Text layout problem

I apologize for the plethora of stupid questions I am about to ask - I am brand new to dreamweaver and atempting to design a very simple website layout for myself. My most glaring problem is this: I wish for text to be in the centre of the webpage and I wish it to stay there. I have drawn an apDiv in the centre of the page and added my text. As you most likely have guessed, as soon as I rezise my browser the background floats under the text.
How can I fix the text so it moves with the browser and stays in the centre?
thanks everyone. here is my code thus far.

1) To horizontally center your web site, use default CSS positioning (which is no positioning at all). APDivs cannot be centered.
2) Define a container width in pixels, ems or percentages.
3) Add margin-left and margin-right of auto (browser default).
CSS:
body {
width: 900px;
background: #666 url(webpageB.jpg) no-repeat center fixed;
margin: 0 auto; /**centers on screen**/
text-align: center; /**centers older browsers**/
#text {
background: #FFF;
color: #000;
width: 300px;
margin: 0 auto;
HTML:
<body>
<div id="text">
<h1>Heading 1</h1>
<h2>Heading 2</h2>
<p>Your text goes here</p>
</div>

InDesign 5.5 Text layout problem--possible preference issue

I do a lot of book layout and recently upgraded from InDesign CS3 to 5.5. I've encountered a problem when I'm editing the text layout
When I make changes to one paragraph (i.e. change the spacing above or below a head or change leading in a particular paragraph), InDesign is automatically changing the word/letter spacing in the lines of the following paragraph. For instance, I added some space before a head. InDesign automattically shifted the spacing of words and letters in the first lines of the following paragraph instead of just shifting all of the text down. In another case I changed one word in a paragraph, and the letter/word spacing changed in the following paragraph.
This is unacceptable and didn't happen in CS3. How can I turn off this "function" ?

What I think is happening here is that you’re editing a layout done in a prior version.
When you open it, InDesign honors the prior text composition but the second you start to edit the new text engine takes over.
You can export the document out of CS3 as INX and open that which will force all the text to recompose at once and you can get it all over with or stick with CS3 to finish up this job.

Dreamweaver + flash = text layout problems.

hi everyone,
I have some small text near the bottom of my web page and when I add my SWF file it shifts the text out of position and I cant put it back without reducing the size of the flash files dimension which I don't want to do. How can I add the flash file without affecting where my text is?
the flash file will overlap the text but since I set its wmode to transparent I can still see the text so its no issue.
thanks everyone here is my code if needed.

Hi,
in CS5 it's the same procedure. Here you can see a screenshot of my (German) DW:
and the procedure in words (translated from my German DW is:
Create a really new subdirectory (optional in order to try, not a must).
Create a new html/php-file.
Work in designMode --> Insert Flash-Video.
Search/browse ---> yourFLV.flv
Skin: Halo Skin 3 (min. width 280) ( it was my choice)
width 640 ( it's my choice)
height 480 ( it's my choice)
I clicked all the boxes
---> And now away with all these files below (produced from DW) to your server.
Best you have a look with WIN-Explorer into your directory, to see all the files DW has created in your subdirectory and don't forget one):
YourFlv.flv
YourFlv.htm (or YourFlv.php)
Clear_Skin_1.swf (DW created it cause of my choice above)
FLVPlayer_Progressive.swf (DW created it)
Here you can see a testversion of my own: http://www.goldschmiede-blumberg.de/AdobTest/flv/flv1.html
If you really did all these without any effort, please send us a link to your website.

Flash CS4 Text Layout Component Problem

Hi,
We are trying to use multiple instances (around 25) of Flash
CS4 Text Layout Component in one file to display arabic text. It
works fine for some random number of instances. However, it gives
problem if that number increases (The text doesnt show).
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks!

If you're referring to this:

Then that's still in beta and you should take your discussion

Problem in running Text Layout Framework online demo

Hi
I am running textlayout_example but while compile itself showing error
1.1061: Call to a possibly undefined method selectRange through a reference with static type flashx.textLayout.edit:ISelectionManager
2.1120: Access of undefined property TextConverter.
3.Could not resolve <s:Application> to a component implementation
4.1119: Access of possibly undefined property INLINE_GRAPHIC_STATUS_CHANGE through a reference with static type Class.
Am using flexbuilder 3 with flexsdk4.0 and flashplayer 10.0.32. I dono what was d problem... Could anyone know about to fix.

From a distance it sounds like there is more than one version of the textLayout swc in your compile path. Looks like you have the spark components so there is one version included with the Flex SDK.
Either that or your examples are out of date with respect to the textLayout swc you have. The releasenotes have details on the API changes.
The most recent examples are available here:

Hope that helps,

Text Layout Framework Bold & Italic don't work on Linux

Hi,
The bold and Italic in Text Layout Framework is not working on Linux with Flash Player 10.1.85.3. Please verify at this link http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/textlayout/demos/ on Linux, by trying to do bold & italic to some text.
is this a problem with Flash Player 10 ?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Avi

Thanks Richard,
The Bold/Italic variant of the font should be present on the client's machine. Now I am finding solution to how to display the fonts which Bold/Italic variant are not present on the client's machine. One way can be embedding the fonts. Anythings else?

