How to merge colors of overlapping divs

Looking to dynamicly create a venn diagramm from overlapping ellipse divs of different colors. While I am able to use extra divs to fad in the required colors once the ellipses have stopped moving, I am unable to have the colors simply merge.

Hi there,
Have you tried just overlapping the colored ellipses set to a slightly lower opacity? It would take some playing with to find the right percentage that works best to try and achieve the exact effect you want, but I would start at 50% each and work from there.
See below I have two ellipses set to 75% opacity, overlapping to create a yellow-orange color:
Let me know if this helps!

Need help with overlapping divs!

Hey everyone,
I'm working on another website and I have come up against a common problem for newbie designers from what I hear, the dreaded overlapping div problem! I have a 2 column fixed layout with a floating left div. My left div has my nav bar and various images. When my main content div has more content than the left floating div, the left div border does not reach the footer! Until now, I have gotten by with just hitting return in my left column div until it reaches the footer. I am sure it is not the right way to do it but it has worked so far. The problem is, now one of the pages has the left column div overlapping onto the footer! I did some reading and I am guessing it involves either the box properties or clear float which I am not too familiar with.
Any advice would be stellar! I know this is just another stumbling block to get over but I would feel so much better if I was doing it the right way.
Here are screens of my issue,
And here is my code for the page in question.

 <h2>Radon Gas Inspection</h2>
 <div id="paragraphFloat">
 <h5>What Is Radon?</h5>
 Radon is a cancer causing radioactive gas. You cannot see, smell or taste radon, but it may be a problem in your home. The Surgeon General has warned that radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the United States today. 
 <div id="apDiv1">
 <div align="center"><a href="http://www.epa.gov/radon/video/epa-epu.wmv"><img src="_images/psa_revised.jpg" alt="What Is Radon?" width="200" height="172" border="0" /></a></div></div></div>
 If you smoke and your home has high radon levels, you're at high risk for developing lung cancer. Some scientific studies of radon exposure indicate that children may be more sensitive to radon. This may be due to their higher respiration rate and their rapidly dividing cells, which may be more vulnerable to radiation damage. 
 
 <h5>Why Is It Dangerous?</h5>
 The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) and the Surgeon General's Office have estimated that as many as 20,000 lung cancer deaths are caused each year by radon. Radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer. Radon-induced lung cancer costs the United States over $2 billion dollars per year in both direct and indirect health care costs.
According to the US EPA, nearly 1 in 3 homes checked in seven states and on three Indian lands had screening levels over 4 pCi/L, the EPA's recommended action level for radon exposure.
The alpha radiation emitted by radon is the same alpha radiation emitted by other alpha generating radiation sources such as plutonium.
A family whose home has radon levels of 4 pCi/l is exposed to approximately 35 times as much radiation as the Nuclear Regulatory Commission would allow if that family was standing next to the fence of a radioactive waste site. (25 mrem limit, 800 mrem exposure)
 At the 4 pCi/l EPA action guideline level, radon carries approximately 1000 times the risk of death as any other EPA carcinogen. It is important to note that the action level is not a safe level, as there are no "safe" levels of radon gas.
 
<h5>How Does It Get Into My Home?</h5>
 Radon is a radioactive gas. It comes from the natural decay of uranium that is found in nearly all soils. It typically moves up through the ground to the air above and into your home through cracks and other holes in the foundation. Your home traps radon inside, where it can build up. Any home may have a radon problem. This means new and old homes, well-sealed and drafty homes, and homes with or without basements.
 Radon from soil gas is the main cause of radon problems. Sometimes radon enters the home through well water. In a small number of homes, the building materials can give off radon, too. However, building materials rarely cause radon problems by themselves.
Radon gets in through:
<ul>
<li>Cracks in solid floors

 </div>
</li>
<li>Construction joints</li>
<li>Cracks in walls</li>
<li>Gaps in suspended floors</li>
<li>Gaps around service pipes</li>
<li>Cavities inside walls</li>
<li>Surrounding water supply</li>
</ul>
 
