Beginner with Dreamweaaver CSS 6
I'm an old hand (since the early 90s) with HTML and CSS when it came along, and have hand coded or modified thousands of web pages. I want to give Dreamweaver CSS6 a chance, so I have it installed and a subscription to Lynda. But, where do I go from here?
The tutorials all seem to be in CSS5 or CSS5.5, and most appear to be on apple platforms; alas, I have a nice Windows 7 workstation, well balanced (W.Experience Index 6.9 - 7.1 in all 6 areas) and get zippy response. 4 LCD displays. Quad core processor. I'm ready to go, but confused.
Several years ago I installed a much earlier version of DW, but have forgotton all I've learned. And now, when I try to follow the videos, they are on the wrong platform (Apple) and the wrong version (usually 5.0 or 5.5) -- so there is a lot of time wasted in trying to figure out how to do something in 6.0.
Any thoughts?
CS6 Manuals just came out. Honestly, the tutorials for DW CS5 and CS6 are not that far apart. If you can use one version of DW, you can pretty much use them all. Apple or Windows, the UI is pretty much the same.

Difference with embedded CSS vs loading runtime CSS
Hi,
Move from embedded CSS to runtime CSS, but having some subtle differences.
note the numeric stepper handles have default colors, this is with embedded css and what the client wants
This one is runtime css note the handles are black.
I had this in both before embedded and runtime CSS
NumericStepper {
fillAlphas: 0.6, 0.4, 0.75, 0.65;
fillColors: #ffffff, #cccccc, #ffffff, #eeeeee;
themeColor: #92de78;
I added this to the runtime css and entered the style name for the numeric stepper but still no luck
.numericStepper {
fillAlphas: 0.6, 0.4, 0.75, 0.65;
fillColors: #ffffff, #cccccc, #ffffff, #eeeeee;
themeColor: #92de78;
Any ideas complete css below. BTW my alerts are not using the runtime css as well yet embedded css works fine

I added a Button and a NumericStepper to a text application using Embedded Styles and it did produce the Button style effect. I took the Button out and of course the Numeric buttons were rendered as the default Flex style of off grey / white.
Some of the Flex objects have additional style properties that allow you to style the individual components of the object however the NumericStepper does not seem to have that option.
I think the only way around it would be to get the children of the stepper and style them individually
var btn:Button = numericStepper.getChildAt(1) as Button;
btn.setStyle("fillColors",["#ffcccc","#cccccc"]
and do the same thing for child 2
or extend the NumericStepper and override the style to be what you would like. -
Is there a way to disable tab font smoothing (maybe with userchrome.css)?
hello everyone I've just switched from chrome to ff and I'm very satisfied. Just one problem, is there a way to disable tab font smoothing (maybe with userchrome.css)? I've changed the colour of tab font (with userchrome.css) to white to improve readability but with white text is too bold. thanks !!
hey thanks for the quick reply. here's a screenshot
http://www.mediafire.com/view/?c2a2l69ci5zbq#bt6qrwr6ku8m5n6
i think we just have to add some antialiasing in the userchrome.css? but i don't know the code.
here's my modified userchrome.css
/* Inactive Tab */
tab:not([selected="true"]) {
color:white !important;}
/* Tab while loading */
tab[busy] {
color: blue !important;}
tab .tab-text {
font-size: 12px !important;
/* tab font */
tab .tab-text {
font-family:Verdana !important;
i read somewhere else the problem is more evident with white text on dark background
thanks -

"I would love to have iTunes and my iPod sync the songs that the iPod played since its last updating into the song count in iTunes"
It does already do this... unless you use manual updating. Under auto updating, tracks played on your iPod should up the count in iTunes on your next sync.

hi,
i am beginner with reports.
i am trying to create a new report.
i use the report wizard when i try to connect i put my user name and my password but i don't find what i have to put in database.
can any one help me.
thanksI found 2 files tnsnames.ora
can any one tell me which is th name of my database
these are the 2 files
1st file contains:
XE =

# the entries to be put in any tnsnames.ora file
# The entries in this file are need based.
# There are no defaults for entries in this file

# in the system, one that is set for the entire system
# and is called the system tnsnames.ora file, and a
# second file that is used by each user locally so that
# he can override the definitions dictated by the system
# tnsnames.ora file.
# The entries in tnsnames.ora are an alternative to using
# the names server with the onames adapter.
# They are a collection of aliases for the addresses that
# the listener(s) is(are) listening for a database or
# several databases.
# The following is the general syntax for any entry in
# a tnsnames.ora file. There could be several such entries
# tailored to the user's needs.

