Carriage returns in web galleries?

Has anyone succeeded in putting carriage returns in web galleries? The most important place is in the caption option where you can string together a bunch of metadata fields. Surely people want a carriage return between their caption field and, for example, their shutter speed or aperature or whatever... Personally, I want to put the location fields in. I can't put commas in between because I don't always have all of the location fields and there is no logic possibility (like, no content in field, don't put in comma).
I am interested in HTML galleries, not flash.
Thanks!
Judy

Judith,
I've just had a go and I see what you mean. I've tried it by adding a <BR> tag into the caption, but LR outsmarts me and no combination of quotes or backslashes seems to escape it successfully. I can enter it in the dialogue box with alt-enter but it doesn't appear in the HTML.
However, if you put something like XBRX into the caption and then did a global find & replace on the resulting file(s) to change it to <BR> then it will work.
If you're on a Mac it's easy to knock up a little shell script that will do it, but on a PC I have no idea.

Oracle Reports 6i Delimied Format and Carriage Returns

Hi
I'm using Oracle Reports 6i to generate a report to a text file using delimited format so I can read it in Excel. I've done some testing putting some information in the layout but it seems that all my data is generated in one line. It does not generate the carriage return for the multiple rows I need. Is this standard functionality?. If so, that means I have to generate the file using PL/SQL to get the control I want?

Whew...lot's of questions...let's see if I can help (at least a little)...
1. Quite possibly, the user is/was pulling the image from the database? I do this in my environment, so it might be worth a look.
2. You should be able to print in any format from the web. You may need to adjust your destype/desname/desname parameters.
3. Only thing I can think of here is that maybe the original report was not written using a standard web-friendly font?
4. There's a couple of ways you can get data into an excel file:
A. Use DDE and poke the data right into it (messy when you need to print the regular Oracle report too).
B. Add an option to print to file and set the desformat to DELIMITEDDATA. Be sure to go through the data model and set Exclude from XML Output to 'Yes' for fields you don't need. Also, be aware that this may not come out in the same order as they do on the printed report. You can read about this on Metalink.
Hopefully that helps you a little bit. :)

Keep white spaces and carriage returns?

I'm viewing a column -VARCHAR2(4000)- in a standard report column.
The column value contains white spaces and carriage returns.
I put "white-space:pre;" in CSS Style, but it still skips carriage returns...
What can I do to view white spaces and carriage returns?
I'm using apex 3.0 and IE 7.
Saad.

I'm using apex 3.0 and IE 7.There's your problem...
IE6 (and, since there don't seem to be any docs saying anything different, presumably IE7) don't support white-space: pre in quirks mode. Don't ask me why - probably in one of MS efforts to "not break the web".
All the APEX built-in templates are rendered in quirks mode as they don't supply complete DOCTYPEs. If you are using a standard APEX template or a custom template without a complete DOCTYPE declaration you are probably seeing this quirks behaviour.
It looks like this will change in IE8.

Web galleries: how to get back to Homepage quickly?

I have several Aperture web galleries on my .Mac homepage. I like the look but the huge downside is that when someone gets to the last page, e.g. number 15, to get back to my homepage they have to either go back in their browser 15 times or re-enter my homepage address. Is there a way for them to get back to my homepage (which is my site menu) in one click?
I am also thinking of making my own website with iWeb. Would I have the same problem with it?
John

here are a couple threads that i think will help with your question ...
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=3298419#3298419
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=3091989&
i personally have edited my templates to include a couple of "returns" from the large images ... also if you click the "tidy photography" image it will (in most cases) send you back to the previous menu (on the older pages it goes to my homepage - still havent fixed this)

Carriage Return ignored in ABAP Created HTML?

