How to auto update a section on all pages.

Hi,
I have a section on the right hand side of a website I'm developing containing txt and it's controlled by CSS which also appears on all the other pages, so what I want to be able to do is when I add a new bit of text to it on one page it will auto update with the new txt on all the other pages to save me copying and pasting the same bit of txt on all the pages.
Hope that made sense and hope someone can help.
Thanks

You can use Dreamweaver Templates or use serverside include.   (SSI)
Using the template function within Dreamweaver is a good way to go if it's a small site . .
For larger sites then serverside includes would be more practical and earlier for maintenance purposes.
Templates:
You create a master template page, you declare which areas will be the same for every page, (non-editable regions)  and then declare an area that will change on every page (the content area) , these are editable regions.
Once you create the template and save it, you are then able to create 'child' pages from this template  - as many as you like  :-)  If you every need to make a change to the menu or the footer or the header, change it in the master template, save it and the changes will flow through to the child pages created from the template.
Using DW Templates:

The other option is to use Server Side Includes (SSI)
A bit more about SSIs here:

One major difference between using Templates and SSI?
When you make a change to a template page, you will need to re-upload all the pages to the server that were changed - may become very tedious if it is a very large site.
With using SSI, you make a change to one file and only have to upload the one file and all pages on the server will be update accordingly.

  • How do i make letter heads on all pages

    How do I make letter heads on all pages in pages?

    In the inspector, click the first icon, "Document.'
    In that window, check 'Headers' and or 'Footers.'
    Clicking in the area near the top (or bottom) will put the cursor in a box where you can create the page headers or footers.
    Headers and Footers can appear:
    On all pages,
    All except the first page, and
    Differently on right and left pages.
    You can insert text boxes into the header and footer fields as well, and arrange fonts and alignments for each text box separately.
    You can past images into the headers and footers. Drag the image into the page. Cut it. Click the header or footer box. Paste it. Resize it.
    Good luck, and have fun!

  • Disable JRE Auto update in Vista for all users?

    I feel like a complete idiot that I can't figure this out, but it's either so obvious I'm overlooking it, or I just plain can't figure it out, so I'm hoping someone here can help.
    We have not yet been able to figure out how to simply disabled the Auto Update option when installing JRE under Vista, so it will never check for updates, no matter what user is logged into a pc. I've just installed the newest version 1.6.0_05-b13, but get the same results.
    Basically, we are creating a "base clone image" of a Vista workstation and we need the auto update feature of the JRE to be disabled so it doesn't check for updates. When a new user logs into the pc, we want them to 'inherit' this setting from the default user profile, or we simply want a 'global' setting on the pc that stops all JAVA update checks from occuring. But even though there are multiple registry keys that 'look' like they control the auto update function, no matter how we set them the update option still shows it is enabled when you open the JAVA control panel.
    We have 2 basic problems:
    - When a standard user runs the JAVA Control Panel applet and they select the 'Update' tab, the option to "uncheck" autoupdates is "grayed out". If we make the user a local administrator, then it is not grayed out anymore and they can set the option. Problem is, we have thousands of users and none of them are local administrators, hence the problem of getting it to already be defaulted to not check for updates. How do we get the update checkbox to NOT be grayed out for a NON-administrator?
    - How do we set the 'global' (or default) option to disable the auto update checkbox for ALL users? No matter what we try, when a new user logs in, the auto update feature is still enabled after their initial profile is generated from the first time login.
    I was able to figure out if I change the "EnableJavaUpdate" value in the below registry key, it will "remove" the Update tab from the JAVA Control Panel. But does the simply remove the tab? Or does it remove the tab AND disable auto updates for ALL users on the computer?
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java Update\Policy
    I've sent multiple emails to Sun asking for help on what should be a simple thing to do, but have never received a reply from them.

