Please point me to examples of fixed layout ebooks with javascript and animations

Hi! I am a danish children's author and want to create an ebook in "Fixed layout" for the ibookstore. I want the ebook to have simple interactive and animated features triggered by javascript. I would like more knowledge about what is and isn't possible with the javascript and CSS in apples fixed layout format. I have already viewed the "Yellow Submarine" ebook and Apples sample ebook "Sonnet 18". Are there more examples available?
Please do not point me to apps. There are great interactive book-apps for children - but for this project I am only interested in the Fixed layout format for the ibookstore.
All replies will be greatly appreciated, thanks!

if I can help, let me know...

Where can I find a Javascript developer for InDesign scripting?

Hi
as
I apologise in advance for posting on a technical site for InDesign developers, but our company (Dorling Kindersley) is looking for a full-time permanent developer to join our team. I've been looking for some months now and I would really appreciate some advice on where or how InDesign scripters look for work, as our role is quite specialised.
We can offer an attractive package and although I'm biased as I work there, Dorling Kindersley really is a nice place to work - fun, friendly and super creative. I would welcome advice or for someone to approach me if they're interested.
It's advertised as full-time and permanent but for the right candidate we can offer flexible working conditions.
Best
Heather Hughes
Publishing Technologies Software Developer (permanent role)
We’re looking for an enthusiastic individual keen to join our Creative Technical Support team, to create, maintain and enhance software tools for our creative and operations teams around the globe. This is a permanent full-time role.
Each tool is a script or collection of scripts that allows DK to automate their creative workflows, from checks that spreads and covers have been created correctly to automated deployment of colour settings.
The ideal candidate will have solid experience of using scripting to command Mac OS and Adobe products, have strong analytical skills and be curious, patient and willing to learn new skills. If you have design, publishing or print experience this will be an asset, but we can help fill in the gaps with training and guidance. You’ll need to be a ‘people’ person as most of the people you’ll come into contact with won’t have a software development background.
Not only do you get to work next door to Covent Garden, in the heart of London, but you’ll be welcomed into a small team of friendly and irreverent geeks, who are experts in Adobe applications and workflows and helping creative teams overcome their technical problems. Lunchtimes are often spent getting out and sampling the local cuisine in the vast number of restaurants and eateries around the office.
You’ll get to work in a relaxed, sociable and friendly environment, working alongside our award-winning creative staff to develop their ideas for tools and get satisfaction from freeing them up to be even more creative.
Skills required:
Excellent skills and experience in using Javascript
Experience of working with Macs and Adobe applications preferred
Other programming skills and experience an advantage, e.g. Applescript, Adobe InDesign Document Object Model, XML structure, TDD, Shell Script, Obj-C, C++ and Xcode
Ability to learn new technologies swiftly
Why work for DK?
DK is an award-winning global publisher of distinctive, highly visual products for adults and children alike. We have a reputation for producing innovative design and digital products.
Everything we make from books, eBooks and apps give unrivalled clarity to topics with a unique combination of words and pictures, put together to spectacular effect.
We produce content for consumers in over 52 countries and 42 languages from offices in Delhi, London, Melbourne, Munich, New York and Toronto. We celebrate our 40th birthday this year, and we are enormously proud to be the world’s leading illustrated reference publisher.
You’ll be joining an awesome and highly talented, diverse and creative team, in an environment where everyone is encouraged to learn and coach new skills, as well as having the opportunity to grow and develop with people who are passionate about what they do.

Hi Heather,
I think you've found probably the best place possible to post this opening.
I personally am interested, and would like to pursue this further. My email is admin [at] freelancebookdesign.com

Coding with javascript in EDGE tutorials/samples from start to finish

Hi
I realize the forum is good sourc for javascript tips. But for us un-whiz kids that take advantage of all the gifts you geniuses at Adobe create, could there be a javascripting for Edge workshop? Coding from start to finish. If one does not know how to implement the code, that ONE is at a loss. I know that I could take EDge and fly with it visually but when it comes to the level of interactivity and animation, Istumble and come to an abrupt stop.
Is the javascript workshop/tutorials a posibilty?
Thanks so much,
Angelique

Hi Angelique!
I am in something of the same boat as You. I have found this forum to be very informative & the knowledgeable folks here are very generous with their time... but the information is all over the place and lacks the collimated immediacy of a thorough (indexed!) manual. Ditto the very helpful Animate videos & tutorials on the Internet which, while valuable, are often time consumming to track down specific information.
When learning a new discipline I do best with cogent printed manuals featuring a methodical presentation - which are also a snap to reference. Along these lines two books have caught my eye and I will be ordering... they might be of interest to You:
Adobe Edge Animate: The Missing Manual by Chris Grover (O'Reilly Media) - Pages: 306
Print: $24.99; e-Book: $19.99 (both for $27.49)
http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920027553.do
The Missing Manual series has always proved a provident guide for what ever program I was seeking to learn. This book looks like it follows suit. In the example on-line files I perused Chris struck me as an elegant scripter.
Learning Adobe Edge Animate by Joseph Labrecque (Packt) - Pages: 368
Print (eBook included in price) $44.99; eBook only $22.94
http://www.packtpub.com/learning-to-create-engaging-motion-rich-interactivity-with-adobe-e dge/book
Joseph pulls a few shifts on Adobe TV's Animate tutorials & is excerpted in the edge_animate_reference.pdf. I like how he writes (and~or has a great editor)... concise explanations.
These books appear to offer info on a plethora of topics with valuable Javascript examples. Though no doubt there will be considerable overlap of subject matter I think these two books feature enough different material to make both worth purchasing.

