Help! Odd text box behaviour in IE compared with iWeb 08/Safari.

Hello All
I have been tasked with building my girlfriend a website so have fired up iWeb and got stuck in. It all looked fine and dandy to me in iWeb but she is complaining that when she views it on her PC using IE one text box is messed up. In iWeb I centered the text both horizontally and vertically within the text box but IE shows the text at the bottom of the text box and hence loses some of the text.
I'm wondering if there is a work around for this to make the site look the same in IE?
Thanks

Jonno,
Make sure nothing else is touching the textbox on the iWeb page. You can click on any element on the page to select it, then use <select all> (command A). This should allow you to see all the boundary boxes for all the elements on the page, make sure none of them are touching the problem text box.
Also make sure the textbox isn't touching the edge of the page or the header , or footer or anything. Make sure there is space all around the box.
If you post the address to the page others can more easily help you.
Sincerely, David

Is there a proper way to config multi-line text boxes so they're compatible with all/most browsers?

I've got forms that use multi-line text-boxes and they work fine with IE and Chrome. A user just discovered that in Firefox the fields don't wrap (it basically appears to be a large field but acts like a single-line).
Is there a workaround/fix for this?

Is the input text just some dummy text line e.g. "aaaaaaaaaaaaa...." without any spaces? Try by adding lorem ipsum sample text i.e. actual words with spaces between. It should wrap.

Firefox 37.01 —Here's a screenshot of it not wrapping:
(each of the above are 2 long paragraphs that are not wrapping and showing as 2 single lines.)
And here's a screenshot of Text Box Properties (I've tried it with and without autocomplete and spell-check just for kicks).

Need help threading text boxes

Is there a way to make the text boxes that are threaded together auto number. If I put 600 in the first box, I want 601 to appear in the second box and so on.
thanks

I am laying out a magazine and I have to create thumbnails to show each page. I have the thumbnail page laid out and I have text boxes that are linked under each thumbnail with the page number inside the text box. I want to be able to put the first page of the magazine in the first text box and it will auto fill the rest of them. As it is now, I have to type the page number into each box. I can tab through the boxes, but I can't figure out how to make it auto number and it would save a lot of time.
Thanks,

It's not clear if your thumbnails are each threaded to their full-size text frames, or if each page-number text frame on the thumbnail page is threaded to the next one.
* If each thumbnail text frame on the thumbnail page is linked to the full-sized page elsewhere in the document, you can use the "next page number" marker.
* If the thumbnail text frames are not threaded to their corresponding full-sized page, you can create a cross-reference from each thumbnail text frame to a text frame on the corresponding full-sized page, using a cross-reference format that only captures and displays the page number.
* If your thumbnail page is intended to be a Table of Contents, you could generate a TOC that captures a paragraph style that's on each full-sized document page and adjust the TOC entries and non-threaded thumbnails to align suitably on the TOC page.
Search Google for terms like "InDesign table of contents," "InDesign cross-references," and "InDesign next page number marker," without quotes for details.

PLEASE HELP anchored text boxes corrupted CS5

I have a book I've been working on for some time that is close to final. It has anchored text boxes in the sidebar that flow with the text and is being edited in an IC assignment environment. I made semi-final edits to it yesterday and exported a PDF, but when I started scrolling through the pages, I noticed that whole pages of the content were blank. The stories were still flowing as if there was text on the blank pages, but there were no text boxes to select and it was intermitten through the whole document. Thinking the layout file was corrupt, I exported to IDML and opened that. It recovered almost identical to the other file and now all the anchored text boxes are completely locked. I can no longer select them to edit the text or move them. I tried unlinking the IC stories, still locked. I tried going back to a version of the ID file from before I made the edits--figuring the edits would be preserved in the stories and I could just reedit the layout, but while I've managed to recover the pages of content that had gone blank, my anchored text boxes are still completely locked. Does anyone have any suggestions. This book was nearly final and I have a hard deadline.
Mac 10.5.8, ID 7.0.4
I do have ID CS5.5 on another computer. Do you think it would be worth trying to convert the file to the newer version and then back to CS5?

OK, I've completely severed all connection to IC. Anchored boxes are still locked. I exported the whole thing to IDML again and opened that. Anchored boxes are still locked. I copied the text out of the story into a new blank document and the anchored text boxes are still locked. They show little locks on the frames. Is there a way to lock anchored text boxes without locking the story? If there is, maybe there's a way to unlock them? I'm just wondering if some option I don't know about was accidentally applied.

Text box on a mask prints with a 'watermark'

I am using one of the template newsletters. It's the Family Newsletter template which says Johnson Family in the sample. I changed the text in the sky blue mast, provided with the template. On the computer, the appearance is fine, but when printed my mast text has this whitish rectangular halo (watermark?)around each word in the mast. Again, this only appears when printed, not when view on the computer. Any ideas? I have tried everything I can think of.

