Welcome to the Wikipedia Computing Reference Desk Archives |

The page you are currently viewing is an archive page. While you can leave answers for any questions shown below, please ask new questions on one of the current reference desk pages. |
I am editing an article on my MediaWiki server and I have been unsuccessfuly trying for days now to have my table show the way I want. I would be grateful for some advice.
With the following table definition:
{| class="BridgeExampleTable" width="100%" ! width=7% align="center" | E ! width=7% align="center" | S ! width=7% align="center" | O ! width=7% align="center" | N ! width=72% align="left" | Description |- | align="center" | 1SA | align="center" | P | align="center" | 2{{C}} | align="center" | P | align="left" rowspan=2 | 5-5, couleurs non-déterminées autres que {{P}}. |- | align="center" | 2{{P}} | align="center" | P | align="center" | P | align="center" | 2SA |- | align="center" | 1SA | align="center" | P | align="center" | P | align="center" | 2SA | align="left" | 5-5, couleurs non-déterminées. |}
and the following css (in MediaWiki:Common.css):
table.BridgeExampleTable { border-style: solid; border-width: thin; border-color: black; border-collapse: collapse; } table.BridgeExampleTable th { border-style: solid; border-width: thin; border-collapse: collapse; padding-left: 5px; padding-right: 5px; background-color:#E6E6E6; } table.BridgeExampleTable td { padding-left: 5px; padding-right: 5px; background-color:#F6F6F6; }
I get the following look (sorry, I just created an account here, I cannot upload images):
+-------+-------+-------+--------+---------------------------------------------+ | E | S | O | N | Description: | |-------+-------+-------+--------+---------------------------------------------| | 1SA P 2♥ P | | 5-5, couleurs non-déterminées autres que ♠.| | 2♠ P P 2SA | | 1SA P P 2SA 5-5, couleurs non-déterminées | +------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
I would like the borders to be like this:
+-------+-------+-------+--------+---------------------------------------------+ | E | S | O | N | Description: | |-------+-------+-------+--------+---------------------------------------------| | 1SA P 2♥ P | | | | 5-5, couleurs non-déterminées autres que ♠. | | 2♠ P P 2SA | | |--------------------------------+---------------------------------------------| | 1SA P P 2SA | 5-5, couleurs non-déterminées | +--------------------------------+---------------------------------------------+
Those BridgeExampleTable classes do not exist, and you can't define classes in a page. Are you copying this from another wiki? Anyway, you will have to specify the CSS for each cell:
E | S | O | N | Description |
---|---|---|---|---|
1SA | P | 2♥ | P | 5-5, couleurs non-déterminées autres que ♠. |
2♠ | P | P | 2SA | |
1SA | P | P | 2SA | 5-5, couleurs non-déterminées. |

}

<!-- code for 3-rd row format -->
}
<!-- and so on for 4-th, 5-th, ... -->

}
table.BridgeExampleTable tr td:first-child + td {
<!-- code for cells in 2-nd column format -->
}
<!-- and so on for 3-rd, 4-th, ... -->
Now I have for instance:

And would like to get:

Hello there,
Help!
I'm quite lost, and am not even sure if this is the right place to ask this question. The rationale for asking this question here might be apparent in a moment though:
About a year ago, something appeared either in New Scientist or the general-science mag Discover regarding a very neat map which showed icons for Wikipedia for subject matter that was frequently accessed. What made this conceptual map interesting is that the icons were represented in varying sizes, on a combined map all at once, according to the frequency of 'hits'. It was a colorful and interesting thing and apparently linked to a new concept in usage estimations/reporting/collecting.
Would anyone possibly know what this was, where it could be, and if anything new has been done with that sort of thing lately? I apologize for my garbled question; I'm not quite sure what this map-thing is *called*, other than how I've described it.
My sincere thanks, Ariel —Preceding unsigned comment added by 159.233.167.15 ( talk) 04:07, 3 October 2009 (UTC)
I have a two-year old Jetway motherboard with an AMD690G chipset (integrated graphics), and AMD Athlon 4000+ at 2100 Mhz and a LCD monitor. Recently, the graphics system has been giving problems, and searching Google leads me to believe that the probem is with the graphics chip in the moterboard. My budget is equivalent to USD 100 to USD 150.
I am trying to maximize value-for-money, and which of the above options is better in that regard?
-- Masatran ( talk) 04:10, 3 October 2009 (UTC)
I bought my computer piece-by-piece and got it assembled, the SMPS came with the cabinet, and the cabinet was a standard-size, mid-price one (as of 2007). I'll open it up and look up the power rating soon.
I'm planning to buy a 1920x1200 or such monitor soon, so a graphics card will improve the DVD-watching experience, right?
Most of the GeForce stuff on Amazon appears to be sold by EVGA, doesn't NVidia sell these things itself? What about ATI in this regard? The 4770 appears to be availabe on Amazon from Sapphire, etc. but not from ATI.
I heard sometime back that NVidia graphics works better with Intel processors, and ATI with AMD, is this actually true?
I use Linux (64-bit), is ATI or NVidia better supported on this? I prefer free drivers but I don't insist on it.
Any idea how to determine without doubt whether the problem is with the motherboard or the monitor? I don't have any other monitors but my monitor works fine when connected to the output from a laptop. The problem is that the monitor flickers every five seconds or so, with the display showing up only for a fraction of a second in this five seconds. It is a Viewsonic X series LCD. Since the problem starts with the BIOS output, it cannot be a software issue.

On Linux - you're better off with nVidia hardware - the device drivers are much better than ATI - although they are closed source. I don't believe any claims of one CPU manufacturer being better with nVidia and the other with ATI - that's bogus. I use nVidia with 64bit Linux and have Intel CPU in one machine and AMD in the other - and I can't tell which is which. SteveBaker ( talk) 03:23, 5 October 2009 (UTC)
Ah, it's been a while since I've need the expedient and authoritative help of the Computing Reference Desk.
I've recently set up a private Google group for a small (not WP-related) organisation of which I am a member. All's been going well, but recently someone replied to one post, trying to start a new thread. All members get sent posts by email, and since the subject was changed, it worked fine from an email-inbox POV, but Google's online interface has understandably interpreted it as a discussion title change, and kept it all in the same thread, so it now goes "Topic 1 - Topic 1 - Topic 2 - Topic 2 - Topic 2" on the same webpage.
Try as I might, I can't seem to split the discussion for archive purpose (I have owner privileges), but perhaps that's because I'm looking at it from the wrong angle. Any help appreciated, - Jarry1250 [ In the UK? Sign the petition! ] 10:17, 3 October 2009 (UTC)
I have several greasemonkey scripts which all do basically the same thing but run on different sites. Is there a way that I can combine them into one script while still retaining the individual site functions (for example, only one part of the script will work on website x, while the other part won't unless it's on website y). I want to do this so that I don't have 20 different things listed in my greasemonkey window, and so I can back it up easier.

Hi all,
I have a contract that was sent to me as a pdf, which I'm supposed to print, sign, scan, and email.
I already have a scan of my signature, saved as several file types. If I could just add that image in the right place, I could save three of those steps and a trip to kinkos. Does anyone know how I could add an image to an existing pdf?
I'm on a Mac OS X, have Word and Open Office, if either of those two things help.

