Margin and padding values

Hi,
Do we need to specifically state the margin and padding
property in EACH selector although its value is zero?
(**I know that if they are not stated, default values will be
used and they can be varied differently from browsers to browsers.)
So, how can I simplify the process other than using grouped
selectors?
Thanks for any help!!!

If you *want* it to be zero, then you must state it to be so.
* { margin:0; padding:0; }
will set the margin/padding to zero on every page element.

Unable to set margins or padding

Margins and Padding do not work for pictures, or Shapes, or anything that I can tell.
Can you help me understand how to configure Padding and margins?
Or do i need to fast create wiht Muse and export to Dreamweaver or Expression?

Zak,
Thanks for your reply.
I am trying to create an landing (Home) page that has a single photo below the heading and above the footer and stays vertically centered as the browser size is changed.
My basic problem is really that I can find a place to set margins and padding, but the objects in Muse do not act like divs, and the margin and padding settings are unavailable.

Please help with margins and tags

Hope someone can help with a sudden problem I’m having with tags and margins. Out of the blue it seems Dreamweaver wants to create a margin between two <div’s,> but only if a tag is applied to the text, such as <p><h1><h2> etc. Here’s an example; Say at the top of the page you have a <div> named “header,” below it there’s a <div> named “content.” So far no problem, but as soon as I put text in the “content” <div> and give the text a tag, the “content <div> drops roughly 25 – 30px below the “header” <div> leaving a margin. To make it even stranger; If I were to insert an image into the “content” <div> first, then the text, it behaves as normal. I’m just baffled; if anyone has an answer it would be greatly appreciated.

That did it, thank you so much!
It's still just a bit of a mystery why it suddenly started doing this, guess I’ll just have to strip that code in manually from now on, unless you have the answer on how to have it default to a margin and padding of 0.
Anyway, thank you for your help.

0 margins and 0 padding still not displaying correctly in Internet Explorer

Hi I have designed a page for my site that works perfectly in safari and firefox but of course in internet explorer it doesn't. The content under the slideshow is meant to line up with the edge of the slideshow. This is the linkhttp://www.kimberleywebdesign.com.au/Links.html.
The divs and the tags within them, have 0 margins and 0 padding with the exception of top and bottom padding, so even if internet explorer doubled my margins - double nothing is nothinng ?? I am trying to understand why the problem occurred?

My understanding is that IE misinterprets text-align:center in the #wrapper div.
Change:
#wrapper {
width:48.75em;/*780px*/
margin: 0 auto;
text-align:left;}
to
#wrapper {
width:48.75em;/*780px*/
margin: 0 auto;
text-align:center;}
Then add text-align: left to each div where the text needs to be left aligned
e.g.
#portfolio {
margin:0 auto;
padding:2em 0 0 0;
width:680px;
text-align:left}
and so on. Worked OK for me in IE8.
See: http://www.andybudd.com/archives/2004/02/css_crib_sheet_3_centering_a_div/
Add this tip, taken from the link above, for good measure:
"This gets IE up to scratch. However this is the step I always forget. In Mozilla, if you reduce the size of the browser window, half of your centred div hangs off the left of the page. This is an odd one, but I've been reliably informed that it's the correct behaviour. To prevent this, just set a min-width on the body tag."

SOLVED What benifits are there to Blank Padding values in a DB?

I was witting some SQL last week and got really frustrated when I couldn't figure out why my joins were not working from on DB to another. I eventually found that there where blanks tagged on to the end of all of the values of one of the columns I was joining. I knew right off how to take care of the problem (RTRIM), but I found myself wonder today why this practice exists. Google couldn't really answer my question so I turn to you guys.
What is the purpose or reason behind blank padding values in a DB?
My assumption of course is that the creator of the DB I'm working with actually did have a purpose, but I was informed by my coworker that they didn't deserve that level of credit. LOL. Still, if the feature or option exists there must be a reason.
Thanks for your help,
David

Can't imagine why they are right padded, though. Left
padded could be explained.My bad, for a moment I thougth CHARs got left padded, when they are in fact right padded.
create table t (c char(3));
insert into t values ('X');
commit;
select dump(c) from t;

CSS borders and padding

I have a CSS stylesheet (external) that defines a border for an image. I have a:link, a:visited, a:hover, a:active defined with padding. However there is a huge difference when I preview the page in IE7 vs IE8. IE8 renders the page like Firefox, Safari, Opera, and Chrome (I haven't tried a couple of the Mac browsers yet like Camino and Flock because I am authoring on a WIndows box, but I believe they will render the same as Firefox latest version).
Now, how can I get IE7 and IE8 to render the same? Basically IE7 puts a huge border at the top of the image pad. The image is 300x300pixels and my padding-top is set to 340pixels while padding is set to 20pixels. IE7 computes the padding as a 300 pixel margin at the top of the image while IE8 needs that large padding-top number to complete the box around the image and doesn't give an excessive border.

Copy & paste code below into a new blank HTML document (code view).
This is how my linked image displays in Safari, IE6 and FF3x. Border is 5px solid yellow and padding is 20px all around. I don't need conditional comments for IE.

Finding x and y values of a Line Chart

Hi,
For instance, I had a line chart with x and y axis. When I move mouse to the line chart how can I determine x and y axis values? With mouseMoved metod i can find the coordinates but coordinates doesn't help me to find x and y values of the line chart.
How can I find x and y values of a Line Chart?
Thanks in advance

Translate from model to view and back. Another way to do this is to create an
AffineTransform for the modelToView and use it to transform the points. Create an inverse
transform to use in the viewToModel method. Add a ComponentListener and reset the transforms
in the componentResized method to keep them updated.

