Dynamic invisable spacer

[Joe...B]

Hello People

Just a quick question and possibly quite a simple one! I want to be able to dynamically change the size of a spacer image in some html I have

It is a kind of calendar and what I want to do is use a start date for a week then extend the image to a certain date. I realise a need to turn each day into a set value of say 10 pixals then for every additional day add 10 pixals.

I already know how to retrieve the start day of the week for each value, but I don't know how to make the spacer strech

EG
Week Startin
04-11-200

Date to Strech to
04-18-200

See group CSS (or [url]www.w3schools.com[/url])

write according to what you need:
<table><tr><td style="width:200px; background-color:
red">&nbsp;</td><tr></table>

Sorry I think you miss understood what I ment

I want to create a value like 70 from the following infomation

So every day = 10 pixals the results for the following EG: would be 7

EG
Week Startin
04-11-200

Date to Strech to
04-18-200

At the moment I only have the date values, how do I get a numeric value to return??

Thank

Might look at an HTML group since this isn't ASP or a database.
(Hint: Modify the size of your image...)

This is an ASP question

Sorry you must have miss understood my first mail

What I'm try to do is create a numeric value from 2 dates.

Say a day is equal to 10 and the start of the week is 04-11-2004 and the last date is 04-19-2004 there are 8 days between the two dates and I want to create a value of 80.(10x8(number of days)

I will then write the value to CSS or HTML to increase the width of the image spacer

Thanks

It asked how to create a HTML image where the width changed due to a
calculation, not how to calculate the days between dates. Sorry for
misunderstanding.

Using a database?

And this uses a database how?

In a database?

You're still in the wrong group. And I really don't see any issue in
your message. Is it that you don't understand how to use the DateDiff
function? See:

And follow up in an ASP group, not an ASP database group.

Yes the datediff was a part of it

I guess I can work it out from here! I was trying to pull info from an XML document and convert it so I could find the beginning of the week and then create a value from the beginning of the week to a set date
