Layer position fix to Table position

Hi there,
I have read quite a bit about positioning layers, however i
still find it imposible to use flexible tables with layers.
I have a simple info buton that onRollOver is shows a layer,
Example:
sample website
I manage to keep it quite close to the info buton, by setting
the left: 45% top: 65%; instead of pixels.
But when you resize the browser window (F11) it still moves .
And on full Screen it actually overlaps the buton making the
layer jumpy.
Thanks for some creative advice.
Anybody with a better solution?

> Ok, could you telll me what is wrong?
You didn't do what I told you to do.
<td colspan="2" align="center" valign="bottom"><div
style="position:relative"><div
id="Layer1"></div></div></td>
here is the css code
#Layer1 {
position:absolute;
width:334px;
height: 82px;
z-index:1;
left: 108px;
top:1px;
visibility: hidden;
background-image: url(olo_images/bubble.gif);

Positioning a layer relative to a table

Hi,
I've created a site based on a table that is centered in the
browser window.
I want to add a small layer to accommodate a dropdown menu -
which should be positioned just under one of the navbar buttons.
I know I need to somehow position the layer relative to the
table - but I'm really bad at code. Can anyone help?
(The navbar is actually a seperate file called 1nav.php that
is 'included' in the main file called 'template.php'. - in case
that makes a difference.)
You can see the site so far at:
www.mywebspinners.com/SR/template.php
Or just the navbar file at:
www.mywebspinners.com/SR/1nav.php
Thanks,
- Greg

This illustrates nicely some of the 'one-way' problems that
one can get into
by using only Design view (i.e., things that can happen that
you CANNOT get
yourself out of), and why it's always important to acquire
some familiarity
with HTML and CSS to work at all productively with
Dreamweaver (or any HTML
authoring system, for that matter).
Osgood beat me to the punch on his recommedation, and I think
it may be the
cause - but I'm waiting to see the results before posting
further.

Layer position misBehavior..! -( help ? )-

On any of the various pages I'd been putting together recently, I get confusing responses.
When I come back to verify link settings before publishing (locally), some of the links refuse to be positioned frontmost. Then I discover that a few of the other graphics in its neighborhood refuse to be directed backmost.
I've seen so much of this 'misbehavior' that I've developed the pattern of changing the opacity of any questionable link -(back to almost full)- just to determine from it's coloring where in the layer hierarchy it's decided to settle.
I tried duplicating another, properly behaving link, and changing its setting to the link I'd had to delete. That would only stay front most until it I'd moved it near the old position.
My experience has been that a newly duplicated item, iWeb would deposit on the page as frontmost
But these new links seemed to change their layer mind when they'd get close to the layer position they were replacing. Their now temporarily fully colored area would slide behind any item(s) in the current problem area.
I've tried several workarounds - most of them from within the same page. But the only thing that seems to work consistently has been to select something similar from another page where they seemed to be behaving correctly. Then I'd copy them from there and paste them into the new page as a group and change any text or graphic components as necessary.
It sure has become tedious keeping up with these iWeb neuroses.!
Does anyone know why this might be happening..?
-(my domain file size currently is around 16 mB, probably half of which is temp. archived graphics )-
-( for the interim, totally publishing locally)-
Has anyone a cure for this peripatetic behavior..?
Is there any easier workaround..?
Much advance appreciation for any tediosity relief.!

One way to do that would be to use two images: one blurred, one not. then use a mask to show and hide one or the other. You can probably adapt this example file: http://www.ddg-designs.com/downloads/mask.zip

Layer Positions - absolute

Having problems with layer position. Dreamweaver preview is
correct, as is
display in Internet Explorer.PC.
Firefox on PC, and all Mac browsers do not correctly place
top value (left
value is correct)
Any ideas? All layer attributes are in css. Emp01 below is
correctly placed.
Emp07 is not. All layers given unique Z-index
#Emp01 {
position:absolute;
left:183px;
top:275px;
width:180px;
height:42px;
z-index:1;
visibility: hidden;
#Emp07 {
position:absolute;
left:600px;
top:265px;
width:175px;
height:61px;
z-index:7;
visibility: hidden;

> This doesn't seem to make sense to me. Does it to you?
Yes, of course.
You have not controlled the margin-top on the <p> tag,
and IE will not
collapse that margin - thus leading you to conclude that it's
positioned
correctly. When you use a modern browser, that correctly
collapses that top
margin, you see the layer as being placed higher than you
want. The
solution is to use CSS to set that <p> tag's top margin
to zero. Then you
will be able to position the layer reliably....

