"floating" table?
I have a dreamweaver webpage that is pretty long and requires
the user to scroll down through it. I have some text at the top
left of the page that I would like to "anchor" to that spot so when
the user scrolls through the page, the text doesn't scroll up, but
stays in the same spot. This may be easy but I am not sure how to
do this, or if it is even possible.
This may be an idea, Google peristent layer or see here:

I'm helping my dad with a website and he wants the table sidebar i have to float down the page when the viewer scrolls. I know next to nothing about coding and could use some help updating it to be a floating table.
The table is still above the text, not on the side like in the image you sent.
I have the test document in a folder called "Test" in that folder i have a folder named "CSS" where the text document is saved as style.css
The code i have now is below... Not sure what I'm doing wrong :/

Floating Tables in Dreamweaver MX
I'm not sure where to begin looking for this topic, so I'm
starting here. Can anyone tell me where to find tutorial or
instructions on a method to make the "main" area of my web pages
center in the browser window, regardless of the size of the window?
I've seen sites that do this, but I can't find the subject in any
of my tutorials, and I can seem to make it work "intuitively" by
myself. For example, see this site:
http://www.davidclarkdesign.com/
Any help?Of course it's clever (although dated) but the achilles heel
is that it only
works on a container for which the height has been defined,
and for one
containing text, that's a killer. Also note the curiousity
that the author
has use points for the zero units. I prefer the use of
furlongs for zero.

After creating a table, how do I type outside of it? I can't get a cursor to come up.
After creating a table, how do I type outside of it? I can't get a cursor to come up.
Barker,
If by "outside" you mean "on the right or left of" a table, you must make the Table a Floating Object to do that.
If you must use Inline Tables, you can do this:
Add a Floating Text Box with the text that needs to be "outside" the table. Arrange, then Group the Text Box with the Floating Table, and then set the Group to Inline.

I'm building a long technical report with Pages'08.
There are many tables in this report.
This document is in portrait format.
In the middle of this document I have a particularly large
table which can't be read if I try to stay on a portrait
presentation of this table: too many columns (15).
Hence I'd like to find an easy way to either rotate
the page or the table so as to be able to use larger
columns.
I discovered that Pages'08 doesn't permit to put one
page in landscape format. I also abandonned the idea of
using 3 different documents (part 1 in portrait,
part 2 in landscape, part 3 in portrait again).
I have to chain the paragraph numbers.
I have to make a table of content at the end of
this technical report.
What is the most efficient way to manage to fill this large
table.
Word let me do this, but unfortunately it does also
make me spend toomuch time on other simple and basic functions.
Is Pages'09 better on this basic and frequent need (at least for my job)?

You can rotate a floating table, but it can be a problem if you need to edit the table. It will auto-rotate to portrait to edit it but it can be difficult to see or get to the outside edges. I find it easiest to copy & paste the table into a landscape document the copy it back after editing.
Thank you for the nice hint.
I finally choosed to work on a temporary document in A3 format,
and keep it open so as to be able to quickly copy my table in the
main document every time I update it.
During this copy operation I noticed a boring problem:
as the text column in my main document is slightly smaller than my table,
Pages decide to shrink it every time, and I can't recover it's
original size (which I penibly tuned up in my A3 document).
Hence all the cell contents are partially hidden.
The button:
Inspector > Metrics > Original Size
is off.
Do you know how to circumvent this bad habit of Pages to resize my
imported table?

Problem with tables spanning multiple pages
I have used Pages early on before Numbers to track my small business expenses vs income. I use tables to manage this by clicking outside the page so it can be unrestricted by text fields but it creates a problem.
Problem: free floating tables when rows continue past the footer, don't auto format onto another page.
Needed solution: How do I format the table so it automatically formats the total bar onto the next page without changing my existing layouts?I have used Pages early on before Numbers to track my small business expenses vs income.

I would like to create a "floating table" (for lack of a
better description)
Where as There would be a block element say <p
id="thisblock">This block would have some text, images, all
formatted and wrapped in a border - thanks to #thisblock {...} in
css</p>
now in that box, i would like to put a list that would split
down 2 columns, left one will be aligned right, right aligned left
ie:
This block would have some text, images, all formatted and
wrapped in a border
________XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX_____XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
__ XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX____XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
_________ XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX____XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
then some more text down here
well you get the idea. I tried using floats, but of course
the "then some more text" ends up buried under the list. I tried
clear: both, but that didn't help. im new to css and any help would
be appreciated!
ThanksWhy not use a table within the floating element?

