Confused about CSS or HTML....

Okay... I really don't know much about this stuff, so I'm sorry if this is a dumb question. I'm trying to add drop down menus to my website. When a company (dynamicdrives.com) includes codes for a specific menu that I can edit, should I use the CSS one or HTML one? In iweb, I am clicking on adding an HTML snippet and then putting in the code. So, from those, is there one that will work better in iWeb? Is there even a difference? Do I need both? Is there one that will be compatible with Firefox, IE, and more? I am having trouble getting menus to look good on IE. Thanks!

Content = HTML. Style = CSS. To achieve a 2-column layout, you need both HTML and CSS.
1) Organize your HTML content in a logical manner from top to bottom of page.
2) Style your content with CSS floats and margins to create columns.

Confused about transaction, checkpoint, normal recovery.

After reading the documentation pdf, I start getting confused about it's description.
Rephrased from the paragraph on the transaction pdf:
"When database records are created, modified, or deleted, the modifications are represented in the BTree's leaf nodes. Beyond leaf node changes, database record modifications can also cause changes to other BTree nodes and structures"
"if your writes are transaction-protected, then every time a transaction is committed the leaf nodes(and only leaf nodes) modified by that transaction are written to JE logfiles on disk."
"Normal recovery, then is the process of recreating the entire BTree from the information available in the leaf nodes."
According to the above description, I have following concerns:
1. if I open a new environment and db, insert/modify/delete several million records, and without reopen the environment, then normal recovery is not run. That means, so far, the BTree is not complete? Will that affact the query efficiency? Or even worse, will that output incorrect results?
2. if my above thinking is correct, then every time I finish commiting transactions, I need to let the checkpoint to run in order to recreate the whole BTree. If my above thinking is not correct, then, that means that, I don't need to care about anything, just call transaction.commit(), or db.sync(), and let je to care about all the details.(I hope this is true :>)

http://www.oracle.com/technology/documentation/berkeley-db/je/TransactionGettingStarted/chkpoint.html
Checkpoints are normally performed by the checkpointer background thread, which is always running. Like all background threads, it is managed using the je.properties file. Currently, the only checkpointer property that you may want to manage is je.checkpointer.bytesInterval. This property identifies how much JE's log files can grow before a checkpoint is run. Its value is specified in bytes. Decreasing this value causes the checkpointer thread to run checkpoints more frequently. This will improve the time that it takes to run recovery, but it also increases the system resources (notably, I/O) required by JE.

I am confused about Icloud. I have a 5 year old Macbook, a 2 year old macbook and a 5 year old mac mini. What exactly do I need to do to get all this connected via Icloud. I also have an Iphone 3G. Help please!

I am confused about Icloud. I have a 5 year old Macbook, a 2 year old macbook and a 5 year old mac mini. What exactly do I need to do to get all this connected via Icloud. I also have an Iphone 3G. Help please! Also, I still don't understand exactly what the benefits are. At the moment it seems a lot of hassle to change a system that's been working perfectly well and that I'm very happy with. I'm not at all sure whether the mac mini (1.66 GHz INtel Core Duo) can be brought up to the relevant spec to run ICloud. Any thoughts?

There are two aspects to iCloud. One is simply getting an account, or migrating a mobileme account to iCloud. The second part is using the various features of iCloud to sync contacts, calendars, use music match or photo sharing, and store iWorks documents.
First to get an iCloud account:
If you have a mobileme account, you can migrate by simply logging onto www.icloud.com (ignore any references to Lion and just click through to complete the migration). If you have OS X Lion or an iOS 5 mobile device, you can create an iCloud account on that device using any valid AppleID.
Once you have an account, you can use JUST the mail account if you wishi - it is a standard IMAP account so you would set it up like any other IMAP email account you have, in whatever client program you use to read email.
To use the OTHER feautes of iCloud, your computers will have to be running OS X Lion (10.7). Your iPhone 3G will never be able to use iCloud as it cannot run iOS 5 (you need a min. of an iPhone 3GS to run iOS 5).
The requirements for OS X Lion are here - http://www.apple.com/macosx/specs.html You need a min. of a Core 2 duo processor so you mini is not capable of running Lion.
So, in your case, the single reasons for iCloud would be if you have a mobileme account, then use the online www.icloud.com to migrate your account so you do not lose your @me.com email address. You can use iCloud email (without using any other iCloud features) by setting it up as IMAP mail with these settings - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4864
If you want an iCloud account and do NOT already have a mobileme account, you will need to upgrade one machine at least to Lion in order to be able to create an iCloud account.

