Creating a page - the best way to do it

Hi, I have used frontpage in the past and this weekend I
started learning how to use dreamweaver because it is much more
advanced. I was wondering how to format my page? I started using
cells, but had some problems, then I learned that it is a rather
old method so I started learning to use tables. Now today I see
that it isnt the best way to go ethere; because it will limit my
search engine hits (I understand if i have a page called
www.mysite.com/page; if I have a table then the content will be on
www.mysite.com/tablemain however that page is within the /page
directory.
So now I am just confused- what is the best method to make a
page? also I saw that it is ok to make a table for the navigation
bar, however if I do that I would have my nav. bar in one table,
but my main content would still be in another table..... wouldnt
this be bad?
any sugestions? my site is located here www.drcelly.com I
dont khow why it created another mini frame when I rezized the body
frame thogh- I had to resize it or it would be off range (text
extended beyond the banner).
Help! thanks anyone

This is very confused.
A cell is in a table. So there would be no difference between
using cells
and using tables for your page. You are, however, correct
that neither of
these are the generally optimal way to approach your layout.
The last two
sentences of the paragraph above, though, are complete
gibberish - I don't
know where you are getting this from.
Do yourself a favor (if you are serious about this). Take a
break from DW,
and spend some time learning HTML and CSS. The more you know
about them,
the easier DW will become, and the more distance you can put
between
yourself and FP's wizard-based approach to web sites.

What is the best way to create Aperture book from Pages '09 document?

What is the best way to create Aperture book from Pages '09 document?

There is no way to import pages documents to Aperture and convert them to an Aperture book. Aperture books can only be created by manually adding images and text to the pages of a book, and using the layout of the predefined templates.
The best you could do, would be to print your pages document to pdf and import the resulting pdf file into Aperture as a new project. This will create one image for each page. Then select the page images all at once and create a new book. Select a theme with fullsize page images, like "picture Book", and then add the images of the pages to the empty pages of the book.
But probably would you get a much better quality and layout, when you recreate your pages document in Aperture, by starting with an empty book and copying and pasting the text from your Pages document. But don't paste the photos from the document - try to use the originals of those photos.

What is the best way to import a graphic? & How do I create a text frame for a figure caption?

Hello all! I've been working from the FM book for almost 2 hrs trying to figure this out, so now I need your help. I am almost to this point:
Problem I: Importing a graphic
First of all, which is the best way?
-Insert an anchor frame and then import the graphic into the frame OR
-Just insert the graphic and get the anchor frame by default
Here’s my importing and sizing problem:
I hit ENTER to make a new paragraph line (side note: the book says make a new paragraph by hitting ENTER, import the graphic, and then ESC m+p to shrink wrap so that you can avoid the graphic overlapping the above text. I do exactly this (I believe), but my graphic still overlaps the above text when I shrink wrap. What the...?)
I insert an anchored frame with position Below Current Line and alignment CENTER (I chose to the insert anchor frame, since this way I have control over its alignment, correct?)
Anchor frame is selected when I import my image file
In the Imported Graphic Scaling box, what do I select if my file is HUGE (3072x2304)?
-Fit in selected rectangle (when I choose this the image imports small and fits in the anchored frame with lots of white space around it)
-72 dpi
-75 dpi
-150 dpi
-300 dpi
-Custom dpi: 96 (I’ve tried changing this to a smaller number (20) and I get a message that says “cannot handle a bitmap of that size.”)
I’ve had the best luck with selecting FIT IN SELECTED RECTANGLE, and then I just scale the image with my shift+click. If I choose 72 dpi or Custom, my image imports HUGE, and I just can’t manage it. I don’t have a method for resizing these images outside of FM.
Problem II: Creating a text frame for a caption
Once I have chosen FIT IN SELECTED RECTANGLE, I try to insert a text box underneath the image (and inside the anchor frame) to type a caption in it.
In Create New Text Frame box, the default is Number 1 and Gap 0.25. I click SET.
Next, I double-click inside the text frame to begin typing, but the cursor is OUTSIDE and UNDERNEATH the text frame! What the heck??? I’ve done this before and it has worked just fine. Then I had another problem where when I did get the text inside the text frame, I would select the text frame to move it, and it left the text behind! (I moved the frame but the text was separated from it and left behind.)
THANK YOU in advance for your help. I hope I wrote this out clearly enough. I appreciate those who respond. P.S. I'm in FM 10.