We are in the pre-production box for an upgrade.
We have ABAP source code that generates HTML logic. It worked fine in 4.6.
The carriage return/line feeds are being ignored.
I have already tried all the cl_abap_char_utilities=>NEWLINE
                                          cl_abap_char_utilities=>CR_LF
                                          cl_abap_char_utilities=>FORMFEED.....and more
I've tried the conversion utilities also.
When we look in the debugger we see the cr_lf values as ##, and 0d000a00 in hex, which should work, right?
But, when we view the source code on the web page - where arrays are not being built because the crlfs are being ignored- we can see that when the html is being written, the crlfs are ignored and the html is all over the place, unformatted.
I am thinking there must be a another HTML Function Module that might be available to format the html table before sending it out thru WWW_HTML_MERGER. Again, even in debug everything look good, but when it writes it to the URL the crlfs are ignored?
     Any suggestions?

Becuase you enter your patterns as expressions where some characters are used as control characters, and then have to esacpe some of the control characters in the expressions when you enter them as java strings.
So the expression is actually \r\n if you let a user enter it into a textfield, but you have to escape the \ if you write it as a String in the source code (since \ is an escape characters in strings)

Ampersand in Title/Caption for Web Galleries

You probably all know this already, but I didn't...
I've been getting to grips with the
Sean's tip for formatting captions in web galleries, including
Matthew's Slimbox gallery. As you'll see in the thread linked above, I had some trouble initially using it with Slimbox, but I thought I'd got to grips with it until...
A title for one of my pictures was "Beer & Blues". By that I mean the Title field in the Library module, as distinct from the Title field in the Web Module.
In Flash galleries it works just fine.
In the LR HTML (and Slimbox) galleries using an & in the image title metadata field can cause a variety of symptoms including:
- just displaying a blank background and never getting round to rendering the gallery when Web module is selected
- replacing "Custom Settings" next to the Title/Caption radio buttons in the Web module with "Edit...", consuming 100% CPU, displaying the rainbow spinning beach ball of death, and taking several minutes to return
- apparently working but obstinately refusing to acknowledge any edits made
There appears to be some interaction between this behaviour and using the <ag:formatted> technique, but I'm struggling to pin it down.
All of these symptoms disappear by using either "and" or "&" in place of "&".

Sean,
I'm sure you're right and that's what's happening. I have no excuse for not realising although I did track it down by a process of elimination.
Anyway I know
i now!

Hold carriage returns in PHP MySQL database?

I'm creating a limited news database for a not-for-profit
site and I want to let admin users write a long entry which may
include multiple paragraphs (i.e. carriage returns) and even bold
text for subheadings would be nice. I haven't been able to find out
the proper code and DB settings to allow users to do this.
Anyone have a simple solution?

The way I handle text formatting with dynamic data is to
carefully construct
your DB with formatting in mind
Create separate fields for headlines and copy. When you call
the data to
your web page surround the heading with the desired tag. Of
course you will
not always have a heading, so, to eliminate empty spaces add
a conditional
statement to ignore the field if it is null.
like this:
database:
news_id
news_headline1
news_copy1
news_headline2
news_copy2
web page:
<?php if (strlen($row_getNews['news_headline1']) > 0)
{?>
<h3><?php echo $row_getNews['news_headline1'];
?></h3>
<?php }?>
<p><?php echo $row_getNews['news_copy1'];
?></p>
<?php if (strlen($row_getNews['news_headline2']) > 0)
{?>
<h3><?php echo $row_getNews['news_headline2];
?></h3>
<?php }?>
<?php if (strlen($row_getNews['news_copy2']) > 0)
{?>
<p><?php echo $row_getNews['news_copy2'];
?></p>
<?php }?>

Search function in web galleries

Does anyone know of a way to add Keyword search functionality to Aperture web galleries?
I have an image library I would like to make available to a client who regularly re-use photo's from their (rather large) back-catalog. As I am already using Aperture to process and manage their images a searchable online gallery seems like the obvious solution, but I can't seem to find a way to add a Keyword Search function.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated...

The Search function is a field where you can type a word and
it will return topics in which that word is located. So when you
state that is what is WAS and then say "NOW it seems that it's just
a listing of every word in the Help and the number of occurrences"
I can't quite see the difference.
It is a listing of all the words in the help, that is pretty
much what any search is although they do vary in their ability to
deal with multiple words and so on.
RH has a default Stop list and you can add to that. Click
File | Project Settings and then click the Advanced button. You
will see a list of excluded words that you can add to. That is the
approach rather than hacking the list produced when you generate
the help.

