Is it possible to design a webpage in ID (5.5) them import to DW (5.5)?

I am working on my companies website, despite the fact i am not a web designer.  I am a student in multi media, and technically my job is video editing.  Just throwing that in so you know how very little i know about web design.
If i could possibly design my page in ID then import it to DW it would make my life very easy. Well thats my theory, i figure people with experience would be able to give me some advice.
Thanks All!!

If it were that easy, then everyone would be a web developer.  So, no, you can't do that.  Well, technically you can, but the pages you would get would break unexpectedly on the web.  Why?  ID is a PRINT application.  Your page size is always going to be 8.5x11 or whatever.  The web is not so rigid - the page size will be determined by the local browser's default settings, among other things, and these are all things that you cannot control.  So ID would take a 'rigid' graphic and create a 'rigid' page, and that page would break on a large percent of your viewer screens.
Unfortunately for you, there's no easy button.  This is ESPECIALLY true if you are building your company's public face (the website).  Somebody there is sitting on their brains having decided to give this job to a first-timer.  But it is what it is.
Do yourself and your company a BIG favor and tell them that before you lay pen to paper (speaking metaphorically), you need to take a break to familiarize yourself with the technology.  Then spend some significant time learning the ins and outs of HTML and CSS -

  • Is it possible to design a website completely in Fireworks?

    Just wondering if this is possible I used to be a engineering designer (& learned dozens of progams while in the field) & I'm trying to help my buddy with his new business building a website. I have no desire or need to learn code. Fireworks seems easy & I was wondering if it was possible to design a complete website in it?
    I'm almost done with his site I exported it as html & images in Fw's CS5 the only problem I'm having is the layout is fixed. I clicked on the center button under the export options but it doesn't do anything?
    I would also like the parts (header, nav buttons, images, & text boxes) to change as a proportion of the browser/screen size (I believe this is called flexible) but remain overall centered on all the pages.
    Thanks for helping out the newbie, please let me know how I can return the favor it would be my pleasure.

    I am re-designing our company's Website using (in order) PhotoShop CS5, Flash (with f4v fullscreen capable video), Fireworks and Dreamweaver CS5. I have always admired the appearance of websites created by graphic artists as opposed to non-artistic "code heads".  It is of course important that the site does not contain code errors or an oddball configuration that will cause it to fall apart when viewed in browsers like, Wheezer Von Hacktule's Web Shredder etc.  I'm a video editor, and can't be bothered with the quantum properties of a pixel and edit from the pixel on up as some of the code heads do.  And their sites look like it.  Look at some of the sites regulars in the Dreamweaver forum have put together... sorry to be a critic.
    Trust me, unless you are designing Websites for a bank or some top secret government project, the visual design method IS the most quick and straight forward. Yes CSS.
    Without going into a lot of detail:
    You start your design with PhotoShop, carefully name your layers (lowercase and use underscores) and put them in order.  Make sure to include "white space" between your graphic elements.  When you are happy with the appearance, open the PSD with Fireworks.  Using the shape tool in Fireworks, create your divs. Give them names like top_head and side_buttons etc. and keep the shape "divs" on the lower layers in Fireworks just above your background.  Run the shapes to the outside edge of your design BUT allow space of about 5 pixels between the divs, keeping them separate. Use the slice tool to tell Fireworks what your exported images are going to be.  Be sure to name them in the Fireworks layer pallette.  Be careful that nothing overlaps the div shape container and that no slice overlaps on to another.  You can better see this by zooming way in on your design.  BTW Fireworks optimizes images for the Web, much better than PhotoShop.  Optimize each image according to its type, photographic, use jpeg, clip art-like images use gif.
    Don't "slice" text areas you want to remain HTML text as opposed to an image of text.  Fireworks will automatically create that area as text upon export.
    Export from Fireworks as CSS and images.
    Open your html page in Dreamweaver.  Some things will be out of alignment.  That is where knowledge of CSS comes in.  Do your refinements in Dreamweaver.  You may need to go back to Fireworks and make some changes, then re-export.
    OK, so I created a rather complex design and I saved it as a template.  I uploaded the design to our server and checked it in Adobe Browserlab as well as the W3C Markup Validation page.  No alignment errors across many browsers and zero code errors at the W3C Markup Validation page.

