Easy question - set an image as a variable

I'm using CF7 so I don't have the cfimage tag yet. I need to
set a variable as an image. I'm using a cfswitch /case to determine
if a color should go in a box. I've set the background color's
successfully as the variable but now the customer wants it to be an
image and every option I try get's an error message of an invalid
cfml construct. Attached is the code - I thought this would be easy
but I'm not finding anything in the livedocs or in the forums.
Thanks for the help

Try this:
<cfset current_color ="<img
src='../graphics/circle_green.gif'>">

  • Follow Up Question about shadow Images

    Hello!
    A couple weeks ago I asked about drop shadows set with images
    and I was
    given some helpful
    advice. Something came up and I wasn't able to get back to
    putting the
    information into application until a couple days ago. Forgive
    my ignorance
    but another question has surfaced. Many here advocate that a
    serious web
    page maker learn the ins and outs of HTML and CSS. I have
    been making
    significant headway in both. Some unanswered questions
    persist and while I
    can ferit it out
    through more reading and experiementing, it seems best, for
    expedience sake
    to ask
    the question that is effecting my immediate situation. I have
    three images - top, center (this one repeats), and bottom -
    that I am trying
    to place as a background. Here is the CSS that I
    have written for the accasion, based on the advice given here
    on this forum.
    The problem I am having is applying the div tags in the
    correct manner that
    will give me the results I am looking for. Here is how the
    code renders
    through IE 7:
    http://www.ors-llc.com/AboutORS/experiment.html.
    As you see
    the images are not one continuous background image. Obviously
    I have
    something wrong here; can anyone advise?
    Thank you in advance.
    #middlediv {
    background-repeat: repeat-y;
    background-position:center;
    background-image:
    url(../Sitewide%20CSS,%20Images,%20etc/Images/Background%20Images%20for%20Text%20Area/mai nrepeat.gif);
    #bottomdiv {

  • How do I get the Measurement scale to stay set in Adobe Acrobat IX Pro. It's easy to set the scale , but when you exit out of the commend

    How do I get the Measurement scale to stay set in Adobe Acrobat IX Pro. It's easy to set the scale , but when you exit out of the commend the scale is reset to 1 = 1.

    Thank you for checking, Tom,
    I'm confused. What do YOU get when you push the feed button? And why is it working on yours and not either of my machines?
    Today, my Mac (w/Safari 4) gets the same error message: Safari can’t open the page Safari can’t open the page “feed:http://vibrationalvoyages/vibrationalvoyages.com/DivineLight_Vibrations_Principles_andApplications/rss.xml”. The error is: “The feed could not be loaded because the content is not in a known feed format.”
    My little ASUS (with a Linux operating system) gets a screen that says "The requested URL was not found". The URL on that page is http://vibrationalvoyages./vibrationalvoyages.com/DivineLight_Vibrations_Principles_andApplications/rss.xml
    On both error messages, the URL I was checking was:
    http://www.vibrationalvoyages.com/DivineLight_Vibrations_Principles_and_Applications/Divine_Light_Vibrations_Principles_ andApplications.html
    The last URL was, of course, the URL generated by iWeb.
    So, my question still is:
    HOW CAN I GET MY FEEDS TO WORK PROPERLY? If the problem is there shouldn't be an http:// after feed: then, how do I get iWeb to set it up properly?
    Any ideas?

  • Easy Question: Illegal Start of Expression

    This is a ridiculously easy question... but I am having trouble with it...
    Anyway, here is the line of code that is giving me trouble:
    jButtons = {{jButton1, jButton5, jButton9, jButton13},
    {jButton2, jButton6, jButton10, jButton14},
    {jButton3, jButton7, jButton11, jButton15},
    {jButton4, jButton8, jButton12, jButton16}};
            That's it. jButton1 through jButton16 are all jButton objects (for a GUI). jButtons is an array (4 by 4) of jButton. All are global variables, the buttons are all initilized (in fact, that was the problem I had before, and why I need to put this here: otherwise I get a null pointer exception).
    Surprisingly, such a simple line of code causes TONS of errors to occur. To save space, {...} * 2 means that the exception occurs twice in a row, errors are separated by comma's.
    { Illegal Start of Expression, {Not a statement, ; required} * 2} * 4, Empty statement
    A similar statement (int[] test = {{1,2,3},{4,5,6}};) works perfectly fine.
    Please help, doing this will reduce the size of my code to about a third of the size of the code. And then I can laugh in the faces of those people who say that I write long, and in-efficient code! MWHAHAHAHAHAHA!!
    However, I will keep at it, and Murphy's Law states I will find a solution 10 seconds after posting. If I do, I will edit this post, and tell you guys the answer ;)
    [Edit]In case you are wondering... all my other code is correct. Here is the adjacent 3 methods:

    You can only initialise an array like that when you declare it at the same time. Otherwise you have to do as suggested above.
    int[] numbers = {1,2,3,4}; //ok
    int[] numbers;
    numbers = {1,2,3,4}; // not ok

  • Easy question - how to increase number of recent files in menu?

