Layout & Frames

I'm doing some web pages in DW. I've used frames in one page
that had a graphic. I have two columns in the first row and one
column in the second row.. The layout in DW is perfect. The first
row has text in the first column and a 320 X 240 graphic. I've set
the text frame to a height of 240 and the height of the graphic
frame to 240. I've set the width to 480 on the text frame and the
width of the graphic frame to 320. I'm trying to get the online to
look like the layout.
It didn't work - the text pushed the frame down so that the
graphic was centered - there was about an inch of space above the
graphic and about an inch below the graphic. Nothing I do corrects
the problem.
I downloaded a trial of GoLive - opened the same page in GL,
saved it, uploaded and it was almost perfect.
I've purchased DW, so I don't want to buy GL. Do any of you
know how to get DW to be precise?
Thanks and Merry Christmas to all.
Tim

grandfather and grandson fishing. It is a time to bond, relax and
fish. My grandson Eric is 12 years old and is for sure my little
fishing buddy. When I was a child, neither my father nor
grandfathers ever did much of anything with me. When my daughter
and her family moved to Florida two years ago, I made a promise
that I would not be an absentee grandfather. <br>
<br>
</font><font size="2" face="Arial, Helvetica,
sans-serif">Eric and I went bass fishing at a small lake near
where we live. Before long, Eric had snagged a bread bag full of
water. At that very moment, I noticed a slight movement in the
water. I yelled, "Eric, back up." Before he could
move, the bag fell off his hook and hit the water. A big gator
jumped to get the bag. Eric dropped his rod and ran as hard as he
could run. When he got to the road, he just kept right on
running</font>.<font size="2"> <br>

<td colspan="2"><p align="justify"><font
size="2" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">We gathered the
gear and went home. That was all the fishing he wanted to do for
that day. My daughter, Jennifer, Eric's mother threw a fit.
"You took my son to a lake with gators?" I
replied, "you are in Florida, lakes have gators and oceans
have sharks." We were grounded from fishing until Eric's
parents realized that I was watching him carefully and that he
wasn't in real danger, as I was close enough to pull him from any
harm.</font></p>
<p align="justify"><font size="2" face="Arial,
Helvetica, sans-serif">Two days later, I went back to the lake.
The gator was in the middle of the lake. As soon as he saw me, he
swam right up to where I was standing. Someone had fed the gator. I
called Florida Wildlife Commission, the gator had to be removed
because he had lost his fear of humans. Its a shame that people
won't follow common sense rules.</font></p>
<p align="justify"><font size="2" face="Arial,
Helvetica, sans-serif">One day, we went to the Skyway Bridge to
fish. It was cold and rainy. The fish were not biting. We fished
for two hours without one nibble. It started to rain so I asked him
if he was ready to go. He asked me if we could stay and wait out
the rain. It took an hour for the rain to stop. We fished for two
more hours and never got one bite. On the way home, I said,
"I wish we could have caught some fish." Eric
replied, "Papa, its the sport that counts." That
might be good enough for him but I want some fish.
</font></p>
<p align="justify"><font size="2" face="Arial,
Helvetica, sans-serif">Recently, we went wade fishing near the
Gandy Bridge. The fishing was good if you like to catch catfish.
The water was chilly for a June day. I caught Eric when he wasn't
looking and splashed cold water all over his little bare back. He
screamed and laughed hard. A few minutes later, he had a bucket of
water ready to dump on Papa's back. He wasn't fast enough.
</font></p>
<p align="justify"><font size="2" face="Arial,
Helvetica, sans-serif">The special part of that day came later.
I looked over at that little guy and the look on his face was
amazing. His face showed pure contentment. He appeared to be the
happiest boy on earth. There is nothing like spending time with a
child fishing. </font></p>
<p><font size="2" face="Arial, Helvetica,

'em fishing! You will never regret the time you
spend.</font></p>

Report multiple layout

hi all,
i just want to know how to create multiple layout.
based on the parameter selected i should run the particular layout.
how to do it.
any one help
regards
Rajesh

Hi Rajesh,
create your 2 layouts in the same report und surround each of the two layouts with a frame. Connect the upper left edges of the frames with an anchor, which has the properties collapsing activated. The write for layout/frame 1 a format-trigger:
IF :param_layout = 'A' then RETURN TRUE; ELSE RETURN FALSE; END IF;
and for layout/frame 2 a format trigger
IF :param_layout = 'B' then RETURN TRUE; ELSE RETURN FALSE; END IF;
So only one of the layouts is used and Layout 2 is because of the collabsing anchor at the same position as Layout 1
Regards
Rainer

Is there any simple layout manager?

