Non scrolling region with watermark in RH-HTML?

Hello, I always worked with RoboHelp for word and would like
to try and import everything into HTML-Projekts. I don't have any
experience with it and can't find some functions.
Is it possible to define a non scrolling region for the
heading of my html-Topics? If yes, how can I do it and can I define
a watermark for my headers? (Our headings are white on a dark blue
logo).
Thanks for your help in advance!
P.S.: I still work with RH 5

Yes it can be a bit of a learning curve but most of us have
been through it on these forums so you'll find lots of useful
advice from the participants. As far as the <BODY ONLOAD... tag,
you have to add this yourself if it does not exist. What the
article suggests is a bit of good old "under the hood" cowboy style
authoring. It shouldn't really be attempted unless you are fairly
proficient with HTML and have taken a backup of your project first.
As was stated in the link, it is a good idea to get out of the
habit of wanting those non-scrolling regions.

Setting Non Scrolling Region in RH9 HTML ?

I have been a RH for Word user generating .HLP output files for several years. A particular feature I like to use in the HLP out put is to set specific Non Scolling regions at the top of topics. Also including Links (Including Authorable Buttons) withoin those non scrolling regions.
Due to issues I am having with the current output of 'HLP files in the lkatest version of RH9 I am seriously considering (Many have told me I should have years agp) migrating to a CHM output. In the process Ihope to convert my current large .HLP project to a RH 9 HTML project and a CHM output.
What I would like advice on is 'Is there a simple or non simple way within RH HTML to set 'Non Scrolling regions" similar to what I have in RH for word .HLP output files ? Is there anyone who can provide me with simple step by step instructions that I could follow to achieve this outcome ?
Thanks

Hi Bryan
I'm not sure if it's covered there, but there is a way to accomplish the NSR goal using CSS rules. I believe a guy named Roger Nilsson had some info on it. I may have a link to his site from my CHM file. If memory serves, it is Copperfield Publishing.
http://www.copperfieldpub.com/
Seems he had some examples using "Alice in Wonderland" as the text.
I recall when I made the switch from WinHelp to HTML Help about 12 years ago that I was really dismayed that HTML Help offered no NSR. I eventually came to terms with it and abandoned the thought of keeping them.
Cheers and best of luck to you... Rick

Set Non-Scrolling Region in RH HTML

I am using RH 8 for HTML.
In RH Word I could set a non-scrolling region in my individual topics. Is there a way to do that in HTMLHelp?
Thanks!

Hi Tina
Sorry, but those are simply standard links in my signature line.
What my reply was meant to convey was that making this work in RoboHelp HTML is going to be a bit of a daunting task for most folks. So the question to ask you here is how serious are you about making it work? Assuming you really Really REALLY absolutely MUST make it work, you will need to step beyond the cozy confines of what RoboHelp intuitively offers, roll up your sleeves and begin hand coding CSS and HTML. And don't be surprised to discover that even that may not be enough as RoboHelp will often helpfully undo what you did.
If that's really what you want to do, I'll post back with a link to a site that tells you how to accomplish it. (I'd post it now but it always requires me to dig endlessly to locate it. So I wanna be sure you really need to tackle it first.)
You might click that link in my sig to the Wish Form and submit a Feature Request to see Adobe build this NSR ability into RoboHelp HTML. Who knows, if they see enough folks asking for it, maybe we will see it someday.
Cheers... Rick

Non-scrolling topic - CSS change doesn't take effect

I am trying to create a non-scrolling region in WebHelp, RH 9. I followed some instructions to change the style tag for the area that I don't want to have scroll to position="fixed." Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to change my output at all and the region scrolls just fine.
I don't want to go the frame route. Any ideas? Here is the CSS code for the style. It appears at the top of the page, and I want it to stay at the top for all topics.
H2 {
font-weight: bold;
font-size: 18.0pt;
position: fixed;
left: 0px;
right: 0px;
width: 100%;
top:-24px;
background-color: #ffffff;

Hi all,
About the need for non-scrolling regions: I just want to mention that as I was very happy to have found ways to add a non-scrolling region to topics for my online help, this once non-negotiable requirement from my client became less relevant when we decided to chunk the information, based on an information architecture, in such a way that the bulk of the text in a topic is never very long. In cases where there is a need for more information, I have used drop-down text to keep the page as short as possible and allow the reader to see the information at a glance. In early user testing of the online help, we did not use non-scrolling regions and the users never noticed it and never required it since they rarely had to scroll the pages to get the information.
If ever you cannot find a way to make non-scrolling region work with your online help, maybe chunking your information may be something to consider, although I understand that it implies some or a lot of work and that it might not fit your timeline for delivery.

Can you access non-Oracle database with HTML DB?