    This is for CS5 if it matters.
    I'm an infrequent Illustrator user (at best) but I have what I hope is an easy question: I want to increase number of recent files showing in the menu.
    I can't find a preferece to set such as in PS and almost every other application on the face of the earth. I've tried to reset the preferences file (start Illustrator with ctrl-alt-shift held down) but I'm stuck at 4 files, which I assume is the anemic default option.
    Is there an easy way to do this that Adobe has hidded somewhere? As expected, it can't be found in the help, I can't find it on the forums, or even on the net, but I do know it can be done because I can see other installs showing lots of files in the list.
    thanks for any help.

    This might be because of a new feature that you can turn off for each object, and alltogether. When you create a new document at the bottom, make sure 'Align New Objects to Pixel Grid' is unchecked.  After you have created a new file, you can still go into the 'TRANSFORM' palette (SHIFT+8), use the little right top menu, and make sure 'Align New Objects to Pixel Grid' is unchecked. And if you want to get fancy with each object; you can select an object, and look at the 'TRANSFORM' palette at the bottom is a place to uncheck the 'Align to Pixel Grid' at your disposall.
    Before I found this, it ruined my week.

  • Can Preview adjust the color of a whole set of images?

    After a bit of digging, I finally persuaded Preview to load a set of images (of pages from an old book).
    When I try to print it, I find that the pages are basically black-on-dark-gray.  Is there a simple way
    to tell it to change the color balance to black-on-white, short of going through the images one at a
    time and editing the color balance (which could take a lot of time).  If not, is there some other tool
    that will do a reasonable job of doing the obvious sort of "exposure" shift to make a set of images
    of documents not waste a lot of toner painting the background gray?
    (I'm not at all clear on what would be an appropriate forum for this question, so I'm probably
    guessing wrong; could someone suggest a better one? ;-)

    Hi John,
    There are many options for making a gray object black. Here's a few:
    1. Image > Adjustments > Levels... (move shadows pointer)
    2. Image > Adjustments > Curves... (move shadow point)
    3. Control click on your layer (makes selection) fill with black
    4. Use you colour overlay effect layer choosing black as the overlay color

  • Setting JFrame Image Background

    Hi everyone, I'm kind of new to Java programming and so far I haven't been able to find a way to set the background of a JFrame to an image. I already know how to change the color but I need to set an image to the background and not just a color. So I was wondering if anybody knew where to find a simple tutorial or instructions on how to do this or if someone could simply explain it.
    Thanks for the help :)
    Edited by: neptune692 on May 3, 2009 1:37 PM

    Swing related questions should be posted in the Swing forum.
    I haven't been able to find a way to set the background of a JFrame to an imageReally? Thats hard to believe as this is one of the most common questions in the forum. What search keywords did you use? Maybe the last two (or three) words from your topic title would be a good start. And searching the Swing forum would be a good idea.
    I'm partial to my [Background Panel|http://www.camick.com/java/blog.html?name=background-panel] solution which does what the above postings suggest, plus provide a few other image painting options.

  • Can't set or retreive a $_GET variable

    I have a problem setting up and passing a variable in a search screen with paging..
    I set up the variable like so
    $townstr = sprintf("&townstr='%s'", $searchTown);              
    This variable is then added to the URL string when I click on the 'Next page';
    <a href="<?php printf("%s?pageNum_Get1=%d%s%s%s", $currentPage1, min($totalPages_Get1, $pageNum_Get1 + 1), $queryString_Get1,$tabstr,$townstr); ?>"> Next</a>   
    The problem in, when the page is loaded again to show the next screen, the $_GET variable $_GET['townstr'] is always empty,
    Any Ideas why it is not being set up.
    I displayed it straight after the href code and can't access it, although it's definitely there, as I can see it as part of the URL when I move over the link when running the program.

