Help with page

I have created a site for a language schools tours, which a
member of staff here will update.
The site contains boxes of information in single tables.
here it is
http://tours.elanguest.com
(under construction)
I'm trying to make it easy to arrange the site for the guy
inputing the data.At the moment the boxes containing the tour
pictures and text
are stuck in a table row.
I would like to find a way to be able to automatically create
these box's perhaps with a repeating region, with fixed size.
and also basically make it very easy to move the boxes
around,
like a windows desktop where the icons are locked to a grid
and you arange by name so on.
Thankyou for youre time.

Search DW's F1 Help for a far better explanation than can be
given here.
Looking at your page, though, there are other problems -
<style type="text/css">
a {display: block}
a:link, a:visited {text-decoration: none;}
a:hover {text-decoration: none; color: yellow}
a {text-decoration: none;}
.style92 {font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif}
-->

</style>
The HTML comments in your stylesheet are going to be a
problem for you.
Also, your page is not using a template and you would need to
have a
template/child structure to use Template repeating tables.
Finally, what is it you want to repeat? A new row of
features? Or add more
features to a single row?

Help with page numbering.

Hello. I've searched HIGH and LOW for answers on this. I've gone through the KB documents and the User's manual and NOTHING is helping with my challenge.
I'm writing a manuscript. I need PAGE 1 to start several pages into the document and automatically repeat in a header on each page. How do I accomplish that? I've tried with Inspector but the minute I click into the header it "grays-out" the inspector control for pagination.
I also have numerous SEPARATE Pages documents (chapters) that I want to recognize the numbering from the chapter before. How do I accomplish that?
I'm very frustrated, and you would truly be a hero to me by helping answer my questions. Thanks so much, Dan

You need to break the document into sections in the +Inspector > Layout (2nd tab) > Section+.
The First section would be your preface possibly counting in roman numerals.
The second section would start your count at page 1.
To edit the header if it is not selectable go +Menu > Format > Advanced > Make Master Objects Selectable+
Click into the header then go +Menu > Insert > Page Number+
To control the numbering go +Inspector > Layout (2nd tab) > Section > Start at+
If you can't insert into a Header it may be because it is has been locked or grouped
Both of these can be undone in +Menu > Arrange > Unlock or Ungroup+
You will have to set the starting number in separate documents manually. Remember right hand pages are always odd, if need be add a blank page at the end of a previous document.

Help with Page Breaks!

Hello,
I am having great difficulty with page breaks.
I have included a link below to a jpg of a format template I am working on (edited for public release, but it works):
http://home.swbell.net/grog1/work/pagebreaksample.jpg
The layout template has many text form fields but I have re-colored them all to grey so that the pagebreak stands out in pink (and default text is the same as the help text for clarity).
The data format that I am using for this layout template can be found at:
http://home.swbell.net/grog1/work/testdata.xml
This data is for sample use only and would (normally) contain many G_ORDERS for multiple G_ORD_TYPES in multiple G_REGIONS.
My problem is that it does not matter where I place the page break, it simply does not work correctly.
As you can see from the current placement I WISH the report to break between each and every occurrences of REGION in the group “REGION”. At this placement it does not break at all.
I ‘can’ get the report to break (incorrectly, but at least it breaks) if I place this exact same syntax into the innermost grouping of data (i.e. the G_ORDER group) but even then the breaking is NOT CONSISTENT at all. In this case I would ‘expect’ it to break before every order…it does not.
I have also tried the syntax: “ <xsl:if xdofo:ctx="inblock" test="1=1"><xsl:attribute name="break-before">page</xsl:attribute></xsl:if> “ (without the quotes which got from he forum here) as well as the MSWORD pagebreak (which has never worked for me). None of these work correctly.
Any assistance in or insight into getting my reports to CONSISTENTLY break at the appropriate times would be most appreciated as I have been trying to get this to work for several days now...
Thank you,
Scott

Hello again!
I have the pagebreak problem working, but I would dearly like some insight as to why/how it is working…
I have template builder 10.1.3.2.1 for reference and I now have the report breaking at the correct times, i.e. after each region.
My confusion is that to get it to work I must use the syntax and placement of the pagebreak text field exactly as shown below. No other placement cause the pages to break correctly and the other syntax sample varations I have found on this forum, etc (listed above) do not work at all.
Please review the link to the (now working format template) jpg and provide feedback/insight.

