Creating template areas when using CSS based layout

Hi:
I'm ransitioning to pure CSS based layouts. When I used tables for layouts I could select a table cell and make that an editable template region. But when I'm setting everything up in Divs, you can't "select" a div in Layout mode. Indeed, layout mode doesn't really work at all - things are shown all jumbled and you have to use Preview or open in a browser window to see how things will look. (I'm not using the grid - maybe I should?) Is there a way to select a div and make it an editable template region?
I'm using GoLive CS2 on a Mac.
Thanks!

Is this affecting ALL text on that page?

HT4889 I have accidentally created another account when using Migration Assistant to a new MBA. How do I now 'migrate' all the files from both accounts into one to save myself having two accounts, both of which are me? Help?

I have accidentally created another account when using Migration Assistant to a new MBA. I have read that I probably should not have skipped migration in the initial set up and the problem would have been avoided but, alas, here I am. Does anyone know how I can 'migrate' all the files from one of the accounts that has been created to the other, so then I can delete it and have a single user on the computer seeing as I am the only person using it? I have read starting again, if this is the way to go, where is the best place to start 'starting again'?

Yes definitely should see it but its not coming up (I don't think) when I log out of 2nd user and into the main account. Opening finder in the 2nd account, I can obviously find the public folder because thats where I dropped all the files, but when in the main account, it can't be found. The only public folder that comes up is the folder for that account (main account) and it does not display files I'm looking for. Frustrating....
EDIT: Have found it through a round-about way but all music and photo and movie etc files have a red stop sign disallowing them from being transferred. Can you guess what the next question will be?

How to view semantic css based layouts in design view in dreamweaver?

Hi all,
I havent had a lot to do with CSS based layouts (tables have alwasy just worked for me fine) but I am wondering how do I view the semantic/css based layout in design view in Dreamweaver?
As when I write the code, in design view its not showing me what the page will look like, I have to click on "Live View" to see what the page actually looks like.
I guess I am asking is there a way to using WYSIWYG on css layouts in design view??? Just like I do table layouts (In design view I can grab the edge of the table and resize etc)?
Any help would be great

Lou yeah I don't think the term WYSIWYG really applys to dreamweaver anymore when building CSS layouts.
The term "WYSIWYG" never applied to DW. It was never such a thing, nor was any other HTML authoring, no matter what the marketing hype said. It's not possible to deliver wysiwyg layouts when there are so many different browsers/platforms/versions to worry about. This is particularly true when you go back to the era when WYSIWYG was actively used (but not with DW, which was not advertised in such a way) - Netscape 4, and IE5/Mac would alone be enough to destroy any layout....
The view you are getting in Design view is happening because your CSS is misplaced BELOW the <body> tag - it should be in the head of the page (i.e., above </head>). Your CSS should never be placed within the body of the page.

When using CSS in APEX do you need to specify a DOCTYPE?

Hi
Have just started looking at creating my own CSS for APEX apps. Have read that for non-apex web pages that without a DOCTYPE being specified, browsers such as Mozilla & IE-6 go into Quirks mode, a backward compatibility feature that functions as if it has no knowledge of modern DOM.
Does this affect apex pages and do you need to specify a DOCTYPE?
regards
Tony

The built-in APEX HTML page templates don't include DOCTYPES, virtually all have table-based layouts, so whatever browser you bring along, they're gonna party like it's 1999 and everyone is down with Win IE5. This is due to DOCTYPE switching.
The main thing that working this way achieves is that Oracle avoid having to include additional CSS rules and abstruse hacks to deal with CSS rendering bugs in each and every browser out there. Some people think this is A Good Thing.
Web Standards are another Good Thing, and if properly implemented in each and every browser out there life as a web developer/designer would be a lot simpler. Including a DOCTYPE in your page is the starting point for standards-based development. You're declaring "this document is compliant with the stated version of (X)HTML". It's up to you to ensure that it is.
Using an incomplete DOCTYPE:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN">
proclaims your adherence to the XHTML 1.0 Strict standard, and you can take advantage of this by including a validator in your workflow to help you stick to it. However as it's incomplete, the browsers will still revert to rendering CSS in quirks mode, and using Javascript with a proprietary DOM.
A complete DOCTYPE:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
"html://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
says that you truly believe it's 2008 and will make the browsers render CSS in standards mode, and work with the W3C standard DOM. This is when you may have to deal with browser-dependent rendering bugs. Which might make it seem that Web Standards are more trouble than they're worth, but if you stick to them you won't have any real trouble with getting sites to work with Firefox, Safari and Opera, maybe IE7 and possibly IE6. And you can take advantage of better CSS support in the first 4 of these to apply more advanced techniques.
So, you don't need a DOCTYPE in your APEX pages, but you can include one, and you have to if you want to do standards-based development (as seen here and here).
APEX doesn't (yet?) create 100% standards-compliant code [and sometimes neither do template developers; content creators almost never] but it has improved in this area version on version.