My favorite method is to use a one-cell table for graphics and captions.
Import the graphic by reference into the table cell. Create a "Caption"
paragraph tag and assign it to the table title. (The title can be set
for above or below the table cell. I prefer below.) Now, whenever you
insert this table, it will be ready for graphic and caption. Another
advantage of this method is that graphic and caption always stay
together at page/column breaks.
When you create the table format above, assign it to have a -2.0 space
above. Then, create a paragraph tag, such as "TableAnchor" and assign it
-2.0 pt font size and -2.0 space below. (You can substitute a different
point size, but it must be the same in all three places. The TableAnchor
paragraph will hold the table and these settings let tables fit against
the top margin where necessary. Otherwise, they dip down a bit.
I wrote this from memory, so I hope I remembered all the steps!

What is the best way to create a photo gallery?

Hi,
I want to create a photo gallery in Dreamweaver without using any pre-built "web gallery" function. What's the best way to swap the images when I click the "next" button? Do I create a new Dreamweaver page for each photograph? Is there a more efficient way to do it than that?
Thanks,
Gordon

What's the best way to save an 8.5 x 11 image for use as a page background in a PDF?

What's the best way to save an 8.5 x 11 image for use as a page background in a PDF? My goal is to have a relatively small final .pdf file size that includes numerous pages with full 8.5 x 11 images as backgrounds in the document. If I save at 8.5 x 11 and 72dpi (example), the image is not 8.5 x 11, and the quality is not good enough. I need help with size, dpi, and file format to save as before I place it in InDesign and then save as a .pdf.
Thanks,
Jim

Do exactly what I said then. Create the InDesign document of the required dimension, and chose whether it will be high quality print, or Interactive PDF. It really doesn't mater what format you bring the image into that document. It can be JPG, PNG, but I usually use native Photoshop PSD. The image does have to be of high enough resolution, but it can be many times bigger than iis required for the final export. (InDesign does not import the image, but rather references it on your hard drive.)
When you have placed your text and finished your page, then export it to PDF, but go through the tabs chosing suitable settings. If the image needs to be downsized, InDesign will do that at this stage while building the PDF.
If you can tell us how this presentation will be made (Projector, overhead projector, printed page etc. or just emailed to the end users) we can help you more with the final output settings.

What is the best way to create a Flash site

Hello Everyone,
I am realtively new to flash. I created the splash page of
our site in flash but 1st off it takes to long to load as it is.
But I would like to create the entire site in Flash. What is the
best way to create a Flash site, and are there tutorials out there
or any really good books, resources, or online classes to learn
Flash well. I understand the basic of flash and have created
banners, and other flash materials.
Can anyone help?

For me, as a noob, It's all about creative problem solving.
For lots of stuff, there's no right or wrong solution, but you have
to figure things out on your own. I, too, have built sites from the
ground up, and then rebuilt them even better. It's the only way to
really learn it well. Books, online forums, help docs all sort of
help, but it all comes down to how innovative you can be with
integrating them all into a site that is completely yours.
This might save you loads of headaches: avoid using scenes,
unless you are doing only animation. Keep each of your 'pages' on
their own keyframe, and use 'gotoAndStop' to navigate through them.
This is perhaps the easiest way to create a website quickly.

Since I believe you can't create a Photo album (book) in Apperature, what is the best way to transfer my pictures from my Apperature Library to iPhoto without loosing any picture quality?

Since I believe you can't create a Photo Album (Book) in Apperature, what is the best way to transfer my pictures from my Apperature Library to iPhoto (in order to create my book) without loosing any picture quality ?

