How do I get lines of text to wrap within borders of a layer?
I am using Windows XP, SP2, and Dreamweaver 8. I am
struggling with the transition from building layout tables to
building layers, and have spent a great deal of time reading books
and following tutorials. I keep running into a problem which would
seem to have a simple solution, but I can't find the answer in any
of my texts or web searches. I may not be using the correct
terminology to describe it . . . but here goes.
Let's say I build the layout first, and it consists of two
columns, a left sidebar, and a larger layer for content. When I add
text to the content layer, it does not wrap into several lines, ,
respecting the right border, as it would do in a table. Instead, it
continues in one long line, pushing the edge of the layer out to
the right, destroying the layout.
What is the solution? Do I need to create a container for the
page, before I build the rest? Or, is there an attribute that I can
apply to the specific layer to prevent this problem? Or is it an
attribute of the text??
Can anyone recommend a good entry-level tutorial for me,
which would address such "beginners" problems? I have found the
Dreamweaver tutorial "Creating a CSS-based Page Layout" to be very
unhelpful. They show you how to make the layers, but there is NO
information or guidelines on how to fill the layers with content so
they work properly and maintain their layout. I've also spent time
studying the Dreamweaver 8 "Missing Manual" from Pogue Press. That
book has been very helpful, but not with this issue.

There's no need to struggle with this. Just don't do it.
Forget layers
exist. They are not the way to move ahead, and will get you
into serious
trouble if you imagine that they are the next step in your
advancement.
Continue to work with tables as you learn about CSS. When you
understand
that you rarely need to use any kind of positioning, then you
are ready for
the next step: moving from tables to table-less pages.

No kidding. In fact, the book is COMPLETELY wrong on this
issue. Your best
bet is to take Elmer's Glue and glue all the pages of Chapter
8 together. I
say that as the Tech Editor of that illustrious tome.... 8)

How can I get just the text to resize, rather than the entire web page?
I used to be able to re-size just text on a webpage by typing Ctrl + +. Today, the entire webpage re-sizes, and when I move to another page it reverts. (I see this mostly in Facebook.). Why did this change, and can I go back to having just the text re-size?

How can I get a match text effect in a Choice
How can I get a match text effect in a Choice; I mean, for instance, that if a type a "p" the first choice item that begins with a "p" should be automatically selected
Here is a pretty simple example. Keep in mind that I am coverting all comparison characters to UpperCase. If you allow LowerCase characters in you Choice items then remove the appropriate Character.toUpperCase() calls.
Hope this helps

How can I get Multi-color text it a swing componet?
How can I get Multi-color text it a swing componet?
I've tryed JTextPane and JEditorPane.
If they support having text in more then one color then I don't see how.
I want to make a color-coded Java editor in Java, but I can't color-code if I can only have one color.
JComponent.setForeground(Color fg)
is not what I need.
maybe Java doesn't support it yet.
but I hope it does.
Please help, thanks.Hi,
I've made you a little example with a coloured JEditorPane and JTextPane:
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.text.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
public class ColorDemo extends JFrame {
public ColorDemo() {
super("ColorDemo");
// coloured JEditorPane
JEditorPane editorPane = new JEditorPane("text/html",
"<FONT color=red> This </FONT>"+
"<FONT color=blue> is </FONT>"+
"<FONT color=green> a </FONT>"+
"<B> JEditorPane </B>");
editorPane.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(250, 150));
// coloured JTextPane
JTextPane textPane = new JTextPane();
textPane.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(250, 150));
Document doc = textPane.getDocument();
Style def = StyleContext.getDefaultStyleContext().
getStyle(StyleContext.DEFAULT_STYLE);
try {
StyleConstants.setForeground(def, Color.blue);
doc.insertString (0, "This ", def);
StyleConstants.setForeground(def, Color.red);
doc.insertString (5, "is ", def);
StyleConstants.setForeground(def, Color.green);
doc.insertString (8, "a ", def);
StyleConstants.setBold(def, true);
StyleConstants.setForeground(def, Color.black);
doc.insertString (10, "JTextPane", def);
} catch (Exception e) {}
JPanel contentPane = new JPanel();
contentPane.add(textPane);
contentPane.add(editorPane);
setContentPane(contentPane);
public static void main(String[] args) {
JFrame frame = new ColorDemo();
frame.addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter() {
public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e) {
System.exit(0);
frame.pack();

How to drop a line in text messages

I was wondering if anyone could tell me how I drop a line in text messages? With my BlackBerry Bold 9780 I pressed "alt" and "enter" and it would drop down a line. I've tried that with my BlackBerry Q10 with no success.
Thanks in advance.

