Need CSS Help for Gallery

I have an image gallery which is working fine. But I'm at a loss for what CSS rule will center my large image vertically within its div. I've tried several attempts, none of which have had any affect. I've temporarily resorted to using a top margin to bump down my portrait image (image 1) so it appears centered... but that won't solve my landscape image (image 2).
Here's my link http://home.comcast.net/~steven.kay/ and my current styles below.
#apDiv1 {width:495px; height:460px; z-index:1; float: right; margin-top: -38px; margin-right: 10px; text-align: center; background-image: url(../images/gallery/apDiv_bckgr.jpg); background-position: center center; vertical-align: middle;}
#apDiv1 img {margin-top: 17px;}
Thanks,
Steve

Sorry to say there is no CSS vertical centering rule that can automagically center your portrait & landscape images on screen. Perhaps if you display all your portait images in one division and all your landscapes in another you can apply the correct top margin. Or consider using another scripted gallery based on JQuery or Lightbox.
4Level has a free Lightbox extension for DW that may do what you need.

What does a new non-DE user need? | Help for a Wiki page

Hey Archers,
I'm using Arch with the Compiz Standalone Window Manager and I need some help for a project.
It turns out (who knew) that computers need a lot more to run smoothly than just a desktop and applications. You need network managers, gtk themes and much much more. Now, Desktop Environments such as GNOME and KDE provide a lot of these programs built-in, good for them, but I'm looking to build my system as dependency-free as I can and the big DE's don't really provide that. Especially GNOME just ropes me in whenever I want to use the tiniest piece of it (darn you gnome-keyring).
So I come to you fora, with a quest for information. I want to compile an overview of essential and useful applications with minimal dependencies that allow a CompizIndy user to build his system freely. And if I get enough information, I want to turn it into its own page for the Wiki so it becomes easier to get started with a birds-eye view of what you need to flesh out your system (not exclusively for CompizIndy btw). So please help me!
What applications/daemons/tools should a new system install? I'm not asking which ones are the best or worst or your favorites, just which kinds do you need --that aren't covered in the install guide--?
For example it's advisable to get:
Panel/dock
desktop manager
network manager
compositing manager
a tool for managing removable devices (ntfs-3g etc)
a packer/unpacker
a screensaver
power management
alt-F2 runcommand
custom keybindings
a user switch/logout manager
a volume manager
etc.
So what do you recommend? What do you need to get up and going?
Hoping to hear from you guys and girls,
Matthias
PS: if I'm doubling up on anything, please let me know and save me effort and embarassment ^_^

There are many threads on this, although individual ones asking for "the best app to do XXX". You could try searching those. Also Search for the LnF Awards threads. you might find a few ideas there. We also have wiki pages for light-weight applications which might be useful
Panel/dock none
desktop manager none
network manager netcfg
compositing manager none or xcompmgr (for basic compositing)
a tool for managing removable devices (ntfs-3g etc) udiskie or udev rules or devmon
a packer/unpacker coreutils eg - tar, bzip etc with an alias called "ex" in .aliases
a screensaver none
power management ???
alt-F2 runcommand gmrun
custom keybindings xbindkeys
a user switch/logout manager none
a volume manager see udiskie....
BTW, if this is for you, then simply install Arch and use a non DE based WM --- eventually you will figure out what you are missing

I need some help for an explanation. Loop for 1 minute.

          int minute=1;
          long currentTime=System.currentTimeMillis();
          long stoppingTime = currentTime + (minute * 60 * 1000);
          while (currentTime<stoppingTime) {
               // do x;
               currentTime=System.currentTimeMillis();
          }I want to have the loop to run for 1 minute. It does not seem to work.
What did I miss? I need some help for an explanation.

Ran:
class PrintTimeAsProcess {
public static void main(String[] argv) throws Exception {
    int minute=1;
    long currentTime=System.currentTimeMillis();
    long stoppingTime = currentTime + (minute * 15 * 1000);
    System.out.println("START Time: "+currentTime);
    while (currentTime<stoppingTime) {
      currentTime=System.currentTimeMillis();
    System.out.println("END Time: "+currentTime);
}Got:
START Time: 1149278202718
END Time: 1149278217718

are you trying to load a multi line textfile int a JTextField? If you try to load this in a while loop as you read the file, it will zoom through the file, and you will probably only see the last line of the file (or nothing if the last line is blank) in the jtextfield. Consider using a JTextArea or some other component that can hold multiple lines. Also your file reading method calls look wrong to me. You appear to read a line, then continually check if that one read line is null, and if not do a while loop, that looks to loop forever. Look at the java I/O examples for how to do this right.
Good luck

In serious need of help for huge Premiere Pro Picture glitch. Confounded beyond belief.

