How to make page centerd in window?

I'm very new to web design, so please keep that in mind.
My canvas is 800x600, and when I preview it in my browser
that page apears in the top left hand corner (probably default). I
would like to know if there is any way to position it in the center
of the page - keeping in mind that viewers would have different
screen resolutions when viewing it. So saying "just make the canvas
bigger and move it over" wont work because someone viewing it with
a screen at 800x600 would see it differently than one with
1600x1200.
These diagrams explain it better:
This is how it is now:

This is how i want it to look:
http://img283.imageshack.us/img283/1070/fireworks4633734hg.jpg
I also would like a background behind the canvas.
Infact exactly how this forum is set up is a perfect example. It
has the white page with text etc... and the gradient background
behind it.
How would I go about doing this?
And please keep in mind that I am new to this (just got
fireworks this past weekend, and this is the first site I am trying
to make).
I appreciate any help :-)

You cannot open it on Windows Vista. The only application in the world that opens a Pages document is Pages, and it is Mac OS X only.
Your options:
1. Find a Mac with Pages installed, and save the document as doc or pdf, which you can open on Vista.
or, if that is impossible,
2. Open the files in a texteditor like Notepad.exe on Windows and try to piece text fragments together to get at least part of your original text back. The images should also be available somewhere, even though all formatting is gone.

How to make Excel VBA (on Windows OS) to work on Mac

Hi,
I have made an application which uses Excel forms and other features of Excel Form 9like Title, Combo Box, List Box, Buttons etc).
The code works well on Windows OS however when I run it on Mac it fails to work. Can anyone help me how to make this work.
Regards, Hitesh

Hi ExcelUser2507,
To be honest, I do not have much experience about Office for Mac.
>> The code works well on Windows OS however when I run it on Mac it fails to work.
This is possible, MAC and Windows are 2 different platforms and the features of Office System on this 2 platform is also inconsistent (the Office for Windows has more rich features).
>> How to make Excel VBA (on Windows OS) to work on Mac
This forum is mainly for discussing question about the Office on Windows platform.
The thread below may help, and Office for Mac forum should be more appropriate for asking questions about Office for Mac.

How to make pages page horizontally in acrobat

Hi there.
Is there a way in Acrobat to make pages page horizontally? Similar to an ‘island spread’ in indesign! I need to view a series of pages horizontally, as this will best simulate the way that I will be presenting these pages when pinned up...
Thanks,
Craig

Depends on how you set up your ID file. If you have set up your document as 11 x 8.5 (horizontal/landscape) the resulting pdf exported sould be the same. If you have an 8.5 x 11 Document, Portrait, the exported pdf should be likewise portait.
If you printed to PDF Printer (and you should have exported instead) these results could be overridden by the page orientation.
If you have an Acrobat file, whose pages need to be rotated permanately, not just for a particular view instance, rotate them from the Acrobat Navigation Pages Panel.

Hit F1 (help) and search for Named Anchors.
The example page is one, very tall page with several named anchors on it. When you click a button it takes you to the designated anchor on the page.
<a href="#top">Link to Top</a>
<a href="#bottom">Link to Bottom</a>
The gliding effect is done with jQuery.

On Windows, I don't know how to do it.
On Windows how can I make an AIDrawArtAGMPort object ?

How to make Pages Default App

How do i make Pages my default app and not "textedit".
THANK YOU

smccray,
Welcome to Apple discussions.
You can set any file type to open in Pages, and it’s surprisingly easy: just go to the Finder, single-click on any a file, then type command-I (Get Info). Click on the Open With... menu and select Pages (or navigate to Pages if it’s not in the menu). To make all files of that type open in Pages, click on the Change All button. You can do that with .doc, RTF, .txt, and other types of files.

How to make page wider

Does anybody know how to also change the picture in the header when you change the page width?
I can manage to widen the page and the background picture on the page. But I can not figure out how to make the picture in the header as wide as the page.

The themes that I've found to be the most user modifiable are Black, White, Formal, Modern and Modern Frame. They don't use image files that limit the size of the page. I will select the one of those 4 based on the color of the navbar text so it is most visible with the design of the site.

How to make page stay in the middle of browser window?

I was messing around with the CSS code that changes your
pages width based on browser window but it really distorted my
graphics badly so that was out, but is there a way to set it so
everything stays centered? I 'assumed' I could just set all my
tables and layers to centered but it doesn't seem to effect the
tables themselves only the things within the tables. Is there any
other way? (besides nesting every single thing in a single table,
which perhaps I should have done but probably too late for that
now).