Since I believe you can't create a Photo Album (Book) in Apperature, what is the best way to transfer my pictures from my Apperature Library to iPhoto (in order to create my book) without loosing any picture quality ?
Why do you think that? You can create printed Books in Aperture with similar themes as in iPhoto, and with more options to create custom themes on your own.
See this page - http://www.apple.com/aperture/what-is.html - scroll down to see the example books.
But if you prefer the iPhoto themes and layout, you can open your Aperture library in iPhoto, if you have both the current version of iPhoto and Aperture. Simply use the command "File > Open Library in iPhoto" and you can create your book in iPhoto.
And switch back to Aperture by using the command "File > Open Library in Aperture".

What is the best way to create videos for my website?

Hi,
I'm a public speaking coach in Sydeny Australia. I've started a blog and want to include videos to my newsletter subscribers. I do not want to use YouTube, because I want to only share these videos to people on my list.
What is the best way / program to create good videos for my customers? I think I might need to upload these videos to my server and only share the links...? Any suggestions welcome.
Thank you
Trevor Ambrose
http://www.changingtools.com

Trevor:
This may be more information than you asked for, but here goes:
Get a Samsung S10 Video camera (under $400) and a Zoom H4n Professional audio recorder. Get Adobe Production Premium CS5. The camera shoots 1920 x 1080 square pixel in a better quality than a $6000 Panasonic P2 from 4 years ago. The downside, the audio from the Samsung is poor. That's why I recommend the Zoom H4n. On the Premiere timeline, you simply align the waveform of the video with the higher quality wave from the H4n. You can buy a medium sized fold up greenscreen and place any background behind your talent. CS5 has Ultra built in, so you can easily key out the green right on the Premiere timeline revealing a nice background of your choice.
I would design a web page based upon your current website's look and feel that will be a template for your videos. You export your finished video from the Premiere timeline as an f4v. I would recommend 16x9 widescreen and use the Flash preset of "Web Large Widescreen". You can also specify a "Fullscreen" button on the video's controller. The quality is so good that the video will look good even when your client watches it full screen. You import the video into Flash CS5 using the same document dimensions as your video size. You create a Flash template and "Publish" your Flash movie TO your template. Then all that is necessary is to upload all of the associated Web ready files to your server via FTP or Dreamweaver. This workflow streamlines the process and saves hours of fiddling around.
As far as the Web page goes that has your video, give the pages an HTML name like; vid0096hvc.html and use the Robots No Follow tag:
<META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="NOINDEX, NOFOLLOW">
This is the next best thing to having a client log-in and works in a setting where people aren't paying
to see the video, but you still don't want them plastered all over the internet.

What is the best way to create a SSRS 2005 Line Chart Report for a 12 month period?

