    Help, can't get this to work

    I searched on google trying to find javascript to get my guestbook to file the newest entries first. All I could find was to change the zero to a one. I don't know what that means. Please help! I just need a code.

    Can you post the code you have so we know what we're trying to sort?

      I don't have a code, all I can find is a site that said to change a zero to a one. I need some type of code. The guestbook is from Frontpage. I was hoping someone could give me a code to try.

        Ok brandywine, let's sober up a bit and do it this way:
        You explain what you want to sort. What you have being displayed and how you want it displayed, then people can throw in some pointers.

          I think it should be pretty simple to do what I want to do. My guestbook files the entries from oldest to newest and I want to flip it the other way around. When someone put a message on my guestbook, I want that message to be the first one on the page. Sounds easy, but I guess not because I cannot figure out how to do it.

            Consider adapting the table sort function downloadable from http://www.jsmadeeasy.com/javascript.../tableSort.htm. The function can sort strings, numbers and dates in both ascending and descending order.

              I tried it. It didn't work. It made my columns really small but did not sort the entries like I wanted it to. Please help me.

                I'm lost; what kind of guest book is this? What is it coded in? You could just scrap the whole thing and get one that does what you want guestbooks are all over the web. Can we get some code or a link or something more descriptive?

                  It is a guestbook that I came with my website in Frontpage. I think it is in javascript.

                  I am the president of a non-profit organization and I have to have the guestbook on the site. I can't have a link that goes to another site. If I could get a guest- book and upload it to the site.

                    Does it matter if it is in PHP? Here are some links:
