I must have missed the memo

I just noticed that the Generics forum has had a FAQ sticky for the last 2 weeks. Seems like a reasonable idea. Any chance for one in the other forums?

Wandering back to the original topic ("the thread which is mine"), do you find it worse that one forum had the sticky (assuming that its a Good Thing) but the others don't?
I mean, Sun could easily say, "hey look, the forum software isn't very sophisticated, and since it's free, we simply dont have the time/money/manpower to devote to implementing all these features that everyone wants". This actually seems a more valid stance than what the reality is: the forum software IS capable, and Sun IS willing, but they just haven't done it.
Laziness? Does it really take weeks to implement it into other forums?

    CSS positioning learning - I must be missing the point?!
    Okay I would like to know the benefit of using CSS
    positioning with DIVs when you have templates that helps your pages
    look all consistent with the same navigation or header? I don't see
    how you make a site look consistent doing it the other route.
    I have been reading through a CSS positioning tutorial at
    http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/css_concepts.html
    and it is indeed somewhat complicated ESPECIALLY when you
    have to compensate for Internet explorer quirks.
    So again... someone please tell me what the benefit would be
    to learn CSS positioning....because I haven't for sure figured it
    out. And have liked templates since you can apply them to many
    pages quickly. Is CSS positioning really the future way to go?
    Thanks,
    Angie

    Templates have nothing to do with layout. They are only able
    to control
    your page's CONTENT. The location of this content is
    dependent not on the
    region but on the HTML structure of your page.
    The real advantage of using a CSS layout is that a) the pages
    are somewhat
    to considerably lighter in weight, and b) the externally
    linked CSS file is
    cached so that you don't have to continually load the same
    structural markup
    every time, and c) once you understand how to use the CSS,
    you have so much
    more control over the placement of things on the page....

  • I must be missing the point but...

    I do not know how to ask this question without an example so please bear with me....
    My example is an contact book, say I have many friends (If only more of them were Java programmers) but quite a few share the same telephone number and, pervesely, quite often move to another, often already shared, telephone number. Phew!
    So, I have:
    an Telephone class:
    String number
    a Friend class:
    String name;
    Telephone tel;
    and myself:
    Friend[] friends;
    Suppose I write a GUI that wraps this hierarchy; it shows me a list of my friends and allows me to edit them - specifically to change their telephone numbers.
    Now, here's the bit I don't understand:
    Somewhere I have to have a list of telephone numbers so that when I pop up my 'friend editor' I can generate a drop down list of available telephone numbers (or even add a new one).
    Does this list exist in 'myself', should I loop through all the friends to find out what're available or something else?
    Also, surely I should 'encapsulate' the 'friend editor' in some way so that 'it just knows' where to get the list from (Ie popup a 'telephone number selector') and if so how would it achieve this?
    This is not a GUI/Swing question - I'm pretty sure I can make a half decent GUI - but a question as to how the classes interract with each other whilst still maintaining encapsulation.
    Lastly, I must be missing the point or, due to my C experience, expecting too little of the language but all the tutorials seem to miss this interraction - they seem either to build bare GUIs or basic/extended classes but never a real application showing this aspect.
    Please can someone furnish an explanation/example ?
    Thanks
    Philip

    oh goodie I love discussions like this... well, sort of. I developed a program to store contacts, each contact had a name, an address and various other fields, so what's the relavence? Well, you want a program to store phone numbers and what not, and you need different classes to accomplish running the program, well this is where I think I can help. In my program there were three methods in the main class, they did delete, insert, and edit, then there was save, and load. Inside of those methods is where things came to life. I hope the code below helps in your program somehow.// cm.java

  • You must have connected the Time Capsule with a router that does not work with my direct cable from my ISP

    you must have connected the Time Capsule with a router that does not work with my direct cable from my ISP

    I tried to answer in your other post.. please stick to one thread ..
    What method of internet do you have.. is this fibre install.. if so the TC should just plug in and use dhcp in router mode.. press and hold the reset and it will go back to router mode by default.

  • I ugraded to firefox 5 - and I deleted a few programs - I must have deleted the navagation tool bar. It shows up blank i.e. no place to type in a web address.

    i was deleting a few programs in an effort to delete something that was attached to firefox - and extension.
    I must have deleted the part of the navigation tool bar that show a blank space for one to type in a web address or copy and paste a web address.
    When I right click at the top of the page I get the navagation tool bar - a space comes and goes with the clicking unclickin of that tool bar.
    I have looked all over for that but can't find it.
    any help would be appreciated

    oops!
    first, open up what you have left of the toolbar.
    now, right click on it and choose 'customize'. You should see something called 'location' in the box that comes up. Click on it and drag it to where you want it on that tool bar. You can also click and drag around other items on that toolbar to replace them, or move them as needed. :)

  • Hello. Must have missed/overlooked some settings for my scanner.

