Creating scrolling text on an iWeb page

I came across Old Toad's Test site and was suitably impressed by the enhancements detailed on his home page. (I did not post the link as I did not want to breach any confidentiality).
Q) How do I get scrolling text on an iweb page? By way of an experiment, I have copied the html code from old toads site into a html widget and then selected apply however the text simply displays, it does not scroll.
I have no html experience apart from cutting and pasting code into the widget box and then selecting apply. What am I doing wrong, please can anyone help? Thanks

The scrolling box is on this demo page. As I mentioned it will work with a text, pdf and Word document. I've not been able to get an rtf document to display nor a Pages document. But you can create pdf files from each of those applications and use the pdf version.
If you can live with the default text that comes with using a .txt file it will not have toolbar at the top that a Word or PDF document will and be a lot cleaner. There may be a way to set the font to be displayed in the page but it can't be done in the text document itself. I've not figured out how do to that as yet.

  • Creating Scrolling text panels in Indesign CS5 for Interactive SWF's

    Hi,
    Is it possible to do as it says in the title?
    I want to add some text panels and provide the ability to scroll through the text.
    It will be output to an Interactive SWF file online.
    Can this be done in Indesign CS5?

    Hi,
    Thanks for the updated information.
    I created a scrooling text box in Flash CS5 and created the swf, that works fine.
    Importing into Indesign CS5 isnt as straight forward as I expected?
    I get the SWF icon on the Indesign Page, but previewing or publishing only shows the SWF icon, no Scrolling Text box displays.
    Im ust add that if I click on the SWF icon the Text box displays, but I want it to display by default?
    Are there more steps I need to take?

  • How to stop text box on iWeb page from automatically reverting to hyperlink when I click 'save'

    As far as I see, the main text box in the body section of my iWeb page reverts to a hyperlink (connecting to a file) when I click save.  I don't know how the hyperlink got activated to begin with--I must have done something, but I don't know what it was.  I tried this many times to fix it: went to Inspector "hyperlink" section, activated the text box in the page, un-clicked "make hyperlinks active" (so they are inactive), then un-clicked "Enable as a hyperlink."  That much works--the hyperlink (little white arrow in blue circle) disappears from the lower right corner of text box.  But as soon as I save (command S), the text box reverts to a hyperlink. 
    If I don't click save and move around the pages, it does not revert to a hyperlink.  It only reverts to a hyperlink when the file is saved.  Why is it doing this and how to stop this from happening--how to permanently return the text box to a non-hyperlink?
    The website page is: http://www.usronline.net/USR/VedicResearch.html.  If you click anywhere randomly in the main text, you'll get a prompt to download a PDF file.  This should not be, but I can't get this hyperlink to go away for good.
    Many thanks in advance.

    Please pardon the reply delay--a big project deadline had to be met.  Now back to this work:
    Yes, the text in the oval object had a drop shadow (the oval object itself did not).  I removed the drop shadow from the text, but the image file icon stayed in the right corner of the oval object.  I deleted the text and then the image file icon disappeared.  But as soon as I typed text again inside the oval object (not even pasting the previous text) the image file icon appeared again.  I deleted the oval object entirely and simply typed the text inside the main text box itself.  The image file icon that was attached to that oval object is gone (along with the oval object).
    Still the image file icon is attached to the main text box, though.  I again tried to uncheck the Enable as hyperlink (same process as described in first posting) with that oval object gone, but when I "save" again it reverts to a hyperlink. 
    Next I tried this: I copied the text from the problem text box and pasted it into another text box (outside of the problem one).  Still in the new text box with the pasted text, the image file icon shows in the upper right corner. 
    I also removed all the drop shadow features from this main text box (there was one more, on some words typed in the main text box), but it is still showing as an image.
    I don't know how it became an image file, and I'm still stumped as to how to fix it (short of forgetting about trying to figure out how it became an image and just retyping all text into a new text box).
    The link you provided for "Web Safe Fonts" is returning this: "The server at www.ampsoft.net is taking too long to respond."  I'm using Arial and Georgia (Georgia only on the menu and header text) in the site, and I had verified before designing the site that these are web safe, so I had thought they were.
    If you or anyone have any further suggestions or suspicions on this matter, I'd be glad to hear them.
    Thank you.

