Pages- how to connect 2 diff iviews to each 2 columns in a page?

Hi,
I have trouble connecting 2 iviews to each columns on one page:
That is; 1 iview to 1 column and iview 2 to column 2.
The iviews will only connect to column 1 when I do the "Add iview to page" process.
Any hints?
Thanks,
hilde

Hi
Did you try dragging and dropping the iviews to the respective containers in the page layout.Select the particular column with the mouse and then add the iview to it.
Cheers.
Please award points for helpful answers.

How do we print multiple components each in a different page?

hello
I would like to print multiple JPanels (lets say an array) each in a different page.
The question I ask is about the following code
         printerJob.setPrintable(printTable.getInstance(), pageFormat);
              try
                    if (printerJob.printDialog())
                         printerJob.print();
                    }

Lets say that we have the following code. How do we modify it?

Use Set Waveform Attribute on each channel of your data. Set an attribute with name "NI_ChannelName". The value is a string containing the name you wish to call the channel.

How to DELETE the bookmark icons from Safari New Tab Pages, How to DELETE the bookmark icons from Safari New Tab Pages

I struggle to believe that I am the only person experiencing this problem.
I just hope somebody has the decency to spend a couple of minutes replying with a resolution.
Every time I click the + sign on my iPad, Safari to open a new tab page..
I am greeted by loads of icons / boxes that are links to my bookmarks.
I want to delete those icons / boxes from the page
If I want to visit one of my bookmarks I use the bookmark icon at the top right of the page.
If I long press on the icons they do not wobble / delete
How can I delete them ?
I dislike them so much I am beginning to think that I will have to stop using safari,
and use a different search engine.....but I shouldn't have to.

If you don't want to see these bookmarks when you open a new tab and you don't want to delete them you'll need to move them. Now as you probably know there isn't really a move function for Bookmarks in iPad, so what I'd recommend is Tap Bookmarks>Favourites tap one of the bookmarks in this folder and when it loads up save it to another location on your iPad - repeat for all bookmarks in this folder, once done tap Bookmarks>Favourites select EDIT and delete all bookmarks in the favourites folder.
You need to bear in mind that FAVOURITES is simply a folder storage area for Bookmarks so any bookmarks you delete from this folder won't be available under Bookmarks unless you follow the process outlined above.

How to define the size of each column of a GridLayout in HTMLB?

Hi there,
I think everything is in the subject. It seems it is not possible. The GridLayout.setWidth() refers to the grid in general and it is not possible to select a GridLayout column (in order to apply to it a setWidth()).
When I do a GridLayoutCell.setWidth() I can't see any change as well.
Maybe the only possibility is to nest several GridLayout?
Does someone have a clue on this?
Thanks in advance
Renaud
Message was edited by: Renaud Theuillon

Here is my code:
GridLayout gl = new GridLayout();
gl.setCellSpacing(10);
gl.setWidth("50%");
Here it's inside a loop:
GridLayoutCell imageCell = new GridLayoutCell(sapLogo);
imageCell.setWidth("20%");
gl.addCell(++cellrow, 1, imageCell);
GridLayoutCell linkCell = new GridLayoutCell(link);
linkCell.setWidth("40%");
gl.addCell(cellrow, 2, linkCell);
GridLayoutCell radioButtonCell = new GridLayoutCell(radioButtonGroupGUI);
radioButtonCell.setWidth("40%");
gl.addCell(cellrow, 3, radioButtonCell);
I tried to change the percentage values but it never works how I want. I need the first column to be very thin.

How to use a vertical line as column separator in Pages?

I have a two-column document (a questionnaire) in which I'd like to have a thin vertical line separating the text columns for the sake of clarity. I've tried inserting a floating line using "Insert Shape" but it doesn't appear to like living between the columns. I see these column separators quite a bit in published multi-column layouts, so I figure that I'm not completely crazy. Can anybody offer a suggestion?
Charlie Perdue

Thanks... that did it! I had (mistakenly) assumed that once the line was "floating" that it wouldn't interact with the text any more, so that I didn't have to worry about the whole "wrap" issue.
Thanks for the quick response.

How to assign a iview to more than one page at a same time

Hi Experts,
I have created 40 pages. I have to assign ivews to these pages. One of the iviews is common to all the pages. Going to each page and assigning the iview to that page will take alot of time. Is there a way in which i can add an iview to more than one page at the same time?
Thanks in advance,
Prisford Pereira.

