Help with collapsible/expandable menus

I am creating a webpage with collapsible/expandable menus and am having problems with ones of the menus (the menus I am talking about are labelled as BlackBerry, Smartphone, etc). When I open the webpage, I want the collapsible menus to be closed until you click on the header image, but one of them always opens automatically. Please see the webpage I am working on, www.scomputing.com/mobility.html ... I am having problems with the 'Superphone' menu.

You need to add - $('.Superphones_Table').hide(); - to the scripts.js file (see below)
$(document).ready(function(){
                          $('.Ultimate_Webhosting_Package_Table').hide();
                          $('.Free_Webhosting_Table').hide();
                          $('.Ecommerce_Webhosting_Table').hide();
                          $('.BlackBerry_Table').hide();
                          $('.Smartphone_Table').hide();
                          $('.Superphones_Table').hide();
                          $('.Phones_Table').hide();

Help with an expanding table on a form

I currently use a form as a photo log for tracking the image number and a photo description. The form was created in MS Word. I would like to create this form using LiveCycle Designer and have tried a few things but nothing works the way I would like it to. The photo log is a table with two columns and a header row. The table expands (by using the TAB key) the number of rows commensurate with the number of photos entered. The columns are for a photo number and a photo description. I would like to be able to create this in LIveCycle so that it works as easily as the MS word doc does (as far as expanding the rows). I've checked on this forum and cannot find any help topics or threads that match my specific needs. can anyone offer some insight as to how to solve the problem? I thank you in advance for your assistance.
Jim

You'll need an "exit" event for the last line in your table. You'll need to check to be sure that it isn't empty, and that it's the last line. Then after you add the line (if necessary) you'l need to set the focus back to the first column in the new line.
Bonus: You'll probably want to be able to have the code check to see if a line is empty (and not the last line) so that you don't have a bunch of empty lines.
If you'd like some code help, PM me what you're starting with.

Help with DW layers/menus

Hi,
I am having a time trying to get the Dreamweaver rollover
function with layers to work in creating webpage menus that you can
rollover and hyperlink to. The page I am working on is at
http://anne.swva.net/pcof/ ,
and if you scroll over Worship you can see what I mean...on rollout
it disappears without any time to select a hyperlink subpage (not
linked yet.)
An example of the page I need it to work like is
http://www.greenadvantage.org
, and any of the top bar menu items there.
I am working in Dreamweaver 4, and this is for a non profit,
a local church. Any help is appreciated!

Hi,
Note the show/hides on the images above and below the Worship
image,
note too the new layer ('closer' - you might want to give it
a temporary
background colour so that you can better see what is
happening - remove
the background colour when you have an understanding) which
also has
show/hides attached - anyway.....
try this - in code view replace everything with this....

Help with collapsible panel in DW

I created a collapsible panel on my webpage and it's on-load state (when you open it in a browser and/or refresh the page) is open, meaning when I first open the page or refresh it the panel is open. I would like for it to be closed (in the on-load state. When you intially open the page in a browser) so that the visitor can just see the small tab and click on it if they choose to do so. My collapsible panel that I used is the standard one in Dreamweaver. Here's a link to my files (note: the one you want to pull up is: indextest.html and/or abouttest.html (either work) and SpryCollapsiblePanel.js): http://www.test.ashleysperrydesigns.com/
Thanks for the help in advanced.

Help with pop-up menus specific to JText Fields

hello,
I am somewhat new to the popup menu aspect of java and so I was wondering how I can implement one popup menu to multiple and specificJTextFields.
What I am looking for is a way that a menu selection can use information specific to the JTextField where the user clicked.
I have tried this already but I have a problem where one selection in a given textfield will spread it to all the textfields with mouselisteners.
Any help would be most appreciated!