When I installed my new graphics card, I lost all capabilities of playing sound in Windows. Apparently, now Windows only regocnizes the Digital Output Device, not the Analogue Output Device that I am supposed to use. Preveously, I had a red speaker in the system tray, for the Asus Realtek Driver application, but now it is gone. I have a HP computer m7796. The sound worked well with my old nVidia GeForce 8500 GT, but not with my new ATI Radeon HD4870. -- 81.227.64.69 ( talk) 16:55, 3 October 2009 (UTC)
Whenever downloading is discussed on the news its described as illegal downloading, presumably because it relates to copyrighted content, but I want to know what specific laws are being broken by the downloader. Is there specific legislation (in UK especially) prohibiting downloading certain content? as I would have thought the only breach of copyright law would be by the uploader making copyrighted content available. I'm thinking of it as similar to someone exhibiting copies of an artists work without permission or payment - the people who go to see it wouldn't be breaking the law only the person exhibiting. Just for the record I'm not looking for legal advice in relation to any actual court case or planned act, I just want to find out what the laws are on this, specifically in the UK if possible. Thanks AllanHainey ( talk) 17:33, 3 October 2009 (UTC)
Hello there, is it possible to run Vista SP1 64 bit on Asus P5Q-EM G45?? I heard that this board conflicts with Vista.-- 119.30.36.41 ( talk) 18:19, 3 October 2009 (UTC)
I've been having intermittent trouble with the video connection made by an HP Pavilion s3000 running NVIDIA display driver GeForce 6150 LE on Vista (Service Pack 2).
Two different monitors can't see the video output signal. I've tried two different cables and have just updated to the latest version of the driver software. Afterward I was unable to restart, though I tried several times. I left it for half an hour and succeeding in rebooting.
What could be causing the communication failure? What can I do about it? Thanks! -- Halcatalyst ( talk) 20:08, 3 October 2009 (UTC)
Hey there. Does anyone know of any (preferably free) software that will allow me to create a simple family tree? All I need is something graphical, like a pedigree. The only things I really need to be shown in each box of the tree is a name and a birthdate. I've tried PAF but it isn't what I'm looking for.
Ideally, the software will generate a family tree that will display not only my parents, grandparents, great-grandparents, etc, but also my grandparent's children, my cousins, their cousins, etc, in one view. Everything I've found so far only list one person as the "base" and displays their parents, but not mine. I'm looking for something that will display everyone in one giant tree. Am I making sense?
So anyone have anything in mind? Thank you all so much! 141.153.215.27 ( talk) 21:31, 3 October 2009 (UTC)

Hello there,
Help!
I'm quite lost, and am not even sure if this is the right place to ask this question. The rationale for asking this question here might be apparent in a moment though:
About a year ago, something appeared either in New Scientist or the general-science mag Discover regarding a very neat map which showed icons for Wikipedia for subject matter that was frequently accessed. What made this conceptual map interesting is that the icons were represented in varying sizes, on a combined map all at once, according to the frequency of 'hits'. It was a colorful and interesting thing and apparently linked to a new concept in usage estimations/reporting/collecting.
Would anyone possibly know what this was, where it could be, and if anything new has been done with that sort of thing lately? I apologize for my garbled question; I'm not quite sure what this map-thing is *called*, other than how I've described it.

The sound worked well with my old nVidia GeForce 8500 GT, but not with my new ATI Radeon HD4870. -- 81.227.64.69 ( talk) 16:55, 3 October 2009 (UTC)
Whenever downloading is discussed on the news its described as illegal downloading, presumably because it relates to copyrighted content, but I want to know what specific laws are being broken by the downloader. Is there specific legislation (in UK especially) prohibiting downloading certain content? as I would have thought the only breach of copyright law would be by the uploader making copyrighted content available. I'm thinking of it as similar to someone exhibiting copies of an artists work without permission or payment - the people who go to see it wouldn't be breaking the law only the person exhibiting. Just for the record I'm not looking for legal advice in relation to any actual court case or planned act, I just want to find out what the laws are on this, specifically in the UK if possible.

Hello there, is it possible to run Vista SP1 64 bit on Asus P5Q-EM G45?? I heard that this board conflicts with Vista.-- 119.30.36.41 ( talk) 18:19, 3 October 2009 (UTC)
I've been having intermittent trouble with the video connection made by an HP Pavilion s3000 running NVIDIA display driver GeForce 6150 LE on Vista (Service Pack 2).
Two different monitors can't see the video output signal. I've tried two different cables and have just updated to the latest version of the driver software. Afterward I was unable to restart, though I tried several times. I left it for half an hour and succeeding in rebooting.
What could be causing the communication failure? What can I do about it? Thanks! -- Halcatalyst ( talk) 20:08, 3 October 2009 (UTC)
Hey there. Does anyone know of any (preferably free) software that will allow me to create a simple family tree? All I need is something graphical, like a pedigree. The only things I really need to be shown in each box of the tree is a name and a birthdate. I've tried PAF but it isn't what I'm looking for.
Ideally, the software will generate a family tree that will display not only my parents, grandparents, great-grandparents, etc, but also my grandparent's children, my cousins, their cousins, etc, in one view. Everything I've found so far only list one person as the "base" and displays their parents, but not mine. I'm looking for something that will display everyone in one giant tree. Am I making sense?
So anyone have anything in mind? Thank you all so much! 141.153.215.27 ( talk) 21:31, 3 October 2009 (UTC)
