Long list of links

I'm writing a site that has a long list of links.(approx 150)
They are
broadly in 3 categories. What is the best way to display
these without
too much scrolling etc. Currently I have the major links as
icons
surrounding an Iframe containing the rest of the links.
I had thought about dropdown lists, and collapsible lists,
but I wounder
if there is any other way to achieve this. I would prefer not
to have to
use javascript, and my hosting package does not have any
inbuilt
database support.
Hope this makes sense.
James

If it were me, I would probably just create a main page
linking to 3 pages
for the 3 categories, and simply list the links on each page,
with a little
set of navigation links on each page, something like:
LINKS MAIN PAGE | CATEGORY 1 | CATEGORY 2 | CATEGORY 3
I'm kind of Amish about these things, but I think most users
much prefer a
straightforward HTML interface than iframes, etc.

Importing long list of email links

I have a PDF that has a long list of email addresses I need to post.
I'd rather not retype them all or link tham all, so is there a way that I can import this, where the links will remain in place and work?
thanks

Are you absolutely sure you want to post a list of email links?
Email addresses listed this way online are typically harvested by spam bots for inclusion on wonderful discount offers on Viagra and other "male enhancements" among other less than useful email marketing campaigns.
From Acrobat Pro, you should be able to export as HTML. Open that file in DW, then copy the links/text from the generated file into the html of your page. Don't copy the whole page though. If I recall correctly, it produces some iffy code that you wouldn't want.

HT2736 I do not understand why the simplest of tasks do not appear next to each other in a list of links. You would think tht "Reedem" an item would be right next to "Gift" an item, burt for some reason that just does not make sense to Apple.

I never did find the "Gift Certificate" link even thoug support said where it "should" be, and "No" Nowhere near where you would reedem them.

Seems like it should automatically become an elongated column to fit the viewing area with just less words per line. PLEASE fix this so I can enjoy reading with larger type size to accomodate my eyesight.
Double tap the column to make it size to fit. It will make it fit the width but not make the font larger by putting less word on a line.
Hard to make corrections as it is hit or miss to get in between letters in a word.
Tap and hold to get the magnifying glass or better still get the iPad User Guide which is free in iBooks - it has pictures and will save me having to type so many words to try and answer your questions
Is there no way to scroll up or down deleting as you go...so far all I can do is delete one word/line at a time, ie in forwarding e-mail and trying to get rid of the long list of other people's contacts.
Yes, I'm replying to this on my iPad - again, much better described in the User Guide.
Thank you
You're welcome. But please do have a look at the iPad User Guide - it will make things clearer and you may even find something new that you didn't already know.

Howto manage a long list

Hi,
I'm new to Spry (DWCS4) and found that it is exactly what I'm looking for the job that has to be done (not really complicated !).
Using the wizard and a single XML file, DW built for me the master region for a long list of records and also the detail region to display more infos for the selected record. And it is working fine (within a few minutes!)
Now my problem: the list of records is too long (more than 100 records) so I'm looking for a way to display it in shorter chunks.
I've tried to use the SpryPageView library but succeeded only partially: I can jump through the different page views but when I click a record inside a page view, the detail region does not update from itself any more.
Can anybody help me ? - thanks a lot in advance
Here my code:

Have been wrestling with the same problem and thanks to seeing your code I have found errors in mine and have found what should work in yours. So try this
In your code....
<div id="Main_Detail" spry:detailregion="pv1" class="DetailContainer">
    <div class="DetailColumn">{titre}</div>
    <div class="DetailColumn">{cote}</div>
</div>
change the first line to .....
<div id="Main_Detail" spry:detailregion="ds1" class="DetailContainer">
Hope it works for you.

Smart playlist long list of criteria extends off screen - help!

I subscribe to a lot of podcasts and use several smart playlists to group and organize them. When creating criteria for the smart playlist, sometimes the list extends off the bottom of the screen, and unlike the usual Mac interface, no scroll bar appears on the window. This isn't really a problem (I'm able to keep adding to the playlist using the + button near the top of the window) but makes going back and editing or removing items that can't be seen on screen impossible.
Can anyone suggest a solution to "scroll up" on these long lists of smart playlist criteria that disappear off screen?
I thought it might help make sense of my ramblings if I included a link to a screenshot showing what I'm asking about:

I have found the only solution right now is to create sub-smart playlists and then group those in the main playlist.
For example, say for music you have...
Any of the following:
Band is Devo
Band is B-52s
. [more rules]
Band is ELO
Band is Heart
. [more rules]
Band is Bad Religion
Band is NoFX
. [more rules]
that you can take groups of them and put them into their own Smart Playlists like New Wave, Classic Rock, and Punk then your HUGE playlist you can remove those bands and put in to include the New Wave, Classic Rock, and Punk playlists, then add what ever extra rules you have.

Snow Leopard vs Long list of permissions repairs from 10.5.8 update

Hello Everyone,
My question is more of result of technical curiosity than anything else.
This is the first Mac that I have ever owned, therefore it must be said that I have never upgraded the Mac OS X operating system before.
It is well documented here in these forums that the latest update to Leopard (10.5.8) resulted in a rather long list of permissions repairs for many users, including myself. I have read through most of the posts regarding this issue and have even taken the advice which several of you have given to "reapply the combo update twice without doing a permissions repair"
Nevertheless, the list is still there, and according to most users, as well Apple, these can be ignored.
Having said that, I fully intend to upgrade to Snow Leopard when it is released on Friday...But, when I do, should I assume that since the upgrade essentially installs a new operating system, the permissions data base will show up without any permissions errors? Or is the only way to clear the permissions list, a "nuke and pave" (erase and install) which purportedly is not an option on the upgrade disc.
Most of you out there are smarter than I am and much more experienced with the process so any expert advice you may have would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
joe

In all the articles you've read through, it doesn't seem you quite understand the issue.
When they put out 10.5.8, Apple replaced a lot of files with links to the originals. The repair database doesn't know that they are supposed to be links. So, permission repair reports them as different than what it expects. There is nothing wrong. Stop repairing permissions for no reason and they won't bother you.
There is nothing you can do to cause them to go away. When Apple puts out another update, they will hopefully update the database so that it recognizes those links and doesn't report them. However, I expect at some time in the future, stuff will change and the permission database will not get updated, and you will see similar notifications.

How do I get more effects in my action box? I am only showing a few, like BOTTOM BORDERS, LOSE WEIGHT AND SPECIAL EFFECTS. That is all. The turotials I've checked into all show a long list of effects in the actions box. If anyone could help, I appreciate

How do I get more effects in my action box? I am only showing a few, like "Bottom Borders, Losing Weight, Resize and Crop, and Special Effects. And they do not list but a few effects. When I have watched the tutorials, they are showing a long list of effects in the action box. (with a side space bar) I do not. When I have clicked on the little arrow at top, and clicked "Load Actions", a box comes up, but it is blank,saying "no items match your search". I'm lost! If someone could help, it would be much appreciated! I would like to start using this.
Thank you.

I have a long list of gibberish files, in Preferences, in my Library. What are they? How did they get there? Can I delete them?

I have a long list of gibberish files, in Preferences, in my Library. What are they? How did they get there? Can I delete them without causing a problem?

Here is one thing I found googling for WebEx:
http://www.webex.com/why-webex/overview.html
(The x64 would most likely mean 64 bit). It may be a Windows based application/plugin, but since I had never heard of either, I'm only guessing there. If you do a search systemwide for it and don't find it plus don't know why it's there, I'd say throw it in the trash (don't empty it yet - make a note of the file path just in case you do have something installed that needs it so you can move it back).
Glad to hear it's not a torrent; some people use those not realizing that quite often there is a price to pay for downloading stuff for free that costs money elsewhere - the software packages quite often include little "add-ons" = malware which you really don't want.

Where do I send a long list of problems I have with non-functionality with the Lion OSX and new Safari for Lion.