  • Creating a frame within a iweb page

    I would like to create a frame within one of my iweb pages so that I can maintain the navigation menu while incorporating expose photo slide (or any other external page to be displayed within my page).
    Please correct me if I am wrong but I don't think this is possible using iweb and must edit the source code.
    Does anyone know if there are any templates out there I could just copy and past to get this done? i am simply looking to create a frame pretty much taking up the entire center of the existing page while leaving the navigation menu in tacked. Do appreciate the help!

  • Pan & Zoom option in Overlay Creator disabled/grayed out when trying to create scrolling text

    Hi all,
    I'm trying to create a scrolling text frame using the Paste Into method. I've created a long text frame, cut it, pasted into another frame. When I go to the Overlay Creator and click Pan & Zoom, it tells me to select a cropped image. I've tried an identical work flow on another computer and it works fine - the pan only radio button is available.
    I've reinstalled the CS5 extensions, restarted my Mac and I can't resolve the issue. I only downloaded the extension tools last week, so I'd hope they aren't too out of date now. The About screen tells me I'm on 11.4.2.20111116_m_671500 7.0.3.13
    Any help appreciated.

    The best place to get the new builds is the DPS Dashboard (https://digitalpublishing.acrobat.com). You can also view the detailed help topic about installing:
    http://help.adobe.com/en_US/digitalpubsuite/using/WS67cb9e293e2f1f60-21ba9a4512e5e5e0b8d-7 ffe.html
    If you install the Folio Producer tools and then the Folio Builder panel, you should be able to sign in just fine. Let  us know if you still get the error.

  • How to create scrolling text  (overflow)

    I think I may have posted this in the wrong forum to begin with...so I'm posting it here.
    I am new to Dreamweaver and new to web creation in general. I am currently working on creating a new website and have run into some issues with large amounts of text. I have created a template for the main layout of my site and have added an editable area within the template. One of the pages I have is our Privacy Policy which is a large amount of text. Here is what I'm trying to do...I need to have the text scroll down only within the editable area. I'm not sure if I need to create a DIV to put stuff in, or a table but I need to have the Overflow function and not have it push the page down.
    Any suggestions or solutions would be great.
    Thanks.

    #DivName {
    height: 400px; /**adjust height & width to suit your needs**/
    width: 100%;
    overflow: auto;

  • How to create label & text items in a page dynamicly(TOP URGENT)

    Dear all;
    did any1 tried before to create a PLSQL which can create labels or text items?!! i have a page which i want to create labels according to the count of rows in the Database table?
    Regards;

    I would first try creating an 'On Load - Before Header' PL/SQL Computation to count the rows, and store the result in a hidden page/application item, e.g. P120_ROW_COUNT.
    Then in the label of the item, put &P120_ROW_COUNT. as the Label Text.
    I haven't tested it - but it should work.

  • Create Disappearing Scrolling Text

    I am trying to creating scrolling text that disappears at a certain point on the screen so it looks as it is going behind my actors head and disappears.  I am having some problems and have looked online but have not been able to find any solutions.  I am pretty sure that I have to create a mask but every time I try to create a mask the button is grayed out.
    Any suggestions and steps would be much apprieciated!!!
    Nick Farrell

    hi
    are you trying to mask the text layer? you cant do that you'd have to put the text into a group of its own and mask that.
    However thats not the way you'd probably want to do it. You should probably mask the actors layer to isolate them. Create a duplicate of your shot, create a roto mask to the top one to isolate the actors. Put your animated text inbetween the full shot and the isolated actors one, hey presto the tet will dissappear behind them.
    Before you spen 5 1/2 days rotoscoping your actors, create very rough masks first, chances are you might not have to cerate too much detail in the mask. and create many smaller masks rather than one huge unweildly one.

  • How do you add a scroll bar to a scrolling text field in a folio?

    I've created iPhone and iPad folios with multiple pages. There are scrolling text fields on each page. The fields scroll as designed, but the scroll bars on the  text fields only appear while actually scrolling. Is there a way to have them always visible so the user knows there is more hidden info? The only bars that are constantly visible are the page scroll bars.  Thanks!