    Thank you for the reply. I apologize for not getting back here sooner.
    We actually already use a deployment.properties file located under the Default User profile on our Vista setup. It's located under the "C:\Users\Default\AppData\LocalLow\Sun\Java\Deployment" folder. This file does get copied over to a new user profile when a new person logs in. This is what we want since we have set things like the maximum cache size and temporary file location.
    The problem though is there is no setting that disables the automatic update check within this file. The best I can figure out is that for some reason under the Vista environment, the auto update setting is controlled in the registry at: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\JavaSoft\Java Update\Policy
    There is a REG_BINARY key there that appears to control this option. It is named "EnableAutoUpdateCheck". The problem is that the value of this key is "several" characters long and it is "different" from one user to the next. I tried disabling auto update under the Java Control Panel and then copied the value of this key into the same aread of the Default User hive but when a new user logs in, it ignores that setting and auto update is still enabled. I also tried using a simple "0" to disable the autoupdate or a "1" to enable it for this key, but it doesn't work either. (This is very frustrating why there isn't a simple 1 or 0 setting to turn the auto update setting on/off.)
    We had no problem getting this to work under XP. Basically we didn't have to do anything special in XP. We simply created a temporary user account and made all the settings we wanted and then copied that profile over to our Default User profile and the Java autoupdate setting under the Java Control Panel was disabled for all new users. We did the same thing under Vista, but the auto update setting was ignored and re-enabled for all new users.
    I read through the settings for the deployment.properties file located at the below link, but there is nothing there to control the auto update setting.
    http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/guide/deployment/deployment-guide/properties.html
    Thus, we can't get the auto update setting to be disabled in the default user profile so it will in turn be disabled for all new users that log into the computer. This is extremely frustrating.
    The other equally frustrating problem we have run into under the Vista environment is that when you run the Java Control Panel, the option to disable the auto update check is "grayed out" and the user can't uncheck this option to disable auto update. We have found you must be an administrator before this option is no longer grayed out. Since none of our thousands of users are admins, this is also a problem for us. (This option works fine for a standard user if you are on a XP machine though. It's just Vista where things have changed.)
    I've sent repeated emails to Sun in the past asking for help, but they never replied.

  • How to Auto Update an air app created in flash cs5

    i have an application that needs to check auto update everytime it starts. but i have only found how to do it in fleash builder. sin ce im working in flash professional cs5 I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO
    any heads up?

    The same techniques work in Flash/ActionScript. See http://help.adobe.com/en_US/air/build/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d118666ade46-7ff2.html. Although some of the examples are written in MXML, the relevant code is all ActionScript.

  • Firefow auto updated "5 beta", lost all previous tabs, "unresponsive script" opens w/each new window...Can you help?

    firefox auto updated to "5.0", then when opening firefox, got "unresponsive script"(which had to be closed to start firefox, and then the same opening w/each new window...(In doing this I then lost all previous tabs).
    Can you help?

    </blockquote>
    Fred,
    Thanks so much for the reply. Amy way you could elaborate on the "known issue" aspect? Is there another thread I missed? Some sort of Knowledge base article? also, I'm not sure why you linked to the page you did. FF is installed on all my machines and I can of course download the latest version every couple of weeks and push it to all my lab iMacs using ARD, so I'm confused as to why you linnked me to FF's installer page - is there something I can do with the installer that will alow auto-updates that I'm missing/not aware of?
    Again, thanks for the heads-up and any further elaboration on either further info on the issue or how I might use the installer to auto-update all my machines will be appreciated.

  • How does auto update work in AIR 2.5?

