Expanding Cells Problem

Hi,
Can you tell me why these table cells on the left are spacing
like this please?
link removed
They are supposed to look like this -

This problem arises quite often. Is there a way to lock the
table?
Thank you for your time.

Expanding Box Problem

I have been working all morning to add a horizontal spry menu
bar to the menu_bar section of the Mother Earth Template (
http://www.webshapes.org/template/details/id/200702247034127204)
from Webshapes (
http://www.webshapes.org/)
Anyway, I had to do some crazy positioning to get the
submenus to lign up with the menus and now the submenus will not
display in IE because of an 'expanding box problem' All of the
problems are associated with either my "ul.MenuBarHorizontal ul" or
my "ul.MenuBarHorizontal ul ul"
Can anyone help me with this? I am a beginner with
Dreamweaver and have been having a lot of troubles with it.
Thanks.

Hello Tom, Is it a template related error message?
I would suggest you to use percentages when setting the width
and height values.

Spry Vertical Submenu - Expanding Box Problem, white background

Hello everyone. I've recently incorporated a Spry Vertical Menu on my site for the first time and I'm experiencing problems with the submenu in IE7. (Things look fine in FF, Safari, and Opera.) A white box appears behind the text area (the "bios" and "contact us" links). And....In IE6 the entire menu bar becomes a horizontal mess.
I've come to learn that this is called an Expanding Box Problem but I don't know how to fix it. Perhaps this is seperate issue from the white panel issue altogether. I dunno. Can anyone be of assistance? I've been trying to solve this problem for days.

Lightroom 5.3 does not show image info tooltips in grid view expanded cells

In my copy of Lightroom 5.3, image info tooltips do not show in the grid view expanded cells even though that option is activated in view options. Is this an issue with Lightroom 5.3? (Note: Image info tooltips in grid view compact cells and the filmstrip do display, however.)

I don't think it ever has. I've just checked back through all versions from Lightroom 2, and don't get the same information in Expanded Cell view as I do in Compact Cell view.
So not a specific issue with LR5.3, more likely either it's "as designed" or one of those very long-standing bugs that haven't been fixed.

Your CSS Layout has a provision for clearing floats but I don't see it in your HTML markup.
Insert a float clearing <br> <p> or <hr> right above your footer division like so:
<hr class="clearfloat" />

[CS2/CS3 JS] Merged Cell Problem...

Hi,
Below is a part of my script that has been giving me a problem with merged cells:
if (myTable.cells.item(h).bottomEdgeStrokeWeight > 0.5) {
myTable.cells.item(h).bottomEdgeStrokeWeight = 2;
myTable.cells.item(h).bottomEdgeStrokeType = "Thick - Thick";}
Everytime the script passes on a merged cell, it quits and it only do changes on the first cell of the merged cells. Once I run my script again, it quits with error because the first cell of the merged cells now has a different stroke weight than the rest of the merged cells.
Is there a way to apply stroke on merged cells? And what is the parameter for UNMERGE? Thanks.

Hi Joaquin,
Here are a few examples – hope it helps.
Kasyan
// lets assume myTable has 4 rows and 4 columns
myTable = app.activeDocument.stories[0].tables[0];
myStartCell = myTable.cells.item("0:0"); // cell in the 1st column and 1st row
myEndCell = myTable.cells.item("0:3"); // cell in the 1st column and 4th row
myStartCell.merge(myEndCell);
// now merged cells have become the cell in the 1st column and 1st row
myMergedCell = myTable.cells.item("0:0");
myMergedCell.unmerge();
// merge/unmerge the last row
myTable.cells.item("0:3").merge(myTable.rows.item(-1));
myTable.cells.item("0:3").unmerge();
// merge/unmerge the last column
myTable.columns.item(-1).cells.item(0).merge(myTable.columns.item(-1).cells.item(-1));
myTable.columns.item(-1).cells.item(0).unmerge();

JTree with XML content expand/collapse problem

Hello all,
I'm having this very weird problem with a JTree I use to display the contents of an XML file. I use the DOM parser (and not JDOM since I want the application to run as an applet as well, and don't want to have any external libraries for the user to download) and have a custom TreeModel and TreeNode implementations to wrap the DOM nodes so that they are displayed by the JTree.
I have also added a popup menu in the tree, for the user to be able to expand/collapse all nodes under the selected one (i.e. a recursive method).
When expandAll is run, everything works fine and the children of the selected node are expanded (and their children and so on).
However, after the expansion when I run the collapseAll function, even though the selected node collapses, when I re-expand it (manually not by expandAll) all of it's children are still fully open! Even if I collapse sub-elements of the node manually and then collapse this node and re-expand it, it "forgets" the state of it's children and shows them fully expanded.
In other words once I use expandAll no matter what I do, the children of this node will be expanded (once I close it and re-open it).
Also after running expandAll the behaviour(!) of the expanded nodes change: i have tree.setToggleClickCount(1); but on the expanded nodes I need to double-click to collapse them.
I believe the problem is related to my implementations of TreeModel and TreeNode but after many-many hours of trying to figure out what's happening I'm desperate... Please help!
Here's my code:

The collapseAll, expandAll code (even though I m pretty sure that's not the problem since they work fine on a normal JTree):

         Object node=tp.getLastPathComponent();
         TreeModel model=tree.getModel();
         if (!model.isLeaf(node)){
              tree.collapsePath(tp);
              for (int i=0;i<model.getChildCount(node);i++){
              //for (int i = node.childCount()-4;i>=0;i--){
                   collapseAll(tp.pathByAddingChild(model.getChild(node,i)));
              tree.collapsePath(tp);
    private void expandAll(TreePath tp){
         if (tp==null) return;
         Object node=tp.getLastPathComponent();
         TreeModel model=tree.getModel();
         if (!model.isLeaf(node)){
              tree.expandPath(tp);
              for (int i=0;i<model.getChildCount(node);i++){
              //for (int i = node.childCount()-4;i>=0;i--){
                   expandAll(tp.pathByAddingChild(model.getChild(node,i)));

Hi,
Iam not facing this problem. To CollapseAll, I do a tree.getModel().reload() which causes all nodes to get collapsed and remain so even if I reopen them manually.
Hope this helps.
cheers,

Table cell problem

I have a table to hold a page together.
one of my rows is split into 2 cells. one is supposed to be
360 wide and the other 400. Table is 760 wide.
For some reason the left hand cell which should be 360 has
expanded out to 760. when i look at the table structure the green
guide info says 360 (760). How has this happened and how can I
change it. Every where i look nowhere shows the figures in the
brackets.
Any help would be appreciated as my right hand side cell has
disappeared from the screen

[UIX] Tree - expanded state problem

Hi,
I'm experiencing problemswith my UIX Tree.
In my tree I expanded some nodes (so I can view its contents :))
Normally when I browse to some other pages and come back to the page containing the tree, it remembered the state in which I left it (same nodes still expanded). When I decide to insert new data (through a form page)to the database of which the tree 'feeds' itself, I get errors when browsing back to the page containing the tree, because it remembers its last state (which is nolonger valid, because of new records).
What I want is that I can go back to the page containing my tree, with the tree refreshed (containing my newly inserted data) and still leave those nodes expanded that expanded earlier.
Is this possible? (And is my problem clear? ;) )
Gr.
Philip

I'm afraid our proxy does not support mutable trees. The only way to have it work at all is to create a new proxy when you mutate the tree data, which means you will not be able to save the expanded/collapsed state.
This won't help you now, but ADF UIX is being migrated to ADF Faces which is based on JSF. In that realease mutable trees will be supported. There are early access releases of ADF Faces available here if you're interested:

Table cells - Problem with merged cells

Hi
I was experiencing very weird behavior with my tables until I realized that it was caused by merged cells
My script gives a dialog which allows the user to choose from which column to start and from which row.
As the script iterates through the cells in the selection I was getting weird results
Through using .select() function I was able to see that depending on the column, some times row 5 could be which seems to be row 3!
The reason was because of merged cells in that row
I.e., when some cells are merged together, only the first column of those merged cells is recognized - the others are not
so it comes out that when merging cells from column 3 to 5, column 3 has a cell in that row, columns 4 and 5 do not, and column 6 does!
Is there a way to get around this behavior?
Thanks
Davey

I don't understand the point of your post.
If you're trying to report a problem or "bug" with Pages, that is not the purpose of this user-to-user forum. You should leave feedback for the Pages team on this page.
I've not had a problem opening Word files with tables in Pages. If you're saying Word can't handle tables with merged cells, then don't use merged cells in files you are going to export as Word. Word & Pages must handle merged table cells differently, as I know both can do that. As far as RTF, Pages can open & export as RTF. Again, if you are going to export as RTF, don't use tables. Neither of these is a fault of Pages, just limitations of the formats/programs.