CSS based layouts

HTML DB's (even 2.0) layout features are based firmly on pure HTML tables. Rows and cells, rowspans/colspans. etc.
Reading some of the bleeding edge web development sites/blogs out there, they have been proclaiming the death of HTML tables for page layout purposes for years now. CSS support is pretty well established in all major browsers, CSS standards have matured substantially over the past few years.
What does the HTML DB development team think about adding native support for CSS-based page layouts?
Thanks

Hello,
You can pretty much ,with some exceptions' create a fully XHTML/CSS based templates in HTML DB.
The Builder will not be doing this for some time yet and some comments in your own post explains why.
Reading some of the bleeding edge web development sites/blogs out there,I would suspect most people would want production quality not bleeding edge.
You will notice we have removed pretty much removes all deprecated tags though.
What follows next is a rant but it's only because I take my HTML 'VERY' seriously, been building pages since the bleeding edge browser was lynx , you have been warned.
--BEGIN RANT
CSS support is 'pretty well established' in all major browsers, CSS standards have
matured substantially over the past few years.I can't even begin to count all the different ways pretty well established does not equal looks the same in all major browsers, if you don't believe me just ask google.
I don't like pointing at any one browser in particular (all heads look towards Redmond , Washington) but one of these browsers doesn't stack up compared to the others. It is unfortunate that it has the huge install base it does.
examples of things that just plain suck:
style="display:inline-table;"
png's with transparency
background image under links blinking bug
caching of backgroud images
oh and the whole box model thing
I'm a huge fan of xhtml/css layout's but the css hacks involved, the css issues between different browsers, unless it's a demonstration of how cool you can make things with only <div> tags and css it's not worth the time and effort to get it perfect.
You need to email Mozilla Foundation and Microsoft and complain to them once they get it right.
I 'personally' will make it right till then LONG LIVE TABLES!!!!?
--END RANT
Thanks,
Carl

How to transform fixed table iWeb layouts to liquid CSS based layouts

I'm in the process of changing my website over iWeb and would like to change the iweb fixed table layout to a liquid based layout.
Here's the website I have now: http://teacherweb.com/CA/Newhart/CanKuhn and when changing to iweb I want the layout to change with the window size like it does with my website.
Is this possible with iWeb?

Java.swing is there anyway to use coordinate based layout in java

i'm new to java and swing and all this gridlayout thing is starting to iritate me well not starting i'm fedup of that. i used to like my simple coordinate based layout system from wxpython, and even that of C# , so is there anyway to do that in Java. and whenever i try to add more than one wigit to the frame using frame.getcontentpane().add(wigit) one widit is displayed over the other, plus none of the methods for those wigits work, when i use setbounds i see no change in the wigits and so on. u can ask for my source code i can send it for u if u like.

You can use absolutes, but your shouldn't.
Try usign a combination of BoxLayouts and BorderLayouts and you should be able to do anything. Just realize that only one component can be placed in one location, and if you need more, then add a sub JPanel, and add more components there.

Is it possible to get a black background when using Picture Book layout in iphoto?

I want to customize the layouts more in iphoto--either be able to use a black background when using the Picture Book layout, or have more layout options in the Photo Essay layout. Are either of these possible?
Thanks!

Yes.

