Change a link with Image Swap?

Okay so far I have my website designed. Here is what I have so far...
... I have successfully managed to have all the thumbnails keep their rollover behaviors while also making the main image change whenever any of the thumbnails are clicked. So that takes care of the main image problem. Now I need to find a way to get the "click image for larger" action to work. The problem I have is that in Dreamweaver CS3 the main image stays put. It is sort of the anchor that holds the Image Swap behavior in place. So in a web browser if anyone were to actually click on that main image it would not open a new browser window that is specific to the new main image they see. No matter what the main image switched to, if anyone clicked on it, the new browser would always open a window for the big PEARL STREET GYM flier.
I am wondering if there is a way to get the main image link to swap along with the image so that the new browser window will also follow along with the coinciding main image that is shown. Is there a way to do this (without using spry)?
(the reason I don't want to use spry is because I am still learning and so far spry just confuses the hell out of me. I'm sure I'll learn it one day... but just not right now)

if anyone reads this... turns out this can be done with the Set Text behavior.
Basically, you make your "click here for larger image" text and apply the Open Browser Window behavior.
Then with the text highlighted you go to Code View and copy the code that makes this behavior function.
Then you redo these steps for all the thumbnails you have. In my case I have 8 thumbnails so I need to adjust the Open Browser Window 8 times, one time for each of the large pictures i want to pop open, copying the code for each and pasting each code into a blank word document for later.
Then you clear this behavior and click on the container that is holding your "click here for larger" text. Give this container an ID in the attributes panel.
Okay so now you click on the first thumbnail you want to use. Give that thumbnail a Set Text in Container behavior. Direct the drop down menu to the container ID you just applied. Then in the new HTML box copy and paste the code you copied from the Open Browser Window behavior.
Go through each of your thumbnails and repeat these steps, being sure to paste in the correct Open Browser Window code for each thumbnail.
After you get done with adding all of your Set Text behaviors preview your site in a web browser. When you click on any thumbnail the "click for larger" text should look the same but when you click on the text your browser should pop open a new window that matches the corresponding thumbnail. (unless i left out a step here)
it isn't exactly what i was looking for when i asked if there was a way to make the image itself clickable. but the small line of text under the image working as a link accomplishes the same task.

Why does the color red change from working with images in develop to library? The color gets lighter and nothing shows a change on histogram but visually you can see it.

Why does the color red change from working with images in develop to library? The color gets lighter and nothing shows a change on histogram but visually you can see it.

That's probably a broken display profile. The conversion from Library's Adobe RGB is different than the conversion from Develop's linear ProPhoto, so if there's a problem with the display profile it can show up this way.
Recalibrate, or if you don't have a calibrator use sRGB. If your monitor is a wide gamut model use Adobe RGB.
Assuming Windows, change it in Control Panel > Color Management > Devices, and relaunch Lightroom so that it can pick up the new profile at startup:

Drop down menu with image swap

I have a drop down menu that I need some help with. The page is here: http://www.healthquestpt.com/lwh/
The default menu as you see it is the way I want it: gray tab background, white text that is centered on the image. What I want to make happen with it is when you mouseover the link to have the image swap from: to: and I want the text in this "tab" to remain centered and change to blue
For the dropped down links I just want a plain white background, the links to be aligned left and the default color to be blue. I want the text hover color to be gray.
Ive tried various things and I cant seem to figure how to get style attributes assigned correctly.
All help is GREATLY appreciated!!!
My css file is here: http://www.healthquestpt.com/lwh/styles.css
and the dropdownmenu.js file is here: http://www.healthquestpt.com/lwh/scripts/dropdownmenu.js
P.S. I'm using DW CS6

You might want to try out the Spry menus which ship with Dreamweaver.
Below is the code for the menu BUT you'll have to make sure the SpryMenuBar.js file is in your site folder for the sub-menus to work.
Best way of doing that is to open a blank page. Go to Insert>Spry>Spry Menu Bar>Horizontal>save page which will create a folder named SpryAssets into your site folder. Open up the SpryAssets folder and delete the file - SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css
Copy and save code below into a new Dreamweaver document and save it to your side folder. Run it via a browser.

