Bitmap and shed images in HTML output

Hi All,
I've recently switched my primary layout from WinHelp to HTML
Help to prepare for Vista. I'm using RoboHelp for Word X5.0.1.
Should I be worried about the shed load of small bitmap
images that exist throughout the project? It would certainly take a
long time to convert those to jpg or gif.
Also, my shed images are not being displayed in compiled
output (I get the little box with a "?" instead). Is the shed image
format incompatible with HTML Help?
Thanks,
Jon
P.S. I'm learning UK slang from reading this website. I am
sure to impress my coworkers in the US, right?

Hi Jack,
Please follow the guidelines exposed here:

How to drag and drop images on html page?

Is there a simple way to drag images on your webpage so that they are positioned at different coordinates?
I have an img whose CSS position is set to absolute and top and left are both set to zero. I would like to simply drag the image to another location in the design view and have it update the tag's style with the new coordinates.
The types of web pages I am building must use abosolute positioning extensively and having to hand code each position would be very inefficient.
Thanks!

If you are using CC then you can't; If you are using CS6 then:
Insert >> Layout Objects >> ApDiv
See this picture:
Once the APDIV is inserted, you can drag it whereever you it to be.
Good luck.

Page info in HTML output

Hi,
Is it possible to show the page information (page number, repeating header and footer) in the HTML output?
I created a RTF template included page number,header and footer, which are displayed correctly in PDF formatted output.(Header and footer repeating in each page.) When generating HTML formatted output, the page number will always be 1 and header/footer are displayed just once. It seems that HTML formatted output is just one page.
Is it possible for HTML formatted output to show the same content(each page number, repeating header and footer) as PDF formatted output?
(XML publisher version is 5.5.)
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Zhxiang.

HTML has only one page output.
You probably have to define a number of lines for one page and figure out when this number is reached to "send" a page number to the report.

HTML output and missing graph

I am developing a report having a graph in BI Publisher 10.1.3.3.0. When the report o/p is genereated to PDF, the graph is showing up, but the same report doesnt return the chart in HTML output (it shows small icon in the place of graph). I followed Tim Dexter's blog http://blogs.oracle.com/xmlpublisher/2006/10/31 here. But, I didnt understand where i need to make the settings for 'Base image URI' and 'Image file directory' .
In the Runtime configuration properties for this report, under HTML output, I see the foll.
-show header
-show footer
-replace smart quotes
-character set
-make HTML output accessible
-user percentage width for table columns.
I even tried the o/p in excel and rtf but, the graph is missing in the o/p as well.
Thanks in advance

Can someone help me how to get the graph in HTML?

Image not displayed in html output used webservice to store in a location

hi
we have used webservices to store the pdf and html outputs but the problem is when we are seeing the preview in the bi publisher we can see the image in pdf and html but when we run through webservices and see the output files that are stored in some location image in the html output is not displayed but in the pdf we can see the image.
i have used the direct insertion image option in the header section. is the problem because i have used the direct insertion.
can you give the idea how to import logo from an external location so that we can check the if it is problem with direct insertion or problem with the webservice as we are storing the output files outside the catlog but it may not be wrong because in pdf we can see the image.
I am not having any idea how to solve thsi issue..
Sorry to bother you with these many questions
Thanks in Advance
Have a Nice day.

Please state which BI Publisher version you are using.
In case it is 10g then please always test the application with the latest patch first!.
BTW today there is been a new patch 11846804 released for 10.1.3.4.1 (March 2011).

