Best width for a page

I am not into fluid designs and I wonder what most people
here are using for a width on sites. It seems that some of the
800px sites are a little small with todays screens.

Search the forum for "page width" and "viewport". This is
discussed here
nearly every day.

Recommended width for iweb page

Hi - can anyone advise me of the best recommended width of a page when using iweb?
I obviously need it to be viewed on iphone/pad but would like the best width for viewing on normal PC/Mac
Many thanks

Apple advises: "You should read this document if you want your web content to look good and perform well on either the desktop or iOS"...
Safari Web Content Guide
...In the "Configuring the Viewport" section there, it says:
"Safari on iOS sets the size and scale of the viewport to reasonable defaults that work well for most webpages (...) The default width is 980 pixels."
And elsewhere:
"...if your webpage is less than 980 pixels wide causing it to scale too small on iPhone..."

Best practice for multi-page site

Hello!
I am working on a website build entirely in Flex 3.
What is the best way to implement multiple pages as I don't want all loding at the same time?
Should I make a 'parent' mxml, say main.mxml (swf later on) which loads the other pages in a VBox where they should show?
Is there a better way?
Thank you!

Split your app into components, use a viewstack for this, not states, and consider modules if there are many views most users never see.
Here are some resources to help you:

Determine the best width for ListCellRenderer - Multi-column combo box

Currently, I am having a multi column combo box. In order for the column to align properly during show popup, I use box layout to do so. However, the short coming for box layout is that, the size for each column is fixed. This makes me have a difficulty, when I have a long string to be displayed. The problem is shown through the following screen shoot.
http://i.imgur.com/4Nfc6.png
This is because in 2nd column,
1) All the 3 rows must be in same size so that they are aligned.
2) But 1st row and 2nd row cell renderer, do not know 3rd row is holding such a long string.
The code (2 files) to demo this problem is as follow. Is there any way the size of the cell will be adjusted automatically? Yet, all the row will be aligned properly.

Are these two lines intentionally or is it just a mismatch?
jLabel2.setMaximumSize(new java.awt.Dimension(100, 14));
jLabel2.setMinimumSize(new java.awt.Dimension(200, 14));
2) But 1st row and 2nd row cell renderer, do not know 3rd row is holding such a long string.There is only one cell renderer for all rows, so no need for the rows to know each other.
To calculate the exact maximum width of column two, you have to check each entry.
If you can do this BEFORE creating the combo, you could do this in a loop similar to this pseudo code
FontMetrics fm= jComboBox1.getFontMetrics(jComboBox1.getFont());
foreach (column2String) {
int length= fm.stringWidth(column2String);
if (length>max) max= length;
}Now you have a max value to dimension jLabel2 in your renderer.
If you don't fill your combo in one go, but rather at runtime, you have to check at each
jComboBox1.addItem(...)
whether the string for label2 is extending the current max, redefine max, and repaint the combo.
This second approach I haven't done so far, but that's how I would try.

Best view for help page

Hi, I am working on a iphone App and I am wondering if you can help me select the most appropriate view for the Help or Information page. In my main window, I have a tool bar. In the bar, there is a small icon (UIButtonTypeInfoDark). If user click it, I would open a new Help page. My page will be long, so it can bot fit in my page. I prefer use can flip up / down so the whole content can be views. Just like we visit a web page on iphone. What kind of view should I use?
I am think about a webview, but the help page content will resides on he iphone, not through a URL connection.
Thank you very much

Is Rh the Best App for Managing 41 manuals, with many pages being the same?

I'd like to automate a labor intensive task that I will soon be assuming. We have 41 install manuals for an automotive accessory that fits 41 different models of vehicles. The current manual is 28 pages with at least 24 pages being identical. The documents are done in Word, along many pictures and drawings. When the document is finished, it is converted to a PDF and sent with the item. The pdf is also made available online for folks who may need the electronic version. When we change one page that is common to all, we have to manually update each Word file and then convert it. As you can imagine, the manuals don't get updated and corrected as often as they should
Since most of the pages are the same, I would like software that can manage changes to these pages and automatically update all manuals. For example, if a change is necessary on page 6 and 34 manuals use this page, I simply change one page and the software "exports" this new page to all affected manuals.
1) Would Rh do this?
2) Would it be the best choice for this task?
3) If Rh is the best choice for this, what is the best approach for beginning this task? Get a book and read or just jump in?
4) I came across a book written by a firm called GooberGuides, is this a good resource? Do you recommend a better one?
5) Does my project require a special technique when setting it up in an app like Rh or is the process fairly intuitive? I don't want to waste time by implementing this incorrectly, only to start over again when I realize there was a better way.
I would be very grateful for any guidance you could provide.
Thank you.
Rodger

