Help with Show/Hide Elements please!

I'm using the show/hide elements behavior for the first time and I'm not sure if it's working right. Am I supposed to be able to preview this feature, either in a browser or in Live View? It's not working in either, but I didn't know if the site had to actually be live for it to work or not.
Also, my div is set to display:none; and I didn't know if that is correct, or if I should set a Z-index on all of them.
Thank you!

Am I supposed to be able to preview this feature, either in a browser or in Live View?
Yes - it should work in both.
Also, my div is set to display:none; and I didn't know if that is correct, or if I should set a Z-index on all of them.
That could be the problem - show/hide toggles the visibility attribute between 'visible' and 'hidden'. If the element is styled with display:none, even when it's visible it won't be displayed. So, get rid of the display style, and just use the visibility one. The default z-index is "1", so depending on your layout and the desired interaction with these elements, you may need to adjust your z-index as well.

Need help with show/hide and layers moving

I'm more of a designer, so I don't know code or CSS well at
all. I'm doing an online portfolio for a class and need help with
layers not staying in place in different browsers. The portfolio is
created with a table, but I wanted to use the show/hide function
for thumbnails of work. Are layers the only way you can use this
function? I read layers don't work well with tables, so how else
can I make it so when you mouse over a thumbnail, the larger image
appears in another cell?

> I don't know code or CSS well at all.
That's unfortunate.
> layers not staying in place in different browsers.
Layers don't move. But the rest of your page does.
Before you get too wrapped up in layers, though, please read
this -
http://www.great-web-sights.com/g_layerlaws.asp
They are not good when be used as a primary layout method.
> I read layers don't work well with tables
They work fine with tables - but you have to understand both
tables and
layers to use them.
Why not show us your page, so we can see what you are
struggling with?

Show/hide elements in DW CS3

I've just posted this question and got a reply from John
Waller, thanks John, but what I mean is that I don't want to use
layers, this has to do with the positioning in a table. I want to
add images to a table which is in a layer so I can put margin-left
and margin-right for the layer to "auto" so the whole table
(including images) will always be centered. If I add layers to the
table and add images to the layers (to get the mouse-over effect)
the layers will not move with the table to the center of the page,
I hope you guys know what I mean.
Anybody knows if it would be possible in DW CS3 to do so, see
the original question underneath to get the picuture:
Thanks again.
Hi
In DW8 I often used the possibility to put several layers on
top of eachother with images in them, this way I could show/hide
layers so the images would be visible when having a mouse-over
action on a thumbnail for example.
Now DW-CS3 gives the option show/hide elements, however, I
can not simply put elements on top of eachother, which is what I
want.
Am I stuck on using DW8 and the show/hide layers option, or
is there a way to put multiple images (elements) on top of
eachother in DW-CS3?
Thanks, have a nice day

You don't need to use a 'layer' for that, and I assume that
you mean a <div>
not a layer, since the latter implies absolute positioning.
> If I add layers to the table
I sure hope you are referring to just div tags and not
layers, because you
would never want to put an absolutely positioned element
directly into a
table cell.
> I hope you guys know what I mean.
Yes, I'm afraid I do. This whole scheme is just wrong.
It would be much better to use the SetText behavior to simply
dynamically
write the desired image link into a named container on the
page, much like
you can see being done here -

and a tutorial

The functionality is identical in CS3, just the terms have
changed.
Layers (8) = AP Divs (CS3)
Show/Hide Layers (8) = Show/Hide Elements (CS3)
Go to the AP Elements panel (F2 or Window > AP Elements)
and ensure that 1)
all AP Elements are stacked on top of each other (ie there
are no child
elements which are shown by the name being indented in the
list); 2) each
Element has a unique Z index (if not re-number them manually
so they're
unique).
Then apply the Show-Hide Elements behavior to each AP
Element.

