EPUB 3 - block of text overlapping the page

Hi.
I'm trying to complete an Epub (school book).
The challenge is, for exercises, to have the answer ready to be displayed when you hit a button (or the question iself).
I could do it, using java and the 'display:none' / 'display:inline' toggle.
BUT, if this text comes to the end of a chapter and a new page has to be created and it is not; we the loose either a portion of the answer, or portion of normal text.
That leads to question 1: is there a way to allow the chapter expands to one (or more) page(s) dynamically (and be reduced as well, of course, when needed).
OR (second challenge and question 2): is there a way to have this answer coming as a popup, a box of text on top of the current page.
I could do make this work in a 'normal' browser (z-index:200), but nothing happens on the Ipad, OR the blocks is displayed ... at the very beginning of the file (start of chapter; possibly several pages ahead ...), depending of value for 'position', either 'relative', or 'absolute'.
All this is Epub3, of course, read with IBooks.
Thanks for your valuable help !

Moving the center raises the first line of text... that would work, if all my text could fit in the lower half of a frame...
The problem is that I cannot start with text anywhere in the top half of a the frame--that I know of.
Similarly, if I enter text that falls onto two lines, the first line is centere vertically, while the second sits below it. If I want both lines centeres, I have to MOVE the center of the frame. It doesn;t make sense to me that there is not a way to vertically center EVREYTHING I type.

  • How do you make the title bar display different text than the page title?

    I'm looking for a way for the title bar display of my web page to be different than the text in the actual nav bar created by iWeb. For instance, I'd like the nav bar to just say Home for my main page, but in the title bar in the browser say "blah blah blah."
    I know there has to be a way to do this. iWeb has actually done it on one page already, but I can't figure out how. I think it picked up the title bar text from the first text box in the page. For instance, the page name in the navigation bar is "blahs for today" but the browser title bar when you open that page says "blah blah," which happens to be the first line of text on the page. The page title in iWeb.app, though, is "blahs for today." But if I look at the source code it lists title as "blah blah."
    I'm guessing I might be able to work around by making an invisible text box with the text that I want in the title bar as the very first thing on the page, and hope iWeb makes that the title bar text. I'd rather have a more correct way of doing it.
    Is there a way of doing this in the source code without having to change a lot of stuff?
    Thanks for any help.

    Richard ~ The key is the default Title box that iWeb creates for every new page — it's that which you need to edit, not another text box you've created. And to make the text in that Title box invisible, see here.

    Question already asked and answered several times.
    It's a bug striking in long documents.
    Select a word somewhere higher in the page then use the arrows to reach the wanted insertion point.

  • I have been unable to print from FF to Brother HL-1440. print generate pages w/odd bits of text from the page, and sometimes one image. If I want to print off the web, I have to print PDF. Older versions of FF print fine.

    I downloaded OpenOffice and am able to print documents (in particular, the same document I created in MS Word). I guess MS Word is to blame. I believe the issue is concluded, but I'd welcome any comments about the Active Directory, as I might have a problem
    with OpenOffice in the future regarding that.

  • Moving Instruction text to the page footer

    Hi,
    How to show a instruction text at the page footer.
    Note: As of now I have put the instruction text as 'Page Status' and it appears as the first line int he page body.
    Thanks,
    Gowtam

    Gowtam ,
    Putting Moving Instruction text to the page footer can be accomplished by using RawTextbean. In that u can use html code which makes the text move.

  • How do I highlight selected text in the Pages, Keynotes?

    How do I highlight selected text in the Pages, Keynotes?

    To answer your question foor your iOS Device using Pages or Keynote for iOS: You can't highlight as you might in many note taking apps for iPad, etc.
    The best you can do at this point is to change the selected text's color by selecting the text > Style Menu (wrench) > Tap on the Font > Tap on the Color Box to reveal choices.
    If you would like to join the chorus of folks wishing such a feature were in Pages and Keynote, you can leave feedback for the people at Apple:

  • Using nested styles to break blocks of text into different pages

    Hello everyone,
    I'm treating data collected through a Google Docs form and I've already set it up so that the questions appear on the left and are followed by the respective answers sequentially so that I have a simple way to copy paste the whole information to Indesign. Then I'm going to use nested styles to define individual styles for the questions and answers.
    What I can't do, however... and I'm not even sure if it's possible, is how to tell Indesign to break text that is laid out sequentially into different lines or to break blocks of text so that they start in the beggining of the next page without having to resize the text frames by hand.
    As a visual example this is what the data I've exported out of excel looks like:
    Question 1 (tab) Answer A1 (line break)
    Question 2 (tab) Answer A2 (line break)
    Question 3 (tab) Answer A3 (line break)
    Question 1 (tab) Answer B1 (line break)
    Question 2 (tab) Answer B2 (line break)
    Question 3 (tab) Answer B3 (line break)
    (and so on in groups of 3 questions)
    And I want to turn it into:
    Question 1 (turn the tabs into line breaks)
    Answer A1
    Question 2
    Answer A2
    Question 3
    Answer A3
    (and then start at the beggining of a new page)
    Question 1
    Answer B1
    Question 2
    Answer B2
    Question 3
    Answer B3
    I can't define the size of the text frames so that the next group of questions+answers starts at the beggining of a new page because some of the answers are multi-line fields and thus the number of lines of the answers are variable and they can come short of the text frame edge or pass it.
    Can anyone share some insight of how to do this (or if it is at all possible)?
    Thank you very much!