Thanks in advance for feedback,
Scott

Need help with Page Layout and Background Scaling

hello, everyone.
I am in the process of designing a new website for myself,
and while I was researching nicely designed pages to use as
inspiration, I stumbled upon this site:
http://www.jeffsarmiento.com/
obviously, the design is very impressive, but it also
incorporates a lot of web mechanics that I have been trying to
figure out, so I will use this page as an example.
one thing I need help with is backgrounds. as you can see in
the posted website, the creator used a seamlessly tiled paper
texture to display the bulk of his content on. also make not of the
pattern that is located to the left of the paper texture. how do I
create seamless backgrounds like this that will scale to fit any
amount of content or any resolution? I can't imagine that the guy
that made that site created a new size background every time he
made an update, so there has to be an easier way.
the second thing that I am having trouble with is general
site layout. I have read that most sites used series of invisible
tables to organize there content, but when I open the source of
this page in dreamweaver, he was using something different. div
tags? should I be using these? who do I use them? are there any
general layout tips that someone could pass on to me? perhaps a
link to a good tutorial?
please help me. i am very confused.
thanks so much.

IMO not a good site to emulate. To wit:
Top background image:
http://www.jeffsarmiento.com/images/bg-top.jpg;
745px
x 350px 137K
Main background image:
http://www.jeffsarmiento.com/images/bg-tile.jpg;
745px x 950px 130K
Total page size: 454K (Check here:
www.websiteoptimization.com)
Website usability experts routinely recommend a maximum page
size of ~80K
Check out the We We Scale @ www.FutureNowInc.com/wewe/ where
they suggest,
"You speak about yourself approximately 0,003 times as often
as you speak
about your customers. Might that have an impact on your
effectiveness?"
That is 100% consistent with the #1 Web Design mistake:
"Believing people
care about you and your web site." or to phrase more
expansively, "Our site
tries to tell you how wonderful we are as a company, but not
how we're going
to solve your problems."
www.sitepoint.com has some excellent books on making a
website actually
attractive and usable at the same time.

Help with Pages & Templetes

I'm making my site in Adobe Muse and upgraded my the Business Catalyst to webMarketing. I'm trying to make a page templete from muse to catalyst but I'm not getting the option under Site Manager.
Under Site Manager I only have >
Web Forms
System E-mails
I'm looking for the pages or templete options in there. Am I looking in the wrong place or have the worng package?
Thanks for any help with this

Yeah, I every upgraded one step more to see if that would fix it to the webCommerce package to see if that would fix it. Everything else is there, and i did find what I needed on the old layout, but its still not on the v3 layout.
I'm going to have to contact support in the morning, thanks for your help.

PC to Mac convert: help with Pages

I recently moved my father from a PC to a Mac. He's liking it so far but stumped by one problem.
He was very fond of using Outlook and Word as his email editor. This alowed him to format to a much higher degree since Word essential writes the emails in HTML with all the implied bells and whistles.
I suggested we try Pages to the same effect. He likes Pages so far but we're stymied as to how to send the final document via email. He does NOT want to send it as an attachment.
Is it possible to send the final Page as the actual email (embedded)?

No, you can't do what you want with Pages. Best search/ask how you can do formatted email in the forum for that kind of question:

Help with page formatting in PDF

Hope that someone can help me with a problem I have.
I have just purchased Acrobat 9 Pro Extended Version 9.0.0, and am a very new user of Acrobat.
The problem I have is converting a Word 2002 and SP3 documents (multi pages to PDF.
The Word document is formatted with the correct margins in that all the text and Header are on the correct pages, but when converted to PDF a small part of the upper text on the next page moves up onto the previous page. Resetting the top ande bottom margins helps, but this should not be necessary.
Anyone have any ideas to correct this problem.
clifton06

You version of WORD defaults to using printer metrics. There are 2 ways to resolve the issue. 1. go to print and select the Adobe PDF printer, back out and fist the document issues in WORD. 2. Deep in the options of WORD, there is a selection for using printer metrics (I assume your version also has this selection). Uncheck that and the problem should go away. You could also change your default printer to the Adobe PDF printer.
WORD 2007 was changed to have the default set to NOT use printer metrics. All previous versions used the metrics. Thus when you change the printer, WORD reflows the document. The result may be errors in bookmarks, page numbers, and related issues.

Urgent help with Pages 5.0 needed

Hi guys,
I need urgent help! I deleted Pages 5.0 (as I HATED it) but now can't open a very important document. Can someone please tell me how to reinstall it??
Thanks
Kellie

Downloading again is not as easy as that. you must find the app in the "Purchased" section of the
app store and I think you then must hold down the option key to reinstall it.
BTW, I only worked with one document as a trial for Pages 5 and then imported it to Word and saved it. I then deleted Pages 5 (I can't believe anyone who works with software would think that piece of worthless junk would sufice for anyone who uses a word processor professionally), reopened the Word document and saved it in Pages 09.
I hope this helps

Help with page set in indesign!!!

Hi I am trying to set up a 8.5 x 11 brochure with double sided pages. the pages will originally be 17 x 11 so i can fold them into the correct size. how do I go about setting this up? I know i need to print duplex with saddle stitch but when i try to set up the 17 x 11 pages in indesign it makes the whole booklet that length. help....

We need to be very clear about waht you mean by a "page" rather than the number of sheets on which this is going to be printed. If the brochure is one sheet of 11 x 17, printed on both sides and folded so it has 4 panels, then you can set it up as a two-page 11 x 17 document. I do it this way most of the time, and set the pages with two columns to make the margins at the gutter where it folds for convenience in layout. Side one (page 1 in the layout) would have the back cover on the left and the front cover onthe right, and side two (page 2 in your layout) would have the two inside "pages."
In theory you can set up a longer document this way, too, but it's so much work to remember the imposition pattern and such a hassle and prone to error to work this way instead of looking at the design as the readers see the finished product, that I would never do it for more pages. Setting up as 8.5 x 11 facing pages is fast, easy to work with, allows for changing the page count if necessary, and works for automatic page numbering, so it just makes more sense to do that if you will be printing more than one sheet of paper.

Help with Page Link

Have inserted a hyperlink to a page on the B Master of my file, when the Hyperlink is checked in the file it is directed to the correct place, when I do Folio Preview the link goes to a different page and when I Create an App the link is still incorrect, can anyone help please?????? The Preflight Check displays no errors!

Creating an IPad app. The issue is with the alternate layout. I have a a
small graphic which when tapped takes the user back to the home page of the
alternate layout.
I have checked the link in the Hyperlinks Panel and it links to the correct
page. When I produce a Folio Preview the link goes to the last page of the
alternate layout instead of the first page. Hope this clarifies
Thanks Barb

Help with page layout please

This may be a stupid question, but I am new and still
learning. I hope that someone will help me out. I am learning
Dreamweaver and I notice that some more advanced looking pages have
better looking layouts. For example this link
http://www.templatemonster.com/website-templates/20061.html
is of a page that has a heading box with Newspaper text and then
the page background color appears to be off white… But on top
of the heading box and the background, It appears to be a large
rectangular box with more boxes inside it and the biggest box
overlays the newspaper heading box slightly. What is this called
and how do I achieve this? I am thinking this is some type of
advanced form of tables. But I notice on other pages ex:
http://www.templatemonster.com/website-templates/19973.html,
http://www.templatemonster.com/website-templates/19976.html
some boxes are rounder and they are placed all over the page…
I didn’t think you could move/adjust tables in Dreamweaver. I
notice that some pages even have different background design on
some parts of the background and not all… how is that
possible if you can only select a solid color for your background
color in Dreamweaver? Are there tutorials somewhere that I could
follow?

>more advanced looking pages have better looking layouts.
Ok... so take a look at the CODE for those pages... As well
as the links below - another way to learn (including anyone else's
bad habits) is to find a page you like, and then tell your web
browser to show you the code view for the page and/or do a "Save
As" and save the page to your computer to then copy & paste
code segments into your file (in IE click View at the top, select
Source from the options)

Help with Page Preloader

I have a legacy application that has been working fine with
<cfflush> to act as a preloader for display a large amount of
records. However, I am being forced to port this application
(currently in frames) over to a new template that usese tables
& nested tables. The portion of this new template that I can
put my content is now buried within a nested table and from what I
read, cfflush will not work with this since it won't display any
information until that portion of the table is loaded. What can I
do? I have tried a couple Javascript page preloaders, but they are
not working. I was not the original developer of this code and
really don't want to rewrite it. Any help would be much
appreciated.

Too bad you aren't still in frames, there is a real sneaky
way of doing a preloader in Frames for this exact situation.
One way of doing this that is a bit clunky but with tables it
may be your only way, is to put javascript at the bottom of the
page that opens a 1px by 1px window. This window has the template
that processes your query or whatever. When it is done it writes it
out to the PARENT page (tables page) where you want it.

Help with Page Parameters with PDK and/or PL/SQL

Hello,
I'm having difficulties get the real path of pages with PL / SQL. Another parameter that can not put the portlet in PL / SQL is the HTTP_REFERER.
I read the PDK API but I could not understand how to use the
HTTP_REFERER
And as I get the realpath of the page? (In a portlet within the page in PL / SQL or JSP)
Example: /portal/page/portal/groupage/page/page...
Somebody can help me?