One that just put things where I wanted them without changing their location?
I've set the x and y for each component, why changing it?
I've tried setting the layout manager to null but then it just doesn't display nothing...

> But when I did that, nothing displayed even though
I've set the location and size of each component.
You can do it like this:import javax.swing.*;
public class HelloWorldSwing {
    private static void createAndShowGUI() {
        JFrame frame = new JFrame("null layout");
        frame.setSize(150,150);
        frame.setLayout(null);
        frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        JLabel label = new JLabel("Testing 1, 2...");
        label.setBounds(30,20,100,25);
        /* setBounds(30,20,100,25) =

        |                                   | 25
        |                                   v
        |
        frame.getContentPane().add(label);
        frame.setVisible(true);
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        javax.swing.SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
            public void run() {
                createAndShowGUI();
}But it's better to use a layout manager. This is a good tutorial:

Record not inserting into the table through Forms 10g

Hi all,
I have created a form in 10g(10.1.2.0.2) based on just one table that has 4 columns(col1, col2, col3, col4).
Here col1, col2 and col3 are VARCHAR2 and col4 is date and all the columns are not null columns(There are no primary and foriegn key constrains, which means duplicates are allowed).
My form contains 2 blocks where block 1 has one text item (col1) and 3 buttons (Delete, Save, Exit).
And block2 is a database block and has col2,col3,col4 which are in tabluar layout frame displaying 10 records.
When the form is opened the cursor has to be in block1.col1 for querrying. Here i enter a value in col1, and then when I click on col2 in the block2, then I put execute_query in new_block_instance of block2, which displays the records.
The block2 properties are not updatable, insertable and query is allowed.
Everything is working good until here. But here in the block2 when I want to insert another record into the table, by navigating all the way down to the last empty record and entering the new values for col2, col3 and col4 And then Ctrl+S will display the message "*FRM-40400: Transaction complete: 1 record applied and saved.*" But actually the record is not inserted into the table.
I also disabled the col4 by setting the Enabled property to No, since while inserting new record the date have to be populated into it and it shouldnt be changed by the user. And im populating the sysdate into the new record by setting Intial Value property to *$$DATE$$*.
And another requirement which I could not work arround here is that, the col3 also should be populated with the username of the user while inserting.
please help me...

Hi Sarah,
I do not want to update the existing record. So I kept Udate Allowed to No in property palette for the items in block2.
Do I have to do this property at block level also?
I'm inserting a new record here.

I want to adjust the column width of "From", "Subject" and "Date". in the AT&T email within Firefox browser

My computer runs under Windows Vista Home Premium, and Firefox browser 3.6.13. Within the Firefox browser, it shows an AT&T email window (www.sbc.yahoo.com). There are several columns such as subject, date, etc. I was able to adjust such column width before. Now I cannot do it. (Also I can adjust column width if I run in the Internet Explorer. I have another computer running Window 7 professional, same set up with Fire Fox and AT&T email, I am able to adjust the column width so I can show the full subject line.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
You can also try to set the pref layout.frames.force_resizability to true on the about:config page.

Change background color for JFrame

hi,
i want to change background color of JFrame. In my application i didn't create any panels.
my code like this,
Frame myFrame = new JFrame ( " Grid Layout Frame ");
myFrame.setSize(500,500);
myFrame.getContentPane().setBackground(Color.white);
myFrame.setVisible(true);thanks,
Balaji

You don't get a white frame when you run this program?import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class junk
     public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception
          JFrame f = new JFrame("Hello");
          f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
          f.setSize(500,500);
          f.getContentPane().setBackground(Color.white);
          f.setVisible(true);

Thread problem in swing application?

Hi,
I have a doubt in GridLayout and Threads. I�m doing one small application which is accepting images and Alphabets. Actually, What I�m doing running images and alphabets(combinedly) in frequent intervals. For this I used GridLayout and Thread concept. But I have a problem in paint method. How to call the GridLayout frequently. In GridLayout , I�m putting Images and alphabets. Acutually in paint method , there are only drawString or drawImage or other methods. Is it possible to call my layout. Is so, can anybody help me in this regard. Is there any way to do it . please suggest me.
Thanks,