    Thank you very much for your input.
    I'm trying to automate this process as much as possible because I don't want to have to crunch the data manually myself later on, instead just teach someone else how to do it.
    The first search and replace action seems basic enough but regarding the second one I would have to manually assign that paragraph style to the line where the data would break because one can only assign character styles in nested styles, right?
    Also I've heard that ID CS5 automatically creates new pages based on a template when you paste information inside the first page, is that so? That would be great because that way the person wouldn't have to manually create pages and link the contents throughout the document but instead simply open my template and paste the information within the first master page. That's not possible with CS4, is it?
    Thank you very much!

  • Newbie Mac user:  Selecting block of text via the keyboard only?

    Hi,
    I'm switching over to a Mac from a PC and haven't been able to find an answer to this question. How do I select a block of text only by using the keyboard?
    As an example, on the PC from wherever the cursor is in a document, if I then hit Ctrl-Shift-end, the entire rest of the document from the cursor down is selected. Another similar task would be to select all of the text from the cursor to the end of the line, which on the PC can be done with Shift-end.
    Are there Mac equivalents?
    Thanks.

    MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.10)
    MacBook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    COMMAND-SHIFT-end to select from the cursor to the end of the line. COMMAND-SHIFT-pagedown selects from cursor to end of document, use pageup to select entire document.
    Other alternatives:
    Press SHIFT and use the right arrow key to select characters. Use OPTION-SHIFT and right arrow to select words. COMMAND-right arrow key moves cursor to end of line and OPTION-right arrow moves cursor to next word.

    In many instances wherever Windows uses CTRL in a shortcut the Mac uses COMMAND (Apple Key - ⌘)

  • MacBook with 10.6.6 using Firefox 3.6.13. Parts of many websites not loading properly, from banking to Google searches. I'll see some of the text on the page, but most is missing.

    Example: I do a Google search using the word 'Firefox' and see most of the Google upper left corner details but no info or URLs actually load so no searching can be done.
    If I copy and paste a chunk of the page, I do see the text that should be visible, but is not.
    Is there a way of sharing screen grabs? Easier than describing this.

    No I'm not using NoScript, but I'm pleased to report that the problem got resolved by deleting the original bookmark, logging in again, opening Google calendar, then bookmarking it again.

  • How can I trim shapes that overlap the page?

    I am working on a 270 page holiday brochure. I usually work with Photoshop, but I know this isn't ideal for brochures, so have been working along side another designer with InDesign. I've picked up nearly everything to get me going which is great. However, I am stuck on the best practice for the background.
    The idea is that every page with a hotel will have the same background style, which is made up of a couple of circle shapes that are slightly different shades. The circles go off the edges of the page, to basically just form a curve across the page. Each different destination will have these shapes in different colours, so the client would like to be able to change the colours around once I hand the brochure over to them.
    I can work with what I have now, but it is looking a bit ugly having huge circles exiting the edges of the page in "Normal" view.
    Is it possible to cut off the rest of the shape which isn't inside the bleed?

    And: you need a group inside a rectangle to drag something new inside of the rectangle from outside using the Layers Panel (as shown in my post #7). So the advice Peter has given is a essential one.
    Even if you currently need one single object inside the main rectangle, I would suggest adding a group first.
    A second object could be a tiny rectangle without a fill and a stroke color. So later you can add other objects inside by using the Layers Panel and dragging objects to that group.
    Removing the second object from the group when inside the rectangle will be no good idea, because the groupness will be destroyed in the same moment you remove an object in a two-object-group. You will bot be able to add another object by dragging.
    Said that, by scripting we could generate a single-object group by having two objects in a group using the following script snippet code (ExtendScript/JavaScript). Just select one object or more and run the following code:
    //ExtendScript (JavaScript)
    //Remove all selected objects:
    //DESCRIPTION:By selecting all objects in a group BUT a single one, the remaining object will stay as part of a group!
    //Uwe Laubender
    if(app.selection.length === 0){
        alert("Nothing selected. Try again.");
        exit();
    for(var n=app.selection.length-1; n>=0; n--){
        app.selection[n].remove();
    alert("All selected objects removed.");
    Before running the script snippet:
    After running the script snippet:
    As you can see the rectangle that is left remains inside a group. What we have here is a single object "group".
    And you can always drag objects inside that "group".

  • Part of page "image" overlaps the page when printed.  How do I fix this?

    When printing from Acrobat 10.1.5, part of the contents of the page prints on top of the page itself.  In my most recent case, the page is landscape.  The portion of the page that overprinted is from the bottom center about 1 inch wide and 4 inches tall.  It ended up on the top right of my page.
    Portrait example - a similar sized "piece" from the middle of the 8.5" length, about 1 inch tall and 4 inches wide printed on the top left of my portrait page.
    I have tried the quick fix - print as image - but that doesn't change anything.  Help!

  • Working in code view selects whole blocks of text when a page is opened for the first time

    This is really annoying feature of dreamweaver, I assume it serves a purpose but I do not know what it is. If I open a document (I generally always work in code view) then select the area I wish to, say, copy and then press control and c, the whole block of code becomes selected (so my selection expands). That isn't what I selected so why does it do this? If I click outside the code view - on to css styles for example - then I can now select the lines of code I want and can work with the code as intended. If I save the document, tab to another document in dreamweaver and tab back again, the same happens. So, everytime I open a document I have to click CSS styles before I can work with the document as intended. I've been working with this for a while and it's go to the point where it makes me cry. It's not quite as annoying as working with the old ftp service but it's not far off.

  • If I highlight text in a pdf, all the text on the page disappears when I next open the saved document. How to retrieve my text?

    When I use the highlight tool in a pdf document and then save the document, the next time I open the document the highlight is still there, but the whole page does not contain any text anymore. Totally blank. How do I retrieve my text?

    Well, you need a PDF viewer – and that would be Adobe Reader.
    Those parameters only work for web-served documents, not for local ones.