Working with bootstrap css file after opening the browser
working with bootstrap css file after opening the browser when i came back on working on bootstrap my computer started hanging and opning new tabs and showing message " A caused the program to stop working correctly.Windows will close thoe program and notify you if solution is available"
Hi Geetha,
1.) button problem:
i don't know how you open the form - when you do it with a XML file maybe you packed the wrong XML file into your addon installer.
2.) the flickering can be a problem of formatted searches or interacting with other addons.
when addon a. changes a field it can be that addon b. does something because of the event from addon a.
the same can happen when you have formatted searches that do something when a field changes.
ok - that are my last tipps for this day
good night

Someone please help a complete beginner with Enterprise Manager!
Question moved from
Someone please help a complete beginner with Enterprise Manager!
Please be gentle with me, I'm absolutely new to all this. We don't have a proper DBA and I've been tasked with the role. There is no-one else in the company with oracle experience and we don't have any support. Until now I've just used enterprise manager to manage the database, but now I have a problem..
We are using Windows Server 2003 and Oracle 10g. I (stupidly) installed some network monitoring software on our server (PRTG network monitor). I almost immediately uninstalled it and all components/registry settings, but it seems to have thrown something out regards the OEM web interface.
We used to access the OEM GUI through http://<hostname>:5500/em, but after installing/uninstalling the network monitor software the OEM webpage would only stay up for a few minutes, before saying 'Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage'. Restarting the DBconsole in services fixed the problem, but again, only for a few minutes.
Spent all day yesterday looking at logfiles (they didn't make much sense to me), but seemed to be saying access was denied to the server ('actively denied it'). Lots of googling led me to believe I needed to reconfigure OEM by dropping and recreating it using:
emctl stop dbconsole
emca -deconfig dbcontrol db
emca -repos recreate
during this process I was asked for various passwords and a port number? I didn't even know what to use as the port number but guessed it was 5500 ?!? (probably wrong). As it didn't work I used the default port number that I found somewhere on the web.
However now I am even deeper in the **** as this didn't work either, (some error about listnener?) and I have now lost the DBConsole in windows services. Obviously the OEM web console doesn't work at all now
I would be eternally grateful for some patient, beginners help here..I can post whatever log files are necessary - I just need to know what I'm supposed to be doing and where to start..
We used to log on to the OEM as 'SYSTEM', but nowhere in the process does it seem to ask me for the password for that (its asked me for SYS and SYSMAN)
It could be that I'm going about this completely wrong, but with only a days experience in all this its pretty hard to know what I'm doing really!
As you can tell I'm in way over my head..I just need OEM web interface to work!
Thanks in advanceok, thanks to helpful comments from other people in my initial thread (posted in general database forum), after rebuilding the console/repository I now have EM up and running. But there are more problems..
Firstly I have an error at the very top of the screen:
java.lang.Exception: Number of responses does not match queries
Also, the 'Host CPU' and 'Active Sessions' are blank and say 'No Data Is Currently Available' beneath them
my emagent.trc file contains this error, repeating with different thread IDs every 30 seconds...
(error = 10061)
2012-04-30 17:19:28 Thread-4376 ERROR pingManager: nmepm_pingReposURL: Cannot connect to http://hostname:5500/em/upload/: retStatus=-1

Working with the CSS in JDeveloper 11g
Hi All,
I am working on the CSS of the JSF and the ADF Components in JDeveloper11g.
When adding the components it is generating the css for those component dynamically .
When seeing the CSS file Iam unable to understand for which component this particular css is getting affected.
How can I get a clear Idea of how to work with the css of the JDeveloper 11g Components are there any jar files that are generating this css.
Please help me out.
Thanks
Madhavi.Hi,
the use of CSS hasn't change between JDeveloper 11 and 10.1.3. You have two options:
1) create an external CSS file that uses ADF Faces skin selectors and configure it as a skin to ADF Faces
2) Use the inlineStyle property of the components to customize the look and feel
See 10.1.3 documentation:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/htdocs/partners/addins/exchange/jsf/doc/skin-selectors.html

Background image seems to be applied twice Can someone help with this CSS issue....
Can someone help with this CSS issue....
http://66.162.81.144/cms400min/default.aspx
If you view the main page you will see that our background is
2 shades of
orange.. if you look at the line that divides those colors to
the right and
left you wil notice that the line is higher
if you notice that it seems that there is another background
on top of the
first one..its the only thing i can think of..
the only place where the image is being referenced is in this
CSS style
html, body
min-height:100%;
margin-bottom:1px;
text-align:center;
background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-image:url(images/Background-Color2.jpg);
background-color:#F74902;
background-position:center;
background-attachment:fixed;
Is there something wrong with the above CSS that could or
would cause this?
is it because im applying the image to both the HTML and
BODY?
ASP, SQL2005, DW8 VBScript, Visual Studio 2005, Visual Studio
2008You've attached the background to both the html and the body.
I would do this:
html, body {
min-height:100%;
margin-bottom:1px;
body{
text-align:center;
background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-image:url(images/Background-Color2.jpg);
background-color:#F74902;
background-position:center;
background-attachment:fixed;
Having said that the image doesn't look any higher on the
right than the
left to me in Firefox. Is it just an optical illusion?

Speed dial with separate CSS from primary line
Hello All,
I have a question about the possibility of using speed dials on a phone in a somewhat restricted sense. What I would like to do is setup a phone with a primary line that is only capable of making internal calls within our organization, and set a few speed dials that can call outside in the local area code for on-call techs. From what I see speed dials can't be set to a specific CSS, which leads me to believe that phone will just use the CSS of the primary line when making speed dial calls.
The question is, is this possible without messing around with custom CSS's and route patterns?No, as you have seen, they will use the CSS from the configured DN to make the call, they cannot be configured with a separate CSS