    That's a little confusing to me... once the recordset has been returned, the paging links should only be updating the display of the results that have already been returned.
    When I've done things like this, an events list for an organization for example, I would set the query like
    SELECT date, event, start_time
    FROM events
    WHERE some_field = some_variable
    Then, I create a repeating table showing, say, only 5 records at a time... then I just go to the "recordset paging" button and insert whatever "Next/Last/First/Previous" links that I want... as I page through the pages, it doesn't "forget" the search criteria, because that has already been set by the query.
    I realize I'm not answering your question, it just seems like what you're talking about shouldn't be happening. And the fact that it is seems to indicate something else may be going on.
    By the way, my "NEXT" button (on the first page of results) URL looks like this (this was set automatically by DW):
    mypage.php?pageNum_Recordset1=1&totalRows_Recordset1=24

  • How to set an image pattern as backround for a Shape + Copy shapes

    1.)
    Is there any way to set an image as background for a geometry shape (eg. Shapes.AddTriangle) similar like setting a 'Brush#' as background with LDShapes.BrushGradientShape ??
    In the image below, eg. the yellow triangle is a rectangular image shape with transparent regions, and therefor can with 'LDShapes.GetAllShapesAt(mouseX,mouseY)'
    also be accessed/grabbed in its transp. regions eg. green or red points etc., etc, aso.. and not only in the filled 3angular area, while a real 3angular geometry shape (like on the left side) would NOT (here only
    inside the triangle area itself). I tried 'LDShapes.SetImage' but this is for image shapes/controls and did'nt work here.
    Or maybe anyone has a better solution for a more natural looking wooden 'Brush' (as alternative for a real triangle shape with gradient).
    2.)
    Is there a way to copy an existing shape/control (with its basic properties like color, text, size, vertices count, ..) to another, like LDImage.Copy does for images ??
    eg. i can simply copy an array and an image from one variable to an other variable, like
    ' arr1 copied to arr2
    arr1 = "1=1;2=2;3=4;4=8;5=16;6=32;"
    arr2 = arr1
    TextWindow.WriteLine(arr2)
    TextWindow.WriteLine(arr1)
    or
    ' img1 copied to img2 (ImageList1)
    GraphicsWindow.Show()
    img1 = ImageList.LoadImage("picPath")
    img2 = img1
    GraphicsWindow.DrawImage(img2,50,50)
    GraphicsWindow.DrawImage(img1,200,200)
    but following does'nt work
    ' Ellipse1/Text1/Image1/Button1/...  is just an object with two names: shp1 and shp2
    GraphicsWindow.Show()
    shp1 = Shapes.AddEllipse(10,10)        'or Shapes.AddText("ABC") or Shapes.AddImage("picPath") or Controls.AddButton("Demo",0,0)
    Shapes.Move(shp1, 100,100)
    shp2 = shp1
    Shapes.Move(shp2, 50,50)
    Shapes.Move(shp1, 200,200)
    Not so important (only for interest), but maybe anyone has a trick for this, to copy such objects instead of creating them new.

    Yep, that made the rest of my whole day!! Works excelllent in the demo, and i'm just replacing all the  Image<->Triangle commands. Wonderfulll & thanks a lot, LitDev. (enjoint the sb sample in your Test-DL :-))
    PS:
    Controls.SetTextBoxText(Controls.AddTextBox(10,10), "Enter your name here...")
    Controls.AddButton(".. then press the Button", 180,10)
    LDGraphicsWindow.Capture("","")
    GraphicsWindow.Clear()
    GraphicsWindow.DrawImage("ImageList1", 0,0)

  • How to set background image in jlist

    Hi all
    is there a way for setting an image as jlist 's background?
    I need that this image is trasparent.
    Any idea or usefull link?
    Regards

    Swing related questions should be posted in the Swing forum, but there is no need to repost since all the information is available to you in the forum or the API.
    First, read the JList API and follow the link to the Swing tutorial on "How to Use Lists". It will show you how to create a custom renderer. You will need by make your renderer non-opaque to see the background image.
    Next you can search the Swing forum for examples of how to add an image as a background image. Most of the examples are for a JPanel, but the concept is the same.

  • Using Smart Album to Set Desktop Images

    Aperture 3.2.1 and OS X 10.7.2
    I'm trying to set my desktop picture to rotate through an Aperture Smart Album.  Not that it should matter, but the Smart Album is basic -- one star or better, Stack Picks Only.  That Smart Album is easy to set up in Aperture and there it works as expected.  But in the Screen Saver & Desktop module in System Preferences, upon choosing that same album, the browser shows all of the versions in each stack, whether they're the pick or not.  In Aperture, of course, I only get the Pick because I have that option enabled. 
    Any thoughts on why this is happening?

    Smart albums containing images from stacks behave differently when used to create a product (Media browser, MobileMe Gallery, SlideShow, PhotoBook).
    The common effect seems to be that the option "stack picks only" determines how the album is viewed in Aperture, but not, what will be included, when you use images that are part of a stack for a product. With Photo Books, Slideshows, and Galleries you will only get the Stack picks included, regardless of the "stack picks only" setting. Only the Media Browser seems to respect the option "stack picks only". when this option is not set, all images in the stacks will be used on the Desktop or in the screensaver, when it is set, only the stackpicks will show.
    But in the Screen Saver & Desktop module in System Preferences, upon choosing that same album, the browser shows all of the versions in each stack, whether they're the pick or not.
    That behaviour I cannot confirm. I defined several smart albums with stacks, and only the stack picks did show up in the Deskstop and Screensaver preferences, also in the Media Browser in Pages and iWeb, when the option"stack picks only"  was set. But I was careful to quit  both Aperture and "System Preferences", before changing the Screensaver settings.

