How to force absolute positioning

Hi
I am trying to force absolute positioning when I export to Dreramweaver.
How can I do this. Ive been trying to overlap my images and hence slices when I export but I never get the warning up about absolute positioning.
Any ideas
Thanks

Create the images in Fireworks and export them to the images folder of the site you have properly defined in Dreamweaver. Build the pages with the images in Dreamweaver. Fireworks can only export images "overlapping" on states which are animations, or buttons, or image swaps.

How do i add a Scroll Bar to a JList Component using absolute positioning?

I've got a applet whose content pane is set to null. I've create a jlist component on this applet and using absolute positioning set the bounds at
ListBox1.setBounds(380,10, 500, 500);.
My problem is creating add a scroll bar to the list box.
JScrollPane scrollPane = new JScrollPane(ListBox1);
C.add(scrollPane);
The above code is what i use and when i run this applet i don't see the list box at all. How do i add a scrollbar to this list box or JList component. Please help.

You need to setBounds() on the JScrollPane, not the JList.
The JScrollPane is the component that is being added to the panel.

SHDB/BDC - PA40 - How to Avoid Absolute List Position of PA40 Action

The following code was generated by SHDB for transaction PA40. It's picking a particular action from the list on the screen (23rd item from the top). This is almost certain to change in production because our dev environment isn't configured exactly the same.
Is there anyway I can avoid using an absolute position in my code do perform this logic? Thanks!
    PERFORM bdc_dynpro      USING 'SAPMP50A'                '2000'.
    PERFORM bdc_field       USING 'BDC_CURSOR'              'T529T-MNTXT(23)'.
    PERFORM bdc_field       USING 'BDC_OKCODE'              '=PICK'.
    PERFORM bdc_field       USING 'RP50G-SELEC(23)'         'X'.

You can even do an action from PA30. I usually do BDCs for Action via PA30. There won;t be any issues related to config variations in it.

Can Layers be given RELATIVE, rather than ABSOLUTE position

I'm having no luck finding an answer to this in HELP. I place
the layer's anchor in a table, then position the layer. If I
subsequently add (or remove) any lines above the anchor, everything
on the page moves down (or up), but the layer stays where it was,
relative to the page, not the anchor.
If there are several layers on the page this means a wholeot
of repositioning every time I do an edit up-page.
Any advice?

This may help you understand positioning a bit -
There are 4 different types of positioning:
Absolute
Relative
Fixed
Static
Here is a brief explanation of each kind of positioning (with
regard to
placement of elements on the page only)....
Position:absolute (or A/P elements)
This does several things -
1. It 'removes' the element from the flow of the code on
the page so that
it can no longer influence the size or position of any other
page element
(except for those contained within it, of course).
2. The absolutely positioned element takes its position from
the position of
its closest PARENT *positioned* element - in the
absence of any explicitly
positioned parent, this will default to the <body> tag,
which is always
positioned
at 0,0 in the browser viewport.
This means that it doesn't matter where in the HTML code the
layer's code
appears (between <body> and </body>), its
location on the screen will not
change (this assumes that you have not positioned the A/P
element within
a table or another A/P element, of course).
Furthermore, the space in
which
this element would have appeared were it not positioned
is not preserved
on the screen. In other words, absolutely positioned elements
don't take
up any space on the page. In fact, they FLOAT over the page.
Position:relative (or R/P elements)
In contrast to absolute positioning, a relatively positioned
page element is
*not* removed from the flow of the code on the page, so
it will use the
spot
where it would have appeared based on its position in
the code as its
zero point reference. If you then supply top, right,
bottom, or left
positions
to the style for this element, those values will be
used as offsets from
its
zero point.
This means that it DOES matter where in the code the
relatively positioned
element appears (, as it will be positioned in that location
(factoring in
the offsets) on the screen (this is true for any placement in
the code).
Furthermore, the space where this element would have
appeared is
preserved in the display, and can therefore affect the
placement of
succeeding elements. This means that the taller a relatively
positioned element is, the more space it forces on the page.
Position:static
As with relative position, static positions also "go with
the flow". An
element with a static position cannot have values for
offsets (top, right,
left, bottom) or if it has them, they will be ignored. Unless
explicitly
positioned, all div elements default to static positioning.
Position:fixed
A page element with this style will not scroll as the page
content scrolls.
Support for this in elements other than page backgrounds is
quirky
There are several other things you need to know:
1. ANY page element can be positioned - paragraphs, tables,
images, lists,
etc.
2. The <div> tag is a BLOCK level tag. This means that
if it is not
positioned or explicitly styled otherwise, a) it will always
begin on a new
line on the screen, and b) it will always force content to a
new line below
it, and c) it will always take up the entire width of its
container (i.e.,
width:100%).
3. The placement of A/P elements *can* affect the BEHAVIOR of
other
elements
on the page. For example, a 'layer' placed over a hyperlink
will mask that
hyperlink.
You can see a good example of the essential difference
between absolute and
relative positioning here -
http://www.great-web-sights.com/g_layersdemo.asp
You can see a good demonstration of why using layers for a
page layout tool
is dangerous here -
http://www.great-web-sights.com/g_layer-overlap.asp
Based on this, a static div (no longer a 'layer') would be
what you want.

