Need spacing between columns

I am having a time trying to get my three column to allow the background color and text to show between the columns.
You can see what I am speaking of with this link: http://digitalresponseoc.com/clients/casey/index3.html
When I float col 3 to the right it looks nice between center column and right column, but I can't seem to get the center column to "float" only in the center to allow the space between the left and center column.
I want the text to show through.
Any help would be great. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the info. Your margin idea works great.
I have the Flash removed but the idea of using the container to show the background as seen at http://digitalresponseoc.com/clients/casey/index.html is giving me problems.
The background needs to be seen through the gaps in the columns.
I am learning more about stuff but I still need to figure out how to have the columns not shift when the browser is resized. argh.
Can you point me in a direction to learn how to do this.
Thanks

Pages-how to set spacing between columns

There used to be a spacing option between columns in Pages. How does one change that spacing now?

In Pages v5(.2), the column and gutter settings are located on the Format > Layout panel. The Gutter setting can be changed by double-clicking on its numeric value. If you have disabled the Equal column width check box, you can also directly change each Column width as you have the Gutter. Revealing the rulers from the View menu can improve the multicolumn layout process, as column indicators appear in the top ruler.

Spacing between columns

Hi,
In the forms ,I need to vary the width of columns and then rearrange it with proper spacing, is there any other way rather than manually doing it.
or in other word is there way to give the specified distance between two columns which can vary from column to column if column width are different.
For example width of column may be 60,80,20....
I am new to forms.please do suggest.
Thanks
Mandar.

thanks all your reply.
But Moazzam again to know x and y position you need to know the values so its kind of tidious job and can get messy at times if we have more number of columns.
the only way i get is doing it manually.
anyways Thank again for your reply

Need spacing between variables

Hello, I'm trying to learn this language on my own (with several books and tutorials). I successfully printed the headings of an inventory, and was able to put the spacing in my variables, until I came to the "price" and quantity". I want to list items in my inventory (it's an exercise, so no database), listing certain features, including price and quantity. Then I want a final display of total value of the inventory items on hand and displaying all fields. I believe there must be a better way to put spacing into variable that include integers, isn't there? Here is my code:
public class Inventory
    public static void main(String[] arguments)
       String itemNumber = ("Item Number     ");
       String itemName= ("Item Name          ");
       String priceEach= ("Price Each          ") ;
       String   quantityAmount = ("Quantity") ;
             String item = ("S44223          ");
       String name = ("crystal beads          ");
       String amount = ("1.50             ");//Set up for spacing
       String number = ("50     ");//set up for spacing
       double price = 1.50; // need for calculation
       double quantity = 50; // need for calculation
        System.out.println(itemNumber + itemName   + priceEach + quantityAmount);
        System.out.println(item + name   + amount   + number);
        System.out.println ("Total value of inventory items on hand = $ " + quantity * price);
}Any suggestions (on a very simple level) would be appreciated.
Thank you,

Spacing between columns in SQL*Plus

Is there a way to format a SQL*Plus report so
numeric columns are not preceeded by a space?
I've already have the setting SET COLSEP ''
but that doesn't work on the numeric fields.
I've also tried setting the column format
and converting the numbers to strings. Any
help will be much appreciated!!

Numeric values are preceeding with a blank because of the sign (which is not included in the definition number(3,2) = -9.99 to +9.99).
You need to convert to char and trim :
select trim(to_char(mynumber)) mynumber from mytable;

Variable Spacing Between Column Prompts

Hi,
I have a dashboard prompt. I have placed it vertically on the left side of page. I has columns from 3 dimensions. As soon as the columns for a particular dimension end i want to add some additional space before the columns of the other dimensions start. Is there any way to do that. I'm working on OBIEE 11.1.1.5.
Rgds,
RJ

That was a Layout Break in Pages '09 and has been chnaged in Pages 5 along with other 90+ features removed.

Pages '09 should still be in your Applications/iWork folder.
Archive/trash Pages 5 and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

6.1 vs 10.3: between column spacing

It appears that there is a slight difference in the spacing between columns in 6.1 and 10.3
Given that we use full column width images in each of our portlets, this is now causing us to have a minor horizontal scroll in the ballpark of 10 pixels in a 3 column layout.
Does anyone know where in the CSS the control is to set the spacing between columns?
Thanks!
Geoff

Found it!
6.1

</td>
<td colspan="1"><img src="http://dimension.marchofdimes.com/imageserver/plumtree/portal/public/img/sp.gif" alt="" border="0" align="absmiddle" height="1" width="5"/></td>
6.5
</td>
<td colspan="1" id="horizontalPaddingCell0"><img src="http://dimensiondev/imageserver/plumtree/portal/public/img/sp.gif" alt="" border="0" align="absmiddle" height="1" width="10"/></td>
This is how to fix the problem in the CSS (assuming you consider it a problem)
/* Set the following 2 attributes to adjust the spacing between columns */
#horizontalPaddingCell0 img{width:5px;}
#horizontalPaddingCell1 img{width:5px;}

How to make paragraphs line up between columns?