Layer position resets when creating animations

I'm creating an animated gif from a video clip (cinemagraph). In order to acheive the effect I need, I need to move each layer with the move tool to get an object to stay in the same position. I have gone through layer by layer and used the move tool to move the contents of each layer. When I play the animation I see the layers in the position I put them in. As soon as I stop playing the animation the contents of each layer snap back to their original positions. I have tried using the lock tools (both lock position and lock all) but they don't make a difference. Can anyone tell me why layer positions would reset when creating animations and how to get it to stop?
Thanks for any help.
Eric

It seems from your answer that you're thinking I'm just moving one frame and expecting the rest of them to move automatically (but I'm not sure if that's what you are saying). I have gone through and moved each frame individually and then locked each frame's position individually. When I play the animation and then stop it the layers move back to their original positions.
I'm also not sure if you're thinking I'm expecting that when I move one image off the layer it will affect the next layer. That's not what I'm expecting. I'm just repositioning the image on each layer to get a particular object to stay in one place (the camera was moving while shooting), so I'm dealin gwith each layer individually.
Thanks

Fixed length tables

Hi,
I am creating rtf templates for AR Statement, AP Check printing. I created table for printing the invoice details on top, and in the pdf output the XML publisher is printing the table with a length depending upon the number invoices. How to get the table with a fixed length irrespective of number of invoices it is printing. I even tried nesting this table in side the fixed size table with the length I want, but still it is not printing the inner table to full size.
How can I specify the fixed size length for the table in the template?
Thanks,
Mahesh

I have exactly the same problem.
Canadian friends watch out, the Canadian Payment
Association has set the deadline December 2006. The
Check must be on the bottom of the Check Stub.
Everyone should comply.
But my projects deadline was April 4.
Official Oracle response is:
The Word feature of fixed table sizes is not
supported by XML Publisher.
Oracle suggested the coding as the solution.
The problem is that suggested solution from Oracle is
not working. It introduced new problems.
SR is still open and in status investigating.
Generally, the solution is easy if there is enough
invoice lines to populate whole Invoice section of
the Check Stub. Problem is that in most cases we do
not have maximum number of invoice lines. Some times
there is an overflow where invoice lines are printed
on the next Check Stub page ... next page same
problem ...
At the moment, I think that XML Publisher does not
offer leveraged solution for printing the checks.
If you have any idea please let me know.

L.Right

Fixing the Table Header in the default JSF Table

I am using the default JSF Table in Sun JS Creator (Version JSC 2 EA 2) with a
Scroll Bar Option (instead of Pagination Control). However I have not
been able to fix the table header and scroll only the data rows in the
table.
I have tried to use CSS style for table header, but it has not worked
either. Where do I set the CSS style - in JSCreator JSF Datatable or
JSCreator Table component, neither seems to work for me?
Is there any other way to fix the table header default JSF Table in Sun
JS Creator?
Using the scroll bar is critical user requirement for me and fixing the
table header will ensure that I can use the default JSF Table in Sun JS
Creator, alternatively we will have to use some other JSF table e.g.
from myFaces or an HTML Table and lose on the productivity benefit of
JSCreator.

Dynamic XML Source to a Fixed Target Table

Hi gurus,
Please help me on this one, I've been trying to work it around for 2 weeks now, and unfortunately, I can't think of any solutions anymore.
So here is the case:
I'm using ODI 11g and I'm loading XML files to Oracle Tables.
But in this case I have a dynamic XML file (number of columns varies, depends on the user input) as the source and I have to load it into a fixed Target Table.
Example:
XML SOURCE FILE (dynamic number of columns):
Column_A1 | Column_B1 | Column_C1 | Column_A2 | Column_B2 | Column_C3 | Column_A3 | Column_B3 | Column_C3 | | **
**means I don't have idea how many columns in one XML would be. It can be 6 columns, 9 columns, 3 columns. I do reverse engineer to get the latest XML structure.*
FIXED TARGET OUTPUT TABLE (3 columns only):
Column_A1 | Column_B1 | Column_C1
Column_A2 | Column_B2 | Column_C2
Column_A3 | Column_B3 | Column_C3
** | * | **
--END OF EXAMPLE*
So what I want to happen is that, everytime ODI detects that it is already the 4th column, 4th - 6th columns would append to the next row and 7th-9th would append to the next row, and goes on and goes on.
What do you think is the best way to do this? Or if there is any way?
Please please help me, it would be of great great help to the project I'm working.
If there's no way, I'm thinking of creating a PL/SQL within a KM for this one.
Thank you gurus'!
Regards,
-Vince