Photos Are Too Big

Good morning.
I've just started exploring the possibility of making a photo album in iPhoto. When I place a photo on a full page, the photos are too big for the 'frame'- that is, the frame crops part of my photos off. I have tried using the resizing tool but find that the photos are already resized to their smallest.
Is there another way to deal with this problem?
Thanks,
BurntMonkey

John:
iPhoto puts up that warning when the resolution of the image falls below 180 dpi. A lot would depend on how far it falls below. They will not appear as good as they do on screen but that goes for all of the photos. The monitor display usually has more contrast and snap than the printed version. But that's not to mean the printed version doesn't or won't look good.
You can approximate the dpi of the photo for the frame that's giving the warning. The pages are 8.5 x 11. Estimate the size of the frame and divide the frame's dimension into the pictures corresponding pixel dimension.
What are the pixel dimensions of a typical photo that's giving you the warning sign and what page layout/frame are the in?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
NOTE: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.

Sockets problem HELP!!

I am trying to create a peer-to-peer messager using Sockets. I have a Listener class that listens for connections and accepts them and creates a new socket for each connection and also calls a ChatHandler which is passed the new socket. Exept the StartConv class which connects to the listener class initially never finds out about the new Socket and thinks it is still connected to the listener port :(( Here is some of the code i am trying to use for each of the classes:-
Listener

    try{
    System.out.println("Listening...");
         while (true) {
         System.out.println("Listening...11");
         Socket client = server.accept ();
         System.out.println ("Accepted from " + client.getInetAddress ());
         ChatHandler handler = new ChatHandler (client);
         handler.start ();
}catch (IOException ex){
System.out.println("Error in listener"+ex);

It says at the top :) think i posted too much code but that way everyone knows exactly what is happening. Cant get the StartConv class to commmunicate with the ChatHandler basically

Writing and loading Object

Hello, I've been trying to save and load back in an Object File by using Object Serialization and ObjectOutputStream and ObjectInputStream. Everything works without casting any exceptions except when I load the fiel back in, it is null. I don't know why. I am actually trying to load a certain Class (which I named SaveGUI) that I have created and that contains many different Objects within itself and they are all Serializable. Now, to use the method readObject(), I guess the object has to be an instance of class Object so I tried extending SaveGUI to Object, It still didn't work.
Can anyone give me some hints on what the problem could be?
This is some of the code:
FileDialog d = new FileDialog(GUI.this, "Save GUI State", FileDialog.SAVE);
d.show(); // display the dialog and block until answered
String filename = d.getFile(); // Get the user's response
if (filename != null) { // If user didn't click "Cancel."
try {
// Create the necessary output streams to save the Object.
File f = new File(d.getDirectory(), filename); // Create a file object
ObjectOutputStream out = new ObjectOutputStream(
new java.util.zip.GZIPOutputStream(
new FileOutputStream(f))); // Save objects
out.writeObject((SaveGUI)saveGUI); // Write the entire Object.
out.flush(); // Always flush the output.
out.close(); // And close the stream.
// Print out exceptions.
catch (IOException ioe) { System.out.println("I/O Exception in file writing: "+ioe); }
// Open up a dialog for the user to choose the file
FileDialog d = new FileDialog(GUI.this, "Load a Saved GUI State", FileDialog.LOAD);
d.show(); // display the dialog and block until answered
String filename = d.getFile(); // Get the user's response
if (filename != null || (filename.length() != 0)) { // If user didn't click "Cancel."
try {
// Create the necessary input streams to load the GUI.
File f = new File(d.getDirectory(), filename); // Create a File object
ObjectInputStream in = new ObjectInputStream(
new java.util.zip.GZIPInputStream(
new FileInputStream(f))); // Read Object.
SaveGUI obj = (SaveGUI)in.readObject(); // Assign Object.
//in.close(); // And close the stream.
// Print out exceptions.
catch (IOException ioe) { System.out.println("I/O Exception in file loading: "+ioe); }
public class SaveGUI extends java.lang.Object implements java.io.Serializable {
public SaveGUI() {}
Vector xAxisDataTable = new Vector(); // For each Frame there is a x-Axis DataTable
Vector yAxisDataTable = new Vector(); // for each x-Axis column there is a y-Axis DataTable
Vector titlexAxis = new Vector(); // The title of the xAxis (Vector of Strings)
Vector titleyAxis = new Vector(); // (Vector of Strings)
Vector plotsRecord = new Vector(); // Plotting Records of columns in x-Axis List (PlotRecord-s)
Vector plotsOptions = new Vector(); // Plotting Options, for each layout frame (PlotOptionsFrame)
}

I solved it, don't worry
