DW CS5 question about page layout viewed in different browsers

Hello.
I am still very new to Dreamweaver CS5 and I need help with the appearance of a new website that I have been creating. We are mac based and I'm currently using Mac OS10. The layout I have created should appear centered on the page and it contains a solid background image. When I view it on our macs using Safari, everything looks exactly as it should, but when viewing it on a PC using the Internet Explorer 8, the text, spry menu bar and image of a doctor on the right hand side (that is set to change every time the page is refreshed), all shift to the right. Any advise on fixing this issue would be extremely helpful. The index page and the pages under the obstetrics menu are the only ones that I have completed so far. Here is a link to the web page: http://www.advertools.net/COBGYN/index.html
Thank you for your assistance.

Hi
Yes, I am referring to the fact you are using absolute positioning for the divs, and that this is causing your problems.
If you change the top, left/right values you are using to position them to % values this will alleviate the problem, (not completely though). Instead of say -
top: 500px;
left: 450px
use
top 70%;
left: 40%;
The values are only examples and you will have to adjust these to suite your needs.

Question about reports layout

Hi ,
I have a quick question about report Layout.
I have created a report in 6i. Now if I want to change my
select statement and add new table to select from , it just
restructures my report layout again and set that to Default One.
Is there any way where I can set my Own layout as Default for
that particular Report ?
I would really appreciate any feedback.
Thanks
Vidya

Try to give it alias names to the columns . Then when you
change the table your are selecting from . The layout should
not change.

Question about page margins

Hello all. I am trying to get started with my first document that will later be part of a book. My question is what to do about page margins. I imported my text, and then after that I tried to change my page margins, to make them larger. But when I did that, it created purple lines at the new margins, but the text is still filling out the old margins, going over the new margins.
Not sure what to do here.

Before changing the page margins, go to Layout > Layout Adjustment and select enable and the applicable options. Then make margin changes.

Question about Page Builder behavior - how to get a "please wait message" ?

Hi all together,
I got a question about Portal Framework / Page Buider handling iView Integration.
We are working with a lot of App Integrator iViews and often the pages includes with app integrator are loading longer than the rest of the portal. So there is the idea to put in a "please wait while loading message" for the enduser.
I analysed the html code, the page builder is generating and foud out 3 diffrent approaches how the page buider is rendering the IFRAME with the integrated application configured with an app integrator iView.
My question is how can I influence this behavior to put a "please wait while loading message"?
Different types of iView integration in the client I have seen:
a) direct loading of the content in the IFRAME (<iframe id="" ... scr="/mysource">)
b) Filling the iframe with 'about:blank' and loading the content later by filling a form with JS
( <iframe id="" .... scr="about:blank">and after the iframe <form id="" action="mysource" ...>
c) Filling the iframe with a html file from the portal layout and loading the content later by filling a form with JS (similar to b)
( <iframe id=""" ....scr="/irj/portalapps/com.sap.test.mylayout/html/blank.html>
I checked that variant b) is getting generated when loading a page with different components on the side (not only the app integrator iview) and variant c) is generated when just one app integrator iView is positioned (no portal page).
Goal: To get the "please wait picture" I want to know how to get variant c) in cases of different elements on one page
So I would be able to put this picture on the HTML-Page in the Portal layout (blank.html)
Hope, someone with a deep portal / page builder know-how can help me out!
Another way: Does anybody knows another way how to put a "please wait message" while app integrator application is not loaded yet?
Thanks in Advance and kind regards,
Jens

Hi Jens,
there are several reasons why you don't get the loading animation:
Web Dynpro ABAP: https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1432358 -> missing configuration
Wrong height size for iView: https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1358494 -> alter configuration of the iFrame height (loading animation gets displayed, but is hidden)
FPN, BSP, BEx: https://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1290995 -> AI isn't showing the animation because of performance considerations. I guess that is your case. Depending on your portal version this is a simple service configuration or involves some customization.

InDesign Character & Page Layout views

I am having an issue where there is nothing showing up on one of our designers character palette & page layout palate. Therefore if we add a new page to the document we just get a blank box in the page layout palette. Similarly nothing at all shows up in the character style box (normally you get fonts / sizes / etc there. It's just an empty box!
Any ideas. All the other palates appear to be fine.
He is using CS3.

Sounds like a case of corrupt preferences. (Trash) reset your preferences.

