2 Questions for Layout Help (new to DW)

Hey All,
I'm semi- new to dreamweaver, and although I know the basics, I'm having trouble creating the layout I had planned.
Currently I'm working off a 2 column + header and footer template.
I'm trying to make it so that the header, footer and sidebar are fixed, snapped to their respective sides of the browser no matter how the browser is resized. I would also like to make the main content offer a scroll bar if it exceeds the room between the header and footer. (so that the "room" look isn't ever changed. ie, the floor and ceiling, and dresser stay visable.)
It looks pretty good here.
figure A.)
Though here when I resize the browser the dresser comes off of the floor, and I don't know why.
Figure B.)
So, most important questions are.
1.) What kind of positioning method should I be using to keep the dresser snapped to the floor which is snapped to the bottom of the browser?
2.) What should I change in the #mainContent CSS to offer a scroll bar if the content exceeds the room available?
Bonus Questions if anyone feels extra awesome today.
1.) I have 3 div boxes in the header, Roof_right, Roof_left are both absolutely positioned. The middle Div box has a background of the logo. If I resize the browser enough, the logo actually gets hidden behind the absolutely positioned pieces, which isn't good. How can I fix this?
2.) I would like to stick the dresser about 50px down into the footer if possible, instead of sitting directly on top of it. Is this possible?
Thank you
B

It comes down to how you slice your layout.
http://alt-web.com/DEMOS/Image-slices-in-a-CSS-based-layout.shtml
I would avoid APdivs if at all possible as they take content out of the normal flow and can trip you up if you're not careful.  I would start with the following basic CSS layout.
CSS:
#Container {width: value in pixels; margin:0 auto; /**centers on screen**/; background: url (page-background.jpg) repeat-y;}
#headerWrapper {width: value in pixels; min-height: value in pixels or ems; background: url (roof.jpg) no-repeat;}
#header-left {float:left; width: 25%;}
#header-right {float:right; width: 25%;}
#mainContent {margin-left: value in pixels; height: value in pixels; overflow: scroll; /**scrolling division**/}
#SideBar {float:left; width: value in pixels; background: url (middle-dresser.jpg) repeat-y}
#footer {background: #FFF url {dresser-feet.jpg) top left no-repeat; min-height: value in pixels; text-align:center}
2-column, fixed width, centered

  • More clear question  for slideshow help - Kin?

    Hi Kin,
    You have been very helpful in getting me this far - I know
    this last detail would be a very easy thing for you to do.
    I tried to get it to work for the dssmTitle by adding another
    dssmTitle.addObserver
    http://www.tsgraphics.net/slideshow_test/
    The mouseover function is fine the way it is. It's how it
    behaves during the slideshow that is a little wierd - it just sits
    on the first story. It would be great if it switched to each story
    like the small nav at the bottom highlights to each corresponding
    nav to its story during the slideshow.
    I hope this is more clear.
    Thanks!
    TS

    Hi TS,
    So it sounds like you want to change the current row of
    dschapters and stop the slide show on mouesover, and then re-enable
    the slideshow on mouseout right?
    Try something like this:
    var gTimerID = 0;
    var gInterval = 3000;
    function StartSlideShow()
    StopSlideShow();
    gTimerID = setInterval(function(){
    dschapters.setCurrentRowNumber((dschapters.getCurrentRowNumber() +
    1) % dschapters.getRowCount()); }, gInterval);
    function StopSlideShow()
    if (gTimerID)
    clearInterval(gTimerID);
    gTimerID = 0;
    dschapters.addObserver(function(nt,n,d)
    if (nt == "onPostLoad")
    StartSlideShow();
    <div id="nav" spry:detailregion="dschapters"
    spry:repeatchildren="dschapters" spry:choose="choose">
    <div spry:when="{ds_RowID} == {ds_CurrentRowID}"
    id="nav2" class="currentChapter" spry:setrow="dschapters"
    spry:hover="hoverRow"><img src="{thPhoto}"
    onmouseover="StopSlideShow();
    dschapters.setCurrentRow('{ds_RowID}');"
    onmouseout="StartSlideShow();" /> </div>
    <div spry:default="default" id="nav2"
    spry:setrow="dschapters" spry:hover="hoverRow"><img
    src="{thPhoto}" onmouseover="StopSlideShow();
    dschapters.setCurrentRow('{ds_RowID}')"
    onmouseout="StartSlideShow();" /></div>
    </div>
    On a side note, if you are trying to bring your question to
    the top of the forum again, post a message in your original thread
    ... that is don't create a new thread each time ... that way the
    context of your questions is preserved for others to read. If you
    post new threads each time, folks have to search for your previous
    posts/threads to get context.
    Thanks,
    --== Kin ==--

  • Question for Hatter; re: Newer Technology eSATA Extender Cable

    Greetings Hatter,
    I read in a recent post that you were using the Newer Technology Extender Cable to hook up drives to the extra 2 SATA ports on the Mac Pro's logic board.
    I have a FirmTek enclosure (and a bunch of internal drives) that I used with my G5, and I'd like to continue using it with the Mac Pro.
    Quick question: how is the cable working for you? Any problems?
    Thank you for all the valuable information you post on these forums.
    H.

    The other threads on Newer kit, and www.xlr8yourmac.com report, are a good resource.
    Drives have to be on at startup; can't be unmounted and can't turn on or off while the system is up. Excellent otherwise.
    I added a 1x 2-channel controller also so I now have two choices and makes it easy to work with 4 external drives.
    It was a real sweat to connect the Newer SATA cable to inside ports.
    In the end, using the SeriTek (or Sonnet Tempo) makes more sense overall.

