Can I create a curved faux column?

I am relatively new to web design, Dreamweaver and CSS and I am not sure what are the limitations involved.
I would like to create a 3 column layout with a the sidebar having a curved look instead of a simple straight box
and have it scalable according to content.
I understand the concept of the faux column and was wondering if there are any method that could be modified to achieve the result?
Is my only option to create the background in Photoshop?
Thanks

Hi
To reply to Myleniums answer, using css3, you would have to apply css3 rounded corners to just one corner of the item, along with adjusting the corner width and color to get the rounded effect, then apply a background color to get the left hand item. Finally using css3 transform rotate the item inside a div to the required position.
I think everyone will agree, this is not worth the effort when a simple image of the 'curve' placed inside a div with the required color and a placed background image, would create the same effect.

  • How can i create an auto increment column

    Hello Everyone
    We are working on an EAM package which has an auto number facility but that is not meeting our requirement because some 10s and 100s of numbers keep on jumping based on the number of records the child table has.Means every record in my parent table will have some child records in another table which we call it a child table.The number of numbers that will be jumped each time will depend on the number of child records it has. Now we want to create a new column and generate a sequential unique number in my parent table with out linking it to its child table and use this number as a reference number. And we cant do that through our package customization. Can any one guide us if we can meet our requirement through oracle triggers or so.
    Thanks and Regards

    Hi,
    For "Auto-Increment" functionality - you can use a combination of a sequence and a trigger like so:
    create table roles ( role_id INT
                       , role_name VARCHAR2(30) NOT NULL
                       , creation_date DATE DEFAULT SYSDATE NOT NULL
                       , role_description VARCHAR2(255)
                       , CONSTRAINT roles_pk PRIMARY KEY (role_id)
                       , CONSTRAINT roles_uk1 UNIQUE (role_name)
    create sequence role_id_seq
    start with 1
    increment by 1
    nocache;
    CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER roles_pk_trig
    BEFORE
    insert on roles
    for each row
    begin
    IF :new.role_id IS NULL THEN
       SELECT role_id_seq.NEXTVAL
       INTO :new.role_id
       FROM dual;
    END IF;
    end;
    /Now any insert which leaves the "ROLE_ID" column NULL will have an auto-incremented value put in for that column. This is similar to an "Autonumber" column in Access.
    Hope this helps...
    Take care.

  • How can I create an index on the date part of a timestamp field?

    is there a way I can create an index on the date part of a timestamp field?

    LONGENECKER wrote:
    Idea:
    If you find no direct command that allows you to create an index on JUST the date portion of a timestamp datatype column then I recommend you consider splitting date and time into two seperate columns.
    If date is column "A" and time is column "B" then you can concatenate them using a view or virtual column (in 11G) to re-assemble them at run time.
    In the solution I describe above you might trade ease of management for better performing queries.
    Additional Info:
    This thread may be of some value.
    Can we create INDEX on TIMESTAMP column???
    And what datatype do you propose for your columns A and B? The only proper datatypes would be DATE or TIMESTAMP. Both of these inherently carry both date and time components, so that would have to be dealt with anyway. The use of any character or number datatype to hold date and/or time should be treated with an application of Billy's lead pipe.
    Perhaps function based indexes would be a better solution.

  • How to create index on xmltype column

    I have a table having only one column xmlcontent (xmltype). This table stores xml data of about 10GB size. I'm using extract value to move the data to staging tables.
    How can I create index on xmltype column?
    Create index indexname on table (column) doesn't seem to work.
    Sample xmlstructure is given below
    <Root>
    <Type>Insert</Type>
    <Date>2006-12-29</Date>
    <Source>8</Source>
    <id>data</id>
    <key_flds>
    <fld><id>Key1</id><val>C</val></fld>
    <fld><id>Key2</id><val>429672</val></fld>
    <fld><id>Key3</id><val>8</val></fld>
    </key_flds>
    </Root>
    I need to do extract value on all tags and move them to corresponding relational tables.