In the past two weeks I have been documenting my Lion problems.
First, Arrows gone from finder windows; makes it difficult in comparing long lists of files in folder, or compare documents when reviewing line by line. This is obviously a change by people who do not compare long lists in windows comparing files between versions of projects ... the click to next screen is NOT equal to arrows.
Second, Finder Redreaw - doesn't. Move files to a fold, if there are a lot of files, they image of the files being moved remains in finder (see attached screen capture) until Finder is restarted and if COPY function is running. last files in Copy queue are not copied.
Screen capture 5 minutes after moving files to a folder - the selected file images are still in Finder after the move was completed.
Third, it is SLOW, particularly going to an "Attach file" in email, drawing the content of a folder to select an attachment is long enough for me to go to the kitchen, get a drink and come back. Just like the old days of OS7.
Fourth, shifting/recentering screen away from where I am working. Several programs, browsers, Adobe Photoshop/inDesign, and dear old Pages re center my screen - not to the center, but if I choose 30 of 70 images in a folder, it will shift … somewhere else in the folder instead of where I just clicked. If I am working on a document in inDesign or PhotoShop it will do the same - the cursor and screen drift elsewhere to find something it has been amused by. Sometimes it is a word, or a file, but often it is off the pastboard and on the etherial pasteboard on which the pages sit. Or if I'm zoomed in on an image, it moves to somewhere else.
I use a mouse and keyboard, both Apple wireless. I do not use a trackpad, but have a tablet/stylus I am afraid to put into the mix until this crap is stopped.
Fifth, SAVE AS… is gone. You must unlock, duplicate and edit the duplicate … and must rename it in Finder, or use EXPORT to save as the same format under a new name. SAVE AS… worked. Not broke, why fix it?
Personal Comment: The problems seem to be the triumph of coked up software engineers ooohing and aaahing over "Wouldn't it be cool if..." Cool, if they were Microsoft, and required everyone change how they have worked on Macs for the past (almost) three decades. Triumph of brainstorming over functionality.
Sixth, I can't use Cocoa Booklet, but that really started in OSX 10.6 "Snow Leopard". Most of my X11/Cocoa programs stopped worked about that time. Apple is no longer supporting "open source"?
But Wait! There's More...
Seventh, Tonight, trying to download a 1.7 gig archive onto a disk where 280 Gigs were supposedly free, it would not download because, according to the wonderful new Safari and the wonderful new Lion, there is not enough disk space to download a 1.7 gig file in a mere 280 Gigs of free space.
I might be able to move Snow Leopard onto the iMac, but my deciding factor was that Apple, in its wisdom, decided to make iBook Author unable to run under Snow Leopard. So moving to Snow Leopard means I have lost the ONLY benefit I get from the new computer and the new system.
This really stinks.

How to Open a New window from a List region Link, Please help

I am trying to get a new full window( Not popup window) open from a list region link. The list region entry is an Image. I get the new page open, but it is not in new window, it is in the same window.
I know I have to give the target = "_blank" somewhere. But In List region, I dont know where to add this.
Please help

Yes, you are right Arun. That is more elegant way of
doing it. Keep it up. thankx..
Btw, why do you hate javascripts? Can you imagine the
internet world without javascript (or ant scripting
language)?yep i agree... but i try my best to avoid scripts.. as i had been workin around some japanese technologies... and there are three major mobile market players there... who has their own content type and all those devices never support javascript..
more over i donno that... in all 3 yrs i have never used that ;-))

I have a long list of bookmarks. They are not sorted. They do not appear anywhere in the "organize bookmarks" window. Where are they? I want to delete a bunch of them but can't find a way.

This is Firefox 3.6.8 and Mac OS 10.5.8.
Right clicking on a bookmark does nothing. I don't know if that is a Firefox version issue or a mouse issue, but the mouse can right click on the Mac OS desktop and get the usual menus.
It is possible for me to delete bookmarks which still point to an active web page because there I can use the star to edit the bookmark. That is way too cumbersome a process for the long list I have. Some are old and no longer point to an active page. The star comes up empty in those cases anyway and I can do nothing about the bookmark.
Bottom line is that I just need a way to see the whole list and choose the ones to delete.
I thought they should all show up in the unsorted bookmarks folder but it is empty. That may be the crux of the problem.

Update - I discovered that the entire list of bookmarks can be accessed in the Organize Bookmarks window by clicking on the icon for Bookmarks Menu.
This seem like odd interface behaviour to me.
All the other software I use follows the pattern that an icon with a triangle to the left, which you click on to expand the menu tree downwards, shows the entire contents of the category when you click on the triangle. In other words, you don't get a different response by clicking on the icon from what you get by clicking on the triangle.
It also seems odd to me that when an unsorted bookmarks folder is automatically provided that unsorted bookmarks would not be placed there by default.
Anyway, by getting the list of bookmarks displayed this way I was able to simply right-click on items in the list and delete them, as I thought I should be able to do. Problem solved. Organize Bookmarks interface found to be somewhat unintuitive.

How do I add a link to the list of links under the "My Account Link"

Q) How do I add a link to the list of links under the "My Account Link"?
A) Edit any of your portlet web services and go to the "Advanced URL Settings" and then "User Configuration URL". If you type a path in this box, a link displays on the My Account page.
You need to restart your portal web server to see results immediately because the display page is cached.

Somehow, they are still appeared as active user in Sharepoint Online.

Hope you can advice. Thanks.

SharePoint does not remove users from SharePoint permissions just because they were deleted/disabled in AD. This is to maintain referential integrity. In fact, when you delete a user from SharePoint, that user remains in the SharePoint content database,
just marked as deleted.
They do not have access to SharePoint given their account is deleted/disabled. But as far as automatically managing this, I'm not aware of a tool. On-prem there is Metalogix ControlPoint which does a great job of this, I haven't explored the O365 options.
