Dynamic in Designer but not in Workspace

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction. I have a form with a few expanding tables and digital signatures that I created in Designer that works perfectly when i preview it. But when i use it in my process and render the form in worspace (or download it from workspace and open it on your desktop), the form no longer is dynamic. The buttons no longer add rows to my table or anything, and no javascript errors are showing up in my debugger. Is there anything that might cause this?
I'm thinking it might be my custom render process (which is just the default renderer with a policy and extensions added) might be causing the issue but i can't see why. Can anyone help me with this?
Thanks,
Billy

Sry, just to clarify, do you mean dynamic that the forms layout changes (eg hiding fields, adding rows, etc)? I'm asking only because you mentioned about data. So is the problem that rows are not being added and fields are not being hidden? Or that the data is not being imported into the form?
If its the second option, are you importing an xml data file? or is the data coming from a webservice? The things i would check are whether the form is properly bound, and the structure of the xml file you're importing while testing in designer (if you are importing a file) has the same structure of the data you're importing when in workspace.

New to CSS, text-align and line-height ok in 'Design', but not in browsers (IE 10 & Chrome) on Win8

I'm now learning CSS, and find that where I specify in an external style sheet

That, in DW Design, they look fine, but in Windows 8, IE 11 and ChromeVersion 31.0.1650.63 m   that the text-align: center; and the line-height: 3.0; are ignored.
I work around by specifying <tr align="center" height = "77">   shouldn't the text-align: center; and the line-height: 3.0; be specifiable in my CSS??

Not sure what it is you are trying to do but what you have at the moment is invalid code which is most likely why it doesn't work cross browser. (of cousre this css does not help - line-height: 3.0; - 3.0 what? - px, ems?)
Here's an example below of how you could do it. Give your table a class (below it is called .myTable) then you can start styling the <td> cell, and anything inside it by appending the element like an <h2> tag to the class name - .myTable h2
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<style>
.myTable {
    width: 900px;
    margin: 0 auto;
.myTable td {
font-family:Baskerville, "Palatino Linotype", Palatino, "Century Schoolbook L", "Times New Roman", serif;
width: 150px;
.myTable h2 {
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
text-align:center;
color: black;
font-size: 1em;
line-height: 50px;
word-spacing: 10px;
text-shadow: 3px 3px 5px #333;
.myTable a {
    display: block;
    text-align: center;
</style>

Style edits show up on web, but not on workspace

I'm new to Dreamweaver and have had some trouble that seems
to have developed fairly recently. When I first started I could
change the font sizes, colors and apply styles fine ... but now any
changes don't appear in my workspace. However, it seems they do
appear once that page is uploaded to the web. Part of my confusion
is I'm not sure exactly what to ask ... help?

JavaScript works when saving file as Dynamic or Static but not 6.0 compatible

I need to be make required fields not required when a form is submitted from a specific button. This gives the user the ability to save the form without having to complete it. I have this working using the following script when the form is saved as Dynamic or Static.
for (var i = 0; i < xfa.host.numPages; i++)
var fields = xfa.layout.pageContent(i, "field");
for (var j = 0; j < fields.length; j++)
var field = fields.item(j);
field.mandatory = "disabled";
But when the form is saved as Adobe 6.0 Compatible, it does not work. Can anybody explain to me why this is? And possibly help me convert this so it will work with Adobe 6.0 forms.
Thanks
Nate

But if I run that in terminal I get this:
anthony-computer:~ anthonyjk$ java -version
java version "1.5.0_13"Yes - commandline/Terminal, that's what I meant.
So long as the program doesn't use any 1.6-only features, then will it will compile OK both at school (using1.6) and at home (using 1.5). Eclipse can be told to produce .class files that are compatible with a particular runtime. In your case the school compiler was producing 1.6 class files that are no good when you take them home. Hence the need to recompile, telling Eclipse you want 1.5 compatible .class files.
Or - as I mentioned - download and install the most recent JDK for use at home. There'll be less confusion that way

Load xml works on designer but not works in adobe acrobat

Hi
I have load a xml file on the file -> properties of the form.
When I preview the pdf all works ok, but when I have saved the document and I have opened the pdf file with adobe acrobat. Then data hasn't loaded.
Somebody know what happen?
Thanks
Ruben

Unfortunately, Adobe no longer supports Acrobat 7. Not only that, but I don't believe it was ever supported in a Citrix environment.
You will need to upgrade to at least Acrobat 8 for general support (and official Citrix compatibility).