I don't think your questions were answered, except for the tool one, which is not the most important one. I would reverse your questions:
Does my project require a special technique? Yes! Single sourcing, which is a methodology for developing modular, reusable information, not a tool. Before you even approach a tool, you must analyze your content, define standards for it, define information types (Google for DITA), and convert it from linear (as your Word documents are) to modular.
I have not seen the GooberGuides book, but I can definitely offer these:
Content Managment for Dynamic Web Delivery - Jo Ann Hackos
DITA 101 - Anne Rockley, Charles Cooper, and Steve Manning
Introduction to DITA: A User Guide to the Darwin Information Typing Architecture - Jennifer Linton & Kylene Bruski
Managing Enterprise Content: A Unified Content Strategy - Anne Rockley
Single Sourcing: Building Modular Documentation- Kurt Ament
Tools - obviously since we're on the Adobe forum, Technical Communication Suite must be acknowledged. But you can accomplish single sourcing with several tools. Check out a brief overview of some at http://www.writersua.com/restools.htm.

What are the best dimensions to allow for iPad 3 Retina for full-page landscape images?

What are the best dimensions to allow for iPad 3 Retina for full-page landscape images?
I read an article and cannot find it that said something about trying to make it 2million pixels and JPG to keep it small, but what exactly should the dimensions be that I ultimately import? Is there some kind of a "density" setting I have to use, as well, when exporting from Photoshop, for example?

See Optimizing performance in your iBooks Author books
Density is discussed by Apple in this context as 'dpi'...
132 - iPad 2
264 - new iPad
At the top of this forum there are popular links listed on the right, including image sizing etc. Be sure to study those existing/previous threads on this topic.

Best Practice for link to WebdynPro page in welcome page

Hi Experts,
I am new in SAP Portal. I need some guidance from you guys. I have a requirement to create welcome page which is JSP and has a link to a WebdynPro page. I have to put the url in JSP file. So i do not know what kind of URL i should put in the JSP.
The problem is if i put the url which i can see in the address bar like 'http://DevServer/WebDynPro/ApplcationA', when i transport it to another server ,for example Production,. The real url might be change to 'http://ProdServer/WebDynPro/ApplcationA'. It may cause the link in JSP can not be worked.
I would like to ask you the best practice for this case. What url? What configuration?
Thank you in advance,
Noppong Jinbunluphol
P.S. For the JSP, i create it in portal application dc.

Dear Noppong,
You can do it with multiple ways like :-
1. Get the current host name and make complete URL with using host name for the webdynpro iview.
request = (IPortalComponentRequest) this.getRequest();
HttpServletRequest req = request.getServletRequest();
StringBuffer strURL = req.getRequestURL();
2. Create the KM Document or Link for webdynpro Iview OR Create the WPC Web Page for the webdynpro ivew

Best practice for java script placement on a BC page?

Hi guys just a general ask about where the best place for java script is on a BC page.
I just watched the this very good video on optimization http://bcgurus.com/tutorials/how-to-do-website-performance-optimization and in it it says how you should try and load the scripts at the bottom of the page so that it loads quicker.
now I want to do this but with it being a BC site i dont know if certain scripts have to be in the head of the doc. For instance the validate script I have? Does anyone know what I can and cant move from the head?
I was going to do what kiyuco like to practice and add all my scripts to a content holder and then add that to my pages/templates. Will BC like me adding this to the bottom of the page and not the head?
Thanks

How do you change/adjust border width for all the cells in a table created in Pages?

How do you change/adjust border width for all the cells in a table created in Pages?
Note- I am trying to figure out how to create and format tables in the latest version of the Pages app on an iPad air (iOS 8.1.1.1) . Creating tables, adding or removing borders for individual/all cells in a table seems straight forward. However the default border style seems to be a heavy black line. How do I change this?
I found the option add or remove borders for all/ individual cells in a table, however I can't find any option within style/format dialogue screens for changing colour or line thickness for table cells. Likewise I can't find any clear instructions on how to do this in apple help pages or support website
Btw- I'm assuming it is possible to customize/adjust the colour & thickness of selected lines in a table created in this app (it's fairly easy to do this word processing apps like MS Word) please let me know if this is not actually possible in Pages

Is pages the best app for creating wedding programs, or would you reccomend something free or cheaper?

