Ftp page question

Question from a relative newbie: On iWeb, you can set up an
ftp page for guests where any file put into your public_html folder
automatically gets listed on the ftp page. You don't have to set up
a link. Just upload any file into your public_html folder and it
shows up on a separate ftp page. How does Apple do this?
Thanks!

Found the answer to my own question. It's done with PHP.

Text Replacement in scanned page question

I must be doing something incredibly wrong because I cannot get text to be replaced in a scanned OCR document. I am using Acrobat Pro 9.
Before getting to that, let me ask this question: If I am scanning a document created using a readily available font like Times New Roman, why does Acrobat even bother using the scanned page for displaying text? It knows the text, the OCR was 100% accurate. Why not replace the 300 dpi scanned bitmap image with real, vector-based text? I don't understand that.
OK, now to just trying to replace what amounts to fuzzy looking text with vector text. I've read how to replace text using Tools-> Advanced Editing-> TouchUp Text Tool where I select text, right click on it, go to properties and change the text. Here's what happens when I do that:
First off, the defaults in the properties dialog are set to no fill and no stroke. Why is that? If you're changing your font, wouldn't you want it to show?
After making a selection and closing the dialog, the text indeed changes, but the original, fuzzy text is there as well. And, as there are slight differences in font size, the page is virtually unreadable as it has the appearance of being printed twice with different alignments each time.
This is, of course, quite useless. I MUST be doing something wrong.
Of course, taking even this course of action is pretty frustrating, as the document I'm working on has many statements in bold, so doing a global font change isn't even practical. I really just wish acrobat would know that it can display vector text from the get-go, and forego the bitmapped text altogether.
Thanks, I hope my frustration isn't too evident!

Pages Questions/Frustrations

I'm pretty frustrated with Pages and have some questions.
Data: MacBook with 1.83ghz dual core Intel, OS 10.4.11, 1 gig RAM, lots of hard drive space available. I'm working in Pages on a novel that is around 200,000 words. Software Update reports no new updates available.
1. Are saves always so slow? As I write I will hit Command-S for quick saves. In AppleWorks on the same manuscript such a Save would take less than a second, with Pages I've timed Saves that give me the spinning beach ball and take 10 seconds. That's rather a pain when I'm used to hitting Save between sentences.
2. Spell check - why so slow? I've hit Spell Check and have timed spinning beach balls that take up to 64 seconds before the Spell Check dialog box comes up - in the mean time I can do nothing, Pages won't respond at all. Spell check is essentially useless.
3. Spell check - I've tried highlighting just one word before selecting Spell Check so I can get the checker to learn that word, and once again I wait through a 60 second launch of the spell checker. Is there a way to just check the one word - QUICKLY - via the spell checker?
4. The Comments feature, which I find very useful, has a default font size of 9 (very tiny). I can manually reset the size every time I make a Comment, but how can I reset the default font size in Comments?
5. The disappearing cursor symbol: When I hit the return key to start a new paragraph the blinking cursor disappears. It is evidently there at the new line but is invisible. This is very frustrating and stupid - I hit return, pause for thought, look back at the screen and there is no cursor to be found. Is this truly the way Pages works? The cursor sits there blinking, visible as it should be, for everything but after hitting the Return key to start a new line. What gives?
6. Fonts: Listed font names no longer appear in their own fonts, I end up highlighting text, picking a font, looking to see how the highlighted section looks, picking another random name, looking, etc. Is there no way - as there was in AppleWorks, to open the font menu and see all the fonts as they actually will appear?
Trying to keep up with the march of technology I've converted my novel from AppleWorks to Pages but these items I've listed are VERY annoying, especially the glacial spell check. I'm tempted to convert back but I'm hoping that I'm just being stupid and there are settings changes I just haven't found.
Thanks in advance.