  • Is it possible to design a moving text in LiveCycle

    Hi All ,
    One idea just struck to my mind . Is it possible to design a text which is moving in LiveCycle ? Like we can do by "Marquee" tag in HTML ?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    You can script to move objects, by referencing their x and y coordinates.
    An example is here: http://cookbooks.adobe.com/post_Moving_Objects_Around_a_Form-16519.html
    This example moves objects based on mouse positions on clicks. However you could use a similar approach to move any object. You would just need to look at what interaction will trigger the events.
    You will probably need to include a time delay otherwise the movement will happen too fast and the user will not appreciate the path. If you do get it to slow down, then be aware that the movement will be jerky and not a smooth path.
    Here is another example of a floating panel, which was for a forum post. https://acrobat.com/#d=jMWeGoYJPZBPKwlRspPWrw
    Good luck,
    Niall

  • I used to give my photo's keywords. Most of the time I have several photo's for the same keyword and it was possible to select all those photo's and give them the keyword in one move. Since of few weeks I can't do that anymore and I find it very annoying.

    . Since of few weeks I can't do that anymore and it's very annoying. What can I do to get back to the former situation?
    Check, if you have the "Primary Only" option enabled. Then keywords will only be applied to the "Primary Image":
    See:                  Keywords or ratings are applied only to one of the selected images - why?
    Uncheck the little square button with the "1".

    Hello bendercm, '''try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    [[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]
    ''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    [[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
    '''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
    ''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
    Thank you.

  • I have two iPads. With two functioning iPads. Is it possible (on the same ID) to sync two of them differently with the same account. So I want to use the new iPad for all my current functions. The old iPad for just my music collection?

    I have two iPads. With two functioning iPads. Is it possible (on the same ID) to sync two of them differently with the same account. So I want to use the new iPad for all my current functions. The old iPad for just my music collection and remove all the other stuff?

    Very easily. I have an iPod touch and iPad on the same account with totally different content.
    If you use iTunes, connect each iPad to your computer and open iTunes and deselect any automatic updating/syncing. If you don't sync with iTunes but have them set up independently, under the settings, App Store, turn off automatic downloads for apps, etc.
    I'm old fashioned, I set up and sync my iPad and iPod to my computer and iTunes. Each device has a different name  and I manage content manually and only allow sharing on what I want shared.

  • Is it possible to design a GUI for Displaying KM Docs with limited options?

    Hi all,
    The task is to secure the documents published in KM and accessible (read&write)to a limited group,the proposal is to display the docs in a new GUI which lacks options like, "save as , print,copy,paste," and i should also be able to disable certain Keyboard strokes like "printscreen,ctrl+C" etc.
    Request you all to tell me the possiblity of such GUI design else kindly suggest me any other alternative like role based splitting....etc...
    Many thanks in advance

  • Possible to design two reports  simultaneously?

    Hello!
    Is it possible to have one OBIEE analysis/dashboard open in one browser window and design a second report in another browser window? I tried it but when saving I got an cryptic XML error, though it may totally unrelated. After all, I am a OBIEE freshman.

    Hi Larry,
    The answer is yes, you can do it.
    It is better to use Mozilla browser rather than internet explorer to access answers.

  • 3.1.3.709: How to Verify and Fix a Possibly Corrupted Design?

    How to verify and fix, if necessary, a design that is likely to be corrupted? I first suspected I corrupted file when an attempt to reverse-engineer changes from the relation model to the logical did not work. After some investigation I found datamodeler.log file to which the following error was emitted whenever the reverse-engineer button was clicked: 2013-01-28 11:39:32,001 [AWT-EventQueue-0] ERROR MDBAction - java.lang.NullPointerException. This error message is reproducible. There are also additional warnings in the log whenever this particular design is opened such as [Thread-133] ERROR XMLTransformationManager - Unable to load object from XML: ..../model/dw/rel/A864FBB0-411F4EF06C86/table/seg_0/C4046530-1A69-AD31-6127-390C93D8F7F7.xml java.io.FileNotFoundException. The design has been moved from one Data Modeler version to another over the years. It is currently version controlled by SVN but, alas, I have not been able locate a fully functional copy from the repository. (People usually only use forward engineering from the logical model which appears to work fine most of the time.)
    I have investigated the design and located a single table object in the relational model that appears corrupted. It cannot be removed from the design with the DataModeler UI (nothing happend when I click on delete on the object menu). I then checked out a testing copy of the design and manually removed all the files with the object identifier in the file name. Additionally, I searched for xml blocks with a reference to the object identifier and deleted the corresponding blocks from those file. After that the reverse-engineering button began to function again. However, I am afraid of commiting a manually edited design to the repository as I am not certain that I have not broken something else.
    What is the recommended way to verify a design and fixing problems in it? Starting a new design from scratch is not an option since there is plenty of documentation within the design that cannot be easily obtained elsewhere. I could recreate the broken objects from the data dictionary if I first had a safe way to identify and delete them from the design.