Jquery in background task JavaScript runtime error: 'window' is undefined

How do we access the window variable in backgroundtasks ?
i need to use jquery and i get JavaScript runtime error: 'window' is undefined

It looks like jQuery is not written to be used from a web worker--or else you need a variant that is. This is because the global context in a background task written in JavaScript is
WorkerGlobalScope (see
http://www.w3.org/TR/workers/#workerglobalscope) not window, so window
isn't defined.
You might be able to work around a situation like this, depending on what is needed from
window. (I'm assuming jQuery is trying to initialize its UI libraries, in which case you probably won't be able to do that from a worker/background task. They can't do UI directly.)
If you need something from window, specifically, your running app, when it registers the background task, could also write the necessary values into the
Windows.Storage.ApplicationData.localSettings container as background tasks can access that at any time.
It could be possible, then, to write the necessary values from window
into local settings, then create a window object and populate it with those values before loading jQuery. It'd be a hack, but might get you where you need to be.
That said, because there are limitations on what you can do from a background task, and how long you can run, you might ask whether jQuery is really buying you anything in that context. I can't say, of course, but it's a reasonable question to ask before
trying this kind of workaround.

Can't SETCOOKIE with Javascript with SAFARI

Why can't a cookie be set/read when the HTML/Javascript application (eBOOK) is located on the local file system, or on a local network file server (ie: not a WEB server)?
Opera, Firefox work great, but not Safari.
This breaks the ability to locally execute an HTML based application that may use cookies for various functions(i.e.: thousands of eBooks/educational apps).
eBook apps may even be run from CD/DVD but when the url begins with "file:///..." setcookie and getcookie are ignored, regardless of the privacy/security setting preferences. All permutations have been tried.

There are two places on settings where you can tunr zoom on or off for the trackpad.
They both need to be on for it to work.
The first is under: system preferences>trackpad>scroll & zoom, then you just need to chekc the box to turn zoom on. ( this is the one you already have checked i think)
The second is under: system preferences>universal access>seeing, then check the box that says zoom.
Hope this helps.

Javascript - is there something like an "active row count" property??

Lets say I have a tabular form. Every time I use the form, the # of rows returned by the query will vary. Maybe first time I go to the page, the select statement returns only 5 rows, but the next day it returns 25 rows.
Is there some type of system variable to stores the # of rows visible on the page at a given time within this tabular form?
I realize that if I have an tabular form item with an id of f03 for example, then on each row it will be referenced as f03_0001, then f03_0002 on the next row and then f03_0003 on the next row etc...
In pseudocode, here is what I want to do:
For i = 1 to ACTIVE_ROW_COUNT (assuming this is the # of rows in the HTML table)
perform some operation on 'f03_000' + ACTIVE_ROW_COUNT
Do you see what I'm after? I checked the APEX api, but I couldn't find such a property. It seems like you can't do much if you can't figure out this current index # or the max on the page.
Also, I tried playing around with the "this" keyword in hopes of finding a pointer to the "current item" that would have triggered the onchange event, but no luck either.
Thanks in advance.

Hi:
Within javascript you can reference the columns of the tabular form as
<script>
col1 = document.forms0.f01; // the first updateable column of your report
alert (col1.length) ; // number of rows
</script>varad

How do I use Edge Animate to make a clickable image which can be used in Author, and which will redirect you to a different page in your ebook?

If anyone has experience with Edge Animate, I know that I can make an image clickable, and I can insert a url to define where it will go once clicked. But I want to make a widget to use in iBooks Author, that can take the reader to a certain page of the book. Is this possible?
It all seems very complicated. Make one thing in Edge Animate, then somehow have that reference something in Author, which will finally work in an ebook. I have no clue where to begin.

Sort of. I'm using this code inside an action for a button symbol. But it doesn't work perfectly. Trying to debug it.
Let me know if you have any luck.
//Check to see if pageCounter already exists
if (typeof EC.pageCounter === 'undefined') {
// it doesn't exist so initialize it to first page
EC.pageCounter = 2;
//check if the page is only 1 digit -- patch for single digit
if (EC.pageCounter < 9) {
// it is, so we need to pad a 0 on the front.
EC.pageCounterString = "0" + EC.pageCounter;
//e.g. 01 ...09,11,12,13....115,222352,,....
else {
EC.pageCounterString = EC.pageCounter;
EC.loadComposition(EC.pageCounterString + "/publish/web/" + EC.pageCounterString + ".html", sym.$("container"));
EC.pageCounter = EC.pageCounter + 1;
//TODO for back -1

Having a problem with eBooks in my iTunes library.