I will repeat what I wrote in an other post.
I assumes that your 200,000 words document is about a 1,000,000 characters one.
In AppleWorks, it will uses 1,800,000 bytes on disk.
In Pages, with the description of every styles parameters, it becomes something about 4,000,000 bytes long. This block of data will be saved as is in a XML file then this one will be gzipped in a 100,000 bytes file then the XML file will be erased.
I must add that these numbers are those met on a raw text document. Always the same font, size and style.
Only some words are in a different colour. With bells and whistles, you may quickly double the size of the XML file.
I assumes that this explain easily the differences encountered.
That's rather a pain when I'm used to hitting Save between sentences.
Most often on this forum we read from users which save only after four hours of typing.
My guess is that for users working as you do, the typing part of the job would be better done in a simpler tool.
For this kind of duty I uses Bean which is a free application more powerful than SimpleText, less powerful than Pages.
When the "kilometer typing" is done the document enters in Pages and this is a new story.
2. Spell check - why so slow? I've hit Spell Check and have timed spinning beach balls that take up to 64 seconds before the Spell Check dialog box comes up - in the mean time I can do nothing, Pages won't respond at all. Spell check is essentially useless.
As I often wrote, it's the drawback of what I describe as a design flaw. The document is described in memory as a verbose XML document. The SpellChecker has a very heavy duty to scan the real text in the mountain of descriptors.
3. Spell check - I've tried highlighting just one word before selecting Spell Check so I can get the checker to learn that word, and once again I wait through a 60 second launch of the spell checker. Is there a way to just check the one word - QUICKLY - via the spell checker?
It was responded by an other helper
4. The Comments feature, which I find very useful, has a default font size of 9 (very tiny). I can manually reset the size every time I make a Comment, but how can I reset the default font size in Comments?
At this time, you can't. It's one of the numerous default parameters for which I wish that Apple offer a Preference setting. I wish to add that the choice of 9 is not really foolish. It was made to balance the space occupied by the comments' column(s) and the space remaining for the doc itself.
Many users wrote abot the reduced size of the real page.
5. The disappearing cursor symbol: When I hit the return key to start a new paragraph the blinking cursor disappears. It is evidently there at the new line but is invisible. This is very frustrating and stupid - I hit return, pause for thought, look back at the screen and there is no cursor to be found. Is this truly the way Pages works? The cursor sits there blinking, visible as it should be, for everything but after hitting the Return key to start a new line. What gives?
As other helpers wrote, I never met this oddity. Perhaps it would be fine if Apple was offering the ability to choose a cursor fitting our own requirements.
6. Fonts: Listed font names no longer appear in their own fonts, I end up highlighting text, picking a font, looking to see how the highlighted section looks, picking another random name, looking, etc. Is there no way - as there was in AppleWorks, to open the font menu and see all the fonts as they actually will appear?
How many fonts are you using in a single document?
I guess that if you are a pro, the response is less han 5.
In the Font dialog, put these fonts in the favourite set so, the next time you will need to change the font, open the Favourite item and you will get your fonts in their own fonts. It's something like Christopher Colombus's egg.
Trying to keep up with the march of technology I've converted my novel from AppleWorks to Pages but these items I've listed are VERY annoying, especially the glacial spell check. I'm tempted to convert back but I'm hoping that I'm just being stupid and there are settings changes I just haven't found.
I'm always surprised when I met professional users changing their tools without checking seriously if the new , well publicized one really match the true needs
I worked more than 30 years as a potter. I was often offered new tools for this or that. At then very end I replaced less than 10 % with new ones (and for some, I had no choice, the original tool is no longer available).