Creating my first page using CSS

I am really just trying to make one page to be used as a enewsletter by contactology to send out to 2,000 clients, which I hope to copy the HTML code from the page I create to the database on contactology. What do you suggest I do?

I don't know much about contactology but they have a help page for creating your own templates.
http://www.contactology.com/custom-template.php
They even say in there that you can use Dreamweaver to do this but, if that's all you want to do, I reckon you could use any text editor.
Your main problem comes from your statement, "What program would be the best for someone unfamilliar with HTML and CSS..." Dreamweaver will expect you to have a working knowlege of both.
I saw also on the contactology site that they provide an HTML editor. I imagine that will be a much easier thing to grasp that Dreamweaver.
However, if you are thinking of extending your skills beyond the occaisional email, then getting to grips with DW will be a good thing. You just need to be prepared for some learning.

Why can't I preview my webpage when using CSS?

I'm using Dreamweaver MX 2004. I load up the program, it asks
me what file type I want to use, I choose CSS off the list.
It all loads up. At the moment I'm just testing to see how
things work so I copy examples from "
http://www.w3schools.com/". So
I know that it can't be the script (but I could be wrong, I still
don't know very much about all this.)
I save the file. I know that you have to do this with the
HTML files before you can preview them. But when I click on the
little globe thing which gives me the option to privew (or press
F12) , it's grayed out.
could someone please give me some suggestions on what the
problem might be? It would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for reading!!!

doing this, you create a css file (i.e. external cascading
style sheet).
Such files are code view only and can't be previewed in
design view, (there is nothing to preview).
An external style sheet does not produce anything visible, it
is just a collection of styles that
you can then apply to your html pages.
To apply the styles, create an html page, and from the css
panel, attach the style sheet to your page.
By doing so, Dreamweaver will insert a line of code in the
head of your html page, that looks like this:
<link href="path_to_your_style_sheet.css" rel="stylesheet"
type="text/css">
This lines attaches the external style sheet to your html
page, so now you can apply any style
contained in that style sheet to your html.

Not able to create a universe when using nav. att. 0MATL_TYPE in the query

Dear experts,
A few days ago I posted a message in the BO General Category due to this error and I was adviced to install SP19 in BW (3.5). We've allready installed it but the issue is still arising. I am posting this thread now in this category since maybe the other category was too general and this one a little bit more specified.
The error we are having is the following:
We are having an issue when trying to create a universe over a BEx query which uses navigational attribute 0MATL_TYPE of 0MATERIAL (0MATERIAL__0MATL_TYPE).
No matter where do we insert this nav. attribute in the query (lines, columns, free characteristics...) that we are not able to create the universe. We receive a message when trying to create it such as "error without message"
We have other navigational attributes from several characteristics which are not giving us any problems in universes, just nav attributes 0MATL_TYPE and a Z characteristic (ZMATPR) which is the same as 0MATL_TYPE (it is defined the same way, not related).
We are working with:
BW 3.5 - SP19, BEx 3.x
BOBJ XI 3.0 (without service pack or fix pack)
Does any one have any clue on what could be the reason for this issue??
Thanks in advance for your interest!
Best regards!!!!
Cecilia

Hello Ingo,
First of all thanks for your help, since we are really concerned about this issue.
We have been analysing the file you have talked us about. The thing is that a week and a half ago we had to write an OSS message to SAP concerning another issue, and we were recommended to install note 1260004 which involves editing the registry in order to show SOFA logs, and if we have understood correcty, the file you have given us modifies as well the server registry in order to show sofa logs.
Does the file you have given us includes new information in the SOFA logs, what is the difference between what we have changed with the SAP note and what you have given us?
Nevertheless, we have retrieved two logs from two executions (having navigational attribute 0MATL_TYPE in the query from which we want to create the universe) in case you could help us to interpret the informations given since we are not able to understand it. (You can seen them below my signature.....haven't find a way to attach files....sorry....)
Thank's very much in advance for your help!!!! This is so disconcerting.......
Best regards!
No way , I cannot copy the logs since the message format is destroyed when I copy it..... If you need it please inform me and we will send it to you!
Thanks again for the help!!!

