Dreamweaver resizing on different monitors problem

Hey;
First post, brand new to Dreamweaver, couldn't be more of a noob than me. Been making my first site and I've run into what must be a very common problem. The pages look different depending on which browser or monitor or resoution the viewer is using. I think I may have been able to avoid this by creating the pages in a "liquid layout" or at least that's what I heard. Can I go back and change the layout to "liquid" after the page is constructed or do I have to start over or is some other fix available?
I'm using Dreamweaver and Photoshop and I'm amazed I've gotten this far as they are both completely new to me. I'm running them on a fairly slow XP box.
Thanks to anyone who can help.

If this is your first web site in DW, I suggest you use a centered Fixed-width layout (pixels).  It will move to center on wider displays and remain flush  left on smaller displays. 900-1000px wide is a good average range.
1-column, fixed-width, centered layout
http://209.200.247.198/TEMPLATES/CSS2-1-column-fixed-width-centered.shtml
Liquid Layouts (%) and Elastic Layouts (Ems) require advanced understanding of CSS techiniques to work well in all browsers.  Save those layouts  for your 5th or 6th project. 
Start here:

  • Set front panel size to fit different monitor ( 2 monitors-pattern to 1 monitor-pattern)

    Hello, Everybody,
    I have here some questions about front panel size.
    At first I have create my LabVIEW programs with 2 monitors and run them with 2 monitors, because of this reason I have created a huge front panel with many objects.
    But sometimes I will run the program only with 1 monitor, the problem is, the front panel is too big, I can not see the front panel with all objects completely on one monitor! I know, I can scroll aroud it, but I don´t like this way. I would like to set the front panel size automatically to fit the window ( to differenz window sizes or resolutions), how can I do that?
    I have tried with "Maintain proportions of window for different monitor resolutions" and "Scale all objects on front panel as the window sizes" to finish that, but they did`t work, I can not see the front panel at once on one monitor;-(
    Can you help me?
    regards,
    Johnny

    As noted in the KB article What Is the Difference Between the Options
    "Scale All Objects on Panel" and "Maintain Window Proport..., the "Scale All Objects on Panel causes all the objects inside the panel to scale when the panel itself is resized". If the panel isn't resized, the objects arent's scaled. You may also want to read the KB article How Do I Scale All of the Objects of My Front Panel with the Window Size?.

  • Dual Monitor Problems with Vista

    I have a Lenovo T61 laptop running Vista ultimate 32 bit, SP1. I schlep this back and forth from home to work and put it in docking stations at each location. The docking stations have external monitors attached. At work I have a Viewsonic VX2035wm 20" Wide screen, (16:10) monitor with optimum resolution of 1680x1050. At home I have a Viewsonic VA912b 19" standard aspect ratio monitor with a suggested resolution of 1280x1024.
    I typically run in dual monitor mode using my laptop display and the external monitor and extend the display across both monitors. Sometimes I run with the laptop display as the primary monitor, sometimes the external is the primary.
    When I take my system from one location to another, generally upon boot or resume it recognizes the different monitor configurations and adjusts the display properties accordingly. However, about once a week I have a problem. For example, I shutdown at home, came into work and attempted to boot the system. Upon boot my external monitor displayed a frequency out of range error and did not display anything else. I suspect that the external port was configured to a setting that was not supported by the monitor. It appears that this was the primary display because my laptop only showed the background and the desktop did not display. Since nothing was displayed, I couldn't click the start menu, any icons, etc. I tried to adjust the monitor configuration by right clicking the laptop screen and selecting personalize, but the personalization dialog would not show up and I suspect that it went to the blanked out external monitor.
    Please advise on how I can handle this situation. Is there any way to move the display from the external to the notebook when this happens? I noticed that Viewsonic has Vista drivers listed on their web site. Would it help to download and install these? Is there anything else you can suggest?