What is the minimum number of columns from source side..if the minimum number of column will be 3 then my logic may work.
Please confirm.
Because in case of odi reverse, odi will add the extra column to the datastore. If initially the souurce file has 3 columns then the target datastore will 3. In next reverse if the source file has 5 column then in the next reverse it will add 2 more column to the datastore. Again nexttime if the source file has 2 column ODI is not going remove/drop these 3 extra column.

Fixed Size Table

I'm creating an rtf template for a master detail report which will be printed over template papers not white papers, so i want to make a fixed size table lets say of 10 rows for details. When i tried to make a table of 10 rows and put the for each loop statement in first row i got table of details + 9 empty rows !! so please can anyone guide me here.
Thanks in advance.

Does it really make sense to specify a limit in terms of storage space rather than time? If there is a 500x difference in the number of inserts over the course of an hour, it seems likely to me that users would generally want to keep a certain number of days worth of log information rather than keeping a certain volume in MB. If you ask for a limit in MB, users that use the low rate of inserts would end up with a table so small that if you got to the point of generating lots of records you'd be aging them out far too fast-- those that use the higher rate of inserts would end up with a huge table that has far more history than they need just to accomodate keeping a certain window of log records at the peak.
If you are determined to limit the size of the table, you could potentially run a program periodically that determines the size of each partition (via DBA_SEGMENTS) and then drops the oldest partition if the overall size is too large. But a single partition is likely not to have a huge level of granularity-- you're probably not going to partition by much more than the day, so dropping the oldest partition would purge all the logs for that day. You could potentially get more control over space by not partitioning the table and just deleting the last N rows if you are over the limit, but that probably involves much more frequent checks of space usage and is far, far less efficient in doing the actual deletes.

Help with Layer Positioning and TimeLine

Hello all, here is my situation:
I am trying to do a simple Layer animation for my home
page... 4 Layers startoff at the right of my webpage(table) and end
up at the left handside, as an example.
My problem is I have a main 1x1 table that is centered, and
that works fine to center all the text and images that are within
it, but the layers that I tried placing within it stay absolute to
the screen and not relative to the table.... and if I try to
specify relative position in the first place for any of the layers
that Layer disapears from my Layer panel and I cannot timeline with
it???!!!
This Started out as a lame trial to avoid making a flash
movie for this animation.. but right now I am more interested in
knowing the possibilities and limitations of using Layers and
Timelines in Dreamweaver.... Any help or comments are most welcome.
Layth

I have requested that the thread be removed, Andrew. That's
the best we can
do, I'm afraid. Thing is, it can only be removed from the
webforums, and
not from the local computers of those who have already
downloaded the
message. Also, if Google Groups synched already, then it's
like being
carved in stone....

Text and layer position problems

Hi, I am creating a webpage and I have installed a background
image. for which I have centred and all is fine.
I am now using layers to add text so I can place the text
wherever I want.
But when I save and view in IE and Firefox the text is not in
the correct position. I have tried a number of things to solve this
all to no avail.
Please can someone help me.
The text I have so far is:

> I am now using layers to add text so I can place the
text wherever I want.
This is number 4 in the top 5 mistakes someone can make in
building their
pages. Here's why -
http://www.great-web-sights.com/g_layer-overlap.asp
It will help you to understand the difference between
absolute positioning
and centering content. Your layer is absolutely positioned,
and your
background is centering. That's never going to work the way
you want....

Layer Position

Maybe I am an idiot... (Don’t answer that)
I have been designing web pages for a while now, but never
really got into layers (i'm a table/css man myself). But, I now
have found a possible use...
I have a webpage that is a whole mess of tables, and I do not
want to disturb that. BUT, I want to overlay some flash on top. So,
I thought, let me tryout layers...
well, I'm not having much luck. Every time I publish the
page, the table shifts. (Different in IE and Fire fox).
I have them positioned absolute in my CSS, no dice... I tried
putting the exact pixels in the div tag, still no luck. It looks
perfect in the development environment.
So, do tables just plane suck? Or just need a little
massaging?
OR
Does someone have a better way to overlay a flash object on
top of my existing tables?
Thanks in advance.

> but its shifting when published (different in IE and
FireFox). It
> also shifts when the browser window is adjusted.
The layer is not shifting since it is absolutely positioned.
The table
underneath it is, probably. Is it a centered or a percent
width table?

Layer Positioning For IE and Firefox

Im using Dreamweaver 8. Im trying to position a flash file at
the center of the top of the page, and at the bottom of the page.
but for some reason its only laying out properly in Internet
Explorer. i was using Project Vii's Screen Layout extension. For
some reason in Firefox the layer at the bottom of the page is
positioned strangely. like it is too low or something or that its
trying to position at the very top of the layer instead of the
bottom - i want the bottom flash file to overlap the top one when
clicked - u can take a look. check it out in IE and Firefox.
anyhelp is greatly appreciated.

Get rid of the Layout Designer and take a look at how I did
it here -

It's way simpler.
In addition, I'm not sure what you are describing, but could
this be your
problem?

Changing layer position vertically

I'm having a problem when adding a new layer that needs to be positioned
below older layers on the timeline.
When I drag the layer down, it -overlays- another layer, rather remaining
separate. Or it positions itself on a layer with other video, which I don't want.
Any help appreciated.

It probably doesn't apply in this case, but a cool tip is to Option-drag a sequence into another sequence and drop it as an Overwrite edit on the higher video track. Option dragging will give you all the individual clips, rather than one big NESTed clip.
(At least I think it's Option-drag. System not on right now. If it's not Option, try the other modifier keys. PBC - Posting Before Coffee.)

Navigation layer positioning shifting when used as component

Hello, really hoping someone can help me figure out what I'm doing wrong. I have a site with a drop down nav that I made using layers. After having the client change the nav a few times I realized what a pain it is to update each page on the site with the pages, so I decided to try to make a separate file for the nave and place it as a component into each page so I could update just one page and see the changes across the whole site.
The problem is that the nav file I made looks correct on it's own, but when I place it the positioning shifts to the left and doesn't line up with the page anymore. The positioning seems to be fixed when the page size changes (not sure what that's called). Anyway I can make this work?
The nav page is here: http://bostonsruntoremember.com/boston/_brtr_navlayers2.html
And a sample page with the nav placed as a component is here: http://bostonsruntoremember.com/boston/_autonav_test.html
Unfortunately I was suppose to make a bunch of changes last week but have wasted a bunch of time trying to figure this out.

Hi,
Here is my graphical solution for your problem. Underneath is the explanation:
DC_A
+DC Usage: refs DCB.PP_B
+WDCompA
   +Controller
   +Component Interface
     +Interface Views
       +MyWindowAInterfaceView
   + Component Usages
     +WDCompA (Component Usage)
   +Views
     +MyViewA
   +Windows
     +MyWindowA
       +MyViewA (View Usage)
         +InboundPlugA <-----------------+
       +WDCompB.MyWindowBInterfaceView   |
         +OutboundPlugB -----------------+
DC_B
Public Part:PP_B
             + contains WDCompB
+WDCompB
   +Controller
   +Component Interface
     +Interface Views
       +MyWindowBInterfaceView
         +OutboundPlugB
   +Views
     +MyViewB
   +Windows
     +MyWindowB
       +MyViewB (View Usage)
can you add a view to a public part? The only way how you can embed a view from a different DC is through a window of the WD component (we are not talking about DC now). A window is the visible part of a Web Dynpro component. It is represented by the so-called Interface view locatated in the WD explorer under
Project->Component->Component Interface->Interface Views.
Each Interface view has a window (Project->Component->Windows) with the same name in which you can embed the view you want to expose. The Interface view also can have in- and outbound plugs.
Lets say WD A has Component usage to WD B. You can navigate from a view in WD A to the Interface View of WD B. This interface view can also have a outbound plug.
Because all this stuff is visual it is a bit awkward to explain. Maybe this helps already otherwise I will provide more information.
