Record set navigation bar problems

I am creating a site using ASP and MySQL. I have created a
Recordset that returns data from my data base. I have created a
'Record set navigation bar' using Dreamweavers 'Insert > Data
Objects > Recordset Paging' feature but it isn't working. If I
print the record set 'total records' binding it returns the value
-1, so when I click on next in the navigation bar it looks back
through the database and returns a record that is not even present
in the SELECT WHERE recordset statement.
How do I get Dreamweaver to return the correct total records
value?
There is a lot of code in the top of the page, I haven't
included it as I don't understand it well enough to know what bits
of code apply to the record count.
Thanks,
Rob

  • UiXML - table navigation bar problem

    I'm using a <table> element and am databinding the blockSize, maxValue and value attributes to values returned in a DataObject from a method DataProvider. The tableData attribute is bound to a PagedDataObjectList returned in the same DataObject. So far so good and this all looks fine on first render. My problem happens when I start paging. I have 18 items to display and a blockSize of 5. The navigationBar renders fine until I get to the last page on which there are only 3 items. The navigation bar says 'Previous 3' instead of 'Previous 5'. When clicked, the previous five items are displayed. Is this a known bug?
    Thanks

    Hi Arjuna
    We don't want to hardcode the blockSize as this will be a user preference setting. This functionality works in 9.0.2 and Chapter 10 (Tables) of the Developer's Guide gives an example of doing exactly this data-binding - and it does say elsewhere that every attribute can be databound. I notice that some changes have been made to the rendering of the navigationBar in UIX 2.1 - could this have introduced a bug?
    Incidentally when you do hard code the blockSize and the tableData has not been populated ('(No search conducted)' as per the BLAF standard) the 'next' link of the navigationBar is not disabled.
    Thanks

  • Navigation Bar Problem

    Hello
    I have a problem with my navigation bar, took a page out, and so it trimmed the bar down, but i want to take it a bit more because all the other pages look off centre. However when i do this on one page, it does not replicate what i done to the bar on all of my other pages.
    Any advice?
    Thanks
    Dan

    Are you talking about a navigation bar that you have made yourself or the navigation bar that comes with the page template?
    If you have made your own nav bar, then of course you can cut and paste and delete what is there.
    If you are using the nav bar that comes with the page template, then you cannot cut and paste or delete it, but you can alter the width of where it is on the page. You need to look and see on the first page and see if these settings are correct. Make a note of the settings and go through your site and alter every page to those settings and then they should all look the same.
    It all depends on which nav bar you are using.

  • Navigation bar problem - like many others

    I have used Fetch to transfer my iweb page to a server, but no matter what theme i used the navigation bar will not show up, and therefore the other pages are not accessible. Many seem to have had this problem, no one has posted a definitive reason or answer.

  • Navigation Bar Problem - One tab/page not working

    Hi All,
    I apologise in advance if this has been covered, my searching skills are lacking today.
    I have created a website and uploaded. All is fine, but in my Navigation bar my 2nd last page is having issues.
    Once you click on it you cannot click back to any of the previous pages (if that makes sense)
    My website is here: www.makeupbyjade.com.au
    It is the 'Contact Me' page.
    You can click on the page, but once you do, you cannot go back an view another page.
    I am very new to the whole IWeb thing and am still trying to find my feet with alot of it. Does anyone know what i have done wrong????
    Thank you in advance

  • Navigation Bar Problems

    Right now there is a gray box behind the “Thermal Equipment” tab located on the left side on the screen. There is a gray box behind every menu option like that throughout the website (Batch Equipment, Continuous Equipment, Heating Systems, ect.) The problem that I am having is with every different web browser you open, the position of this box is different. It either moves up or down so it is no longer centered on the heading. Is there any way to indicate what page you are currently on other then placing a box behind it?

    So your question is what else can be used to determine what page the user is on? And im assuming yo You can use underline, bold, a colour change etc. But with html and css you can be pretty limited sometimes. You can also use images created with photo editing software to create an up and down state

  • Navigation bar is messed up... how to fix?