    The main point of posting this topic was to point out the appalling service offered by Adobe but, of course resolving this issue would be nice also.
    So here goes;
    Dual monitor issue (Applies to CS4 applications; Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign etc. but not Flash or Dreamweaver or any other manufacturers software).
    I have 2 monitors installed with Windows Vista 64bit, using Nvidia Quadro FX 1700:
    -1280 x 1024 (primary display on the left) &
    -1440 x 900 (on the right)
    With a CS4 application maximised in the larger monitor, all the drop down menus display fine, if the chosen drop-down menu is taller than the height of the monitor (fonts, for instance), an arrow appears at the bottom of the menu so that I can scroll down the rest of the menu. If I then reduce the size of the CS4 application window, move it to the smaller monitor and maximised it again, the drop-down menu (which displayed and functioned fine in the primary monitor) is cropped off so I can't access the rest of the menu.
    This might seem a minor irritation, but for batch-processing of merged files (the main purpose for having 2 monitors) CS4 makes the 2nd monitor redundant.
    Another, less irritating issue (again, only with the applications named above) is that the window when maximised in the secondary monitor 'hangs over' into the primary monitor.

  • Sizing a build for different monitors

    Hi,
    After making a build and running the .exe on different monitors in our lab I'm finding the window isn't sizing for the different monitor resolutions. What I tried to do was using the file->VI Properties->Window Size.
    In this section I tried to check the "Maintain proportions...."  and redo the build. Now, the window opens and fits in every monitor I'm trying to run the .exe in. However, everything within that window is still the same size, and on smaller monitors goes off the screen edge. Really, this just buys not having to resize the window to fit manually.
    I then tried to use the "Scale all object of front panel...." In this case it DOES NOT scale everything on the panel proportionately!  Therefore, a whole bunch of the items in the panel (texts, LEDs, etc) are now overlapping. How do I overcome this obstacle?
    Thanks!

    Use splitter bar to saperate the front panel into panes.  ONE control per pane.
    Right click the splitter bar to set pane sizing properties.
    Set controls to Scale Object with pane. 
    That's some good advice.  I'd add that you don't need one control per pane if they are things that don't change size, and the pane doesn't change size.  Say I have a horizontal splitter with a table on top and buttons on the bottom.  When my window resizes the table grows but not the area on the bottom pane with buttons.  Down there I can have all the controls I want because that pane doesn't change size and there isn't a need to they only have buttons.
    You'll likely end up with lots of splitters and lots of panes but when you invest time into getting it right it will work on any monitor, as a full screen application or not.
    Oh and remember you can set the minimum windows size, and pane size for each pane if you want to help keep the UI not get too small.
    Another alternative I've seen used is to have multiple UI VIs, and have them developed for a specific resolution, and then not allow the user to resize it.  So maybe have a VI for 800 by 600, and one for 1024 by 768.  The problem with this is there are so many "standard" resolutions this isn't really a good method.  Besides users like to be able to resize their windows like all normal programs can.

  • Possibly mundane Mini-DVI to VGA into an external monitor problem

    Hi,
    I've had a look over the interwebs regarding my problem and it seems as if it's not unusual to have external monitor problems but I'm not sure if mine is slightly different:
    I had a perfectly working set up with my new Macbook (the white one, '06 model I believe), that was connected to my Hanns-G HU196D monitor via a mini-DVI to VGA adapter, no problems whatsoever. But for a couple of weeks now my Macbook just flickers a light blue colour, with nothing at all on the monitor, and my macbook is unusable until I remove the adapter. I've read about updating firmware but I can't see my desktop once the macbook is connected to the monitor so it's not possible to configure anything. I've read somewhere that my external monitor isn't compatible with this set up, but it was until a couple of weeks ago!
    My Macbook's 4 months old now and since then I've bought a new mini-dvi to vga adapter and a new VGA cable, no connections seem loose on either mini-dvi port or my monitor's vga port.
    Thanks if you can help!
    Jack

    You will need to use a mini Dvi-dvi and a dvi-svideo/rca adapter.
    Joy joy hallelujah.
    Pardon the sarcasm...I just wasted 3 hours of my life trying to sort the issue out.
    Heard a KWORLD PlusTV PCTOTV Converter SA235 USB 2.0 Interface would sort the issue out for under 40$ but it's not Mac.
    Hope that helps.

