"anchor" links and Orphaned files ???

I have a number of "anchor" links to a file named "constitution.html". This is to allow one to jump to a specific part of a VERY long page (the complete constitution). The links are like this one constitution.html#a3s1. When I check in DW CS5 for Orphaned files DW reports this file "constitution.html" as an orphaned file.
Is this normal because of the anchor links part of the link?
Or do I have some unknown problem with my code?
The links to this "orphaned" file are working OK.
Thanks

Is this normal because of the anchor links part of the link?
Yes. Sorry....

Repeated problem of broken link and unused files

Hi ,
I am using RH8.0.2
I have updated my RH8 to RH8.0.2 and then fix all broken link and did what was advised.i got result, everything was fine, I was a happy man. Today when i open the same project for updation, i found again plenty of broken links and unused file in the same project.
Is there any permanent solution of the problem of broken links and unused file or i have to fix it every time when i open my project?
Plz help!!!
Br,
Rahul

Hi Rahul.
Two things. Firstly some of the paths you have in your project are very long. In the example you have given we are seeing less than half the path. This may not be the problem but it maybe in the future. Secondly, as Peter has suggested, the problem maybe related to source control. Do you use it? I have heard of instances where (e.g. .FPJ) files cause issues.

Anchor link and SSI

I'm using anchor links in a left column and content in the
right column. The anchor links are set to topics in the right
column. The right column/content is in an include. The anchor links
don't work when previewing, I assume because of the temp file. But
should I expect that they will work when the site is live on line?
Thanks, Sue

The links should work in the temp file if the links are
defined properly, as
when it previews the whole page has been brought together.
Have a look at
the source of the preview page to see where the links are
pointing

Does teh topicid: protocol actually support anchor links and, if so, how?

The Oracle® Fusion Middleware Developer's Guide for Oracle Help 11g Release 2 (http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E24382_01/doc.1112/e16280/ohff_tpcfile.htm#OHJWG213) says the following:
The topicid protocol also supports anchor links. For example:
*<a href="topicid:getting_started#advanced">Getting Started</a>*
When the Getting Started link is clicked, Oracle Help references the map file and jumps to the advanced anchor position in HTML file associated with the link's topic ID.
But I cannot seem to get anchor links to work. The HelpBook Previewer returns:
*Error: topic id topicid#+fragid+ does not map to an URL.*
I'd expect the topicid: protocol to work like a normal URL. A web browser resolves the URL part to find the file and then locates the fragment identifier within the file content. So I'd expect Oracle Help to locate the file by looking up the topic ID in the map file and then locate the fragment identifier in the content. But the error seems to be saying that Oracle Help expects a separate map entry for each topic ID and fragment ID combination, which hardly makes sense.
Any advice would be much appreciated.

Rodger,
Thank you for your gracious welcome . . .
and thank you for your swift response . . .
and thank you for your information (and encouragement!).
Yes, I read that too, but searched in vain for the specifity of, say, your direction:
"Go ahead and update to 8.0.2, as it contains the 8.0.1 update."
So I shall!
Again, many thanks.

Check Links reports orphan files that do exist

With CS3 9, I ran a Check Links for Entire Current Local Site
and it is reporting orphaned files that are definitely being linked
to. The problem is demonstrated by a SWF with 5 thumbnail images,
each linking to a .htm file. All 5 .htm files are in the same
folder, same URL aside from the filename and the SWF works fine...
but Check Links reports that 3 of the 5 .htm files are orphans. Has
anyone seen this problem? Any suggestions?

each filename.

Ugh. I can't imagine....

Anchor links and flash objects

I have a link on my website that goes to an anchor on certain
page; for example: <a href="events.html#feb">
When I click on the link it goes to the correct spot ;however
the page title displays "Events#feb#feb#feb#feb#feb#feb#" and
through object deduction discovered it appends a "#feb" to the page
title for every flash element that is on the page (and I have six
flash) Why does this happen and how can i get rid of it? This only
happens in IE (curse you microsoft!) Thank you.

Is this normal because of the anchor links part of the link?
Yes. Sorry....

