Layout moves when editing

Hi everyone,
I'm new to DW and know nothing about html coding or css. Please bare iwth me. I'm having a problem with the layout. I used a template from photoshop that I sliced and imported into dreamweaver. The layout looks good, but when I add content or change headers all the pictures in my template moves around. Is there a way to make it so that my template doesn't not move when I'm adding content?

Do let Photoshop or any Graphics build your HTML code for you. Use graphics apps for images only. Use DW to build your code. See the following Tutorials.

Cursor movement when editing suggestion for future

It would be nice if there was a way to move cursor over left or right when editing, trying to use your fingernail to get to the right spot takes more effort than it's worth

Tell Apple then http://www.apple.com/feedback/
Personally I've had no difficulty as I tend to 'roll' my fingertip for finer movement rather than slide it.

Page layout breaks when Editing page

I've created a site for a client who wants to use Contribute
to edit it. The site wasn't built with Dreamweaver (hand-coded).
Pages look fine when they're loaded in the Contribute window, but
when he goes to Edit the page, the layout breaks. it's a table-less
CSS-based layout with some includes, but it looks fine when
initially loaded. After editing & publishing, the page
generally looks fine again. This would only be a minor annoyance,
but sometimes there are blocks of text that, when Editing, suddenly
seem to have a near-zero line spacing....so he can't see what he's
trying to edit. Is there a setting I'm missing somewhere?
thanks,
benjy

Check out this thread, maybe you can handcode editable
regions.

Symbol editing and orientation - symbol moves when edited

This issue has slowed down my Illustrator work for a while, so I thought I'd ask for advice.
I have a symbol in my document – for example, a set of tabs for a website interface.
When I make any changes to a symbol that result in new dimensions (changing the height of the tabs from 40px to 50px), this results in all instances of that symbol moving around on the canvas. In this example, the symbol would move up by 5px (half of the difference between the old and new heights). I then have to move each instance of that symbol back into its intended place, which is time-consuming.
I wondered if the "Flash registration" orientation widget that shows up in the symbol creation dialog box would force the symbol to align to a certain location, but it seems to have no effect on the symbol inside of Illustrator. The symbol stays permanently aligned to its original centerpoint, regardless of any subsequent changes, and can't be made to align to anywhere other than that centerpoint. It would be really useful to force alignment to the top left, for example.
Any suggestions?

You do realize, don't you, that after editing the Symbol, you can...:
Symbol palette: Select the Symbol you edited.
Symbol palette flyout menu: Select All Instances.
DoubleClick the black pointer tool. Enter move distances.
...thereby repositioning all Instances in one move?

ITunes 7 Destroying my Movies when editing artwork

A few weeks back i began importing my DVD collection to my new iMac, using Visual Hub to take DVD sources (video_ts folders) and converting them to H.264 mp4 files.
I had all of these converted movies (about 30 of them) in my ~/Movies folder, when it dawned on me that I could use iTunes 7 to have a nicer way to look at my movie collection and still be able to browse the movies via Front Row.
The problem started when I tried setting custom art for each movie, once it was imported into iTunes. Apparently, it's not as easy as copy and pasting artwork into the movie's Artwork tab in Get Info in iTunes (for some ungodly reason.)
What happened was deleting the current art, and then hitting Ok would completely hang my entire system. I couldn't even move the mouse. I had to hold the power button down for 6 seconds for it to shut off and then reboot. This happened about 5 times before I was convinced that every time i tried to do this, it would be the same result. Checking out Console.app, i tried to find something telling from System.log and Console.log, and i thought i had found something that pointed to bad ram. However, a thorough 3 pass test with memtest eased those concerns, and the problem points back to iTunes.
If i go into iTunes and select a movie I imported, go to its Artwork tab in Get Info, and delete the current artwork, the movie becomes a full length "movie" of just a white screen and no sound. I cannot for the life of me figure out why deleting artwork consistently (three separate movie files) ruins my movie files.
If i open the files in Quicktime, it's the same thing. But if i look up the movie's properties, it still says i have an audio and video track at the expected bit rate...so i'm not really sure, maybe i can fix these videos as it seems the video is just being masked by an all white screen.
So my question is three-fold:
1) Why does deleting the artwork from a movie in iTunes render the entire movie file useless?
2) Is there a way to fix this?
3) Is there a way to add custom artwork (perhaps the movie's poster art from Wikipedia) to a movie file in iTunes without it destroying my movie?
Please help!
I should mention that i tried redoing the artwork on a brand new OS X user, and got the same results...a white-screened movie with no sound.
MacOS X 10.4.8
iTunes 7.0.2
2.33 GHz iMac C2D, 2GB ram

this is EXACTLY what i am experiencing right now, please HELLLLLP!!

