Help with four frames

HI!
I've built a webpage that has four frames. This will
(hopefully) be the home page of a website that has multiple pages.
The frame has a top, left, bottom and right. When you click
in the links for the left, the right side changes. Everything works
well. BUT, when you go to an individual page by itself, the frame
does not appear, only (what I am calling) the right side.
Can someone assist me to link the frames to each page,
whether you click them from the home page or an individual page by
itself?
I look forward to your response.

Just to expand a bit on bregent's reply....
The reason for using or not using frames should be based on
a) your site's
needs, and b) your willingness to accept the potential
problems that frames
can create for you as developer and maintainer of the site
and for your
visitors as casual users of the site.
I am down on frames because I believe that they create many
more problems
than they solve.
Judging from the posts here, and the kinds of problems that
are described,
the kind of person most likely to elect to use frames is also
the kind of
person most likely ill-prepared fo solve the ensuing problems
when they
arise. If you feel a) that you understand the problems and b)
that you are
prepared to handle them when they occur, and c) that you have
a need to use
frames, then by all means use them.
As far as I know, the most comprehensive discussions of
frames and their
potential problems can be found on these two links -

Combining APEX help with a frame-like TOC html help system (I used DITA)

Problem:
The APEX page-oriented help system is bad at helping users find how to do something. I prefer to use a task-oriented help system for that, with a table of contents that users can browse around in. I like the DITA (Darwin Information Typing Architecture) system's topic based help with its ideas of tasks, concepts and references. But, I also like the context-based feel of a page-based help system and the way that the APEX help system automatically aggregates all of the item-based help on a page for you.
My Solution:
I'm no html genius, so this may be totally wrong, but what I did was to create a task oriented html user guide that also included a page based help TOC entry for each page. I then used iframes in the APEX help page to allow me to have a TOC always showing with links that controlled a content "pane," but still also display the automatically-generated item help for the page help is called from.
* Downloaded the DITA open toolkit (http://sourceforge.net/projects/dita-ot ), full package distribution and installed using the user guide (http://dita-ot.sourceforge.net/doc/ot-userguide131/xhtml/ )
* Downloaded and installed XMLmind XML editor free personal edition version ([http://www.xmlmind.com/xmleditor/download.shtml]). I'm not endorsing this thing, but it's free and it works great out of the box for editing DITA files.
* Created an html user guide by modifying the garage sample that's included with the DITA open toolkit and publishing to xhtml (I also published to pdf2, by the way, to provide a printable user guide for my users to download...one of the nice things about DITA). I set up my files so that they would all be in a topics subfolder, rather than the standard task, concept, and reference folders of the example. I did this so that I wouldn't have to worry about linking to a different folder from APEX (more on that later). I made a concept topic for each page of my application with the filename "Concept_About_page_X.dita," where X is the APEX page number.
* I run APEX using Oracle Application Server 10g, so I uploaded the files to a subdirectory of their own in the i/ folder on the OAS server. In my case this was APPSERVER_HOME/apache/apache/images/doc/MyAppHelp/
* The DITA toolkit generates html pages that look for a CSS called commonltr.css, located at the same level as the index.html file. I copied my APEX theme's CSS file to that same place and renamed it commonltr.css (in my case that was APPSERVER_HOME/apache/apache/images/themes/theme_13/theme_V3.css). Now, the proper thing to do would be to configure DITA to point at the real location of the theme's CSS, I guess. But I didn't want to figure out how to do that at this point.
* Now, in APEX, I deleted all of the page-level help text from my pages, since I had now duplicated this information into the DITA page concept topics. Instead, on each page I put
* On the help page (the page that you create when you're first setting up Help in APEX, mine is page 50), I added the following iframe tags in the header text of the page: \\ <iframe src="../../i/doc/gradevalhelp/index.html" width="40%" height="50%" align="left"></iframe><iframe name="contentwin" src="../../i/doc/gradevalhelp/topics/Concept_About_page_&REQUEST..html" width="60%" height="50%" align="right"></iframe><br> \\ Note the <br> at the end. I had to put that in to prevent the item level help from printing over my content iframe. Again, someone who knows something about html could probably tell you the right way to do that. The DITA toolkit generates a base tag (<base target="contentwin"/>) in the head section of the index.html file, to make the target of the TOC links be the content frame. Notice how I use it to map the links in the first iframe to the second iframe on the APEX help page, by naming the second frame "contentwin". Notice how the &REQUEST. Substitution string is used to present the proper DITA html file. I also tried setting it up to use a calculated hidden item that looks up the page alias for the requesting page; this had the advantage of allowing me to name my DITA files using page alias instead of page number, but it was too slow.

