How can import XML, keeping "untagged" TABs?

At a number of places at this forum I find this or similar comments / recommendations:
"my advice would be to avoid formatting text by doing anything to the XML file. InDesign is made for formatting text, so it can do it better. I recommend you take a close look at how the tags and paragraph returns are arranged in the (pre-import) InDesign document rather than the XML file."
I try to do follow this advise, by putting TABs in the "template". See image below, showing tagged placeholder text:
As you can see, there are TABs between the tags in the template. When importing a matching `XML file, these TABs disappear, and the text looks like this:
I have tried a lot of combinations of import settings, but none of them seems to result in keeping the tabs.
This import setting:
results in a fairly good looking import, but the tabs are gone...
Others have put the tabs and white space data inside the XML, but every time they say that, there is a comment like the one referred to at the top of this post.
But then, how CAN tabs in the template be kept when importing XML? Please explain.
(Edit: The TABs are of cource tagged in one meaning, being inside the surrounding PRD elements in my example)
Best regards,
Andreas

I might be talking to myself here. Anyway:
Chosing to ignore white space when importing...
means that the import is leaving the TABs intact, but that somehow also means that Carriage Returns and/or Line Feeds are not repeated as it was properly before:
So if tabs are kept this way, then how should I manage new lines?

How can import nokia n97 contacts in iPhone 4 which is stored in window vista

depend on how it's stored
when you connect your iphone to your computer and open your itunes on the computer
and click on the iphone under devices and get the iphone content menu you can
click on the info tab on the content menu
there you can choose how you will be syncronizing contacts to your iphone
if what you mean by "is stored in windows vista" is avaible in the dropdownbox then choose
that otherwise you need to export the contacts from the "stored by windows vista" to an options

On Firefox 4, how can I put one "new tab" on the "tab bar" (The + sign) and one next to the "back/forward" buttons (as in FF 3.6)?

On Firefox 4, how can I put one "new tab" on the "tab bar" (The + sign) and one next to the "back/forward" buttons (as in FF 3.6)?
In my current Firefox, the "new tab" icon/item from the "customize" pop-up window menu of items is placed next to my home, back, forward buttons near the top-left of my header (Button 1 for "new tab"). Then, the tab bar automatically come with a small tab (with a + sign) to the right of your last tab opened (so you click on + and a new tab opens. Button 2 for "new tab"). I like to have this "new tab" button twice (as a + mini tab, and next to my "home icon".
When I upgraded to Firefox 4, I seemed to be only able to "customize" or use the "new tab" in one place. Either as an icon next to home button, or as a "+ minitab", but NOT both.
What can I do to put this button in Firefox 4 on BOTH places???
Your help is really appreciated. I want to upgrade, but I want my buttons on both places...
I upgraded to FF 4, but downgraded again just because this feature... that's just me of coarse :-)

How can I specify the default tab in a CHM Output?

My company uses CHM-based help for some of its products. We build the CHM files from RoboHelp 9, and while these CHM files don't really have a full Index attached to them, the Index tab shows up in the output anyway. Unfortunately, we are suddenly seeing that when the CHM file is launched from our program, the Index tab is displayed by default. We'd rather have the Contents tab be the default look, especially considering that the Index does not exist.
I have poked around into how you can specify a default tab for a CHM file, and the only information I have found suggests that using a CHM file creates a file (HH.dat) that specifies which tab should be displayed on a user-by-user basis, and that the last tab displayed when you close the CHM should be the first one displayed when you re-open it. While this is true if you open the CHM independent from the product, when you launch it from our program, it's all Index, all the time.
So, my question is: How can I specify the default tab for a CHM file? Or, failing that, how can I excise the Index tab from my CHM output.

Hi there
This will be something up to your application developer to resolve. When s/he issues the call to open the CHM, there are parameters that may be used to always open with the desired tab "in front".
Point your developer to the link below and advise that s/he is most likely interested in the section titled: Programming Tips.

Set Yahoo as you home page, and set firefox to open the homepage when it starts. (Not to open previous pages).
* see [[how to set the home page]] for detailed instructions <br/> all you need to do is drag the icon whilst you are on the page you require

How can Import Mysql my database and Table into website -

Hi,
friend i am using CS3 ,i made all need tables in database ,I need to know
how can import that database /table into website.
I know in domin there is admin Mysql inside i have found impotr/export/ but
when I click import i do not know where my database/table been save to import it

If all you are trying to do is change an existing tablepace from a single datafile to multiple datafiles, then a simple import will work fine. Just create the tablespace in the new database with multiple files, then do the import normally.
If you want to move segments into different tablespaces, or change the names of the tablespaces, then you will need to precreate the tables before importing. Then, do the export with indexes=N and constraints=N. Run import with the resulting file, then re-create the constraints and indexes in the new tablespaces.

By default Firefox uses a blank page in a new tab. Something you installed changed that to I-PLAY. You need to figure out what changed that, and get rid of it. Start with this. <br />

Can't Figure Out How To Import XML into a Table?

HELP!
I've been using InDesign for several years now... but everything Ive ever done has been basic one off layout concepts.
I am working on a website for a musical theater actress and for her resume, Id like to make a PDF which lists in table format the show, theatre and role she had for each job.
I could do this manually... but Id really like to learn how to just reuse the same XML data that I have for her website and import it into InDesign.
I have looked at Adobe's help file, I have scoured the internet, and I still can't figure it out... I have done like the adobe support file says... and I cant seem to get the values I create in her resume xml file to show up in a table I create in InDesign.
I even tried to simplify it for the learning process and did something as basic as an XML file that has 5 colors... couldnt even get that working.
So could someone explain it to me like Im a 5 year old... how to take a XML file, import it, place it in a table and have the data actually show up in the table.
thanks,
brian

Are you sure you want to use XML with tables for this? No doubt importing XML into tables is useful for some specialized tasks, such as importing formatting information inside the XML itself, but for most of the familiar tasks that XML excels at, tables are neither necessary nor useful.
In my (limited) experience, if the XML elements are well-differentiated, by which I mean different types of data have their own distinctive tags, then the special powers of XML can be exploited more fully using the more familiar tagged text, nested tags etc. in ordinary text frames using paragraph breaks, tab characters, etc. to achieve a suitably "tabular" finished appearance.
If you must import XML into tables, I recommend Adobe's own PDF "Adobe InDesign CS3 and XML: A Technical Reference" availabe here:
http://www.adobe.com/designcenter/indesign/articles/indcs3ip_xmlrules.pdf
It sounds very daunting -- the words "technical reference" make me shudder -- but actually it's very readable and not very technical at all. Some nice pics and everything!

How can my program keep the user from using Alt+Tab?

Hi everyone,
How can i make my program so that when the user tries to use Alt+Tab to open any other windows, it won�t allow it. Thanks in advance.

You can't.
Java runs in a virtual machine, and relies on the OS to forward events to the virtual machine for dispatch to the appropriate swing components.
This means that the OS will get the alt-tab, before java, and it will consume it.
You can however detect when a window is no longer receiving focus, by adding a WindowListener
Window.addWindowListener(WindowListener l)And you can bring your window to the front (in theory) using
Window.toFront()However, I have found this to be not always successful (since the jre dispatches the request to the OS, it is the OS that must do it, and depending on the context may not).
I suggest you try another language, such as C.
