"Loaded Divs" copy block, photo, UL Show/Hide

Hello,
I know that the "Show/Hide" behavior allows one to
reveal/hide photos in a div. Like the old "Frames" I want to have 5
links in a left col. When one clicks one, the right larger col.
loads a .div. But, it has a copy block, bullet copy, photo, logo,
etc.
Is this possible?
Thanks.
Greg

Sure. It can. The trick will be to grab the required HTML for
each of
those configurations to paste into the dialog for the
behavior application
on each button. I usually do this by creating a dummy page
with the desired
div/image/ul, etc., already in place, and then just
copy/paste the HTML.

  • Home Page loads slowly because of too many show/hide images.

    I was asked to create a home page that displayed the correct product image in the background as you mouse over the menu item in the product portfolio navigation.  I built the page using quite a few show/hide behaviors displaying the correct image.  Now I have a HUGE home page that loads very slowly. Is there a better way to accomplish the same affect or do I need to scrap this idea and keep the images on the individual pages?
    You can see this page here:  http://www.keystonewalls.com
    (mouseover the PRODUCT PORTFOLIO button and scroll down the menu to see the affect)
    The client loves the fact that you don't have to leave the home page to get a good idea of what each product looks like but they aren't happy with how long it takes to load.
    Help!

    Yup.  You've got some trimming to do. 
    http://www.websiteoptimization.com/services/analyze/
    On a T1 connection (1.41 MB/sec) your home page takes 18.50 seconds to load.  For dial-ups it's a very painful 395 seconds. 
    Page size:  1,943,483 bytes.   Should be closer to 200 KB.
    HTTP server requests: 41.  This should be around 10.

  • CTrying to figure out why I can't load or copy any photo or video files from my laptop to my IPhone. I have a 3gs and am using the latest verson

    My laptop uses Windows 7 and, on several occasions, I've tried to copy photos and videos to my IPhone so I can take them with me but nothing seems to work. I always get a message saying that the devise is no longer connected or failed to work. This applies to all functions of copy/paste or drag and drop. I was told that it had something to do with the way I was set up with regard to syncing but I'm not able to find anything that changes it. I can copy files to my Cloud Drive on the computer but nothing ever transfers in from my phone either. What's up?

    What is selected under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes?
    If the videos are in an iPhone compatible format and are in a folder of photos selected to be transferred to your iPhone under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes, do you also have Include Videos selected under the Photos tab?
    Or if the videos are in an iPhone compatible format, they need to be in your iTunes library and can be selected under the Movies tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes to be transferred to your iPhone.

  • My iphoto will not load, all it does when i open it is just show a blank iphoto and won't load any of my photos that were already in there.

    My iphoto will not load, all it does when i open it is just show a blank iphoto and won't load any of my photos that were already in there. Any way to fix it ?

    Remember: we cannot see your machine. There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 8 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS.  So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Basic things like :
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For instance: 'iPhoto won't export' is best explained by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
    - History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted?
    - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    - Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
    Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

    after making the photo slide show, i clicked share>export movie.  after which i burned using toast. the file became a .mov.  i tried playing it in my mac and it worked. my fear now is will it also play in a regular dvd?... i read from google that mov files won't run in dvd players.  what format should i convert it to so it'll play in a dvd player.  can you suggest a faster way i can burn my projects for it takes me almost an hour to export.  im going to make 28 slideshows for my kids in school. *=( if i need to do this process 28 times, i may not be able to finish it on time.  please suggest a software or an alternative as to how i should do this... m more comfortable using imovie than iphoto.  thanks and i hope to hear from someone soon *=j

    Thank you QuickTimeKirk...used toast to burn project... my project was in .mov, i tried to play it a dvd player, it did play... will try again tomorrow using another dvd player just to be sure it'll will really work with dvd players.  thank you again for your reply *=)

    The iPhone icon appears in the import window, but the images won't show up in the loading window
    Do your images show, if you disable the option "Do not import duplicates"? If yes, then check, if the images have already been imported, eg. using Photo Stream, if you are using Aperture 3.3 or later.

    Hi there!
    How could I automatically show/hide the ScrollBar attached to

    Many thanks in advance for your help!
    Regards,

    user5564103 ,
    Make the 1st select list visible as normal. For all others, create a div around each using the header/footer section of each item. Make sure to give the created divs a "style=display:none;" attribute.
    Create a JavaScript method that will change the display property of the div in the 2nd select list from none to block and call the JS method with an onchange event of the 1st select list. If you're familiar with JQuery, then it could used to do the same thing.
    Rinse and repeat for the rest of the select lists.
    Make sense?
    Hope this helps...