Question about Page WIdth

Hi. I know this is probably a stupid question but I can't seem to find the answer anywhere.
I am using iWeb 08 and have built a site using the "Main Event" theme. I would like to make the pages bigger than the default 700 px width; however, if I increase the width in Inspector, it doesn't look right because the Page Background-Image Fill-Tile leaves a gap on the right hand side. Basically the Browser Background image shows a long strip from the top of the page to the bottom about 20 px long (my guess).
In addition, the page doesn't look right because the Navigation Bar at the top of the page uses an image as a background (which also serves to make the text readable. When I make the page wider in Inspector, I can then drag the Navigation Bar box wider but can't seem to get a hold of the image behind it to make it bigger.
I hope I explained my problem.
Thanks.

Noon question about removing crosshair view

I hit a key and now I have a view over my composition of a crosshair look which I heard means its allowing a small window in the center to be ram previewed rather than the whole comp. How did I turn this on and how do I remove it? Thanks. (After effects cs5)

I'm not sure if we are talking about the same thing. I am supposed to be able to remove the region of interest view by clicking the button for it and that doesnt remove this is just lets me make on in the first place. I am talking about a wireframe look over my comp with a bunch of squares on the border and a cross in the very center. Is this the same thing?

Newbie question about entity and view objects

Hi everyone,
My first ADF application in JDeveloper is off to a difficult start. Having come from a forms background, I know that it is necessary avoid using post-query type lookups in order to have full filtering using F11/Ctrl+F11. This means creating an CRUDable view and getting as much of the lookup data as possible into the view without losing the ability to modify the data. In JDeveloper, I do not know how to build my data model to support that. My thought was to start with a robust updateable view as my main CRUD EO and then create a VO on top of that with additional EOs or VOs. But, I have found that I cannot add VOs to another VO. However, if I link the VOs then I have a master-detail which will not work for me.
For example, I have two joins to CSI_INST_EXTEND_ATTRIB_V shown in the queries below and need to have that show in the table displaying the CRUD VO’s data. It seemed that the best way to do this is to create a CSI_INST_EXTEND_ATTRIB_V entity object and view object. The view object would have two parameters, P_INSTANCE_ID and P_ATTRIBUTE name. Both the building and the unit are needed on the same record, and this is not a master-detail even though it might look that way. (A master-detail data control will not work for me because I need all this data to appear on the same line in the table.) So, I need help figuring out the best way to link these to the main (CRUD) view; I want as much of this data as possible to be filterable.
select
cieav.attribute_value
from
csi_inst_extend_attrib_v cieav
where cieav.instance_id = p_instance_id
and cieav.attribute_code = 'BUILDING NAME'
select
cieav.attribute_value
from
csi_inst_extend_attrib_v cieav
where cieav.instance_id = p_instance_id
and cieav.attribute_code = 'UNIT NAME'
Ultimately, I need to display a ton of data in each record displayed in the UI table, so a ton of joins will be needed. And, I need to be able to add records using the UI table also.
James

Hi Alejandro,
Sorry if I caused confusion with my first post. What I had in mind assumed that I could have a single CSI_INST_EXTEND_ATTRIB_V EO with a BuildingVO and UnitVO on top of it. So, I wrote the queries individually to show how I would invoke each view. When I realized that confused the issue, I rewrote the query to explain things better.
Now having seen your 2 queries. You need to create 2 EO. One for each table. Then create an association between the 2 aeO (this will be the join you are talking about). Then, you need to create a VO based on one of the EO and after you can modify and add the second EO (in here you select the join type).
After your done with this, youll have 1 VO that supports CRUD in both tables.
There were three tables in the query: CIEAV_BUILDING, CIEAV_UNIT, and T -- the main CRUD table. When you say that I should create two EOs, do you mean that they are to be for CIEAV_BUILDING and CIEAV_UNIT? Or, CIEAV and T? Assuming CIEAV and T, that sounds like it would allow me to show my building or unit on the record but not both.
By the way, everything is a reference except for the main CRUD table.
Look forward to hearing from you. Thanks for your help (and patience).

5 Questions about Pages 5

Does Pages 5 currently support finding paragraph returns?
Does Pages 5 currently support finding dumb quotes and turning them into smart quotes?
Does Page 5 currently support Comments in the way that Pages 4.3 does?
What happens to Pages 4.3 Comments when Pages 5 opens the file?
Is Pages 5 able to interpret RTF commands properly when opening RTF files?
When Pages 5 was introduced about a year ago, I balked. I’m intensive user of Pages 4.3 and was stunned at the extensive list of rescinded functionality in Pages 5. I’m aware Apple has been adding some of 4.3 functions back in. But is it going to be enough?