As the question is asked three times, I guess that you wish to marry three times.
From my point of view, the best app to do this or that is the one with which we are comfortable.
Every Word processor may be used to achieve your goal.

Not in JDeveloper: Lifecycle PhaseListener best practice for a single page?

ADF Faces 10.1.3.2
* Not using JDeveloper *
Two questions:
I need to add logic to the lifecycle for one page and not all of the pages in the application.
1.) What is the best practice to write a Lifecycle PhaseListener for a single page?
I understand that I need to extend the PageController class and override the methods I want to change, then use the new page controller in your pages.
I'm referencing:
http://www.oracle.com/webapps/online-help/jdeveloper/10.1.3?topic=adf_plifecyclehandlejsf_html
2.) Since I'm not using JDeveloper, how to I use the PageController class?
Thanks,
--Todd

Frank: Please let me clairfy.
I am using ADF Faces, just not using the JDeveloper IDE to develop the application.
I am using Netbeans 5.5.1.
So going back to my question, after extending the PageController, how to I make that class a part of my application in Java code, faces-config.xml or adf-faces-config.xml?
Thanks,
--Todd

What is the best practice for creating master pages and styles with translated text?

I format translated text all the time for my company. I want to create a set of master pages and styles for each language and then import those styles into future translated documents. That way, the formatting can be done quickly and easily.
What are the best practices for doing this? As a company this has been tried in the past, but without success. I'd like to know what other people are doing in this regard.
Thank you!

I create a master template that is usually void of content, with the exception I define as many of the paragraph styles I believe can/will be used with examples of their use in the body of the document--a style guide for that client. When beginning a new document for that client, I import those styles from the paragraph styles panel.
Exception to this is when in a rush I begin documentation first, then begin new work. Then in the new work, I still pull in those defined paragraph and or object styles via their panels into the new work.
There are times I need new styles. If they have broader applicability than a one-off instance or publication, then I open the style template for that client and import that style(s) from the publication containing the new style(s) and create example paragraphs and usage instructions.
Take care, Mike

Best practices for submitting CF data to an AJAX page?

Hi everyone,
I've got a project I'm working on for work and have hit a
little problem.
I am extracting data from my database and then after each
piece of data (just numbers, usually 10 chunks of numbers), I tack
a "|" onto the end of each number. Then, I output the data to the
page. Back on my AJAX enabled page, I get the "responseText" from
that page, and then split it up using javascript and the
pre-inserted "|".
This seems to work fine, but it is quite a bit more messy.
Also, It would really, really be nice to be able to do sorting and
various other operations on the data with javascript instead of
having to rely on CF's icky code logic.
Can someone please enlighten me as to best practices for this
type of thing? I get the suspicion that I'll probably be using XML
somehow, but I'd your opinion.
Thanks!

Check out the Samples and Documentation portions of Adobe's
Spry website for client side use of JSON with Spry.

If you are using CF8 you can use the SerializeJSON function
to convert a variable to JSON. You might also be interested in the
cfsprydataset tag. CF 8 documentation:

If you are using a previous version of CF there is 3rd party
JSON support. You can find links at

What is the best practise for setting dirty flag of a page/view?

For a page/view, normaylly there are 2 things to do for diry data:
1. when it's clean, Save button is disabled, when it's dirty, save button is enabled.
2. when it's dirty and the window is closed, a popup says "you have unsaved data, close will lose the data".
My thought is: it must be handled at client side, because not all valuechange is auto submitted. E.g., you type the 1st letter of a string in a input box, the server side does not know it, but save button should be enabled immediately.
Is it possible to capture all valueChange events in a page or a view at client side?
I'm not sure what is the best practise for setting dirty flag? If there is better solution? Does ADF provide facility for this?

public void save(ActionEvent event){
boolean formValid = isFormValid();
   if (formValid) {
save button is enabled.
    private boolean isFormValid() {
        boolean valid = true;
        if (Check Condition 1) {
            valid = false;
           showErrorMessage1();
        if (Check Condition 2) {
            valid = false;
           showErrorMessage1();
        return valid;
    private void showErrorMessage1() {
                when it's dirty and the window is closed, a popup says "you have unsaved data, close will lose the data".
