How to use a sketch in DW to design a site?

Hi,
I remember on the really early versions of Dreamweaver one could use an image in the background (that would be locked); this would act as a design stencil/guide to help one design/build a site directly over it in Dreamweaver.
I've googled for hours and am getting nothing at all on it.
For example, one could have the image of the site design that you wanted to create sitting in Dreamweaver and that would be used as a guide that one could draw boxs etc. on top of it, and define areas to colour etc. for example.
I've forgotten how this was achieved, can anyone help?

You could easily achieve that by adding a .jpg of your design composition as a background-image in the css for your <body> element in a set of <style> tags in your <head> section during development (or create a design time stylesheet so you wouldn't have to worry about removing the background later: Adobe Dreamweaver * Use Design-Time style sheets)...
<style>
     body {background:url(yourcomp.jpg) no-repeat;}
</style>
I don't know of any other function in DW that would duplicate what you want, maybe it's a feature I've never seen. I've been using DW since CS3 and still get surprised every now and again.

  • How to use Object types with inheritance in design editor

    Does anyone know how to implement Oracle object sub types in Design editor.
    Is there a way of using the Database design transformer to convert entities to Object types rather than tables?
    Thanks in anticipation
    David

    What database and connection type are you using? Are you connecting the report directly to the database, or trying to assign the datasource to object data?
    It sounds like you might be trying to use a linked list, collection or other C# construct to pass your data in. This currently isn't supported by the Crystal Reports SDK. You can use a DataSet or a DataTable, and possibly also an IDataReader depending on which version of Crystal Reports you're referencing in your project. Of course you can also connect directly to the database, even if the database isn't on the same machine as the application.
    The way to show master records with detail information is through the use of subreports and linked subreport parameters. Linked subreports take their parameter value from a record in the main report, so that only the data appropriate to that master record is displayed. The guys over in the [report design|SAP Crystal Reports; forum can help you out with this if you have questions on the specifics.

  • Here's how to use your own custom Webclip icons for the sites you visit.

    This method is pretty much 95% taken from this URL: http://allinthehead.com/retro/319/how-to-set-an-apple-touch-icon-for-any-site , so credit where credit is due. The instructions are a bit hard to understand though, so I'll try to make it easier for everyone.
    Fortunately, this works for both Macs and PCs.
    INSTRUCTIONS:
    Requirements:
    - iPhone on 1.1.3 and any version of iTunes that can sync to iPhone
    - Adobe Photoshop or any other image editing program that can crop, alter image size, and save .png image files. (Recommended 24-bit .pngs as they are higher quality)
    - Apple Safari ( http://www.apple.com/safari/, and yes, you need it.)
    - A website or ftp where you can upload images and directly link to them, like Google Pages.
    Warning:
    - This requires you to sync your Safari bookmarks to your iPhone. You will probably lose all of your iPhone's bookmarks if you don't already sync your Safari bookmarks with your iPhone. Only proceed if you do not mind losing your iPhone's current bookmarks and do not mind re-entering them after the bookmark sync. NOTE: The bookmark sync DOES NOT get rid of your current Webclips though, so don't worry about those.
    Easy Steps:
    1) First, make sure that you are following these instructions in the Apple Safari web browser.
    2) Find an image you wish to make into a Webclip icon. (ex: I prefer to use movies.yahoo.com to look at movie showtimes, so I found an image of a movie reel from Google Image Search and decided to use that.)
    3) Open the image with your preferred image editor and crop your desired image into a perfect square. Resize that picture down to 57x57 pixels. Save as a 24-bit .png file. Upload the icon to your webpage or ftp. (ex: I ended up with this icon of a movie reel: http://ctolpin.googlepages.com/appleicon01.png )
    4) Select and copy the javascript code in this .txt file: http://ctolpin.googlepages.com/webclipcode.txt
    5) Go to Bookmarks and select "Add Bookmark..."
    6) Type in "Webclip Icon URL"
    7) Go to Bookmarks again and select "Show all Bookmarks."
    8) Right-click your new "Webclip Icon URL" bookmark and select "Edit Address"
    9) Paste your clipboard's contents into the field.
    10) Plug your iPhone into the computer if it's not connected already.
    11) In iTunes, select your iPhone from the right column. Select the Info tab. Scroll down to "Web Browser" and check "Sync bookmarks with: Safari" (obviously, make sure Safari is selected from the dropdown menu).
    12) Once your iPhone is synced, use your iPhone to navigate to your intended website target to make into a Webclip. Remember that Webclips save where you zoom in as well! (ex: For me, it was movies.yahoo.com and then entering in my zip code.)
    13) Once you've loaded your target website, open up the bookmarks in iPhone's Safari, select Bookmarks Bar, then select Webclip Icon URL.
    14) Type in the address of your uploaded icon. (ex: In my case, it is http://ctolpin.googlepages.com/appleicon01.png)
    15) iPhone's Safari will seem like it didn't do anything. However, add that webpage now to your home screen as a Webclip. Magic.
    Additional note:
    It is easiest to make a bunch of icons at first and to upload them. However, once that "Webclip Icon URL" bookmark is in your iPhone, there is no need to go back and do any of the computer Safari steps again
    My front page icons in order (Sorry Stocks, it's the second page for you!):
    Google, Wikipedia, Definr, Showtimes

     3 Go to the port forwarding section and copy down the Applied Rules. 
    Example:  
    Network Computer/Device: 192.168.1.100:63145
    Application & Ports Forward:  Application UDP Any -> 6347  
    Note: There may be up to three entries for each one of your Set Top Boxes.G
    Your display obviously is not like mine as mine does not dosplay the port associated with the ip address
    whatever, the STB's start at 192.168.1.100 and icement by 1 for each
    the port addr's will be 63145 alo incrementing by 1
    there is 1 entry for each in my pf list
    however each ip addr also has a port entry starting at 35000 also incrementing by 1 for each ip addr
    For some unknow reason these are duplicated e.g I appear to have 11 entries exaactly the same for each stb and as the fios services rules have no action switc there is nowhere to delete the extraneous garbage.
    Why do you clone the mac addr??

  • How to use OraSession for a high-traffic IIS/ASP site

    Guys,
    I am running into scalability issues with our production web server. The ASP requests queued keeps growing to crash the IIS eventually atleast once a day. We don't have any custom COM components and we believe database is not the bottleneck.
    We are using one OraSession object in the Application scope as follows:
    <OBJECT RUNAT="Server" SCOPE="Application" ID="OraSession" PROGID="OracleInProcServer.XOraSession"></OBJECT>
    Sub Application_OnStart
    OraSession.CreateDatabasePool 1, 120, 600, "TEST", "scott/tiger", 0
    End Sub
    We are calling OraSession.GetDatabaseFromPool(9000) whenever we need a database connection. I believe this object since it runs on single thread is unable to handle too much load.
    What's the best way of using OraSession/OraServer/OraDatabase objects for a high-traffic web site? The documentation doesn't have enough information. One interesting statement was that "Calling openDatabase method and attaching multiple user sessions(OraDatabase) after an OraServer object is created is useful with IIS like n-tier distributed environments" What does this mean?
    I appreciate any help.
    Thanks
    Krishna

    Hi iLac,
    I'm not sure what you meant by reverse engineering the browser's interactions with the site, but anything you can do within a browser you can feasibly do through scripts without resorting to a GUI. I'll mention a few tools that will help you out and briefly describe how you can use them to achieve what you want, although a bit more of a specific question may help. Anywhoo...
    First up I'd recommend Firebug for Firefox. A great tool that will let you visually inspect different elements of a rendered page in your browser to see the source code underneath. It also allows you to edit the page so you can test form input. (For example changing a Post to Get request to see the syntax.
    Next is "Live HTML Headers" which is also an addon for Firefox. Setting it to record and then clicking on a link will log all interaction between your browser and the website (eg. cookies, browser/system info, redirects etc.). You can really see what is going on behind the scenes.
    Finally you are going to want to use cURL which is a command line tool in the Terminal. Here is a like to a tutorial which will cover what you need [[http://curl.haxx.se/docs/httpscripting.html]] Basically cURL can interact with websites and download the source code for you (you will have to spoof cookies, and all other session info which could be a little difficult depending on the site, if you have to log in etc.).
    And that is about it. Using those three resources you can get anything off the web you can get with a browser. You just need to write an applescript to run the right cURL commands and extract the info from the HTML.
    If you have any other questions or need clarification or more help feel free to ask. Perhaps with a bit more detail on what exactly you are trying to achieve. My experience comes from auto updating homemade sports pools.
    Good Luck.

    Those filters work best when the foreground and background colors in the toolbox are different.

  • Can't figure out how to use home sharing

    Since the latest couple iTunes updates, my family and I can not figure out how to use home sharing. Everyone in our household has their own iTunes, and for a long time we would just share our music through home sharing. But with the updates, so much has changed that we can no longer figure out how to use it.
    I have a lot of purchased albums on another laptop in the house, that im trying to move it all over to my own iTunes, and I have spent a long time searching the internet, and everything. And I just can't figure out how to do it. So.... how does it work now? I would really like to get these albums from my moms iTunes, onto mine. I would hate to have to buy them all over again.
    If anyone is able to help me out here, that would be great! Thanks!

    The problem im having is that after I am in another library through home sharing, I can't figure out how to select an album and import it to my library. They used to have it set up so that you just highlight all of the songs you want, and then all you had to do was click import. Now I don't even see an import button, or anything else like it. So im lost... I don't know if it's something im doing wrong, or if our home sharing system just isn't working properly.
    Thanks for the help.

    Batch processing usually involves using actions you have recorded.  In Action you can insert Path that can be used during processing documents.  Path have some size so you may want to only process document that have the same size.  Look in the Actions Palette fly-out menu for insert path.  It inserts|records the current document work path into the action being worked on and when the action is played it inserts the path into the document as the current work path..

  • How to use airport time capsule with multiple computers?

    I'm sure there are some thread about this but i couldn't find it... so sorry for that but hear me out! =)
    I bought the AirPort Time Capsule to back up my MBP
    And so i did.
    then i thought "let give this one a fresh start" so i erased all of it with the disk utility and re-installed the MBP from the recovery disk.
    I dont want all of the stuff i backed up just a few files and some pictures so i brought that back.. so far so good.
    Now i want to do a new back up of my MBP so i open time machine settings, pick the drive on the time capsule and then "Choose" i wait for the beck up to begin, and then it fails.  It says (sorry for my bad english, im swedish haha) "the mount /Volume/Data-1/StiflersMBP.sparsebundle is already in use for back up.
    this is what i want:
    i want the "StiflersMBP.sparsebundle" to just be so i can get some stuf when i need them. it's never to be erased.
    i want to make a new back up of my MBP as if it's a second computer...
    so guys and girls, what is the easiest and best solution?
    Best regards!

    TM does not work like that.
    If you want files to use later.. do not use TM.
    Or do not use TM to the same location. Plug a USB drive into the computer and use that as the target for the permanent backup.
    Read some details of how TM works so you understand what it will do.

  • ** How to use TO_DATE function in Stored Proc. for JDBC in ABAP-XSL mapping

    Hi friends,
    I use ABAP-XSL mapping to insert records in Oracle table. My Sender is File and receiver is JDBC. We use Oracle 10g database. All fields in table are VARCHAR2 except one field; this is having type 'DATE'.
    I use Stored procedure to update the records in table. I have converted my string into date using the Oracle TO_DATE function. But, when I use this format, it throws an error in the Receiver CC. (But, the message is processed successfully in SXMB_MONI).
    The input format I formed like below:
    <X_EMP_START_DT hasQuot="No" isInput="1" type="DATE">
    Value in Payload is like below.
    <X_EMP_START_DT hasQuot="No" isInput="1" type="DATE">TO_DATE('18-11-1991','DD-MM-YYYY')</X_EMP_START_DT>
    Error in CC comes as below:
    Error processing request in sax parser: Error when executing statement for table/stored proc. 'SP_EMP_DETAILS' (structure 'STATEMENT'): java.lang.NumberFormatException: For input string: "TO_DATE('18"
    Friends, I have tried, but unable to find the correct solution to insert.
    Kindly help me to solve this issue.
    Kind Regards,
    Jegathees P.
    (But, the same is working fine if we use direct method in ABAP-XSL ie. not thru Stored Procedure)

    Hi Sinha,
    Thanks for your reply.
    I used the syntax
    <xsl:call-template name="date:format-date">
       <xsl:with-param name="date-time" select="string" />
       <xsl:with-param name="pattern" select="string" />
    </xsl:call-template>
    in my Abap XSL.  But, its not working correctly. The problem is 'href' function to import "date.xsl" in my XSLT is not able to do that. The system throws an error. Moreover, it is not able to write the command 'extension-element-prefixes' in my <xsl:stylesheet namespace>
    May be I am not able to understand how to use this.
    Anyway, I solved this problem by handling date conversion inside Oracle Stored Procedure. Now, its working fine.
    Thank you.