  • This is a question for Schillj HELP!!!!

    Last week you helped me with this code
    unfortunately I am so novice that I cant get it to work anywhere I understand it completely I just dont know where to put it in java code. Unfortutnately the logic is the easy part for me right now. I have researched everything that I dont understand in the code and understand it now. but the code and syntax make very little sense at this point.
    I have a program that allows to input a number and then hit a calculate button that would obviously run the number through this code but how do I implement this or place insert it into a program. HELP!!!!
    final static int MAXVALUES = 7;// 1, 5, 10, 50, 100, 500, 1000// is there a 5000 symbol and beyond?
    final static String[] Symbols ={"I", "V", "X", "L", "C", "D", "M"}; 
    String toRoman(int input) 
      if(input < 0)    
      throw new IllegalArgumentException("Error! value less  than 0");  
    if(input > 3999)     
    throw new IllegalArgumentException("Error! value exceeded 3999");   
    int[] values = new int[MAXVALUES];  
    int scale = 1;  
    int mult = 5;  
    for(int loop = 0; loop < values.length; loop++)  
       values[loop] = ( input % (scale * mult)) / scale;       scale *= mult;    
    mult = (mult == 5 ? 2 : 5);    }  
    // values are now set as per my last post   
    // the fives, fifties, five hundreds values can only be 0 or 1   
    StringBuffer buf = new StringBuffer("");  
    // now evaluate string   
    for(int loop = 0; loop < values.length; loop++)  
       switch(values[loop])    
        case 4:       
      // this can only happen on a 1s, 10s, 100s, etc      
       if(loop != values.length-1)      
    if(values[loop+1] == 1)          
         // special case, this does "IX", "XC", etc                  buf.append(Symbols[loop+2]).append(Symbols[loop]);          
       // now increment loop as we have taken care of the next symbol             
    loop++;          
       else          
    // this does "IV", "XL", etc.           
      buf.append(Symbols[loop+1]).append(Symbols[loop]);          
    break;      
    case 3:
    // this does "III", "XXX", etc        
    buf.append(Symbols[loop]);       
    case 2: // this does "II", "XX", etc        
    buf.append(Symbols[loop]);      
    case 1: // this does "I", "X", etc        
    buf.append(Symbols[loop]);         
    break;       
    case 0:       
      break;      }    }
        return buf.reverse().toString();  }

              romNum = romNum + tensVal[tensAmount] + onesVal[onesAmount];
          return romNum;
    }If anyone can give me any pointers on how to make it better especially with jbuilder. I just want to learn it is my only goal not to scam anyone anywhere.
    thanks!

    If the iPhone has Activation Lock - that is, it's asking for the previous owner's Apple ID and password to activate the device - then you will need that information, or you'll need to get the previous owner to remove the device from his/her iCloud account:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2702
    If you can't reach the previous owner or he/she is unwilling to cooperate, then the device is unusable by you. Return the iPhone for a refund if you can.
    Note also that the Japanese cell carriers will not unlock iPhones for use with carriers in other countries, so you probably cannot use the iPhone in Vietnam even if you can get Activation Lock cleared.
    Please be aware that you are not communicating with Apple when you post in these forums. These are user-to-user support forums, so in almost all cases the only people who will reply to your posts are, like me, your fellow users.

  • Sign in question for LINKSYS help

    When I type "admin" in the username spot it then asks me for a password. I have NO idea what my password is. How can I still access all that I need to? Is there a way to reset it?
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    We have had the same ADSL Router for a year now and we have not had this problem before. I was on the phone to LINKSYS support for 3 hours last night and they could figure this out.
    PROBLEM: For some reason we can see the airport bars or if we connect via Ethernet we see it as a connection on our laptops but it doesn't allow us to connect to the internet.
    The little green light on the router which sits bellow where it says internet isn't green and flashing anymore -  there is no light.
    I called our ISP and they said that our modem had to be reconfigured by LYKSYS and gave me a really long list of letters and numbers. But LYNSIS didn't know what they meant???
    Does anyone know what I am talking about????? PLEASE!!!

  • New to the E90 - grateful for some help ...

    Greetings All,
    Just got my E90 a few days ago. Just a few questions to start off with:
    1. Can anybody recommend a decent free file manager application, i.e. one which actually allows me to browse the entire filesystem? The built-in Nokia file manager only lets you see the \data\ folder in the phone, so for example you cannot see anything you've downloaded from the web!!
    (1b. Or is there a way to change the destination of downloaded files in the web browser?)
    2. Why is the GPS so poor? I live in London, UK, and there must be plenty of satellites available (everybody around me uses GPS with no problem), yet my E90 frequently finds only one satellite, or none at all, and can't triangulate my position.
    3. (This is tricky.) Does anybody else use s2putty? (s2putty.sourceforge.net) It works fine for password access, but it won't accept my private key (says "Cannot use - not a private key"). I've tried creating a brand new key pair in puttygen and still it doesn't work. I think the file format is somehow munged when it's copied over to the E90. Does anyone have any idea about this?
    4. Is it just me or it the user manual really totally rubbish? Is there a good user guide somewhere which tells you how to switch between apps easily, sort out your own menus, get rid of lots of the pre-installed gubbins etc. etc.?
    5. That'll do for a start, unless anyone knows of a good hex editor, DOS emulator or Master Of Magic port ...
    Thanks in advance for any help,