Look at all the apdiv's you have. Those are absolutely positioned layers. I'm assuming by your post that you are very new to Dreamweaver and HTML and CSS. I would highly recommend not using absolutely positioned layers until you have a better grasp on HTML and CSS.
Looking at your code I would suggest that you consider using one of Dreamweaver's built in, or downloadable templates as a starting point and work from there.

Help with copying frames

Hi,
Thanks in advance for spending some time helping me with this issue. Im new to the Flash world
I am actually designing a website and need to copy frames from one page to another. The problem is that after pasting the frames in a different location I dont seem to be able to edit it without having the original frame change. Is there anyway I can copy frames (animation, buttons etc) and still be able to edit them without having the original frame change?
My intention is two have multiple pages with the same basic design but slight modification on each page.
Thanks

copy frame 1 to frame 2.
make a list of all the library objects in frame 2. (anything else that's not in your library (like shapes) you can edit in frame 2 and they won't change in frame 1).
in your library, right click on one of the objects you noted in you list, click duplicate, click ok. (you may as well accept the default name for now.)
do the same for all the objects in your list.
now, click on one of the objects in frame 2 to select it. in the properties panel click swap and select the duplicate. do the same for all the frame 2 objects.
you can now (or anytime after they were created) edit the duplicate objects. frame 2 will reflect those changes. frame 1 will not.

Need help with inserting frame with scrolling images

Hi,
Im a beginner and need help putting a single box/frame with scrolling images in the middle of my layout, so that when viewed in browser, the header and footer remain in place, while the images and info in the frame in the centre of the page can be scrolled down/up?

You can use an iframe element <iframe src="" width="" height="" scrolling="yes"> though if you're concerned with crawlers you should avoid frames as much as possible.

Help with putting Frame inside Frame

I have created two Frames: one with the code that works with the buttons (StudentsFile) and the second as a Tabbed Frame (TabbedPaneDemo).
I want to put StudentsFile into one of the tabs. The files compile but when I run TabbedPaneDemo the window that is created in StudentsFile comes up but it is not in the Tabbed window. What Am I doing wrong?
Any assistance would be appreciated.
This is the portion of the TabbedPaneDemo where I put in the StudentsFile into Panel 1.

I haven't looked at all of your code, but I do see that you are trying to put a JFrame, which is a root container into a JTabbedPane, and this just cannot be done. It would be better to refactor your StudentsFile class to extend a JPanel, and then you can add it to a JTabbedPane.
Oh, and please ask these types of questions in the Swing forum.

Help with Master frame placeholders

Hi.
I'm using IDCS3 v5.0.2 on windows vista SP 1
Im using facing pages with facing masters, which only differ on the left and right header title. I placed graphic frame placeholders in both left and right pages of a master, that I used to place content (images) in the document pages. All works fine and I can move things on that master with exact results in the pages assign by it. The problem comes when I move or add another page, then the page graphics (images) get detached from the master frame placeholders, and Im no longer able to control them from the masters.
Any help would be much appreciated
Regards

Yes you're right, it works ok when i add pages in pairs.
Maybe I can also disable the "allow pages to shuffle" command and add pages one by one? This way it works too.