    Hi, you need to create them using something like this (what I have used and work rather well - if I did not load the xml into an xml table, the processing took about 10 minutes, while the indexed xml table took just a few seconds). statute_xml is the table name and sxmldoc is the xml column/field.
    create index desc_idx on statute_xml
    (sxmldoc.existsNode('/SimpleTypeCompanion/EnumerationValue/@description'))
    create index sid_idx on statute_xml
    (sxmldoc.existsNode
    ('/SimpleTypeCompanion/EnumerationValue/Text')
    create index effdate_idx on statute_xml
    (sxmldoc.existsNode
    ('/SimpleTypeCompanion/EnumerationValue/@effectiveDate')
    Hope this helps.

  • At max how many logical columns can be created in RPD

    Hi All,
    At max how many logical columns can be created in RPD. I have a requirement of creating 200 columns. Will there be any problem .
    Is there any predefind number of columns for RPD creation??
    Please help ..

    Hi Annapurna,
    There's no limit that I'm aware of or which is mentioned anywhere. Just as an example: I have a logical fact table with around 750 logical columns (>500 original measures & 250 derived measures). No issue whatsoever. Opening the presentation table through answers takes about 2-3 seconds (the NQSQL command has a lot to retrieve), but that's about it.

  • Can't create a personal email account on my Blackberry Curve 8520.

    Hi and Welcome to the Forums!
     To use the proprietary RIM Push email capability, you must have an adequate data plan from your carrier. The carriers host BIS for their BB users. Typically, BIS is not available via generic data plans. Many carriers call what is necessary The Blackberry Data Plan. Whatever they call it, it is the carrier who delivers BIS to their BB users -- contact them for assistance. Once you have a BIS-capable data plan on your BB (at whatever fees your carrier will charge, btw), you will then have Personal Email added to the email setup wizard.
    Good luck!

  • How can I creat 4 columns?

    How can I creat 4 columns? I want a check box, text field for details, and a second column of each.

    You can create fields side by side by clicking the "+" sign on the right edge of a field (when it is selected), you can certainly add the fields you describe all in a row.  FormsCentral doesn't have the concept of columns, but you can lay it out so you have those fields in a column type layout.
    You might want to adjust the label position for the fields to get the layout you desire, you can define the label position per field in the Properties panel for the field.
    Note that you can also drag/drop fields into position.  Click/drag on the far left edge of a field to drag, a blue insertion marker will show you where it will be dropped when you let go.

    I know that all splines are Bezier's, a.k.a Bezier invented them (please CMIIW).
    For example:
    B-spline = Bezier's spline
    NURBS = Non-Uniform Rational Bezier Surface
    I think all of the curves created by using the pen tool is a linear, quadratic, and cubic Bezier curve.

  • Can we create an associative array of Object type Column

    Hi All,
    I have a scenario where there are many PLSQL Types passed as IN and OUT params in a procedure. Since the Java cannnot access these types, we've plannned to create Object types.
    However the can we create one Object type as below:
    create or replace type T_EMP_REC as object
    emp_id number(8),
    dept_id number(8),
    emp_name varchar2(50),
    Then now I want to create an array of T_EMP_REC.emp_id and others respectively. Is this possible.
    The reason for doing this is, that we may get many emp_id, dept_id and emp_name for a condition and hence pass on the same to Java application.
    Please share your thoughts to achieve for such scenario. Any pseudo or code logic is much helpful.

  • Equal length, faux columns in the CS4 thrColHybHdr template

    In this CS4 template ( three colum hybrid with header - footer,  sidebar columns in em [or fixed] center column width in % capped with full span header and footer), I am trying to accomplish the look of equal column lenth (ie,the faux column technique). I'll admit I am coming up the learning curve with CSS, but I've tried to do alot of homework and read on the faux column technique. Honest! But I've yet to find an exact example of this though, and every close variation I try tweaking doesn't quite pan out.
    Somebody PLEASE tell me how to get this to look just like the little pictograph of it in Dreamweaver!