Query Print Layout Designer: no "save" option when editing report

No "save" option when editing report, only "save as" in 2007 A PL30

Yes you are all correct guys, but i'm aware that i can't edit the system report.
What I did is i assigned a template for my query, then the system will automatically assign a template with the same name as my query. but the problem is when i open the layout, and make any changes, save button is not enabled, the system requires me to "save as". I dont encounter this problem in other version, but only in 2007a.

That's what APDivs do. This is the single most common problem new people have with web page layouts. DO NOT use positioning. You don't need it. Start over. Learn to use CSS floats, margins and padding to align elements.

How to get clips to appear in good quality when editing?

I worked with PE over a decade ago when I had a PC. In 2008 I migrated to Apple -- specifcally desktop Intel duo-processor Mac, OS X Snow Lion 10.6.8. So regretably I was forced to leave PE behind and begin using Final Cut Express 4.0.1.   Recently I bought a new HD camera so I thought it was a good time to return to PE 11 since the program is now being made for Macs too. (I had missed the Organizer tremendously!) Before working with my new camera however, I could not resist importing some old standard definition clips into a timeline to play around with. Well they look horrible in the viewer -- all pixelated and poor quality! I selected the clips, pressed render and nothing happened. I am used to automatic rendering when editing in FCE so that what you see in the viewer is what you get, of course unless you run into compression issues later on. But I need to see what I'm editing and can't do that with this poor quality. So what is the problem?   The clips are all in .mp4 or .mov format. The .mp4 clips were shot with a Panasonic SDR-H85P in that format and the .mov clip was converted from DV footage on a tape recorded with a Canon ZR900.
Also, I am used to seeing and working on a minutia level -- sometimes frame by frame with a "blade" tool in FCE. I switched to expert view but still can't tell where 1 frame ends and another begins. Is there an easy way to do that?
Thanks!

Thank you for your helpful answer.   Regarding frame view, I found the options you indicated. However, I think my issue has more to do with "timeline view" if you will.   For example, in Final Cut, you could press "option +" several times to "lengthen" the timeline which in turn would "stretch" out each frame to an extent necessary to make really precise edits on a minutia scale. Then in order to "compress" it so you could see the entire timeline on the computer screen, pressing "option -" several times would bring it back down to that size which was handy for seeing exactly where all your other effects on other timelines were arranged. Does that make sense? Is there a way to do that in PE 11?    It's zooming in and out of the timeline essentially in order to see more of the detail while editing.
Regarding the poor quality of playback, I was able to correct the problem by setting the playback settings to "highest." That was a relief.   Also the clip properties did match the project properties, but if I had wanted to change project properties, I don't think I could have because so many of the options remained blanked out or unavailable -- all light in color not allowing me to access them. Don't know what the term for that is but you probably know what I mean. So does that mean that project properties are always automatically determined or must they be preset somehow? Any direction on that issue would be helpfui because I also work with infrared clips a lot from a Bushnell camcorder and often combine those with regular video clips. What is going to happen then?   Again, thanks so much for your help!

Missing "Select a Template" when editing asset?

Okay, I need some input here!
We recently upgraded from Fatwire 7.5 to Webcenter Sites.
I now a have question about something, for which I don't know if it is caused by an error, a misconfiguration, or is just a new feature, in the Webcenter Sites UI for admin and contributor.
Like I would always do in Fatwire, in the admin-interface, I created a new template that applies to a subtype of a specific asset-type.
In the contributor-interface I then created a new asset of that specific asset-type and subtype, and then I want to select a template to render my asset. But when editing the asset, the field "Select a Template" is not present (the drop-down where I usually select a template is missing).
When I "inspect" the asset, I can see that "Template: No template specified", but when I edit the asset the "Select a Template"-field is gone???
Further info:
- No errors is thrown in the log.
- My user has been granted all rights.
- if I inspect an exiting asset, created before the upgrade til Webcenter Sites, the asset will have a rendering template assigned, but when I edit an exciting asset the "Select a Template"-part is missing.
Do you have any inputs to this behavior, what can be wrong?
Edited by: jakobverner on Mar 18, 2013 2:39 PM

Phil, you are a legend!
When I set the Template to "Element is used as a layout", the template does appear as selectable, when editing a asset of the correct type.
The correct answer, and now it works.
Good thing it is backwards compatible, since the exiting assets will have the old rendering template assigned, from before the upgrade to Webcenter Sites.
Thanks!