Confused about different calendars

I have a Macbook Pro, an iPhone 5, and an original iPad.
I am confused about the purpose of the different Calendars: Home, Calendar, iCloud, and Calendar([email protected]).
Also listings on my iPad "Show Calendars" : From My Mac, cal.me.com, and [email protected]
I am retired and have no work commitments so I just need one calendar that I can access and put events in from all 3 devices and can see them on all 3 devices.
I find that if I put events in from my Macbook, they show up on both ioS devices, but if I put an event in on my iPad, it does not show up on my Macbook regardless on which Calendar I enter it on.
Is there somewhere I can find in simple terms which calendar I can use on all 3 devices and delete the others?
Thank you.

Hi,
Macworld has a great article on multiple apple ID's and imatch. Here's the link: hope it helps.

New bie confused about linking different things BP and org struc

Dear Experts,
It might sound very silly question but as a fresher to a functional module i am bit confused about all the different concepts.
1. How actually we start a CRM implementation like after blue printing what are the activities we first start
like do we first config master data and then org structure and then activities.
what is the inter linking between these three , i have read CR100, after reading that i am not able to link each one of them like which one is first.
And last but not least please kindly guide me how to practise the config.
thanks and regards

I'm horribly confused about student licensing and commercial use

As the title says I'm horribly confused about student licensing and using it for commercial use.
I currently have a Student Licensing version of Adobe Creative Suite 4 that I purchased through my school's journeyEd portal.
Seeing how CS5 is now out I was browsing looking at prices (why not upgrade while I'm still a student, right?) and while browsing I bumped into one source that says that Student Licensing can not be used for commercial purposes, and this is when the confusion started. I remember reading before that we are able to use student licensing for commercial purposes, okay time to google search. I found one Adobe FAQ that says I can. .
http://www.adobe.com/education/students/studentteacheredition/faq.html
" Can I use my Adobe Student and Teacher Edition software for commercial use?
Yes. You may purchase a Student and Teacher Edition for personal as well as commercial use. "
and I found this old thread;
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/314304
Where an poster listed as an employee of Adobe states
"There is no upgrade from the CS3 Educational Edition to the comparable CS3 editions sold in non-academic environments. If you have an educational version of for CS3 obtained legitimately (i.e., you qualified for the educational version when you obtained it), you may continue to use that software for the indefinite future, even for commercial use! You cannot sell or otherwise transfer that license, though! When the next version of the Creative Suite is released, you will have two choices: (1) If you still qualify for the educational version, you can buy a copy of that next version (there is no special upgrade pricing from one educational version to another; the price is already very low) or (2) you can upgrade from the educational version of CS3 to the full version of the next version of the Creative Suite as an upgrade from CS3 at the prices published at that time. "
Okay cool, hmm what this? Adobe is asking me if I want to IM with live costumer service agent, sure why not? Then the conversation started and I asked her my question about using my CS4 license for commercial use, she asks for my product code and email to verify my product, then informs me I can purchase the upgrade version of CS5 and use that for commercial, okay great, but not really answering my question. I reword it and give her a link to that FAQ page it goes like this. ..
"[CS Rep] : [My name], I would like to inform you that Adobe Student and Teacher Editions are not allowed for
commercial use.
[CS Rep] : However, you can upgrade your current software to a normal upgrade version, and you can continue
using it for commercial purpose.
[Me] : Then is the FAQ page mistaken? Because it is very misleading if it is. But thank you for the information.
[CS Rep] : You are welcome.
[CS Rep] : I apologize for the misleading information in the FAQ."
. .And after that, I went back to being confused.
SO my questions are. . . Can I or can't I use my Adobe Creative Suite 4 student licensing for commercial purposes? and If I purchase a Student Licensing of CS5 can I use that for commercial purposes as well?
Sorry for the long post, I just want to be perfectly clear on what I can and can not do with my purchase.