Are you using Oracle Application Server Portal's PDK? If so, you would have better luck posting to that forum: Oracle Application Server Portal

Help with page layout

Hi,
I'm trying to design a page with a table layout having different number of rows in 2 columns:
Line 1: ____ City: ____
Line 2: ____ State: ___
Line 3: ____ Country: _____
<no data here> Postal Code: ______
I have tried using rowLayout ->
|_ CellFormat
|_MessageComponentLayout (for the Line1, Line2 and Line3) (1 column, 4 rows)
|_ CellFormat
|_MessageComponentLayout (for CIty, State, Country etc.) (1 column, 4 rows)
But this is not gettig aligned properly. The first cell is just 3 rows wide and 2 is 4 rows, so there are emplty spaces. How can we best design this?
I have to design another layout with 3 and 5 rows in 2 columns.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ashish
Edited by: Ashish Srivastava on Feb 10, 2010 12:59 AM

Hi Reetesh,
For the first region I was able to add a MessageLayout region to MessageComponentLayout and add a space item to MessageLayout. It works fine.
However, I have another region where I need to display 3 fields in column1 and 6 fields in column2. I tried the same approach by adding 3 spacer Items to MessageLayout (beneath the 3rd field). But this is not working.
The layout for this region (part of the main table) is:
rowLayout
--- Cellformat
-------Region (Header)
----------MessageComponentLayout
-------------field1 (messageTextInput)
-------------field3 (messageTextInput)
-------------messageLayout
----------------spacer1
----------------spacer2
----------------spacer3
-------------field4(messageTextInput)
-------------field5(messageTextInput)
-------------field6(messageTextInput)
-------------field7(messageTextInput)
-------------field8(messageTextInput)
-------------field9(messageTextInput)
I want to display it as:
field1 field4
field2 field5
field3 field6
<empty> field7
<empty> field8
<empty> field9
Sorry to bother you with this, but if you can suggest anything, it would be great.
Thanks,
Ashish

Need help with page navigation

I've got a database where records are retrieved and displayed in a repeating region. I've added page navigation to it because I'm getting enough records in the database that scrolling through them all on a single page is getting to be a very big page. The page navigation works as far as the first page goes. I get the correct records on the first page based on my selection critiera. However, when a result set spans multiple pages, when I hit 'next page', instead of going to the second page based on the search critiera, the records displaying on the second page are the records that would be on the section page if I selected every record in the database.
My search critiera is pretty complex, so I have not found a way to develop it inside of the recordset definition panel in DW, but I have attempted to recreate the page from scratch and I'm getting the same result each time.
Does anyone have a snippet of code to make the pagination work correctly?
This is the code that DW put in there:
maxRows_rs_results = 10;
$pageNum_rs_results = 0;
if (isset($_GET['pageNum_rs_results'])) {
$pageNum_rs_results = $_GET['pageNum_rs_results'];
$startRow_rs_results = $pageNum_rs_results * $maxRows_rs_results;
$queryString_rs_results = "";
if (!empty($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'])) {
$params = explode("&", $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']);
$newParams = array();
foreach ($params as $param) {
    if (stristr($param, "pageNum_rs_results") == false &&
        stristr($param, "totalRows_rs_results") == false) {
      array_push($newParams, $param);
if (count($newParams) != 0) {
    $queryString_rs_results = "&" . htmlentities(implode("&", $newParams));
$query_limit_rs_results = sprintf("%s LIMIT %d, %d", $query_rs_results, $startRow_rs_results, $maxRows_rs_results);
$rs_results = mysql_query($query_limit_rs_results, $dqdb) or die(mysql_error());
$row_rs_results = mysql_fetch_assoc($rs_results);
if (isset($_GET['totalRows_rs_results'])) {
$totalRows_rs_results = $_GET['totalRows_rs_results'];
} else {
$all_rs_results = mysql_query($query_rs_results);
$totalRows_rs_results = mysql_num_rows($all_rs_results);
$totalPages_rs_results = ceil($totalRows_rs_results/$maxRows_rs_results)-1;
TIA!

I've put some echo statements into my code to figure out what it is doing and I can see why I'm getting the results I'm getting, but I don't know how to fix it.
Here's a description of my site. A user has a select form where they can select records matching their critiera. There are over 30 attributes that can be selected. None of them can be selected and that results in every record in the database being displayed. Any combination of the attributes can be selected and that results in the set of records that match that criteria.
There is one caveat. One of the attributes has multiple possible values. Any given record will only have one value for that attribute, but the selection critiera may include multiple values of that attribute. So in the middle of the string of "<value = > and <value = >", I have "and (<value = > OR <value = > OR....) and <value=>". You can see the actual select statement I have built in a previous discussion I started.
I'm not a sophisticated php programmer or DW user for that matter, so I don't know how to build an array to capture my record data and then read the array to display the page. It would be simpler if the selection critiera wasn't so complex - I have found several snippets of code that work well with simple select statements, but I have not been able to adjust them to work with this kind of selection possibility.
So what I see happening is that after the first mysql statement correctly retrieves the results set, the code to set the select statement is executed again. But at this second time through, the $_POST values from my form are no longer set to correctly build the select statement. I thought I might save the select statement and use some if/else logic to circumvent this, but all variables seem to be getting reset when the logic goes back up to the top of the code.
I hope I'm describing this clearly enough to generate some helpful responses.
TIA!