    Hi. I'm just starting out in Photoshop and I am supposed to 'import' a scanned file. According to my  directions, my scanner should be listed as a choice in the 'import' menu but is not. I think I might have missed this step when I was installing Ps. Does anyone know how I can remedy this? Thanks in advance.
    (Please disregard my screen name. I entered about 50 screen names that were already taken....)
    My scanner is a Canon MP560
    I have Photoshop CS6
    working on a windows 7
    don't know nothing 'bout no plug in (but I should)

    I would be happy to.
    When you scan, what mode do you use?
    I prefer Photo over Graphic or Line drawing, and I use RGB 8 bit color, 300 ppi scanning resolution.
    I make sure my paper is flat on the glass, even if I must place a book on it.
    I place a a jacket over the scanner to prevent light leaking onto the scan.
    I turn off any filters and keep all other settings at default.
    Then I scan to tiff file format or png. I dislike jpeg if I have to do multiple edits.
    Have you tried those settings?

  • I've been silly and must have missed something...please help!?

    Hi there,
    Right, deep breath.
    I've had the snow leopard install disk for months (upgrading from 10.5.8) and have not been able to install for various reasons.. I get constant error msg's that seem to vary with install attempts. Anyway my focus is not on them today as I installed successfully for the first time... eh not quite.
    I got myself an external HD and backed everything up using superduper. worked great. Then I booted to the snow leopard dvd, did a fresh install by clearing my drive in disk utility and hooray! I was navigating around SL for the first time. But it was brief.
    I then restarted and booted from my external drive and used superduper to restore all files back onto my internal HD and after hours waiting I restarted to find I'm stuck again with 10.5.8!!!!!!
    Now I know I must of done something really quite stupid here but how can I do pretty much what I described but keeping SL the next time around. It's 4am here and i cant think straight so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Jason.

    I am not sure if got all the details.. when you boot from the external you will be on 10.5.8 b/c that is what was backed up now when restore the information it is probably an option so you won't restore the boot/system files have you checked all the options?

  • I can no longer copy multiple files by clicking on the first file and holding the shift key and clicking on the last file. This worked until recently. I must have hit the wrong button at some point

    I have been able to copy multiple photos on my Mac Book Pro by selecting the first picture and then holding the shift key while I select the last picture. This highlights all the pictures and then I can use the copy command. Recently that ability to select multiple photos (or files) has stopped working. I can only guess that I hit a combination of buttons that caused this feature to stop working. Any ideas on how to get this working again.
    Thanks - Mike

    Your Template code is incomplete / corrupted. 
    That's why you can't edit it.
    Try opening your .dwt file in a plain text editor like NotePad.  Remove the editable regions from code.  Save.  Open in DW.
    You will need to SaveAs Template (same name as the one used by your child pages).  Add editable regions to match the ones in your child pages.  Save.

  • I must be missing the obvious - How to update my software version 5.0.1

    When I plugged my iPad 2 into the sync I  updated the iTunes version
    On my device page I clicked onthe update to 5.0.1 and nothing happens
    My desktop is not a MAC
    Is there required software it needs to update my iPad to the higher version?
    my current is 4.3.5 (not listed below)
    Thank you in advance for anyone's help. This is my first time participating in a discussion

    You can download a complete iPad 2 User Guide here: http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/ipad_user_guide.pdf
    You may have to disable your firewall and anitvirus software temporarily to install.  Then download and install the iOS update. After you install iOS 5, you will be able to install subsequent updates via wifi (i.e., not connected to your computer)

  • I Must Have Missed Something - HELP

    Hi -
    I've been a Creative Cloud CS6 user since it was first announced. Now comes Creative Cloud CC Apps. I see I have options to download / update both. Could you point me to a concise rundown of the whats, whys and hows between the two. Can I keep BOTH?
    Any assistance would be really helpful. I really love the Cloud version of the CS6 apps and wouldn't want to lose any of their capabilities. The CC versions look good but seem to lose some features compared to CS6 in the cloud.
    Many thanks -

  • Previews - i must have missed something

    spent a lot of time yesterday doing some preview cleanup based on insights here. reset the size. regenerated a lot. deleted quite a few that i knew i would not need.
    next time i started up Aperture, it immediately started to build a bunch of previews. i didn't count how many i deleted, but it was probably in the ball park. is this what happened? what else should i have done?

    try clicking the little cog when the library ios selected and uncheck maintain previews ...
    i read this on a users blog ... can't remember who now, but it really saved me a big headache and some cussing at aperture ...
    ah ha, found it ...

  • Was anybody even able to watch today's iPhone 6 event?  Where I am I must have had the connection dropped

    & the video frozen 50 times before giving up.
    Tried watching the iPhone 6 event over my 12Gb fiber connection.  All was well up until 1 minute before the event started.  From there on out it was nothing but video freezes, dropped connections to the Apple website, errors loading the page, and on and on and on.  Went from the MBP to the Apple TV, and just more of the same "error loading this content",  spinning gear for minutes at a time, "please try later".  TOTAL FAIL.
    During the World Cup which was watched on line by many, many times more people without a doubt, I could run two simultaneous HD feeds over the same connection with nary a hiccup.  Apple blew it big time.

    Oh no... NOT THE 99-PAGER!!! Anything but THAT!!!