Table for quotation 'contribution margin' and 'net margin'

Hi Guys,
I need to see the contribution margin and net margin of header level of sales quotation.I am not able to trace the table,in which it is stored.Please let me know what table is used to store these values...

Hi,
The Main Quotation data is stored in VBAK(Header) and VBAP(Item) tables with document type as AG.
VBAK-
Do you see 'contribution margin' and 'net margin' in the CONDITIONS tab your header ? If yes then , take the condition types against which they appear and then go to KONV table with KNUMV of the Sales Quotation(present in VBAK) and the condition types. You will have the value in KWERT field.

Avoiding null and duplicate values using model clause

Hi,
I am trying to use model clause to get comma seperated list of data : following is the scenario:
testuser>select * from test1;
ID VALUE
1 Value1
2 Value2
3 Value3
4 Value4
5 Value4
6
7 value5
8
8 rows selected.
the query I have is:
testuser>with src as (
2 select distinct id,value
3 from test1
4 ),
5 t as (
6 select distinct substr(value,2) value
7 from src
8 model
9 ignore nav
10 dimension by (id)
11 measures (cast(value as varchar2(100)) value)
12 rules
13 (
14 value[any] order by id =
15 value[cv()-1] || ',' || value[cv()]
16 )
17 )
18 select max(value) oneline
19 from t;
ONELINE
Value1,Value2,Value3,Value4,Value4,,value5,
what I find is that this query has duplicate value and null (',,') coming in as data has null and duplicate value. Is there a way i can avoid the null and the duplicate values in the query output?
thanks,

NULL and Space value in ABAP

Hi All,
I like to know, is it NULL and Space value is same in ABAP, if it is not how to check null value.
Thank you.
Senthil

everything is correct though some answers are not correct.
A Database NULL value represents a field that has never been stored to database - this saving space, potentially.
Usually all SAP tables are stored with all fields, empty fields are stored with their initial value.
But: If a new table append is created and the newly-added fields do not have the 'initial value' marked in table definition, Oracle will just set NULL values for them.
as mentioned: There is no NULL value to be stored in an ABAP field. The IS NULL comparison is valid only for WHERE clause in SELECT statement. WHERE field = space is different from WHERE field IS NULL. That's why you should check for both specially for appended table fields.
If a record is selected (fulfilling another WHERE condition) into an internal table or work area, NULL values are convertted to their initial values anyway.
Hope that sheds some light on the subject!

Clemens

How to differentiate the EMPTY Records and Null Values in DSO

Hello....how is everyone here?? Ehehehe!
I try to load some data from the flat file which contains some EMPTY data and Null Values for the records. The data type for the InfoObjects of the fields "Quantity" is "number". The sample data from the flat file (CSV) are as below:
Food              Quantity
Hamburger -       12
Cheese        -       0
Vegetable      -               (Empty)
When I try to load the above sample data to the DSO, I get the results of the data as follow:
Food              Quantity
Hamburger     - 12.000
Cheese           - 0.000
Vegetable         - 0.000
In this case, how can the user differentiate whether the records is contain empty value of null values in DSO? This is kinda of hard to differentiate the both scenarios above. Is there any way to differentiate the scenarios described here?
Thanks alot =)

Hi Fluffy,
It depends on the initial values of the data type
The inital values For quantity/Currency/ Numbers it takes spaces as 0
for char it is SPACE
We cannot differeniate between space and null values.
IF you have to force this then define quantity as char and load the data. we will not have units and aggregation in this case.
Hope this helps.

From two given tables, how do you fetch the values from two columns using values from one column(get values from col.A if col.A is not null and get values from col.B if col.A is null)?

From two given tables, how do you fetch the values from two columns using values from one column(get values from col.A if col.A is not null and get values from col.B if col.A is null)?

Hi,
Use NVL or COALESCE:
NVL (col_a, col_b)
Returns col_a if col_a is not NULL; otherwise, it returns col_b.
Col_a and col_b must have similar (if not identical) datatypes; for example, if col_a is a DATE, then col_b can be another DATE or it can be a TIMESTAMP, but it can't be a VARCHAR2.
For more about NVL and COALESCE, see the SQL Language manual: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e26088/functions119.htm#sthref1310
I hope this answers your question.
If not, post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements, relevant columns only) for all tables involved, and also post the results you want from that data.
Explain, using specific examples, how you get those results from that data.
Always say which version of Oracle you're using (e.g., 11.2.0.2.0).
See the forum FAQ: https://forums.oracle.com/message/9362002

Union two tables with diffrent count of fields with null and float value

Hello,
i want to union two tables, first one with 3 fields and second one with 4 fields (diffrent count of fields).
I can add null value at end of first select but it does not work with float values in second table. Value form second table is convert to integer.
For example:
select null v1 from sessions
union
select 0.05 v1 from sessions
result is set of null and 0 value.
As workaround i can type:
select null+0.0 v1 from sessions
union
select 0.05 v1 from sessions
or simple change select's order.
Is any better/proper way to do this? Can I somehow set float field type in first select?
Best regards,
Lukasz.
WIN XP, MAXDB 7.6.03

Hi Lukasz,
in a UNION statement the first statement defines the structure (number, names and types of fields) of the resultset.
Therefore you have to define a FLOAT field in the first SELECT statement in order to avoid conversion to VARCHAR.
Be aware that NULL and 0.0 are not the same thus NULL+0.0 does not equal NULL.
In fact NULL cannot equal to any number or character value at all.
BTW: you may want to use UNION ALL to avoid the search and removal of duplicates - looks like your datasets won't contain duplicates anyhow...

Lars