Promoted links with Image Carousel (Rotating Banner)

Hi,
I am using promoted links webpart. I want to have cycle of images. For eg: I have 10 images . With the slider , I can go to next image horizontally. Once I reach the 10th image,there won't be any next option. I want to display the 1st image after
the 10th. Means, the sliding should be never ending. How can I achieve this. I think I can use javascript to override the default promoted links functionality. Please suggest on how to do this. Thank you

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to achieve rotating banner for promoted links web part.
With JavaScript, it will be easier to implement such a web part.
Here are two links with code demos for your reference:
http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/667584/Image-Rotator-in-JavaScript
http://jsfiddle.net/jtbowden/UNZR5/1/
You can also take use of these jQuery image plugins in your project:

Creating null links for image swap

I have this problem with Internet Explorer 6 for PC which
moves the webpage to the top of the browser whenever the swap image
ref is clicked. It will do this if the link is set to #, if it is
set to javascript:; then IE wont display the image which I think
has something to do with preloading. SO, does anyone know another
null link style I could use. I'm working in Dreamweaver CS3 for
Mac.

Show us your code, and I'll show you how to fix it.

Why is Firefox freezing when clicking items in an online grocery flyer...the screen changes to gray with image in back ground and then freezes

When clicking on an item on a grocery flyer online..the item does not pop up and the browser freezes with a gray overtone.
In the iamge I clicked on the normal window on Delissio pizza and a small window shopuld have popped up with deatils on the sale of the product...instead the screed turns gray(normal)...but no popup and the browser freezes

HI kidronatics,
The pop up sounds like there is an issue with a script loading in Firefox. However in order to troubleshoot the freezing try:

BG image swap won't work - any ideas why not?

http://designerandpublisher.com/test-bg/test-bg-page01.html
Hi - I'm trying to set up a background image swap where when the user is viewing the site and clicking on links, the background image will change. You'll see the soldier one there now and I have others.
The JS file the 2 HTML pages are linked to doesn't seem to be working [see above].
Any ideas why it's not working, or is there a better JS file anyone may be aware of that does what I'm looking for?
Thanks - Deaf Guy

Hello - I wanted to post an update on this topic and am wondering if someone can still help me. I figured out a way to make background images change on refresh. You can see it here:
http://designerandpublisher.com/test-bg/index.html
I added a piece of JS to make the wrapper images change. Although the image swap works now, this is really not a true background image swap because it is not swapping images in the body tag. What I'd really like to do now is go into the body tag and somehow point it toward this JS code so that when the page is refreshed, it will pick up the image swap array. I'm not sure if this is possible though.
Is there a way to do this?
Thanks - Deaf Guy

Help with Editable Regions and Image Swap

I need some assistance for a project I am working on, and I don't know a short way to describe. Hang with me, here it goes....
I am working with the sites 'Navigation' links. I want to use a MouseOver behavior so that the image swaps when moused over. I want the MousedOver image to remain when you are on that page. I can manually make this happen, but I am running into difficulty because I want the Navigation to be located in an un-editable region so when I add new pages, the entire site will update as I make changes to the template.
I don't know how to create this effect without manually swapping all the images via behaviors on each and every page, and when I need to do these edits, the region needs to be in an UnEditable region so that the template will update all the pages.
I guess the question is, how can I customize images from page to page in an Un-Editable region in a Template driven page?
Thanks.

Image swaps are clumsy for navigation because you have to re-craft your menus every time you edit your site. This gets very old in a hurry.
CSS styled menus are not only easier to maintain in DW they are web friendly for all devices -- especially Smartphones who may have images disabled to save on bandwidth charges.
DW comes with Spry Menus which you can customize with CSS
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/samples/menubar/MenuBarSample.html
Additionally, there are some excellent DW extensions you can use to build professional looking CSS menus in seconds.

Can't change a linked image???

