Just tried an example without looking too close.
I should know better by now.
They had copied the example from a related dmv and did not change it. So I look and the dmv I wanted was not even in the example. 
Put the correct one in and works fine, but why should I have to fix something that I am trying to learn from?
[edit]Just went on line and they have that updated. Also they removed the need for a join.[/edit]

You learned more this way, didn't you?

You have a point.

There are tons of examples still floating around that use the 2005 version of Adventureworks that don't work with the newer versions due to minor schema changes. I found one the other day where I had to spend an hour tinkering with the dmv/code to even get it to work.
Another time, following an example from a book, I got an unhandled exception when opening a print preview window, even though my code matched the book exactly. Handling/ignoring the error meant the print preview failed entirely. I spent days trying to figure it out, even posting the problem at the publisher's website before I changed my default printer and the error went away!

Aim for the Moon.
Even if you fail, you'll land among the stars.
It's what they call a constellation prize.

On a somewhat related note, when an astronaut dies, do they write an orbituary?

Last night I posted an update for a web application that included new sorting features on most of the datagrids. (thanks tablesorter.js!) Anyhow, part of the new design are indicators in the column headers to show the sort status and direction.
I've just received two emails from the client that it looks great except the indicators are reversed for the sort directions...except they're not! Ascending is represented by a down arrow and Descending is an up arrow...just like it is in Excel and everywhere else! I shall give them what they ask for...even if it doesn't make sense.

Ascending is normally a triangle pointing up and descending one pointing down.

I stand corrected...I just checked the tablesorter samples and you are right. I was thinking more about the flow of data down the page, as in smallest to largest would point down for ascending and vice-versa. No wonder I had to switch the code to make it work like I wanted! Like RyanDev said, I was up too late apparently!

No, you've got that backwards. Ascending even means going up and so the arrow should be pointing up. Descending means going down and therefore the arrow should be going down.
I think you were up too late working on it.

I wondered if that was the problem.

But the triangles have a "small end" and a "large end" -- is the "small end" above the "large end"? Or below it?
I always wind up clicking the arrows several times and stop when I see it the way I want, regardless of the arrows.