Who to get the height of the text in a Text Layout?

Hey, I'm using the text layout component offered by adobe labs. I read the documentation and now capable of doing almost all what I need. I just have a small problem. Lets say I have a text layout object on my stage containing some text. How can I know the height of the text or the number of lines in it ???
I found their is a porperty: "contentHeight" and a method "calculateHeight()" but they are in another class of the libraries that comes with the text layout component. I don't know how to reach them. Please help and write me the lines of code that do this job.
Thanks

Well I was going to suggest that you post in the TLF forums, http://forums.adobe.com/community/labs/textlayout.
But you seem to have found those. So instead I will suggest that you don't cross-post.
Really if anybody could answer that it would be the folks there. I know there isn't a lot of traffic in those forums, but that is because the TLF is really insanely complicated and it is still beta. But it looks like most questions there do get some kind of answer....

Rotated ASCII characters overlap in Text Layout Framework with specific Japanese/Chinese fonts

I am trying to layout rotated text with Text Layout Framework. Mostly okay, but when it comes to specific Japanese/Chinese fonts, problem happens - "hankaku" alphanumeric characters(in other words, ASCII characters) overlap in those fonts. (Full-width "zenkaku" characters have no problem, though)
When "HG丸ｺﾞｼｯｸM-PRO" or "HG正楷書体-PRO" are specified as fontFamily(both come with Office - common fonts in Japanese Windows environment), characters are wholly overlapped.
When "SimSun", "NSimSun" or "SimHei" are specified as fontFamily(Chinese fonts, all come with Japanese Windows XP), characters are slightly overlapped.
If anyone knows a solution or a workaround to this, please let me know.

Not that I know of. Your problem is that you're loading the
content
dynamically, so you have no idea what it will contain.
There's normally
no need to embed Japanese fonts for a Japanese audience,
because they
already have the main fonts, such as Mincho, Gothic, or Osaka
on their
machine. Perhaps you'll just have to give up the idea of
rotation.

Div layout problem

Hi - stuck on what I think should be a fairly basic layout problem:
I have 2 divs, equal widths but varying heights, one floated to the left and one to the right so that they appear next to eachother on the page. The one on the left contains varying amounts of text, the one on the right contains a flash player so never varies.
Where the text for the left div is long, I want it to start off next to the player, but then flow beneath it rather than continuing downwards at the same width as the div. If I remove the width of the left div, so that it reverts to the container width, the player div positions itself below it, so I can't work out how to get the effect.
Can anyone help?

Hi,
hope I understood in the right way: I used (translated from German DW) "modify table" and so I got one more row and two columns in your Main_Content. In one of the new columns I copied the image and beneath I took the text (you now can replace with image and text of your choice), like this:
If that's not a help for your question, please ask me again.
What concerns the width of the pictures, I would format them with PS or a similar program in the same wide.

Design/Layout Problem in OOTB SP "Docs I'm following" page

Hello
The "Docs I'm following" My Sites page in SP 2013 has the following layout problem:
Long document titles overlap with other elements (see also screenshot).
Note: This is default SP, i.e. we have not deployed any custom branding.
I guess this is a problem which can easily be corrected even without having to wait for a SP update. Since I'm not very good with design changes I would be grateful if you could provide
us with a quick fix, e.g. an updated css file.
Thanks a lot.
Best regards
John

Hi ,
For your issue, you can add the following code into your MySite MasterPage:
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.10.2.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function () {
$(".ms-contentFollowing-itemTitle a").each(function(i){
$(this).text(shorten($(this).text(),32));
function shorten(text,maxLength) {
var ret = text;
if (ret.length > maxLength) {
ret = ret.substr(0,maxLength-3) + "...";
return ret;
</script>

Text box problem or question

I'm having the text field problem. I have two text boxes (inside my .fla file) one i can add more text without the box expanding and can then select the text and croll down to view the missing text and the other one just gets longer the more text I add. I'm trying to duplicate the text box that does not expand the more text I add to it.
All the settings in the properties are the same on both and I've tried it in MX and CS3 and the both have the same properties in both.
I'm stumped can anyone help.
I'm attaching the file.
Thanks!

If you right click the textfield on the stage you can select the "scrollable" option for it. Another option to duplicate the textfield is to copy/paste it.

Question on the known solution to the "Three pixel text jog" problem

Hello,
I'm "browser-checking" my website using Dreamweaver CS4 tool for that. I've got in various places the "three pixel text jog" IE problem. I followed the link to solution proposed by DW. It says I should add an IE conditional statement in the <head> part, so that I can define the CSS zoom property for that particular element. Hence, something like that:

(assuming the problem occurs for a <p> inside my #Content div.)
My question is: can I replace this by

For another browser problem (prevent the browsers from using some of their own default settings), it was advised to reset the margin, padding and border properties using:
   border: 0;
   margin: 0;
   padding: 0;
(although in my case I had to later remove border: 0; because it would prevent default buttons of forms to be displayed as buttons.)
Does this * really mean "anything"? Is it valid as used above for fixing the three pixel text jog problem? If not, do I really have to define this zoom property for any single HTML element for which it occurs? (It currently occurs for some headers, <div>, "<div> <div>" sequence, some <p>.)
Any comment welcome...
Emilie
P.S.: I tried it and DW doesn't flag that problem any more, but I'm unsure how much I can trust it.

