DW CC Fluid grid transparent text panels over media content?

Hi,
I want to add some text panels similar to this website over images and other media content such as video clips:
http://roedesigns.com/easy-css-only-image-description-hover/
I don't need it to hover, I just want to add a transparent text panel like in the link over a picture or video.
The website i'm working on is Fluid so is this something I need to do with CSS or JQuery.?
What would be the code for something like that?
At the moment I have a new section with a 'article' object/div set up for the content, the content will be a image with the text panel or a video with the text panel.
<article class="fluid article">INSERT PIC/VIDEO HERE</article>
help much appreciated!

How to make a transparent text layer over a photo that scrolls?

I looked through the Adobe Inspire Magazine, and found something really astonishing: the editor's added a text-over-photo effect multiple times throughout the magazine (See http://inspire.adobe.com/, october 2014. Has to be on the iPad to see the actual effect. "It's about the stories" by Dan Cowles features this effect).
I was really baffled to see it, as it fits my current project perfectly. I'm building a book about a recent trip to Iceland, which will be released for the iPad in the nearest future. So far, I have used Adobe InDesign CC to create pretty much the entire book, since I know little to nothing about programming.
My question is, how did they (he) do it?
Is it possible to do for someone with pretty limited knowledge? If it is, how can I do it?
Thanks a lot!

Since Adobe Inspire is made using DPS, then you can do everything that it does.
At the top of the help document, Digital Publishing Suite Help | Digital Publishing Suite Help, there are links to topics like Getting Started, Design and Layout, System Requirements, etc. Read them over to gain an overview. Also, download and review DPS Tips from the App Store.
If you are using Creative Cloud 2014, you should already have DPS Tools available to you. DPS is supported for InDesign version 6 and greater. I have found DPS pretty straight forward to use following the information given in the documentation along with help from this forum and DPS Tips.

Cannot get media content in text

I received a few texts that contained media content. When i clicked on "Get media content now", it said that it was getting media content but it never downloaded it. Is there some setting I need to change or something?

hi mate, this is a case of you needing to activate MMS with your network carrier. they should also be able to send u the settings via SMS of which you open them and tap Save. also ensure that you are up to date with the latest version of Nokia system apps, namely Access Point and Network+.

Making images and text scalable in fluid grid

So I'm creating my first Fluid Grid design and I'm having issues with making images scalable and look appropriate. Take a look at this example and the four social media icons on the top right. They're in one div id called sociaLinks. I have in my style_fg.css that the img attribute is set to 3em but that doesn't make the image scale as you resize the browser. I tried doing something like 25% (actually, a little less and I used that figure since there's four images in the div) and that worked in Firefox but in Chrome and Safari, it just appeared as what might as well have been a dot. So how can I make it where the multiple images can scale with the browser?
Likewise, I have a similar issue with making text do the same thing. In this case, my #access div which I'd like the font to resize with the browser. Any ideas on making that work?

You can make images scaleable using CSS3 like this:
div
background-image:url('mypicture.png');
background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-size:cover;
You can also use vendor specific code to make this code compliant in browsers that don't have css3 yet:
/* Safari,Chrome */
-webkit-background-size: cover;
/* Seamonkey */
-moz-background-size: cover;
/* Opera */
-o-background-size: cover;
Hope this helps.

Text size fluid grid layout

I am using Dreamweaver cs6 fluid grid layout. Is there a way to change the text size for the different layouts? For example I would like the header text to be 16px on the desktop but only 12px on the mobile.
Thank you!

This makes sense although I have not been about to make it work. Should each of these be inserted into the corresonding device section of the css? Thank you for your help!

CS6 Fluid Grid Layouts - opening CSSTransitions panel crashes program

Hi there, I'm on my second web page and this old problem has come up again.
I've asked about this before but I'm afraid I never got to the end of it, I just worked around it.
After I open the transitions panel, I then press the + button, then it crashes. Here are the error messages:
Does CSS Transitions work in Fluid Grid Layout? Thank you.

This aging mind gets very easily confused, so please bear with me.
In reply #3, I gave you an answer to you not being able to find the file to delete as in reply #2. Ticking the box next to 'Hidden Items' will allow you to find that file. By default it would be hidden. Ticking the box will not delete the cache file. For that to happen, you need to follow the process as set out in the link supplied in reply #1.

How to make regions editable in fluid grid template in 2014.1.1 in LIVE view - can't open the template editable selection panel

I am teaching a course in Dreamweaver 2014.1.1
We are setting up templates in fluid grids.
We need to make regions editable.
The LIVE view replaced the DESIGN view and does not have certain options accessible anymore.
I can't find the command to access the dropdown panel to make a region editable.
The Template tab at top, and the make editable options subtab, will not come open in fluid grid template mode.
Does anyone have a way to do this?

