SF1 Code, Census 2000

Posted on Updated on

The Network has a long history of collaborating on the writing of SAS and SPSS code and to share that within the network. It is a signficant network collaboration that shows an outstanding commitment by peers nationwide to share each other’s work.

Instead of hundreds of programmers developing similar routines and code, this collaborative effort leverages the work of a few and maximizing output for the entire network. Individual units are free to customize the modules and the data for purposes specific to their constituents. We only ask that credit be given to the SDC/BIDC National Network.

The Clock

This is from www.poodwaddle.com. You can customize size and background color, and this is the code needed on your webpage:

The Countdowns

  1. Download the following files and save to a location on your web server. (Note: these are the same code, but they have been customized to display different descriptions for BAS and full review.)
  2. Link the javascripts in the head of your webpage (you’ll want to use your own path depending on where you saved them in your site hierarchy)):
  3. Call the script at the point where you want it to display on the same page with the following code ( this is where you set the date):
    • countdownBAS(2007,10,31);
    • countdown(2007,11,19);