    Help! My navigation bar looks fine in iWeb, but the site shows the words in the wrong places, with pieces missing, and includes one heading (jean ann pics) that I eliminated from the navigation bar. I continue to make changes and those come out fine, but that navigation bar (just the welcome page) won't be corrected!
    site is www.mcelroykin.com
    I think that one time when it was publishing there was some kind of error, but I can't recall what it was-- I was on my way out the door...
    Any thoughts on how to fix this??
    Thanks!!!!!
    Liz (frustrated in NC)

    Yes! There are multiple versions of files like you suggested. How do I know which ones to keep?
    Well, the ones to 'keep' should be inside this folder: iDisk/Web/Sites/iWeb/McElroyKin/McElroyKin Blog (News)/McElroyKin Blog (News)_files. If you are viewing your iDisk's contents as icons and you have View Options set to show the icon preview, it should be possible to visually identify the navbarXnormal.png and navbarXrollover.png files to delete from other folders and to copy the correct ones from McElroyKin Blog (News)_files — but, and it's a BIG 'but', this would be a painstaking process at best, and would inevitably be prone to error.
    I'm afraid my advice is quite radical. I would delete everything in iDisk/Web/Sites/iWeb (assuming McElroyKin is your only site) and publish again from iWeb.
    While you're at it, might I also offer some advice about naming your Blog page? All the rest of your naming convention is excellent (I especially like the main site name of McElroyKin), but by naming your Blog 'McElroyKin Blog (News)' you're asking for long, ugly URLs like those which are showing up — for example,
    http://web.mac.com/bakerlizzie/iWeb/McElroyKin/41F182C9-9B24-42A2-AC53-704C9EAB8 FFA/1316BA2A-99C1-44E5-8F35-0517E4AC5298.html.
    Individual blog pages will always finish with that 30-odd-character combination in their URLs, but you can prevent having another one of those earlier in the URL by avoiding certain characters which Apple recommend against using. In this case, I suspect that the parentheses in your Blog name are responsible for this long-windedness, especially when combined with spaces (which, as we all know by now, on their own result in those ugly %20s in iWeb URLs).
    Having said all this, I also have to say that I too have experienced this navigation bar problem. I found that the situation righted itself after multiple browser cache-clearings and refreshes and re-publishings. If you're anxious about following my recommendation about deleting material from your iDisk prior to re-publishing from iWeb, you could first try re-publishing a couple of times without making any further changes in iWeb. Empty Safari's cache each time. See if this clears things up. If not, then it's time for the heavy artillery.

  • Problem building record set using Dreamweaver CS6 Cloud Product

    I am having a problem building a Results Page using Dreamweaver CS6.  I have followed all the steps described in Dreamweaver/Build Search and Results Page Article (multiple times).  It seems that when I save the Results page it does not copy the php used to build the dynamic table.  In fact when I view the source, I do not see any php code. 
    Additionally, when I attempt to bind the record set, it also does not accept the Default Value(s).  Enstead it gives me a list of all data in the colum(s) chosen for the record set (using Where..LIKE..variable definition).
    Any suggestions?
    Regards,
    Norv

    Yes, I will be glad to go through each step.  I will also provide code.
    Step 1:  Built the Search Page by adding Form into exisitng htm page.  Used Insert> Form>Form to insert Form area.  Then added three (3) text fields using Text Icon from the Form Menu Bar (Classic View).
    Step 2: Added a Submit and Reset Button to the Search Page.  Again used the Form Menu Bar to create the Buttons.
    Step 3: Selecte the <form> tag at bottom of Document Window to point Form to the Results Page (using the Action Box.
    Saved page and then began building the Results Page using an existing htm page.  Saved the Results Page as a .php document.
    Results Page:  Here are steps taken to build Results Page (Code will follow):
    1/ On the Results Page created a Recordset using the bindings dialog box.  Used the Advanced Recordset Dialog Box.  In the Advanced Dialog Box I used the Select and Where features to create a Recordset that created a 3 column table (records.County, records.ListPrice, records.PropertyType).  In the Variable box I created 3 variables (varCounty, varListPrice, varPropertyType).  varCounty and varPropertyType parameters are text (Type) and % (for Default Value).  varListPrice parameters are floating point (type) and % (for Default Value).  RunTime Value is $_REQUEST["ColumnName"].
    Here is the Code generated by Dreamweaver.  Note, I am not including the code to access the database, because in all tests I am able to access the table.  In fact first time I built the dynamic table, everything worked and I saw the Colum and default value.  Have never been able to duplicate that effort.  :-)
    Here is code:
    <?php
    if (!function_exists("GetSQLValuestring")) {
    function GetSQLValueString($theValue, $theType, $theDefinedValue = "", $theNotDefinedValue = "")
    if (PHP_VERSION<6) {
    $theValue = get_magic_quotes_gpc() ? stripslashes($theValue) : $theValue;
    $theValue = function_exists("mysql_real_escape_string") ? mysql_real_escape_string($theValue) :
    mysql_escape_string($theValue);
    switch ($theType) {
    case "text":
    $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? "". $theValue ."" : "NULL";
    break;
    case "long":
    case "int":
    $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? intval($theValue) : "NULL";
    break;
    case "double":
    $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? doubleval($theValue) : "NULL";
    break;
    case "date":
    $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? "".  $theValue ."" : "NULL";
    break;
    case "defined"
    $theValue = ($theValue != "") ? $theDefinedValue : $theNotDefinedValue;
    break;
    return $theValue;
    $varCounty_rslistings = "%";
    if (isset($_GET["County"])) {
    $varCounty_rslistings = $_Get["County"];
    $varListPrice_rslistings = "%";
    if (isset($_GET["ListPrice"])) {
    $varListPrice_rslistings = $_GET["ListPrice"];
    $varPropertyType_rslistings = "%";
    if (isset($_GET["PropertyType"])); {
    $varPropertyType_rslistings = $_GET["PropertyType"];
    mysql_select_db($database_MyDB, $MyDB);
    $query_reslistings = sprintf("SELECT records.County, records.ListPrice, records.PropertyType FROM records WHERE records.County LIKE %s AND records.ListPrice LIKE %s AND records.PropertyType LIKE %s", GetSQLValueString($varCounty_rslistings, "text"),GetSQLValueString($varListPrice_rslistings,"double"),
    GetSQLValueString($varPropertyType_rslistings,"text"));
    $rslistings = mysql_query($query_rslistings, $MyDB) or die(mysql_error());
    $row_rslistings = mysql_fetch_assoc($rslistings);
    $totalRows_rslistings = mysql_num_rows($rslistings);
    ?>
    That's the code that was generated by Dreamweaver.

  • Problem with custom navigation bar

    I'm trying to create a custom left navigation bar with adaptive tag. when user click on the link it will direct to a pagelet which is created with page template. How can I do it? I don't understand what is pt:objectid? Where can I look for answer? I just need a simple example. Thank you.

    You can get the object id from the "Edit this Community" feature under "My Communities" then look in "properties and names". If you look in the address bar you could also see the objid in there (objId=1234). I was having problems with this too.
    What I did was use the ptdata tag like this:
    <div id="topNav">
    <pt:ptdata.currentcommunityiddata pt:id="currcomm" />
    <pt:ptdata.subcommunitiesdata pt:commid="1234" pt:id="subcommunityPages" />
    <ul>
    <pt:standard.choose>
    <pt:standard.when pt:test="isMatch" pt:str1="$currcomm.objid" pt:str2="3217">
    <li class="down">
    </pt:standard.when>
    <pt:standard.otherwise>
    <li>
    </pt:standard.otherwise>
    </pt:standard.choose>
    <pt:standard.openerlink pt:objectid="3217" pt:classid="512" pt:mode="2">Home</pt:standard.openerlink>
    </li>
    <pt:logic.foreach pt:data="subcommunityPages" pt:var="varCommunityPage">
    <pt:standard.choose>
    <pt:standard.when pt:test="isMatch" pt:str1="$currcomm.objid" pt:str2="$varCommunityPage.objid">
    <li class="down">
    </pt:standard.when>
    <pt:standard.otherwise>
    <li>
    </pt:standard.otherwise>
    </pt:standard.choose>
    <pt:core.html pt:tag="a" href="$varCommunityPage.url" title="$varCommunityPage.title">
    <pt:logic.value pt:value="$varCommunityPage.title"/>
    </pt:core.html>
    </li>
    </pt:logic.foreach>
    </ul>
    </div></p>
    <p>This is for a community that has subcommunities. you could also do the same thing with pages instead.
    Short explaination:
    This line sets up a data object for the current community data and assigns it the variable name "currcomm":
    <pt:ptdata.currentcommunityiddata pt:id="currcomm" /></p>
    <p>This line gets the subcommunities for a particular community (in this case commid="1234" ). You specify which community with the pt:commid.
    <pt:ptdata.subcommunitiesdata pt:commid="1234" pt:id="subcommunityPages" /></p>
    <p>I used a <ul> for it but you could really do it any way you want.</p>
    <p>I added a static "home" tab that will always link to my top level page of the community. this is optional and there may be a better way of doing it:
    <pt:standard.choose>
    <pt:standard.when pt:test="isMatch" pt:str1="$currcomm.objid" pt:str2="3217">
    <li class="down">
    </pt:standard.when>
    <pt:standard.otherwise>
    <li>
    </pt:standard.otherwise>
    </pt:standard.choose>
    <pt:standard.openerlink pt:objectid="3217" pt:classid="512" pt:mode="2">Home</pt:standard.openerlink>
    </li></p>
    <p>for a link to your page you can use this tag. You can get both the objectid and classid from the "properties and names" page as mentioned above. pt:mode is how/what should be displayed (The action of the link (Opener mode). 1 = Open, 2 = View, 3 =ViewMeta.)
    <pt:standard.openerlink pt:objectid="3217" pt:classid="512" pt:mode="2">
    I also have a choose in there to test if the current community you're in is the same as the community of the link. That lets me add a class="down" for a down state. </p>
    <p>This loops through all the subcommunities and builds a link in this format <li>TITLE OF COMMUNITY</li>. </p>
    <p><pt:logic.foreach pt:data="subcommunityPages" pt:var="varCommunityPage">
    <pt:standard.choose>
    <pt:standard.when pt:test="isMatch" pt:str1="$currcomm.objid" pt:str2="$varCommunityPage.objid">
    <li class="down">
    </pt:standard.when>
    <pt:standard.otherwise>
    <li>
    </pt:standard.otherwise>
    </pt:standard.choose>
    <pt:core.html pt:tag="a" href="$varCommunityPage.url" title="$varCommunityPage.title">
    <pt:logic.value pt:value="$varCommunityPage.title"/>
    </pt:core.html>
    </li>
    </pt:logic.foreach>
    </p>
    <p>Hopefully that is what you're trying to do.
    Like I said, you can use the same process for pages instead of subcommunities by using the communitypagesdata tag instead of subcommunitiesdata. You could also combine the two and list all the subcommunities with a foreach loop and inside each loop get the pages from the communitypagesdata with the commid set to the subcommunity objid for that subcommunity.</p><p>