I was under the impression that the February update (2014.1.1) released a few days ago had fixed these problems. I urge you to file an official bug report below.
https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform
My advice for now is to stay away from Fluid Grid Layouts. But if that's not an option, I'll show you a trick for getting Design View back. Open the Fluid Grid CSS file and add an X as shown below. This tricks DW into thinking it's a normal layout.
    Dreamweaver Fluid Grid Properties
    dw-num-cols-mobile:      X 4;
    dw-num-cols-tablet:        8;
    dw-num-cols-desktop:    12;
    dw-gutter-percentage:    25;
=====================================
Once saved, you should see Design View as an option.

Footer text-alignment in fluid grid layout and another color in white space, not the body

I'm working in a fluit grid layout. Everythings works almost perfekt. Accept for de alignment in Opera mini. Mini works not with %. So it must be padding, line-height and something else. But then the footer does not stick.
In Opera mini
If i want the footer to stick to for example the bottom. I'm may not use padding in de footer.
De <p> i used for alignment in from the text. Now my footer must have a alignment in the middle of the footer (center). With padding in footer, it wil work, but then my footer will not stick to the bottom anymore.
and i have also another question, about the white spaces in de fluid grid. I don't want to give the header, body, footer another color. But that outside of my website.
With a normal website you give the html and the body grey and the content white. But if i do this with the fluid grid. The content because grey. Is there also a code for.
This is what it must be. It is a example, not for real. But i really want to know the code for it.

I found the wright code for the footer. Thanks a lot. I'm happy.
I'm also searching for a code for max-height. For example one page i have less text, so the page is not filled to the bottom. I want for designing reasons this. So the page is always fitt from header to footer.
It must not scrolled. Just complete for the desktop-computer and laptop. Is there a code for. Because there is already internet-tv and that are big-screens. It must be for all the browser also ie7, ie 6, opera, safari, chrome and more.

How to Include More Than One Font and Font Color Within a Fluid Grid Div Tag?

Using CSS code, I can make all the words within a fluid grid div tag the same font, font size, and font color, but how do I make a few of the words different?

You can style the basic text and heading selectors with CSS:
p { }
h1 { }
h2 { }
h3 { }
h4 { }
etc...
And you can make classes:
.red {color:red}
.highlight {background-color:yellow}
Then apply classes to your text or sections of it using the HTML properties panel.
<div>
     <p>This is a default paragraph style.</p>
     <p class="red">This is red.</p>
     <p class="highlight">This is highlighted.</p>
     <p>Default style with <span class="red highlight">red, highlighted text</span> and normal text.</p>
</div>
Incidentally, this will work in any layout.

More insight on divs with fluid grids please!

Help me come further up the CS6 fluid grid learning curve, please!
I'm adapting an exiting site to fluid grids. After creating the template for the primary pages, I have two major issues at this point(yeah, only two, SO FAR).
1- I have a vertically expanding menu in the first layout div. For tablets, I want to preserve the left grid column space for the menu, regardless of its length, and all other content would use just the right gid columns. But when the menu happens to be short, the "excess" content floats left under the menu grid columns. How can I force main page content to only occupy the right grid columns, regardless of the length of the menu?
As a side point to the menu, what happens when I try to put this (or the footer) all back in an SSI, as it originally was?
2 - I've seen the note about no support for nested layout divs. Thru trial and error, I'm still trying to figure out just what this means. Pragmatically, what is the greater implication of this? Can format be controlled only on fluid grid layout divs? Can't I have divs inside of a grid layout div to control image palcement around the text for instance? I've had hit=n-miss experience with this so far.
Can anybody point me to a more in-depth discussion on this topic?
Sorry if this ol' dog seems like he's learning div layout all over again. But hey! That IS how it feels!
Thanks for any education, or pointers to such, that you can provide.

Not sure I completely understand what you want. But in this example, I have set nav and LayoutDivs 5, 6, 7 to display:none in smaller devices.
http://alt-web.com/FluidGrid/Fluid2.html
I did this inside a media query within my Content.css file:
/* Special Rules for Mobiles. */
@media only screen and (max-width: 480px) {
   /**hide some divs**/
     nav, #LayoutDiv5, #LayoutDiv6, #LayoutDiv7 { display: none }
     /**show jQuery buttons**/
     #togglenav { display: block }
     #showDivs { display: block }
Then I used a simple jQuery toggle to show/hide divs.