  • Power Macintosh G3 (beige)   Desktop Mac OS X  Monitor problem

    I am trying to use a Power Macintosh G3 desktop (beige) that has been unused for about 8 years now. When I first turned it on all was fine, but in subsequent boot ups the monitor has failed to come on. The green light on the monitor flashes. I can hear the operating system booting up but I can also hear a rather ugly sound - which I think has been described as like smashing glass. The happens once when I first boot up.
    I would assume it is a problem with the monitor - but am not sure of this smashing glass sound and what that means. If I do have to replace or try a different monitor - are there issues in connecting etc - I presume I will have easy access only to a more recent monitor.
    thanks

    What kind of monitor are you using and how is it connected? Some older Apple monitors with the ADB pass-though (for plugging the keyboard and mouse to the monitor when the CPU is tucked under the desk) would not allow resolution changes unless the ABD connection was used.
    The Beige G3 will always boot to 640x480 res and then change to your desired setting only after the users prefs load. That also means that, with a dead PRAM battery, it's going to reset to 640x480. If the monitor can't support this res, then you get black.
    Try a PRAM reset. Find the "CUDA Reset button" using this logic board diagram:
    http://macgurus.com/products/motherboards/mbppcg3mini.php
    Press and hold it for 20-30 seconds to clear all the contents of RPRAM. New factory defaults will load into PRAM on the next boot. A weak/dying battery can lead to corrupted PRAM contents, and the CUDA reset is your new best friend for dealing with such nonsense.

  • 3 front panels on 3 different monitors

    Hey all
    I was browsing the web and the developers forum but nothing seemed to help me with this problem. I have three front panels I need to run. I have a control room .vi (which is still in the works) a fire tech subVI and a viewing room subVI. I need to show the Fire Tech and Viewing room VI on different monitors.
    Now when I say monitor I literally mean like a TV screen. The only computer available in the desired space for testing is in the control room. Therefore I somehow need to get the Fire Tech panel in the fire test area and the Viewing Room panel in the viewing room. Is there a way I can do this without using a web browser? Maybe there is some sort of S-Video I can use or something I can wire from my computer to the other monitors.
    Any information would be great. I looked into the web browser thing like I said and due to the confidentiality I don't feel comfortable using it. I'm not sure how remote panels work, but like I said I don't have computer access other than the control room.
    Thanks

    Hi Tanya,
    as there are graphics card available which support up to 6 monitors your 3-monitor request should be possible from the hardware side.
    In LabVIEW you can control on which monitor the frontpanel is opened, just look for the "FP Window.Monitor" property of the VI...

  • Two different monitors as multi-moni​tors

    Is it possible to run a two-monitor display using two completely different monitors? I'm replacing an ancient desktop with a Pavillion 500-c60 (Win 8.1), and also bought a W2371d monitor for the new machine. The old PC used a perfectly good, but ancient, Samsung 17-inch monitor.
    What would happen if I tried to include my old monitor in my new setup? If I were able to use dual monitors, I would of course make the new HP the primary one. Still, it would be valuable to me if I could have the additional display acreage from the old monitor. However, the displays are not only from different manufacturers -- they are from different vintages, different sizes, different standard resolutions. Is it even possible to do this?
    This question was solved.

    Hi,
    Yes, you can use TWO different monitors as mentioned:

  • Running a Front Pannel and SubVI on different monitors when using a DAQ

    I have developed a test rig monitoring system. Since there are a large number of transducers and thermocouples I have had to divide the monitoring system into two parts. An air system Front pannel, which is interactive,alloying me to start stop pause the program, and a fuel system SubVI which is purly for displaying information. When the front pannel is opened I would like the SubVI to be displayed as well. I dont mind waiting for it to be called by data being sent to it, but since data will be constantly sent to it I dont want it continnuously called. Basically I want it there running in the back ground so that I can acess it whenever I need it but I dont want it getting in the way. Does this make sense?
    Thanks

    They will be running on different monitors from the same PC. To allow us to view both at the same time. The problem that I am having right now is that the window is being continuously called through the data, so it will appear and disapear. If i select the close if originally closed option, and I open the subVI originally, then it will stay open for awhile then start to open and close again. I think this a labVIEW softwear issue as it happends at a different time each time I run the program. The other issue is that I need the Front Pannel to be the active Window, but not necesiarily on top.
    Hopefully this makes more sense, I can attach the program if you like, but it is pretty large and requires a number of subVI's and the keithley 2700 driver package

  • What is the best way to make a program fit different monitor resoultions?