I have a lot left to learn in Dreamweaver but linking images I've done alot, I hope someone can help me on what I'm doing wrong. The linked image won't let me change links. Here is the home page http://kmmcement.com/. The bottom right picture under click to view slideshow is linked to slideshow.html. I changed the slideshow and named the new one ss.html. When I right click the picture and choose Change Link and select my new ss.html, it does not change it in the code. I tried manually to change it in the code and publish, but the new page won't load up (although when I preview the page, it loads fine.)
The only thing I've done differently on this site is that I finally learned to get the bottom navigation links to work without looking jumpy and jittery when clicking or rolling over them, by going to Modify - Page Properties and choosing links and set them up there (basic that I should've learned awhile ago). I didn't do the navigation bar until last, so would that have anything to do with not being able to change the link? If so, then how can I change it to where only the bottom navigation has it's own style as I'm sure there's going to be alot more links I'm going to be adding.
Thank you in advance for any help. (By the way, I'm using Dreamweaver CS3)

Starting on line 215 of your code, you have this:
<tr>
<td height="338"><div align="center">
<p class="style11">CLICK TO VIEW SLIDESHOW!</p>
<p><a href="slideshow.html"><img
src="images/slideshowpic.JPG" width="347" height="223"
border="0"/></a></p>
</div>
</td>
</tr>
Try changing it to this:
<tr>
<td height="338" style="text-align:center">
<p class="style11"><a href="ss.html">CLICK TO VIEW SLIDESHOW!</a></p>
<p><a href="ss.html"><img src="images/slideshowpic.JPG" width="347" height="223" border="0"/></a></p>
</td>
</tr>
Save. Upload page to server along with ss.html page. Hit refresh in your browser.

PDF's with images open with dark (mask) overlay..not true in Explorer...how to change setting?

When browsing in Firefox, some links to PDF's that I open, those with images, open with a dark mask overlay. I have have searched around in the VIEW menu with no luck. This does not happen when I open the same PDF links in Windows Explorer so it must be Firefox setting that I need to change. By the way, I have Adobe Creative Suite 4 installed on my computer.

CSS Image Swap Conundrum Link Rel

Hi. I apologise in advance for the length of the post. It's probably very simple for you, but it's killin' me.
http://jchmusic.com
I've been experimenting with two ideas that are conflicting with one another.
The first is that I wanted to integrate my wordpress-based blog into my site so they look/feel the same. I did this by using a php include in the index page of the blog which reads in the sidemenu of my main site sidemenu.shtml. Seemed to work OK, BUT in order to have the menu look/feel correct it has to read the style sheet from the main site, default.css. So I guess I 'cheated' by adding a <head> statement to sidemenu.shtml like so:
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://jchmusic.com/default.css" type="text/css"/>
</head>
...note that it reads in the full path of the style sheet, since the wordpress blog 'lives' in another folder. (I made various attempts at including the style sheet into the blog as a whole but they were disasters. The selector names and ids conflict and it's a MESS.
As I said that works. Now the second issue:
Also on sidemenu.shtml is the top site graphic JCHMusic. There are actually two graphics, JCHMusic for when the user is at the main page and JCHMusic+themusicofjcharris which displays when the user is at any other page. The 1st is hidden in the default style sheet using display:none. When the user is at the main page, the 2nd graphic is hidden using a local stylesheet which reverses the display property. Works fine.
EXCEPT THAT, there is something about having that extra head in sidemenu.shtml that prevents the image swap from working.
IOW: if I remove those 3 lines from sidemenu.shtml, the image swap occurs as expected. But of course, when I do that, it destroys the look of the menu when the user selects the blog.
Can I have my cake and eat it too?
TIA,
---JC

Parent level pages must contain only one set of the following:
1) Valid Document Type
2) Hhtml tags
3) Head tags
4) Body tags
Server-Side includes are nothing more than snippets of reusable HTML code. Most often we use them for shared page elements such as headers, footers and menus. No great mystery to using them really.
http://forums.adobe.com/message/2112460#2112460
SSIs cannot contain any of the above mentioned HTML tags as they already exist on the parent page. If you put additional <head> tags into your include files, this will result in duplicate <head> tags in the parent page once content is parsed by the server. You don't want this to happen. Incidentally, code errors (even small ones caused by YouTube and Amazon code) can cause browser rendering issues. All code errors can and should be fixed.
Finally, If you want to reference an external stylesheet that is currently outside your WP folder, copy the CSS file to your WP folder and put your external stylesheet link inside the WP Parent page; not in the include file.
Good luck with your project,
Nancy O.