Image path in HTML output

Hi all,
I'm trying to deliver a BI report using the ftp device.
The report is delivered in HTML format correctly, but
when I try to open it, images that should display charts
are not visible.
Giving a look at the HTML code I've noticed that the image
source path is:
<img src="/xmlpserver/xdo/tmp/xdoimgZA4ql3v7Hz31567.gif">
which is not the correct path.
Is there a way to automatically set that path when the
report is delivered?
Thank you in advance,
Roberto

If you were to output the same report as PDF instead of HTML, I'm guessing the PDF file would contain the actual image. (Am I right anyone?) However, when you output as HTML, there is no way to embed an image in the HTML output.
HTML can only reference external images via URLs, so it appears from your output HTML code that BI Publisher creates a temporary GIF image and allows it to be referenced via that unique URL. Who knows how long that URL is valid?
After you FTP the output to another server, the <img src> reference is no longer valid, because the path in the src attribute is relative to the HTML file itself. The FTP'd report might show the image if you edit the HTML file so the src attribute includes the full URL to the image:
<img src="http://bi.publisher.host:port/xmlpserver/xdo/tmp/xdoimgZA4ql3v7Hz31567.gif"/>
But again, how long does BI Publisher cache the image, and how long until the login session times out so you can no longer access it anyway? Note that you would have to use the same browser session to view the FTP'd report as was used to run the report in the first place. In other words, run the BIP report initially using a browser on the host that is the FTP destination for the report. Then edit the <img> tag, and finally open the HTML file in the same browser.
A note to other readers: Images in RTF templates are often used as mere placeholders for charts created when the report is run. It is the "Alternate Text" assigned to the dummy image that tells the XSL-FO processor how to replace the image with a chart displaying the report output data.
To solve this problem in a more supportable way, please see this Tim Dexter blog entry:

Image sizing for HTML output

Hi,
ias904
the user help About Images states:
"The size of the object that contains the URL defines the size of the image in the HTML output. Any elasticity properties applied to the object are ignored."
I've got an item of type Image URL and I'm unable to get images to display using their original size definition - Reports always apply its own sizing - resulting images are skewed
Is this a feature or can any properties be set to fix this??
Thanks
Pete

Hi Pete,
I've got an item of type Image URL If the image is present on the local file system, then if you choose Vertical and Horizontal elasticity as variable, the images are automatically sized to their correct size. In this case, the Reports Server has access to the images while formatting the report, so it can leave appropriate width and height for the image.
However, in case the image is a web URL, then Reports Server (while formatting the report) does not get access to the actual images. So it does not know how much exact width and height should be left. So the only way out in this case is that you design the Image URL object according to the final size of the image. It means that at design time, you will have to manually compare the size of the object with the image, and resize the object accordingly.

When I try to save an image firefox is automatically removing any image filetype (.jpg .png .bmp etc) and replacing it with .html

Every time I try to save an image by right clicking and going save image as firefox is changing the filetype to .html
It does it for every website and every image regardless of its file type. Even if you go to the direct link for the image and try to save it, it will save it as "image.htm" rather than "image.jpg" as it shows the file to be in the address bar.

Try the Firefox SafeMode. 
''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' 
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
# You can open the Firefox 4/5/6/7 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
# Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. 
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.

Is text mining operations on document binary and its HTML output is simiar?

Does the text mining operations differ when I perform on document binary or its HTML output? Do you think the results would be the same, if i performed clustering operation on the HTML or text output of a binary document instead of its binary file.
Please comment!

I assume you are trying to put an anchor tag in a text item, that points to a document stored elsewhere in the Portal repository.
Use a direct access URL (search the online help for info on these) to construct the link to the document. You can use a relative URL by leaving out the "http://server.domain:port" part of the URL - e.g. {a href="/pls/portal30/docs/FOLDER/MYROOTFOLDER/MYSUBFOLDER/MyDocument.DOC"} - I'm using {} here instead of <> because real tags get messed up in these forum messages.
The Portal FAQ explains how to use httpd.conf to define a redirect directive.