The behavior is unexpected. The file paths are
correct?

Unlock your phone with the carrier ( I know the process will work if it is jail broken but I am assuming you dont want to void the warranty on your phone) NOTE: even if you purchased the phone outright at Wal-Mart it is still locked to ATT so you will have to unlock the phone. If it's already unlocked skip to step 2. This works and will work even if you update the phone.
1a Here is the link to unlock a ATT iphone. Simply follow the instructions https://www.att.com/deviceunlock/client/en_US/
2. Get a T- mobile SIM. Even if you don't want the service, if you feign interest, they will send you one for free or 99cents. If you need it now you can get one at a T-mobile store too.
3. Once you have both your Straight talk SIM and your T-mobile SIM follow these instructions:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mFFf5uqk18M
4. If you have any remaining questions look at all the responses posted previously on this thread or check out the Howard Forums Wiki: http://wiki.howardforums.com/index.php/Straight_Talk_iPhone
Everything should work flawlessly at this point. If not let me know and I'm happy to help when I can. I hope this makes doing this very easy for everyone in the future. God Bless -J

[svn] 4634: First part of glue code for allowing Halo components to use the new Text Layout Framework , in order to get functionality such as bidirectional text.

First part of glue code for allowing Halo components to use the new Text Layout Framework, in order to get functionality such as bidirectional text.
Background:
TLF is making this possible by implementing a TLFTextField class. It is a Sprite that uses TLF to implement the same properties and methods as the legacy TextField class in the Player. Thanks to the createInFontContext() bottleneck method in UIComponent, it can be used by a properly-written Halo component (such as those in Flex 3) without any modifications to the component.
Note: Text should render similarly -- but is unlikely to render identically -- when a component uses TLFTextField vs. TextField. The width and height may be different, affecting layout; text could wrap differently; etc. This is a fact-of-life based on the fact that TLF/FTE and TextField are completely different text engines.
Whether a Halo component uses TLF or not to render text will be determined in Flex 4 by a new style, textFieldClass. (Gumbo components always use TLF.)
TLFTextField is currently only partially implemented. It does not yet support scrolling, selection, editing, multiple formats, or htmlText. Therefore it can only be used for simple display text, such as a Button label.
Details:
The TextStyles.as bucket 'o text styles now includes a non-inheriting textFieldClass style. It can be set to either mx.core.UITextField or mx.core.UITLFTextField. These are the Flex framework's wrapper classes around the lower-level classes flash.text.TextField (in the Player) and its TLF-based workalike, flashx.textLayout.controls.TLFTextField.
The global selector in defaults.css currently sets it to mx.core.UITextField using a ClassReference directive. For the time being, all Halo components will continue to use the "real" TextField.
The new UITLFTextField is a copy of UITextField, except that it extends TLFTextField instead of TextField. This class has been added to FrameworkClasses.as because no classes in framework.swc have a dependency on it. It will get soft-linked into applcations via the textFieldClass style.
The TLFTextField class currently lives in a fourth TLF SWC, textLayout_textField.swc. This SWC has been added to various build scripts. The external-library-path for building framework.swc now includes all four TLF SWCs, because UITLFTextField can't be compiled and linked without them. However, since they are external they aren't linked into framework.swc.
Properly-written Halo UIComponents access their text fields only through the IUITextField interface, and they create text fields like this:
textField = IUITextField(createInFontContext(UITextField));
(The reason for using createInFontContext() is to support embedded fonts that are embedded in a different SWF.)
The createInFontContext() method of UIComponent has been modified to use the textFieldClass style to determine whether to create a UITextField or a UITLFTextField.
With these changes, you can now write code like
to get two Buttons, the first of which uses UITextField (because this is the value of textFieldClass in the global selector) and the second of which uses UITLFTextField. They look very similar, which is good!
Currently, both Buttons are being measured by using an offscreen TextField. A subsequent checkin will make components rendering using UITLFTextField measure themselves using an offscreen TLFTextField so that measurement and rendering are consistent.

Many of your points are totally legitimate.
This one, however, is not:
…To put it another way, the design of the site seems to be geared much more towards its regular users than those the site is supposedly trying to "help"…
The design and management of the forums for more than five years have driven literally dozens of the most valuable contributors and "regulars" away from the forums—permanently.
The only conclusion a prudent, reasonable person can draw from this state of affairs is that Adobe consciously and deliberately want to kill these forums by attrition—without a the PR hit they would otherwise take if they suddenly just shut them down.
