Adobe has made upgrades with the Dreamweaver CS6 fluid grids. Is there a better tutorial than this?

It there a better tutorial than this anywhere http://blogs.adobe.com/dreamweaver/2013/02/updated-fluid-grids-in-dreamweaver.html ? I can't seem to understand this guy. I know he means well. I really want to learn fluid grids. Thanks any reconmandations?

If you want to learn to make responsive Web pages, do not rely on
Adobe's fluid grid system. Learn CSS yourself. If you need to rely on a
grid framework, then you are barking up the wrong tree. I can absolutely
guarantee that if you do not fully understand the theories behind
responsive design and you use the Adobe fluid grid (or the open source
frameworks/scripts that Adobe uses) your site will eventually break.
Study and learn. If you are sharp enough, you will quickly come to
understand that nearly every article and tutorial on the subject is
plain wrong. The essence of responsive design is very easy and does not
require anyone's code but your own.

  • Centering a page in Dreamweaver CS6 Fluid grid

    Centering a page in Dreamweaver CS6 Fluid grid.
    I figured this would be an easy task and have saved it to last. After watching videos, scanning the web and this forum I have found many answers but none of them seem to work in CS6. I currently have an extra 1-2% margin on the left to get the page closer to the middle but this doesn't work well with all screen sizes and its still not in the middle.
    Page can be found here
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

    It looks like you've nested the rest of content within your #header DIV. And header div's width is 94.4% - this results in everything on the site have a ~5% margin on right.
    You may want to fix this first to see if it helps you with the result you intend to get. If not, do post back.

  • I have a MacBook Pro 15.4" 2.53GHz Core 2 Duo (A1286) - Mid 2009 MC118LL/A and I think the MATSHITA DVD-R   UJ-868 is going out. Should I replace it with the exact same drive or is there a better one that is compatible?

    I went to my local Apple store last weekend with a similar issue on my 2007 C2D MBP and they quoted me a price of around £60 (excluding VAT) to replace the optical drive. That's about the same price as the external optical drive a bought for my RMBP.
    Alternatively you could just buy a 3rd party external drive if you want to save cash but note that the external Apple superdrive is not compatible with MacBooks with built in optical drives.

  • Dreamweaver CS6 fluid grid with slideshow

    I am trying to create a slideshow page for my DW CS6 fluid grid site, preferably with previews.
    I want the images to scale with the width of the browser.
    I checked out different plugin's and apps but one does not integrate with DW, the other can't combine Landscape and Portrait pictures ect....
    After looking in the forums I could only find 1 discussion about this resulting in there is no solution.
    But a year has past and...... does anyone know a good solution?
    Don't want to use Flash.
    thx.

  • With so many upgrades with the IOS 7 why isn't there a manual just to be able to help go thru and discover all the new features

    All these upgrades with the new IOs 7 system why hasn't Apple posted a cheat sheet of sorts so you can take the time to discover and learn those changes

  • Dreamweaver CS6 Fluid Grid Layout

    I fear there may not be a solution to this issue! I have placed several hotspots on an image in a Fluid Grid Layout div in DW CS6 and the problem is quite straightforward. Whilst the "image" reduces perfectly when viewed in Tablet and Smartphone screens the "hotspots" remain in the same position they were at in the Desktop view! The result is the same irrespective of which view you set the hotspots in. Is there a solution to this problem or is it insurmountable?

    OK.  Let's just paste the script into your HTML page and see if that works.
    Open your page in code view.
    Replace this:
    <!--maphighlight-->
    <script src="fancybox/maphighlight.js"></script>
    <!--fancybox-->
    With all of this:
    <!--maphighlight-->
    <script>
    // map highlight JavaScript Document

  • I got the iPad 2 for Christmas 32gb and for some reason it did not come with the green messages app. Is there any way to get this on my iPad or am I out of luck?

    Ipad2 came without messages app. Please help me in figuring out why! :)

    What version of iOS have you get (Settings > General > About > Version) ? Messages was introduced with iOS 5, so if you aren't on that then you can update to it and you should get the Messages app.
    Connect the iPad to your computer's iTnnes and copy any purchases off the iPad via File > Transfer Purchases (you may also want to copy photos off the iPad as well) and then force a backup of the iPad by right-clicking the iPad 'Device' on the left-hand side of iTunes and selecting 'Backup'. You may also want to copy off the iPad any important documents, notes, files etc e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc - they should be included in the backup, but it's best to have a copy of them outside of the backup just in case.
    You can then start the update by selecting the iPad on the left-hand side of iTunes, and on the Summary tab on the right-hand side clicking the Check For Updates button.

  • Adobe cloud has lost connection with the server

    Adobe cloud has lost connection with the server, can't get adobe cloud to work so I can re-install photoshop to fix a corrupted DLL file.