CSS Runs in Design, But Not Live

I added a CSS definition to "repeat-x" a 1px background image in DW CS4. I uploaded the page to my site and everything worked fine. After making a few additional changes (none to the CSS that I remember), the page stills displays correctly in design mode. However, as soon as I go live, I lose the background that I defined in CSS. What could be cuasing this problem?

Maybe you are refering to the background on the local PC, not the server?
As ever, a link to the site would help people to identify the problem.

Freeform Grid Formulas Update in Web Analysis Studio but not in Workspace

I have created a Web Analysis document that contains a freeform grid. The grid has only one data object, which is built on an Essbase data source. The freeform grid contains calculations that I have input. While working in the Web Analysis studio, I can change the subscription controls that modify the values in the freeform grid and my formulas update correctly. However, when I view the document in the Workspace, the formulas do not update when I use the subscription controls to select different members. Has anyone had a similar problem? And if so, how did you solve it?

Thanks for your thoughts, Andy. I think you may be right. I've logged a Support Call with Oracle. They're trying to reproduce the "error". I'll update this thread when there's a resolution so that others will know the status of freeform grids in the HTML Workspace under version 9.2.

Why is Image in design view but not in browser?

Why when I insert an image from root folder it shows in design but not in live view or browser? I have opened a new blank html page and still no image will show up.

Do you have an editable region in your main Template head tags?
Just so you know. Making a template out of an HTML document is just about the last step in your design process.
First build your prototype.html page so that everything performs well in all browsers. When you're completely satisfied with how it looks, then Save As Template.dwt.
Add editable regions for content that will change from page to page.
Spawn New page from template and save as index.html for your home page. Repeat for other site pages.

CSS rules show up in design mode, but not in live or in browser.

So some rules work in the browser some appear when in design mode, but not in live mode or in the browser.
In one case there is no competing rules I applied background color and border color to a dynamic table and I see the colors in design view. In another there is a competing rule, but the one that wins is #content, when the rule I want #content #footer p is (obviously) a compound and at the bottom of the rules.
Any thoughts?
Thanks
Gregg

AH In preparing my stylesheet to show you, I noticed the rule above those two was missing it's ending curly brace. Problem solved! That's what I get for checking code when I am sleepy!
Thank you SnakeEyez02

How come I can see my div in design view but not in live view

Hi,
I have a div ID called "portfolio" that I can see in design view but not live view or on a browser. It's a little pink square and I want that square round also.
I ran it through validator. It picked up some things in the style.css which I changed and the boilerplate.css that I did not. Because I thought DW auto creates code for boilerplate because I don't enter that code myself.
It's also rejecting a lot of webkit code but this seems like standard webkit code that works elsewhere on the page.
BTW: at what point does this brutal hand coding pay off in money and less heartache when Wordpress looks cleaner and is so much easier to use? I feel like I barely know HTML or CSS in terms of translating vision to reality and with all-browser functionality after months and months of on-line classes. How long are the pros at it till they reach a watershed point?
here's my address: http://www.adjacentdimensionsmedia.com/home.html
Here's my html:
<body>
<div class="gridContainer clearfix">
    <div id="div1" class="fluid"><img src="adtitle2.png" width="700" height="80" alt=""/></div>
<div class="fluid"><div class="box-shad"><a href="index.html"></a></div>
</div>
    <div id="portfolio">Portfolio</div>
</body>
Here's my CSS:
.box-shad {
margin-top: 200px;
margin-left: 100px;
width: 900px;
height: 700px;
display: block;
background-image: url("images/Big-tree-trans1.png");
background-size: 900px 700px;
-webkit-box-shadow: 15px 15px 15px #000000 inset;
box-shadow: 15px 15px 15px #000000 inset;
-webkit-border-radius: 50%;
border-radius: 50%;
position: fixed;
.box-shad a {
    display:block;
    width:900px;
    height:700px;
#portfolio {
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
margin-top: 0px;
margin-right: 200px;
margin-left: 200px;
margin-bottom: 0px;
border-radius: 75%;
-webkit-border-radius: 75% 75%;
background: pink;
top: -300px;
position: relative;

The top:-300 is putting that div above the top of the browser viewport. Fix that and you'll see the div.

Good day uzma
abidi
It has been long time since I used Webforms but it look to me like you are using the default options and if there is no data that return in the query then you will not see the PagerTemplate.
1. execute the SP from the SSMS.
2. make sure that you pass the correct @status while executing the SP from the ASPX.
3. check the SQL Server profiler, what query the SQL Server got.
4. Check if DataTable (dt) has data after filling it. else you do not get the "DataBind" part, and the PagerTemplate will not display.
* The basic code look ok in fast review. I might missed something. You should monitor it and get the line that make the issue.