SQLLDR ignoring carriage returns

Can SQLLDR ignore carriage returns? I am trying to load records
from Access to Oracle. The columns I am loading contain content
for displaying on the web (Text inter-mixed with HTML code).
Because these columns were created/updated via a web interface,
they contain a lot of carriage returns. The problem I am having
in SQLLDR is when it sees a carriage return, it thinks it is a
new record. Can I prevent this without manually removing the
carriage returns in the Access records?

Hi William,
The Workbench should help you since it uses the following SQL
Loader syntax :-
"str '<er>'" specifies that the end of record delimiter is <er>.
This means carriage returns will be preserved. Also <ec> is the
end of column delimiter.
load data
infile 'AUTHORS.dat' "str '<er>'"
into table AUTHORS
fields terminated by '<ec>'
(AU_ID ,
AU_LNAME ,
AU_FNAME ,
PHONE ,
ADDRESS ,
CITY ,
STATE ,
ZIP ,
CONTRACT )

Dreamweaver moves my carriage returns?

Dreamweaver seems to be moving my carriage returns. When I put paragraph text inside a span, I usually put a carriage return (i.e. hit "Enter") before and after the span tags so that they are easy to see/find in the file, and are aligned. If I open up the file in a text editor, it appears as I typed it, but in Dreamweaver the carriage return displays in a different place than where I put it. And word wrap is not on.
Example, as typed and saved:
text text text text text text text text text text
<span class="highlight">This is an example</span>
text text text text text text text text text text
As displayed in Dreamweaver the next time I open the file:
text text text text text text text text text text <span class="highlight">This
is an example</span>text text text text text text text text text text
In DW I will go back in and "fix" everything, only to have to messed up again the next time I open the file.
Can anyone help with this? Thanks.

Losing carriage returns in textarea / using plpdf to generate report

Hello,
I'm using Apex 3.1.1 and Oracle 10g database. I would appreciate any suggestions on how I can preserve carriage returns in a textarea when sending the text to a package that generates a report. Please see example of current problem (below code). I'm using an onkeypress function to check for keycode = 13 when the Enter key is pressed -- that is working. I also created an alert to show the url value -- I can see the text on multiple lines, so that appears to be working as well. The textarea value parameter in the package is defined as varchar2. Per the support folks at plpdf.com, chr(13) indicates an explicit line break, and they told me to check my text. I don't know what I'm missing. Thank you for any suggestions you may have.
Lisa
function callPLPDFRep()

      w = open(url, "winPDFRep", "Scrollbars=1, resizable=1, width=800, height=600");
      if (w.opener == null)
        w.opener = self;
        w.focus();
   function build_params()
    var lparms;
    lparms = '';
    lparms = lparms + '&p_incorrect=' + $x('P212_INCORRECT').value;
    lparms = lparms + '&p_correct=' + $x('P212_CORRECT').value;
    return lparms;
}Text in textarea:
035 5768 06/15/2010
035 5768 06/16/2010
035 5768 06/17/2010