I am somewhat new to the popup menu aspect of java...So create a simple program to test how you think it should work. If it doesn't work, then you have some code to post on the forum so we can see exactly what you are doing. Something like:
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.text.*;
public class PopupTest extends JFrame implements MouseListener
     JPopupMenu popup;
     public PopupTest()
          popup = new JPopupMenu();
          popup.add( new DefaultEditorKit.CutAction() );
          popup.add( new DefaultEditorKit.CopyAction() );
          popup.add( new DefaultEditorKit.PasteAction() );
          JTextField textField = new JTextField("Right Click For Popup");
          textField.addMouseListener( this );
          getContentPane().add(textField);
     private void checkForPopup(MouseEvent e)
          if (e.isPopupTrigger())
               popup.show(e.getComponent(), e.getX(), e.getY());
     public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e)
          checkForPopup( e );
     public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent e)
          checkForPopup( e );
     public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) {}
     public void mouseEntered(MouseEvent e) {}
     public void mouseExited(MouseEvent e) {}
     public static void main(String[] args)
          JFrame frame = new PopupTest();
          frame.setDefaultCloseOperation( JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE );
          frame.pack();
          frame.setLocationRelativeTo( null );
          frame.show();
}

Need help with pop up menus...

Hi guys, hope u can help me with this. Im working on a flash
website. I have to include a pop up menu which I have managed to
create no problem. However, when I try to make the buttons inside
the pop up to change to another scene when clicked I cant get them
to work. This is the code I've used:
on (release) {
_root.gotoAndStop("Student_area","tests");
I have defined the action to go to the frame labeled "tests"
in the "Student_area" scene as I have been told in a tutorial I
have. However when I test it and click on it nothing happens. I
have tried many variations such as simply telling it to take me to
the students scene like I would do with a normal button but still
nothing happens.
What am I doing wrong?
Hope someone can help me, gotta submit this soon.
Thanks in advance.

My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now. About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

Help with images in Spry menus

I need help making this work: I want my menu buttons and
submenu buttons to be images rather than text. I've been able to
set it up to use different images for each of the main and
sub-level buttons, but only for the active state. I cannot figure
out how to use a different set of "hover images" for the hover
state. Note-- Each button and submenu button in the entire menu are
different images, so I suspect I need to use different ID's for
each, but I am not sure how to set that up in the
SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css file for each different button in, at
least, the active and hover states. Can anyone offer some help with
this?:

V1 - Thank you for the suggestion, but this does not exactly
solve my dilemma. In its simplest terms, this is what I want to do:
Create a single drop-down menu where there is "Item 1" with
submenus "Item 1.1", "Item 1.2", and "Item 1.3". But, I want to use
different images for each item and subitem in their Active and
Hover states. So, in this example, there would be 8 different
images... An Active and a Hover image for each of Item 1, Item 1.1,
Item 1.2 and Item 1.3.

Help with exporting and image size or boundaries?

I am trying to slide the cat into the scene a little at a time foir an animation project I am working on. However, when I export the image the back ground of the image expands with a checkered back ground( showing here in white) and shows the whole cat.
How do I just show a little of the cat on the image at a time when exporting. I am trying to give the impression that the cat is walking into the room. I do not want to have to cut the cat up.
I would be thankful for any suggestions.

Provide the name of the program you are using so a Moderator may move this message to the correct program forum
This Cloud forum is not about help with program problems... a program would be Photoshop or Lighroom or Muse or ???