I want to make a 2 column chapter, with the text in each column in its own flow. But then I want some of the paragraphs to line up between columns.
So, like this:
xxxxxxxxxx yyyyyyyyy
xxxxxxxxxx yyyyyyyyy
xxxxxxxxxx yyyyyyyyy
yyyyyyyyy
yyyyyyyyy
xxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxx yyyyyyyyy
xxxxxxxxxx yyyyyyyyy
I'm assuming I can't use side heads to put the first column text in, because the info on the left goes on for multiple paragraphs, and I can't seem to line up a block of paragraphs with the baseline of the appropriate right column text.
I used to do this in tables, like this:
xxxxxxxxxx ! yyyyyyyyy
xxxxxxxxxx ! yyyyyyyyy
xxxxxxxxxx ! yyyyyyyyy
! yyyyyyyyy
! yyyyyyyyy
xxxxxxxxxx !
xxxxxxxxxx !
xxxxxxxxxx !
xxxxxxxxxx ! yyyyyyyyy
xxxxxxxxxx ! yyyyyyyyy
...where the gridlines between rows and columns would be hidden. However, I sometimes need to print just the right column, which meant I had to remove the table. It's a 600-page document, I was looking for a more elegant solution.
Any suggestions?
I am using FM8.0(266) on Windows XP.

If you take the sidehead approach that Niels suggest, you could do
this, but it would be a bit of maintenance.
Have your "xxxxx" flow content sit in text frames within anchored
frames. The anchored frames are then in a special conditionalized
paragraph ("z") in the *sidehead* before every "yyyy" flow section,
e.g.
z
xxxxxxxxxx yyyyyyyyy
xxxxxxxxxx yyyyyyyyy
xxxxxxxxxx yyyyyyyyy
yyyyyyyyy
yyyyyyyyy
z
xxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxx
xxxxxxxxxx
z
xxxxxxxxxx yyyyyyyyy
xxxxxxxxxx yyyyyyyyy
The "z" paragraph is just a container for the anchored frames and
should contain no text.
When you hide the "z" tags, all of the "x" flow content will then
disappear as well. You'll have to manually customize the height of
each anchored frame/text frame pair though.
To adjust the spacings between the "y" flow to match at the bottom of
the anchored frames for the "x" flows, use the sidehead paratag ("Z")
and create space above overrides in this paragraph only to adjust the
vertical spacing to keep the x and y sections in sync. This way, you
have overrides confined to only one paratag.
To make maintenance easier, it might be worth creating a FrameScript
that would adjust the height of the anchored/text frame combo based
upon the amount of content in the instructor flow and then apply the
space above override to the anchoring paratag (z).

ABAP webdynpro how to give spacing between the UI Elements in a view

Hi Expert,
I am very new to webdynproapplication development. I am stuck in changing the look of the ui elements of the view.

Need your help!.............thank you
Moderator message: wrong forum, please have a look in the dedicated "Web Dynpro ABAP" forum.

Hi anushree.,
If u are using matrix layout:
In Layout Data select MatrixHeadData to display UI in next line.,
If u want to give space between UI elements in the width enter 50, 60, 70 or what ever space u want.
Also in the vGutter u can select medium , large , medium with rule to give space between UI elements.
n if u want to give space between lines ., in the height enter 30 40 or whatever spacing between lines u want.,
Matrix layout is a good layout., and u can play with colspan , hAlign, vAlign, vGutter, width and height options.,
If u dont like the layout with these options then use Grid layout., where u can give custom spacing., with the help of Left Padding, Right Padding, Top Padding, Bottom Padding.
reply if u need some more clarifications.,
Thanks & Regards
Kiran

Spacing between lines is not consistent!