Can you access non-Oracle database with HTML DB? If not, will this be possible in the future?
I realize HTML DB is not an open-source product. However, it is necessary sometimes to get non-Oracle database info. JDeveloper supports this. It does not appear to me that HTML DB does. This is a major drawback to it being a product for more potential applications that rely on other database technology such as MySQL, etc.
If it is possible, is this brain surgery to do it. HTML DB offers fast simplified development and it would be good if it was built in. Does anyone know of an example of accessing non-Oracle database that is available?

12282,
In general, HTML DB gives you access to Oracle database facilities. These include heterogeneous services. Please search this forum for keyword "heterogeneous" and you can follow the threads that interest you.
As for the comparison with brain surgery, I'd rank them about the same in terms of raw thrill.

HTML Region with source as an item not rendering HTML

HI All,
1) I have a hidden item P1_ITEM which will be populated after page submit. This item value will be a text with HTML tags
2) I have created a HTML region with source as &P1_ITEM.
However the text in HTML region is not getting rendered properly for eg;-
If the value of P1_ITEM is
*HI <BR > HOW R U <BR >
<BR> tag appears as such and is not rendered in HTML format.
What should I do to get the HTML rendering correct.
Thanks & Regards,
Vikas Krishna

Hi
I created the scenario you explained and found the same issue. I don't know the reason may be some other expert can explain the it.
However as a workaround you can create a PL/SQL (anonymous block) region and in the source you can use
htp.p( :P1_ITEM );----

Can't Delete Non-Editable Region in Template?

Well, I can in existing templates but if I create a new one from an existing page using "Save as Template", when I try to delete a non-editable region in the template, DW won't let me. I don't know why. Aaaargh!
It's my understanding I should be able to edit anything in a template. I've tried existing DW and restarting. I've tried using other pages as a basis for the template. Every template I create won't let me delete non-editable regions. I'm highlighting the non-editable region and pressing the delete key. I can't delete.

burro_mail wrote:
Not sure DW is doing what you describe...
But I am certain you could remove the region in code view.
Even if you are a WYSIWYG-er and not a big code-head, it should be pretty easy to remove the region markers and everything between them...
Trust me, it is. I'm wondering if the problem is associated with the fact that the source page that I saved as a template was based on a template? I just noticed that this new template refers to another template. I'm thinking that means the other template is controlling what I'm trying to do in the current template.
That's it. I just tried saving a template under a different name (still retaining the correct template file extension) but did not do the save as template. Now I can completely edit that template. So you if you save a page that is controled by a template, as a template, that new template is controlled by the previous template.
I've got a headache now.

Report - column Displayable in Region settings but hidden in HTML output

Hi,
Here is the craziest thing I am going to ask.... This is as it applies to Report Region (we can easily do this with non Reports Region using "HIDDEN"). I want to not display a column but still use its value in Javascript.
I have a column let us say 'SEQ_NUM' (which is not a primary key). We don't want to display this column to the users but still want to be able to access it in Javascript.
Any help is highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Paresh
Edited by: pyadav1 on Nov 14, 2008 1:35 PM

Paresh-
You can still manually set the ID of the column that you want to hide and also reference. In your SELECT statement, you can do something like this:
SELECT id   -- This is the Primary Key
     , my_column displayed_column
     , APEX_ITEM.HIDDEN( 20, my_other_column) hidden_column
FROM my_tableYour hidden column will have an ID of f20 (the first parameter you passed into APEX_ITEM.HIDDEN). You can use just about any ID, but I make sure my ID will not interfere with one that will be generated from APEX. Again, you can fererence the hidden column in the rpeort using "apex_application.g_f20" in PL/SQL.
Thanks,
Dan

How to keep display as Show when using Hide Show region with pagination?

We are trying to use a 'Hide Show' region with pagination. The problem is that if you 'Show' (ie expand) the region and then hit the link for the next page, the next page displays Hidden (ie collapsed). We want to keep the page display as 'show' when you move to the next set of records.
There is a fix in this forum for this issue in version 2.2 (Application Express) but we are on 2.0.0.00.49 (HTML DB). Does anyone know of a similar fix for HTML DB 2?
Ver 2.2 fix is at:

Thanks.
David.

Thanks for your reply.
Running the application install script via SQL Plus using FLOWS_020000 produces result:
NOT COMPATIBLE (Your export may contain calls not supported by your HTMLDB version.)
The wwv_flow_api package routines that are not available in our version appear to be:
create_or_remove_file
create_install
create_install_script
Is there any way to handle these calls in other ways?
Thanks

Scrolling problem with video buttons

Bonjour,
(french and bad english !)
To illustrate my question, see at http://www.8-16-chalonnais.org/Main.html, option 'videos reportages' : this site is under construction.
There are some thumbs witch are buttons,
every button plays a video. (some of them are not finished).
I would like to join the horizontal scrolling bar with the buttons under and the vertical bar with the buttons at the left to show the other buttons outside the page. Every solution I have tried does not work : the link between each button and the reader is removed and I cannot reconnect it.
I hope given a clear explanation.
Could somebody have a solution ?

function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}

Cannot generate a reports region with a search field in an existing app.

