Beginner CSS questions

I previously designed an html website in Dreamweaver MX 2004
that I need to switch over to CSS. I've been studying pages and
pages of tutorials, and have some questions that haven't really
been addressed, or else I've been missing the point!
So far, I've successfully created a simple, external .css
file that had paragraph and heading rules, linked it to an
existing, table-based, html test-page, published it, and it worked
fine.
Now I want to get away from using tables to using divs, and
there's a sample layout in DW that I selected: Two column, elastic,
with header and footer. Now I'm confused.
In the sample page, along with css rules and instructions,
there are paragraphs of content:
<h1> Main Content </h1>
<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing
elit. Praesent aliquam, justo convallis luctus rutrum, erat nulla
fermentum diam, at nonummy quam ante ac quam. Maecenas urna purus,
fermentum id, molestie in, commodo porttitor, felis. Nam blandit
quam ut lacus. </p>
Question #1: Does this mean this isn't supposed to be an
external style sheet? Because I'm pretty sure one doesn't put any
content on an external style sheet. Can I turn this into an
external style sheet, and what do I need to do in order to
accomplish this?
Question # 2:
As mentioned above, my first foray into an external style
sheet worked fine with one of my table-based html pages. What I
fail to grok is when you set up an external style sheet with divs
how exactly do you put your content on your page in design view? Do
I need to convert tables to divs, which would be on each individual
page? Then am I giving up having the divs controlled by an external
style sheet? I don't mind making all new html pages to be
controlled by the divs on a css, but then I'm back to the first
question - how do you place content on an html page, when the divs
are supposed to be controlled by the external ss. This seems to be
a never-ending loop in my mind!
Many thanks in advance for trying to straighten this out!

2 CSS Questions on my layout

Hi everyone, I have two CSS questions regarding my layout.
First off, it is located at:
http://robles.clunet.edu/~ssmi/tsr9/tsr9template.html
The CSS is embeded in the file (it will linked from a
different file once I am done with this design, but beside the
point)
My first question is about how I can keep the right top image
from being bumped down to the next line when the window is resized.
I want it to squeeze into some, but then at a point have the scroll
bars kick in.
My other question is how I could make the title image "The
Scott Report" centered between the two left and right images up
top.
Could anyone help out?
Thanks a lot!

Beginner font questions

These are some beginner font questions if someone has the time/patience.
I've never paid much attention to fonts over the years, never installed
any other than those that might have come with applications. Early on,
15 years ago or so, I settled on Palatino and I've stayed with it for
most docs (Word 5.1a and now Word vX) and often for other apps (Safari,
Now).
I just upgraded to Tiger (10.4.4) and I use Word vX.
Questions:
1. I gather from looking at Font Book that when I'm using Palatino in
Tiger that OS X is getting it from my OS 9 System folder for Classic.
It does not look like Palatino is in any other locations including MS
Office vX. Does that make sense?
2. I always thought that Palatino was a very basic, always available
font. Not so?
3. If I decide to stop using Classic, and I'm close to that time, can I
transfer those fonts to OS X? If so, to which location is best.
4. And are the same fonts used for printing and screen? In other words
back in pre OS X days I thought some fonts came in screen versions and
print versions but my memory is hazy on that. Not only that.
Thank you for any education or links for info.

That's correct.
2. I always thought that Palatino was a very basic,

font. Not so?
It seems to be out of favor.
3. If I decide to stop using Classic, and I'm close
to that time, can I
transfer those fonts to OS X? If so, to which
location is best.
Yes, you can just put it in Users/username/Library/Fonts (or Library/Fonts for all users).

Have a CSS question

I have a picture i am trying to put inside a div that has a class already which makes pictures have a frame around them when i insert them into it, which is fine for the main image but i am trying to add an extra image in there and i dont want that frame to be there.
I will attach a picture and a link to the site i am talking about.
If anyone can help me with this CSS question or how i can go about getting rid of the frame around the step 1, step 2 and step 3.
eWeb Solutions Website Development
Thanks!

