How do you create a css rule?

How do you create a new CSS rule in Dreamweaver?
I took the Dreamweaver class 3-4 years ago, and now have to design a website. I cannot figure out how to create a css rule. The instructions Adobe gives do not make sense. Under format>>CSS Styles, there is no "new" option like the instructions say there should be.
I cannot figure out how to do it using the CSS properties pane either.
Every method they give does not jive with the options in the program.
I did create a style sheet for my site.

Which version of the software are you using?
The tutorials are version-centric now owing to the many "improvements" DW has seen to its interface in the past 12-24 months. So if you're reading a tutorial for an earlier version than what you have, you'll be confused. And vice versa if you use a modern tutorial with an older version.
I prefer to work directly with the code. It's infinitely faster than the cumbersome panels. Also the code hinting features in DW are very helpful.

If css style panel is missing then you can reset your designer. In CS6 the process was:
Windows >> Workspace Layout >> Reset Designer
See this picture:
Now to create a new style should be easy. Just see this picture:
I don't use CC so I don't know if the process is still the same.
Good luck.

How to stop "Create New CSS Rule" dialog box

Made the mistake of allowing an Apple tech talk me into an OS X "Install in place". He assured me that all application settings would remain the same as before.
Now, when holding down the "shift" key and typing a word in all caps (in Design View), the "Create new CSS Rule" dialog box pops up and writes:
<span style="font-size: 14px; margin-center: 1px; text-align: left; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 6px; padding-bottom: 0px; line-height: 1.3em; margin-top: 3px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">TEXT
I am trying to find the setting in preferences to disable this, and since the behavior started after OS X "install in place", something must have changed. I just want to type in design view and not have to deal with Dreamweaver overriding what I'm doing.

I am attempting to type some text in "design", not "code" view. I want the text to be caps. I hold down the shift key, type the first letter, and immediately the "New CSS Rule" dialog box pops up. I cancel, but the code...
<span style="font-size: 14px; margin-center: 1px; text-align: left; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 6px; padding-bottom: 0px; line-height: 1.3em; margin-top: 3px; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">TEXT
...is created anyway.I just want to type a word into an existing div with no changes or dialog boxes or any input from Dreamweaver. I was able to do that before, and cannot do it now. There must be some setting that I am missing in preferences.

How Do You Add Multiple CSS Rules to Text?

Hi everyone, I have these css rules in my css styles window they are all assigned to some text in a cell on my page.
.Def14grey4 <body>
.def14grey4 a:link <a>
.def14grey4 a:visited <a>
.def14grey4 a:hover <a>
.def14grey4 a:active <a>
.def14grey4 a:focus <a>
How do you add (all of) these styles to the text in the first place, I know how to add the first one (.Def14grey4), you select the text in the cell and choose the rule from the drop-down menu in the css panel, but how do you add the other ones to some text as well, so that it can have the same link properties.
Basically I have some more text elsewhere on the page and want to assign these rules to that as well.
thanks Gareth

You would want to change your order as shown here -
.Def14grey4 <body>
.def14grey4 a:link <a>
.def14grey4 a:visited <a>
.def14grey4 a:hover, .def14grey4 a:focus <a>
.def14grey4 a:active <a>
That way, the hover and the focus states are equivalent.
How do you add (all of) these styles to the text in the first place, I know how to add the first one
You don't really. The 4 bottom selectors say -
"find an element with a class of 'def14grey4', and style any link inside that element this way"
So, <a href="whatever.html">Whatever</a> would get the pseudo-class styles, as would any of the following -
<a href="whatever.html">Whatever</a>
<td class="def14grey4"><a href="whatever.html">Whatever</a></td>
<a href="whatever.html">Whatever</a>
<body class="def14grey4"><a href="whatever.html">Whatever</a></body>
<div class="def14grey4"><a href="whatever.html">Whatever</a></div>
<a href="whatever.html">Whatever</a>
and so on. These examples assume that there isn't some other more specific rule that would apply to the same links. You need to study up on the CSS cascade and specificity....

How do you create custom validation rule in WS 9.2?!?!?!

Hello,
I am using Workshop 9.2. I created a page flow, and want to do some form validations.
I saw the simple 9.2 example, but it is only good for very basic validation, what if you have to validate the form field against a database, must you write a custom validation rule? HOW would you do this in 9.2 so that will still stay with the workshop/netui paradigm?
http://beehive.apache.org/docs/1.0.1/netui/validation.html
Keith

Hi Keith,
Staying within the declarative validation framework the answer is probably that you do need to write a custom validation rule and refer to it using the @Jpf.ValidateCustomRule annotation.
The NetUI Annotation Reference shows how the Struts validations are supported via the framework.
http://beehive.apache.org/docs/1.0.1/netui/annotations/pageflow_annotations.html
Specifically, if you look through the @Jpf.Validate* annotations, while most of these are "canned" common validations, there are a few that are more open-ended, such as @Jpf.ValidateMask and @Jpf.ValidateValidWhen.
Those two let you write the validation logic in the annotation while @Jpf.ValidateCustomeRule only refers to a custom rule in the struts validator file.
In any case, there is a validation rule editor which should help in authoring and managing the annotations. In the Page Flow Explorer or Page Flow Editor just right click on the action or form bean bean of interest and choose Validation Rules and the appropriate scope.
I hope that's of some use,
Troy

Dreamweaver Help | Create a CSS rule

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://helpx.adobe.com/dreamweaver/using/create-new-css-rule.html

Does anybody know how to place a new rule just after or before existing rule witch you do not know where is located among hundreds of rules in CSS Panel "ALL". Now, I have to search that rule manually in CSS 'ALL' click on it and that create a new rule to plase the new rule before. It is a nightmare to organize css this way!. What is the best way to do it?