How to create bootable USB when using spinrite

Dear Fellow Community Members
I hope you can help me here as I'm stumped on how to actually get spinrite to run as I'm stuck at the dos c:
I have a Thinkpad E530 on windows 7 OS.
Windows no longer boots because of numerous bad sectors on the HDD.
I want to retrieve/recover files which were created since the last backup.
A friend in the tech industry recommended 'spinrite' which I've purchased.
I've followed the instructions on the website (https://www.grc.com/sr/faq.htm) to create a bootable USB with doswin98 files loaded.
I didn't go through the config.sys step when creating the bootable USB because the PC no longer works.
When I boot the PC with the USB HDD up via F12 command/boot menu, I get the following:
Microsoft (R) windows 98
C:\> spinrite
Bad command or file name
C:\>
Can someone help me with the next step/commands to trigger spinrite to run? Or is there something I've missed?
Thanks in advance.

Hello and welcome,
Are you familiar with/comfortable with Linux? I can't help you with the Win 98 approach you're using, but I am able to boot a Spinrite img using grub2 and memdisk on a flash drive.
I just finished a rather long article (not fully proof-read yet) about bootable flash drives that includes booting Spinrite. It's much too long to post here so I'll link it: A FOB STORY: some notes on bootable flash drives
The Spinrite part of the article is sort of buried in the mess. If you're not comfortable with Linux and low-level stuff like installing a boot loader on a flash drive, it's probably not for you. Better to wait for help with the technique you're using.

How to sync changes in user-created distributions lists when used by multiple Outlook users

Hi all,
Thanks for looking at my post. We are using Outlook exchange and Outlook 2010.
I have created a distribution list that is comprised of 20 members (students) with email addresses outside our organisation. I have sent this list to others in my workteam (Lecturers) and they have added the list to their own contacts group - we
share this list as we all email the same students for different reasons.
My issue arises when a student needs to be deleted from the distribution list and I am the first person to find out about it. Ideally, I would like to take the student off and have this distribution list automatically update for the other lecturers instead
of having to re-send the list to them after it has been edited. As it stands at the moment, each lecturer has to go into the distribution list I originally sent to them to delete the student.
There has to be an easier way to sync the changes that each lecturer makes to this list.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance
Sharyn

You can place the group in a shared Contacts folder so everyone will see the same group.
Depending on your Exchange infrastructure and working habits, this could be a folder in your mailbox, a Public Folder, Shared Mailbox or even a SharePoint List.

Purpose of creating a vault when using referenced files

I have a laptop with a limited size SSD and recenlty installed Aperture to manage my collection of images and video clips (from camera so short). My assets are currently on DVD's and so have referenced these DVD's within Aperature. My long range plan is to copy these DVD's to external drives so that one drive can be at home and the other at work for backup purposes.
My question pertains to the purpose of the vault when media is being referenced. Does the vault back up thumbnails, previews (1280/1280 at 6/med) and metadata...etc? Although most of my media (all but my current Project) is referenced my library file is currently 12GB. I have 13,426 photos/video being referenced on DVD with the current project being referenced with a folder on my laptop's drive. The idea was to monitor the size of the folder of the curren project so as to move to DVD when the size approches 4GB.
I noticed with off-line referenced files that you can not do much with the previews. I figured that with the preview being 1280x1280 one could use the Email function, share...etc. Other than of course previewing and slideshows is there a reason that previews can not be smaller the 1280x ?
Thanks for your time, someone....

I would recommend at least making your previews the resolution of your main display so that you can see the images full-screen when your referenced files are not connected (btw, the resolution of your display will have an asterisk beside it in the preview size drop-down box).
I have my preview size set to 1920 (or maybe even the size up from that -- I can't remember for sure) so that I can easily create slideshows for my HDTV if I want. But here's the catch, I also chose to disable previews for new projects in the Aperture preferences, and also turned off "maintain previews" for all projects in the library. I only create previews for my "better" images. The reason for this is that I'm still very much an amateur photographer who relies on taking multiple shots, stacking them, and then rating and selecting favourites for sharing and personal use. I didn't want my hard drive filling up with thousands of previews that will never be used for anything.
Food for thought!