<h5>What Can I Do?</h5>
 Radon is a national environmental health problem. Elevated radon levels have been discovered in every state. The US EPA estimates that as many as 8 million homes throughout the country have elevated levels of radon. Current state surveys show that 1 home in 5 has elevated radon levels.
 Testing is the only way to know your home's radon levels. There are no immediate symptoms that will alert you to the presence of radon. It typically takes years of exposure before any problems surface. 
Let Full Circle Home Inspections ensure your family and your home are protected and safe from radon exposure!
 
<h5>Radon Myths</h5>
MYTH: Scientists are not sure that radon really is a problem.
<blockquote>
FACT: Although some scientists dispute the precise number of deaths due to radon, all the major health organizations (like the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the American Lung Association and the American Medical Association) agree with estimates that radon causes thousands of preventable lung cancer deaths every year. This is especially true among smokers, since the risk to smokers is much greater than to non-smokers.
</blockquote>
MYTH: Radon testing is difficult, time-consuming and expensive.
<blockquote>
FACT: Radon testing is easy. You can test your home yourself or hire a qualified radon test company. Either approach takes only a small amount of time and effort.
</blockquote>
MYTH: Homes with radon problems can't be fixed.
<blockquote>
FACT: There are simple solutions to radon problems in homes. Hundreds of thousands of homeowners have already fixed radon problems in their homes. Most homes can be fixed for about the same cost as other common home repairs; check with one or more qualified mitigators. Call your <a href="http://www.epa.gov/radon/whereyoulive.html">state radon office</a> for help in identifying qualified mitigation contractors.
</blockquote>
MYTH: Radon affects only certain kinds of homes.
<blockquote>
FACT: House construction can affect radon levels. However, radon can be a problem in homes of all types: old homes, new homes, drafty homes, insulated homes, homes with basements, and homes without basements. Local geology, construction materials, and how the home was built are among the factors that can affect radon levels in homes.
</blockquote>
MYTH: Radon is only a problem in certain parts of the country.
<blockquote>
FACT: High radon levels have been found in every state. Radon problems do vary from area to area, but the only way to know your radon level is to test.
</blockquote>
MYTH: A neighbor's test result is a good indication of whether your home has a problem.
<blockquote>
FACT: It's not. Radon levels can vary greatly from home to home. The only way to know if your home has a radon problem is to test it.
</blockquote>
MYTH: Everyone should test their water for radon.
<blockquote>
FACT: Although radon gets into some homes through water, it is important to first test the air in the home for radon. If your water comes from a public water supply that uses ground water, call your water supplier. If high radon levels are found and the home has a private well, call the Safe Drinking Water Hotline at 1-800-426-4791 for information on testing your water.
</blockquote>
MYTH: It's difficult to sell homes where radon problems have been discovered.
<blockquote>
FACT: Where radon problems have been fixed, home sales have not been blocked or frustrated. The added protection is some times a good selling point.
</blockquote>
MYTH: I've lived in my home for so long, it doesn't make sense to take action now.
<blockquote>
FACT: You will reduce your risk of lung cancer when you reduce radon levels, even if you've lived with a radon problem for a long time.
</blockquote>
MYTH: Short-term tests can't be used for making a decision about whether to fix your home.
<blockquote>
FACT: A short-term test, followed by a second short-term test* can be used to decide whether to fix your home. However, the closer the average of your two short-term tests is to 4 pCi/L, the less certain you can be about whether your year-round average is above or below that level. Keep in mind that radon levels below 4 pCi/L still pose some risk. Radon levels can be reduced in most homes to 2 pCi/L or below.

Please if anyone knows what I'm doing wrong please please let me know! Since I am learning, I really want to get main concepts like this down so I am not constantly doing things the hard way! Thank you!