Help with repeating frame delay

I have this movie in which basically a screen is supposed to come on, hold for 15 seconds, move to the next one, (a little bit of tween in between) hold for 15 seconds, move to the next one, etc. But the whole time there is also a button which enables the viewer to go to the next screen before the 15 seconds have elapsed.
My initial solution for this was to just put in a lot of frames to make them last 15 seconds, but with many such instances repeating it becomes really hard for me to navigate the flash timeline.
So I've found several scripts that would allow me to pause a frame, but they all have the same bug. For example, a frame action like this:
stop();
function wait() {
play();
clearInterval(myInterval);
myInterval = setInterval(wait, 15000);
It works fine the first time, and works fine if you don't touch the "play" button, but if you click it a few times, after a few times the screens no longer wait 15 seconds to move on, but start moving at random intervals.
I found that script (and several similar ones which behave the same way) in some forum somewhere, but I noticed the posts were all very old. I haven't been able to find if newer action scripts and flash players support some better tricks to do this?
Anyone know a workaround, some way to get all those frames to pause in their own time without their intervals piling up and messing each other up? Maybe some action to put into the "play" button? Or into the frame?
Anything other than inserting endless amounts of identical frames into the timeline.
Here's my flash file if you'd like to take a look. It's very basic, I admit I'm not very avid in flash. It's Flash8:
https://www.yousendit.com/download/WTNMeEVRTXYzeUkwTVE9PQ
and the swf:
https://www.yousendit.com/download/WTNMeEVTTk04aU0wTVE9PQ
I'll really appreciate every help. Even if i need newer flash, all advice welcome.

I don't know if I did something wrong but I get this error when I do that:
**Error** Scene=Scene 1, layer=navigation, frame=1:Line 1: Statement must appear within on handler
     autoAdvanceF();
Total ActionScript Errors: 1      Reported Errors: 1
I mean I only put
autoAdvanceF();
into the button action, nothing else...
is something else supposed to go with it?
I don't know action script, I just sort of paste stuff and sometimes it works.
EDIT
sorry I'm an idiot.
on (release) {
    autoAdvanceF();
ok got that now.
but when I do that what you said, put that first code into the first frame action, and that second code into the button action, the movie doesn't play at all

Help with using frames for animation

I am using frames to animate webpage using fireworks 4 (I
know, hopelessly outdated). I seem to have two different
collections of frames that interact- one for the main image, and
one for the slice I'm trying to animate as a GIF. I can't seem to
change the time delay for each frame when I'm editing the slice.
What can I do to make this work?

Yep you have answered your own question.
Choose export, file export and click the scale images option, and original options (assuming they are already jpegs).
(As you say exporting as webpage creates the page for you but can create images in two sizes (thumnails and main) which can be helpful. The downside the that the filenames for the images as numeric. 1.jpg, 2.jpg etc.)
While a longer process and with no direct control over file size and quality I prefer the file export option as above. It preserves filenames and quality is fine.
and do choose 'original' as you should avoid re-saving a jpeg as a jpeg (that causes a quality reduction)
You will need to manually bring the images into your web pages (save the exported images into your site folder and bring each one into your page individually) unless you are very clever with filenaming!
Hope this helps.

Need help with photo frame

Below is a quick frame I made to re-use on my photos, which I overlayed onto an image. I set the Blending Mode to Screen for the Frame Layer.
The problem I am having is that when I try to reverse the colors on the frame, so that the border is Black, I get a pile of garbage. The only part of the image that is visible is the area that should be hidden by the border, and the center of the image is white. If I make the frame within the context of the image, it works, but not if I make it from scratch.
What am I doing wrong?