    In our lab all our test stations have 1280x1024 resoultion monitors. In the "other lab" all the test station monitors are 1440x900 resoultion.
    Now I am tasked with making my programs run on the test stations in the other lab. I have tried setting the options "maintain proportions of windows for different monitor resoultions" and "Scale all object on front panel as the windows resizes" and of course neither one of these options really does what I would expect it to do.
    What is the best way to make programs fit different monitor resoultions?

    I resize the Front Panel when the program start to fit the monitor resolution.  After that, I use the "SBE_Determine If Screen Resized.vi" from TomBrass (http://forums.ni.com/t5/LabVIEW/Resizing-controls-on-a-tab-control-within-a-pane/td-p/1520244 ).  This vi is very useful if you don't want to monopolize the CPU with the "Panel Resize" event.
    I don't like this function for a couple reasons.  First for the example you don't need any custom code to handle the window resizing, just use a couple splitters.  Even if you did need to handle the resize, you only resize after the mouse is up after the resize which is not how normal Windows programs work they resize as the mouse moves.  So I modified the VI to resize objects as you resize the window.  Then because doing this can generate 100 events very quickly, I use a boolean in a shift register to make sure that we only handle the resize event if there is no new resize events after 0ms.  This essentially makes a lossy queue and handles the last resize event.

  • [Solved] another flickering monitor problem

    Hi,
    I hooked a new LED monitor to my laptop via a VGA cable but the sad
    part is that the monitor flickers quite a bit. It's not a hardware
    problem because I hooked the monitor to a windows box (using the same
    VGA cable), and the monitor works perfectly well.
    My laptop uses the video card ATI Radeon HD 3670. I'm currently using
    the open source driver xf86-ati-video.
    Here are a few things I've tried (many of them based from previous
    posts) that I didn't have any success: to use the ATI's proprietary
    driver (catalyst); to use xf86-ati-video-git; to disable KMS; to check
    the output of xrandr (the preferred and the current mode match); and
    to downgrade to older version of the xf86-ati-video. My archlinux box is
    also upgraded.
    I noticed the following patterns in my monitor flickering:
    - it only happens with darker colors (no flicker when I open a white
      page for instance).
    - the flicker is not limited to X. The virtual consoles also flicker.
      So I think that means that the cause of the flicker has nothing to
      do with Xorg.
    - the flicker is vertical.
    - The flicker does not occur when I'm at the GRUB menu.
    Any suggestion of how I can solve this problem is more than welcome!
    Cheers,

    I'm really glad you solved it :-)
    If you want, you can boot a liveCD / liveUSB and see if it has problems with your VGA too. If it runs OK, the problems may be related to your Arch setup.
    If you can get another monitor with a VGA connector you can test it too - maybe your laptop is just jealous of the new shiny monitor ;P
    These are good ideas. I get the same flickering with the ubuntu live cd but I didn't try with the arch live cd yet. As to other monitors, I still get the same flickering when I use a different monitor with a VGA cable.
    I think you're right: my laptop must be getting jealous :-)

  • Multi Monitor - different Screeen Saver for different monitor - Setting for notebook computers...

    Hi,
    I have a question about the multi monitor, screen saver setting for Windows 7.  I'd like to know 2 questions.
    1.) if I can set different screen saver settings on different monitors
    2.) If I can do it, can I work on the external (or non-primay) monitor, when I have the primary monitor with "blank" screen saver?
    Basically, I put my notebook computer at the docking station at work, and the docking station is connected to a 22" monitor, desktop keyboard and mouse.  So, at work, the 22" monitor and K/B would be my primary use.  However, I still "flip"
    open the notebook monitor for dual monitor use. 
    I'd like to "save" the notebook monitor when I don't use it for 30 min. or so...  I'd like to "power" it off or set it so that it would only turn on if I move my mouse to that screen.
    Is there a way to do it?
    Thanks

    Hi
    There isn't any way to do what you are describing.
    The reason is that both monitors have the same source for the video. You can extend the video to the second monitor, but this just gives you more screen space.
    The screen saver will only display on the monitor that is set as the default and when the screen saver starts, the other monitor will be blank.
    Hope this helps.
    Thank You for using Windows 7