    I dont know if it is possible to set up faux columns with fixed / % /fixed widths, I'd love to see the answer to that.
    If you were to set your center to a fixed width, its pretty easy.  You wrap the 3 columns in a wrapper div, You create a background image that matches the widths of the column, set it as your background image in the wrapper div, and set the overflow rule to hidden and set repeat to y in your css.
    So for example if your cols are 200px, 400px, 200px, you create an image 800px wide, height is not all that important with first 200px being the color you want your first column, 400 your center and 200 your right, You have a faux column
    There is a second faux technique that has a catch to it. If you leave the width a %, what you can to is to again create the wrapper, only make the background a color, again overflow to hidden, set no color for the left and right columns. Set the center div background color to whatever you want. The catch is that you would have to make sure that the center div is always the longest, and by a good margin, otherwise you see the differences at the bottom.
    That is the only way I know with fixed and % widths, but would love to hear other opinions.

  • Having Trouble with Faux Columns

    I've reviewed several websites that have code for Faux Columns but I still can't get my sidebar to stretch along the length of the page. Here's my code: 
    <!--
    body 
    .twoColLiqLtHdr #container
    .twoColLiqLtHdr #header
    .twoColLiqLtHdr #header h1  
    /* Tips for sidebar1:
    1. since we are working in percentages, it's best not to use padding on the sidebar. It will be added to the width for standards compliant browsers creating an unknown actual width.
    2. Space between the side of the div and the elements within it can be created by placing a left and right margin on those elements as seen in the ".twoColLiqLtHdr #sidebar1 p" rule.
    3. Since Explorer calculates widths after the parent element is rendered, you may occasionally run into unexplained bugs with percentage-based columns. If you need more predictable results, you may choose to change to pixel sized columns.
    .twoColLiqLtHdr #sidebar1
    .twoColLiqLtHdr #sidebar1 h3, .twoColLiqLtHdr #sidebar1 p {
         margin-left: 5px; /* the left and right margin should be given to every element that will be placed in the side columns */
         margin-right: 5px;
    /* Tips for mainContent:
    1. the space between the mainContent and sidebar1 is created with the left margin on the mainContent div.  No matter how much content the sidebar1 div contains, the column space will remain. You can remove this left margin if you want the #mainContent div's text to fill the #sidebar1 space when the content in #sidebar1 ends.
    2. to avoid float drop at a supported minimum 800 x 600 resolution, elements within the mainContent div should be 430px or smaller (this includes images).
    3. in the Internet Explorer Conditional Comment below, the zoom property is used to give the mainContent "hasLayout." This avoids several IE-specific bugs.
    .twoColLiqLtHdr #mainContent
    .twoColLiqLtHdr #footer
    .twoColLiqLtHdr #footer p  
    /* Miscellaneous classes for reuse */
    .fltrt { /* this class can be used to float an element right in your page. The floated element must precede the element it should be next to on the page. */
         float: right;
         margin-left: 8px;
    .fltlft { /* this class can be used to float an element left in your page */
         float: left;
         margin-right: 8px;
    .clearfloat { /* this class should be placed on a div or break element and should be the final element before the close of a container that should fully contain a float */
         clear:both;
        height:0;
        font-size: 1px;
        line-height: 0px;
    -->
    </style><!--[if IE]>
    <style type="text/css">
    /* place css fixes for all versions of IE in this conditional comment */
    .twoColLiqLtHdr #sidebar1 { padding-top: 30px; }

    That's not quite how faux columns work - you'd make an image
    the width
    of your container with the dimensions you need - perhaps a
    line only to
    separate a left and right column or something a little more
    detailesd -
    the image's height can be sliced very small as it will repeat
    on the y
    axis, attached via css to the container. You can then use
    margins or
    divs floated left and right to keep your content on either
    side.
    Something like this I made earlier......
    http://www.bealeandpyper.co.uk/
    and the background image......