If you followed the steps, just fill Layer 1 with black or any color that you want the frame.
Edit>Fill

Help with floating frames or scrolling index

I think I am trying to do something simple and just don't
know how to do it. I would like to set up a scrollable text box on
an existing page so that the page doesn't have to be super long
with info...users can just scroll in the text box. I can't seem to
fiqure it out. text within the box will have links to outside of
the host site, and I would like to maintin the color scheme as
well. Any simple solutions out there or do I need to get into the
thickness of frames?
Thanks.

you could use a layer with the Overflow property set to Auto
or Scroll

Noob Help with inserting frame- is there a better way

Hi,
I am trying to create a frame in dreamweaver mx, but rather
than have a whole frameset, i just want 1 frame. (i dont know if i
am going about it the wring way).
The page is at this link
http://www.cryptomnesian.com/CryptomWebPage.html
I want the large box with the KPA to become the main content
box (this would eb the framed box), so that the mp3 player in the
top would not reload when a link was clicked. The links would
hopefully load up a new box.
Are frames the best way to so for this?? I am a noobie as far
as frames and css goes. Any suggestions or solutions much
appreciated.
Thanks,
perino

Look into using a Card Layout rather than manually swapping the panels: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/layout/card.html

Help with four Aironet 1300 with mountain in the middle

I am a novice at configuring Cisco equipment and need some pointers on what roles I would use to configure this site. The site consists of one main office, mountain top and one remote site. The main location with has a DSL connection, Server 2003 configured with DHCP, ip network 192.168.0.X and one Aironet 1300. The mountain top site has line of site to the main office and to the remote site. We have two Aironet 1300 on the mountain top site. At the remote site we have one Aironet 1300, network switch and a few pc?s. I think the Aironet at the main office needs to be the root bridge, but how should I configure the other Aironet?s? On the mountain site how would I connect the two Aironet?s together? Crossover cable? Also, I had a problem using telnet to configure the ip address on the Aironet?s at the mountain top site. I read the how to configure ip address when DHCP is disabled using HyperTerminal, but I can not get the access point to respond. At the remote site and main office I was able to configure the Aironet?s ip address to 192.168.0.180 and 192.168.0.185 and add a WEP key and a SSID. Basically the remote site needs access to the office site. Sorry for this being so long and thanks in advance. Casey

My advice is try them as two bridge connections (root and non-root). Have you tried this: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/customer/tech/tk722/tk809/technologies_configuration_example09186a008058f53e.shtml
About cable at the mountaintop, it depends on the distance between them.
For the IP config, just put an address on bvi 1:
int bvi 1
ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0
no shut ( maybe ?)
exit
ip default-gateway 192.168.0.1 (if necessary)
That' it. Does it ping at all ? Are you trying from the ethernet connection ?

Help with Printing Frames

      PrintJob pj = getToolkit().getPrintJob(frame,"Printing",null);
      if (pj!=null){
      Graphics pg = pj.getGraphics();
         printAll(pg);
         pg.dispose();
      pj.end();
}Anyone know how to fix this or have any simple source code to print frames?

copy frame 1 to frame 2.
make a list of all the library objects in frame 2. (anything else that's not in your library (like shapes) you can edit in frame 2 and they won't change in frame 1).
in your library, right click on one of the objects you noted in you list, click duplicate, click ok. (you may as well accept the default name for now.)
do the same for all the objects in your list.
now, click on one of the objects in frame 2 to select it. in the properties panel click swap and select the duplicate. do the same for all the frame 2 objects.
you can now (or anytime after they were created) edit the duplicate objects. frame 2 will reflect those changes. frame 1 will not.

Help with scrollable frames...

If I put a Landscape ad in a portrait frame and do a scrollable frame on that ad, how do I get to the next page of content when that requires a horizontal swipe? Thanks

HI, I have been trying to do this kind of scollable frames and it is impossible to navigate to the next page if you swipe in the scrollable area.
But take a look at Hatched 2013 app (featured in DPS gallery) they manage to go to the next page swiping in the scrollable area! Any idea of how they do that?
Thank you