  • Lightroom color cast question of JPEG image

    Lightroom color cast question of JPEG image
    Camera Canon MKII Color Matrix Adobe RGB
    Photoshop CS Color Setting Adobe RGB (1998)
    Lightroom 1.2 as new lightroom user I did not think that I needed to choose a color setting or color profile until I am ready to print my photos. I have not done any preset camera calibration.
    Link to my website with example photo http://www.basecampphotos.com/color.jpg
    My question is why is Lightroom displaying the images with a yellow color cast ? The image is a print screen from Lightroom on the left and Photoshop on the right The color cast problem can be seen in the white walls of the stairway. Also when viewing the image with Windows Picture and Fax viewer the walls are white as expected.
    Any ideas or suggestions as to why Lightroom is displaying the images with the yellow color cast or what I need to do to correct the issue ?
    Thanks

    Almost definitely a corrupt monitor profile. Time and again this turns out to be the cause of such differences between PS and LR. You need to recalibrate the monitor or if you do not have a hardware calibrator, delete the profile from windows' monitor properties pane to test and then get a hardware calibrator.
    P.S since you are using adobeRGB jpegs, Windows picture and Fax viewers cannot give you the correct colors even on a calibrated monitor. Those are not color managed programs (I believe picture viewer finally is in Vista but definitely not in XP which you appear to be using). Also, PS has to be correctly set up to always preserve embedded profiles and to ask when you have profile mismatches, otherwise even PS will give incorrect color. Make sure to set this up in Edit>Color settings.
    P.S.2: Make sure you are not applying defaults in Lightroom to your images either on import or elsewhere. Sometimes people by accident define develop defaults that in this case might contain a white balance shift. Go to LR preferences and open the Presets tab. Here click on "Reset all default Develop settings" and make sure that only the auto grayscale checkbox is ticked. For images that it might have already happened to, make sure to hit the reset button.

  • How do I set an image as a background for a course homepage?

    I am trying to set a background image for when people visit the homepage (like MOMA and others). Yet, I can't find where/how to do that. Is there any documentation that people of found for the design side of creating an iTunes U course and nav?
    thx,
    Matthew

    Since you are asking in the Course Manager forum, I am puzzled by your question. As a teacher, you can set an image for your course, but there aren't background images for individual courses.
    If you are talking about the institutional pages in the iTunes U section of the iTunes Store, your institution's page is managed by your site administrator (using Public Site Manager), so contact him or her to make the change.

  • Freezing a set of images - For protection again any future changes

    Hi,
    my workflow looks often like this: I import a set of images in a folder like "TODO-xxxxx", then I edit them, and when I finished all editing, I rename the folder to e.g. "Finished-xxxxx".
    Now I would like to prevent any changes to these images. So I would like to have a facility in LR which freezes these images. And I would like to see a visual hint (icon or something like this)  so I can easily see what is frozen and what not.
    Additionally it would be a good thing if the frozen image files are also set to read-only on the OS file system.
    Thanks.
    Regards,
    Manfred

    John,
    As much as I don't appreciate you putting me down, you have raised a good point about the value of a plugin for "rescueing" this Lightroom shortcoming:
    Please just ignore if you are tired of me going on... This part aimed more at Manfred and other on-lookers than John:
    I used to make inadvertent edits far more often than I do now - mostly just by being especially careful, especially with auto-sync.
    And, when I made these edits by mistake, it was difficult-to-impossible to tell where I was before, in order to get back. What's changed since then is the 'Export {date}' item added to the history list - which is a godsend IMO. Since I always export after finishing edits, it is easy to see,  when looking at an individual photograph if inadvertent edits have been made, and I simply click on the last 'Export {Date}' item to restore.
    If the 'Export {Date}' item had not been added to the history list, I would have written this plugin in short order.
    If your workflow does not include promptly exporting after finished editing, another thing you can do is make a snapshot called something like: "Finished...", then you can see if edits have been made after this snapshot was taken...
    Granted, this only allows you to see whether an inadvertent edit has been made when viewing a single photo in develop mode. Where a plugin could still provide some added value is in being able to see in library mode, and being able to filter/collect photos with inadvertent edits. And also assuring that even if they get written to the catalog, they are never written to xmp/dng (or at least not without a prompt).
    Worth an Lr3 plugin, until we see what Lr4 brings, me-thinks... Gimme a "minute"......