The rules differ in various parts of the world. In North America you can use it for commercial work.
There are no student/academic upgrades. The pricing is so low that in many cases you're better off buying another full student license but you are eligible for upgrade pricing for commercial versions once you're out of school.
You may not transfer the student license in any way.

Confused about capability of extensions

Hi,
I'm a bit confused about what extensions are used for. I've
never used any, and can't seem to figure out what they're for
besides copy-paste.
I looked at dreamweavers help file about creating extensions,
but all it does is allow you to make a code block that can be
inserted at a click of a button.
Is there a way that you can make extensions that actually ADD
options to dreamweaver menus? Like when a user right clicks
somewhere, or something like that? Like if the user clicks anywhere
a link to go to google.com is on the menu or something, thats
simple.
What I want is to build a window that is an extension. You
can find what I am attempting to accomplish at:
Here
What can you do with extensions? Can you actually add onto
dreamweavers product?

Dreamweaver creates a local copy of menus.xml that overrides
the copy in

Yes, look up Floating Panels in the Extending Dreamweaver

Check the DW API reference in the help menu. Almost every API

Check the

Confused about the instructions for installing MySQL on my OS X client

I installed MySQL for OS X as recommended here:
http://developer.apple.com/internet/opensource/osdb.html
it looks like I managed to created a test database in the mysql directory, but now can't access it.
Basically, I'm confused about what to do after installing the MySQL server about setting permissions, getting databases to be where I want them to be, etc.
I tried download phpMyAdmin, since I am used to using that via cPanel on my ISP, but don't know how to use it on my Mac. Do I need to start up Apache to do that? And if I do that, won't it interfere with the mongrel server that I'm trying to use in the separate Ruby on Rails instructions?
I guess I could probably do all my development online via my ISP, which supports Ruby on Rails and where it is easy to set up MySQL databases, but if I could just figure out how to use MySQL on my Mac it would be fun to try to do this development offline.
Any hints?
Thanks,
doug

Have you done anything past those instructions? like creating MySQL user accounts, granting permissions, etc?
There's a whole lot more to running MySQL that just installing it (and I'm not sure why Apple suggest building from scratch when MySQL offer binary distributions which do all the hard work for you.
Once installed you should follow the MySQL Post Install Instructions for guidance on setting up accounts and configuring MySQL.
As for the PHPMyAdmin question, yes, you'll need Apache running. Whether that will conflict with any other web services you're running depends on how they're configured. I've never heard of mongrel to be able to advise further there.

Confusion about applet

sir
i have confusion about applet that if an applet compile successfully but on running it shows a exception message about "main"that no such method exist.help me out please

The full text of the error message would make it easier for us to see what is wrong BUT it sounds like you are trying to run the Applet as an applicaiton from the comand line rather than through an HTML tag in an HTML page loaded into your browser!
Though you can make Applets run as applications it not normal to do so.

I am confused about something. How do I read a book on my MacBook Pro? I can't find the iBook app anywhere, which is what I use on my iPad. The book I want to read is in my iTunes but I can't click on it. My iBook library does not show up in iTunes.

I am confused about something. How do I read a book on my MacBook Pro? I can't find the iBook app anywhere, which is what I use on my iPad. The book I want to read is in my iTunes but I can't click on it. Some of my iBooks show up in my iTunes but they are "grayed" out. The only books that respond in iTunes are audiobooks and that's not what I'm looking for. Is this a stupid question?

Nevermind - I answered my own question, which is I CAN"T READ ANY BOOKS I purchased in iBooks on my MacBook Pro. If I want to read on my mac I have to use Kindle or Nook. Which means any book I've already purchased through iBooks has to be read on my iPad. Kind of a drag because there are times when it's more convenient for me to read while I'm sitting with my Mac.