Saving and referencing images

Okay, I can get the charting component to set a directory where it will place the image.
1) What path should I tell it to write the image to?
2) How do I reference that image with a URL?
I hope that makes it easier for y'all to understand and, hopefully, answer. Thanks! --Shibli

Hi Shibli,
I think you misunderstood.
You should read the <a href="https://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.comhttp://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/docs/library/dotnet/pdk%20for%20.net/developer's%20Guide%20PDK%202.0%20for%20.NET/How%20to/ThirdPartyChartControl.htm">how-to</a> more carefully.
The how-to relies on the fact that a server can return to a client not just html, but also stream files. In order to do that, it changes the mime type and sends the file as a stream.
So what we do is write a portal component that is called actually TWICE. once for the html, and once AGAIN for the image!
first we set the source of an image control to itself (plus a query param).
like this:
Image1.Source = this.iViewPath + "?Chart=Pie";
This will eventually render like this: <IMG SRC="sameiView?Chart=Pie">
when the browser will receive this, it will call the same component AGAIN, only this time in the page load we will intercept the query and not render the regular html but return the actual image as a stream! (see how-to for the code)
Now you still have the question of how to write this code that will stream the image to the client. This is done by either "saving" the bitmap from the chart control directly to the output stream (like in the how-to), or if the chart control can't provide a real bitmap, and can only save a image somewhere (which is very strange by the way), then we will ask the chart to save the image somewhere first and then we will read it from there again to a bitmap, and then "save" it again, this time to the output stream. In both cases we need to change the mime type to "image" (as in the how-to).
Hope that clears up the confusion,
Ofer

Help on resizing text boxes and general image techniques

Using CS2.
I have two basic questions. One has to do with getting the best vector images (with text) that I can for placement in InDesign documents. The other has to do with the specifics of working with text boxes in FW.
The easiest way for me to produce vector images has been by using PowerPoint. I do all the graphics work and then save it as a gif. I do cropping in a graphics tool (Irfanview, PS) and then insert or place the image. As long as there is no resizing, things work well. I'm not sure how things like DPI are controlled using this technique but I'm assuming that also would be done with the graphics tool. I know Irfanview allows for the dpi to be specified during resizing.
The problem starts to show up when the gif object is resized. Things get distorted and I lose the crispness of the image contents. I'm certainly not an expert on graphics however I've been thinking I either need to 1) make the actual size of graphics in PP the size of the final placed image so there is no resizing (just some cropping) or 2) to work in a tool like FW where (I'm assuming) there are better capabilities to resize vector graphics. My sense (again, not an expert) is that the process I'm using converts to vector graphics in PP to a bitmap image in the gif and that resizing doesn't work as well for bitmaps as for vector objects. Do I have that right?
Moving on to question 2:
Can text boxes be resized in FW without distorting the text? Can their size be seen when originally drasing them? Perhaps spoiled by PowerPoint, I like to set the width of vector objects (e.g. rectangle) and the width of the text that will fill it to the same size. (I know PP has the ability to put borders on text boxes but when working in FW I need to work with 2 objects, the rectangle and the text box). Say I have a rectangle that is 81px wide. Can I set a text box to 81px wide without distorting the text?
I tend to want to control actual object sizes so I can get good spacial alignment. For example, I tend to set the width of a text object to an odd number of px so that any line coming out of the text object aligns well with the text. I must admit that it may be time for me to use a different technique in FW (e.g. more alignment of multiple objects vs. knowing dimensions and seting locations). Does my approach need improvement?
Thanks for any advice
Tom