Gents and ladies, I have been at this for two days and am in desperate need of help. Right now my editing in Premiere Pro is completely stalled due to a bizzare picture glitch. I am 100% stuck and unable to edit.
When I add a picture to my bin, it's ok. Then I add a second and it seems fine. But any and all pictures I add after that show up as the first picture. Never mind that the name of the file appears correct.
The picture itself, both the thumbnail and the picture in the timeline, etc. are just the first picture.
I have rebooted,restarted, started new projects with new settings, cleared the Premiere Pro cache... NOTHING works.
Video is not a problem. Only pictures. And I am now dead in the water as a result.
Look at this screenshot. See how the other than the second picture they are all the same? Well, they shouldn't be. But they are. And I am stuck and unable to edit at all as a result.
WTH is happening here?
I have Premiere Pro 5 on a PC from Adobe Production Premium.
One issue I have had recently is in the middle of editing Premiere Pro will start conforming video that has already been conformed prior.
Begging for help here.

I guess I should expect a snarky answer from someone named "Snarky McSnarkster." You are being quite rude. It is not helpful to tell someone to fix a glitch by buying new software. That is not a solution. I could just uninstall and re-install, but I am not going to risk losing all of my current projects if something goes wrong. That is like a thermonuclear option. And spending a grand on new software is insane when I don't need it. The software has been fantastic since I bought it. But glitches happen and so I have been in this forum before and always found a solution via some helpful experts.
It is also absurd to call me disinterested when I have engaged with everyone here and answered all of their questions. Just because I have tried most of what has been suggested and explained as such does not make me the bad guy.
As for Ann Bens' question: We have seen this issue in the past and re-save was the solution. Are these images RGB?
Yes, most are RGB. Some I have tried are CMYK. I have tried jpegs, tiffs, bitmaps, png. I am completely clueless as to how this is happening.
I am about to try opening Photoshop, opening a bunch of pictures and savings them to a new HD, then starting a brand new project.
For those who have made suggestions, thank you.

Need search help for Profit centre

Hi all,
I am struggling to facilitate profit centres in SRM. I am quite close to it. I have done some config changes and could get the profit centre option in web browser under cost assignment. The POs are going through in R/3.
BUT the searchhelp is not available in the web browser in the next field "Assigned to". There are different search helps available in the program LBBP_PDH_ACCF32 for different account assignment categories but not for profit centre.
Let me know if there is some search help available somewhere in SRM for profit centre.
Regards,
Ravi

Ravi,
Hi. Profit centres, like cost centres, doen't exist on SRM as an entity. What the system does for cost centres is it holds a key to which system this exists on (eg the logical system name for R3). When you search for cost centres on the account assignement screen the system runs a search help on the R3 backend.
My guess is that you would need to configure the system to act the same as with cost centres and run the search help for profit centres on teh R3 backend.
Cheers
Rob

Need someone helps for several Problems on my 9630 Tour

Hello,
Well, these are list of problems with my 9630 Tour, and I need some helps to solve these :
1. My 1st problem is, everytime my 9630 started its also a message appears : "uncaught exception index 8 >= 8"
2. And I also realized that some missing application happened. My m-Banking application (already re-installed well) but it also lost of SMS icon. So the result is, everytime I sent an outgoing SMS I couldn't save it. And I have made a test to sent SMS from my other number to this 9630 device, but 9630 couldn't show that any incoming message, even my other device has given me notification that message has been delivered.
3. Its also often shutdown suddenly by itself, or its shutdown upon charging
4. Charging tasks sometime couldn't be well charged. And finally I realized that my device has off in the middle of charging task, it may caused of charging wasn't recharge the device very well
Hopefully I can read your kindly solution on those problems happened. Thank you for your prompt response.

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
I actually think that all of your issues are related, and rooted in the same problem...OS corruption or hardware failure. But, before you begin, please be sure you have a good backup...see the link in my auto-sig on this post for instructions for that process.
Then, at the top of each device forum, there should be some "sticky" threads that discuss the OS levels available for many models. If they include your model, then please use those as reference as you proceed. Otherwise, you will have to dig through the official download portal for OS packages for your model:
http://us.blackberry.com/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp
From a PC, you can install any compatible (e.g., for your exact BB Model Number) OS package to a BB via this procedure:
http://supportforums.blackberry.com/t5/BlackBerry-Device-Software/How-To-Reload-Your-Operating-Syste...
Note that while written for "reload" and the Storm, it can be used to upgrade, downgrade, or reload any BB device model -- it all depends on the OS package you download and install to your PC. If that OS package is from a carrier other than the carrier for which your BB was originally manufactured, then delete, on your PC, all copies of VENDOR.XML...there will be at least one, and perhaps 2, and they will be located in or similarly to (it changes based on your Windows version) these folders:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader
C:\Users\(your Windows UserName)\AppData\Roaming\Research In Motion\BlackBerry\Loader XML
Be sure that you remove, from your PC, any other BB device OS packages as having more than one installed to the PC can cause conflicts with this procedure.
You may also want to investigate the use of BBSAK (bbsak.org) to perform the wipe it is capable of.
You may also want to try this procedure to perhaps narrow down the precise causal item:
Load your OS "bare bones"...if anything is optional, do not install it.
If the behavior presents immediately, then try a different OS with step 1
If the behavior does not immediately present, then run for as long as it takes for you to be sure that the behavior will not present.
Add one thing -- no matter how tempting, just one.
If the behavior does not present immediately, then again run for long enough to be sure it will not have the same problem
Repeat steps 4 and 5 until all things are loaded or the behavior presents
When the behavior presents, you know the culprit...the last thing you loaded.
If the behavior does not re-present, then you know that either step 1 or 2 cured it.
If the behavior presents no matter what, then you likely have a hardware level issue for which no amount of OS or software can cure.
If you are on MAC, you are limited to only your carriers sanctioned OS packages...but can still use any levels that they currently sanction. See this procedure:

The best tool to add this kind of particle is After Effects.
If you have the Creative Cloud then I recommend you download that.
Slightly annoying voice over, but here is a youtube tutorial you can follow top make floating particals. You can adjust it to make it look exactly as you want.

Needed urgent help for user creation in security manager in ODI 11g

Hi Gurus,
I have an urgent requirement in ODI security manager and i am completely helpless. We need specific steps for the user creation with sufficient priviledges. The detailed requirements are:
1. There is a group of users under the framework team and these users should be able to edit the Knowledge modules only. All other objects (e.g. projects, interface, procedures or development related objects) should only be in read only mode for them.
2. There is a group of users under the development team. The priviledges of these users should be mutually exclusive to that of the framework team users. i.e. the development team should be able to edit or delete all development related objects (e.g. projects, interface, proc etc.) but the knowledge modules should only be in read only mode for them.
Now I will explain what i have tried out:
I am working on ODI 11.1.1.5.
I have created a user with NG DESIGNER and CONNECT profile. Dragged and dropped all the projects on the user and selected all methods in all repositories (check sign). However when i connect with that user i cannot open the KMs (as far as development team is concerned its fine) but i can also not open interfaces as well as procedures (which is not acceptable from development point of view).
Also when i tried creating a user from the framework team point of view i could not see any option related to KMs (To give edit priviledge).
Please help me out guys. I have also searched oracle documentation and believe me the security manager section is not very good. If you guys can help me out with specific steps it would be great (I have tried the hints given in oracle documentation and they dont work, the ODI security manager behaves strangely :-(
Thanks in advance,
SB

Similar requirement here guys. Any pointers. I was able to achieve this by restricting development user from supervisor access. In that case the development user can not edit the interfaces. Any known defefct?

I need Your Help for CAF/EU/GP/API Guided Procedures

Hi everyone, I need your help about Guided procedures CAF API, I am developing an WEB DYNPRO Callable Object for Guided Procedures, but I need to get the task name of the running proceess on Guided Procedure once time a user initiated it, if is possible? Do you have an examples?
Thenk you very much

Hi,
Yes you can retrieve the task name of the running process. Here is what you need to do.
1. Get the process instance - IGPRuntimeManager - > getInstance()
2. Get the IGPActivityInstance(s) from the process instance - processInstance.getChildrenInformation().
3. Optionaly check if these child activities are Blocks or Actions. If Block drill further to get the Actions using getChildrenInformation().
4. Retreive the IGPActionInstance(s) from the Block Activities.
5. Get the IGPActivity object for these Actions using IGPActionInstance.getTemplate() method.
6. This object will have a method getTitle() which will retrive you the activity name.
Hope this helps.
Thanks
Kiran

