I would guess that there should have been a kind of onCollapse, onExpand,
onResize something like that.

There is a way, you use the array syntax to get at a specific value in the

databases. You want to normalize your single database to keep the

I guess I can caulk this up to Oracle not my poor memory. I know in the
other DBMS I have used - I did not have to use DATE.

You can use the free, developer version to build your sites, and as long as
your hosting company has a license, you are good to go.
Look at cfeclipse for building your sites in - it's free and is an excellent

Hope that helps.