Hello, I've been searching for a good while in the forums now, but have found no solution or real mention of the problem – I hope some of you can help.
I want to very simply layout a text between scenes, a slightly longer text that wraps within the frame margins. Here's an example of how I want it to look:
Now, I couldn't for the life of me get the Custom Text to behave like that, as there are no parameters to set for the width of the text area. The Text Size, yes, along with the Tracking, Baseline and all that, but the width of the text box, no. The above was created by customizing one of the other Text Generator presets that happened to be left aligned.
However, this preset has a fade in/fade out transition, which I do not want. There's no way to remove this transition as it seems integrated into the Text Generator (meaning they are not really presets, but separate kinds of Text objects? Very silly.)
So I am asking you: Is there any way to get the Custom Text generator to behave like that? Just a text paragraph as above. Below you'll see all I can manage with the diffferent Custom Text parameters. Any kind of repositioning and resizing of the text just changes the position and size of the frame – but the actual text items are just cropped off where they extend out of that frame. Apparently the bounding box for the text is just some default length, and I can't find any way to adjust the width. See below my different attempts.
The same text pasted into a Custom Text generator clearly extends outside the frame:
Here Transform just moves – or resizes – the video frame that the Text Box exists inside:
The Crop gives similar results, and of course Distort doesn't get me closer to what I need, either. There should be simply a Text Box Width parameter to set somewhere, but if it exists they have hidden it very well. How do you do it?
Thanks for any help, this is a silly problem, but one of now many trivial problems that amount to me growing quite dissatisfied with FCPX. Hopefully I've just overlooked something.
All the best,
ThomasThomas...same kind of crap here.
I used Custom Text - entered a sentence, hit return, entered another.
Set to 72 pt.
The default alignment is centred - I want left aligned text...the text start point stays at the centre of frame and the sentence runs off the edge of the bounding box.
There is no settings in the Text or Title inspector dialog to correct that!
Using Transform will not sort it! -

How 2 Copy Header & Line Item Text from Purchase Order 2 Out Bound Delivery
Hi SD Gurus,
I want to copy header and line item text from Purchase Order to Out Bound Delivery (This is required in Stock Transfer Process).
I have been able to do successful config. for copying header and line item text from Sales Order to Outbound Delivery but config. doesn't seems to be same for copying text from PO to OBD.
Is there any way to achieve the same? Can some expert show the way to achieve this.
Thanks in advance.
Warm regards,
Rahul MishraHi Ravikumar thanks for u quick reply.
This is wht is currently coded.
concatenate values to get item text for read text function
invar3+0(10) = invar1. "PO number
invar3+10(5) = invar2. "PO line number
SELECT SINGLE * FROM stxh WHERE tdobject = 'EKPO'
AND tdname = invar3
AND tdid = 'F01'
AND tdspras = sy-langu.
IF sy-subrc = 0.
invar4 = invar3.
reading the text for the document items.
CALL FUNCTION 'READ_TEXT'
EXPORTING
id = 'F01'
language = sy-langu
name = invar4
object = 'EKPO'
TABLES
lines = it_itab.
I have seen some PO's which have info rec texts in that, which gets pulled by the above code...first thing is its id is F02 which exist in STXH table also there is other text with F01 id, and hence the table it_itab gets both these text hence no pbm.
but i came across a PO which has only one text which is info rec text with id F05 and is not store in stxh and hence doesnot get pulled by read_text fm. How do i change my cod to get this text which should not hamper other PO's as well.
As mentioned in above msgs, this F05 could be retrieved by providing object name as EINE.
anyhelp will be appreciated and rewarded.
thanks -