    Why is your content pane null? I thought the content pane was the top-level in all windows? If you want complete control over the location of a list box, you want to set the layout of the content pane to null... the way I almost always do this is the other way around, to create my own panel and use setContentPane instead:
    JPanel content = new JPanel(null);
    JScrollPane scroll = new JScrollPane(myListBox);
    scroll.setBounds(380, 10, 500, 500);
    content.add(scroll);
    setContentPane(content);

  • Creating scrollable text with Adobe DPS

    I'm using the Overlay creator panel to build a vertical scrolling text panel on a page. As I am saving the folio as a PDF the text within the scrolling (pan) container looks different to the non scrolling text columns. I assume this is because the pan function is converted to PNG or JPG and not built as PDF. Is there a way to build scrolling text panels and retain the sharp scalable PDF text? The only solution I can see is to build the folio as a PNG which withh mean larger file sizes. Help!

    You're correct, the text inside the scrolling container is getting rasterized at folio creation time, whereas the rest of the text is getting rendered at display time by the PDF engine on the device. This will result in slight differences in appearance on the device, however if you are creating your folios correctly it shouldn't be a sharpness difference.
    Are you trying to create content for the new iPad? If so, make sure you are creating your folio in folio builder at 2048x1536. When you add the InDesign document as a PDF article to a folio that size we will rasterize the scrollable frame content at a resolution high enough to look sharp on the new iPad.

  • Duplicate a Text Field on Every Page of a Document?

    Today I wrote my first vb.net/adobe app.  I managed to open the pdf doc in adobe and create a named text field.  I managed to insert a java script that gets the current date when the document is open and updates the text field.  I would like to duplicate the text field on all pages of the document.  Manually, I can right click on a text field and select duplicate.  I don't see a property or method that allows me to program this.  The field property "page" appears to be read only.  any help would be appreciated.  thanks.
    page
    The page number or an array of page numbers of a field. If the field has only one appearance in the document, the page property returns an integer representing the 0-based page number of the page on which the field appears. If the field has multiple appearances, it returns an array of integers, each member of which is a 0-based page number of an appearance of the field. The order in which the page numbers appear in the array is determined by the order in which the individual widgets of this field were created (and is unaffected by tab-order). If an appearance of the field is on a hidden template page, page returns a value of -1 for that appearance.
    TypeInteger | ArrayAccessRFieldsallExample 1Determine whether a particular field appears on one page, or more than one page.var f = this.getField("myField");
    if (typeof f.page == "number")
    console.println("This field only occurs once on page " + f.page);
    else
    console.println("This field occurs " + f.page.length + " times);

    I also tried the brute force method of moving from page to page and creating a text field on each page.   I used pageNum to changes the page, but, adobe didn't seem to recognize that.  I saw the page change on the screen, but, all of the textfields were created on the first page!

  • Scrolling text...

    Hi,
    I want to create scrolling text similar to this website:
    http://www.christianlouboutin.fr/
    If you enter the english site and then click on 'biography'
    which is the photo frame you will see what I want to achieve.
    There's a slider on the right hand side which you can move
    down or up to view the text. It seems realy smooth and just glides
    - if you get what I mean.
    Can anyone point me in the right direction. Maybe a website
    with a tutorial for idiots or even book that I can go out and buy
    with really good examples on how to acheive this.
    Any help/advice greatly appreciated.
    Many thanks in advance

  • How to key out black background - scrolling text

    Hi, I have created scrolling text for credits at the end of my movie. How do I key out the black background to use as an overlay? Am I missing a setting? Thanks.

    hmm ... if you save this motion project and import it into final cut pro, it'll be transparent.
    maybe i don't understand what you mean.
    you don't export a movie from motion, you save the file and the rendering is then handled by FCP.

    Do you mean a text box people can type in (for a Web form
    entry) or one for displaying your content?
    If the first, then you use the textarea tag and scrollbars
    appear when the user types more lines that you specify. See the
    textarea
    description at W3Schools.
    If the second, then that's usually done in Flash, but can be
    done with CSS. See these two pages:
