Kinda pointless since you can use ceiling, but you could go old school and add .5 to the number, then round to achieve the same affect. On Tue, Nov 22, 2016 at 7:29 AM, Roger Eller wrote: > Thanks, Peter! > > ~Roger > > > On Tue, Nov 22, 2016 at 9:27 AM, Peter TB Brett > wrote: > > > > > > > On

Re: roundUp function?

Peter, ceil works in 8.1.1, and in the docs of 8.1.1 says "Introduced in 6.7", yet it fails in 6.7.5 and6.7.8, nor is it in the 6.7.x dictionary. That said, I need it in an app that is built and deployed in 6.7.5. ~Roger On Tue, Nov 22, 2016 at 9:29 AM, Roger Eller wrote: > Thanks, Peter! >

This is strange and very insecure. You should let the tab load and redirect to the PayPal page after the tab has finished doing everything it should do. I had a similar problem though. I needed a page to give PayPal time to process a transaction. I did this with a fake progress bar, which wait

Yes, what Richard said :-) Don't be misled by the dictionary - the socketID *may* start with an IP address, but it doesn't need to - therefore you can simply close 8765 without an IP address, to close sockets you have 'accepted' on. -- Alex. On 22/11/2016 21:52, Richard Gaskin wrote: Ralp

Would it work for you to hide the visible stack(s) and open the stack being used as a dialog window as a palette? Then re-show the visible stack(s) when the palette is closed. On 11/22/2016 5:10 PM, Paul Dupuis wrote: Help, I was to open a modal dialog from a single handler and continue the