    Hi,
    We are about to deploy Adobe AIR Runtime 2.5 in our organization.
    To do this we use the following command line
    AdobeAIRInstaller.exe -silent -eulaAccepted
    This works great. But I am not sure how to disable the automatic updates.
    When reading the Adobe AIR configuration guide, http://help.adobe.com/en_US/air/admin/WS485a42d56cd1964167ea49bd124ef17d52a-7ff5.html it says I should create the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Adobe\AIR\UpdateDisabled and set it to 1.
    But when I run the AIR SettingsManager application after I set this registry key it says that automatic updates are enabled.
    And if I choose to disable automatic updates from the tool it creates the file %APPDATA%\Adobe\AIR\updateDisabled.
    How can I make sure that automatic updates are disabled for all users on all the computers we deploy Adobe AIR Runtime 2.5 to?
    Since we are doing an enterprise deployment it is not really an option to ask each and every user to run AIR SettingsManager every time they logon to a new computer

  • How to (auto)-update Adobe CS4

    A few days ago, Adobe CS4 was installed on my new Dell XPS computer (Windows 7).
    Since then, there was no autoupdate of any of CS programs.   I tried to update manually (Help>updagte) from CS 4.
    I got the error (see the attachment).   I got the same error when I tried to manually update of Acrobat.
    Please help me how to go around this problem  Thanks. In

    I am now tired of downloading further.
    I  decided to wait until Adobe fixes the autoupdating issue.
    I'm sorry, I should have said you only need to download the essential updates like Photoshop 11.0.1 and Acrobat etc.
    You may have a long wait for the auto updater to be fixed

  • How to auto update JTable during runtime

    Can anyone tell me how to dynamically update a JTable during execution, what i mean isin the I want the table to automatically add new rows as i enter new data.
    if I pass the object array reference of the TableModel to a method, then add more objects to the array and the revalidate the JTable will it work, or how do I do it ? Thanks

    Your table model should extend AbstractTableModel. And when (for example) it adds a row to whatever data structure is supporting the model, it should call fireTableRowsInserted... you can find out more about those methods in the API documentation. You don't need to revalidate or invalidate or validate the JTable, at least I don't have that in my code anywhere.

  • How stop auto update before you insert the ipod

    This seems to be a real quandary. sometimes you want to insert your ipod without the whole updating thing taking over you ipod. but I don't think you can change that setting unless the ipod in plugged into computer, and if setting is auto update it just starts. any ideas appreciated. thanks.

    thanks Niel, but before I proceed, what exactly happens when you do that, does the ipod not do the auto update? and you can access or update manually?
    also, anyway to stop the updating once it starts? thanks

  • Auto-update of figure/images in Pages

    Dear all,
    I'm just wondering whether Pages has a feature allowing it to auto-update images you import into it, i.e., if I insert an image in pages and then decide I need to edit it some-more in Photoshop, can you make it update by itself in Pages? I know this feature is available in Microsoft Word for mac.
    Any help much appreciated.
    Neil

    Neil,
    Yet again, Pages is no clone of Word. Pages' graphics are embedded, not linked, and that might be why there's no auto-update. I can see where auto update would be nice if many documents use the same graphic and you want it updated in all of them.
    Whatever your reasons, it wouldn't hurt to Provide Feedback to Apple from the Pages menu.

  • How do I get my sections using two-page spreads to start on the right side of the spread?

    (I use Indesign CC 2014, on Windows 7)
    My book has multiple sections.
    Each section is a separate file.
    All pages use  2up master pages.
    If all sections had an even number of pages, there would be no issue. But some end on a left page (left side page of spread).
    Therefore, some sections needs to start their first page on the right side of spread.
    I need to output PDFs for production, and due to content fluctuation the quantity of pages in each spread is random.
    Do I have to manage whether each section starts on the left or right of the spread manually?
    Here's an example:
    Once the PDF is output, I need the first page of Section 2 to automatically be where the pink rectangle is.
    Instead, the last page of Section 1 and the first page of Section 2 both use the left facing page of my 2up master pages.

    FYI, in western left-to-right-reading languages, books are expected to be numbered with odds on the right and evens on the left. If you want to start a new section on a left page after a section that ends on a left page, what most people would do is add a blank right page. You will often see such a page labeled something like "This page has been intentionally left blank." or maybe just an ornament to show that it wasn't a misprint. That is preferred to numbering a left page with an odd number.