Clustering, unix symbolic links, and war files

          Hello,
          we use symbolic links in our web application to a large shared storage device.
          This works when running a single server, when the application is not a war file.
          When we cluster the application, the admin server creates a war file, blindly
          follows the symbolic links and tries to include all files in the shared storage
          device. Bad!
          Is there a work-around to this problem in a clustered configuration?
          -Thanks-


          hi,
          can you tell me know you deploy your app to the cluster member
          manually? do you run each member as an admin server? how do
          you group them into a cluster then?
          thanks,
          yan

'video from url' linking and intranet files - indesign cc

i am using the media panel and attempting to link to .mp4 files stored on an intranet site. getting the error message 'download failed because the url could not be verified'
the computer which is creating the indesign files does not have access to the intranet site. i assume this is a requirement? has anyone any experience of how to get around this?

@Tomasz – Bob is right, something must be wrong with your InDesign CS6.
Just tested in my version of CS5 and CS5.5. All is working as expected…
For this configuration I'm on OSX 10.6.8 with InDesign CS5 v.7.0.4 or InDesign CS5.5 v7.5.3.
The icon in the media panel is not grayed out and I can invoke the dialog:
And you are absolutely sure, that you did not select a text frame instead of a graphic frame?
(Sorry for that question, but it will not work if you select a text fame.)

Missing Index topics, links and .htm files

I hope someone can help with this, as I am very frustrated
right now. I normally use RoboHelpX5, but have also tried this in
RoboHelp7.
If I generate a Winhelp2000 version of our help system,
everything appears normal. All of the specified index keywords are
there, all of the links are there, etc.
But if I generate either HTML or WebHelp versions using the
same source, as I'm supposed to be able to, for some reason:
1. Index entries for certain topics disappear from the list.
If I manually add the topic to the index again and save, then
regenerate the help files, the topic is still missing from the
index.
2. The hyperlinks for the missing items in #1 above do not
appear. The original text is there, but there is no hyperlink. If I
try to add a hyperlink again, the topic appears in the list, but
once I regenerate the help files, the link disappears again.
3. The individual .htm file for the missing items in #1 above
are not being generated.
Is there some reason why these topics are being dropped from
the html and webhelp versions of the help system? Is there some
sort of topic formatting or setting I am missing? I have tried to
compare working topics vs. missing topics, and cannot find anything
different in my Word document formatting.
I have tried creating a completely different help system,
using clean documents with no RoboHelp formatting, and consistently
have problems with the same topics. I even tried on another
computer that had never had RoboHelp on it before. That didn't make
any difference. The topics were still missing from the index, the
hyperlinks to those topics were still missing, and the individual
.htm files were not generated.
Any help would be appreciated.

(ow_mas)

Hi,
I ran into the same problem today with some top level Index
entries not showing up in WebHelp. I discovered how to fix it by
comparing the entries that did show up with those that didn't. If
an entry had a topic associated with it, it showed up; if it has a
cross-reference, it doesn't.
Double click an Index entry in the Index pane (or right click
and choose Properties), then clear the Cross-reference checkbox.
Repeat for each entry that has a cross-reference instead of a
topic. There may be a global way to fix them all, but I haven't
found it yet. Then recompile your help, Voila!
Hope this helps....

Click link and download file

Hi ,
I am creating xml file from query and then read xml file as
pdf using cf document.
So I have my list in the website as xml file and pdfs So if
click on xml it should ask me for download/save as and same thing
for pdf. How can I do that. I know cfcontent but it doesn't work

You can try below code for your XML file.
<cfheader name="content-disposition" value="attachment;
filename = #trim(filename)#">
<cfcontent type="text/xml; charset=utf-8"
file="#absolutefilepath#">
[/c]
If it doesn't work, then try below one :D
<cfoutput>
<cfheader name="content-disposition" value="attachment;
filename = #trim(filename)#">
<cfcontent type="text/xml;">
<cffile action="READ" file="#absolutefilepath#"
variable="content" charset="iso-8859-1">
#trim(content)#
</cfoutput>

How do I? (involving links and movie files)

#1. How do I get a movie to close after it has played?
#2. In my menu I have 8 links. I'd like to have 7 links disappear when the user rolls over the 1 link. How would I make the other 7 disappear when the user is rolled over 1?
Thanks.