Editing non-tree cells problem in JTreeTable

Hello all,
I've been playing around with the JTreeTable for quite a while and have a fairly good grip on it. However, I've run into a problem that involves the display of cell data in the non-tree cells.
Assume I have a JTreeTable with one node below the root (and the root node is not displayed). Also assume I've edited some information in one of the other cells in a 5-celled JTreeTable. The JTreeTable behaves normally with regard to editing/setting the values of the table cells.
Now, with the click of a separate button, I programmatically create a new node in the JTree. I update the JTree model with a call to nodeChanged() and nodeStructureChanged() (or I could call reload() - both seem to work).
This successfully adds a node, but in the process clears the entire remainder of the table's cell values. If I call fireTableDataChanged(), then the display of the JTree gets all screwed up (basically what happens to the display if you add/remove nodes, but don't update the display in a JTree). Not only that, but the fireTableDataChanged() method still does not redisplay my cell information for the remainder of the table.
I'm at a loss to figure out what's responsible for this. The tableCellRenderer seems to work just fine until I add node. Even then, the tableCellRenderer for the JTree still works until I call fireTableDataChanged().
Any ideas?
Thank you,
Brion Swanson

I use a JTreeTable and in looking at my code, I've
noticed that I make use of treeTable.repaint() fairly
frequently (as whenever I update my stuff).Did the treeTable.updateUI do funky things to your JTree? It does on mine if I do a programmatic node addition or removal (basically any change to the tree structure will cause treeTable.updateUI() to completely destroy the display of the tree). This is a separate issue, but I thought I'd ask anyway since you seem to have run into at least a few of the same problems I'm experiencing.
I don't fully understand your problem<snip/>
do you mean
it drops all edits you have done?Yes, it drops all the edits except the one currently being "edited" (that is, the selected editable cell will not lose it's value).
I had a problem about it dropping the edits I had
done and I resolved them by adding key listeners
and played with the TableCellEditor.Could you elaborate on what you did to the TableCellEditor and which object you had listening to the keys (the table? or the tree? or something else?).
You help is greatly appreciated!

Range Expander Connection Problem

I have installed a range expander. However my laptop continues to connect to the weaker signal from my router. There is a PS3 in the same location as the laptop and that connects to the range expander just fine.
Any suggestions to what the problem might be

Well try doing a complete network power cycle i.e., unplug the power cables from the modem & from the router & then plug in the power cable to the modem first once all the lights are solid green you could plug in the power cable to the
router & check out it will definately work!!

[iPhone] Custom UITableViewController and selecting cell problem.

Hello,
I'm creating a custom table view controller by declaring a UIViewController and adopting the UITableViewDataSource and UITableViewDelegate protocol.
With my current implementation, if I select a cell to transition to another view and then navigate back to the tableview, the cell will remain selected.
There must be some delegate method I am not implementing.
If I update the header file of my table view controller by removing the adopted protocols and subclassing the UITableViewController, I dont have this "selection sticking" problem.
Any ideas as to what I am doing wrong?
Thanks!

You're not doing anything wrong, except by omission. If you choose to implement a table view controller as a UIViewController rather than a UITableViewController, you are responsible for controlling selection/deselection of the cells on returning back to the table view from some child view. In the common case where something going on in the child controller affects what cell should be selected/deselected on returning back to the parent table view, this is exactly what you want, because the UITableViewController doesn't always get it right, to sometimes comical effect.
How you would set this up is highly context-dependent.

Expanding Cells?

Hi,
I have posted about this problem before, I initailly thought
it was because of spletting and merging cells, however I have
removed these cells and replaces them with nested tables yet the
problem is still here.
On my page www.bethhockley.com/ptihome2.htm I want the images
in a vertical line on the left to line up with the blue
backgrounded text box on the right. In IE it looks just how i want
it, however in Safari the box is far longer than it should be.
Does anyone know how to make it line up in safari without
upsetting the way it currently works in IE?
My external CSS is at

This problem has been driving me crazy for weeks!
Thanks,
Beth H

oh and that won't be enough.
The blue background is applied to the table in the cell if I
understand your code correctly?
The blue background should be abpplied to the right cell
(right td) of the table that contains both
the left images and the right text.
The idea is that these two cells will always have the same
height, but the table containing the text
won't be as hight as the left cell...

Text in a Cell Problem

http://martinpaulphotography.com/About.html
The text on my about page is currently a graphic. I want it
to be live text. I deleted the graphic and typed into the cell. It
looked fine in DW but when I preview it in my browser the text is
not constrained vertically within the cell. Instead it shifts the
cell below it out of position? How do I get the text to stay in the
cell without shifting other cells out of position?
Hope this makes sense.
Thanks,
Martin.