As the title says, I'm having some problems with the iTunes library not reflecting what's actually on the disk.
I add the ebook and it seems to add ok. The file gets consolidated into /mymusic/books under the author correctly, but the book is missing from the library. The book is in ePub format, and seems to have the right file extension and shows up as a file of "ePub" type in windows explorer.
Any ideas? Is there a way to re-build the library or a portion of it?

Problem with JavaScript in my PDF Form buttons

I am trying to have my user click on a button in my form on my website and e-mail the form data to me.
I am using the following JavaScript with my form button:
this.mailForm(false, "[email protected]", "", "", "Subject", "Message Body");
Protected mode is off.
When I use the above statement (whether the 1st parameter is set to true or false), nothing happens – no email gets sent and no mail dialog box appears. If I change from this.mailForm(...) to this.mailDoc(...), I get a mail dialog box but, as expected, it sends the blank form without the filled-in data due to low user privileges.
How can I send the form data with this.mailForm(...)? (Note that I prefer to use this.mailForm(...) rather than mailto:(...) because this.mailForm(...) supposedly allows me to e-mail the form without user interaction.)
-- Don

Thanks for responding. I have been using “Submit a form” in the Mouse up event. I had that operation do a mailto: and it worked, but required user interaction on the part of the web page visitor. I have successfully created an equivalent JavaScript including:
    var url = "mailto:[email protected]?subject=mySubject&body=MyMessage";
    this.submitForm(url, true);
The above sent the FDF file successfully, but again, it required user interaction.
Then I tried this JavaScript - as I mentioned in a previous post - after you said to use doc.submitForm():
    var url = "http://mydomain.com/submit_notice.php";
    doc.submitForm(url, false);
The above script seemed to do nothing (with no error message). Shouldn't it bring up the PHP file in the web browser?
I have that php file, submit_notice.php, created, but I have not written any PHP scripts to e-mail the FDF file. I have never written a PHP script to take the posted FDF data and email it, but I have used the PHP mail() function and posted variables.
As for what I want to happen on the client side after the submit takes place: I simply want the FDF file to go to an e-mail that I specify. Additionally, I need it to happen without any client interaction on the part of the web page visitor. I can expect that visitor to have Adobe reader, but no add-ons or protected mode requirement.
Please give me an example that emails the FDF file without any user interaction.
Thank you.

Open and Close Popup With Javascript

Using Apex 3.2
I have probably done this loads of times in my old job, but do not have access to the code and today I just can't get it to work properly.
I have opened a pop up window with javascript
Now I need to close it and refresh the calling page, but only if it passes the validation on the popup.
I have a hidden item on my pop up called P7_FLAG.
I have a page process after validation that sets P7_FLAG to (only set to 1, if passes validation).
I also have a SUBMIT button.
So once I click my SUBMIT button the page should look at the validations, if ok, set P7_FLAG to 1, then close the popup and refresh the calling page.
My current javascript look like this
<script type="text/javascript">
function saveChanges(){
doSubmit('SUBMIT');
var test = $x('P7_FLAG').value;
if(test == '1')
window.close();
window.opener.doSubmit('REFRESH');
</script>On my button
javascript:saveChanges();The problem is that I need to click the SUBMIT button twice.
First time it sets P7_FLAG
Second time it closes page and refreshes.
I have probably made some basic error, but today I cannot see it.
Cheers
Gus

<script type="text/javascript">
function saveChanges(){
doSubmit('SUBMIT');
var test = $x('P7_FLAG').value;
if(test == '1')
window.close();
window.opener.doSubmit('REFRESH');
</script>javascript does not wait for the current action to complete and then perform the next line.
means in your function call
doSubmit('SUBMIT');is triggered and it carry on's to next line that is
$x('P7_FLAG').value;this will not be set because you are setting the value of P7_FLAG to 1 in plsql and trying to check in javascript, which will not work.
what you need to do is amend your js function like below
<script type="text/javascript">
function saveChanges(){
doSubmit('SUBMIT');
</script>create a page branch to procedure and make it conditional to when P7_FLAG = 1
and set the branch source to below
htp.p('window.close();');
htp.p('window.opener.doSubmit(''REFRESH'');');

It appears to be a javascript problem, but firefox cannot open pages from ebscohost websites.

I'm a librarian at DePauw University. People who have upgraded to Firefox 5.0 or higher can get to Ebscohost pages but once there cannot do anything. For example, if I am on the Ebscohost Scientific American page and I try to expand +2011 in order to see the 2011 Scientific American issues nothing happens. It looks like javascript is supposed to expand the +2011. Everything works fine in Firefox 3.6.

When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
1. Clear Firefox's Cache
Tools > Options > Advanced > Network > Offline Storage: "Clear Now"
2. If needed, delete the site's cookies here
right-click a page on the site, choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
Remove all cookies on servers ending with sympatico.ca
Then try reloading the page. If you need to log in to read stories, you probably will have to log in again after removing their cookies.
Does it help?