1) Regarding validation, what does it do?
It validates by telling you where your code isn't er... valid. Sometimes the results are a bit jumbled but if you work through them one at a time and revalidate, it's a good way to learn. If you fix all of the errors shown up through the validator you should end up with standards compliant code. Not necessarily the best, most efficient code you can write but at least it will be valid and it helps you spot errors that hours of code-staring never seems to find.
I don't use the DW validation tool because I find the W3c one easier.
The W3c validator has a check box of HTML Tidy which can tidy up your code but it's not always as easy to see what changes.
2) I know the tag for spacing is wrong, I could just feel it in my bones. I just didn't know what else to do. If I all the way down won't the code be just as cluttered?
You're obviously a born web coder!
 will bloat your page if you use them to position elements.
Here you need to get used to a) the Block Model and b) CSS positioning. Once you crack these, CSS opens up for you and becomes a little more intuitive.
if you have two elements on top of each other rather than push them apart with other elements you do it with padding and/or margin. There are things to watch out for here namely, collapsing margins but if you start to read up on the above, you'll get it.
I just thought of something. If I add a div in main content, align it to the bottom center with CSS, use a line break between it and the text above, and add the image in question in the new div, will the spacing between the text and image work itself out? I just really want to get out of the bad habit.
Keep thinking! Web design is not like desktop publishing or print. Elements on a HTML page don't behave like paragraphs on a page. Once you begin to figure out why not it all gets a little easier.
If you want an image at the bottom an element you put that at the end of the content in that element. Then you need to ensure there is no margin, padding or border between the img element and the next element (your footer). HTML elements come with some styling that is applied by default in the browser. Many web developers include a rule like this:
body {
margin: 0;
padding:0;
This sets the margin and padding to zero of course and it's purpose is to override the defaults. Some people advocate applying similar rules to all elements and if your interested try googling Eric Meyer who has written about it online.
One of the key purposes of CSS is to take styling out of the page. It's leaner, more efficient for the viewer and the coder and helps with site management.
3) AP divs are weird, and I did only use as a last resort.
See? You're a natural!
The reason is I am confused by the float and clear float classes. My left column is floated left and that element is what I was having problems understanding. I tried to make new divs and float right but I screwed it all up. I am sure I am just not applying the clear float in the right places.
Getting the hang of floating is key to CSS positioning. You use a float if you want two elements to sit side by side on the page. It disrupts the "document flow." Ordinarily HTML elements are rendered one after the other, on top of each other. Floating an element takes it out of the document flow and allows other elements to occupy its space. When you float an element it should always have a width. If the element below it also has a width, that width has to be sufficiently narrow to allow it to occupy the space. In short, floated elements can't be wider than their containing element.
The clear property is used after a float to stop an element occupying the space left by a floated element. It works but confuses the heck out of me!
So that leads me to my final point. I am a novice too! I might have fluffed a few of the technical points above but it's pretty much there.

Martin

Multiple compositions as overlapping divs

Hello,
My first question on this forum and I could really use some help with this. Have been stuck on finding a solution, for well over a week.
I am trying to overlap multiple compositions in an Adobe Edge Animate project (I am using Edge Animate CC 2014.1.1).
Basically I am trying to achieve the effect shown in the image below (where the blue stage is my main stage - first composition being loaded, the red is the second and the green is the third):
I added a link to my Edge Animate project files below (I modified the main.html file to accomodate three compositions).
In raw HTML, this can be very easily achieved by using a <div> that is has "position:relative" (it would be the blue area) and nesting two divs with "position:absolute" inside it (the red and the green). My problem is getting the same effect in Edge and loading a composition in each of the two overlapping divs.
In my Edge project, main file, I have three stage divs:
<div id="StageA" class="EDGE-222475028"></div>
<div id="StageB" class="EDGE-222542206"></div>
<div id="StageC" class="EDGE-222622471"></div>
StageA would be the main container div (blue), StageB the first nested one (red) and StageC the third (green) positioned at the right margin of the main container.
I was not able to apply the same overlapping concept to Edge stage divs, as in my raw HTML example.
How can I achieve this?
Edge project files: https://www.dropbox.com/s/qj8jbrrrnbleozp/overlapping_multiple_compositions.zip?dl=0
Thank you,
Chris