Need help with Adobe Premiere Elements 2

I can drag a large high rez jpeg into timeline. Then when I click to playback....it gets more pixelated. That's a bad beginning. Then, when I go to export it, I've tried several extensions. All look bad during playback on YouTube. This should be pretty simple. High quality jpeg, but is fuzzy in movie. What's going wrong?

hi Bill -
ok fine. I have PSDs too. I tried what you said.
I put a PSD right beside a JPEG in the timeline. I rendered it (which I
didn't know to do because the instructions don't even mention it. The
instructions are terrible. Seems it leaves out a lot of info.)
So, then I click PLAY on my monitor. I see no difference between the PSD
and the JPEG yet. So, if I want to put this on YouTube, what's the best way
exactly, without gettting too technical? It looks like I have the choice
between Exporting in Mpeg or Quicktime or Windows Media. I think youtube
likes wmv.

Do not know the particulars of PrE 2, but in later versions, you can
Rt-click on the Program Monitor, and choose Magnification = 100%, rather
than Fit. You might have to resize your Program Monitor, but check at 100%.
Â
Also remember a few points:
Â
1.) You are looking at a DVD-quality image now, and that was designed
with low-rez CRT TV's in mind, and NOT hi-rez computer monitors. DVD vs
hi-rez sources and displays is probably less than what VHS vs DVD was, not
that long ago.
2.) You are looking at an emulation, a preview
3.) Your images have already been compressed to JPEG once, loosing
quality. That is why I always work in PSD, especially if there has already
been one JPEG compression, whether in camera, or in the image processing
stage. I keep JPEG either out of my workflow, or as limited, as is
possible. Some do not see the quality loss with JPEG compression, but I do,
and if I can create images that are as good as it gets, I know that my
clients will be happy.

Good luck,

Can someone please help? Show/Hide layers

Hi there,
I am making a site for a friend and am having some weirdness
that I can't figure out. I have a series of layers that show/hide
based on various selections. Nothing complicated by any means. I am
using the Dreamweaver Show-hide layers functionality. I am sure I
have used it before in exactly the same way and not had this
problem.
So here is what it is. The page loads and most of the layers
are set to hidden and then they get toggled on/off based on various
selections. For some reason when the page loads in IE, all of the
layers are visible. In Firefox they are hidden as intended.
If someone has come across this before, or could take a
moment to look at the site, I would be very grateful. I have stared
at this and tweaked it so much that I am at a loss and I know that
my friend is really needing her site to just be up and running.
Also, now that I think of it, (and this is more of a nuisance
than a problem) I am using the snap layers extension to position my
layers. When you look at my site you will see that the layers look
crazy when the page loads and then eventually move into place. Is
there a way to make it so the layers are just already in place? Or
even if they could not become visible until after they have
snapped?
Thanks in advance. I really do appreciate any help you could
provide.
The address for the test server is

I agree with the honest answer. This is a very poor way to
make a page.
Nevertheless, in DW's design view, use the A/P Element panel,
and make sure
that the eyeball icon is CLOSED for each layer that you want
to be hidden
when the page loads. Then save and upload the page.

Show-Hide element in Dreamweaver CS5

Please can you tell me why when I validate a web page I get the following error when using the Show-Hide behaviour. The error is only reported for the first use of the feature and no of the others. I don't understand.
Line 239,         Column 235:     there is no attribute "onload"…HideLayers('drive','','hide')" onload="MM_showHideLayers('drive','','hide')" /…
✉
You have used the attribute named above in your document, but the       document type you are using does not support that attribute for this       element. This error is often caused by incorrect use of the "Strict"       document type with a document that uses frames (e.g. you must use       the "Transitional" document type to get the "target" attribute), or       by using vendor proprietary extensions such as "marginheight" (this       is usually fixed by using CSS to achieve the desired effect instead).
This error may also result if the element itself is not supported in       the document type you are using, as an undefined element will have no       supported attributes; in this case, see the element-undefined error       message for further information.
How to fix: check the spelling and case of the element and attribute,        (Remember XHTML is all lower-case) and/or        check that they are both allowed in the chosen document type, and/or       use CSS instead of this attribute. If you received this error when using the        <embed> element to incorporate flash media in a Web page, see the        FAQ item on valid flash.
Below is a copy of the relevant code -The code in bold is the line causing the error. You will notice I have used it more than once, but I didn't get any other error messages. Please help.

Artist's Palette is on the face of the Black Mountains and is noted for having various colours of rock. These colours are caused by the oxidation of different metals (red, pink and yellow is from iron salts, green is from decomposing tuff-derived mica, and manganese produces the purple). Called the Artist Drive Formation, the rock unit provides evidence for one of the Death Valley area's most violently explosive volcanic periods. The Miocene-aged formation is made up of cemented gravel, playa deposits, and much volcanic debris, perhaps 5,000 feet (1500 m) thick. Chemical weathering and hydrothermal alteration are also responsible for the variety of colours displayed in the Artist Drive Formation and nearby exposures of the Furnace Creek Formation.

Sometimes DW's javascripts will throw errors like that, most of the time it can be ignored.
What doctype are you using (the first line of your html)?
If you have a "Strict" Doctype, did you try changing it to a "Transitional" version as the error report suggested?

Help with Adobe Premiere Elements 8.0

Hello!
I recently began fooling around with Premiere elements and I had a couple of questions about it: First, if you could please watch this video: http://www.youtube.com/user/iTerabithia#p/search/6/01qfQSyq1WI In the almost beginning it shows Lucy hug Edmund and then a shot of Lucy crying fades into it and then out again. Do you know how to do that with Adobe Premiere Elements? And also, how is that color achieved from the very beginning of the video? And is there any way to do audio effects? If you could please answer these questions I would appreciate it ever so much!
Thanks!

John T.,
Thanks. I should have added that info.
What does that little "scene" look like to you? I'm thinking a Video Clip on a higher Video Track, and maybe with less that 100% Opacity. Guess that if it covers the whole Frame, it would not be a PiP, officially, but would involve the same principles.
Appreciated,

Text rollover with show/hide layer behavior

How can I set text to change colors when you roll over it AND
to have it show/hide other layers at the same time, while still
keeping the new rollover color?
For instance, when you scroll over a word in a list, it
highlights that word, reveals more layers (ie, text and images),
and all that stays there until you rollover something else
Im using Dreamweaver 2004 and its been quite a while since
Ive been able to get into it.
Thanks!

Let's say you have the given content, some text in my example
in a layer identified as layer1.
<div id="layer1">some text</div>
In order to set a different font-colour at the mouseover
event you need to add this code to your css file:
#layer{
color:#000000;}
#layer:hover{
color:#DDDDDD;}
According to the code above the some text in the layer will
be displayed with black and at mouseover event it will be changed
to silver.
If you want to hide/show certain text you may use opacity
style attributum or implement something like the mootools slide
effect (
http://demos.mootools.net/Fx.Slide).
Hope this helps:)

Help with Network UI Element

My application has a need for the Network UI Element. We've been able to get the element initialized however I don't know how to access the element.
For example, I assigned an action to the NodeSelected, but when I select a node, the method is not called.
Also, once the user changes the layout, how do I get the results so I can write them back to the xml file?
Any help woule be appreciated. A tutorial link for the Network element would be ideal.
Thanks.

I've made some progress with this (it's back in scope) however now I am having a problem that with the Network element on the screen, my page "freezes" on reload.
My setup is like this:
wdContext
--> DataSourceNode (1:1)
--> DataSource (type Resource)
The DataSource node has a supply function named supplyDataSource. In this function I connect to the xml document and create the resource from the input stream. This works fine, the chart is displayed.
However now when I click on a button (which displays a popup window for search) the chart updates, but my window never opens, I just get the "loading" animated icon, but no window.
Any ideas? If there is additional information needed, please let me know.
Thanks.

Need some help with the colour profile please. Urgent! Thanks

Dear all, I need help with the colour profile of my photoshop CS6.
I've taken a photo with my Canon DSLR. When I opened the raw with ACDSee, the colour looks perfectly ok.
So I go ahead and open in photoshop. I did nothing to the photo. It still looks ok
Then I'm prompt the Embedded Profile Mismatch error. I go ahead and choose Discard the embedded profile option
And the colour started to get messed up.
And the output is a total diasater
Put the above photo side by side with the raw, the red has became crimson!!
So I tried the other option, Use the embedded profile
The whole picture turns yellowish in Photoshop's interface
And the output is just the same as the third option.
Could someone please guide me how to fix this? Thank you.

I'm prompt the Embedded Profile Mismatch error. I go ahead and choose Discard the embedded profile option
always use the embedded profile when opening tagged images in Photoshop - at that point Photoshop will convert the source colors over to your monitor space correctly
if your colors are wrong at that point either your monitor profile is off, or your source colors are not what you think they are - if other apps are displaying correctly you most likely have either a defective monitor profile or source profile issues
windows calibrate link:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Calibrate-your-display
for Photoshop to work properly, i recall you want to have "use my settings for this device" checked in Color Management> Device tab
you may want to download the PDI reference image to check your monitor and print workflows
and complete five easy steps to profile enlightenment in Photoshop
with your settings, monitor profile and source profiles sorted out it should be pretty easy to pinpoint the problem...

Need help with threads?.. please check my approach!!

Hello frnds,
I am trying to write a program.. who monitors my external tool.. please check my way of doing it.. as whenever i write programs having thread.. i end up goosy.. :(
first let me tell.. what I want from program.. I have to start an external tool.. on separate thread.. (as it takes some time).. then it takes some arguments(3 arguments).. from file.. so i read the file.. and have to run tool.. continously.. until there are arguments left.. in file.. or.. user has stopped it by pressing STOP button..
I have to put a marker in file too.. so that.. if program started again.. file is read from marker postion.. !!
Hope I make clear.. what am trying to do!!
My approach is like..
1. Have two buttons.. START and STOP on Frame..
START--> pressed
2. check marker("$" sign.. placed in beginning of file during start).. on file..
     read File from marker.. got 3 arg.. pass it to tool.. and run it.. (on separate thread).. put marker.. (for next reading)
     Step 2.. continously..
3. STOP--> pressed
     until last thread.. stops.. keep running the tool.. and when last thread stops.. stop reading any more arguments..
Question is:
1. Should i read file again and again.. ?.. or read it once after "$" sign.. store data in array.. and once stopped pressed.. read file again.. and put marker ("$" sign) at last read line..
2. how should i know when my thread has stopped.. so I start tool again??.. am totally confused.. !!
please modify my approach.. if u find anything odd..
Thanks a lot in advance

Hello,
I have no experience with threads or with having more than run "program" in a single java file. All my java files have the same structure. This master.java looks something like this:
---master.java---------------------------------------------------
import java.sql.*;
import...
public class Master {
public static void main(String args []) throws SQLException, IOException {
//create connection pool here
while (true) { // start loop here (each loop takes about five minutes)
// set values of variables
// select a slave process to run (from a list of slave programs)
execute selected slave program
// check for loop exit value
} // end while loop
System.out.println("Program Complete");
} catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println("Error: " + e);
} finally {
if (rSet1 != null)
try { rSet1.close(); } catch( SQLException ignore ) { /* ignored */ }
connection.close();
-------end master.java--------------------------------------------------------
This master.java program will run continuously for days or weeks, each time through the loop starting another slave process which runs for five minutes to up to an hour, which means there may be ten to twenty of these slave processes running simultaneously.
I believe threads is the best way to do this, but I don't know where to locate these slave programs: either inside the master.java program or separate slave.java files? I will need help with either method.
Your help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Show / Hide Elements - how to make hidden elements non-interactive

Hi,
Is there a way to make hidden obejcts (through 'Show / Hide') not only hidden but completely non-interactive? I.e. even if an image is hidden, it is still click-able, which will release its set commandos (such as 'Swap Image' or 'Set Text of Container').