    Miikka

    Hi Mikka,
    thanks for the info provided.
    You can use following script to see wrong foreign keys - in form table_name.fk_name:
    log_rep = new Packages.oracle.dbtools.crest.swingui.LogReport(model.getAppView());
    log_rep.setName("wrong FKs");
    text = "";
    fks = model.getFKIndexAssociationSet().toArray();
    for(var i=0;i<fks.length;i++){
         fk = fks;
         if(fk.getRemoteIndex() == null){
              text = text + "\n" + fk.getLongName();
    log_rep.setLog(text);
    log_rep.showModalDialog(new java.awt.Dimension(750, 550));
    and following script to remove themfks = model.getFKIndexAssociationSet().toArray();
    for(var i=0;i<fks.length;i++){
         fk = fks[i];
         if(fk.getRemoteIndex() == null){
              fk.remove();
    Now you can remove the table if you want to. Save design at the end.

  • Is it possible to design Business Cards

    I'm a newcomer to the world of Photoshop Elements in fact I only loaded the Programme onto my computer 10 minutes ago.
    Whilst browsing thru Photoshop Elements I noticed that in the "Create" section whilst it can do most things, I didn't see if you could
    design Business Cards, has anyone tried this & with what success.

      Try Vistaprint. They have a host of templates and you simply enter your details on line.
    You can get 250 free (you pay postage only) if you don’t mind their small logo on the back.
    I’ve used them myself and it’s a very good service - depending on your location.

  • Is it possible to design an animated navigation bar in Edge Animate CC for use in a Dreamweaver CC site to act as the site's internal navigation? I have my own example for review.

    Hi all,
    I'm hoping one of you good people can help me with this. I usually try and work out things by myself and is my first time posting as this one really has me stumped. A solution would be fantastic but if I could be given a definitive answer if it can be done or not then at least I can stop wasting my time.
    I'm loving Edge Animate as a cross browser alternative to Flash and the complete control I can now have building HTML5 and CSS animations from scratch. I build websites using Dreamweaver CC and wanted to create a bespoke drop down navigation for one of my sites in Edge animate CC to take into Dreamweaver. This I have done and is where I am having problems. The link to the test homepage in question is below with the nag bar made in Edge CC top right.
    http://www.elastic-canvas.co.uk/Nick_Scott_Media%202014_Website/index.html
    The problem is when setting the link attribute in Edge animate. You have the options of 'link in same window' or 'link in new window'. As it's for an internal navigation system neither seem to be appropriate. If I set it to open in a new window and set the live website address as follows it opens up the new page in a new window where as I want to replace the page. This is an example of the code I used to test if clicking 'sports advertising' would take you beck to the homepage:
    // Navigate to a new URL in a new window
    // (replace "_blank" with appropriate target attribute)
    window.open("http://www.elastic-canvas.co.uk/Nick_Scott_Media%202014_Website/index.html", "_blank");
    I ideally want to get into the code and just wrap each nav element with a <a href=""><a> tag. Can this be done and can it be done directly in Edge Animate CC?
    Cheers, Matt

    Hi,
    According to your description, my understanding is that use CMAK to configure split tunneling on VPN clients, traffic to specified devices can be routed via their own default gateway.
    If the manually added route entries all have default metric and interface, clients will select one by the default routing rule, can’t select one of them according to clients’ own conditions. So, I am afraid that CMAK can’t implement the function which you need.
    A blog described about How to configure split tunneling on VPN clients using CMAK, for your reference:
