Creating websites in photoshop and export to dreamweaver
Ok. I NEED HELP!!! I tend to create complex designs in
photoshop, and I can never get my images to line up correctly in
Dreamweaver. I had sliced each image in photoshop, and saved them
as HTML and Images, I open it up in dreamweaver, and none of my
buttons work. I have also tried creating tables in a layout, but it
never lays out the way I want it to. If anyone knows how to do this
and create complex designs as well, please give me a hint on how to
do it. I been having a hard time for a while and I am about to go
to this program that does all of that for me while in photoshop.
Also, if anyone heard of Site Grinder 2 (a site builder that
works with photoshop and helps you create webpages)? It seems
interesting, but I want to make sure I do not spend unecessary
money.
PLEASE HELP!!!

I think it's worth your time. It's a nice product. If you
have no
intention or interest in learning HTML and CSS, it's about
the only way to
create stable webpages....

Creating website using Photoshop
I created a website using Photoshop. I created the slices and
exported html and images. I am now in Dreamweaver and am not 100%
sure what to do. I have been watching several tutorials and read
that you need to make div tags. I have a background image (notepad
image) that I want to place text over for my main content. I'm not
sure if I should create the text in Photoshop or in Dreamweaver? I
know it will probably be a lot easier to edit if I did the content
in Dreamweaver but I can't seem to get it right. Can someone
explain how I do the div tags using CSS? Is it OK to use photoshop
to create the text and if so, is it hard to edit? Please give me
your thoughts.Taking a Fireworks comp to a CSS-based layout in Dreamweaver

Hi, can you tell me how to create website on iweb and make it public, and tell me how to put a password on it, thanks.
Find a webhosting company :

How do I download and saves html files off my website to store and save using Dreamweaver CS3?
How do I download and saves html files off my website to store and save using Dreamweaver CS3?
I need to save all files from web and store onto a drive to reupload to a new domain name. I use Dreamweaver CS3.First define your Local Site folder in Dreamweaver. DW will use this folder to store your site files.
Go to Manage Sites > New or Edit site. See screenshots.
Servers: Enter your remote server's log-in details. When complete, hit TEST to see if the connection is working. If all is well, hit SAVE.
From the Files Panel (F8), click on Remote Server to show the files that are currently there. Click the green Down Arrow to GET files from remote server to your local site folder.

Create website with IDCS3 and SiteGrinder?
Media Lab's SiteGrinder is an amazing product for easily converting Photoshop designs into working websites without any knowledge of coding. Unfortunately, I have much more experience with InDesign than with Photoshop, but as it's possible to import InDesign files into Photoshop, I'm wondering if I can go this route with my InDesign designs, rather than learn how to use Photoshop more extensively. Has anyone here created a website with InDesign and SiteGrinder, with minimal Photoshop "intervention"?
> Are you referring to everything crowding and overlapping when the text is enlarged? Isn't that a common problem with all sites?
It's common -- far too common -- but not inevitable. It's bound to happen with SG, though, because they carve up the layout into fixed size chunks and then use absolute positioning, so there's no way for the containers to accommodate changes in font size except by crashing into each other, or growing scroll bars, which is only sometimes going to work. For the same reason -- starting with a single Photoshop image -- they can't identify headings or lists, so the pages aren't properly accessible to some assistive technology. If you don't care about accessibility, you should realize that this also means that they become hard or impossible for search engines to analyze, so people aren't going to find your site so easily.
But I guess this discussion is a bit out of place on an InDesign forum. To get back to that, if you wanted to start in InDesign, the best thing to do is use XML export to get properly marked-up XHTML, and then lay it out with CSS. There's a good piece about doing this somewhere over on InDesign Secrets -- I don't have the exact URL to hand. But you would have to learn some CSS to do that. It seems that you are determined to go with SiteGrinder, though, so I can only recommend that you try things like changing the font size, and checking it with different browsers, so that you don't end up with something too awful. But if you do find the time to read, for example, Zeldman's book on Designing with Web Standards, you'll end up better at making sites than if you don't. -
Using iWeb 09 to create website for showreel and videos
Hello,
I'm an independent film maker and I am looking to set up my own website to show my work on. Seeing how iWeb 09 finally allows you to publish your website to a host via FTP, I wondered if anyone could answer some questions for me - I have googled some stuff but have not come up with any satisfactory answers.
Okay, so basically I want a really simple website - incredibly simple in fact. All I want to do is have live streaming video (like the movie trailers on apples movie trailer website) for my own films. Of course, I want the videos to be of the highest quality (with some HD stuff as well). I have found a web host that offers unlimited web-space and bandwidth/traffic for a very cheap price each month, so is it simply a case of dragging a QT movie file into iWeb 09, publish it via FTP, and hey presto, people can view my films in high quality on the web? Is it really that simple or is there a catch?
Also, I may want to show some videos encoded with Flash, not QT. Is that still possible using iWeb 09?
Many, many thanks if you can clear up these queries for me, as I cannot seem to find any clear info anywhere else.
George
P.S. I will be using FCP, not iMovie, to create and export films. Since they can both export QT files, I presume this will not be a problem?Inigo wrote:

George ~ Yes, there's a catch. Your videos will become part of iWeb's Domain file which may make it slow to open in iWeb, make backups and re-publish everything (if needed). Better to upload your videos separately to your server and embed them into your iWeb site.
iWeb '09 makes this easy if you upload your videos to YouTube: iWeb '09 has a new YouTube widget to embed your videos into your iWeb page:
http://www.apple.com/ilife/iweb/#widgets
...For high definition video, YouTube was recently ranked the best of several video sites:
Which HD video Web service is the best?
See also this article:
YouTube officially enables HQ in embedded videos
Also, I may want to show some videos encoded with Flash, not QT. Is that still possible using iWeb 09?
If you're concerned that some PC users won't have QT and won't want to install it, I think if you go the embedded YouTube route, almost all PC or Mac users will be able to view your videos — because "videos on YouTube are streamed through an Adobe Flash player."
If you'd prefer to use Flash in iWeb, this article may help:

Slicing and exporting to Dreamweaver question
I use Fireworks and then slice up my comp and export as
nested tables to Dreamweaver. What I would like to do is export it
with the image pieces as the background of the table cells with a
transparent gif overlay, to help prevent image theft. I know no
method is fool proof, but is there a way to do this in Fireworks
without having to manually go back and change all of the image
pieces to the background of the cells?Not really, no. And of course by "no" I mean, sortof ... I'm
fairly certain
you could use javascript and the FW API to create a command
to do this, but
I imagine this would be HUGELY complicated and not for the
faint of heart.
FYI: modern web design practices discourage the use of tables
to lay out
your web pages. Tables should only be used for displaying
tabular data (ex.
stats). Instead you should be using div & span tags along
with CSS to lay
out your site(s). In the long run this will give you a LOT
more flexibility
as your sites grow and become more complicated

Having trouble previewing my website on Safari and Firefox from Dreamweaver CS5
Hi,
I previously built a website using Dreamweaver version CS3 and it ran well. Now that I I have upgraded to Dreamweaver CS5, I'm having trouble previewing the menu text on my website and flash picture text. I'm using an Apple operating sytem (10.6.8). While previewing the web page On Safari and Firefox within Dreamweaver, my menus and the flash picture text have not shown up and the main page contained an error that says:
"Adobe Flash Player has stopped a potentially unsafe operation.
The following local application on your computer or network:
null
is trying to communicate with this Internet-enabled location:
s.ytimg.com
To let this application communicate with the Internet, click Settings.
You must restart this application after changing your settings."
Can you tell me what I do to correct this?This is often related to embedded YouTube videos in your webpage.
See http://forums.adobe.com/thread/499751
"This warning is talking about the Flash Global Security Settings Manager. This is not a virus but rather a very common security step related to allowing Flash to connect to the Internet while testing on your local machine. This only occurs during testing on your local machine and does not come into play when that same Flash object is on the Web page on the server.
The Settings Manger allows you to "approve" connecting to the Internet for a particular Flash object.
http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/se ttings_manager04.html
So go to the Settings Manager, Click "Edit Locations" or "Add Location" and browse on you computer for the Flash file that you are giving permisssion to connect to the Internet. Each Flash object that attempts to access the Internet will need to be given permission separately.
Kind of a pain... or just upload your Flash to the server and test from there, then it's not an issue."