    *Adding new items/removing orphans*
    Try iTunes Folder Watch or iTunes Library Updater. Folder Watch is much faster on the adding files front, can be set to run in the background and includes a useful exclusion feature, however it’s slow at removing orphans. iTLU is better for this although doing it manually after looking at a list of proposed removals generated by Folder Watch is probably faster still. iTLU can also be set to update iTunes when you've used 3rd party tools to change tag info.
    You may need to amend the list of file types these programs look for. My list includes:
    .mp3 .mp4 .m4a .m4b .m4p .m4v .mov .wav .aif .mid .ipa .ipg .ite .itlp .m4r .pdf
    Note the last 6 types may not be recognised as already being in the library so should either be omitted from the search or you can add (at least for Folder Watch) individual exclusions for files you know are already in your library.

    Have you been trying to download from the app store? Did you get a message?
    As a suggestion, you might go to an Apple store (genius bar appointment) for help. As far as I know, there should be no charge.

    Lightroom has no activation check so you don't need to do anything to your computer. Your old copy of Photoshop must be deactivated / uninstalled if you haven't already done so.

  • Is there anyone who has good experience with the E...

    I'm a current owner of E72 with a multitude of problems which i'm tired out talking about. Anyway, I'm thinking of upgrading to the E6, because of it's price in my country and also because i'm familiar with nokia phones' symbian platforms. Initially i did not want to buy any nokia products anymore, but I want to give it another go because of the mentioned reasons and also due to my E72 frustrating me every other day. In addition, my few other options are android touchphones and i really dislike full fleged touchphones, not to mention their battery life. My other option is the Blackberry which has no front facing camera which i need making video calls, so I'm really looking at the E6. I've read so many horror stories in this thread that i'm really worried that i'll get a lemon, so I want to read some positive stories or some judicious pros and cons, before taking the plunge! Please help thank you!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I have owned my E6 for over 3 months and after the weekends new firmware (025) the phone now is almost perfect.
    The audio quality for music is good and voice calls is the best that you can find, even in noizy environments.
    Battery endurance is very good now, perhaps 80-100 hours in moderate use.
    Also the former problem with backlight is now corrected by Nokia.
    After the firmware the phone is very fast, I mean this cincerely. Also it seems that connectivity over 3G or WLAN is 100% perfect now.
    The vibration is perhaps a little weak for men, but woman can feel it...I tested it various ways.... Nokia will solve this matter also.
    Forgotten things, that is really good is removable battery, hot-swoppable memory card and the the feeling of handling the phone.
    Not a single scratch or dust problem after 3 months...
    The RAM-memory seems to be enough for everything I am doing.
    The graphic and the 1GB ROM-memory certainly makes the Nokia E6 competent.
    The qwerty is really amazing and the screen also, after experimenting with font magnifier (using 119%) and the size in the web browsers and of course the phone settings for font size have actually made this E6 excellent. It took me some time to be satisfied with the settings, but I am now more than happy with mine.
    As said, the program RemindMe is useful for light indicators for sms/mms, emails and calls. That solve that issue to me and even if Nokia built-in will be better in the next firmware I stil wouldn´t quit the remindMe.
    Finally, the camera is also more than good, the lack of autofocus doesn´t disturb me at all. I never take photos of small documents with the camera.
    I have to say, just buy it after this latest firmware, and then add those applications that you need for productivity. The applications I use you can see here below.
    I uninstalled the F-secure firewall/antivirus that caused some strange behaviors in early august, especially when I connected to a server with the built-in filebrowser (webdav).
    PS Mine have never restarted and I can´t remember a hang. DS

  • Since I have Yosemite on my iMac I can't view PDF files in Safari anymore.  It keeps telling me to upgrade my Adobe Reader, but it is the latest version.  Please help?  I don't have this problem on my Macbook that does not have Yosemite installed.

    Since I have Yosemite on my iMac I can't view PDF files in Safari anymore.  It keeps telling me to upgrade my Adobe Reader, but it is the latest version.  Please help?  I don't have this problem on my Macbook that does not have Yosemite installed.

    Back up all data before making any changes. Please take each of the following steps until the problem is resolved.
    Step 1
    If Adobe Reader or Acrobat is installed, and the problem is just that you can't print or save PDF's displayed in Safari, you may be able to do so by moving the cursor to the the bottom edge of the page, somewhere near the middle. A black toolbar should appear under the cursor. Click the printer or disk icon.
    Step 2
    There should be a setting in its preferences of the Adobe application such as Display PDF in Browser. I don't use those applications myself, so I can't be more precise. Deselect that setting, if it's selected.
    Step 3
    If you get a message such as ""Adobe Reader blocked for this website," then from the Safari menu bar, select
              Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Security
    and check the box marked
              Allow Plug-ins
    Then click
              Manage Website Settings...
    and make any required changes to the security settings for the Adobe PDF plugin.
    Step 4
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    In the Finder, select
              Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste into the text box that opens by pressing command-V, then press return.
    From the folder that opens, move to the Trash any items that have "Adobe" or “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari.
    Step 5
    The "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you may need to remove it, if it's present. The same goes for a plugin called "iGetter," and perhaps others—I don't have a complete list. Don't remove Silverlight if you use the "Netflix" video-streaming service.
    Step 6
    Do as in Step 4 with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari.