Hello, actionscript experts,
Please, help me, if you have the time. The company that I am doing some flash design work for, bought a template, from templatemonster.com. The template ID that they purchased, is 20643. I usually work more on the design/creative side, but I know a little of simple actionscript. Although, I can not figure out why this is not working, after some simple modifications. I believe that it is an issue with the actionscript, somewhere, in the "pages2/sub_menu2" part or somewhere, in the "pages2/gall_main2" part, in the .fla file. I am 99.99% finished with this site and I would greatly appreciate any of your help, in any way, possible. This site is currently online, for you to view, at your earliest convenience.
http://www.pbsjbuzz.tv/site_flash
NOTE: (Additional Information):
Sorry, about so much info!
This template originally came with 4 main menus (PORTFOLIO / ABOUT US / OUR NEWS / CONTACT US).
The PORTFOLIO section has 3 submenu links (INTERIOR / LANDSCAPE / ANIMALS).
I changed the 3 submenu links from, (INTERIOR / LANDSCAPE / ANIMALS), to (AVIATION / EDUCATION / FEDERAL).
Those work fine.
Now, I have added 4 additional submenu links. (LEISURE SERVICES / SUSTAINABLE DESIGN / TRANSIT / ARCHITECTURE ENGINEERING).
So, I now have a total of 7 links, within the PORTFOLIO section, named (AVIATION / EDUCATION / FEDERAL / LEISURE SERVICES / SUSTAINABLE DESIGN / TRANSIT / ARCHITECTURE ENGINEERING).
My first 3 links work perfect, but the other (4-7) links are not working, correctly.
They seem to link to the correct category, but do not load correct image, until you click on a thumbnail, then the big image loads, as it is supposed to do, but the thumbnails still have the wrong images loaded.
I have checked every word for word of the actionscript, but I still can not figure this out.
I believe that this is a simple solution, surely consisting of only 1 letter, word or sentence of code being wrong, somewhere, in the actionscript, within the flash (fla) file. I have the files, available to download, if anyone willing to help me needs them.
Thank you, for all of your help.

In the main .fla file, this actionscript, is on the first frame:
Stage.align = "MC";
Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";
url = "tfile";
_root.cacheKiller="true";
import gs.dataTransfer.XMLParser;
function onFinish(success_boolean, results_obj, xml) { //This fhunction gets called as soon as the XML loads and gets parsed.
if (success_boolean) {
//trace (1);
play();
stop();
var parsed_obj = {}; //We'll use this to hold the parsed xml object (once the XML loads and gets parsed successfully).
var unCash= new Date().getTime();
if (_root.cacheKiller=="true") {
fileToLoad=url+"_main.xml?cacheKiller="+unCash;
fileToLoad=url+"_main.xml";
else {
fileToLoad=url+"_main.xml";
XMLParser.load(fileToLoad, onFinish, parsed_obj);
_root.emp.useHandCursor = 0;
///forplayer
_root.mus = 1;
_root.n = 1;
_root.num = 1;
In the main .fla file, this actionscript, is on the second frame:
import gs.dataTransfer.XMLParser;
function onFinish(success_boolean, gallery_obj, xml) { //This fhunction gets called as soon as the XML loads and gets parsed.
if (success_boolean) {
play();
//system settings
// frame number where readMore movieClip is situated
pagesReadMoreFrame=5;
// frame number of the first content page
firstPageFrame=1;
//system settings
#include "gs/dataTransfer/xmlFunctions.as"
//_root.link=_root.getMenuSystemOrder(0);
In the main .fla file, this actionscript, is on the third frame:
import mx.transitions.Tween;
import mx.transitions.easing.*;
function pic_movs(my_x) {
var name1:MovieClip = _root.pages.gall.gall.thumbs;
myTween = new Tween(name1, "_x", Strong.easeInOut, name1._x, my_x, 25, false);
When the "PORTFOLIO" page loads, this actionscript, is on the first frame:
_root.main_gall_num=1;
_root.gall_num=1;
item1.gotoAndStop(15);
Each "sub_menu" link (AVIATION / EDUCATION / FEDERAL / LEISURE SERVICES / SUSTAINABLE DESIGN / TRANSIT / ARCHITECTURE ENGINEERING), has this actionscript, on each link, the only difference is the num = 1 (AVIATION), has num = 2 (EDUCATION), num = 3 (FEDERAL), etc, etc, through num = 7, for (ARCHITECTURE ENGINEERING):
onClipEvent (load) {
num = 1;
this.title1.gotoAndStop(num);
this.title2.gotoAndStop(num);
on (rollOver) {
if (_root.main_gall_num<>num) {
this.gotoAndPlay("s1");
on (releaseOutside, rollOut) {
if (_root.main_gall_num<>num) {
this.gotoAndPlay(_totalframes-_currentframe);
on (release) {
if (_root.main_gall_num<>num and _root.gall_animation == 1) {
_root.gall_animation = 0;
_parent["item"+_root.main_gall_num].gotoAndPlay("s2");
_root.main_gall_num = num;
_parent.gall.play();
In the section where the photos load, each frame has a different category of photos that loads on that frame.
The actionscript, on frame 1, is:
_root.gall_num=1;
Then, frame 2 has:
_root.gall_num=2;
frame 3 has:
_root.gall_num=3;
frame 4 has:
_root.gall_num=4;
frame 5 has:
_root.gall_num=5;
frame 6 has:
_root.gall_num=6;
frame 7 has:
_root.gall_num=7;
I added all of the extra images, to the xml file.
The original xml file came with only 3 categories, of images (12 small and 12 big, in each category).

did u try something like that :
for (var iii:uint=1; iii<5; iii++) {
root["item"+iii].addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,
mover1);
root["item"+iii].addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT,
itemOut1);
root["item"+iii].addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER,
itemOver1);
root["item"+iii].buttonMode=true;
}

Help with Facebook and Social Media wigets (Was: How do I fix the three probs that...)

I am having problems with the facebook or social media widgets. I would like the link to send viewers to my facebook business page, but when testing it shows my pic and a 'switch' sign (see screen shot) and when I open the site the message is as the other screenshot, great, but I don't know where to find which 'asset' is the problem and why. Also why bother having child pages if the menu doesn't reflect that? I see that drop down menus are an issue, also with some other forum members.
Thanks for any help offered!, I think I have solved the first problem now but still would appreciate any help with the other 2!
For some reason the facebook widget now loads the correct page, and I give up about the drop down menu, hopefully this will be addressed in the next update of Muse??

Hello,
For the "asset" issue, try locating the asset in the assets panel. It should have an icon like this: http://jingsite.businesscatalyst.com/jing/2013-12-16_0917.png
For the child pages in the menus issue, go to the menu options (by clicking the small blue arrow in the right top corner of the menu), and then change the menu type to "All Pages" instead of "Top Level Pages".
Hope this helps.

Need help with almost completed plugin engine project

Hi all,
For a while now I have been working on a plugin engine. After a few iterations, the engine is similar to the Eclipse engine, in that plugins use extension points and extensions to allow contributions. Unlike the eclipse engine I have added the ability for plugins to fire events through the engine and other plugins can add listeners, all through the plugin.xml manifest. Dependencies are mostly handled automatically at plugin load time (when extensions get resolved to extension points, and listeners get resolved to events). For the case where a plugin needs to use classes from another plugin, dependencies are also allowed to be declared. Like the eclipse engine, activation of plugins occurs the first time a class is used within the plugin's classpath, OR a plugin can be activated after it is loaded.
What I need help with is testing, working on examples to provide with the engine project, and feedback/suggestions before we release the M1 build. I am asking for those that are interested in this type of work to volunteer to help where applicable and possible. I want to provide a solid plugin engine to the java community, one that is easy to use, works well, and is pretty effecient in terms of resource usage and performance.
Of particular interest to me right at the moment is dealing with multiple versions. As I see it, the engine will be used within an application and as such plugins would be distributed with a specific application version. The plugin version itself is more of a notification as to what version a plugin is, although I imagine it will help when updating at runtime as well.
Just a few other details of the engine. It handles (or will soon) dynamic load, unload and reload of plugins at runtime. Plugins can be distributed in an archive file format, we call .par (Plugin ARchive), with additional plugin filename extensions configurable at runtime. The plugins can be developed and deployed in an expanded directory format as they are in Eclipse as well, or in the archive format. In the archive format they do not need to be unzipped when deployed, and they can contain embeded jar/zip libraries. The engine handles finding and creating classes directly out of the .par file at runtime.
Multiple locations to find plugins are configurable before the engine starts, and even after it starts more could be added to allow additional locations to find plugins. URLs are supported, and soon the HTTP protocol will be supported so that plugins can be downloaded and installed at runtime.
The project can be found at www.sourceforge.net/projects/genpluginengine. If you would like to get involved and help out, please sign up on the dev mail list and send an email to introduce yourself to the rest of the members on the list.
I'll also add that I am working on a Swing UI Framework built entirely from plugins. It provides a ready-to-launce UI application that developers can simply add their plugins to, extending various extension points of the framework to have menu items, toolbar buttons, status bar access, help and preferences dialog additions, file i/o choosers, tons of open-source components ready to use (or extend to add on to), and like Eclipse, hopefully... draggable window frames that can be dropped on any other frame to form a tabbed frame of windows. Some of this is a ways off, some is getting there now. Presently you can add menu items that do allow plugin activation when first clicked, so plugins can be loaded but not activated until needed. The Preference dialog works but is not completed, and a plugin that adds a plugin control panel to view all loaded plugins, activate them, load/unload/reload, view extension points, extensions, dependencies, etc is partially completed. The point is, to allow a ready to run UI framework in Swing with an easy path for developers to quickly build applications with. If you are interested in this, when you join the mail list and introduce yourself, indicate that you are interested in this as well, as we need help with plugin development for it and would appreciate more help here too.
Look forward to some replies.