Take the frame class out the div and apply it to select images like this:
<div>
<img class="frame" src="step1.jpg">
<img src="picture1.jpg">
</div>
<div>
<img class="frame" src="step2.jpg">
<img src="picture2.jpg">
</div>

CheckboxDatagrid (extended) CSS question

Hello
In our application we make use of the CheckBoxDataGrid, which rocks.
We are playing with the CSS and noticed that we arent able to change the "chromeColor" property, in CSS. Only in the MXML.
I would like to set the style in the CheckBoxDataGrid super class, but I do not see a way to specify "headerStyleName".
How and where would that occur in an extended class? Would it need to happen in the constructor?
Also, how would you re-assign the CSS, in ActionScript, in this extended DataGrid class? Any ideas?
Any help is appreciated, thanks folks!

}The IE7 bug can be addressed by feeding it the following CSS fix targeted at pre-IE8 browsers with a conditional comment in the page HTML Header:
Specify the <tt>too-wide</tt> static region ID on the IR region for use as a CSS selector.
However, presenting information in a way that requires users to scroll the viewport horizontally is clunky. This will be particularly true in combination with an IR. Think about the user experience: is there an alternative way of displaying this information?

Beginner CSS multiple stylesheet Question...

Hi,
I am a complete beginner. I've followed through the Dreamweaver beginner 'Check Magazine' tutorial to create a site and it's straghtforward. My site is small, a tourist guide, basically a three column/main image homepage like the tuotorial and then around 25 pages featuring different places with identical main column and a thinner right column layout. (I've created a template for the 25)
My question is regarding CSS stylesheets. Now obviously I have used the CSS stylesheet to set the size and background colour etc of my Div Columns in the homepage as in the tutorial. But my 25 pages have different column widths and background colours to the homepage. Do I need to create a seperate stylesheet for each page?
Or does each div column get a different name on each page? (div#right_column 1,2,3 etc) Or I need to learn another step?
I've looked in the beginner guides and they all explain one stylesheet, but don't elaborate for when you start adding new pages and want to edit them.
I know I have a lot to learn! But I don't want to go further learning a bad habit or misunderstanding and wasting a lot of time when a simple answer would really help me at this stage. It's fine if someone knows a good guide or tutorial that covers this that they can link to as well.
Thanks in advance!

If I understand this correctly, your home page is the only one that has unique styles. The other 25 site pages share the same styles.
Create one external stylesheet for the 25 pages.
Use embedded CSS on the home page for styles that are specific to that page.
Embedded CSS goes in the HTML document between the <head> and </head> tags like so.
<style type="text/css">
unique page styles go here....
</style>

Beginner CSS problems and questions

I'm trying to learn CSS, but first, I have to knock out this simple site for a client, CSS or not, asap.
Problem #1:
Here is the page: http://larrysullivandesign.com/sourceprintmedia.com/_contact.html
Here is the style sheet: http://larrysullivandesign.com/sourceprintmedia.com/sourceprintmedia.css
I want the email link the same font size as the text around it, which is:
class="bodycopy-content"
I don't understand why it appears in the text-links page bottom (class="link-typeA") size.
Problem #2:
Dreamweaver WYSIWYG shows the text links at page bottom in the #00F blue, (see attached jpg: "scrncap_DW_WYSIWYG.jpg) when clearly they should display only as the grey in the external stylesheet. In the browser, they look good. Frustrating, DW bug?
Problem #3:
I tried to merge all the CSS into one style sheet but no matter what I try, DW won't let me. Now I have 3 CSS categories. (see attached jpg "scrncap-csspanel.jpg") How come I can't have any/all style sheets in one?
thanks in advance!
-Larry

Problem #1:
You have defined a font size (8px - which btw, renders extremely small on my 1440x900 laptop, suggestion to follow) for the "a" tag. Because of this any link regardless of where it is will be that font size. Personally speaking I would recommend taking the font-size off of the "a" tag in your CSS document and then let the other classes control the font size throughout your page.
Problem #2:
You defined a class fine, but links do not work on a class. They will always work on a:link, a:active, a:visited, and a:hover. With this in mind what you need to do to change the color of links in a particular area is to do the following:
.link-typeA a { CSS stuff goes here }
That will change the links in that class to have certain features.
Problem #3:
This has to do with code in the header of your page where you have re-declared link styles. Delete that from your page and you will be set
Now back to Problem #1 about the fonts. Your best bet is to use "em" to define your font size. Think of the EM like a multiplier. It takes the default size of the end-users settings and 1.1em would be 1.1x larger than the default font, 2em would be twice as large, and .5em would be half the size. This way your text is readable on all screens regardless of the end-users resolution.