  • How do set up image based navigation bar in DW CC?

    How do you set up images as the list members that form a navigation bar?

    Spry is gone, true, but CSS most definitely is part of DWCC...
    http://tv.adobe.com/watch/learn-dreamweaver-cc/using-the-css-designer-panel/
    You should be able to follow a css tutorial after familiarizing yourself with the CSS Designer.
    If you don't understand html and css in and of themselves, and you have a budget, you may want to get the Menu Magic DW Extension from Project VII. That would allow you to use the DW Design View interface to make a menu.
    If you have a fair understanding of the basics though, any "jquery menu" or "pure css menu" available freely on the web would do the trick. The vast majority of them come with a quick how to that includes mostly copy/paste instructions.

  • HELP/Problems with pull-down navigator bar

    Hi everyone,
    I was wondering if I could get some input. I have just
    re-designed our magazine's site, www.easternsurf.com
    I used Pop-Up menu function in Fireworks 8 to generate our
    Navigator bar. For the most part everything has been working well,
    BUT we've had a couple of complaints that the navigator bar's
    pull-down menus get stuck behind the photos/banner ads/etc. instead
    of in front of them when viewing in Internet Explorer. I'm on the
    Mac platform (OSX Tiger/Macromedia Studio 8) and have seen no
    problems viewing in Safari, Firefox and Netscape. The only
    complaints have come from Internet Explorer users. A couple of
    people updated their browser to the newest version and the problem
    disappeared, however we've still had a couple of people that have
    written in that the newest version of IE is still not displaying
    properly.
    Also we've got a strip of button ads running down the left
    hand side of each page and I've also seen another issue that's
    common on sites of this type...when the pulldown menu overlaps with
    a Flash element, there is a problem with the screen re-draw. I've
    seen this on several other sites and know it's a common problem,
    but does anyone know of a workaround where this won't happen? I
    just noticed that signing on to Adobe's site, there almost seems to
    be a command where the menu keeps re-drawing at a very rapid rate
    so this won't happen.
    Any input would be greatly appreciated, although I'm Mac all
    the way, we are a business and have to get this site visible for
    everyone!
    Thanks

  • When I set up my new computer, I was unable to restore my navigation bar, and someone else's replaced mine

    I set up my new computer from an external hard drive that I shared with my daughter and is configured to her computer. Even though I downloaded the newest version of Firefox and have my email address in the preferences, I still am showing my daughter's navigation bar and bookmarks. I can't access my own

    I do not use a Mac. But when you install a new version of Firefox it will try to use existing settings etc from what is known as the profile. The profile includes your bookmarks.
    * see [[Profiles - Where Firefox stores your bookmarks, passwords and other user data]]
    *[[Recovering important data from an old profile]]
    If you share a computer with someone normally each user has their own profile, and there may be permissions preventing users accessing one-anothers accounts. Firefox will normally setup a profile in each account. You will need to search for and find your old profile.
    *Any idea where your own old profile is ?
    *Have you still got the old computer, and is it in working order
    ** or is your daughter's computer the only one you had?
    ** who set up Firefox initially was that yourself, your daughter or someone else ? <br /> (They may understand how it was set up)
    Did you backup your bookmarks or your profile, or sync with any other device?
