Congrats, you probably also have the YTD most votes, thanks to all those second places. For your HTML problem. (For all of the below pretend the [ are < and ] are >, since I can't use < and > here or it will become HTML.) Here is the problem. If you code
[table border=1] [tr] [td]data[/td] [td]more data[/td] [/tr] [tr] [td]data[/td] [td]more data[/td] [/tr] [/table] this message board adds a [br] at the end of each line, but as coded above the breaks are not in with any table data [td] area and become breaks before the table, so it looks like:
The solution is to do it this way: [table border=1][tr][td]data [/td][td]more data [/td][/tr][tr][td]data [/td][td]more data [/td][/tr][/table] this puts all the breaks inside columns, and the essentially are ignored, giving this:

| 8 | Matt G, Guru Jr. ID: 3452159 Fri, Jul 21, 13:18 | ok i will hve to try that, but I pull it straight out of excell so it is tough to edit it within the text box, but I will do so anyhow, thanks again... | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

congratulations on your week in the sun Madman. Just about all the strategy I know came from your brain last year when this board first came on line--before you got fed up with the SW F-Ups.
Really, really glad to have you back. And the pitcher/park breakdowns were extraordinary. congrats to Matt G on your vote total!!! That chat room must be one hot place. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Congrats, Matt G. Big party in the chatroom tonight! Virtual beer's on Matt, and everybody gets one free swear word!
And I think we ought to break our rules and re-elect Madman as soon as possible. Having him go his Guru Jr commentator role is too great an advantage to pass up! | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Matt G -- I do my tables straight from Excel, as well. I have one table that is "normal". Let's say I have data in Cell A1.
Then, to it's right, I have an "HTML" table that looks something like this (simplified): cell d1 = "[table] cell d2 ="[tr][th]" & A1 cell d3 ="[/th][/tr][/table]" Then its a simple matter of copy/paste and careful filling right and down to flesh out the rest of the table. I then just copy/paste that into the little text box here and post. I think it is very efficient, but I'm always open to better ways of doing things. Just for interest's sake, I also set everything up so that the cell background colors I choose refer to a "color lookup" table, and are indirectly referenced in a similar manner (although more intricate) to what I just described regarding how you can reference a table in Cell A1. That way I can type "purple" or "green" for a column and instantly change the table. Or, I can type something else in Cell A1, and have it change the HTML output. Doing that number formatting thing like this is kind of wild. I didn't know you could do that (style = vb.excelformat. . .whatever). pilewort -- thanks for the compliment. I hope those strategy tips (whatever they were) are working! | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Congrats Matt G. Wear your title with honor and distinction, you've earned it.

| 15 | biliruben ID: 5849314 Fri, Jul 21, 15:19 | Nice to see you finally got your due, Matt G. Congrats and don't forget the 3-inch heals that are required for the job. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 16 | Strike One ID: 496441210 Fri, Jul 21, 20:37 | congrats matt g..how do i transfer excell to a thread? | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 17 | Matt G, Guru Jr. ID: 35641319 Fri, Jul 21, 22:35 | To bring them over you need to save them as html, bring up the source in netscape and just cut and past that is how I have always done it... | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Hey, this is just a little "project" I have been working on, didn't take very long. I went through and tallied all the Guru Jr. Votings I could find on the BaseBall threads. Then I put them into excell I thought it would be a cool thing to keep recorded. Let me know what you guys think. I won't post it here cause it is big, and I am having problems posting excel results as seen above. here is the html

Good job Matt G.
I feel pretty silly that Strike One got more votes than me--even though I wasn't here ;) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| 22 | Gman15 ID: 1691011 Mon, Jul 24, 16:01 | Ref - I'm sure you realize the vote for Strike One was because he wasn't here also! ;-) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