How can I change the apple ID linked with my mac ?

Hi Everyone, I just bought my first MAC, pretty excited and since I am begginer a few questions has arise, hopefully you can help me with this one. When I first start doing the setup since i was in a rush I did not took the time to create a new apple id, so I used my husbands. How can I change that ? Somehow the APPLE ID is linked with his i-phone, so I am receiving all his text thru my mac. How can I change that ? Tks alot

Create your own Apple ID.
https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/wa/createAppleId?loca lang=en_US
In System Preferences > iCloud, Sign out of his account and use your new credentials to sign in.
In the Mac App Store (MAS) you can sign in using different IDs to download applications purchased under the other ID.
Usually the Apple ID is an email that is NOT and iCloud email address. I know... this is confusing. After you create the ID, you can then create your own iCloud email address and two alises if desired.

Is there a good way to automate changing existing links to external PDFs to instead be to PDF attachments with same names?

Greetings!
Can anyone tell me a good way to automate changing a "main" PDF's existing hyperlinks to external PDFs to instead be links to PDF attachments to the main PDF (the attached PDFs to have the same filenames as the external PDFs) ?
Format of current link in main PDF:
Go to a page in another document
File: C:\\path\filename.pdf
Destination name: P:1
When link is manually changed to link to a PDF that has been attached to the main PDF:
Go to a page in another document
File: PDF attachment
Page: 1
Zoom level: Fit page
The new PDF link does not list the PDF attachment filename in the link.
The main PDF (the one that has the links that I would like to automatically change) is generated with the hyperlinks to other PDFs from Adobe FrameMaker 11. In FrameMaker11, we added special marker text "openpage filename.pdf:1" that is "automatically" changed to be hyperlinks to external PDFs when the main PDF is created (postscript file is processed) by Adobe Acrobat Pro 11.
My first choice is to be able to change the format of the special marker text in Adobe FrameMaker source file, but I have not found way to specify a link to be to a PDF attachment with a certain filename.
However, I would also really like the option of running a batch file on a main PDF to change the links there.
Has anyone tried using that Adobe ExtendScript ToolKit CS6 to do this? That is, a script that could automatically modify the hyperlinks in a PDF to link to PDF attachments rather than external PDFs, or else modify the unprocessed links while they are still in Postscript file format, or else modify the marker text in FrameMaker to instead of creating a link to a PDF in the same directory as the main PDF being processed, to create a link to a PDF attachment files?
Thank you,
Judith Wallace

FrameMaker's Hypertext feature has no ability to "link" to an attachment on/in a target PDF.
PDFs sourced from FM can have named destinations set in the FM authoring files such that a link from file01.fm to the specified named destination in file01.fm will be functional in the PDFs created from the FM files.
Then, of course, there's the dynamics possible by use o FM Books. But that's the grist for the mills at the FM user-2-user forum.
RE: Scripting - PDF scripting is via Acrobat JavaScript. That something still of and by Adobe although it may migrate to an ISO Standard (or be rolled up in a future ISO 32000).
So, to the point - look to Acrobat JavaScript for scripting.

Issue opening .AI file with linked/embedded images in Illustrator 6

Received an Illustrator 16.x ai file with 6 Linked\embedded images. Opening in Illustrator 16.0.3 2 images are missing, but opening in Illustrator 15.1 opens them correctly. Illustrator 16.0.3 has warning "Could not find linked file “filename.png”. Choose replace to select another file or Ignore to leave the link unchanged". Illustrator 15.1 has warning "The file “filename.ai” was created by a newer version of Illustrator. Would you like to import this file? Some data loss may occur.". When I open in Photoshop 12.1 and select Images only 4 images show. The two that are missing in ai. are not showing in Photoshop Images option tab, but are in Photoshop when I open the file using pages option tab. Any idea what is happening here and why Illustrator 15.1 opens fine, but Illustrator 16.0.3 cannot?
Thanks, Dale

Illustrator CS5 opens the PDF part of the file. Images are always embedded in that part, but you might not be able to edit all objects in it.
Illustrator CS6 will access the AI part of the file, where linked images are not embedded. You should ask for the images in order to edit the file.
