Moving 'Logon' text From top of page to bottom?

Hi,
I'm using a Theme Greyscale #17 in my application. At the top of all my
pages I have the Company Logo at the Top Left side and a Navigation Bar
on the Top Right. But the Template puts the Users Login (i.e. JSMITH)
just to the right of the Company Logo and it looks funny there. Can somebody
explain how I put the User's login at the bottom left position of the screen?
I don't have an understanding of how to modify Themes/Templates. Thanks
for any help.
Carol
Currently:
[Company Logo]JSMITH HOME | LINKS | ADMIN | HELP | LOGOUT
I'd like it like:
[Company Logo] HOME | LINKS | ADMIN | HELP | LOGOUT
Page Regions
JSMITH

Go to the shared components section of your application.
Click on templates
Find your default page template (There will be a tick mark near it).
Click on the template name.
I think the parts you are looking for are: #NAVIGATION_BAR# and &APP_USER.

  • I did a COPY of some text from a web page, and then did a PASTE into notepad.exe (Windows). The text from each line was duplicated -- on the line! Instead of "Fred", it became "Fred Fred".

    I just recently installed Firefox for the first time. It seems nice and quick. The version is reported as: "10.0.1".
    I wanted to save some text from a web page, so navigated to that page, selected the text, and pressed the Control-C combination to COPY the selected text to the buffer. For example, the text I selected looked something like this:
    Harry
    Ron
    Hermione
    Hagrid
    Albus
    NOTE: Each line of text has a small icon to the left of the text.
    It is not reasonable to COPY and PASTE each line individually, as there can be hundreds of lines of data. I recall, however, that
    doing a COPY and PASTE on this data into Microsoft's Excel will produce cells which have the icons included in the cell, but unfortunately one cannot can't get rid of them! At least I've never found a way to remove them, but that's another issue. :)
    Once I'd done the COPY operation I switched to a Notepad window and did a PASTE operation. To my surprise, the text from each line was duplicated. It looked like this:
    Harry Harry
    Ron Ron
    Hermione Hermione
    Hagrid Hagrid
    Albus Albus
    Thinking that there might be something unusual about the web page I looked at the source, but it appeared "normal" -- that is, as expected.
    Note: I have done this operation several times before, and have never seen this occur before.
    Note: In the actual data some of the lines have quoted text in them. Curiously there is weird behavior on these lines. In some cases the entire line is shown only once. (These occur at the top of the line, and the quoted text is at the beginning of the name.)
    When quoted text appears "later" in the name, in some cases the quoted text is duplicated, and in other cases the quoted text is missing altogether! I have also noticed an error with the quoted text, and so will be reporting that to the web site which generates the HTML.
    Note that each line of "text" is "anchor text", so if I click on a name the browser navigates to a page for that name.
    I believe that the problem is that the COPY operating in Firefox is not simply copying the visible text, but also the ALT=
    Below is a sample of what the source HTML looks like:
    <a class="lnk" target="_blank" href="http://details.aspx?id=Harry">
    <img width="16" height="16" alt="Harry" class="tb_icon" src="http://.../Harry.gif"/>
    <span>Harry</span></a>
    <br/>
    (Because of the true length of the lines in the source HTML, I have stripped out the actual URL of the site.)
    To make sure I wasn't imaging this difference I repeated the process within Internet Explorer. In that browser I did not get duplicated data.

    Try:
    *Extended Copy Menu (fix version): https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/extended-copy-menu-fix-vers/

    but it only extracts URLs from <A> (anchor) tags. I want to be able to extract URLs from <MAP> tags as wellGee, do you think you could modify the code to check for "Map" attributes as well.
    Can someone maybe point a page containing info on the HTML toolkit for me?It's called the API. Since you are using the HTMLEditorKit and an ElementIterator and an AttributeSet, I would start there.
    There is no such API that says "get me all the links", so you have to do a little work on your own.
    Maybe you could use a ParserCallback and every time you get a new tag you check for the "href" attribute.

  • Copying text from PDF to Pages

    I am trying to copy text from a PDF file into Pages, after pasting the copied text into my new Pages document the spacing between most of the text becomes corrupeted,
    for ex.
    "Copying text from PDF to Pages" is imported as "CopyingtextfromPDFtoPages"
    does anyone know how to correct this?

    Rishi,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    After reading your post, I tried to duplicate this problem. I opened a PDF, selected a sentence, then copied it to the clipboard. I then opened Pages, selected the blank template, then pasted in the text. It pasted perfectly.
    Does this problem happen with all text in a PDF? With different PDFs?