035 5768 06/15/2010035 5768 06/16/2010035 5768 06/17/2010

Hello Michael,
Thank you for your response. After doing some researching and experimenting, here's what I have found so far.
First, using an onkeypress function to alert the keycode, a chr(13) is being returned when I press the Enter key in the textarea.
function check_Enter(e)
    var keynum;
    var textval = $x('P212_INCORRECT').value;
    if(document.all)
      keynum = e.keyCode
    else
      keynum = e.which
    alert(keynum);
}Next, when I access the value of the textarea via javascript with $x('P212_INCORRECT').value, the chr(13) is automatically converted to the newline character (\n). In an attempt to replace the \n with a \r so plpdf will recognize the carriage return, I added a javascript replace function before sending the text to the package, and it does not work.
function build_params()
    var lparms;
    lparms = '';
    lparms = lparms + '&p_incorrect=' + $x('P212_INCORRECT').value;
    lparms = lparms + '&p_correct=' + $x('P212_CORRECT').value;
    alert(lparms.split(/\n/g).length - 1); // confirm that a newline character is found
    lparms = lparms.replace( new RegExp( "\n", "g" ), "\r"); // replace newline character with carriage return
    return lparms;
}When I tried to replace the newline character (\n) with chr(13), the chr(13) is printed out like it is text instead of a special character. In order to test that I have the correct syntax for the replace function in javascript, I tried replacing \n with '...', and then in the package that generates the PDF, I replaced the '...' with chr(13). That works!
In response to your comment about the PLPDF procedure for multi line section, I am using: plpdf.PrintMultiLineCell(180, 6, l_incorrect, '0', 0). As a newbie to javascript, I am not sure why replacing \n with \r is not working. Can you advise how to use a chr(13) in the javascript replace function and have it recognized as a special character and not text? I don't know how to view special characters in the textarea other than checking for them with javascript.
Thanks, Lisa

Sure, sending a BEL character to the console rings the bell, but that has nothing to do with Java. Anyway, I think he meant Java doesn't support the \a escape sequence in string and char literals.

Ah, I thought he was saying Java doesn't support ringing the bell.

Please explain me how I can use Form feed(\f) and Carriage return(\r)

what is Form feed(\f) and Carriage return(\r)?
Please explain to me.
Thank you.

These control characters aren't used much these days except that if you example a Windows or MSDOS text file in a binary editor you'll find each line ends with "\r\n". However when reading or writing text through classes these carriage returns will be added and removed automatically so your program doesn't see them.
The controlls date back to teletype machines which operated rather like typewriters. Cariage return, as it's name implied, caused the print head to move back to the start of the line, line feed advanced a line (without, necessarilly, returning the carriage) and formfeed skipped to the next page.
Newline on these machines was always "return, linefeed" because executing the carriage return on these machine could take too long. The early machines had only a single character buffer so that they had to executed the characters as quickly as they arrived. So doing the linefeed after the carriage return gave the carriage more time to return. On some teletypes if you did "linefeed, return" then the first character of the new line would often be printed somewhere in the middle of the line.
This is the origin of the MSDOS/Windows end of line sequence.
Many printers will still respect formfeed if printing is direct. Some will take carriage return without linefeed to allow you to start again overprinting the same line.
However printing, these days, is seldom direct but done in bitmap form.

On Windows 8.1 and Firefox 36.0.1 the textarea in forms has no carriage returns. Earlier versions the forms work. Is there a fix for this?

Prior to this version of Firefox 36.0.1, the <textarea> in my HTML forms was working; displaying carriage returns. In version 36.0.1 they no longer function properly. Instead when I enter a carriage return, it displays a space instead of a newline. I went to the most basic textarea testing
<textarea> name="comments" cols=20 rows=10 </textarea>
to make sure I wasn't introducing anything with other languages.
I am using Windows 8.1 Pro. I rolled back to Firefox 35.0 and everything works fine. I install 36.0.1 and it stops working.
I have access to another Laptop also running the same version of windows and Firefox and it appears to be doing strange things as well. I am suspicious in that I started noticing this immediately after a windows upgrade last night. The laptop also experienced the issues it is having immediately after a windows update yesterday evening.
I have yet another PC running a different version of windows and Firefox and it too works fine. It looks like the issue is where there is windows 8.1 Pro and Firefox 36.0.1.
Do you guys have any idea what is going on here?
Thanks

The current release supports the white-space property for a text area and it is possible that the website uses white-space: pre instead of white-space: pre-wrap.
The former will prevent Firefox from wrapping the text.
You can check that in the Inspector via the right-click context menu.
*https://developer.mozilla.org/Tools/Page_Inspector
See:
*https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox/Releases/36#CSS
<blockquote>The white-space property is now working on <textarea> HTML elements (bug 82711).</blockquote>