I'm looking for advice on how to create a SQL Server 2005 query and line chart report for SSRS 2005.
I need to display the peak number of patients assigned to a medical practice each month for a 12 month period based on the end-user selecting a
single month and year.
I've previously created a report that displays all patients assigned to the practice for any single month but I’m looking for advice on how to
how to produce a resultset that shows the peak number of patients each month for a 12 month period. I thought about creating a query that returns the peak count for each month (based on my previously created report which displays all patients assigned to the
practice for any single month) and then use a UNION statement to join all 12 months but I'm sure that isn't the most efficient way to do this. The other challenge with this approach (twelve resultsets combined via a UNION) is that the end-user needs to be
able to select any month and year for the parameter and the report needs to display the 12 month period based on the month selected (the month selected would be the last month of the 12 month period).
For the report I’ve previously created that displays all patients assigned to the practice for any single month, the WHERE statement filters the
resultset on two fields:
Start Date - The date the patient was assigned to the practice. This field is never null or blank.
End Date - The date the patient left the practice. This field can be null or blank as active patients assigned to the practice do not have an End Date. When the patient
leaves the practice, the date the patient left is populated in this field.
Using these two fields I can return all patients assigned to the practice during Nov 2012 by looking for patients that meet the following criteria:
start date prior to 11/30/2012 (using the last day of the month selected ensures patients added mid-month would be included)
AND
end date is null or blank (indicates the patient is active) OR the end date is between 11/1/2012 -11/30/2012 (returns patients that leave during the month
selected)
Regarding the query I need to create for the report that displays the peak count each month for 12 months, I'm looking for advice on
how to count patients for each month the patient is assigned to the practice if the patient has been assigned for several months (which applies to most patients). Examples are:
John Doe has a start date of 6/01/2012 and an End Date of 10/07/2012
Sally Doe has a start date of 8/4/2012 and no End Date (the patient is still active)
Jimmy Doe has a  start of 7/3/2012 and an End Date of 9/2/2012
Given these examples how would I include John Doe in the peak monthly count each month for May - October, Sally Doe in the peak monthly count for
August - December and Jimmy Doe in the peak monthly count for July – Sept if the end-user running the report selected December 2012 as the parameter?
Given the example above and the fact I'm creating a line chart I think the best way to create this report would be a resultset that looks like
this:
Patient Name
Months Assigned
John Doe
June 2012
John Doe
July012
John Doe
Aug 2012
John Doe
Sept 2012
John Doe
Oct 2012
Sally Doe
Aug 2012
Sally Doe
Sept 2012
Sally Doe
Oct 2012
Sally Doe
Nov 2012
Sally Doe
Dec 2012
Jimmy Doe
July 2012
Jimmy Doe
Aug 2012
Jimmy Doe
Sept 2012
From the resultset above I could create another resultset that would count\group on month and year to return the peak count for each month:
June 2012 - 1
July 2012 – 2
Aug 2012 - 3
Sept 2012 - 3
Oct 2012 - 2
Nov 2012 - 1
Dec 2012 - 1
The resultset that displays the peak count for each month would be used to create the line chart (month would be the X axis and the count would
be the y axis).
Does this sound like the best approach?
If so, any advice on how to create the resultset that lists each patient and each month they were assigned to the practice would be greatly appreciated.
I do not have permissions to create SPs or Functions within the database but I can create temp tables.
I know how to create the peak monthly count query (derived from the query that lists each patient and month assigned) as well as the line chart.
Any advice or help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the replies. I reviewed them shortly after they were submitted but I'm also working on other projects at the same time (hence the delayed reply).
Building a time table and doing a cross join to my original resultset gave me the desired resultset of the months assigned between dates. What I can't figure out now is how to filter months I don't want.
Doing a cross join between my original resultset that had two dates:
08/27/2010
10/24/2011
and a calendar table that has 24 rows (each month for a two year period)
my new resultset looks like this:
I need to filter the rows in yellow as the months assigned for stage 3 that started on 8/27/2010 should stop when the patient was assigned to stage 4 on 10/24/2011.
You'll notice that Jan - Sept 2011 isn't listed for Stage 4 assigned on 10/24/2011 as I included a filter in the WHERE clause that states
the Months Assigned value must be greater than or equal to the date assigned value.
Any advice would be appreciated.

WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO CREATE AN XSD FILE (TO BE USED BY SOAP ADAPTER)

Dear friends
I have a simple scenario.
OUTBOUND DATA --> SOAP ADAPTER --> ( XI ) --> RFC ADAPTER --> INBOUND DATA
The XML file that I got from mapping area of IR (Design) is as follows
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ns0:MT_NAME_SOURCE xmlns:ns0="http://test3.com">
<FIRSTNAME>DAVE</FIRSTNAME>
<LASTNAME>SMITH</LASTNAME>
</ns0:MT_NAME_SOURCE>
If you notice, there are only 2 fields.
I need to create an XSD file and import it as an external object, which I can use for SOAP Adapter.
Which is the best way to create it.
Also, I need to know if there is any step by step of sending a message from XML SPY. I have downloaded this software, but am not able to undertand how to use this.
Hope to hear from any experts on this forum.
Thanks in advance

Hi Ram,