Need conceptual help for a simple drag n drop game

As anyone who saw my previous thread knows, I'm trying to make an educational app prototype (I'm new to Flash, this is for a Masters in education) to help students learn IPA symbols (phonetics). I have successfully made a section where the students click on symbols to hear the corresponding audio and listen to explanations.
For the final part of the prototype, I have to create some kind of instructional game. My idea is to have 12 circles, each one playing an audio file of a vowel sound (this I know how to do). The students will have to click the circles to listen and then drag and drop them to the correct IPA symbol. Flash would then give feedback on correct/incorrect answers and a score. Maybe all of this is against the clock, needing a timer.
So, I need to learn drag and drop. What else to I need to learn so that one drop position is considered "correct", the others are considered "incorrect" and a score is given at the end? And maybe a timer?)
Any conceptual help gratefully received!!
Darren

Cheers for the reply.
Yes, I have heard of this Google you speak of The thing is, sometimes as a beginner you can't see the wood for the trees and I find mountains of info when I search, it's hard to know which direction to do in. As for drag & drop I had already found good tutorials on that, it's more the other concepts that need to be employed that I would like information on.
I'll look into the getTomer() function, sounds just what I need.
As for the scoring correct/incorrect answers, i found a wonderful example on flashkit.com, which would basically solve all my problems if I learn how to adapt it. The trouble is it was made in Flash 7, I'm on CS4.
How many changes would I need to make to the code to turn it into AS3?
Cheers everyone

Need F4 Help for custom container element based on partner type

Hi Friends
I am displaying customer details in custom container .In that custom container I have a field Partner number,Partner type etc etc..
I included F4 help for partner number field, In that I referenced the following field.Now its coming perfectly.
wa_cat1-f4availabl = 'X'.
wa_cat1-ref_table = 'KNA1'.
wa_cat1-ref_field = 'KUNNR'.
But as per my requirement, customer wants to get the different F4 help when the partner type eq "Contact Person".
Rest of the partner type(Ship to party, Sold to party,Reseller, End user) should show the above one.
So I dont know, where I have to change, because in the field catelod level there is no option to control particular type in the column.
Kindly help me on this.
Thanks

Desperate need of HELP for a Java GUI !

Hy people,
I am working on a project trying to display a GUI where its output is dependant on the user's input.
Here is a brief example of what Im trying to do:
You have a GUI that contains 2 panels. buttonPanel and DisplayPanel.
buttonPanel contains:
a dropdown list: includes choices of colors,
2 textfields: the length: (can enter from 1 to 100),
the width: (can enter from 1 to 100),
a checkbox: random
and a start button.
Now when I enter ALL the information needed in the components and then press start button, it should display its result in the DisplayPanel.
In my case, I want to display just one rectangle to start off. That will have its color changed by the dropdown choice made. Now Im forgetting about the length and width textfield for now cause that will be incorporated for something else later on.
I created a buttonLitener for the start button and an ItemListener for the dropDown List.
I declared and drew a rectangle specific to the color chosen by the user in a class I created called DrawingCanvas that extends Canvas and that overrides the paint method.
BUT My problem is that it does not display the rectangle I created in my DisplayPanel when I press on the Start button.
I provided a screenshot of the GUI interface, and my 2 java files. Is someone brave enough to fix my problem or even tell me what Im doing wrong ?!

PLEASE I am not Amazing with Java, and pulling my hair out in figuring out my problem.
Thank you.

Seriously, look at the first reply in the following thread. It gives a pretty good idea of generally accepted good practices in the forum.
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=603683
It is probably better to post code directly on the forum than to try to get people to take the extra steps to download, unzip, and compile your code. That way, they can just cut and paste to try to compile. Be sure to use [code][/code] tags to make your code easier to use. And, try to provide a small example of your problem if the code is very long or complex.
Another piece of advice. Don't try to challenge the regulars in this forum to prove that they are smart enough, brave enough, whatever enough to tackle YOUR problem. The regulars here include software engineers, authors, and generally very smart and experienced people They don't need to prove themselves to anyone.
What they want to see is that you have genuinely tried to understand your problem, rather than just running to the forum the first time you get a compiler error.
You seem to have been working on this problem. Go ahead and create a test case that shows what the problem is. Quite frequently, just doing that will help you solve the problem yourself.
Good luck.