I know there should be some way to change the colors of just specific areas of text like this. It should be as simple as putting a color code at the start and end of the tag like
<div><color="#FF0000">This text should be RED</color></div>
I tried that and it came up with the error "Invalid Markup, This is not the correct format for an HTML tag."
I am about 99% certain you can change colors of specific div tags using color codes without giving them an Id and making a css rule for them, I just don't know how. This is a simple question and it should be a simple answer.
Correct:
<div style="color: #ff0000;">This text should be RED</div>

Colors are overlapping when drawing with a tablet...

I apologize for the bad headline.
My problem is easy. When coloring something with my tablet, the colors are overlapping as hell but ONLY when I release the pen and then color again, over it.
The problem with that is, that I cannot go back once the pen is released and get a even~ish color. It is almost like I get the multiply-effect even though neither the layer nor the pen is set to that option.
Maybe these pictrues can explain it better:
http://i54.tinypic.com/sbroqw.jpg
This picture shows the overlapping. It is way to dark, and it doesn't get this dark when I go back and the pen was not released. Only, when I release the pen and then go back. It doesn't get this dark, at all, in other programs like Paintool Sai and more.
Here is a picture of my settings.
http://tinypic.com/r/v6m2pd/7
I really need this solved. Come with everything, I'd greatfull!

My advice would be to learn a little more about Illustrator. Once you do, the tablet will work more like you're expecting. For instance, I would look up in the Help files or in a book how the brush and pencil tools function. Different settings in different places will spare you the surprise of ever-changing lines as you draw them. You'll probably also want to know how to draw open and closed paths if you hope to fill your drawings with color.
On the other hand, drawing on paper is a treat that you'll not really be able to replicate on computer. Even with a tablet. Doesn't feel the same, doesn't sound the same, doesn't smell the same. Doesn't even look the same.

Hello - Does anyone know how I can color the middle of a two circle Venn Diagram in InDesign CS6?

Hello - Does anyone know how I can color the middle of a two circle Venn Diagram in InDesign CS6?

I essentially do what Ellis recommends, although I usually use a somewhat different method:
Draw two circles
Copy and paste in place
Select the topmost circles
Use Object -> Pathfinder -> Intersect, which creates the green object in Ellis' screenshot
Then grab the bottom-most circles and use Object -> Pathfinder -> Exclude Overlap
Lastly, with your Exclude Overlap circles still selected, use Release Compound Paths.
This has the same effect, but I don't love the anchor-points-and-scissors method myself. Many years ago I taught myself Illustrator with a flaky mouse on an irregular surface; it left me with a pathological hatred of tasks that require fiddly mouse-work. So I have keyboard shortcuts for all of the above, and can select all of the objects without having to very carefully mouse over a path. If you're fast with fiddly mouse-work, Ellis' method will probably work better for you than mine.

I am trying to figure out how to merge my AD network account.

I am trying to figure out how to merge my AD network account with my Mac account. The main reason for this is wanting to log into my admin account on the Mac, and have it also log into my network account so I do not have to log into differing accounts depending on wether I am on the network or not. And I am going to be running VMware fusion with windows on top, so having one account would be essential to this.
Thanks.
P.S. I am brand new to Apple, not by choice. ;-)

Basically I want to link a network account to a local account, so that I always log into the same account, even if I do not have network access....