I have not found a way of generating a reports region with a search field on an existing page in an existing application.
Can anyone help?
n.b. I am using htmldb with Oracle XE

If it's DPS no. There is no native search available.
You'd have to do the entire thing in HTML.

Box model/none absolute positioning with flash

In recent years none-absolute positioning (or box model positioning) has become the norm with HTML/CSS
this is uselfull for dynamic functions which appear on an event (such as an object which appears when a button is clicked on or a error message that appears when a form box is given invalid input because it automatically inserts itself it the right place.)
One very important example of this is when you have a form which automatically produces an error message and the error message appears bellow the input area which caused it and the rest of the page is pushed down.
With none absolute positioning the developer does not need to worry about this.
But if the objects are given absolute position then it becomes a massive problem, the developer has to go about giving the objects differetn positions dependant on if dynamic objects appear or not
potentially the developer has to consider all possible variables, and code if statements which determine the position of all static objects for all possible variables which dynamic objects could take.
so does flash have a "none absolute positioning" solution to this problem.

Before you get all happy and pleased with yourself, APDivs or Layers seldom work well as a primary layout method. Here are some reasons why:
http://apptools.com/examples/pagelayout101.php
You're much better off using default CSS positioning (which is no positioning at all) along with CSS margins, padding and floats. If you don't believe me, check your page in non-IE browsers with increased/decreased text-sizes (zoom, text only).

Editable region with ecommerce

Can client without dreamweaver update content in an editable region containing Paypal ecommerce buttons?
My client wants to be able to update region with seasonal item photo and add to cart button.


We need to update this empty region with content across 300+ pages, but the basic Find & Replace will not do the trick, as this is a locked region within the child page and therefore -- I believe -- is not 'findable'. Aside from manually updating each page with the tracking pixel (groan!), is there an Ace up anyone's sleeve to help me expedite this task?
Help me understand what you are trying to do, please. The region you show above and are wanting to populate (as I understand it) is not a locked region. It would be completely editable in both template and child pages. However, if what you want is to make changes to a NON-EDITABLE region, you could do that several ways:
1. Use a server-side include to carry the desired content into the non-editable region. The link to the include would be in the non-editable part of the template, but the include file is still editable.
2. Use a DW Library item in the exact same way.
3. Add the desired content in a PHP block at the top of the page, and then just echo it where desired.
The advantage of method 1 is that you edit one file and upload it, and all 300 pages are changed at the server level. The advantage of method 2 is that you edit one library file, and all pages will also be changed, but then you must upload all 300 pages subsequent to that change. The advantage of method 3 is that it, too, is simple both to implement and to Find/Replace when needed, but again, all changed pages need to be uploaded.

Is it possible to automate software instrument parameters in a MIDI region? And alias the region with the automation?

I am trying to track down a detail about how automation works in Logic Pro X.
What I want to know is:
1. Can I draw control-point curves (and smoothly bend them) in a MIDI region to automate a software instrument parameter (and/or smart controls)?
2. Can a region containing this automation be aliased and reused around the timeline (without the automation points being duplicated)?
If this is possible, can someone please post a couple of screenshots - a MIDI region with MIDI Draw automating (for example) the cutoff of an ES M, and screenshots of aliases around the timeline?
thanks!!

First, I'd recommend going to Track>other>new with same instrument. This gives you a blank lane to make a region with no notes.
Now, there are two strategies: do some track automation and then convert it to region. You can go into the local view menu and find the option to view MIDI automation and still adjust it. Now you can make aliases of that region. You need to be careful of accidentally writing new track automation, which is easy to do and can happen if you have 'move automation with regions' on for instance. If you make sure and delete all the track auto for this parameter you should be good (the line should be barely visible black, if it is highlighted in color, that means there is at least one active node at the beginning). If the parameter freaks out, instead of following your curve, you can bet there is track automation fighting with the region automation, you might need to tell the automation menu in the track header to show the parameter in question. None of this is a big deal and after doing it once you'll see.
The other strategy is to assign a controller to a parameter (or use the quick MIDI things on certain instruments - you mentioned ES2, which has that) and you can use the hyper draw in the piano roll. The view tip from the first strategy still works so you can edit the automation in the arrange. I prefer the first strategy because the knob you are automating will still move.
If you go to audio tuts plus (something like that) you can find a tut on the first method that's a few years old, and from Logic 9. Basically the same, you just have to look through different menus for everything.