A CSS question I think

If you would take a look at this page http://www.gcfa.org/add_data.asp you will see that between the header and the navigation bar a white line is there. I don't won't it there, how can I get rid of it?
It must be in my CSS I guess, I checked the images and neither one of them the Header nor the Navigation menu have a white border. Here's my code. Thanks in advance for your help.

Theme / CSS question

Hello!
I have a very basic theme / csss question:
Working with Oracle XE and Apex I want to create my own theme. Therefore I tried to use
http://wiki.shellprompt.net/bin/view/Apex/ThemeTips
But thereit says:
1. Copy the theme_4 images directory to theme_100
But where do I find the theme_4 images directory???
All I found was:
Shared Components -> Themes
But how can I open the css file (2nd step)??
Excuse me for beeing this stupid...
Thank you
Johann

Searching the XE Threads I found out, that
http://myserver.com:8080/i/themes/theme_4/
shows me the themes 4 directory using webdav.
But how writing there?
Bye

Some CSS Questions and Firebug Behaviour.

Here's my page: http://martcol.co.uk/brightontherapyservice/
It's a developing site so, I'm still working on it and I know it might be a bit scruffy in places - sorry.
I'll start with the Firbug thing first.
If I check Outline > Outline Block Level Elements why do some of the outlines seem to start left and off the screen and why do some of the outlines not form completely?
If you are able to outline these elements in FireFox this is what I mean:
A is a border that shoots off to the left and B is an example of a border that does not form completely. I am asking this because obviously, I don't understand it and more, because I wonder if it indicates something bad. Which leads me to my next question.
On some of the individual image panels the box-shadow gets shaved off top and right. I can make it come back by fiddling with margins but it is such a fiddle I don't know which is the best way to sort it out.
Thanks
Martin
PS: My next question will be about lining up the bottom text panel. I thought I'd wait to see how you all get on with these questions but since you're here, how can I line that up with the image panels?
Thanks again.
BTW - it's WordPress

A1: if you don't need nating, simply do not use a group.
A2: route the traffic without checking if it hits a content rule.
Your acl 1 will permit all traffic and nat traffic from 10.10.10.0/24 when hitting a specific content rule.
Your acl 2 is the same but if you have more content rules the traffic 10.10.10.0/24 will simply be routed and will not hit any of them.
We usually use the bypass for cache devices that would need to access a server directly.
A3: ACL are not mandatory. By default the CSS permits all traffic. If you enable acl so, you then need to explicitly permit the traffic you want to have across the CSS.

Beginner's Questions

As a really new beginner for BEx, I would like to ask you guys some basic questions.
1) I have a problem with designing a query to serve our requirement.
Fiscal Year       Accounting Num.        Amount          AVG(Amount)
2006                10001                         100                250
2006                10002                         200                250
2006                10003                         300                250
2006                10004                         400                250
                       Total(AVG)                  250
2006                10005                         300                350
2006                10006                         400                350
                       Total(AVG)                  350
What I want is the forth column, which is equal to the average value of amount in the third column. For example, in group 1 (Accounting Number 10001 - 10004), the average of 100 - 400 is 250. In the forth column, I want to get 250.How can I do this?
2) How can I load a hierarchy from a text file in BI 7.0. I just see the option to maintain the hierarchy in BI, but I can't find the way to load the hierarchy from a text file.

Hi,
1.Create a formula or CKF which is equal to Amount. name it AVG(Amount).
right click AVG(Amount) in the query definition.select properties.select calculate single value as 'Average of all values<>0'.
i thnk this shld work!
Regards
Dhanya.

