Result
It produces a Link from one of two pics that show whether I am On-line of Off-line and inserts a Leading message as suggested in the other thread.
It will Launch AIM on a PC if it is installed.
If a Mac has AIM and iChat it will launch AIM first unless with Internet Explorer you change the App that launches with the AIM:goim HTML reference.
See here for more on that.
This one just shows if someone is on-line depending on the name you enter

Result
This would be a text link
<a href="aim:goim?screenname=Your Screen name here
&message=Hi!,+I+came+from+yourwebsite.">Insert instruction/link text here</a>
Result
Click me to Message me on AIM/iChat Except that Apple do not allow links like this to work from here
The other bits in the original are HTML instructions to put up an Available or Away pic and Alternative text for the pics.
Hope this helps.

  • I can no longer print off a web page (eg Flight booking confirmation). Other printer functions are OK. Any ideas?

    My printer will no longer print off web-pages, either from the tool bar command or from the "print page" command. This has only just happened and seeems to have followed a MS up-date, but can't be sure.
    Can anyone suggest a fix?
    All other printer functions work OK.
    Many thanks.

    My printer is HP Photosmart C4650 Series. I can print from everything but the Web. I don't get an error message or anything it just will not print.
    I'm using Windows 7, it had been doing fine than it just decided to quit printing from the web.
    T'hank You,

  • Can't get to links on web pages

    I can't get to links on web pages , shrink or enlarge the web page or show the other web pages that are open?The back arrow does work

    Go to the Home screen and double click the Home button. That will reveal the row of recently used apps at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold on the app in question until it wiggles and displays a minus sign. Tap the minus sign to actually quit the app. Then tap anywhere on the screen above that bottom row to return the screen to normal. Then restart the app and see if it works normally.

    How can I airprint part of a web page using iPad and Safari?

    Copy (or cut) the area you want to print, and paste it in to a new document.
    Or take a screen shot (by simultaneously holding Shift + Command + 4 keys) of the area you want to print, then print the resulting screen shot file (which appears on your desktop).

    Restart your Mac and immediately hold down the Shift key when you hear the startup chime to boot into Safe Mode. Keep holding the Shift key until you see a progress bar towards the bottom of the screen. You can let go of the Shift key at that point.
    OS X asks you to log in (you will get this screen on a Safe Mode boot even if your Mac is set to automatically log in). Let the Mac finish booting to the desktop and then restart normally. This will clear Font Book's database and the cache files of the user account you logged into in Safe Mode.
    Next, close all running applications. From an administrator account, open the Terminal app and enter the following command. You can also copy/paste it from here into the Terminal window:
    sudo atsutil databases -remove
    Terminal will then ask for your admin password. As you type, it will not show anything, so be sure to enter it correctly.
    This removes all font cache files. Both for the system and the current user font cache files. After running the command, close Terminal and immediately restart your Mac.

    hmmm...
    On the page in admin,we should have a button to export the  item to Photoshop.  A PSD of the entire should be assembled from the elements of the XML. This means that the text leading and tracking will need to be translated from server settings to Photoshop settings. Font sizes should also match.

    suddenly I can't print any web page. After the print command it wants me to save as an XPS file and I can't get past that.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened

    I found that Firefox/XPS had deleted all printer driver setups except for the XPS connection. I had to reinstall my printer connection in order to have that selection present in the printer dialogue box.

  • Can i convert indesign document to web page in dreamweaver

    Can I convert indesign 6 document to dreamweaver web page

    As SnakEyes suggests, the short answer is, "no." The long answer is more complicated.
    InDesign is a tool that provides you with desktop publishing, not web publishing. DTP tools let you choose fonts, precisely place graphics and photos, create columns with text that flows from one to the next and so on.
    A website is completely different. Web browsers do not have access to unlimited typefaces and, while your digital font license does allow you to send typefaces to a printer, it typically does not allow you to send it to all web browsers accessing your website on the internet. And also not all browsers work with all types of fonts hosted on a server.
    Text in browsers is rendered at screen resolution, which is typically 72 DPI. When you are setting up for a printer, you can access printers with 1200 and 2400 DPI, which is very high resolution. So your use of typefaces will, of necessity, be different for a website than it will be for print. We typically print for publications using serif typefaces for running text, as it helps the eye to flow to the next character and the next word. But since screen resolution is so low, we use sans-serif type for running text on a website because it will be more easily read than serif type on a low-resolution screen.
    Layout options for print tend to be very precise. One may simply drag and drop an image and have text flow around it in a DTP application. There is no design application for website building that allows you to do that which also gives you clean HTML and CSS code. So, if you want anything near like the precision for a website that you are used to in the DTP environment, you're going to need to learn HTML and CSS.
    Dreamweaver is a code-writing engine that has a display aspect that will let you see your design as you write the code. It also automates the production of a very limited amount of code, manages your links and will allow you to put your finished web pages on a server.
    Microsoft allows you to export Excel and Word documents "as web pages" and the result is horrific. It can actually take more time to clean up the code produced by these Microsoft applications than it would be to simply create a website from scratch in Dreamweaver.
    With In Design, the built-in HTML export is designed to extract content, not geometry. The end result of an export to HTML bears no resemblance to the original layout. The HTML exporter does allow the designer to attach external CSS and JavaScript files, but this assumes the designer is comfortable with code and has time to re-conceive the layout from scratch.
    Now, you can use the Adobe Digital Publishing Suite to do the export. This ranges from about $400.00 to $100,000 plus usage fees. This price may be good for the New York Times, but not cost-effective for a single designer or a small shop. The output of the DPS is limited. It only outputs to tablet devices and the iPhone. It won't output to desktops or Android phones. Everyone who wants to see your publication has to sign up for an Adobe.com account, then they have to send you their email address associated with the account. You then have to add their email to a distribution list, tell them to download the Adobe Content Viewer to their tablet, and then look at your publication through the ACV. Or you can create an app that is a stand-in for the Adobe Content Viewer, like the New York Times did and then you have to pay Apple the iOS Developer fee.
    Or, you can simply make a website that sticks to modern HTML and CSS standards.
    I'm looking forward to Ken Binney's comments after he sees the code structure exported from InDesign.