How to change Absolute Layers to Relative?

As always, thanks in advance…
I have set up a Set Text layer. I postioned it in/over a
table cell, however, in the browser it jumps to the left.
After researching the forums it appears I would need to
change the layer to Relative? I can't see how to do this anywhere?
I tried changing the DIV tag to Span and changing the word Absolute
to Relative in the code but it just doesn't work at all!
(If it matters, its a disjointed rollover with an additional
Set Text Layer)
Cheers!

Pasted from yesterday's message -
First thing you want to do is to get a valid and complete
doctype on that
page, so that it will be rendered in the browser's Standards
mode, not
quirks mode.
Change this -
<html>
to this -
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01
Transitional//EN"
http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
Next, you need to get div#textlaya OUT OF THE TABLE. One
should never place
absolutely positioned elements directly into table cells.
Just grab the code
for that div, cut it from the page, and paste it back in
immediately above
</body>.
Then, just read along -
Change this -
</head>
to this -
<style type="text/css">

</style>
</head>
change this -
<body ...>
to this -
<body ...>
<div id="wrapper">
and this -
</body>
to this -

</div>
</body>
and see if that helps (You'll need to relocate the placement
of the
div#textlaya on the design view page, though since its frame
of reference
has changed a bit).
Finally, you need to know about the perils of placing text
into absolutely
positioned elements -

Looking for confirmation regarding absolute positioning...

Absolutely-positioned elements *never* interrupt the flow,
regardless of
what that element is.
As such, scrollbars completely ignore said elements at *all*
times, as if
they weren't there at all.
Are both those statements considered pretty much factual?

> Would there be any way *at all* to place a div outside
the viewport
> WITHOUT generating a scrollbar?
Yes - place it to the left of the left margin, or above the
top margin. 8)

Newbie Q - Absolute position of items / regions

Hello,
Is it possible to set an absolute position for items / regions?
I'd like to be able to display an item at coordinates (x,y) on screen, but all I could find was how to position my items relatively to other items / regions.
Please help.
Thanks.
Anat :o)

Hi Anat,
Yes you can absolutely position regions.
In the Region Header enter in something like:
<div style="position:absolute; top:100px; left:100px;">
and put the following in the Region Footer:
</div>
You will need to experiment with this to see what affect this has on the rest of the page. There is a discussion on this forum about using DIV tags instead of TABLE tags as a means of laying out pages - not sure how far this has got yet, but it would involve rewriting the page templates.
Regards
Andy

Absolute Position of Component

hi!
i'm currently creating a formvalidator.
is a field-validation failed, the validator paints a small red dot on the glasspane over the lower left corner of the field/component.
my problem now is the following:
is the component i want to validate in a container, the getLocation()-method of the component does not give me the absolute position of the component... so my red dot is painted on the false position.
does anybody know how i could get the absolute position of my component? (absolute; relative to my topcontainter, the JFrame or the JDialog)
thx a lot!

Hi,
have a look here :
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/javax/swing/SwingUtilities.html#convertPoint(java.awt.Component,%20int,%20int,%20java.awt.Component)
it should permit you converting coordinates relatively to anything ;-)

How to force refresh of data through browser or PDF?

We have the dashboard set to refresh every minute. We are pulling the data using XML from DB. When we are in browser and clear the browser cache and then reload the .swf... the data is updated. We haven't been able to figure out how to force the cache-clear and data refresh with either swf or pdf.
Your help is greatly appreciated.

Hi Jeff,
Is the XML coming from a web page or a web server?
If yes then you can give this a go. To stop the caching mark your web page with extra tags to say it has expired.
HTML page example:
<HEAD>
< META HTTP-EQUIV="PRAGMA" CONTENT="NO-CACHE" />
< META HTTP-EQUIV="EXPIRES" CONTENT="0" />
</HEAD>
JSP example:
<%
// Stop Internet Explorer from caching the results of this page.
// We do this so that every time Xcelsius calls this page it see the latest results.
response.setHeader("Cache-Control","no-cache"); //HTTP 1.1
response.setHeader("Pragma","no-cache"); //HTTP 1.0
response.setDateHeader ("Expires", 0); //prevents caching at the proxy server
%>

How to force a new password in portal with LDAP user? external users

With an external portal (used by agents that do not work for you or reside in your office), company policy is for password to be changed every qtr.
If the users are creating as LDAP users how to force them to change their password when required?
Is this a custom application that needs to be written so when they log into the portal if the qtr has expired the portal ask them to enter a new password that becomes valid for the next qtr.
Versus internally deleting and emailing all the users a new password?

