If you mean you need to move some bands from Opener 1 to Opener 2+, you just need to stick in front of them a td containing "&nbsp" (without quotes). If you specify the width of the td like you have for others in the same column, it should work. The &nbsp just acts as invisible content to pad out the cell.

[Doug]

Yeah, what he said.

Lutz is a she.

There are two tables. The main one, which I just listed all the concerts I saw in order, with each row being a concert.

Then at the bottom there's another table with headers "2 Times", "3 Times", "4 Times" etc. I couldn't read the html for that table simply so I'm leaving it alone.

Damn my lack of testicles!

Dan, you can use this if you want:

Just copy and paste the style bit into the head of the html file and overwrite the bottom part of your table with the rest. It's easier to read, so might make it easier for you to move bands around.

If you're really bored and fancy trying to do the same for the bulk of your table (maybe next time you incapacitate yourself, haha), I'd recommend downloading gedit. It's like Notepad, but helpfully highlights code in different colours and has an excellent search-replace function.

ZOMG that worked! Thanks Lutz. You're the best.

Sometimes I just love the niceness of people.

I have a question... has anybody had any experience with teaching themselves Visual Basic?  I've been curious to learn and it looks like there are books out there aimed at self teaching.  Would love to hear any pointers or thoughts.  Thanks.

Would you consider taking an online course through Sinclair?

That's what I did and it worked out pretty well. I just had to show up twice on campus to take my midterm and my final.

[Kwyjibo]

Yeah, that might be an option... was it super costly?

[lutz]

You might find some help here.

Are you sure you want to learn Visual Basic?  Not trying to be a jerk, it just seems like a odd thing to want to learn. 

[Kwyjibo]

For the type of programming I'd likely need (small specific programs for my own use/excel macros) I believe it makes sense but no, I'm not sure of anything.

[Zafer Kaya]

That is kind of why I asked.  Visual Basic and VBA are a little different.  Not so much in terms of the actual programming, but in terms of their use.  So if you are looking for a book or class, look for VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) and *not* Visual Basic.

VBA is what is used to write Excel Macros and there are special classes and books for VBA that will be oriented for regular people who want to do things with spreadsheets and not techie programmers trying to design applications (ie. software, programs) for use in a .net framework.

I've done some self-teaching on VBA.  If you really have some time and force yourself, I think it would be pretty time-consuming, but ultimately pretty rewarding.  I took a 3 day class from New Horizons, and then forced myself to spend a weekend and write a macro myself using the programming, but I've let a lot of the training rot since then. 

I would recommend investing in a book or two and expect to spend a lot of time troubleshooting the frustrating code when you realize you left a ( off or something.

As far as the Sinclair course, I think it was $225 or something like that. But that was with the Montgomery County discount.
