IOException e) { // reset string builder stringBuilder.delete(0, stringBuilder.length()); } result = stringBuilder.toString(); }else { result = null; } return result; } Regards, Quentin

  • Convert date to string upon saving a doctrine record

    - by takteek
    Hi, I'm trying to migrate one of my PHP projects to Doctrine. I've never used it before so there are a few things I don't understand. In my current code, I have a class similar to this: class ScheduleItem { private Date start; //A PEAR Date object. private Date end; public function getStart() { return $this-start; } public function setStart($val) { $this-start = $val; } public function getEnd() { return $this-end; } public function setEnd($val) { $this-end= $val; } } I have a ScheduleItemDAO class with methods like save(), getByID(), etc. When loading from and saving to the database, the DAO class converts the Date objects to and from strings so they can be stored in a timestamp field. In my attempt to move to Doctrine, I created a new class like this: class ScheduleItem extends Doctrine_Record { public function setTableDefinition() { $this-hasColumn('start', 'timestamp'); $this-hasColumn('end', 'timestamp'); } } I had hoped I would be able to use Date objects for the start and end times, and have them converted to strings when they are saved to the database. How can I accomplish this?

  • Convert void* representation of a dword to wstring

    - by graham.reeds
    I am having dumb monday so my apologies for posting such a newbie-like question. I am using CRegKey.QueryValue to return a dword value from the registry. QueryValue writes the value into void* pData and the length into ULONG* pnBytes. Now there is a way of getting it from pData into a wstring probably via stringstream. The closest I came was getting the result as a hex string. I was about to work on converting the hex representation to a dword and then from there to a wstring when I decided that was just dumb and ask on here instead of wasting another hour of my life on the problem.

  • How to convert code to properly release memory

    - by BankStrong
    I've taken over a code base that has subtle flaws - audio player goes mute, unlogged crashes, odd behavior, etc. I found a way to provoke one instance of the problem and tracked it to this code snippet: NSURL *soundURL = [NSURL fileURLWithPath:[[NSBundle mainBundle] pathForResource:[[soundsToPlay objectAtIndex:count] description] ofType:@"mp3"]]; self.audioPlayer = nil; self.audioPlayer = [[AVAudioPlayer alloc] initWithContentsOfURL:soundURL error:nil]; self.audioPlayer.delegate = self; AudioSessionSetActive(YES); [audioPlayer play]; When I comment out the 2nd line (nil) and add a release to the end, this problem stops. [self.audioPlayer release]; Where do I go from here? Nils are used in a similar fashion throughout the code (and may cause similar problems) - is there a safe way to remove them? I'm new to memory management - how can I discern proper nil usage from bad nil usage?

  • Convert image color space and output separate channels in OpenCV

    - by Victor May
    I'm trying to reduce the runtime of a routine that converts an RGB image to a YCbCr image. My code looks like this: cv::Mat input(BGR->m_height, BGR->m_width, CV_8UC3, BGR->m_imageData); cv::Mat output(BGR->m_height, BGR->m_width, CV_8UC3); cv::cvtColor(input, output, CV_BGR2YCrCb); cv::Mat outputArr[3]; outputArr[0] = cv::Mat(BGR->m_height, BGR->m_width, CV_8UC1, Y->m_imageData); outputArr[1] = cv::Mat(BGR->m_height, BGR->m_width, CV_8UC1, Cr->m_imageData); outputArr[2] = cv::Mat(BGR->m_height, BGR->m_width, CV_8UC1, Cb->m_imageData); split(output,outputArr); But, this code is slow because there is a redundant split operation which copies the interleaved RGB image into the separate channel images. Is there a way to make the cvtColor function create an output that is already split into channel images? I tried to use constructors of the _OutputArray class that accepts a vector or array of matrices as an input, but it didn't work.

    We are in need of converting all MS Office documents to PDF, TIF, or any similar image format with no loss in formatting (these are official documents that cannot have tampering). Is there any way to do this without installing Office on the machine that would do this? Ideally, this would go on a server and run multi-threaded without the overhead of Office Automation. Thanks in advance!

  • Python: Convert format string to regular expression

    - by miracle2k
    The users of my app can configure the layout of certain files via a format string. For example, the config value the user specifies might be: layout = '%(group)s/foo-%(locale)s/file.txt' I now need to find all such files that already exist. This seems easy enough using the glob module: glob_pattern = layout % {'group': '*', 'locale': '*'} glob.glob(glob_pattern) However, now comes the hard part: Given the list of glob results, I need to get all those filename-parts that matched a given placeholder, for example all the different "locale" values. I thought I would generate a regular expression for the format string that I could then match against the list of glob results (or then possibly skipping glob and doing all the matching myself). But I can't find a nice way to create the regex with both the proper group captures, and escaping the rest of the input. For example, this might give me a regex that matches the locales: regex = layout % {'group': '.*', 'locale': (.*)} But to be sure the regex is valid, I need to pass it through re.escape(), which then also escapes the regex syntax I have just inserted. Calling re.escape() first ruins the format string. I know there's fnmatch.translate(), which would even give me a regex - but not one that returns the proper groups. Is there a good way to do this, without a hack like replacing the placeholders with a regex-safe unique value etc.? Is there possibly some way (a third party library perhaps?) that allows dissecting a format string in a more flexible way, for example splitting the string at the placeholder locations?
