I'm seeing conflicting references in Oracles documentation. Is there any difference between how decimals are stored in a FLOAT and a NUMBER types in the database? As I recall from C, et al, a float has accuracy limitations that an int doesn't have. R.g., For 'float's, 0.1(Base 10) is approximated as 0.110011001100110011001101(Base 2) wh...
In my application i have double (or float) variables that might be "empty", as in holding no valid value. How can i represent this condition with the built in types float and double? One option would be a wrapper that has a float ad a boolean, but that can´t work, as my libraries have containers that store doubles and not objects that b...
Hi All, I keep finding that if I have nested divs inside each other, and one of the inner ones is floated, the outer one won't expand around it. Example: <div style='background-color:red; '> asdfasdf <div style='float:left; background-color:blue; width:400px; height:400px;'> asdfasdfasdfasdfasdfasdfasdf<br /> a...
I have been banging my head on this one all day. The C++ project I am currently working on has a requirement to display an editable value. The currently selected digit displays the incremented value above and decremented value below for said digit. It is useful to be able to reference the editable value as both a number and collection...
Hi folks, I'm doing some really simple math and saving the result to a MS SQL2008 DB. I'm averaging out the some numbers, which are byte values between 1<->5. I wish to record probably 2 decimal places only. I don't care about rounding for the 2nd decimal place (eg. a 1.155 == 1.5 or 1.6 .. i'm not too phased). So .. should i store th...
I have the following HTML <div> <img id="image1" src="http://valleywag.com/assets/resources/2008/03/BlackGoogleLogo.jpg" alt="Why doesn't this float correcly?" style="border-width: 0px; float: left;" /> <div id="divText" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px;" cla...
On the page http://tesselaar.com/gallery/ I have a heading (level 1) at the top of the page "Photo Gallery" that doesn't display in IE7 and I can't work out why. It follows the same CSS and page-structure as the rest of the site, the only difference being there is an element being floated to the right immediately after. Any insight wou...
I have a div called NAV and inside of NAV I have an UL with 5 li which I float to the left, the li's that is but when I do that the NAV collapses. I know this because I put a border around NAV to see if it collapses and it does. Here is the example. as you can see in the first image, the links in the NAV div are floated left and th...
This should be simple - In python, how can I parse a numeric string like "545.2222" to its corresponding float value, 542.2222 or "31" to an integer, 31? EDIT: I just wanted to know how to parse a float string to a float, and (separately) an int string to an int. Sorry for the confusing phrasing/original examples on my part. At any r...
I've just come to think about this issue which really hasn't bothered me at all since everything works just fine. Anyway, what does the community think about the following: Say I have textboxes, dropdownlists and submit buttons. They are all inline-elements. Which means that "officially" margin, padding, width and height properties shou...
I've got a record management web application which displays a master record on one screen and AJAXes dynamically built editors into an editor div, which I've used JQuery to make draggable. That works. Even though the div isn't a window, I thought it might be a nice idea to make it act a bit more like one, so I coded in a "close" button....
This is different than the simple 2 column layout. I need to have this html: <div class="menu"> <div class="right">One</div> <div>Three</div> <div>Four</div> <div class="right">Two</div> <div class="right">Two</div> <div>Four</div> <div class="right">Two</div> </div> The div class menu has a static width, ...
I've been running into a presentation issue with Internet Explorer. The following simple block of code renders as I would expect it to in Safari, FireFox, Chrome, and Opera. However it results in a noticeable space between the left and right floated DIV elements in both IE6 and IE7. My question is: Is there a more correct way to achie...
I am working on an old database I inherited from my predecessors. In it, some float fields contains NaN where there should be a null. The following SQL doesn't work because it doesn't recognize NaN. UPDATE xxx SET column= null WHERE column=NaN How can I do this? ...
I want a to be rounded to 13.95 >>> a 13.949999999999999 >>> round(a, 2) 13.949999999999999 The round function does not work [the way I expect]. ...

In the top right, a 2 line sign up for newsletter field--copy top row and form field with submit bottom in the second I've given each it's own Div tag but can't see t...
The following code renders great in FF3 but doesn't work in IE7. Does anyone have an idea how to fix it? <div style="padding-top:3px;padding-bottom:5px;width:650px;background:blue"> <div style="height:50px;float:left;display:inline;width:500px;background:gray">http://www.brainsolis.com/2008/10/twitter-tools-for-comunity-and-love-for...
I have a page with multiple charts in a grid like format as follows: [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] Each chart is displayed in a wrapper with "float:left" and the div the charts are in has "overflow: auto". This gives the desired layout wrapping the charts to screen width: The problem ...
I've got four div elements floated to the left. The third div is cleared. In Firefox and Chrome the elements are positioned as expected: The first and second divs are adjacent to each other and are above the third and fourth divs which are also adjacent to each other. IE7 on the other hand places the fourth div adjacent to the first and ...