1. I am not well-versed in video matters, so the best I can offer is to tell you to look at the FLVPlayBack component in the help documents to see what kinds of events it can provide indications for. It seems as though when you start a new video, it closes out the existing one, so you may want to look into that code to see how it is closing the player, and then use that code when a movie completion event is detected. If you are using AS3, then the help docs tabulate all of the properties, methods, and events separately, so they should be easy to find. YOu'd be looking for an event that signals the movie is done playing.
2. As I mentioned already, to control the visibility of things dynamically you need to assign instance names to each of your links, each of which needs to be either a movieclip or a button. Then you can use actionscript to set the visibility to true or false as needed. What I will usually do is have a function that does this for things as a group, make all the buttons invisible/visible at the same time, while keeping the selected one visible. You still haven't divulged which version of actionscript you are using.

Orphaned and Broken files and Unused Preferences

I am presently running my MacBook Pro with Mac OS X Yosemite. I have owned several previous Apple laptops prior to this one and each time I simply move all my files, settings and applications using the tranfer program bulit into the Apple Software. Although this was the easiest method to upgrade to a new laptop, it also brings a lot of extra junk with it.
Is there a program that will look for unused Preferences, broken and orphaned files?
Thanks

Active state not working in scrolling site (with anchor links)

I'm design a scrolling site with anchor links and an horizontal menu on the top.
when i publish the site and click on the menu buttons the site scrolling to the place of the anchor but the active state in the menu is not working.
now... when i leave the main page (were the scrolling site is) and then return back to it all active states are working perfectly
anyone have this bug? or any one know how to fix it ?

Hmmm...I've just been playing around, and I think I got the Active State to work correctly. I think my problem was not understand what Active State means.
To answer your question, I was changing the Font Color and Box Fill Color of the Active State.
I did not understand that Active State means the look of the Menu Item when the PAGE is active. I thought it meant the look of the Menu item when the cursor is scrolling down the Menu (i.e. when the MENU is Active, not the page).
Look at this page for an example of what I'm trying to achieve...
http://www.pgavdestinations.com
When you hover over the "Work" menu item, and move the cursor down the menu, the state of "Work" remains changed until you move the cursor off of that menu column. It does NOT return back to it's Normal state until you are off of that menu column.
Is there a way to achieve this with the menu states in Muse?
Thanks for the replies!

Unable to open local file using af:goLink and anchor link in JSF page.

Hi,
I want to open a file at a perticular location on client machine. I am using af:goLink to openg the file. But when i tried to click on the link it is not opening the file. If i give any other value like name of other site, it opens the link. It is not giving any exception also. I tried by puting notmal HTML anchor link. That is also not working. But if i put this anchor link in normal HTML page, it works.

(Note: Please remove the comments that i have added in creating anchor link. I was facing some issue in putting my code in this editor. It was creating the HTML link when i see the preview.)
I hope you will be able to reproduce my problem.
Sujay

What version of IE are you using? IIRC, IE 7 is supposed to prompt you. ("The web site is attempting to open a page in your Trusted Zone. This can let hax0rs pwnz0r you. Continue?" or something to that effect.)
If you use the verbatim tags, do you get an actual error message? That might help diagnose the problem.

Anchoring Linked Frames or ICML Files???

Is there anyway to anchor linked frames or ICML files in InDesign? I would like to re-purpose some content from other files and anchor the text into the text frame so the content flows around it. I notice when I try to cut-n-paste to anchor, the linking goes away. Any thoughts?

Hi Peter,
Thanks for your attention. No, I'm not trying to thread a text frame, I just want to place a text frame with say a warning or caution anchored into another text frame at a relevant location. This way if I later decide to update the warning/caution it will be updated in all documents. Unfortunately, when I've tried to anchor the linked text frame into another document (at the relevant location), it breaks the link. I can drop it into another document without anchoring it, but of course when text is added to the text above the linked text frame, the placed frame will not move with the relevant text. I had hoped it would work the same way as anchoring an image frame in a document, but it doesn't seem to be working out that way (or I'm doing something wrong).
I see what you're saying about placing it in a separate frame in a different document, but again, it won't flow with the text.
Thanks again for your insight!
