Having had years of classroom instruction and then working on my own... You'll always be self-taught as nothing you learn in class applies directly. You'll have to abstract what you learned in class to apply it to present day. (You know this but I'm still just pointing it out.) I'd say go for the new one over the old one. But do some research on the content. I'm going to bet that there's about 95% of the old one in the new one. The enemy's gate is down.:cool: Welcome to CP in your language.

That is pretty amazing. Thats a cause I would stand behind, at least I would know waht the money I gave would be used for, unlike all those other 'non profit' companties that seem to have Armani wearing spokespeople. :)

That is pretty common i guess. There was a bit in the news over here a few months ago about how people lie on CV's to get jobs but the truth is you find plenty of employers who lie on job descriptions. Last year i went for an interview for a systems analyst / developer job. From the job description is looked like exactly what i wanted (taking the best bits of what i do now but without the support crap i have to deal with at the moment). I wasnt too surprised when i got an interview because i new i could do it with my eyes shut but i was obviously over the moon. At the interview it very quickly became obvious that the job as advertised simply didnt exist and all it was was another support position (including un-sociable hours) and NONE of that was mentioned in the 3 page job description. I was really pissed off (i had taken my last holiday day to go to the interview) and really let them have it. I thanked them for wasting my time and asked them why they published such a misleading job description (i just left and didnt wait for an answer). It was a permanent position but as far as i know they never filled it so just got a temp to do it. Jon

Well, I guess that happens from time to time when I type directly into Code Project rather than conduct a test first. Which is a good thing to learn: Always test code before releasing it. :-D "On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?'

Like, i can focus on the sore throat that i feel coming on, or the horrible, twisted drama that's playing its way out in my extended family right now. Maybe next time you're getting all down about someone being sick, you could just think about how many cute, fluffy bunnies are dying from white blindness, or how many cases of beer are being wasted by silly political concerns.

It is a candle (if it's the one you mean) Cracker you mean as in "fire cracker"? Or the stuff to eat? We say "get a life" to each other, disappointed or jokingly.

Isaac Sasson wrote: Is there any way I could open page_2 with a specific frame indicated in a link in page_1? Yes, assuming you own page_2. The easiest way is to simply set up a new frameset document for each frame that you might need loaded, and navigate to the appropriate one. An alternative is to set up some javascript in the frameset document that parses the URL appropriately. If you don't own page_2, then you're pretty much out of luck, unless the page has already been set up to handle this sort of navigation (example: Most page requests on MSDN are redirected to default.asp, with the original path in the url= parameter). ---- Scripts i've known...

I remember that ole zx81...:) I had the opcodes clipped out of some magazine and taped by my bed. I -loved- that thing (except when I'd bump the 32K expansion pack:mad: I learned Z80 pretty well on that thing. Then i bought a C64... DEGRADED to 6502 class assembly :( YUK! But at least the graphics hardware was MUCHO cooler and it had a SOUND chip! I wrote my first precursor to a sequencer in 6510 asm for the C64. And the first version of my text editor - ned. Then I found out about midi and my whole world changed...:rose: Ya know, I wish there were HALF the magazines available for programming now that there were back in the 80s...:( TONS of books for doing asm programming, graphics, sound with CRAPPY simple UIs so you could concentrate on FUNCTIONALITY, not stupid glitz. The younger generation is forced to use high level crap like java and VB... They make real cool lookin apps that do NOTHIN. And it's soooo complicate to scramble over the UI crap, that it's tough to get to ANYthing useful... It's taken me years to learn Win32. It would have taken me even longer to learn MFC. And it's all so ugly and complicated compared to those simple, beautiful machines of old... I wish I'd kept my c64 for my son. If I was a professor at a college, the first thing I'd give to aspiring programmers would be a c64 reference manual... And a c64 machine. Remember the instantaneous reboot? Sighhhhhh...:|