Dreamweaver CC fluid grid controls disappearing and other info

Hi All,
I have finally completed my first commercial fluid grid design in Dreamweaver CC and it was a bit of a mission.
One disconcerting thing about the program is that the fluid grid controls keep disappearing. You know, the ones where you can hide the div, duplicate it, move it up or down, or delete it.
I have found that when this happens, I need to close the html file I am working on in DW CC and then open it again. The controls then appear again, so you can rearrange your various layouts as demonstrated in those breezy demo videos about DW CC fluid grid layouts.
So don't just conclude you have broken the code when these controls disappear, try closing and opening the file again first.
Also you need to insert all the divs you need for all layouts in the mobile phone layout, as that is the main layout, governing all the others because of the way the media queries are set up in the CSS file that is created when you start your fluid grid layout.
I could not work out how to reorder divs in the different layouts, this may not be possible at the moment. Instead I created divs in the phone layout to cover all of the divs needed in the three layout sizes and switched them off and on in the various layouts. This works really well, but I found that DW behaved strangely if I switched a div off in the mobile layout and then tried to style it in one of the other layouts. So I suggest styling all of the divs first for all the layouts before switching any of them off in the mobile layout.
Also you can't copy the contents of one div and put them in another without freaking the program out, especially if you are working in a div that is hidden in the mobile layout.
I suggest saving regularly as you add new divs and style them and view live in a browser immediately, as the preview in DW CC is not reliable. It can't show rounded div corners or shadows for example.
Keep an eye on the code as it is built by your use of the CSS Properties panel. If it starts going wrong, close the html file without saving it or the attached CSS file. Then go back in and try what you want to do again.
If you save weird code errors, your work could be so compromised that you need to start all over again. So quit out without saving if you notice this.
After much experimentation I now insert images into a div, rather than make them a background image, as the background image will not completely show if the content of the div is not long enough. This may require a rethink of your design.
Doing any absolute sizes in a div will make the responsive design very hard to style and possibly break the code, so I don't suggest it.
Adding padding to a div can make it stick out of right edge of the design, I am not sure why this is the case and could not work out how to stop it. So use low pixel numbers in the padding of a div.
Also control z seems to be a sudden death move, so I stopped doing that.
So my first job has been a bit of a ride, but I seem to be nearly there on my first design.
I think DW CC is still a work in progress and I look forward to further updates of the software.

Hi Top Ten,
You can't get them back once they go. You now need to edit the css code manually to do the same thing.
For instance if you want divs to sit beside each other you put this in the css for that div:
clear: none;
This css means that div will allow other divs to sit beside it.
Then put in a width in percentages. For example if you have three divs that need to sit beside each other put:
width: 33%;
in each of them. Or maybe:
width: 31%;
margin-right: 2%;
Fortunately in DWCC it is now robust enough for you to do those code changes by hand. My original question in this thread was posed when DW CC fluid grid had just come out and crashed easily. A year later all is well, so you can do those changes in the css code without problems now.
Regards,
Mary

DW CC Fluid grid layout how to change px width for desktop layout

Hi there,
I have been going through the various tutorials about fluid grid layout and setting up our bureau's website in a responsive layout.
The width of the original design was 960 px and the hero pic and others have been exported at that size.
The first divs in the design look fine, header with the 960 px pic in it, and also the BC menu which is set to 960 wide.
However the body text goes out to the right, past the 960 px and this is because, right at the start, when starting the file in DW the desktop screen width is set to 1232px.
How can you change this setting when starting a new fluid grid layout?
I have tried changing the number of columns, or the percentage, and the width for desktop remains at 1232px.
Why is this?
Not all of our clients want a site 1232px wide on a pc.
Thanks so much.

Hi Ben and Nancy,
Thanks for your replies, but maybe you both don't realise I am asking specifically about DW CC and setting up a responsive design using a fluid grid layout?
I have been following the recent videos from Adobe on this.
As far as the width of 960 goes, Nancy I am only shortchanging myself, as this is the website for our agency. The original design is 960px wide as I did read somewhere that this width is recommended now that responsive is coming, as it is easily divided into a grid layout. I also am quoting for a client at the moment who wants a responsive design for their website, and they have specifically requested that the site have a maximum width of 960 px. So I would like to find out if this is possible in DW CC at the moment when doing a fluid grid layout.
So what I am trying to do here is follow the Adobe tutorials on responsive design, using DW CC and I am using the current design for our agency website as a trial to set this up and try and get it working as a responsive website.
It does not seem to me that many other people are doing this, as most people are recommending that I try Github or Bootstrap.
However, I am not a coder and I am used to using DW, so I would like to get the DW CC responsive design features working if possible.
Ben the CSS you are looking at is being generated by DW CC as I follow the steps in the Adobe demonstration videos to set up a fluid grid layout in DW CC.
One of the things they say in the videos is that you can't program the CSS directly when doing a fluid grid layout, or you break the CSS and it all stops working. So I am using the new panels in DW CC to set up the layout. One thing I cannot get access to is the ability to set a maximum width for the site. It seems to be set in concrete when you start the fluid design up in DW CC.
Here is a pic of the screen I am talking about that sets the maximum width:
I cannot click in the pixel width at the top and change it. Also if I adjust the number of gridlines or the percentage for the pc layout, the default maximum pixel width does not change.
If you click on the preferences button and go into the Window sizes screen, there does not seem to be a way to set the maximum pc width here either, so I am a bit stumped.
Maybe I just have say to my clients that if you want a responsive design then the max width for pc can only be 1232px? It does seem strange to me that this cannot be changed.

Fluid grid layouts do not work in IE 7/8

Hello,
I just created a simple fluid grid layout with Dreamweaver CS6, but there is a problem in Internet Explorer.
IE 9 shows it right.
When I start IE 9, I press F12 to get to the developer panel. When I switch to IE 7 / 8, the layout crashes. There are no background colors and text styles anymore.
Later I will upload some screenshots.
All other browser work fine.
Where is the problem here?

When I resize layout in Firefox, the background colors disappear in mobile portrait, mobile landscape, and tablet portrait.
Reason: You added styles to your FluidGrid Desktop but not mobile & tablet.
In order for FluidGridLayouts to work, you must build your mobile styles first because everything else is based on that.
I find it's much safer to use a separate style sheet for content. When you start adding stuff to FluidGridLayout.css, things can get screwed up in a hurry.

Hi, I'm totally new to fluid grid layout and just got started in it. I have a div tag that has 5px height and I sucessfully applied that and seem fine only on Tablet landscape (1024x768) and Small tablet landscape (800x600), nevertheless it isn't even displaying on Mobile portrait (320x480), Mobile landscape (480x320), Small tablet portrait (600x800) and Tablet portrait (768x1024).

I really do appreciate your efforts to help me solve this problem... Thank you in advance

Height is determined by content. I can't think of a single reason to have a div height of 5px because almost nothing will fit inside that small a space without problems.
As to why it doesn't show up in other devices, you must have put that style into the Tablet CSS code instead of the default Mobile CSS code.
Fluid Grids build up from Mobile (applied to everything) with specific rules for Tablets, then Desktops.
Best advice, use Fluid Grids for layout only. Use a separate CSS file for content styles.
Hope this helps,

Lost fluid grid layout

I use dreamweaver cc
I opened and created a page, that worked fine in fluid grid layout.
I then quit out of dreamweaver, then came back to the same page later.
Now when i open that page in dreamweaver cc, i no longer see it with the fluid grid layout or with the fluid grid handles on any of the divs.
I also no longer have the little button in the toolbar next to live button either.... to toggle the fluid layout on and off.
I did see one solution which says to go to view/ visual aids/ display fluid grid layouts
but this does not seem to be available in dreamweaver cc... only dreamweaver cs6.
I have the latest version of dreamweaver cc, and have set up the page correctly.
Thanks in advance to anyone that takes the time to help.

Hi Nancy,
My operating system is Windows 7, run at our health corporation, (so I can't upgrade to Windows 8 or 8.1.)
Im running Adobe Dreamweaver Creative Cloud built 6733 - the latest version as of today.
The problem I have been experiencing match up with those of many other users over the last 2 years. There's quite a few posts reporting the same type of thing that I am. Basically it's to do with the Fluid layout controls and the icon on the toolbar that first appears once you've created a new webpage controlled by the fluid layout stylesheet. These are first there, but after restarting DW they are gone.
i.e.
I create an HTML5 webpage saved as 'default.asp' and a fluid grid stylesheet named fg-styles.css.
The Fluid Grid layout controls are all there. (I am doing nothing else, no injection of code nothing.)
Then I close Dreamweaver
On reopening of Dreamweaver and all files, when looking at the default.asp file in Design view, the fluid grid hide/show icon on the toolbar and the fluid grid controls when clicking inside the fluid div no longer show.
I get this every single time, even after rebooting my computer.
The controls also strangely disappear during a session when I am adding new blocks within the fluid grid panel.
I am so close now from discontinuing using this tool and looking elsewhere for fluid grid solutions.
It seems such a powerful tool, but what use is it if it is unstable. Really, DW should not roll out such tools until they have been proven to work reliably.
Also documentation should be provided that makes clear when this tool cannot be used reliably and workaround solutions.
I have now spent a solid 10 hours on this, and created countless versions of the same page.
Admittedly at one stage I discovered that when adding the classic ASP line above my HTML5 code that this would not work after Dreamweaver saved my document as an .asp file, but even .html files still experience all kinds of bugs with this tool.
I hope this kinda explained what problems I am facing.
Thanks again for your time.
I will now move on to other fluid grid solutions, but am happy to re-look at the DW tool if there is a sure-fire way that fixes my problems.