How-To allow records with Overlapping Time from SAP R/3

Hi guys,
Made reference to SAP Note 336229.
Maintained my Transfer Rules of Data Source 0HR_PA_PA_1 to Info Source 0HR_PA_PA_1 and all is green! Unfortunately, still NO data and error IDOC message is " The data request was a full update. In this case, the corresponding table in the source system does not contain any data."
"The extractor of the DataSource reads the master data tables of the Employee (0EMPLOYEE) and person (0PERSON) InfoObjects and makes changes to these time-dependent attributes available as headcount changes"...says SAP
Info Object person (0PERSON) works!!!, however Info Object(0EMPLOYEE) is giving me problem whereby in SAP R/3 Data Source (Employee - Education and Training) 0EMPLOYEE_0022_ATTR allows time overlapping of records, BUT BW generates an error " The time interval ['99991231'/'19930104'] & (from/to) for the data records 46 and 47 overlaps in characteristic 0EMPLOYEE "
For example, lets assume there is Employee X with the following entry in SAP R/3.
Begin Date||| End Date ||| SubType

SAP R/3 allows this overlapping of time records however, BW does NOT. How can I tackle this overlapping issue in SAP BW?
With much appreciation!

Hi guys,
Please assist to resolve this.
I attempted to assigned 0DATETO and 0DATEFROM to my attributes of 0EMPLOYEE, but it gives me the following error
 Characteristic 0EMPLOYEE: Attribute 0DATETO cannot be used w. time-dependent attribte
 InfoObject 0DATETO cannot be used as an attribute if attibutes already exist that are time-dependent. Attribute 0ANSALARY is such an attribute. A field in the InfoObject 0DATETO is automatically generated in the master data table.
Once again, what I want is to be able to allow the Records with HighDate in R/3 into my BW Cubes.
Please please assist !

How to merge the cells on a tittle's report

Hi there!
Considering a simple obiee report composed of a title and a pivot table. At the same time, the title is composed of a logo and a sentence. If I export it to excel, the logo in the title and the sentence are allocated to separated cells. Do you know how to merge the cells on the tittle?
Any help will be GREATLY appreciated.
Thank you very much indeeed!!!

Hi There,
I am also facing same issue. Please let me know if any one has solved it.
Thanks in advance.

How to load color table in a indexed mode file??

How to load color table in a indexed mode file??
Actually, if i opened a indexed file and want to edit color table by loading another color table from desktop (or any other location), any way to do this through java scripting??

