Hi all,
I hope somebody can help in relation to the code below.
With the working code below I;m trying to setup a results section that would output a soccer teams results eg.Everton have won 12, drawn 4, and lost 5 games to date.
The team position option works fine but I;m not sure how to integrate the additional function within the code for the results section?
See comments in code //
Thanks for the help.
Regards.