Hi
You can do that using XML Content and Actions.
You can write XML in specified format and upload it to portal, that will automatically create the content for you in PCD. You can create iviews, pages, assign iviews to pages etc.
More details are available at the how to guide.

Hi. I'm running MacOS X 10.3.9 on a Mac Powerbook (with all of Apple's latest Security Updates installed. It is a virgin installation and no other software programs have been installed). I then installed Norton Personal Firewall 3.0.2 in order to monitor all my ports.
By default, Norton Personal Firewall (NPF) is not set to log the number of outgoing connections for port 80, although port 80 is the port typically used by most web browsers to contact other sites on the web. If you disable port 80, then your browser will not be able to function or access the web. Therefore it is mandatory that you leave that port open. But what if some unknown hacker wrote a Trojan program to specifically ferry information out of your computer and back to him using that port, then there'd be no way to stop it once the Trojan was in place. If you disabled the port to prevent it, then you'd also disable yourself from the web. If you opened the port for your browser, then the trojan would have free and open access. At least that is the theory that has me wondering about the seemingly high number of outgoing port 80 connections displayed in my NPF logging window. Therefore, I'd very much like to find out if other users who are running a version of Panther with NPF are experiencing the same high connections behavior on port 80.
To create the scenario for this behavior, basically you just open your NPF panel and enable all logging for port 80 (by default it is disabled). For those of you who don't specifically know how to do this, the following is the directions . . .
. . . Open your NPF Service Settings pane. From this pane, highlight the service called Web Sharing Port 80. Click the Edit button at the bottom of the selection window. A new pane will then show the controls named Ports, Logging, and Notification. Bring forward the Logging controls and enable both checkboxes for Allowed and Denied for the Outgoing direction. Click Save and close the window.
Once the above is done, close all other windows and open your NPF Logging window on your desktop and keep it visible for you to look at. Clear all existing entries in the log so you'll start with a clean slate. With everything set up and a web connection available, open your Safari browser (or any browser) to an online web site. On my computer, my Safari bowser is set to open to Apple's website - www.apple.com. Once the browser is open, Apple's website is then displayed.
The result . . . surprisingly, after only a few seconds, a HUGE number of port 80 TCP connections to that website address start to show up and flow into my log. In a matter of only 3 or 4 seconds, at least 250 separate TCP connection entries will show up in my log, and they all have the same web address. If I then click on anything on the page or surf to any other website, the log entries will change to the new site address and start up again, and in some cases, in a matter of less than a minute the number of entries can easily reach into the thousands. I've seen 20,000 entries or more flow into my log after a couple of minutes. And the only way to stop the madness and the entries is to disconnect from the web. Those many entries and this behavior does not seem normal to me, no matter what port is selected and no matter what log settings are enabled. A dozen to 15 or 20 entries for a given site I can understand (I've been told some browsers can open at least 10 connections at a time), but hundreds to thousands, I cannot. I can't understand why any program under any circumstance would need to generate those many log entries in such a short time frame. My problem is I have nothing to compare this data to, I only have my suspicions and have no way of knowing whether this behavior is normal or not. So I am asking for others to make a comparison on their computer if you are running any version of Panther and Norton Personal Firewall and give me your results so I can determine what is normal or not. I've heard of certain hacker attacks called TCP flooding and other forms of attacks, and I don't want my computer to have been secretly taken over by a hacker or the initiator of such attacks unknowingly. Furthermore, this is not anything an average user would even normally notice, simply because Port 80 logging is not usually enabled in NPF. Nevertheless, I need to find out the root of this problem and learn whether this is normal. Other than these high number of connection entries, my web surfing seems normal and I haven't yet experienced any seeming sluggishness accessing sites. Any help anyone can offer I would appreciate. Thanks to everyone in advance.

Mac OS X (10.3.9)

But all those connections are how the web works. Each HTML page has dozens or more links. Each graphic or other page element is a new HTTP request on port 80 back to the originating server (or another server even). So it's normal to have a lot of port 80 connections going out if you surf the web.
You can see the individual elements that make up a page in Safari by going to the "Window" menu and showing the "Activity" window. I see CNN's web site tonight has 113 items on its home page. Apple's is 41. My home page is 10. So it's easy to get a lot of connections.
Some applications also use port 80 to check for updates, so you might see the occasional port 80 connection even when you're not surfing the web. These are also nothing to worry about.

Jyothi,
You can set the group Frame's property Page Break After to Yes. Then each group will come in new page.