Check whether you have shadowing on either the text or on the text box which is transparent.

How to compare text box value with the table data??

I created one stored procedure in DB,it is as follows:-
CREATE or replace PROCEDURE chkUser
u in varchar2,
p in varchar2,
ap out varchar2
is
begin
select count(*) into ap from tbuser where loginid = u and password = p;
end;
And at the front end I have designed a form with 2 text boxes, now my question is I wanna compare these text box values(which user enters) with the data of the table....??? something like control (may be I am not sure)..... ???
If anybody can help me out with this issue...... help will be appreciated
Thank you.

hi Elise,
I'm always getting the Error Message as "Invalid Creditianls"... let me tell you the whole scenario with sql synatx.
I have created tables as:-
CREATE TABLE "TBUSER"
(     "LOGINID" VARCHAR2(30) NOT NULL ENABLE,
     "PASSWORD" VARCHAR2(30),
     CONSTRAINT "TBUSER_PK" PRIMARY KEY ("LOGINID") ENABLE
than I created the Procedure on tbuser, it is as:-
create or replace PROCEDURE logincheck
u in varchar2,
p in varchar2,
ap out varchar2
is
begin
select count(*) into ap from tbuser where loginid = u and password = p;
end;
now at the front end side I have created one form with 2 text boxes (P8_USERNAME & P8_PASSWORD) and 2 buttons (Cancel and Submit)
as per you told me in the above post, I have created 'Validation' procedure with Type as 'Exists' and expression(into Validation Expression1)as:-
select 1 from tbuser
where loginid = :P8_USERNAME
and password = :P8_PASSWORD;
and
kept an error message as 'Invalid credentials'.....
but I don't know what's going wrong..... I do have few data into the table, and when I am entering the same data(with case sensitive) I am getting the Error message, rather than when the credentials are perfect user should be allowed to enter into the current page(where I have created this form and validation procedure)....
any idea what's going worng and where...????

How to center Text Box on Web Page? -- Web dev with Word 2013

I'm trying to assist a user who wants to use Word 2013 for simple web page development.
There are many tools but they want to use Word 2013.
Actually have it working by saving the Word 2013 files as web pages... like index.htm, about.htm, etc.
The problem is when we use the "Insert" tab in Word to create a "Text Box" or a "Shape" ...
And align it centered on the page... it looks fine in Word but when we open it with a web browser the "Text Box" or "shape" are no longeer centered.
We thought we had it fixed by making the "Text Box" Layout Options "In Line with Text" but again... looks fine in Word but not in a web browser.
The question: How can we get a "Text Box" in Word 2013 to appear centered on a web page?
thanks for any help.

Hi:
For webpage design, I would suggest customized form under develop tab on the Ribbon over insert object directly. I tested from my side, using customized form will lock the object position on the
page.

Text Box Inset Guides

InDesign CS4 does't seem to show Text Box Inset margins as guides when text box is selected just once with Selection Tool (i.e not dble-clicked to edit text). The Inset values can be discerned through opening up Text Frame Options dialogue box, but within CS2 they would be viewable as guides (which helped with exact alignment) when Text Box was selected once. Note: when Text Box is dragged to new position they appear momentarily whilst being dragged - not much use! Any help much appreciated.

Ok
I made a text frame there. I put insets of 5mm in there.
I can see the insets. But when i go to the type tool the inset preview disappears.
I ctrl click to move the frame and they temporarily appear. But once the type tool is active in the frame the inset preview is gone.
CS3.

Text justification in text box

I have just built a website in iweb and have included a table that has a coloumn of words to the very right of the text box. These look justified in iweb but become ragged in appearance when published. Can anyone suggest how I can avoid/correct this or is it reliant upon the server?
Thank you - I am new to iweb so any help is appreciated.

Either split the text and put the column in a separate textbox or create a table outside iWeb.
Here's how :
     Create and add a TABLE in iWeb

Difficulty editing text in iPhoto book project. I add a page layout with text, but can't edit the text box., Difficulty editing text in iPhoto book project. I add a page layout with text, but can't edit the text box.

I'm am having difficulty editing text in the iphoto book project. I have a text box that is pre-populated with text. I can edit the text once, then if I need to change something, it won't let me delete anything, only add to it. Anyone else having this problem?
Thanks!

You should be able to double click in the text box and add or delete text. First make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
Click to view full size
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
NOTE 2: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
If that doesn't help launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos, create a book and check to see if the same problem persists. Post back with the results.

Replicating Text Boxes

I am trying to create a short answer quiz where the response populates more than 1 text box. For example I answer a question on slide 1 and it populates a text box on page 20 automatically with the same info. What is the best way to do this?