  • Robo v9 Show/Hide without Twisties - One button no longer working

    Hey there, as stated I am using Robo v9 with Show/Hide without Twisties (One button) with javascipts.  We have most of our images using DHTML drop-downs and when folks click on "Show All Images" on the page, the GIF changes to "Hide All Images" and all drop-downs (our images) and expanding text are diaplayed.
    It had been working all the time, but now it only works when I right click the topic in the TOC and choose "Edit Topic", then while in the Edit Window (Display view), when I do a View (Ctrl-W) and it displays the page within RoboHelp..I can click the "Show All Images" and it works like it always had.  BUT, if that page is not in the Edit Window, and I right click "Preview Topic", the click "Show All Images" (or on the DHTML dropdown itself) it will NOT show the images, *but the GIF image does properly toggle to "Hide All Images" (and if I do again, then it properly toggles to the "Show All Images" GIF, if I do it again), but now NO images are getting displayed for some reason.  It also NEVER works properly when I publish to our website (even when clicking the DHTML dropdown itself), but the GIF images toggle properly.
    If I right click and choose "Preview Topic" and click "View With" and use Internet Explorer 8 it still never works anymore, unless the topic is in the Edit Window (Display View), so I know the issue is not on the server.  It stops working after I do a generate and run on my pc.  Also when I view it IE8 within Robo (and Allow the Blocked Content to run the scripts), many instances of the same error is shown as:
    Message: Access is denied. 
    Line: 2646
    Char: 3
    Code: 0
    URI: file:///D:/Users/_RBH9_TPO-Generate/v9-testing/ehlpdhtm.js
    ...but I *do* have access to the folder system, but in checking the coding of the ehlpdhtm.js, that area show, where I believe line 2646, character 3 starts at the "values = getAttribute(element, prop );" line below...but maybe something does not exist:
    ==
      //End HTML code invoked function
    function InitEffect( element, prop )
    var values = null;
    if( getAttribute(element,prop)) 
      values = getAttribute(element, prop );
    else if( getAttribute( element, "currentStyle" )  && element.currentStyle.getAttribute)
      values = element.currentStyle.getAttribute( prop );
    else  if (element.style.getAttribute)
      values = element.style.getAttribute( prop );
    if( !values )
      return;

    I have a much older backup when restored, it all works properly again in all cases, but I have done so much work since then that I think would need to be manually redone.  I have played with keeping those some javascipts alone (in case I changed something) and updated the rest of the data files I had added, deleted the .CPD file, but it somehow stops working again, probably with some updated file.  I am not sure what specific files could be causing the negative impact that is preventing it from working.  Maybe if I knew what files could impact, I couldrestore those from my old backup.  The newer backups when restored do not work properly, so there was a point in time where something changed and is causing this.
    All prior versions of RoboHelp (v7 and v8) have always worked and still do.  I am using v9.0.1.262, as the latest version has not yet been allowed on our pcs (per security), but since my earlier backup works, I thought it may not be the issue, but wanted to tell you anyway.  ;->
    Any ideas on how I should proceed?  What files may have impact to cause it not to work anymore?  The showhide.js is the only .js to show up as a baggage file.  Also, the DHTML line does exits in each html page's code, as we are still using Robo v7 as the production software and the Show/Hide always works, and I copy them into the respective Robo v9 folders (and if new, then I copy them, then import them), otherwise the newer v7 updated pages are copied over the older v9 html files while RoboHelp is closed.
    Thanks in advance for any info you can provide!

    I may have figured out what to fix to get v9 back to working on the Show/Hide button, but not the "why?" .
    It looks to all be dealing with the Robo automatic html coding of where to locate the .js file(s)...here is a quick overview of this issue and what I did.  When I view the non-working pages within Internet Explorer 8 within Robo (and Allow the Blocked Content to run the scripts), I saw many instances of the same error is shown as this in the log, which implied since I *do* have access rights, maybe the file was just not being found.
    Message: Access is denied.

    URI: file:///D:/Users/_RBH9_TPO-Generate/v9-testing/ehlpdhtm.js
    OK, here are my findings.  EXAMPLE #1 and EXAMPLE #2 below are excerpts of the same file.  EXAMPLE #1 is from Robo v7 and is copied to the v9 folder after it was updated so our soon to be "production" webhelp will be from Robo v9 (instead of making the same manual updates in Robo v9 as in Robo v7, I copy the updated the .html file to the Robo v9 file system).  Note the direction of the directory slashes of the java scripts listed below, as they are all DOS type slashes (back slashes), EXCEPT for ehlpdhtm.js as it is the ONLY one using UNIX (forward) slashes.
    EXAMPLE #1 (from Robo v7)
    ==
    <link rel="StyleSheet" href="..\..\sty-std-topic.css">
    <script type="text/javascript" language=JavaScript x-save-method=compute-relative
    src="..\..\showhide.js"></script>
    </head>
    <body>
    <robohelp><script type="text/javascript" language=JavaScript1.2 src="../../ehlpdhtm.js"
    x-save-method=compute-relative></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" language=JavaScript1.2>
    <!--