Confuse about the injecting entity in EJB 3.0?

Hi all,
I have an customersBean which is inherit from customersRemote and my problem is i' am little confuse about injecting the entity(customer).
Where can you apply the EntityManagerFactory is it outside on EJB or Inside the EJB? means outside EJB is use the web application or java application. i have and example.
this is inside on EJB...............
public class CustomersBean implements com.savingsaccount.session.CustomersRemote {
@PersistenceContext(unitName="SavingAccounts")
EntityManagerFactory emf;
EntityManager em;
/** Creates a new instance of CustomersBean */
public CustomersBean() {
public void create(int id, String name, String address, String telno, String mobileno)
try{
//This is the entity.
Customer _customer = new Customer();
_customer.setId(id);
_customer.setName(name.toString());
_customer.setAddress(address.toString());
_customer.setTelno(telno.toString());
_customer.setMobileno(mobileno.toString());
em = emf.createEntityManager();
em.persist(_customer);
emf.close();
}catch(Exception ex){
throw new EJBException(ex.toString());
in web application, i'm using the @EJB in customer servlets.
public class CustomerProcessServlet extends HttpServlet {

Confused about logical table source

Hi,
I'm confused about logical table source(LTS), there are 'General', 'Column Mapping', 'Content' tabs in
LTS, in General tab ,there are some information,like 'Map to there tables' and 'joins',
just here, we have created relationships in physical layer and BMM layer, so I would like to ask what's the use of the 'joins' here?

Hi Alpha,
Valid query, when you establish a complex join it is always between a logical fact and dimension table.Consider a scenario,
Example:w_person_dx is an extension table not directly joined to a fact but joins to a dimension w_person_d.
When you model the person_d tables in BMM, you ll have a single logical table with w_person_d as source.If you have to pull columns from both w_person_d and w_person_dx tables in a report, you add dx table as inner join to persond table in the general tab.Now when you check your physical query, you can see the inner join fired between the two dimensions.
Rgds,
Dpka

Confused about extending the Sprite class

Howdy --
I'm learning object oriented programming with ActionScript and am confused about the Sprite class and OO in general.
My understanding is that the Sprite class allows you to group a set of objects together so that you can manipulate all of the objects simultaneously.
I've been exploring the Open Flash Chart code and notice that the main class extends the Sprite class:
public class Base extends Sprite {
What does this enable you to do?
Also, on a related note, how do I draw, say, a line once I've extended it?
Without extending Sprite I could write:
var graphContainer:Sprite = new Sprite();
var newLine:Graphics = graphContainer.graphics;
And it would work fine. Once I extend the Sprite class, I'm lost. How do I modify that code so that it still draws a line? I tried:
var newLine:Graphics = this.graphics;
My understanding is that since I'm extending the Sprite class, I should still be able to call its graphics method (or property? I have no idea). But, it yells at me, saying "1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: Graphics.

Thanks -- that helped get rid of the error, I really appreciate it.
Alas, I am still confused about the extended Sprite class.
Here's my code so far. I want to draw an x-axis:
package charts {
    import flash.display.Sprite;
    import flash.display.Graphics;
    public class Chart extends Sprite {
        // Attributes
        public var chartName:String;
        // Constructor
        public function Chart(width:Number, height:Number) {
            this.width = width;
            this.height = height;
        // Methods
        public function render() {
            drawAxis();
        public function drawAxis() {
            var newLine:Graphics = this.graphics;
            newLine.lineStyle(1, 0x000000);
            newLine.moveTo(0, 100);
            newLine.lineTo(100, 100);
I instantiate Chart by saying var myChart:Chart = new Chart(); then I say myChart.render(); hoping that it will draw the axis, but nothing happens.
I know I need the addChild method somewhere in here but I can't figure out where or what the parameter is, which goes back to my confusion regarding the extended Sprite class.
I'll get this eventually =)

Confused about CSS or HTML....
