Position div's with a table

I've been struggling quite a while trying to properly
position div's using CSS. However being from the old FrontPage
school (shrugg....) I can solve it in 3 minutes by putting a 3
column, 3 row table in the wrapper div. I merge the cells in the
top row and put my header div's in it. Do the same with the bottom
row and put my footer div in it. If I now put the left sidebar,
main content and right sidebar div's in the 3 cells in the middle
row, I now have a page that formats perfectly in different screen
resolutions and browsers.
Since this seems too simple to do, what am I missing?
What is wrong with this approach?

Hello,
If you're going to use tables, you don't need the divs. Just
put the content
into the table cells.
If you're going to use divs, the order of divs in the code
for your layout
could be:
1. Your header div.
2. Your left sidebar div given a width and floated left.
3. Your right sidebar div given a width and floated right.
4. Your main content given a width and assigned a margin
value on each side
equal to the width of the sidebar div on that side.
5. A clearing element, to clear the floats.
5. Your footer div.
DW CS3 has canned layouts including this one.
File>New>Pick from the Layout
list (This one is 3 Column fixed, header, footer)
You can see how it works and change the design to yours.
Take care,
Tim

Setting App Div relative to a Table

Hi. I'd like to set an AppDiv relative to a specific Table cell. So its x-y coordinates are 'locked' witin that cell, but the cell - and its table - may float within the page (for example, always in the center). How to?
Thanks in advance...

First you would insert a relatively positioned <div> container in the table <td> cell (see below)
<td>
<div id="holder" style="position: relative;">
</div>
</td>
Then in the relatively positioned <div> container you would insert your absolutely positioned <div> (see below)
<td>
<div id="holder" style="position: relative;">
<div id="positioned">This is an absolutely positioned container</div>
</div>
</td>
Use some css to style and position the absolutely positioned <div>
#positioned {
position: absolute;
left: 0;
top: 100px;
width: 250px;
height: 200px;
background-color: #FC3;

Question on positioning div elements

I have a wrapper div and a footer div below that. I want to
center the wrapper div in the middle of the page and then position
sub elements within this wrapper div. For example, I would like to
create a "nav" div and an "actual content" div within the wrapper
div. I learned that I can relatively position the wrapper div to be
in the middle of a page regardless of screen width and then
absolutely position the "nav" div and "actual content" within the
wrapper div. The problem with this is that as soon as I absolutely
position the "actual content" div within the wrapper div then the
footer div jumps up the page to be right in the middle of the
wrapper div when it should be located completely below the wrapper
div. The other way of doing it would be to relatively position (or
don't specify) both the nav and actual content divs and just float
the nav to the left. This seems to work but I am wondering why the
footer jumped up when I tried to absolutely postion divs in the
wrapper div. Is there a way to not make the footer jump up and also
what is the standard way of doing this?

This may help you understand positioning a bit -
There are 4 different types of positioning:
Absolute
Relative
Fixed
Static
Here is a brief explanation of each kind of positioning (with
regard to
placement of elements on the page only)....
Position:absolute (or A/P elements)
This does several things -
1. It 'removes' the element from the flow of the code on
the page so that
it can no longer influence the size or position of any other
page element
(except for those contained within it, of course).
2. The absolutely positioned element takes its position from
the position of
its closest PARENT *positioned* element - in the
absence of any explicitly
positioned parent, this will default to the <body> tag,
which is always
positioned
at 0,0 in the browser viewport.
This means that it doesn't matter where in the HTML code the
layer's code
appears (between <body> and </body>), its
location on the screen will not
change (this assumes that you have not positioned the A/P
element within
a table or another A/P element, of course).
Furthermore, the space in
which
this element would have appeared were it not positioned
is not preserved
on the screen. In other words, absolutely positioned elements
don't take
up any space on the page. In fact, they FLOAT over the page.
Position:relative (or R/P elements)
In contrast to absolute positioning, a relatively positioned
page element is
*not* removed from the flow of the code on the page, so
it will use the
spot
where it would have appeared based on its position in
the code as its
zero point reference. If you then supply top, right,
bottom, or left
positions
to the style for this element, those values will be
used as offsets from
its
zero point.
This means that it DOES matter where in the code the
relatively positioned
element appears (, as it will be positioned in that location
(factoring in
the offsets) on the screen (this is true for any placement in
the code).
Furthermore, the space where this element would have
appeared is
preserved in the display, and can therefore affect the
placement of
succeeding elements. This means that the taller a relatively
positioned element is, the more space it forces on the page.
Position:static
As with relative position, static positions also "go with
the flow". An
element with a static position cannot have values for
offsets (top, right,
left, bottom) or if it has them, they will be ignored. Unless
explicitly
positioned, all div elements default to static positioning.
Position:fixed
A page element with this style will not scroll as the page
content scrolls.
Support for this in elements other than page backgrounds is
quirky
There are several other things you need to know:
1. ANY page element can be positioned - paragraphs, tables,
images, lists,
etc.
2. The <div> tag is a BLOCK level tag. This means that
if it is not
positioned or explicitly styled otherwise, a) it will always
begin on a new
line on the screen, and b) it will always force content to a
new line below
it, and c) it will always take up the entire width of its
container (i.e.,
width:100%).
3. The placement of A/P elements *can* affect the BEHAVIOR of
other
elements
on the page. For example, a 'layer' placed over a hyperlink
will mask that
hyperlink.
You can see a good example of the essential difference
between absolute and
relative positioning here -
http://www.great-web-sights.com/g_layersdemo.asp
You can see a good demonstration of why using layers for a
page layout tool
is dangerous here -

Adding a Layer (absolute position div) to a locked page

Maybe I am just not understanding templates but I have a
really simple one that has one editable region called "content". I
want to add a absolute positioned div to the content area but DW
tells me this would require changing code that is locked by the
template. I thought that the editable area automatically put in by
DW would accommodate the added code (css) that DW puts in when
adding a template to the page.
So what is the Editable area called "Head" used for anyways
if not for situations like this?
Thanks

Here's the problem with layers in template child pages, and a
simple
solution.
When you DRAG a layer onto the page in DW (this means you
click on the layer
icon in the Insert Toolbar and drag the layer on the page),
DW wants to put
the code for that layer immediately under the body tag, e.g.,
BEFORE DRAG -
<body...>
<table>
AFTER DRAG -
<body ...>
<div id="foo" style="position:absolute; ...>LAYER
STUFF</div>
<table>
In a template child page, this region is usually not part of
your editable
region, and so the layer's code is rejected by the template
engine. This is
a bad thing.
If instead of dragging the layer onto the page, you use
INSERT | Layer, that
should work provided your cursor is in an editable region,
but since
editable regions are usually within tables or other layers,
you have just
broken one of the rules listed above. This is also a bad
thing.
THE SOLUTION -
Open your template page in DW, and create a special place
where it is SAFE
to put your layers. In code view, find this -
</body>
and click so that your cursor insertion point is just to the
left of
</body>.
Now, use INSERT | Template Objects > Editable Region, and
name this region
"Layer Pad" or something like that.
When you save your template page, all your child pages will
now have the
LayerPad editable region on them.
THE BIG FINISH -
On any child page where you need a layer, just click in this
editable
region, and use INSERT | Layer. Bada bing, bada boom.

Create a Navigational Hierarchy for filtering with the Table API

Hello,
I've built a WAD report acourding to the how to document: "Create a Navigational Hierarchy for filtering with the Table API".
It works great but i dont know How to make the hirarchey to show the key and the text.
Please Advice.
David

Hi Kenneth,
please have a look in the source of the executed Web Application. What is inside of the <div> with the id filter?
You should also find a td tag with id hier_xyz with xyz the filter inside of the <div>-Tag with id filter.
Also check whether you have a javascript error.
Have a look on the Javascript function set_style. Perhaps you can paste it here, than I can have a look.