Code for Embedding Quicktime Movies in Web Pages-Question

I have been embedding QT movies in web pages for years. I used to use the embed and object tags, but due to the problems with the default settings of IE7, in regards to ActiveX, I recently changed to the javascript method.
I will paste sample code below, of how I use it, with the movie title change to sample: (of course I change the dimensions, depending on the movie size.)
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"></script>
and I put at the top of the page, right before </head>
<script src="AC_QuickTime.js" language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"></script>
I forgot where I got this code. Perhaps from someone on this forum, or elsewhere. It seems to work with the default settings on most browsers.
I have a couple questions, however, regarding fine-tuning it a little more.
1) If it takes a while for the movie to load, users who open my pages see a static Q QT icon. How would one make the icon flash, with flashing text that says "Loading", so that the user knows that the video is loading? (I have seen that on other sites, and don't know how to do that.)
2)As said the javascript works with most browser default settings, as most have javascript enabled by default. But what if a user does not have javascript enabled? Could the code sense that, and if non-existent, tell the user to enable javascript? Or, if javascript is disabled, could the embed and/or object tags be activated?
3) The code above, that I got from someone, says "cache=false". That means that each time someone sees the movie, it has to be reloaded from the net, and not from the browser cache, correct? If so, why would one want it to be set that way? If it's a large movie, a user with a slower computer and/or internet connection would certainly prefer if it could play from the cache the next time, loading much faster. Is there any reason to prefer "cache=false"?
4)Is there any code that could be put in, to allow the user, if they prefer, to download the file,(perhaps with a right-click or CTRL-Click), instead of playing it in the browser?
Thank you very much in advance, to whomever can help with these code questions.

Thank you for your reply, Kirk,
1)Yes, I do have "fast start" enabled in my files, and they were made with QT Pro, newest version. So no, there is no "trouble with my files".
However, I would still like to have that flashing "Loading" icon when the file is loading, as I see on other sites. (And yes, even with "Fast Start" enabled, depending on the size of the file, the speed of the computer and internet connection, it can take a little time beforeit starts.) Anyone know how to create that flashing "Loading" icon, rather than just the static Q?
2)I just wondered if there was a way for the javascript to recognize if the user does not have javascript, and bring up a message if that is the case, telling the user they need to enable it to see the content. (As would happen if the user does not have the QT plugin installed.) Yes, I realize it would not work to include in the normal way the embed and object tags as well, I wondered if there was a way to invoke them only if the user doesn't have javascript. Perhaps impossible, but I thought I'd ask, in case someone knows of a way to do that.
4)Yes, I guess I could just put a separate direct text link to the movie file for downloading. I just wondered if there was a way to put that in the javascript, so that if someone right-clicks on the QT icon, they can download rather than view it, rather than use a separate link. That may also be impossible, but I thought I'd ask, and see if there is a way to do that.
Your question to me regarding dimensions--I forget which was the QT movie, that I took that sample from. Yes, I have some in unusual sizes. They are not normal movies. I don't have time to explain more now though, and that has no bearing on the questions I asked.
Once again, thanks for replying, and if you or someone else could help further with my questions, I would appreciate it very much.
Have a nice day!

Ftp setup question

sorry if this a repeat question, but i'm stumped. i've set up
a number of sites previously, and never had a problem using the ftp
with dw. my typical setup has been
ftp host: ftp.mysite.com
host directory: public_html/
username
password
never a problem.
now i'm trying to set up a site on a new dedicated server
host and these same setting don't work. as an aside, i'm using
cpanel and when i set up the ftp user i noticed the directory is
/home/wwwcoun/public_html/, so i alternated this with a simple
public_html/ but it didn't work. suggestions please. thanks.
mike

Try -
FTP Host - www.mysite.com
Host directory - BLANK
Can you connect? If you can, tell me what FOLDER names you
see on the
remote folder list.

Home Page Question

Hi Guys,
Appreciate your help on what I assume is an easy solution and probably is a stupid question. There are items on the home page that I would like to delete or move from the 2nd page to the 1st (or vice versa). Can't figure out how to do that. Any advice is appreciated.

By holding any icon for a short while, all icons will appear to wobble, then they can be dragged about to be ordered in any way you wish. By dragging an icon to the edge of the screen the iPhone will allow the icon to be placed into the next home screen.

Movie Page question

Is there a way I could link a movie to the movie window on the movie page that is already on my FTP?

I made a link to a movie on another site by hyperlinking.Just click on welcome page photo.

