How can I use text as a button?

I am looking to use text as a button or event trigger.  I want to place the text over a picture and trigger an event if the user clicks the text, but I do not want to obstruct the picture with a button.  I'd also like to be able to modify the text color depending on whether it has been selected by the use.  Does anybosy know an easy way to do this?

The transparent color is the little [T] in the upper right corner of the color palette (see image).

  • How can i use text only instead of text plus the folder icon in the bookmarks toolbar; older firefox allowed this.

    I prefer using text only instead of text plus a folder icon in the bookmarks toolbar because it used less space and I can display more bookmark folders in that toolbar. Is that possible in Firefox 4.0? It was possible in the earlier versions of Firefox. If it is possible in Firefox 4.0 how do I do that? Thank you.

    First install the "Stylish:" extension then you have thousands of styles available to choose from, most consist of only a few lines, and you can modify them to suit yourself.

  • How can I use internal frames with buttons to call others internal frames?

    Hello.
    I'm building a MDI-application using JFrames and several JInternalFrames, but I have problems.
    A JFrame has JMenuBar with JMenu and JMenuItem. One of these, call the first JInternal that has its interface. In this interface has a button that call other type (a class extension of JInternalFrame) JInternalFrame.
    When I clicked button happen a exception (java.lang.NullPointer).
    What happening?
    Help me, please.

    What i usually do is to give my desktop to my internal frames. So within the internalframe, you can use your desktop and add other internal frames to it.
    The code should look something like the following.
    desktop = your JDesktopPane
    MyInternalFrame = an InternalFrame
    AnotherMyInternalFrame = another InternalFrame
    public class MyInternalFrame extends JInternalFrame implements ActionListener
      private JButton jb = new JButton("Launch");
      private JLayeredPane desktop = null;
      public MyInternalFrame(JLayeredPane desktop)
        this.desktop = desktop;
        getContentPane().add(jb);
        jb.addActionListener(this);
      public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae)
        if (ae.getSource() == jb)
          desktop.add(new AnotherMyInternalFrame(desktop),JLayeredPane.DEFAULT_LAYER);
    }

    c. Is there any tutorial regarding this ?? Could you share it to me please ..
    Really need your guidances..
    regards,
    Niel..

    Hi Niel,
    You can use the method you specified.
    In Bex Analyzer you have design mode where you can have the following items Button, Analysis Grid and Combo box.
    To work with the button you need to use the Command Wizard which consists of pre-defined functions, out of those select the one which suits your requirement and supply the parameters. As it is done thorugh a Wizard it would be easy to do.
    Also,
    The Button Name displays the name of the button, which is generated automatically and is unique. This name is used on the BEx Analyzer Design Toolbar menu to refer to a particular instance of the button.
    · Range u2013 Manipulate coordinates for a cell or cells in this field to move or resize the button.
    · Button Text - The text (caption) you want to display on the button. You can use this to describe the command the button executes.
    · Command Range (optional) - Specify a three-column range of cells in the worksheet that contains command parameters. In these cells, you provide the same parameters (Name, Index, and Value) as in the Static Parameters, but in the worksheet these can be variable, changing during
    navigation based on query results or on a value you manually specify.

  • How can I use the button in one panel to control the other panel's appearing and disappearing?

    How can I use the button in one panel to control the other panel's
    appearing and disappearing? What I want is when I push the button on
    one button . another panel appears to display something and when I
    push it again, that the second panel disappears.

    > How can I use the button in one panel to control the other panel's

    >
    You want to use a combination of three features, a button on the panel,
    code to notice value changes using either polling in a state machine of
    some sort or an event structure, and a VI Server property node to set
    the Visible property of the VI being opened and closed.
    The button exists on the controlling panel. The code to notice value
    changes is probably on the controlling panel's diagram, and this diagram
    sets the Visible property node of a VI class property node to FALSE or
    TRUE to show or
    hide the panel. To get the VI reference to wire to the
    property node, you probably want to use the Open VI Reference node with
    the VI name.

    Hello
    You may try the following AppleScript script. It will ask you to choose a root folder where to start searching for *.map files and then create a CSV file named "out.csv" on desktop which you may import to Excel.
    set f to (choose folder with prompt "Choose the root folder to start searching")'s POSIX path
    if f ends with "/" then set f to f's text 1 thru -2
    do shell script "/usr/bin/perl -CSDA -w <<'EOF' - " & f's quoted form & " > ~/Desktop/out.csv
    use strict;
    use open IN => ':crlf';
    chdir $ARGV[0] or die qq($!);
    local $/ = qq(\\0);
    my @ff = map {chomp; $_} qx(find . -type f -iname '*.map' -print0);
    local $/ = qq(\\n);
    #     CSV spec
    #     - record separator is CRLF
    #     - field separator is comma
    #     - every field is quoted
    #     - text encoding is UTF-8
    local $\\ = qq(\\015\\012);    # CRLF

  • How can I use javascript in a Text Area with HTML editor??

    My question is... how can I use javascript in Text Area with HTML editor??
    I can use javascript functions that change the content of Text Areas but i can´t if i try in text area with html editor....
    I need to limit number of characters in a text area with html editor and i can´t.
    could anybody help me please?

    I have been experiencing similar problems with the HTML Editor and have managed to find an answer that should start to answer some of my questions. The Apex HTML Editor Standard is actually an HTML editor called FCKeditor. The FCKeditor has a Javascript API that can be found at http://docs.fckeditor.net/FCKeditor_2.x/Developers_Guide/JavaScript_API. Unfortuately this doesn't seem to give the whole answer and I found more at http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/thread.cfm/threadid:49607.
    I needed to get the text entered within my html editor standard (e.g. P1_MYTEXT) and use it within my javascript function. I did this by using the following script
    <script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
    function showtext(){
    var oEditor = FCKeditorAPI.GetInstance('P1_MYTEXT');
    var editortext = escape(oEditor.GetXHTML(oEditor.FormatOutput));
    alert(editortext);
    </script>
    Hope this helps.
