CSS Syntax



background: bg-color bg-image position/bg-size bg-repeat bg-origin bg-clip bg-attachment initial|inherit;

Note: If one of the properties in the shorthand declaration is the bg-size property,
you must use a / (slash) to separate it from the bg-position property, e.g. background:url(smiley.gif) 10px 20px/50px 50px;
will result in a background image, positioned 10 pixels from the left, 20 pixels from the top, and the size of the image will be 50 pixels wide and 50 pixels high.


Note: If using multiple background-image sources but also
want a background-color, the background-color parameter needs to be last in the
list.

Function to Return a JSON Like Objects Using VBA Collections and Arrays

Clash Royale CLAN TAG #URR8PPP .everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty margin-bottom:0; up vote 1 down vote favorite My goal is to create a compact function that can create a JSON Like object from JSON string. I want a function with a small footprint that I or anyone who wants to use it, can simply paste into a module and use. At 61 lines of code, I am happy with its size and portability. Here is an image of JSON Object created from string data using a ScriptControl . Although the Locals Window displays the properties and values correctly, the object itself is extremely difficult to work with. This image shows an object created using getJSONCollection . Because it is made of VBA Collections and Arrays, it is very easy to work with. Option Explicit Private Function getJSONCollection(ByVal Value As Variant, Optional ScriptEngine As Object) As Variant Const DELIMITER As String = "||" Dim col As Collection, JSON As Object, KeyNam...

This contract seems incredibly binding, 2 years in length, and I’m looking to see if it would actually hold up in an Arizona court. contract employment non-compete arizona share | improve this question edited Aug 7 at 15:35 feetwet ♦ 13.8k 9 37 85 asked Aug 6 at 19:05 Alex S. 46 2 What does your comp...