continuing...
I wrote a script to read a color table from a GIF file and save to an ACT color table file. I think it might be useful for someone.
It goes a little more deeper than the code I posted before, as it now identifies the table size. It is important because it tells how much data to read.
Some gif files, even if they are saved with a reduced palette (less than 256), they have all the bytes for the full color palette filled inside the file (sometimes with 0x000000). But, some gif files exported in PS via "save for web" for example, have the color table reduced to optimize file size.
The script store all colors into an array, allowing some kind of sorting, or processing at will.
It uses the xlib/Stream.js in xtools from Xbytor
Here is the code:
// reads the color table from a GIF image
// saves to an ACT color table file format
#include "xtools/xlib/Stream.js"
// read the 0xA byte in hex format from the gif file
// this byte has the color table size info at it's 3 last bits
Stream.readByteHex = function(s) {
function hexDigit(d) {
 if (d < 10) return d.toString();
 d -= 10;
 return String.fromCharCode('A'.charCodeAt(0) + d);
var str = '';
s = s.toString();
 var ch = s.charCodeAt(0xA);
 str += hexDigit(ch >> 4) + hexDigit(ch & 0xF);
return str;
// hex to bin conversion
Math.base = function(n, to, from) {
 return parseInt(n, from || 10).toString(to);
//load test image
var img = Stream.readFromFile("~/file.gif");
hex = Stream.readByteHex(img); // hex string of the 0xA byte
bin = Math.base(hex,2,16); // binary string of the 0xA byte
tableSize = bin.slice(5,8) // Get the 3 bit info that defines size of the ct
switch(tableSize)
case '000': // 6 bytes table
tablSize = 2
break;
case '001': // 12 bytes table
tablSize = 4
break;
case '010': // 24 bytes table
tablSize = 8
break;
case '011': // 48 bytes table
tablSize = 16
break;
case '100': // 96 bytes table
tablSize = 32
break;
case '101': // 192 bytes table
tablSize = 64
break;
case '110': // 384 bytes table
tablSize = 128
break;
case '111': // 768 bytes table
tablSize = 256
break;
//========================================================
// read a color (triplet) from the color lookup table
// of a GIF image file | return 3 Bytes Hex String
Stream.getTbColor = function(s, color) {
function hexDigit(d) {
 if (d < 10) return d.toString();
 d -= 10;
 return String.fromCharCode('A'.charCodeAt(0) + d);
var tbStart = 0xD; // Start of the color table byte location
var colStrSz = 3; // Constant -> RGB
var str = '';
s = s.toString();
 for (var i = tbStart+(colStrSz*color); i < tbStart+(colStrSz*color)+colStrSz; i++) {
 var ch = s.charCodeAt(i);
 str += hexDigit(ch >> 4) + hexDigit(ch & 0xF);
 return str;
var colorHex = [];
importColors = function (){
 for (i=0; i< tablSize; i++){ // number of colors
 colorHex[i] = Stream.getTbColor(img, i);
importColors();
// remove redundant colors
// important to determine exact color number
function unique(arrayName){
 var newArray=new Array();
 label:for(var i=0; i<arrayName.length;i++ ){
 for(var j=0; j<newArray.length;j++ ){
 if(newArray[j]==arrayName[i])
 continue label;
 newArray[newArray.length] = arrayName[i];
 return newArray;
colorHex = unique(colorHex);
// we have now an array with all colors from the table in hex format
// it can be sorted if you want to have some ordering to the exported file
// in case, add code here.
var colorStr = colorHex.join('');
//=================================================================
// Output to ACT => color triplets in hex format until 256 (Adr. dec 767)
// if palette has less than 256 colors, is necessary to add the
// number of colors info in decimal format to the the byte 768.
ColorNum = colorStr.length/6;
lstclr = colorStr.slice(-6); // get last color
if (ColorNum < 10){
ColorNum = '0'+ ColorNum;
cConv = function (s){
 var opt = '';
 var str = '';
 for (i=0; i < s.length ; i++){
 for (j=0; j<2 ; j++){
 var ch = s.charAt(i+j);
 str += ch;
 i ++;
 opt += String.fromCharCode(parseInt(str,16));
 str = '';
 return opt
output = cConv(colorStr);
// add ending file info for tables with less than 256 colors
if (ColorNum < 256){
 emptyColors = ((768-(colorStr.length/2))/3);
 lstclr = cConv(lstclr);
 for (i=0; i < emptyColors ; i++){
 output += lstclr; // fill 256 colors
output += String.fromCharCode(ColorNum) +'\xFF\xFF'; // add ending bytes

Hi,
From Your code I saw that you called Macro of fieldcat after Calling the ALV Function Did You Check That One.

How to merge pdf files in Preview in Lion

I've consulted Preview Help to find out how to merge many pdf files into one. The Help window tells me to open each file, and transfer the thumbnail from each opened document into the sidebar of the other. Who wrote this Help item? Once you drag one thumbnail into the other sidebar, the other window closes, and there's no way to drag the closed file into the other file's sidebar. And I've tried! And tried! A helpful way out is to combine the two files, click Print, then save as PDF. But there must be a more direct way to accomplish this merger. Before Leopard, the procedure was easy. Then in Leopard, Apple made it a little more challenging. Finally in Lion, Apple seems to have surpassed itself, making it almost impossible. Does anyone know how to accomplish this Herculean task in an easy way?

> The Help window tells me to open each file, and transfer the thumbnail from each opened document into the sidebar of the other.
It works the same way it did in SL. That's exactly what I did. Are you sure you are dragging the thumnail? I just dragged a pdf to a file of many pdfs combined and it went right in and joined the family. View menu > Thumbnails?