Help with UPDATE table and database RELATIONSHIPS

HI there, I have been trying to create an update table for
weeks now and keep getting error messages.
The database has a table named:
"books" in the table cells are "idbook" and "book".
"suppliers" in the table cells are "idsupplier" and
"supplierName".
"category" in the table cells are "idcategory" and
categoryName"
They all have a relationships with this table:
"results" in the cells are "idbook", "idsupplier" and
"idcategory".
This "results" table brings all of the above tables together.
When I try to do an update, i am doing one to the results
table. Is this correct?
The updates have problems because when drawing the text to
the update table to view it comes in text form.
When trying to update, it wont becuase all of the cells in
the results table are numeric. This is because of the
relationships.
Can anyone suggest where i may be going wrong.
Ask anything you need to.

What is the best approach to handle multiple FK with single table.

If two tables are joined with each other with more than one ways, for example
MAIN table is (col1, col2,....coln, person_creator_id, person_modifier_id)
PERSON table is (person_id, name, address,........ phone) etc
At database level PERSON_CREATOR_FK and PERSON_MODIFIER_FK are defined.
Objective is to create a report that shows
col1, col2...coln, person creator name, person modifier name
If above two objects are imported with FKs in a EUL and discoverer plus is used to create above report. On first inclusion of person name discoverer plus will ask you to pick the join (provided the checkbox to disable this feature is not checked). Once you pick 'person creator' join it will never allow you to pick person modifier name.
One solution is two create a custom folder with query like
select col1, col2,...coln,
pc.name, pc.address,.... pc.phone
pm.name, pm.address,.... pm.phone
from main m,
person pc,
person pm
where m.person_id_creator = pc.person_id
and m.person_id_modifier = pm.person_id
Second solution is to import the PERSON folder twice in EUL (optionally named one as perosn_creator and other as person_modifier) and manually define one join per table. i.e. join MAIN with PERSON_CREATOR on person_creator_fk and join MAIN with PERSON_MODIFIER table using person_modifier_fk.
Now discoverer plus will let you drag Name from each person folder without needing to resolve multiple joins.
Question is, what approach is better OR is there a better way?
With solution 1 you will not be able to use functions on folder items.
With solution 2 there is a EUL design overhead of including same object multiple times and then manually defining all join (or deleting unwanted joins), and this could be a problem when you have person_modifier and person_creator in nearly all tables. It could be more complicated if person table is further linked other tables and users want to see that information too. (for instance, if person address is stored in LOCATION table joined with location_id and user want to see both creator address and modifier address....now you will have to create multiple LOCATION folders).
A third solution could be to register a function in discoverer that return person name when person_id is passed. This will work perfectly for above requirement but a down side is the report will run slower if they need filters on person names (then function will be used in where clause). Also, this solution is very specific to above scenario, it will not work if you want the report developer the freedom to pick any attribute from person table (lets say, person table contain 50 attributes then its not a good idea to register 50 functions).
Any comments/suggestion will be appreciated.
thanks

Hi
In a roundabout way you have really answered your own question :-)
In my opinion, the best approach, although by all means not the only approach - see below) would be to have the object loaded as two folders with one join going to the first folder and the second join to the other folder. You would of course name the folders appropriately.
Here's a workflow that I use all of the time and one that I teach when I'm giving Discoverer Administrator training. It might help you:
1. Bring in the PERSON folder to begin with
2. Make all necessary adjustments to bring it up to deployment standard. These adjustments would be: folder name (E.g PERSON_CREATOR), item names, item placement, default positions, default aggregation and so on.
3. Create or assign the required lists of values
4. Create any required calculations
5. Create any required conditions
6. Create the first join from this folder to MAIN.
7. Click on the heading for the folder and press CTRL-C.
8. Click on the heading for the business area and press CTRL-V. A second copy of the folder, complete with all of the adjustments you made earlier will be inserted into the business area.
Note: joins are not copied, everything else is.
9. Rename this folder to say PERSON_MODIFIED
10. Rename the items as appropriate
11. Add a join from this folder to MAIN - you're done
Other ideas that I have used and work well would be to use a database view or create a complex folder. Either will work, In both cases you would need to join on some other column other than the ones you referred earlier.
I hope this helps
Best wishes
Michael

Problem with a Table Control Scroll Down.