Hi there,
You can insert a Text entry box and define a variable (like I have used variable name as 'xyz1') for the text to be entered and validate the user input if you want,
And then on the slide where you want to show the content of the text entry box, insert a text caption there and use $$variablename$$, I have used $$xyz1$$ in my example"
Whenever this text caption will come up it will show the content of Text Entry Box. If you will uncheck the validate user input then you cannot include text entry box in quiz.
I hope you may find it helpful.
Thanks.

How can i type text in one text box and have the same text appear in a second text box? (on the same page)

I'm trying to make a simple CD label template and would like the text typed into the title text field on the cover to also appear in the title box on the back cover when typed just the once.
Is there any way to accomplish this?
Thanks.
chuck b.

Hi Chuck,
Not possible with a Text box, but can be done with a table.
Type the text in cell A1 (top left). When you exit the cell, the text will appear in C1 (top right).
Table can have fewer cells; cell borders may be set to 'none' to make them invisible; font and size may be different is each cell (as shown).
The formula in C1 is pretty simple: =A1
So it's possible, but on the whole, I agree with Peter—Copy/Paste is just as efficient, Drag and Drop onto (styled) placeholder text works quite nicely.

Barry

Acrobat 9.2.0 Update Breaks Text Box Tool, Possibly Introduces a New Security Flaw.

Anyone have any ideas for this one?
Once we upgraded to version 9.2.0 (This is a major security release that fixes a Javascript security flaw) our text box tool no longer works the way we want it and crashes the program.
Try this:
1. Open any PDF document on a Windows XP SP3 computer with Adobe Acrobat 9.2.0.
2. Add the 'Text Box Tool' to the toolbar by right-clicking the toolbar and selecting 'MoreTools' then placing a checkbox next to the 'Text Box Tool'.
3. Click the 'Text Box Tool' on the toolbar and draw a new textbox anywhere on the PDF document.
4. Click out of the textbox to cancel typing mode, then single click back on the textbox that you just created.
5. Right-click the textbox that you created and select 'Properties..."
6. Under the 'Appearance' tab,
a. Select Style: No Border
b. Select Fill Color: No Color
c. Check the box 'Make Properties Default'
d. Click OK.
7. Click the Text Box Tool again, and draw another textbox (Since there is no border you will not see it but you will still be drawing a textbox).
8. Let go of the mouse when you are done drawing your textbox rectangle and the program will crash at this point.
Results:
1. "An internal error occurred." dialog box is displayed.
2. After clicking ok the following "Microsoft Visual C++ Runtime Library" dialog box is displayed:
"Runtime Error!
Program: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Acrobat 9.0\Acrobat\Acrobat.exe
R6025
- pure virtual function call
3. After clicking ok another dialog box is displayed:
Error signature
AppName: acrobat.exe AppVer: 9.2.0.124 ModName: acrobat.dll Offset: 000509dd
4. The same error has occurred on all five computers that we tested the new version on.
Expected results: A new textbox is created and you may start typing in text (This was the behavior in version 9.1.3).
Additional Information
At times, we need to add information to PDF files (i.e missing dates, etc). We have always used the Text Box Tool to do this with no border, and with no fill color as this is the EASIEST and FASTEST way to add information to PDF files in a precise manner. We want the fill color to be transparent so that we can fit text in between and exactly on lines easier, and so that there is not a solid background box behind the text. We want no border because a border around text that needs to go on a line looks stupid. Up until version 9.2 this procedure worked fine. Now, the program will crash. Perhaps this even adds another security vulnerability if the crash could be exploited. We want to maintain security by patching Adobe to address the JavaScript vulnerability that was addressed in version 9.2.0, however, we are not able to update our users as the new version breaks the fundamental purpose that we use Adobe Acrobat for. We are stuck with the vulnerable version 9.1.3 until this problem is addressed. Disabling JavaScript is not an option either, as we use a Java plug-in on a daily basis.
Any thoughts would be great, I have attached screenshots of the errors.

The question still is not answered.
The problem continues in Acrobat 8.1.7 for Windows, even after updating toAcrobat 8.2.0. ( I can't comment on whether recent updates to Acrobat 9 fix the problem in Acrobat 9.)
The internal error after text insertion problem occurs even with PDF documents created in Acrobat 8, i.e., not only old versions of PDF files. We have the text box insertion icon in the toolbar, and the properties set to "no color" for the box and "0" width for the text box lines, as other commentators have noted.
The problem did not exist when Acrobat 8 Pro was installed, it was introduced by one of the updaters.
The main reason we use Acrobat, rather than much cheaper PDF-creation software, is to annotate PDF files (including inputting data into spaces in standard forms).
So justify the high price of Acrobat and fix the problem please, Adobe !