Hello all,
I keep getting exceptions using the code for a table cell renderer listed below.
Basically, the program blows up whenever the renderer is asked to compare two floats.
Two string values, a string and a float, it does not have the desired effect, but a least it runs.
" public Object[][] aaTableValues = {
{ new Float( 700.00 ), new Float( 300.00 ), new Float( 400.00 ), "Fred", "Snead", "inform", "detail" },
{ new Float( 1000.00 ), new Float( 200.00 ), new Float( 800.00 ), "Jane", "Smith", "limit", "detail" },
{ new Float( 500.00 ), new Float( 200.00 ), new Float( 300.00 ), "Mary", "Ellis", "inform", "detail" },
table1.setDefaultRenderer(Object.class, new DefaultTableCellRenderer() {
public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(JTable table,
Object value,
boolean isSelected,
boolean hasFocus,
int row,
int column) {
super.getTableCellRendererComponent(table, value, isSelected,
hasFocus, row, column);
// Prepare default color
Color color = isSelected ? table.getSelectionForeground(): table.getForeground();
if (column == 1) {
float val1 = 0.0F;
val1 = ((Float)value).floatValue();
float val2 = ((Float)table.getValueAt(row, column - 1)).floatValue();
if( val1 > val2) {
color = isSelected ? Color.red.brighter() : Color.red;
setForeground(color);
return this;
});I get the runtime exceptions like the following:
"Caught exception updating ExitableJFrame[frame0,0,0,618x430,invalid,layout=java.awt.BorderLayout,resizable,title=AccountActivityTable,defaultCloseOperation=,rootPane=javax.swing.JRootPane[,0,0,618x430,invalid,layout=javax.swing.JRootPane$RootLayout,alignmentX=null,alignmentY=null,border=,flags=2,maximumSize=,minimumSize=,preferredSize=],rootPaneCheckingEnabled=true,EXIT_ON_CLOSE]:

at javax.swing.plaf.ComponentUI.update(ComponentUI.java:43)
Does anyone know how to fix this?If you look again at the error message, you'll see it's a NullPointerException. You are using a null reference. Nothing at all to do with comparing two float values. I'd guess that "table.getValueAt(row, column - 1)" is returning null, but it's hard to tell without a line number. You need to do some debugging in that code to see where you are using the null reference.

Table in replication is in error state
Hi All,
When i checked in Data Provisioning in HANA studio ,replication for a table (TEXT_CTY_EXPOS) has gone in ERROR state .
On finding the application logs from LTRC i saw the following :

When i checked neither DMIS_RFC user nor the user in HANA are locked.The error is for a lot of tables.

A Word document is normally translated to a Pages word processing document. I think that it is likely the table is floating. A floating table will "disappear" at the page boundary. Click the table once to select it & then change it to inline, either using the inline format bar button or the wrap inspector. Then the table will break a a row.
However, if the table has any row that is bigger than can be fitted on one page, the remainder will disappear. The only option then is to manually split the row into smaller pieces. -
Rotating tables in Pages 5 (iWork '13)
I am using Pages 5.0.1 and I need to rotate a table. Apparently, you could rotate a table in Pages '09 by selecting "floating table". In Pages 5.0.1 Rotate is greyed out.
Hi Peter,
The top table in the screen shot of Pages 5.0.1 is the live table. The second table is a static image of the same table, which can be rotated. To produce an image of the table:
Select the table and Command-C.
Switch to Preview.app and Command-N, Command-C.
Switch back to Pages and Command-V.
At this point you have the real table and the image of the table. If you think you will need to edit the real table, duplicate your document for later use from this point. Delete the table and rotate the image.

Help with a Times Table Applet.
Hey,
I am a college student and I have been given the task of constructing a times table applet. Basically, I am stuck to the point of where I have no clue of what to do next. Even my college tutor is stuck as to what to do. I was wondering if you could give me any aid in helping me develop this applet fully, so that it is correct and functioning. Here it is:
import java.io.*;
import Input.*;
import java.applet.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
abstract class TimesTableApplet extends Applet implements ActionListener
public void initialize();{}
String message="";
public void init()
Button btnClick= new Button("Enter");
add(btnClick);
//String line = null;
float table = 0, range = 0, attempts = 0;
int count = 1, reply = 1, lines = 1;
TextArea textone;
while(reply==1)
String line = null;
table = 0;
range = 0;
ClrScr.ClrScr();
textone = new TextArea("",10,30+12*lines);
lines=1;
while (( table < 1) || (table > 20) && attempts <3)
textone = new TextArea("Input table from 1-20:",10,10);
table = Input.readFloat();attempts++;
attempts = 0;
while (( range < 1) || (range > 14) && attempts <3)
textone = new TextArea("Input range 1-14:,10,20");
range = Input.readFloat();attempts++;
if (( table >= 1) && (table <= 20))
if (( range >= 1) && (range <= 14))
while (count<=range)
textone = new TextArea(count + "x" + table + "=" + count * table);
count++;

reply = Input.readInt();
}//end while reply ==1
}//end init
public void paint(Graphics g)
int count =1;
while ( count <=80)
System.out.println();
count++;
}Ok, why did you post this code? we will not be able to compile it because we are missing
the Input package not did you mention wich jar to find this (nor did google).