Dynamic Where clause in 4.6C [Literals allowed but not variables]

Good afternoon-
We have a dynamic select statement that works perfectly in 4.7 ext 2, but is causing a short dump in 4.6C. The error in the short dump says:
The current ABAP/4 program attempted to execute an ABAP/4 Open SQL
statement containing a WHERE condition of the form WHERE (itab) or
WHERE ... AND (itab). The part of the WHERE condition specified at
runtime in the internal table itab contains an invalid
value "HDR_COMP_CODE". Literals are allowed as values, but not variables.
HDR_COMP_CODE is in incoming parameter to the function module that is calling this code. It is of type BKPF-BUKRS.
Here is the code:
DATA: BEGIN OF L_WHERE_CLAUSE OCCURS 0,
        TEXT_LINE(60) TYPE C,
END OF L_WHERE_CLAUSE.
CLEAR L_WHERE_CLAUSE.
IF NOT HDR_COMP_CODE IS INITIAL.

This EXACT query works in 4.7, has anyone run into this, or can they tell me why I might be getting the error?

Well, in this case, unless I'm missing something, you do not requre a dynamic WHERE clause. You can use RANGES instead.
report zrich_0001.

*TEXT_LINE(60) TYPE C,
*END OF L_WHERE_CLAUSE.
ranges: r_bukrs for t001-bukrs.
ranges: r_ktopl for t001-ktopl.
*CLEAR L_WHERE_CLAUSE.
IF NOT HDR_COMP_CODE IS INITIAL.
clear r_bukrs. refresh r_bukrs.
r_bukrs-sign = 'I'.
r_bukrs-option = 'EQ'.
r_bukrs-low = hdr_comp_code.
append r_bukrs.
SELECT SINGLE KTOPL
INTO LV_KTOPL
FROM T001
WHERE BUKRS = HDR_COMP_CODE.
clear r_ktopl. refresh r_ktopl.

Dynamic properties working in "normal KM" but not in XML forms

Hi all,
(EP 6.0 SP13)
I've implemented a Metadata Extension that returns a list of properties. The list is dynamically generated based on the folder the document is located in. I've tested the Metada Extension on both existing documents and new documents and it works fine in "normal" KM scenarios ( Word documents, file uploads, etc.).
The problem arises when I want to use these Dynamic properties in XML forms. I've added my property to a combox in the XML Forms project. When accessing the Metadata Extension from XML forms the resource path is always null. Since all my business logic is based on knowing where in the KM structure the document is, I have a small problem...
If I go to Details->Properties on the xml forms document and accesses my property there, the path is correct..
To get the resource path I use these two methods:
folder = metaContext.getResourcePath();
(for newly created documents)
folder = metaContext.getResource().getParentCollection().getRID().getPath();
(for existing documents)
these are null when calling my Metadata Extension from a XML Form.
Any ideas?
Vegard

Hi Vegard,
Could you post the code that loads/create the property objects dynamically?
Maybe you can post it at this forum Dynamic properties working in "normal KM" but not in XML forms
so I can award you some points.
Thanks in advanced,
André

Dynamic Parameter List works on desktop but not when run on Crystal Server

Hi,
I have a report, and the database command query takes one parameter ({?Year}. There is a second parameter used for a record select which is a dynamic paramenter list (multiple select, required). When running the report from Crystal Reports 2008 on my desktop, it first prompts for a year, and then once that is entered, it will come back with the list (of Companies) to select from. It works very smootly and as desired.
But when I load this report to Crystal Reports 2008 Server, it will ask for the year (which is a static list), and this is good, but then it comes back with an empty dynamic select list on the next screen.
Are there any special caveats that I need to be aware of in regards to dynamic lists when running from the CR server?
Thanks!

Hi Pat,
This should work but a couple of things to check:
1) Are the two parameters linked to the same database? If the parameters are linked to fields from different tables in different databases then you need to make sure you set the Database Configuration and have the report log on to both databases.
2) Are Crystal Reports and Crystal Server the same version? I had problems with parameters after we upgraded to 2008. We had to install the latest service packs for both Crystal 2008 and the Enterprise Server. Then we installed Crystal 2008 on the same machine the Enterprise Server was on. Crystal Reports and the Enterprise Server share some common files. Some of those files were updated for Crystal but not for the Enterprise Server yet. Once we synched them our reports have run fine.
Good luck,
Brian
