If you do Union them, does that still allow you to 'order by' the sub queries, or does it just undo the 'order by'. I'm not sure if that's even the best way, just trying to understand. I definitely don't get Rudy's example below. Sorry to be so thick. -Stephen http://www.mechavox.com On

I've just spent a little time playing with Drew's code and put boxes around the classes to see how things line up. If you add margins and paddings while viewing the output in Mozilla and IE, it's easy to see how they differ. Drew (or actually anyone) - do you use CSS for creating calendars

Scott, I dare say that the mere thought of making a calendar in CSS would make even the most experienced CSS-Head cringe and whimper for his mommy (I'm currently huddled up with my thumb in my mouth). That said, I've googled it and didn't turn up anything more than using CSS to style an HTML

Scott, I haven't run across anything particularly about calendars, but you might check out http://css.nu/articles/table-in-css.html which has an article about creating table-like displays with CSS; this might be appropriate if your calendar is to be displayed in ye old grid format. Personally,

Several people have tried creating calendars with pure css/no tables on the css-d list (hosted by evolt.org) and the consensus has been that calendars are tabular data and a table is the best thing to use for them. I suspect a search of the css-d archives would turn up some of the posts. Whether

Hi Amanda - Thanks for your input -- it appears that doing a calendar in css would be analogous to hammering a nail with a Crescent Wrench (I've done that before :^). It works but it's a lot more trouble than it's worth. Also, I'll check your link for creating table-like displays... Scott btw

If you do Union them, does that still allow you to 'order by' the sub queries no a query that includes a UNION is called a fullselect and its components are called subselects the subselects are not allowed to have an ORDER BY, only the fullselect sometimes you will see this -- select foo