Thanks a bunch! I haven't started out with the code yet. Just made some sketches to see what I need to research etc.
When I get around to it, I'll get back to you!

Need help with flash player installation please !!!!

Hello,
I need help with my flash player installation because every time I access a movie this is the message I receive.
This content on Xfinity TV is not available for viewing with Chrome's "Incognito" mode. To play this video using Chrome, please view this page without "Incognito" mode.
Still having problems? Try resetting your Flash player license.

Incognito mode is a Google Chrome setting when you open a new window (Cmd+Shift+N on a Mac Ctrl+Shift+N on Windows) It opens a "private" window with no cookies and no tracking. The problem with it is that when you disable cookies, your license files are not sent to the site (whetehr it's YouTube or xFinity or any other that uses license files for paid content) and it treats you as if you're a first time visitor. Paid videos won't play wihtout the cookies sending the license file info.
This isn't a Flash Player setting. It's in Chrome. I did some research and according to Google, "Incignito" mode is off by default, and can ONLY be activate by the keyboard shortcut. There IS a way to disable it from the registry http://dev.chromium.org/administrators/policy-list-3#IncognitoModeAvailability

Help with Rendering/Finalizing Project Please?

Hi,
I am so new to this entire Adobe and video making that I've spent the last few hours pulling hair literally. I am hoping that some of you experts can take some time to give this novice some much needed guidance. Okay, I'm begging!
I recorded a wedding on a XHA1 MiniDV camera in 1080p 24fps. Captured the clips to PP CS4 which in turn makes them MPEG, I believe. Included in my project are addition clips imported from a Canon HF S21 also in 1080p 24fps and a Rebel T2i in ?? format. Didn't use too many clips from the rebel.
Anyhow, my project settings in PP are:
Video - Display format = Frames

Here is a picture of the sequence settings:
Again, sorry for the ignorance and stupiditiy. I am wondering what would help.
I am trying to burn it all with chapter markers and additional features to a DVD.
- What would be the BEST settings for exporting to Encore?
- Should I separate each section into a different sequence - would that help? For example, the pre-ceremony to one sequence. The ceremony to another. The reception to another. Or should I make new projects for each?
- How can I make my computer faster? Is it the memory, ram, etc? What should I do?
Right now, it has failed over and over in rendering in After Effects. It stops encoding when I export to AME. It says 158 hours for rendering in PP.
HELP!
I am using an iMac and here are computer specs (again, I am not even sure what to post to help you all help me):
Model Name: iMac
Model Identifier: iMac11,3
Processor Name: Intel Core i7
Processor Speed: 2.93 GHz
Number Of Processors: 1
Total Number Of Cores: 4
L2 Cache (per core): 256 KB
L3 Cache: 8 MB
Memory: 8 GB
Processor Interconnect Speed: 4.8 GT/s
Boot ROM Version: IM112.0057.B00
SMC Version (system): 1.59f2
Here is a pic of what I'm working on. I know the pic-in-pic feature probably doesn't help with rendering time either but 158 hours is killing me. In fact, when I go to sleep, I wake up to an error message where PP has closed.

leevang,
Your computer looks great. I wouldn't be too worried about the time PP shows for encoding etc.
I have found that right when I first start to encode a project, 73 hours or 12 hours is normal. Rendering is not necessary for encoding. However when I look back later, the time has dropped greatly.
Down to 2 or 3 hours. that's when I follow Jeff B.'s suggestions when I do a 2X scan.......

Help with Show/Hide Elements please!