Alternate layout created when moving pages from one document to another

I'm using CC on Windows 7 - I have 2 documents that I want to merge and make into 1 [I know people will want to know why I would want to do this - each document is the result of a different data merge - data merge can only handle one master page - so I have 2 datamerges - 2 files - and just need to merge the 2 files]
This used to work beautifully in ID 5.5 - now when I use the pages panel to move the pages to the other document - it creates an alternate layout - it is then very difficult for me to interlace alternating pages - - I use dot be able to just move the pages into place - but with eh 2 layouts it is behaving differently and in a way I do not understand. Is there any way I can get around this? or avoid the alternate layout and just have one. The 2 page sizes are identical so it is not a problem of varying size - the paragraph styles are all the same as well. I have tried to delete the alternating style but it will delete all the pages as well.
Thanks

Maybe its time for me to Replace my Preferences, because I also have 8.0.2, and I tried the same thing with two new documents based on the same preset - it still made an alternate layout. When the moved page is placed in the middle of several pages (say - after page 2, of 6 pages) all the pages after the inserted one become part of the new alternate layout. In this example, I had a six-page document, and moved one page of the other identical document to After Page 3 Here's the result

Constant wait cursor when editing with LVOOP

I've searched around several times for any mention of this problem but have never found anything. It continues to drive me crazy so I figure I'd ask about it.
I have a decently sized project utilizing about 25 LVOOP classes in the hierarchy. Whenever I edit a VI within a class, every change I make causes a wait cursor for about a second or 2. This is not a long time, but when I'm in the middle of making something and trying to edit a VI rapidly, it gets extremely annoying to be blocked every couple seconds as I place, move, and wire objects.
I assume this has to do with compiling the VI, any callers, and doing something with the class, but is it common to block input while this takes place? Is there any remedy for this?
I'm developing on a 1 yr old Xeon system with a 10k rpm drive and 12GB of ram, it's definitely not an issue with my computer being slow.
Thanks

I am working on a large LVOOP project with 30 lvclasses. The only time I get the wait cursor is when I edit the type defs and select Apply Changes. I do not notice any delays when editing the VI's whether they are methods or plain old utilities.
In my hierarchy, I created inheritance by having lvlibs which also contain lvclasses. Most methods now access the superclass (well, that's what I call it.. the cluster that contains all classes).
Do you have access to another PC which has LV installed? If so, do you get the same behavior?

Thanks for the pointers folks. Yeah, 1.5GB is pretty poor isn't it? There are other suppliers, but you have to get a their phone line installed to access the internet so it's an £85 setup fee plus a day off work for a guy to come round and drill a hole in your wall before you even get to the monthly costs.
Don't get me wrong though - I'm certainly not an Apple basher, but am equally frustrated with both them and the ISP.
Virgin Media spend all kinds of money advertising their broadband as the fastest in the UK, but don't tell you (up front anyway) that you'll be cut off if you actually try and use it.
Apple on the other hand carry on with their 'it just works' mantra, but with Apple TV this only applies if you meet certain criteria (again, not mentioned up front).
I guess it aint a biggie, as i was gifted my Apple TV, and love all the other stuff it does, but from the number of posts on this forum can see that there's a lot of angry customers out there who want explanations as to why they're having similar problems to me.
Will be very interesting to see if Apple release any kind of software update that turns the flash drive from a buffer to permanent storage, to at least ease some of the pain...