Might I suggest setting up a project at a known project-site? I've seen your progress and questions posted here from time to time, but one of the drawbacks is that you have to fill each post with the entirity of your vision to explain what you're doing. That's a lot of text to read - and most folks will skip right over it.
On the other hand, a well-crafted, good-looking project web-site, with appropriate links and docs and vision statements, diagrams, etc. will have more likelyhood of attracting volunteers. java.net and sourceforge.net are likely spots to set up shop. In addition, you get CVS and bug-tracking systems, which can be quite valuable in such a large-scale project where there are lots of pieces.

Help with message please: Warning: mysql_free_result() expects parameter 1 to be resource, null given in...... line

I would really appreciate some help with my search & results page that is now throwing up the following error:
Warning: mysql_free_result() expects parameter 1 to be resource, null given in...... line (the line number refers to the following code:
mysql_free_result($RSsearchforsale);
mysql_free_result($RsSearchForSale2);
mysql_free_result($RsSearchForSale3);
mysql_free_result($RsSearchForSale4);
I am new to php and am setting up a dynamic site in Dreamweaver (thanks to the Missing Manual – very helpful). I apologise in advanced for my lengthy description of the problem (perhaps get yourself a drink before continuing!)
I have a Search page with 4 list menus where the user can select an option from ANY or ALL of the menus, if a menu is not selected the value posted to the results page will be 'zzz'.
On the results page I have 4 recordsets, all getting the correct results, only one recordset is required to run depending on how many of the menus from the search page have been selected and a test is run before executing the sql using a SWITCH statement checking how many of the menus had passed the 'zzz' values from the Search page if you see what I mean. The results page has Repeating Regions, Recordset Paging and Display Record Count. The exact result that I require are generated by this method.
THE PROBLEM, when a user makes a selection the first page of 10 results is fine, but the error message above is shown at the bottom of the page, AND when the user clicks NEXT to go to the next page of results THERE ARE NO RESULTS.
This is exactly what happens depending on how many menus selected and which recordset is used:
4 menus selected from Search: runs RSsearchforsale, results correct but 3 error messages on 1st page relating to mysql_free_result($RsSearchForSale2),mysql_free_result($RsSearchForSale3), & mysql_free_result($RsSearchForSale4). The display record count shows correct results found. NEXT page is empty of results and still shows the correct display record count as if it should be displaying the records, also has the same 3 error messages.
3 menus selected from Search: runs RsSearchForSale2, results correct but 3 error messages on 1st page relating to mysql_free_result($RSsearchforsale),mysql_free_result($RsSearchForSale3), & mysql_free_result($RsSearchForSale4). The display record count shows correct number of results. NEXT page shows results from the DEFAULT setting of the recordset and the Display record count reflects this new set of results. Also still shows the 3 mysql_free_results for RsSearchForSale2, 3 and 4.
2 menus selected from Search: runs   RsSearchForSale3, results correct but 2 error messages on 1st page relating to mysql_free_result($RSsearchforsale) & mysql_free_result (RsSearchForSale4). The display record count is correct. NEXT page does exactly the same as described in above 3 menus selected.
1 menu selected from search: runs RsSearchForSale4, results correct but 1 error meaasge on 1st page, mysql_free_result($RSsearchforsale). Display record count is correct and again when NEXT page is selected does as described in above where 2 or 3 menus selected.
If you have gotten this far without falling asleep then thank you and well done! I have pasted my code below and I know its a lot to ask but please please can you give me an idea as to where or why I have gone wrong. I felt I was so close at perfecting this search and have been working on it for weeks now. I feel sure the problem is because I have 4 recordsets on the page but I could find no other way to get the exact results I wanted from the menus.
Looking forward to any help.

Hi David,
Thank you for your reply and patience, we are getting closer in spite of me!
Of course i needed to change the name of the recordset, i did that the first time i did it (when i got the error), the when i re did it i forgot, in my defense i was also trying to get a full understanding of the code using the W3Schools php reference and writing by the side of the code on a piece of paper what it meant in English.
Anyway after re doing the code correctly it still displayed all the records of my database but i realised that was because i was POSTING from the search form and when i changed it to the GET method I now get results when all 4 list menus are selected from and the paging works. After reading about the POST / GET method i chose the POST option, is the GET method a better option in my circumstance?
On my site now if the user selects from 1,2 or 3 of the menus rather than selecting the relevant records it displays the NO RESULT page, I would like my users to be able to select from all of the menus or ANY combination of the menus and find exact results for their search, for example if they only select a location and a price i want it display all records that match that location and price with any number of bedrooms and any Type of property: Perhaps this is due to how my list menus are set up, for each menu the first Item label is Location (or Beds or Type or Price) and the value i have left blank which i believe means that it will use the item label as the value, the second Item label for all menus is Any and again the value has been left blank. All other item labels have values relevant to database records.
I do look forward to your reply and cannot thank you enough for following this through with me, please continue to bare with me just a little more,
best regards
Tessimon

You're not adding the WHERE clause to the SQL query. My example code uses $query_search. You need to change that variable to match the name of your recordset, i.e. $query_RSsearchforsale.
Moreover, the WHERE clause needs to go before ORDER BY.
$query_RSsearchforsale = "SELECT trueprice,`desc`, `propid`, `bathrooms`, `location`, `type`, `price`, `beds`, `photo1`, locationtable.loc, typetable.style, bedtable.`number` FROM detailstable JOIN locationtable ON detailstable.location=locationtable.locid JOIN typetable ON detailstable.type=typetable.typeid JOIN pricetable ON detailstable.price=pricetable.priceid JOIN bedtable ON detailstable.beds=bedtable.bedid ";
// Set a flag to indicate whether the query has a WHERE clause
$where = false;
// Loop through the associatiave array of expected search values
foreach ($expected as $var => $type) {
if (isset($_GET[$var])) {
    $value = trim(urldecode($_GET[$var]));
    if (!empty($value)) {
      // Check if the value begins with > or <
      // If so, use it as the operator, and extract the value
      if ($value[0] == '>' || $value[0] == '<') {
        $operator = $value[0];
        $value = ltrim(substr($value, 1));
      } elseif (strtolower($type) != 'like') {
        $operator = '=';
      // Check if the WHERE clause has been added yet
      if ($where) {
        $query_RSsearchforsale .= ' AND ';
      } else {
        $query_RSsearchforsale .= ' WHERE ';
        $where = true;
      // Build the SQL query using the right operator and data type
      $type = strtolower($type);
      switch($type) {
        case 'like':
          $query_RSsearchforsale .= "`$var` LIKE " . GetSQLValueString('%' .
$value . '%', "text");
          break;
        case 'int':
        case 'double':
        case 'date':
          $query_RSsearchforsale .= "`$var` $operator " .
GetSQLValueString($value, "$type");
          break;
        default:
        $query_RSsearchforsale .= "`$var` = " . GetSQLValueString($value,
"$type");
$query_RSsearchforsale .= ' ORDER BY detailstable.trueprice ASC';