How do I turn the CSS Rule Window off?

How do I turn the CSS Rule Window off?
Please don't say "you really should learn the use of CSS". I create my own CSS for many years just fine without the nuisance of a popup window.

Yes, I would also like to know how to turn-off the CSS rule.
I support a user who has been using DreamWeaver for years and was recently forced to upgrade to the new version. None of the hundreds of files in the site he maintains use CSS. While I recognize it is a "better" and "more efficient" way to do things --- IF you're a sofware engineer -- it is not even close to being worth the cost to revise the entire site and retrain this user.
So, how can i turn off, not just the pop-up, but how I can tell DW to just go ahead and do it the old-fashioned, embedded in the HTML way of doing things?
All the user wants to do is change the color of some keywords, css is overkill when that's all he's doing.
We'd go back to the previous version except the office was forced onto Vista and the older version won't run.

How do you set up nested rules for iTunes smart playlist

How do you set up nested rules for a iTune smart playlist

Hello \"alice\",
It sounds like you want to add additional criteria to your Smart Playlists. I found an article with steps you can use to refine your Smart Playlist. Step 2 specifically has what I think you are looking for:
2. To have iTunes add songs that match specific criteria, make sure to select "Match the following rule," then make your selections from the pop-up menus.
For example, you might want iTunes to only add songs that are by a particular artist, or songs with at least a four-star rating.
To add additional matching criteria, click the Add button.
You can find the full article here:
iTunes: How to create a Smart Playlist
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1801
The article says it is archived. In the current version of iTunes, in step 1 you will select File>New>Smart Playlist. Also, if you need to edit an existing Smart Playlist, you can right click (or hold command while you click) on it and select Edit Smart Playlist.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,
Sheila M.

How do you create a scrolling banner in Dreamweaver CS4?

How do you create a scrolling banner/marquee in DreamWeaver 4? I can't find anything about scrolling banners in the documentation or in the several books I've searched. Thanks.

Dreameaver can't create something like that out of the box, you need to use some type of script for the 'scrolling' to work.
This is pretty good, with lots of variations:

You may find something listed here that may give you an idea:

or go over to www.jquery.com (that's one of the popular frameworks being used at the moment for image slidehows/banners/galleries etc).

How do you create a rolling title that ends on a still image of the title?

How do you create a rolling title that ends on a still image of the title?

Here's the help page that describes using the tab stops:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/PremierePro/4.0/WS35CA53B6-EAFF-499a-A600-DCD85686354Da.html
Let me know if that's clear as mud and I'll try to shed more light on the subject.
One thing that isn't specified/clarified/whatever (and was the biggest stumbling block for me when I first tried this in PPro 1.5) is that the ruler for the tab stops is zeroed at the edge of the text box, and tab stops ONLY work in text boxes (or "text area," however you please). At any rate, you have to position that ruler so that the zero point is at the left edge of your text box, and then the rest of the instructions in the help doc will make sense.
Also, it's useful to show the tab markers while you work. Just go "Title > View > Tab Markers" and you're good.
Hope this helps!
As a side, I have found that this one feature is really the best and most useful part of the PPro titler (and also, just about the only function in the titler that WON'T cause your system to crash on a regular basis).

To add to sig's reply, "calibrating" does not calibrate Lithiu-Ion batteries, it calibrates the charge reporting circuitry. If you look at the effect of deep discharging Lithium-Ion batteries in the data from the independent test group, Battery University, you will see that doing so shortens the life of the battery significantly. It looks like an optimum balance between use and life is at a discharge level of 50%.

HT4191 iPhone Local Storage "My iPhone" - How do you create this folder for use by the Notes app on a iPhone or iPad? If I want to keep some notes only on my device and not in a cloud environment associated with an e-mail account.

iPhone Local Storage "My iPhone" - How do you create this folder for use by the Notes app on a iPhone or iPad? If I want to keep some notes only on my device and not in a cloud environment associated with an e-mail account. I've seen reference to the "My iPhone" local storage put no mention on how you create this folder or access this folder within the Notes app. I realize storing information in a local storage like this provides no syncing between other iDevices but that is exactly what I'm looking for. I'm running iOS7.0.4 on a iPhone 5S, and a iPad Air. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you go to Settings > Notes > Default Account you will see "On My iPhone" as the default account and the only choice if you have not enabled syncing Notes in Settings >iCloud or Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars. If you have enabled syncing you can still select "On My iPhone" as the default account. When you are in the Notes app you won't see any accounts listed if you have not enabled syncing because they are all in the On My iPhone account and that is the only place possible. It is not a folder that you create.