Hi Glenn,
We are getting one problem when we are creating user in LDAP and login with that user in Portal that time we are getting Password change screen , but when we create a user in LDAP and change the password of that user in LDAP then when the user tries to Login to portal that time we are not able to see the password change screen.
But again if we change the password of that user through Portal we are able to see change password screen.
can you help on this how we can force the user to change password when we are changing password in LDAP or in SAP System.
Regards

How to force the "Bluetooth Communications Port" to be one of COM1 to COM8 ports?

Dear Lenovo Community, Happy Holidays to you all and wish you a great happy new year. Recently purchased a Bluetooth OBDII device and have difficulty making it to work with its provided software on my T61 (running original XP Home). My short story and question/problem is that I can open "My Bluetooth Places" and pair with the OBDII device as an "OBDII SPP Dev", but my T61 assigns serial port COM19 to it. The OBDII software which came with the device only can let user set to one of the COM1 to COM8 ports and in the properties of Bluetooth pairing, there is no way that I can select which COM port to use. I looked at the Device Manager and I do see these COM port assignments: COM4,5,6,7: Sierra Wireless (the HSDA modem in the laptop which I have never used BTW) COM 9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17: Bluetooth Serial Port COM 18, 19: Bluetooth Communications Port and I don't see anything for COM1,2,3, and 8 My question is how to force the computer/OS to assign one of the COM1 to COM8 ports to my device upon pairing? Can I disable the Sierra Wireless model from the COM ports list and hope this will happen? Thanks for your help and inputs beforehand. Regards, AL

Hi, AL_K
Have you attempted to change the port number in device manager itself? If you navigate to Device Manager and open the list of Ports, you can right-click on the device you wish to assign a different port number. After right-clicking, click Properties. There should be a tab called Port Settings. In here, you should find a setting to manually assign a port number.
Good luck, and let me know how it goes,
Adam

Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard is still seeing my old scanner install. How to force it to see new scanner install.

Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard is still seeing my old scanner install. How to force it to see new scanner install? Scanner is recognized by and works fine in Windows. Acrobat however still sees Fujitsu fi-6130dj #3. I need it to see Fujitsu fi-6130dj which is what is listed in Device Manager. (Windows XP SP3).
Thank you for any suggestions.

To provide more detail and list what was done to resolve the issue but there may be a better way.
Background. When you install a USB device to a PC it is listed in Windows Device Manager as installed hardware. If you take the USB plug for any device and plug it into a different USB port on the PC the PC will install drivers again for that device. In Device Manager, if you set a system environment variable for device manager to show non-present devices you can see all of the times this may have occurred. In this specific instance there were five installations in Device Manager for one piece of hardware, a Fujitsu fi-6130 scanner. The first listing was Fujitsu fi-6130dj, then Fujitsu fi-6130dj #2, Fujitsu fi-6130dj #3 and so on. Adobe Acrobat only saw the third instance of these drivers being installed. Once I cleaned Device Manager of all Fujitsu scanner installs I was able to have a single set of drivers installed for this Fujitsu but Adobe still recognized the third instance of the driver install and I could not figure out how to force it to see what Device Manager was seeing, a single instance of the scanner being installed (with no #3 behind it).
Steps performed to try to resolve.
Repair install of Adobe - no luck - still sees the #3 instance of the scanner
Deactivation, uninstall, reboot, reinstall, reactivation of Adobe - no luck, same behavior as above
Complete removal of all scanner related software. This included the ISIS drivers in Add/Remove Programs and all other related software. This also included deleting the contents of the TWAIN_32 directory found within the root of the Windows directory and also included deleting the scanner from Device Manager.
Rebooted.
Reinstalled complete packages of both TWAIN and ISIS scanners - with the scanner disconnected. Powered the scanner back on and let Windows install the drivers for the hardware. Only at this point did Adobe see the new install of the Fujitsu scanner and no longer looked for the #3 instance of that scanner install.

How to force using the adobe reader to view the PDF by javascript / PHP / HTML?

I use the standard way to embed a pdf to my website, however, when I open it the browser will choose the default pdf viewer instead of the adobe reader. I can change it manually by looking at the browser option but it would not be nice if the website visitor need to do this manually. So I would like to know how to force the browser to open the PDF in adobe by using some HTML header / javascript / php or any parameter in object tag. Thanks.
<object id = 'zoomPage' type='application/pdf' data= '" + sourceFolder + "SingTao/2013/08/17/0/0/A/Content/pdf/pdf_" + currZoomPageNo + ".pdf#toolbar=1&navpanes=0&statusbar=0&messages=0&pagemode=read'><p>The PDF can not display</p></object>

I know this problem related to the browser behaviour so I would target only :Chrome firefox and IE 9+ (it is ideal if IE8 can also adopt the solution) thanks