Hi,
I´m working with a table control in which I select one of the many lines the table contains and I move it into a structure, I delete the data of the table control internal table and I move the selected line back into the internal table to show only that record. My problem is the following:
Whenever I have to scroll down to select a line, the selected line doesn´t appear afterwards. I believe that it´s because the scroll bar disappears and keeps on showing the line where the record I selected used to be and because the selected record is added in the fist line of the TC.
Is there any way of avoiding the disappearrance of the vertical scroll bar? Or how can I show the record added in the first line if the TC only displays the position where the selected record used to be?
This is the logic I use to show the single record.
READ TABLE TI_ASIGLOT WITH KEY PUSH = 'X'.
IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
    MOVE-CORRESPONDING TI_ASIGLOT TO ST_ASIG.
    CLEAR TI_ASIGLOT.
    REFRESH TI_ASIGLOT.
    MOVE-CORRESPONDING ST_ASIG TO TI_ASIGLOT.
    ST_ASIG-CPEND = ST_ASIG-GAMNG.
    MOVE ST_ASIG-CPEND TO TI_ASIGLOT-CPEND.
    APPEND TI_ASIGLOT.
Thank´s and regards.
Lucila

Well, I´m going to anwser my own question. The problem was that in my TC the top field value was the line number of the record I've selected. So the only thing I had to do to fix it was to asign 1 to the field TC-top_line inside the form where I select the record.
READ TABLE TI_ASIGLOT WITH KEY PUSH = 'X'.
IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
    MOVE-CORRESPONDING TI_ASIGLOT TO ST_ASIG.
    CLEAR TI_ASIGLOT.
    REFRESH TI_ASIGLOT.
    MOVE-CORRESPONDING ST_ASIG TO TI_ASIGLOT.
    ST_ASIG-CPEND = ST_ASIG-GAMNG.
    MOVE ST_ASIG-CPEND TO TI_ASIGLOT-CPEND.
    APPEND TI_ASIGLOT.
    W_INI = 1.
ELSE.
    MESSAGE I889(100) WITH TEXT-T07.
    EXIT.
ENDIF.
z_result-top_line = 1.
(z_result is my TC )

Position of columns in a table

Hello,
please help me on how to set the position of columns for a table not for a alv-table at a runtime via coding.
How can we change the positions in ABAP?
Regards
Beserithan

Hi,
I don't see any partcular method in cl_wd_table_column class for setting column position ( in ALV for class cl_salv_wd_column we have one method for this set_postion ).
What you can do probably as a workaround is to remove all columns (remove_all_columns of cl_wd_table ) nad then add columns again in code ( new_table_column method of class cl_wd_table_column and then using add_column of cl_wd_table) in whatever order you want.
Let's see if others can come up with some straightforward solution.
Regards

Working in a doc with inline tables uses 80% of my CPU

Hi everyone,
I'm using Pages 4.0.4, and typing (in table, around table, any where) slows to a crawl when I my document contains inline tables. Using Activity Monitor, I can see my CPU usage jump to 80% when I type in a Pages document with inline tables. It stays at 8% as I type with the very same tables positioned as floating.
I'm working on a six-page document with four or five tables (one of which is a yearly calender with lots of small columns and rows). There are no other fonts besides Helvetica 12pt, and nothing but alphanumeric characters. I've experienced this slowdown before, but I've always put up with it. Now, it's just driving me crazy!
I've tried...
* Validating all my fonts - I found 40-ish minor errors (mostly duplicate font errors), but I didn't know how to fix them.
* Thinning the tables - I read that thinning inline tables so they don't run margin-to-margin can help. It didn't.
If I had to guess, I'd say Pages runs layout calculations with each keystroke so objects can flow with the text. Is there a setting or preference I'm missing to do this less often?
I could float the tables, but every time I change the text above them I have to reposition all of them. I love Pages, and I hate to return to MS Office. However, this slowdown is a deal breaker for me. Any ideas?
Thanks!
Jack
PS - If it helps, I experience the same type of slowdown with Numbers. If the table exceeds several rows by several columns, typing, copying & pasting, etc take forever! I've read that that's because Numbers recalculates the entire sheet with every event, but that seems pretty drastic.