FTP Flash Question

Aloha,
I am a teacher and would like to put the simple Flash video games for my little 1st graders on our HTML5 website. I have uploaded the following files thru filezilla
1. swfobject.js
2. teahousefla.html
3. teahouselfa.swf
When I go to the site it is simply showing the "ugly website" and not the flash game. Do I need to FTP the .fla?
Thank you very much for helping me with this newbie question! Smiles, Victoria

No to the iPhone question.
Flash built the swfobject.js, the html, and the .swf files. Do I need to do something special inside Dreamweaver? I simply saved the files Flash built and that is what I tried to FTP. The name of the website is morpheusflash.com
Thank you very much for helping! Very much appreciated!

Cannot scale Nivo slider on page, question mark icon appears in centre

Hi I have just paid the fee and downloaded new widgets and tools, and updated my Max to OS X 10.9. FIrst try out getting the Nivo slider onto my page is not working out. It refuses to scale how I want it (into a horizontal shape) and instead keeps bouncing to a large squarish shape, with a question mark icon appearing in the middle. Please can anyone help? Thanks....

Thanks Michael,
There's the rub, when I went to applications the fcp icon wasn't there. Yesterday I dumped a number of old fcp projects becuase I needed the space. Is it possible I dumped the program as well? If so, is there a solution? I am working on a number of recent fcp projects and would hate to lose them. I go to Finder but cannot find any fcp icons connected to the other projects. QTV is there, but no fcp.
Cheers
Bob

FTP basic questions

I have read the FTP is not really working at the moment, but to be honest I do not know much about web design. What is FTP supposed to do? and in theory is Iweb 09 "trying" to allow the user to make more then one site?
I made 2 web pages using a family pack (and I can't even get the family pack "multiple site" to work on 1 computer. Even when I log in as another member my previous web page is there and I fear erasing it (one of the main reasons I got it). Can someone explain what FTP is supposed to do? I get my .com's at Godaddy and just buy the .com, nothing more. I was trying to figure it out last night but I guess I don't have FTP use with my .coms (I only purchased basic names, nothing special). At the moment I have two pages up, but wont more, not unlike anyone else here.
So before I start messing with too much can someone give me a simple explanation on how FTP "should" work with Iweb 09 and Godaddy? I tried to google it but no real help, and with Iweb 09 being so new using goggle to find help is pretty much pointless.
Thanks,
Brent

Brent...
FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol. It's a transfer system for getting files from one place to another on the net securely.
Apple is adding the FTP functionality to iWeb so people (like me) who publish to another server other than mobileme can publish their sites directly out of iWeb, instead of the old way. (Publish to a folder, upload with another program)
If you have FTP access to your sites at Godaddy, then you click on the name of your site in the left side of the iWeb window, at the top where it says "publish to:" select FTP, then fill in all of the pertinent info and click "Publish Site" at the bottom of the page.
In theory, this is how it's supposed to work. If it doesn't, and if Apple truely doesn't have the kinks worked out yet, then "Publish to a Folder" and upload to Godaddy the same way you did before.
Hope this helps.
Jim

Removing but keeping old pages Question.

Hi there.
This is my first post.
I have looked to see if there is a thread similar to my question and cannot see one so sorry if its a duplicate.
Using i-web I have a site currently online.
I want to take a couple of pages off the site but I don't want to simply delete them.
Can I store them where i can see them but omit them from being published when I update my website?

Create a second website in iWeb and drag these pages down to it.
Now publish all.
If you are publishing to MobileMe, the site with the extra pages will be published but not viewable from the URL for the top site.

Order page question

verizonwireless.com/iphoneorder will this link redirect us to the my verizon page that will ask what lines to upgrade, and allow two upgrades at once...Thanks

AnnistonMedic wrote:
It says " Existing customers come back on". Sounds like that is the page we are supposed to come back on
yeah I figured that but I guess my question should have been... are you going to have to do each line one at a time or can you check the box (like you can now) and upgrade two or more at once as one transaction. The way it is now I can sign in under the main line, click the upgrade link, and all my lines show up. Two of which have upgrades ready to go. There is a box that I can mark under both. Then click next and choose what phone for each.Then continue on through the process..I am just making sure it will be the same process for this..I know it will only be speculation until 3am on the 3rd but just getting my game plan on if you will

Dynamic page question (or class=RegionHeaderColor)

Hi there,
i have a couple of portlets, the top-left-portlet showing a background image.
however my dynamic-page portlet doesn't show the image
because in the source i see this:
<TR><TD class="RegionHeaderColor" WIDTH="100%">
<H2>Example of A Dynamic Page</H2>
</TD></TR>
the problem is the class.
when i remove it, i see the image...
my questions are:
1. where can i remove the class
2. how can i change the class.
thanx in advance,
Teo.