As I wean off of PP I've started looking at FW and Illustrator (I have both). I've done a logo or two in FW and have used it to build some simple web graphics (e.g. buttons, menus). It can, as I recall, be a little more complex than what I need in this case.
Since PP is not a graphics program, its drawing capabilities are very limited. As a consequence, any graphics application will have many more features than you're used to seeing and more than you need for any one project.
I did a little experimenting with Illustrator and my first impression is that it will work better for me for this work. It seems a little more intuitive.
Is a general guideline to use FW for web-destined graphics and Illustrator for what I used to do in PP?
Your suggested guideline is good. Also, note that if you make a logo or vector graphic in Illustrator (saving as .ai format), you can import that into Fireworks and work with it as a vector object there. FW can import and use, just not create, .ai objectes and files.
FW has some vector tools, they are tucked away under Window > Others > Path. Since FW is intended for producing Web graphics, it is a hybrid application, capable of both vector and photo/image editing. Given that it has some of both, it necessarily doesn't have everything that Illustrator has nor everything that Photoshop has. It has most the features of both of those programs, as long as the feature is useful for a Web graphics designer. For pure photo editing Photoshop has the edge; for pure illustration, Illustrator has the edge. Both Photoshop and Illustrator support color profiles and other features important for print that Fireworks does not. All are good programs, but there are reasons to prefer one over the other depending on what kind of graphics you need to create or work with and what your intended use of the work is. (But any of them will be superior to PowerPoint! )
I'm not sure I can unravel the mystery with the text box resizing. I suspect theres an option selected. Knowing it can be done is enough for me to do some homework.
Maybe...don't think of text boxes at all. You have text objects. The object has a bounding box that is determined by the underlying definition of the font, but it isn't in a text box. (Sometimes swooshs will extend beyond the defining box of a character in the font, but that is another issue). The bounding box for the text object is similar to the bounding box of a circle or a star or an irregular shape. There's a reference box for the dimensions, but the text is not inside some other independent container.
To resize, select the text object and change the font size either using the Properties palette or using the scale tool to drag on a corner of the scaling outline (different from the bounding box, and I don't know why, sorry).
I think that,with Illustrator, you can define text boxes (or other shapes) and fill them with text. *searches* Ah.. Like these: http://school.tatoland.com/illustrator/aitype.html

MIME Multipart/related to embed images in html files - Servlet

Hello,
My goal is to embed images in html/xhtml files to decrease latency when using slow networks. Think about mobile phones, if I have 10 images in one page, I will have 11 requests/responses to get the whole page.
The solution would be to embed all images using Content-type multipart/related, so I have one request to the whole pack.
How to do that in java? I mean, I need to set the content-type and build all parts encoding the images to base64.
I tried JavaMail API, there I can build messages like this and instead of send an e-mail, I can write:
myMimeMultipart.writeTo(response.getOutputStream());
The problem is: I am getting everything as text in my browser, including the MIME headers of each part. Another think is that the first header (the main one) doesn't appear too.
Any thoughts/other ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Andr� Carlucci

If memory serves me right, I believe in the Servlet spec you have access to the Response object. You "should" be able to set any headers you need there. In addition, you can get the output streams just as you described.
I did a similar thing, although slightly modified, to output dynamically-generated XLS (Excel Spreadsheet) files using a reporting engine called JasperReports. It wasn't a multipart response, however, so you may need to figure out how to handle that part of it, but in my case I set the mime-type header, then grabbed the output and started writing my XLS file too it. Once done, you close the streams and return the response. Worked perfect.

Convert rtf to pdf with good font and sharp images

I can convert rtf to pdf in Microsoft Word (2004) using the Print function but the resulting document doesn't maintain the same font and the images look a bit hinky as a result.
I tried to convert from rtf to pdf in Acrobat 9 but it sez unsupported file type.
I just want a really clean conversion that keeps the images sharp and the fonts looking good. Am I out of luck?

CQ inserting divs into HTML output?

Hey y'all,
I'm working on a project using CQ5.5 and am noticing a bizarre result in the HTML that I am getting from my templates. I'm noticing divs inserted that appear nowhere in my jsp files that I can only assume are being put there by CQ (because the naming convention "cq-gen#" appears). Example below (textandheading is the name of a custom component I created):
<div id="cq-gen7" class="textandheading text parbase textheading cq-element-textheading">
This wouldn't be a problem except that some of these divs are overriding the styles from the CSS I'm using and causing my text/images etc to display incorrectly. Has anyone experienced anything like this before? It's inserting a whole bunch of divs like the one I pasted in above all over the place. I would like to find a way of removing these divs from my HTML output.
Thanks in advance for your help!