  • How do I select text from multiple pdf pages using Microsoft Document Imaging

    Hello.  I have scanned 3 pages and saved to pdf, now in Microsoft Document Imaging I can only select text from the first page and cannot select text from the other 2 pages.  Is there a way to select multiple pages?
    Thank you.

    Why don't you ask in a MS forum? This forum is for an Adobe product and I have no idea why you are asking about Microsoft Document Imaging here.

  • How can I use Automator or AppleScript to get text from a web page and paste it in execl?

    I don't know how to make scripts or complexed automator workflows... that's why I'm asking.
    I'm trying to make a simple app or script to ask me what text to extract from a web page, like name, address and phone number of a web page and paste each one of these data in the righ cell of excel.
    I was thinking to promt a request from automator or an applescript to ask me which text to extract from the page or to look throught the HTML of the page to search for specific html tags, from which extracting text and then importing it, or paste it to the specified execl cell. Name in the name cell, address in the address cell and so on.
    Can somebody help me to make this script?
    If you know an alternative, like a software that already do this or another language to use, please tell.

    Try holding down the alt key as you mark the text to be copied. You can then copy columns to table text.

  • How do I copy text from a web page in Safari?

    I've searched up and down and can't find the answer to this simple question.
    There is a UI element that I want to copy to the clipboard and then paste into Excel. The UI element is:
    static text of group 104 of UI element 1 of scroll area 1 of group 4 of window "Account Summary"
    The contents of this static text on the web page is "$1,000.00"
    How can I copy this to the clipboard?
    I've tried:
    select static text of group 104 of UI element 1 of scroll area 1 of group 4 of window "Account Summary"
    keystroke "c" using command down
    keystroke "l" using command down
    keystroke "v" using command down
    but it doesn't work. "Select" doesn't actually seem to select anything. However, when I run this from within Script Editor, in the Results Window I get:
    {static text "$1000.00" of group 104 of UI element 1 of scroll area 1 of group 4 of window "Account Summary" of application process "Safari" of application "System Events"}
    ... I'm confused as to what this is telling me. All I want is to copy this value to the clipboard. Any suggestions???
    Thanks,
    Jeff

    Try this:
    set the clipboard to item 1 of (get name of (static text of group 104 of UI element 1 of scroll area 1 of group 4 of window "Account Summary" of application process "Safari"))

    It depends on your settings for how you copy/paste. See your

    for those. I don't get such things because my settings are

    they are restrictive to what stying is carried into the page.
    > How I do this in a nav bar?
    Change this -

    color: #003300;

    and then change this -

    </ul>

    .nav ul {

    margin:0;

    If you want to make the current page look like it doesn't
    have a link, then
    do this -
    <ul>
    <li><a href="index.html"
    id="home">Home</a></li>
    <li><a href="about_us.html" id="about">About
    Us</a></li>
    <li><a href="impact_HE.html" id="impact">Impact
    of HE Proposal</a></li>
    <li><a href="purpose_ED.html" id="purpose">The
    Purpose of ED</a></li>
    <li><a href="procedures.html"
    id="procedure">Procedures</a></li>
    <li><a href="what_can_we_do.html" id="what">What
    Can We Do?</a></li>
    </ul>
    and add this to each page (use the proper ID) -
    a#about {
    cursor:default;
    /* any other styles you want to make the current page show
    > I am being a complete idiot today (maybe it's because
    it's Sunday) Can you
    > talk me through this.
    Make the changes manually in code view.
    If you are getting the idea that you will need to ramp your
    HTML and CSS
    skills to do this stuff, you are right on target!

  • Moving graphic slide from Keynote to Pages

    I have created a graphic slide in Keynote and moved it to a document in Pages, BUT it expands in Pages.
    Can I lock the size in Keynote before I move the slide?
    or
    can I scale it in Pages WITHOUT everything being distorted?
    Thanks
    Bo

    Hi Bogerv,
    Hold down the Shift key then bring in the handles. This will keep its proportions with out distortions. Also, when I copy a graphic from Keynote '09 to Pages '09, then looking in Inspector they're both the same size. Sorry I cannot replicate your anomaly.
    If that isn't what you desire please post back with more information as to what you're doing, how you're doing what you're it. The more information the better we should be able to assist you.