You would have to take a look at the error output of xorg. Since I start X using startx I can look at it on the first sterminal (ALT - CTRL - F1). I don't know where the output would go if you use GDM or something similar.
If there are errors you could post them here and people might be able to help.
If the comment of the second config file is correct then the config most likely wont work with awesome 3.1 since the sytax of the config file changed between 3.0 and 3.1
Another possibility to get a working config would be to copy the default awesome config into your ~/.config/awesome folder and then gradually make changes to it, exchanging content for stuff from other configs, that way you'd know which change brakes something. -
Awesome3 dialog boxes and pop-ups appearing partly offscreen
Dialog boxes like when opening a specific file in evince (with C-o or file->open) are appearing floating (as they should) but with almost half of the box offscreen. Its irritating to have to move my hand to my mouse every time and move the window into full view as otherwise I use the keyboard exclusively, so I'm wondering if anyone knows how to set a default location on screen for pop-up dialog boxes like this.

For me it's the Firefox Upload selection box.
It doesn't happen in ratpoison, but you can tell the floating window is getting moved after it spawns. (ratpoison has editable rules for where to put these windows)

Z77-GD65, problems with video signal
Got some problem: with external graphics card (ASUS GTX660-DC2TG-2GD5) the signal disappears after a while (about 1-3 minutes) - display goes off and has floating table "No signal".
Without external card, through the integrated video - all works fine.
Has anybode had this problem?
I had a BIOS like 10.0 and then updated it to the latest version ( 10.8 ) via M-FLASH, but nothing has changed.
My system:
. MSI Z77A-GD65 (RTL) LGA1155 < Z77> 3xPCI-E+Dsub+DVI+HDMI+GbLAN+1394 SATA RAID ATX 4DDR-III
. CPU Intel Core i7-3770 BOX 3.4 ГГц / 4core / SVGA HD Graphics 4000 / 1+8Mb / 77 Wt / 5 / LGA1155
. Corsair Vengeance < CMZ8GX3M2A2133C11R> DDR-III DIMM 8Gb KIT 2*4Gb < PC3-17000>
. ASUS GTX660-DC2TG-2GD5
. Corsair TX750 < CP-9020042-EU> 750W ATX (24+2x4+4x6 / 8pin)Yes, the forum's USB method is the safest there is. That and the reflash will ensure the ME firmware has been updated properly. Yes, you do have a safety net with the B BIOS chip.
As a side note, you shouldn't have any graphics problems when W7 is installed like some have with W8.
Edit: Problem is you need an OS installed with the forum method.
2nd edit: Recommend then to run on the onboard ports to the monitor with the discrete card removed to get the OS, drivers, reflash, etc. taken care of. Then the matter of the graphics card not working right can be addressed.
3rd edit: Has the graphics card been tested in another machine to verify it is not possibly faulty?
4th edit: Sorry about all the edits, but as I think about it, more things come to mind. Have you been connecting the discrete card with HDMI or DVI? Some compatibility issue can be a possibility with a non compliant v1.4 HDMI cable or a monitor conflict. Some Apple monitors have been known to be problematic from time to time. -
Inserting pictures into a div in a certain formation. help. thanks!
I'm new to forums and Dreamweaver cs4 and code... I really could use some help. I want to put pics where the black boxes are but i cant seem to get them stacked as they look. I also want to be able to have words/paragraphs to the left of the four pictures. I tried; insert picts with padding/floating, tables, seperate divs, create web photo album, i just cant get them lined up like that. I'm using dreamweaver cs4 and i have my layout seperated with divs, so the white body part is a indidual loating div. Please help. Thanks.
ps. The "right body" div (white box) is set at like 600w x 400h. I dont want that dimenstion to change.
thanks again everyone who can help.You want something like this??

Can I change the location of the Info popup window?
Whenever I double click an event to edit or add information, it appears at the far upper left corner of my screen. I have to move my mouse that way to edit it; on a 27 inch screen that is very inconvenient. If I move the window and close it, the next