Dear co-community members,
I am a happy Pages user since a couple of months, but I just discovered a weird thing and that is: the spacing between the lines is not consistent! I am typing my document with margins left and right: 2,25 upper and under: 2,00. I use Helvetica Neue Light in 10. And I have tried several spacings: 1,15 - 1,3 - 1,35 - 1,4 but the spaces between the lines are not consistently as big or as small as they need to be.
I discovered this when I was test printing it and I saw something was off - on paper, I thought it was my printer. But I also checked the document again: spacing was 'the same' in the whole document according to the info window. But I could see it with my bare eyes that it was not consistent (on screen nor on paper). I put the screen on 200% and I took a ruler and the spaces vary with 1mm when for example the spacing is set on 1,3. I don't think this is normal and I cannot find any solution nor explanation for it.
I am using a MBP Retina 13" late 2012 and I have the most updated/recent version of Pages/OSX. Please let me know whether I did something wrong or are my eyes just too good hahah - or it is an 'error' in Pages .
Kind Regards,
Ning.

@PeterBreis0807 & @Barry
I actually don't have any objects or other material/fonts in my text (yet) that are not uniform size . I wanted to make a print screen from a part of my text, but I am not sure if I am allowed to post that here since I am typing a literature review with references.
I btw do have headings in small capital (Helvetica Neue - Medium), it might not be Helvetica Neue Light also but I have never had problems with headings in another font causing inconsistent spacing between the rest of my text .
Thank you for your reply!
Ning.

Spacing between sections on subform

Hello,
I have attached a file with the pdf print out. there are spacing between the sections, yet the section is trimmed and used as a subform to re-occur on the same page. what could be the issue?? I'm using a table as the row, and all columns contain fields that can can grow and shrink.
Is there a possibility (method) to let each section be adjacent to each other like an excel table?
Thank you,

Hello, thank you for your reply.
The problem is that i have three nested elements in the extract xml with variable amounts of these entries. This means that i can't remove the last subform. Yes i have checked the section in the last subform and it is 0.00 and Max from the top. The size of the section is was autosized, meaning that it is not bigger than the boundary of the table.
I hope this makes sense?
Thank you,

Spacing between portlets

Hi, I am new to portal and sorry if this is a silly question. How can I remove the spacing between the portlets?
In fact, whenI design my pages, should I insert the page elements as JSP/HTML portlets, if so, I need to remove the
spacing between them.
If there are other approaches, please help. Maybe overriding skeleton for each page?

You create a custom look and feel (or modify an existing one) .You will need to modify some areas of the skeleton as well the CSS in the skin to get the HTML as you want it.
If you choose an existing skeleton , ensure that you check the generated HTML and check the extra tags that the framework outputs and plan your CSS (and your mock html) accordingly

How to add some text between columns in dashboard prompt?

Hi,
OBIEE version:10.1.3.4.1
Can we add some words between columns in dashboard prompt?
like, I want to add OR, make sure user not to select different month, if selected the different months it will make the report no data.
Month OR Date Range(this is a calendar)
Does anyone have any idea about this?
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Anne

Hi,
If you are using the prompts with presentation variables or referring only the columns separately then you can create individual prompts and place static text between them.
But if you need to have both the prompt columns together then create the prompts and use 'space' as the label names for both.(ie prompts would appear but the name wont appear). And create a static text in the page or in a report and place in the page. Which appears as the name of the prompt with 'OR' between the prompt names.
This should solve your problem.

Is it possible to insert spacing between two TextFields (for visibility)?

In my program, I have multiple TextFields on top of each other, and I want some separation between them just so it looks better. Is there any way to insert a line, or just add more spacing between rows? I am using a Flow Layout (is there something better than this for what I need?).
Thanks.

import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
public class DMtest extends JApplet
     private TextField Field1;
     private TextField Field2;
     public void init()
          Field1 = new TextField ("asdf");
          Field2 = new TextField ("asdf2");
          Container mainWindow = getContentPane();
          mainWindow.setLayout(new FlowLayout());
          mainWindow.add(Field1);
          mainWindow.add(Field2);
}I want a space between Field1 and Field2, each on a separate row.

How to Increase Spacing between characters in textfield

Hi Guys,
I need some kind of solution. I have a textField which I am using to getPassword( I don't want to use JPassword Field) because of older JVM.
suppose TextField is 15 characters wide and number of charactes I want to allow is 5 so I want an "*" then 2 spaces.
Is there any way I can create Custom character( like "* ") or any function to increase spacing between two chars in jtextField.
following are two ideas I have
1. get a char and append multiple white spaces after each char
2. create another class with multiple textfield with spaces between each textfield.
If you guys have any other easy way around.
I would really appriciate your help.