    //-->
    </script>
    ==
    EXAMPLE #2(from Robo v9)
    This is from the restored backup of the Robo v9 files that always work when I restore them, and note they are ALL UNIX (forward) slashes.  These backup files were generated from Importing/Upgrading a copy of the Robo v7 files into Robo v9.
    ++
    <title>[Endpoint Protection] Symantec Overview</title>
    <link rel="StyleSheet" href="../../sty-std-topic.css" type="text/css" />
    <script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript" src="../../showhide.js">
    </script>
    </head>
    <body>
    <?rh-script_start ?><script src="../../ehlpdhtm.js" type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2">
    </script><?rh-script_end ?>
    ++
    Additional info: The following is from another file from the Robo v9 backup files that always WORK and once again they are ALL UNIX (forward) slashes. 
    ~~
    <link rel="StyleSheet" href="../../sty-std-topic.css" type="text/css" />
    <script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript" src="../../showhide.js">
    </script>
    </head>
    <body>
    <?rh-script_start ?><script src="../../ehlpdhtm.js" type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript1.2">
    </script><?rh-script_end ?>
    ~~
    BUT since all .js files are referenced in EXAMPLE #1 have DOS slashes (back slashes), EXCEPT for the ehlpdhtm.js, I decided to change the line in ehlpdhtm.js FROM src="../../ehlpdhtm.js" TO src="..\..\ehlpdhtm.js" and IT (this one page) BEGAN WORKING AGAIN after I published.  So having all DOS back slashes DOES work in Robo v9!!!!  BUT it appears that Robo v9 only generates new pages using UNIX (forward) slashes in ALL coding.  I've read about issues like this occurring with the FireFox browser, but we only use IE8, and have not read anything like this related to IE8 issues. 
    So if all UNIX forward slashes and all DOS back slashes can work in Robo v9 in finding and using ehlpdhtm.js, (the Show/Hide buttons function properly) why is this problem existing in Robo v9 when there are mixed "slashes" (using forward and backward)?  ...and the mixed slashes ALWAYS works in Robo v7!  They do not have to all be in the same direction in Robo v7 as it appears to have to be in the newer/more advanced Robo v9.  Why does it matter that all slashes need to be all the same direction, if Robo v9 CAN actually read and figure out the DOS back slashes (formatted by Robo v7 creation) and actually generates UNIX forward slashes for the .js files in new Robo v9 output within the .html?
    More importantly will I have to always do a Global search and replace in Robo v9 to change the direction of the "back slashes" when I copy updated Robo v7 .html files into the Robo v9 folders (instead of manually reworking each change), while in transition from v7 to v9?
    Thanks in advance any information, recommendations, and feedback as your time is greatly appreciated!

  • Show-Hide element in Dreamweaver CS5

    Please can you tell me why when I validate a web page I get the following error when using the Show-Hide behaviour.  The error is only reported for the first use of the feature and no of the others.  I don't understand.
    Line 239,         Column 235:     there is no attribute "onload"…HideLayers('drive','','hide')" onload="MM_showHideLayers('drive','','hide')" /…

    You have used the attribute named above in your document, but the       document type you are using does not support that attribute for this       element. This error is often caused by incorrect use of the "Strict"       document type with a document that uses frames (e.g. you must use       the "Transitional" document type to get the "target" attribute), or       by using vendor proprietary extensions such as "marginheight" (this       is usually fixed by using CSS to achieve the desired effect instead).
    This error may also result if the element itself is not supported in       the document type you are using, as an undefined element will have no       supported attributes; in this case, see the element-undefined error       message for further information.
    How to fix: check the spelling and case of the element and attribute,        (Remember XHTML is all lower-case) and/or        check that they are both allowed in the chosen document type, and/or       use CSS instead of this attribute. If you received this error when using the        <embed> element to incorporate flash media in a Web page, see the        FAQ item on valid flash.
    Below is a copy of the relevant code -The code in bold is the line causing the error.  You will notice I have used it more than once, but I didn't get any other error messages.  Please help.

  • When I go to Preview to view a photo it shows up for less than a second then disappears and just leaves a gray box where the photo should be. iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2014). I need Preview for work.

    After the OS X Yosemite 10.10.3 update When I go to use Preview to view a photo it shows up for less than a second then disappears and just leaves a gray box where the photo should be. iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Late 2014). I need Preview for work.