1. Yes, in a clumsy round about way
2. You'd have to search on space quote, quote space and do the substitution
3. No. They are all individual pop-ups and you can only see them one at a time. And can't print them.
4. I assume it converts them to the new format.
5. Pages 5 will not open .rtf files, you need to open them in TextEdit or similar and copy paste the text across.
No. If anything the number of missing features we have discovered has grown and is currently over 110 missing.
Also the bugs have grown and there is a good likelihood at some stage of not being able to open your files nor accessing any of the content.
If you are an experienced Pages '09 user then Pages 5 will be a severe disappointment and handicap. The only people who seem to like it are newbies and users who never knew how to use Pages in the first place. We've had some even declaring features which are in Pages '09 and better implemented, are the reason they "upgraded" to Pages 5. Dangerous to themselves and everyone around them.
As long as you make sure not to irrevocably convert your existing files to the new format, there is no harm in installing Pages 5.2.2 and trying it for yourself.
iWork '09 will simply be moved to an iWork folder inside the Applications folder.

Questions about Classical Layout Formatting

Hi,
Just a question on classic reporting. Im pretty sure we can customize the layout of a classic report to look like this, ie.
SDN
   SAP
     &nbsp:NETWORK
Therefore, when a user print this report out, will the report come out this way?
When the user export to a csv and text format, will the format still be the same?
Thanks,

I just found out that I can't even transfer my Users folder or Program Data to other drive than the one with the system, because it would prevent me from updating my system or even from actually booting to my system. So apparently my whole topic is for nothing... I guess I should live with only one drive, and whenever my system totally crashes again I should do the backups to my external HDD. It's sad though that Windows 8 is a total opposite to user-friendly OS, to say the least.

Question about page

I downloaded a template and it seems to work but I cant
figure out where the code is coming from on the index.html or
index_dream.html.(Dreamweaver) I can see the generic latin text in
the code view but I can't see or edit it in design view. I have put
a link to the entire template ZIP file on my website.Please click
on the button for web design. It is named template with flash.Here
is the link. Thank you!
http://www.jeffreyusa.com/
If anyone could take a look at it and try to explain it to me
I would greatly appreciate it.I registered the domain name of my
site, bought web hosting and uploaded the files I created in
dreamweaver to it so I'm not exactly a newbie, I guess, but I am
still just learning dreamweaver and web applications. Thanks again.
P.S. The website is my first attempt so it has not been
tweaked to the way I want it.Mostly just for testing. Any comments
or suggestions would be welcome.

Thanks, Jaime

A question about page properties

I am new to dreamweaver going through tutorial.
In the book it tells me to modify page properties. The pop up window on my computer shows up differently than in the book. see attachment of screen shot from my computer
In the book it is different.
1. Category - Appearance has controls for typography, that is not on mine
2 Category also shows access to Links and Headings between Appearance and Title/Encoding
I am working in dreamweaver 8 but have also opened up dreamweaver CS3 and it comes up the same way.
I use a Macbook Pro OS X.4.11.
Help !

I'm wondering if somehow toggling the HTML/CSS preferences might get your dialog box to match the one you see in the book. See this Help page for more info, make the switch, and then open the dialog box again to see if that works.

Question about page sizes

I received a PDF file that should have letter sized pages 8.5 inches by 11 inches. The page size in the lower left hand corner says that the pages are 35.42 inches by 45.69 inches or approximately 4 times the normal size. The file is readable at 31%, but I cannot print it out. Only the center portion of the page prints. Is there a way to reduce the page back down to 8.5 by 11? The sender and I are both using adobe accrobat 8.

George,
Thank you so much for your prompt response. I found this out by chance late last night.
Thank you again,

Question about page Orientation

Hey guys,
I have a couple of questions,
I Know there are issues between Safari and acrobat's browswer plugins, without having to resort to unsinstalling adobe.
Also If I do continue to use adobe reader, is there way to reverse or mirror image the pdf and save that preset to that printer so it happens everytime.
I am trying to print out tickets using pdf's online, and have to rotate the image twice so that it appears upside down, before the ticket will match the paper, and print correctly.
We have staff, that don`t necessarily work all the time, and keeping this process to a single "just hit print" type of scenario (simpliest way possible), is what were trying to do.
So I would like to adjust, the pdf reader to automaticly rotate the pdf the minute the pdf is loaded online.
Any help is greatly apreciated,
Thanks,
soundguy

I apalogize for that, it wasen`t that I was trying to ask the same question because I didn`t get a respnse, it was more that I was trying to better explain myself, and clairfy the question. The earlier post I admit was a bit confusing, and I have since narrowed the problem a bit.
sorry,