  • Vertical Distance of Cursor From Top of Page

    I am looking for the display that shows the vertical distance of the cursor from the top edge of the page in inches. In every other word processor that I have used there is a read-out at the bottom of the display that shows the current vertical location of the cursor, in inches, from the top edge of the page. In Microsoft Word this a standard feature. For business applications this is an important feature, yet when I speak to Apple's own experts on the telephone they seem to think

    I share Peter's curiosity, particularly since an admittedly cursory examination of an MS Word (Win) screen did not reveal the readout mentioned by redpony, or any other indcation of the position of the 'cursor' or of an inserted and selected graphics object. Did I miss a setting somewhere?
    I looked at MS Works, MS Word and OpenOffice.org on Windows and at Pages and NeoOffice on Mac OS X.
    On Windows:
    MS Works does not include a vertical ruler, and the help files didn't suggest one was available.
    Didn't see the readout redpony claimed in MS Word 2007, or any indication on the rulers of the current location of either the cursor (mouse pointer) or the insertion point.
    OpenOffice.org didn't indicate the location of either, but did mark the vertical and horizontal location of a selected object on both rulers.
    On the iBook:
    NeoOffice showed the location of a selected object in the same manner that OpenOffice.org did on the Windows machine. Not surprising, as Neo is developed from OOo.
    Pages '09 did not show a vertical ruler (on a word processing document) by default, but did so after a change in Pages > Preferences > Rulers. Like the others, Pages did not show the location of the insertion point or the mouse pointer either on the rulers or through a readout. But Pages DID show the location of an object when the object was clicked. The location of the top, vertical center and bottom of the object were shown with index lines on the vertical ruler (if present), and the corresponding three markers were placed on the horizontal ruler. In addition, Pages presented a numerical readout near the object showing the current x and y coordinates of the object's upper left corner with a precision of two places after the decimal.

  • Extracting text from a web page

    I want to extract information about livestock from a certain web page, and add these data to a database.
    The web page in question allows me to enter an animal's ID number, and then it displays various data about that individual animal. The format of the page is always the same, but the data vary depending on the particular ID/animal.
    What I'm hoping for is a way to quickly extract information about the current animal (date of birth, color, breeding status, etc.) from the open page, and add these to my database.
    I realize I can "cut and paste", but that is awfully slow for large numbers of data and animals.
    Since the data I need are always in the same places on the page, it seems like there must be a way to automate the extraction.
    Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
    Eric

    Here's a very rough, untested way to do it:
    (I'm at work and not on a Mac..so..Milage May Vary)
    It would be run as script.pl -i input -o output
    eg ./script.pl -i myfilea -o myfileb
    oh and the input would be a list of valid web page addresses
    eg http://www.foo.com
    --bEGIN cODE---
    #!/usr/bin/perl
    use Getopt::Std;
    use LPW::Simple;
    getopts("i:o:");
    #allows for using -i -o cl options
    open(IN,"$opt_i")||die "Cant open input";
    open(OUT,">$opt_o")||die "Cant open output";
    #opens 2 files
    while ($line = <IN>){
    #READ IN line by line
    @Doc=();
    #clear the variable Doc
    @Doc=LPW::Simple::get($line);
    #open the web page and store all the html into Doc
    foreach $docline (@Doc){
    #go through every line of text in Doc
    if ($docline =~ m/:/){
    #does the line have a : on it..if so..
    $docline =~ s/ / /;
    $docline =~ s/
    $docline =~ s///;
    $docline =~ s/<\/b>//;
    #these 4 lines remove or reformat html formatting
    print OUT "$docline\n";
    #ok its simplistic, but for now just spits out the line it read to OUT
    close (IN);
    close (OUT);

  • Regarding the Alignment of text in top-of-page using oops

    I am displaying the texts on the top-of-page in two columns, i am facing a problem while displaying the text on the right-side as it is not displaying the text in the proper alignment.
    I am using the method : add_gap for the gap between the
    left- side text and the right-side text .
    how can i overcome this.

    it is a trail and Error method , using the add_gap method you have to adjust the texts. otherwise you have to use the method add_table. see the usage of the method in the program DD_STYLE_TABLE

  • How do I link text from column 2 page 1 to column 1 page 2

    I'm trying to do a newsletter now that I upgraded to 5.0 Pages.  I see no way to link the text on my first page in the right column (I have two columns of text) to continue on page 2 in the left column.  Where is the blue link box that was in the previous pages?  Or how do I do it now?

    How had you purchased Pages 09/iWork '09?
    Apple should be able to replace it.