Hi Martin,
What I had been referring to was just using the image as the
page background, not a table background.
It wouldn't need to go into a table or another container as a
background, it would have just been applied to the body of the
page.
Regardless, I see what you mean by the logo being different
on the home page so here's another way which should work for you.
There are any number of ways to do this and variations on the
things I'm about to mention, but this should be a good place to
start.
So, it's just the logo part of the image that's different
between the pages, and that looks like it's about the top 1/4 of
the image.
The bottom 3/4 of the image is the same on every page.
Slice your home page image horizontally just below the logo
reflection.
Now you have two images, the top half with the logo and the
bottom half.
The bottom half is the same on all pages, so you can just use
that on all pages.
You'll need another image, exactly the same as this top image
but with the weaker logo for the other pages.
You have one more image: The image that tiles your
background.
So, you'll have 4 images all together used in the basic page
design.
To avoid confusion, I'll call them bright logo, weak logo,
bottom half and tile.
You aren't going to need all of the javascript anymore
either, as you won't need to load all the image slices or use
rollover images.
This example will build the "About Us" page you originally
asked about.
So, start with a new page where all you have are the basics:
doctype, html, head, body, title and your meta tags.
By the way, change this tag: <META
NAME="CONTACT_ADDR"="[email protected]>
to this:
<META NAME="CONTACT_ADDR" CONTENT="[email protected]">
Let's deal with the tiling background first.
You have that applied as a table background currently, but
you can just apply it to the body of the page so there's no need
for a 100% wide table for a background effect.
Just before your </head> tag, add this CSS to style the
body so it looks like this :
<style type="text/css">
body {
padding: 0;
margin: 0 0 0 0;
/*/*/margin: 0 0 0 0; /* */
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
text-align: left;
font-size:80%;
color: #CCCCCC;
background-image: url(graphics/tile_background.jpg);
background-repeat: repeat;
</style>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
(adjust later to change font color (color:) font size, font
family, etc)
Note the background image and background repeat lines. This
will tile that diamond as the entire page background.
Next, add a table that is 1 column and 2 rows.
Give it a center align and zero out the attributes. Give it a
width that's the same as your whole image:
<table width="937" border="0" align="center"
cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
Next, insert the weak logo image into the top row (top cell).
The bottom half of the image will be used as the background
image of the second row in this table.
You won't need to insert it into the second row; use CSS to
make it the background.
Because this is a background image, it won't act like an
inserted image and stretch the cell to the same height as the
image.
We'll take care of that in a minute.
The first step is to define a style for this table cell.
We'll make it a class and call it "content"
Insert this right before the </style> tag.
.content {
background-image: url(graphics/bottomhalf.jpg);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: center top;
Then, assign this class to the cell that is the second row.
<td class="content">
You won't see the whole image yet, as the second row doesn't
have enough content to make it tall enough to see the whole
background image. We'll fix that in a minute.
Next, insert a table into the second row. Make the table 1
row, 3 columns and 100% wide.
<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0"
cellpadding="0">
Don't assign any widths to the three columns right now.
The first column will hold your navigation, the middle column
will be your about us text content, and the last column is going to
control the height of the table so we can see that whole
"bottomhalf" background image.
For the first column, assign a vertical align of "top".
Then, in that first column, insert a table with 1 column and
as many rows as needed for your navigation. Give this table a
desired width in pixels.
Type the name of the link in each row.
In the third column, insert a transparent gif that is 1px
wide and the same number of pixels high as your "bottomhalf" image
is.
This forces this table and the row it is in (.content) to be
the same height as the bottomhalf image, so you see the whole
thing.
Now, give the center column a width of 100%. This will make
the first cell hug the navigation table and the third cell hug the
spacer image. The center cell will fill the remaining area.
It should look something like this now:
<body>
<table width="937" border="0" align="center"
cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td><img src="graphics/weaklogo.jpg" width="937"
height="185" alt="blah"></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="content"><table width="100%" border="0"
cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td valign="top"> <table width="200" border="0"
cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td>Home</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>About</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Gallery</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Rates</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Login</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Content</td>
</tr>
</table></td>
<td width="100%"><p>All about us text and more
and more</p></td>
<td><img src="graphics/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1"
height="500"></td>
</tr>
</table>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
Apply links to the navigation text.
I have to run, but this is a good start.
Next is to use CSS to style the links so they change color on
hover, and to control the positioning of them as well as the
positioning, line spacing, color , etc,etc of the about us text.
This design will still be somewhat at the mercy of the user
if the user has an enormous text size setting in their browser.
This would be very rare I think and would just mean the text
would extend lower than the image. That's the string that's
attached to using a large image as the whole background instead of
a repeating image or a solid color. The positive is that the image
won't shift in pieces or break like it does now.
