Layers disappear when inserting HTML

I hope there is a simple solution to this. I am trying to use
layers for a simple webpage and when I insert Fireworks HTML into a
layer, all of my layers disappear and become layout cells on my
page. Has anyone seen this before?

  • Layers disappear when saving in CS6

    My layers disappear when I try to save in Photoshop CS6. They disappear when I get to the last step before saving(where you can select the quality and stuff). The effects stay, but they become kind of crappy. I've no idea how this happened either. I was just working on some pictures one by one, and then suddenly, it started happening. I did nothing differently.
    Reinstalling didn't help either. What the hell is going on?

    You're seeing normal behaviour/results. Most image file formats do not support layers and there can be subtle to huge differences in the display of a layered doc versus its flattened composite because Photoshop uses imprecise shortcuts to generate the composited display of a layered doc. The display discrepancies can be minimised by viewing at 100% zoom.
    While working on a document, check adjustment layers, effects and layer blending with zoom at 100% so there are no nasty surprises lurking in the doc. (Of course, I realise that there's a very good chance that you may be viewing only a small region of an image when zoom is 100%.)
    Regarding the JPEG save in particular: when you are at the stage of picking quality/compression, there is an option of previewing the result of the compression. JPEG doesn't support layers, hence the flattened composite at that stage. Your open doc will still be layered after you commit the save.

  • CS3 Layers disappear when importing map into InDesign

    I have an Illustraor .ai file of a map with many layers and when I import it into my InDesign document
    some of the layers disappear. When I open the map in Illustrator they are all turned on but in InDesign some seem as they are turned off or transparent. Very frustrating...any help is appreciated!

    Thanks so much for your responses. Although I don't complete understand what the issue was becasue I am no Illustrator expert I did find a solution. I found that there were multiple layers within a layer and also many of those layers had paths/compound paths. So I pulled the layers within out and made new separate layers for them all and removed unnecessary compound paths. So now I have many layers instead of a couple layers with multiple layers within. Confusing I know...but it worked!
    Thanks again for your input.

  • Layers disappear when creating a symbol

    Hello,
    I've created a symbol using several layers, however when I play the composition back, nothing is visibile.  What am I missing?  The symbol is made up of 2 lines that sprint out from another object.

    Yes you can edit your symbols. Right click on the element panel and chose edit symbol. Remember that like in Flash, all instances will be changed to the new edit.

  • Slideshows Disappear when Exporting HTML

    I just upgraded to the most recent version of Muse Version 6.0 Build 751. I have a small intranet site for my company that I built with muse and have had no issues with it for about the past year (I started out using the beta). I usually update the content on it every week or two and it's all static, mostly things like newsletters and internal memos. Since it's an internal site I just export the html to the folder where it is hosted. Today all of the slideshows on the site disappeared after I exported it. I thought it might be a glitch so I exported it again. Same problem. They are just completely gone. So I thought maybe there was an issue with the old slideshows I had created in a previous version not totally jiving with the newest build. So I deleted a slideshow and rebuilt it. Exported the html and it's still gone. If I preview the site in muse or preview it in a browser everything is there. For some reason when I export it all of the slideshows disappear. Below is a screenshot of the site when I preview it in the browser. The next screenshot is what the site looks like after the export. Someone please help me out!!

  • Why do my layers disappear when I save a .jpg?

    Photoshop has learned a new trick in my office today:
    I arrange all of my text and layers the way I want them, get all ready to save and my group of layers becomes invisible. This is odd. They are all set to be visible in the layers window, soI select the group, use the move tool to wiggle them and they reappear. I put them back where they belong, all is good, I save my .jpg and the layers are not visible when I open the .jpg. They are, however, visible in the thumbnail version of the image in Windows Explorer. I go back to Photoshop and the layers are invisible again in spite of being set to visible.
    I am at a loss. I have never experienced this before. I thought maybe it was my video card screwing up so I restarted my computer and the problem is still there. Has anyone experienced this before?

    Maybe this will help. This is a screenshot of what I am talking about. All of the layers that I have circled in red should have a picture of a TV, some text, shapes, etc. All are marked as visible yet I can't see them.They are not off the drawing board, nor are they under the background. If I select the containing group and move it, they become visible again.
    This is directly after trying to save a .jpg.
    This is what it looks like when I try to view my .jpgs in Windows. This is the filmstrip view. When I open the .jpg in Windows Picture Viewer, all I get is the background image like the one here but if you look at the thumbnail, you can see what it is supposed to look like. I have never seen this happen before in 2 years of working with Photoshop.
    Any help or direction with this would be greatly appreciated, I am at a loss as to what could be causing this.

  • CS6 2D layers disappear when 3D layer added

    Doesn't seem to matter if it's classic or raytrace renderer. All non 3d layers become invisible. If I make them 3D, they appear. Strangely, if I nest the comp into another comp, everything shows up only when viewing through the new comp.
    I've tried purging cache and memory with no luck. Restarting AE doesn't help.

    File it under the "one more of those CS6 bugs" category. Though you might try to check, whether the issue actualyl occurs when only running with the internal display. You could simply be running out of resources for all that hardware acceleration crap they threw into the program.

  • Layers disappear when I click on them

    I have photoshop elements 9. When I go to click on a layer to move it, the layer disappears or moves to an obscure location without me moving the cursor. I have tried restarting the program but it does not seem to work. Any suggestions?

    If you move a layer below a layer with no transparency in it--i.e., the whole layer is opaque, it will disappear since what's on top covers what's below it. If that's not what's happening, try deleting the preferences: quit the editor, then restart it while holding down ctrl+alt+shift (command+option+shift on a mac), and keep the keys down till you see a window asking if you want to delete the settings file. You do.

  • Inserted HTML and Images

    Is it possible when inserting html in Muse, to have images within the html text? If we will be using Adobe Catalyst, what will I need to do to properly code the images into the text?

    Hello,
    You can use the <img> tag between the text. More info on : http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_img.asp
    In place of Image Path, use "/Assets/Filename.extension" (replace filename.extension with the filename of the image).
    After that use File>Add files for upload and select the image so that it gets added to Assets folder when you Publish the site.
    You might not be able to preview it but you can use File>Export as HTML and view the whole site exported in a local folder.

  • Inserting html

    When inserting html code into my muse website it seems to move my headings and images move down how can i prevent this from happening?

    Hi William
    I can give you a couple of options for html editors:
    1. Download Taco HTML Edit (It's free)
    2. Use Text Edit, (To use Text Edit, launch the app, go to Text Edit > Preferences > Click Open and Save > Check “Ignore rich text commands in html files”)
    With regards to how to insert the text, take a look at the articles page from Michael Wong's site www.rowan-cottage.co.uk.
    Or if you are putting the same text on multiplpe pages look at some thing like MassReplaceIt, there is an article on using this tool for favicons at www.willg4pb.com, used in conjunction with the article from Michael it makes it all quick and easy!

  • Inserted HTML does NOT push content when resized

    Hi,
    we are building a website for a hotel and are bound to include their channel manager module into the site. In order to do that, you have to follow these steps:
    1. Paste JavaScript code into the head section to load the module.
    2. Place a short line of code with "insert HTML" into the site where the module should appear and that's it.
    The module is generated by a server-side script from the channel manager's server and pasted into an iFrame that is also generated by this very script. The thing is: It resizes the height of the iFrame depending on the displayed content in the iFrame. So we start with 301 px height when we call the page and start the search for free rooms. The results are displayed on a 1400 px iFrame, which resizes properly when showing the results.
    THE PROBLEM: The footers stays put and the iFrame runs behind it and off the display port. There is also no scrollbar showing up allowing me to scroll to the bottom of the iFrame.
    We got three layers:
    3. Top Layer (Containing top navigation and footer, both defined in a master page that is applied to the content page)
    2. Content Layer (Containing the inserted HTML with the generated iFrame)
    1. Background Layer (Well, it contains background elements)
    WE NEED: The footer to be pushed by the ever resizing iFrame and get a scrollbar when neccessary due to iFrame height.
    What are we doing wrong?

    Thank you for your suggestions, although I don't think they will fix the problem.
    We cannot alter the server script in any way, since it is located on the channel manager's server and is just called with a customer id to show our client's hotel related data. They resize the iFrame using an inline height style tag. This causes the page to not recognize the size change and not even showing a scrollbar at all, when the iFrame exceeds the view port.
    We already put a div around the JS-call which expands with the iFrame as expected.
    <div id="u1218"><!-- custom html -->
    <div>
    <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
    function();
    </script>
    </div>
    </div>
    This results in an iFrame inserted after the script tag, the div around the script expands correctly. We already removed any master page objects, created a blank new master page to define header and footer areas and pasted our menu and footer directly into the page of question on the same layer as the inserted html box went. So for our understanding the expanding div around the script should push the footer on this page to whereever it ends. It just doesn't. Also we do not get any scrollbar, although the iFrame clearly gets larger than the viewport area and the page just doesn't recognize it.

  • Upper layers partially disappear when lower layers are oriented

    I have several layers of a website - each of which have 3D turned on and which were oriented to provide some perspective. I've noticed that when the layers are oriented, they tend to intersect each other - so I see some of one layer and some of another layer. I've also placed an animated graphic of a cursor on top of all the layers. When I reposition the cusor - and it moves into an area of the graphic below - it disappears.
    It seems like there's a diagonal line running down the graphic and when images in layers above intersect with that area - they somehow diappear behing the oriented image below.
    How can I prevent this from happening?
    I was going to insert an image - but when I click the camera icon - all I get is a big grey box that says 'Insert Image' - but no way to select the image I want to insert. Very strange!

    Your layers are intersecting because they are intersecting in 3D space. Look at a left or right view and you'll see the layers cutting into each other. If you want them not to intersect then you have to move them. The most common thing to do is to change the Z distance. It sounds like you don't understand 3D space. AE works like all 3D apps except that the layers are limited to 2D planes. If they intersect in the 3D world then they intersect. If one moves behind another then it is behind. The layer order does not make any difference unless you start inserting 2D layers or adjustment layers between 3D layers.
    I have no idea what you mean when you say "I was going to insert an image - but when I click the camera icon - all I get is a big grey box that says 'Insert Image' -  . . ." because you don't insert images into After Effects, you import them to the Project panel and then you drag or add them to the timeline. There is no camera icon in AE that has an Import function. What exactly are you doing and what app are you using to Insert something by clicking on a camera icon. There are no Insert functions in After Effects.
    I suggest you look for some basic AE tutorials on 3D space. There are dozens if not more that give you the basics.

  • Text disappears to the right and below inserted html, any ideas?

  • When inserting a single page pdf into another pdf, some of the text disappears

    Currently working on a fairly big pdf. Have a single pdf which opens up fine. What i am trying to do is insert this single page pdf into the larger document. When it is inserted, not all the characters are being displayed like b, v, u etc. If I highlight the areas that have the text missing and choose copy, and paste it into word, all the text is there. Its just not actually showing in the final pdf. What has got me, is that if I open the single page pdf by itself, it opens up fine. Parts of the text only disappear when it is inserted into the larger pdf document. Any thoughts as it has me stumped!!!

    Does the Visio PDF look correct in Acrobat? You might try to save the VISIO file as an EMF file or other vector graphic and create a PDF from there. VISIO has had major problems in the past and that may be associated with your problem.
    Just for the heck of it, have you tried the reverse insertion? Try inserting the longer PDF into the single page one and then move the page to where you want it with the pages view.
    Excuse my mood, but I am real tempted at this time of the evening to simply say your error was in using VISIO. Like I said, sorry.

  • Why does RoboHelp HTML v11.0.1.235 crashes when inserting a script?

    I inserted the following script
    "<noscript>
    <!--Javascript is not enabled-->
    </noscript>".
    I used the menu options Insert > HTML > Advanced > Script. Unfortunately, RoboHelp places this tag inside the "<script>" "</script>" tags which causes errors. I was in the procces of moving the tags when RoboHelp froze. RoboHelp (HTML) v11.0.1.235 was installed on my system last week. There is an Add-on to Microsoft Visual Studio (v4.5.50938) where all the files are kept in Source Control. The contents of the problem details are below:

    I have to update all HTML files with the noscript tag for browsers that users may have that does not support Javascript. My predecessor entered the HTML coding (script) incorrectly. by entering the text "Javascript is not enabled" at the top of each topic page in the online manual. Unfortunately, users accessing the WebHelp manual discovered that when "full text" or "word" search was performed the text appeared in the search results as part of the title of the page. When looking for assistance on how to correctly insert this tag I came across the RoboHelp Reference for entering this script. Note: I was using RoboHelp v9

    This is how the above is entered in a topic: (HTML view)
    This is how the script/tags should appear.
    The system does not freeze up every time. I can work on a few topics (maybe 5 or 6) then it will freeze. I am not sure if the problem has anything to do with inserting a script but this is the only time it freezes. I use RoboHelp on a daily basis and is in it all day long for I am a Technical Writer assigned to preparing and updating online manuals. If I am creating a new topic or updating content on a topic (Design view) the system doesn't freeze up.