Yes, you can add a div with left and right margin set to
auto.
Then, place everything inside this wrapper div.
Set its position attribute to relative.

How to make a custom popup window conditional

I reviewed the how-to doc to create custom popup pages. It uses a javascript function in the HTML Header of the popup page:
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
function callMyPopup (formItem1,formItem2,formItem3) {
var formVal1 = document.getElementById(formItem1).value;
var formVal2 = document.getElementById(formItem2).value;
var formVal3 = document.getElementById(formItem3).value;
var url;
url = 'f?p=&APP_ID.:2:&APP_SESSION.::::P2_ENAME,P2_JOB,P2_SAL:' + formVal1 + ',' + formVal2 + ',' + formVal3 ;
w = open(url,"winLov","Scrollbars=1,resizable=1,width=800,height=600");
if (w.opener == null)
w.opener = self;
w.focus();
</script>
I don't know javascript -- is there a way to have the page be a popup page conditionally based on the page it's invoked from? I want to use an existing report page that's a tab page as a popup page with a conditional column link that is displayed based on if it was invoked from a specific page that's used for the pass back values. Is this all possible?

Hi Denes,
Thanks so much for your help. I have everything working, it's great! I'm trying to enhance this by having the Select column in my popup page (P57) be conditionally displayed based on the page it was invoked from. I've tried a couple different things. One is I have a page item on the popup page that gets set to the page it's invoked from by setting the page item in the href defined in the Post Element Text for the link in the calling page. What I can't figure out now is how to set it to null after the user selects a value from the popup page, or if they close the window without selecting a value. To make it work in all cases, the P57_FROM_PAGE page item needs to be set to null by the calling page.
Can you give me some pointers on how to do this?
Karen

How to make pages fit to any screen size

Is there a way to make the pages stretch or condense so that it fits any size screen? I've found where I can adjust the px size of the individual pages but I get white borders at the left/right and bottom edges of the screen that vary depending on the monitor size that I am viewing the page on. Is there a fix for this? Thanks.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. By screen size do you mean browser window size? If so you can get rid of the white around the body of the page by using a solid color or tiled image for the browser background which is set in the Inspector/Page/Layout pane.
Or, if you want the page background to be the same as the browser background do the following;
1 - set the browser background to what you have the page set to.
2 - set the page content background to transparent.
Now the page background will fill the browser's window no matter what size it is. That's how I have my tutorial site setup: http://toadstutorials.info.

How to make page name and title change with AJAX driven site?

I am building a travel site. I am a fairly basic but longtime
DW user. I built the site in DW. I made a template and all pages
are then based off the template. I hired a programmer to do the
complicated hotel searching code. He says that he used AJAX and I
know also php (all the pages are whatever.php)
What I don't like and he says can not be changed, which there
must be a workaround for, is that, for example, a user will be on
the spahotels.php page. Or perhaps they are on the whatshot.php
page reading the latest article about jungle treehouse eco lodges.
So far so good, the name of the page is "spahotels.php" or
"whatshot.php".
But, on each (and all) of the site pages we also have a hotel
search on the top left nav. So from any page, the user can do a
hotel search. The problem I have is that...once they do this....the
results they are given in the main window of the page, are totally
unrelated to spahotels or whatshot about jungle lodges...so if they
have now searched for tokyo business hotels, it looks ridiculous
and confusing that the page name says "spahotels.php" and the page
title says Find Great Spa Hotels.
My programmer says AJAX was the best way to do the hotel
search functionality (which I dont know anything about so if he
says so maybe so but I don't know) but he also says there is no way
to make the page name or title change to reflect what the user has
done on the left search function. Makes sense..they are clearly
unrelated.
However...this is a terrible user experience in my opinion.
So...one idea he had was to find a javascript code that changes the
page title/name.
Does anyone have some ideas of how to solve this issue?
The page (rough, we are still developing) is
http://www.bluehippotravel.com/spahotels.php
Try doing a seach for something on the left nav hotel
search...and see what I mean...the name of the page stays
spahotels.php and the title stays Spa Hotels. I get it...I
think...why it does...but it looks stupid if you are looking for
something else in your search (which of course the user will be).
Any ideas??? Thank you so much in advance!!
Laura