Hello everyone,
Thank you in advance for dealing with my inexperience and answering my question.
I have been stuck on this for wayyyy too long. Here is my problem. I created a drop down menu for a portfolio website I am building. When I pull this into Dreamweaver the way to link the menu items to the pages is elusive. I have no idea what to do. Please help?
Here is the screenshot. Thank you very much Jennifer
OK, Well no one can actually see this image since it came in so small, but please help me anyway if you can?Thank you for answering my question. I created the graphics in photoshop, sliced them in fireworks and now I am pulling the site in dreamweaver to link it. The dropdown is just a little dropdown menu. I created it in Fireworks because when I tried to create one in Dreamweaver I had to use a spry which was even harder to figure out and get to work. If I knew Html or CSS my life would be much easier but I don't. I don't have much time to learn it right now since I work over time all week, do graphics freelance and I go to school for computer science. I need to get this site up and I just want a fast little fix to get it up. When I have time to learn more I can make this site better or start a better site, but for right now it just needs to work. Is there a way to get what I have working so I can just get this site up. Later I will have more time and more experience to do this better. I am learning so thank you for your experience.
Thanks,
Jennifer -
Slicing image on different angle and exporting to Dreamweaver ?
Hi!
I think I searched entire web and didn't find the answer.. Is it possible to slice image on different angle not just rectangle ? On images below you can see the section that I'm trying to make a slice and slowly I'm loosing hope because I think It's not possible ? (and why the h3II is not?? :-) ) It would be little confusing for Dreamweaver when I would try to import that image then, because it's not the "right" shape but.. I'm trying to make a rollover image but I want just a small part of image to rollover to another image that is not the "right" shape... I hope I didnt complicate to much and explaind well what I'm trying to do, you can see the 2 images below for example what I'm trying to do.
Crop tool allows me to spin rectangle done with it, but still cant use that in Dreamweaver, it rotates the image back at right angle.
If its not possible with photoshop or dreamweaver, what software is capable of doing it and that i could inport to dreamweaver then ?
Would be grateful for any tips or link or whatever just not stopping on none-rollover image.
(i want that to apear when going over with pointer - on wall exactly)If you want to change image transparency on mouse over, you can do this with CSS opacity and proprietary MS filters.
CSS code:
a img {border:none}
img a:link {
/**for non-IE browsers**/
opacity: 0.5;
/**for IE8**/
-ms-filter:"progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Alpha(Opacity=50)
/**for IE6,7**/
filter:alpha(opacity=50);
img a:hover,
img a:active,
img a:focus {
opacity: 10;
-ms-filter:"progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Alpha(Opacity=100)
filter:alpha(opacity=100)

Creating an 3D array and exporting it to excel
I'm trying to create a spreadsheet file that will have three columns of data. So far, I've been only successful in getting two columns. I tried to look for examples but I could only find examples that had single-floating point numbers, not strings.
I've been sucessful in writing strings to an Excel worksheet, now I just need to find a way to take every other data point in the second column and give it it's own column.
To aid in solving the problem, I've attached the excel file that the VI wrote to as well as the VI itself.

Overprint issue with file created in ID CS2 and exported to PDF
I created some banners in ID CS2. Sent them out to get printed. They came back today. One of them is all screwed up. Out of 6 banners which are all very similar, only one is messed up. I called today and the printer said that that one file has overprint turned on. I dont see any over print turned on in InDesign or when I open the PDF in Acrobat and turn Overprint Preview on and off, it shows no difference. They said they opened the PDF in Illustrator to do this and that it's showing overprint turned on in there... WTF? They are reprinting the banner but making us pay for shipping... any thoughts?
ChrisNever trust a printer that is opening PDF's in Illustrator. I'm always amazed when I hear of printers that do this.
With the file that stuffed up you did have overprinting turned on for the coloured text at the bottom as well. This wouldn't have caused a problem though because there is nothing underneath it.
The rest of the file is fine. Overprinting was only turned on for the black stroke around the "demonstrations" text as it should be not the inside fill.
I can tell you the file goes through my rips fine, but then again I'm not doing anything stupid like opening it in Illustrator first.