Beginner CSS confusion

http://larrysullivandesign.com/test/
Question 1
How do I center the content-panel div on the page, on every page in the site?
I can't find any way to select it and center it or to center it in the css panel.
Why isn't there a command for adding an align=center property to this content-panel in the CSS panel under Add Property? There's only align text...
Question 2
I'm trying to follow advice (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/583861?tstart=0) on having multiple color link styles and want to know if my .css looks "normal"?
http://larrysullivandesign.com/test/test0225.css
I'm doing CSS tutorials in my spare time but have to fix and deliver an almost-finished site asap

There is no such CSS property as align center. This isn't a DW thing. It's a W3C thing.
To center page(s) you need the following:
1) a valid document type (DW does this for you when you open a new HTML page),
2) a container width,
3) margin-right and margin-left of auto (browser defined)
.content-panel {
    font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;
    background-color: #FFF;
    padding: 15px;
    height: 500px;
    width: 800px;
    margin:0 auto; /**centers in modern browsers**/

Beginner SSL questions

I am still very much a beginner and this is my first time trying to set SSL up. I am experiencing some issues and I am not really sure what to do. I hope this is the right forum to post this.
When I go to https://xxxx.xxxxx.net/myContext my login index.jsp page displays however
1.) In IE it's not showing the page as secured(no lock).
2.) When I log in using valid credentials the url becomes http://xxxx.xxxxx.net:443/myContext/myServlet
and the page I expect to display doesnt. It only displays this:
3.) None of my stylesheets are being used.
When I go to http://xxxx.xxxxx.net/myContext my login index.jsp page displays perfectly and I am able to log in and do see the expected page.
Apparently I missed a step somewhere or just the obvious but how do I get my index.jsp to use SSL. Any help would really be appreciated. Thanks in advance

Are you intentionally leaving a connector for port 80 open? If you don't need anything to be non-ssl enabled then you should comment out the port 80 connector and just have a connector for port 443. You should then be able to access any of your stuff via https://whatever/whathaveyou...
[edit]
this is an obvious question but you didn't mention it so just in case - you did create a self signed server certificate and import that into the keystore right? (or use a commercial certificate and import that and the CA chain into your trust store)

Include In Head adaptive Tag and Webcenter Default CSS questions

Hello I'm fairly new to Webcenter
I`m currently working on a project that`s requiring us to do a lot of customizing of Templates and Stylesheets changes, I have a couple of questions I was hoping someone might be able to help me with.
1) I want to inject some code into the page header of all webcenter pages. I understand that there is an adaptive tag "includeinhead", documented here:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E13174_01/alui/devdoc/docs60/Portlets/Adaptive_Portlets/Using_Adaptive_Tags/plumtreedevdoc_integration_portlets_adaptive_namespacetoken.htm
This works, for the most part. However, for IE I would like to include the 'ie shim' which fixes behaviours for IE (adding things like border radius), etc...this code goes as follows:

As you can see, there are 'comment' tags that are not really comments, but directives to IE to process the script. This unfortunately gets parsed out by webcenter because (I assume) it just sees the whole block as a comment...So I am wondering what can be done about this.
2) I am wondering where the 'default' stylesheet that webcenter uses resides. By default, I am referring to the styles that get applied in the cases where tags are not defined in the skin file. I am having some difficulties around this because often Webcenter injects inline CSS into the controls where I don't really want it to... For example, in the "panel header" control, webcenter injects code for the title field and automatically sets the width of the cell. I would like to override this and control it completely.
Thanks.

Is that really a big deal or is it ok .... ? I'm always thinking .... oh god how heavy that is , anytime you call up the page the browser has to go through all that first ... is it actually ok or are there any tricks or tips ?
It's always a good idea to worry about how heavy the LINKED files are since they contribute to the overall weight of the page. The contribution of the links themselves, though, is negligable. There is also benefit in managing the order in which those links appear. Put CSS links first and follow them with javascript links (since the CSS will affect the page rendering, while the javascript most likely will not), so the browser can begin to render the page even while it's waiting for the js files to be fetched.
2 - Templates are great but If a spry is only needed on some pages,how do we handle that ? By setting up another template ? Or is there a better way ?
If you are applying Spry effects to a Template child page, DW is smart enough to drop those links into the editable region in the head of the page (which is what it should do). Just make sure that the editable region falls BETWEEN your CSS links and your JS links to allow you to arrange things as mentioned above. There is never a real need to have more than one Template per site.
3 - is it better to have 1 single compressed css file with ALL styles in it or various css files ?
There is a small performance hit everytime you have to go back to the server for another file. So two pages of the same overall weight, one with 1 externally linked file, and the other with 10 externally linked files will show a difference in their download time. How significant that difference is will depend on many variables, but it will be a real difference. That being the case, it's always better to opt for a single file than multiple files. Practically speaking, the difference will usually be small, especially when you consider how small these 'incremental' css files usually are....