Can't see the anchor point or bezier handles when editing an effect

Please help! This may be an easy fix, but when editing an effect I can no longer see the anchor point, keyframes, or bezier handles on the timeline image. Specifically, I am keyframing the Brush Position in the Write-on effect, and while I can move the brush position, there is no visual cross-hair on the image nor bezier handles to adjust the curve... every adjustment is therefore a guess as to where the adjustment handle is.
Is there a button that toggles anchor point and keyframe path display? Obviously, not being able to see what you're working on is very frustrating. I tried to click the icon to the left of the Write-on effect bar (4-point square with the selection tool in the upper right), but nothing happens. The write-on effect bar is selected and the Brush Position is in keyframe mode.
Thank you in advance for your help.

I worked with this the other day. Bezier handles and the hot spots are tough to see and the write-on effect is a bit wierd for me. You may have more success placing keyframes at beginning and end of a clip as I had trouble keyframing only part of a clip and still controlling the writing effect. You can then slide the keyframes later to change the duration.
Also, you may want to disable all the other effects while editing this one, as the others keep getting selected instead for me and I end up e.g. moving the image instead of the brush.

InDesign becomes unresponsive when editing text off the network. Techs are flummoxed!

Recently my InDesign (CS6 running on Windows 7 Pro 64 bit, 8gb ram) has become almost totally unresponsive when I go to open and edit a file off the company network. Our techs have no idea what is going on and are considering having to re-build my profile as a last resort as we have tried everything else.
A bit more of a descriptoin of the problem: When I go to edit an InDesign file off the server it first takes longer than normal to load but eventually does. You can scroll up and down the pages, move and resize boxes, place new pictures but as soon as you try to do anything text based (edit new text or make a new text box) the whole program freezes to the point you have to task manager out and kill it. It is not a corupt file because if I copy the file directory with all links over on to my computers local hard disk the file works totally fine it is only when editing over the network and when edouble clicking to edit text.
What we have done to try and fix the problem:
Reinstal InDesign - No effect
Cleared the preferences (shift + ctrl + alt + windows key on InDesign startup) - No effect
Our techs have tried editing my profile registry to no avail and we are all compleatly at a loss to what is going on. There are several other instances of the program across the company (mainly versions 5.5 and one other 6) and they all work fine editing files straight off the network.
Anyone have any idea what it could be, such a specific problem being only when it is editing text based areas? The techs dont want to have to re-build my profile as it is a lot of back end work to do to be able to re-instate it straight away.
Many thanks in advance for any insights into the issue

So we have finally fixed the issue and are currently cracking out the bubbly!
It turned out to be the network path shotcut I was using to access the shared drive where I was editing the files from. I work for a restaurant so we have a shared drive where each site can access their files, this is where the food menu files reside and I had created a shortcut that, although accessed the correct area did it using a path which had a double backslash in it.
The true path for the shared drive is \\hm\mydocs\restaurant\menufile.indd and this is the shortcut I was using to open the file up from. For all other files like Word, Excel, even other Adobe programs like PSE10, and Lightroom it seems to work fine. For some reason InDesign does not like this path with the double backslash in. As soon as I changed the shortcut path to just m:\ (the letter of the shared drive on the network) everything was working again and we can all sleep, it was driving us mental. Re-installed windows, InDesign created a new network user profile the works.
I hope this may help someone else in a similar situation in the future

IMovie lags when editing video and audio

I just bought iMovie yesterday from the Mac App Store. I recorded a DJ set and wanted to edit my Video with better quality audio that i recorded seperately. I find that when editing my video and audio (Matching up audio), there is alot of lag. Especially when scrolling through the video to drag the audio to a certain point to get the audio in sync. This is very frustrating and i feel i just got cheated paying for iMovie 11 when it cant even do a simple job. Please help me resolve this. Thank you!

Hi
This is not easy in iMovie'08 or 09 or 11 -
What and how did You record the extra audio ? With what tool ?
To be able to keep audio in sync should be recorded with a device with TimeCode. Else it will be near to impossibly. Or extremely tedious even if FinalCut is used.
I would use FinalCut and keep original audio on track 1 and 2 - and the extra on track 3 and 4. Then Show Wave-form - then see if they can match up to each others.
But doing this in iMovie - is nearly impossibly.
IF AUDIO HAS - TimeCode - and there are no drop outs on video or audio then You should be able to exchange original audio with the extra recorded one in iMovie and even move it frame by frame (1/30 sec or 1/25 sec) - in FinalCut audio can be moved much more exact eg 1/100 sec or within a frame
(my miniDisc recorder - is FAR away from exact enough for this)
Yours Bengt W