    1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
    The test works on OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later. I don't recommend running it on older versions of OS X. It will do no harm, but it won't do much good either.
    Don't be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
    2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
    You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
    In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
    You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of it have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message. See, for example, this discussion.
    Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
    4. Here's a general summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
    ☞ Copy a particular line of text to the Clipboard.
    ☞ Paste into the window of another application.
    ☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
    ☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
    These are not specific instructions; just an overview. The details are in parts 7 and 8 of this comment. The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time.
    5. Try to test under conditions that reproduce the problem, as far as possible. For example, if the computer is sometimes, but not always, slow, run the test during a slowdown.
    You may have started up in "safe" mode. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
    6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
    7. Load this linked web page (on the website "Pastebin.") The title of the page is "Diagnostic Test." Below the title is a text box headed by three small icons. The one on the right represents a clipboard. Click that icon to select the text, then copy it to the Clipboard on your computer by pressing the key combination command-C.
    If the text doesn't highlight when you click the icon, select it by triple-clicking anywhere inside the box. Don't select the whole page, just the text in the box.
    8. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
    Click anywhere in the Terminal window to activate it. Paste from the Clipboard into the window by pressing command-V, then press return. The text you pasted should vanish immediately.
    9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
    exec bash
    and press return. Then paste the script again.
    10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, just press return three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
    If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
    11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, a series of lines will appear in the Terminal window like this:
    [Process started]
            Part 1 of 8 done at … sec
            Part 8 of 8 done at … sec
            The test results are on the Clipboard.
            Please close this window.
    [Process completed]
    The intervals between parts won't be exactly equal, but they give a rough indication of progress. The total number of parts may be different from what's shown here.
    Wait for the final message "Process completed" to appear. If you don't see it within about ten minutes, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, press the key combination control-C or command-period to stop it and go to the next step. You'll have incomplete results, but still something.
    12. When the test is complete, or if you stopped it because it was taking too long, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
    At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
    If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
    13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
    14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak for themselves, not for me. The test itself is harmless, but whatever else you're told to do may not be. For others who choose to run it, I don't recommend that you post the test results on this website unless I asked you to.

  • IPhoto can not find the original photo, does iPhoto copy the photo or just make a thumbnail?

    Hi,
    I'm scanning and putting all of my (paper) photos into my computer and then into iPhoto, tagging them, and doing all the time consuming things necessary to build a good library. 
    I've tried to open a few of the events and look at the photos I put in but I get an error that iPhoto can not find the original photo.  When I put a photo into iPhoto does the program only make a thumbnail copy with a link to the original, or does it actually copy the photo into the library?  I'm thinking the former.  Because I have a Time Machine backup, a hard copy, and (presumably) a copy in iPhoto, I have been deleting the photos AFTER putting them into iPhoto.  Do I need to keep the photos I put in iPhoto on my computer?  Will I need to go into TM and restore them?  Will I loose the information like Faces, Places, Keywords, if I do?
    Thank you much,
    I'm working with 9.1.2

    I have exactly the same problem except my photo is named "L1000093.jpg" and it's been there for a year now, but suddenly, when I wanted to view it in it's album, ("Favorite" which has been there for a year too), it says "The photo P1010311.jpg cannot be found"!!!  What the heck is going on?  So I canceled, went back to the album, clicked on L1000093, clicked "show event", went over to Event, clicked "reveal in finder" and there it is, iPhoto Library/Master/blah blah blah... L1000093.jpg!
    Where the hack did that P1010311.jpg came from?  Sure I have that photo, but it's in a completely different event and a different album!  What's is iPhoto 11 / Lion / iTunes 10.5.3(3) up to?
    So I threw L1000093jpg into the trash, went into Lightroom, find the original, re-export it, load it again into iPhoto, added it again to the album (favorite), and guess what?  I just did all those and the same "The bloody photo cannot be found" message popped up and when I go to finder, there it is.
    This is a bug.  It's been a bug since 2006 as far as I can remember.  And Apple had never done a complete fix.  It's an if thing!
    And the most frustrating part:  Althought they call this an Apple forum and you have to sign in to participate, I have never seen one Apple software guy here saying "this is what to do", just us victims helping each other and many non-Apple folks guessing to the best of their ability to comfort us.
    Oh, toys are toys.  I sometimes wonder if Steve had fought so hard yet the cancer in Apple actually won! 

  • By right clicking on something, I accidentally blocked photos at a website--I want them back but can't figure out how to do it

    By right clicking on something, I accidentally blocked photos at a website-- want them back but can't figure out how to do it
    == This happened ==
    Not sure how often
    == I right clicked on block images at a site or something like that.

    Check the image exceptions: Tools > Options > Content: Load Images: Exceptions - See [[Options window - Content panel]]
    A way to see which images are blocked is to click the favicon (''Site Identification'' icon) on the left side of the location bar and click the "More Information" button.
    This will open the Security tab of the ''Page Info'' window (also accessible via Tools > Page Info).
    Go to the ''Media'' tab of that Page Info window.
    Select the first image and scroll down though the list with the Down arrow.
    If an image in the list is grayed and there is a check-mark in the box ''Block Images from...'' then remove that mark to unblock the images from that domain.