If your question is related to editing of dynamic pages exposed as a porltet in a particular page then,
1)Edit the page
2)Check the name of the component (dynamic page component) created, and the name of the application.
3) In the applications tab, navigate to the corresponding application and edit the component in question.

FTP Pages won't update

Getting to the angry side of frustrated, what with all the crazy 'helpful' options they've thrown in there.
I created a page and uploaded it via ftp to my host company (not Adobe), this upload worked fine. I then made alterations to the page and uploaded, using ALL PAGES, only CHANGED pages, no matter what the changes are NOT making it through.
They appear in the 'edit in browser' somehow, but not on my site.
Yes, I HAVE cleared the cache, and in fact grabbed my ipod and opened it for the first time ever on that machine, and it finds the first version but none of the changes. It blows my mind because this works gracefully and flawlessly with the bargain tool Sitespinner, and yet Muse happily chugs along and tells me it worked, but no.
What else is there to try?

Thanks JT,
I use www. when uploading. Haven't tried http:// though. It's hard to tell whether that would matter because it's pretty inconsistent. But worth trying.
Agreed, it can't be caches. I got the same result as you when visiting the site from a new device.
As far as I understand routers themselves don't hold copies of webpages, the device does. Routers do hold a route table (type of cache), but i don't think we could visit the site at all if these were corrupt? Don't quote me on that. I fixed a different issue with pages not loading by resetting my router last week. (Switch it off for at least 2 minutes). Might be worth a try.
I'm on a mac, so I don't know how to refresh using f5! haha
I'm wondering whether it has something to do with this thread: Muse 2014 Crashes During FTP Upload. I've been having this issue as well. In which case we might see and improvement in the upload to live in the couple of days?

Reentrant page question (dynamic component generation related).

I am trying to build a test site where a question will be asked on a page then submitted, then the next question will show up on that same page then submitted, until all of the questions are answered.
Since each question can have a variable number of answers, I decided to dynamicaly build the answer list as a group of radio buttons. The first time I come to the test page, everything works just fine. The question along with the radio buttons that correspond to the possible answers show up, but when the user hits submit, instead of the next question showing up, the same one continues to display every time.
I verify that in the test page's constructor the next question is being loaded and the old components are cleared out before I rebuild them.
The entire code in the test page's constructor looks something like this:
        Map testToQuestionMap = session.getTestNameToRandomizedAnswersListMap();
        String selectedTest = getSessionBean1().getSelectedTest();
        int    currentIndex = getSessionBean1().getCurrentQuestionIndex();
        List questionList = (List)testToQuestionMap.get(selectedTest);
        Question question = (Question)questionList.get(currentIndex);
        //Clean up the page
        questionGrid.getChildren().clear();
        //Ask the question
        StaticText questionText = new StaticText();
        questionText.setValue(question.getQuestion());
        questionGrid.getChildren().add(questionText);
        List answerList = question.getAnswerList();
        Iterator answerIter = answerList.iterator();
        while(answerIter.hasNext())
            RadioButton rb     = new RadioButton();
            String      answer = (String)answerIter.next();
            rb.setLabel(answer);
            rb.setName("RBG1");
            questionGrid.getChildren().add(rb);
    }So, what do you need to do to allow the same page to be updated dynamically each time it is called besides what I am already doing?
Is it a caching thing maybe?

Well, since no one knew how to do this, what I ended up doing was creating a second page and alternatiing between the original and that one for each question. Not the most elegant solution, but it does work.