What you describe is perfectly consistent with what you read (I recognized what I wrote).
If tables are floating, they don't move when the text layer is edited. So they have no impact upon recalculations.
When they are inline, the app is so dumb that it behave as if it was recalculating from the very beginning which of course, with these embedded items, requires a lot of time.
AppleWorks designers made a better work on this point but they were old-fashioned ones.
They offered two interesting features :
(a) recalculate only what was really needed
(b) in the Spreadsheet, they gave a menu item allowing us to stop/activate recalculations
Alas, I'm not sure that iWork designers ever open AppleWorks.

Drag a column from one position to another within the table.

Hello All,
In Web Dynpro Java, Is it possible to provide user a functionality with which he/she can move the columns of a table from one position to another ?
Scenario : Users want flexibility to decide the location the columns as per their convinience while they are working with the application.
So can we develop some code or can we use some UI element so that user is able to drag a column from one position to another within the table.
Regards
Mrinalini.

Hi Mrinalini,
Yes this is possible you can try to move the table columns (Change the order). for this you don't need to do additional coding or property change its a default property for web Dynpro java tables.

Flex 4, is it possible to populate a tree component with sqlite table data?

is it possible to populate a tree component with sqlite table data?
If it is, how would I go about doing this?
Thanks
Kristin

Hi Mustafa,
it is true, the function can return component as type. This is more for the scenario, when you want to recognize some component based on some checks, eg.
if(something)
return CHECKBOX_1;
else
return CHECKBOX_2;
so, the use case exists for sure. But of course the application itself is static.
where do you see a scenario for dynamic creation of components?
The only one component which can instantiate new components is the SplitCellContainer, and this is restricted to the drag&drop action from Fragment Bookmark Gallery. And this is again restricted to containers, as Fragment can hold containers as parent component. Of course the container content will be created/instantiated as well (I have coded example with ComponentManager in the Community SDK: Second Functional Application with SDK Components (Online Composition v.2) blog).
As far I know there is no function in SplitCellContainer which would "simulate" the drop of a Fragment today (perhaps worth an Idea on this?). Having that - the scenario would be possible. Today, this can be made partly - but the user would need to drag&drop a prepared fragment with the component.
Anyway, the problems will start after the creation - then it would be require to have also functions to re-position the new created component in some other container - this would be complex probably.

Security based on the position and responsibility of Siebel tables.

Hi Forum,
We have a requirement to show some reports based on OLTP (Siebel Base tables with S_) tables. so we have created a repository and created few reports in OBIEE.
Now we want to implement security based on these tables. Like siebel users will be accessing these reports, So how do we implement security based on the position and responsibility of Siebel tables.
I request to share any links or docs pertaining to above mentioned implementation.
Thanks

Could be interference
AirPort and Bluetooth: Potential sources of wireless interference
Try:
- Reseting the BT headset
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset network settings: Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings. You will have to rejoin all wifi networs and re-pair all BT devices

Div tab with no carige return, is it possible?

HI! Is it possible to have a div tag with no carriage return,
I notice that
if we have an text or an image and insert an div tag with
content in it that
in code view it will automatically add a carriage return (
meaning that in
design view that text or image is not in line with the
content of the div
tag).
Is there a way around this. ( perhaps css? but how?).

HI! for some reason it did work with the code that I am
using. I am using
swfobject to insert a flash button. the swf code is using a
div and when I
tried using the float option the button was not displayed at
all. I have
inserted the swf code at the bottom.
What I tried instead was to create a name for the tag
selector and use it on
the div that holds the flash button to be inlined.
div.inlineflashcontent {
display: inline;
vertical-align: bottom;
float: none;
This way only the that div will be inlined. below is the swf
code that I am
using for the flash insertion. Do you know why the float
option does not
work with the code below?
Paul

Performance issues with pipelined table functions

I am testing pipelined table functions to be able to re-use the <font face="courier">base_query</font> function. Contrary to my understanding, the <font face="courier">with_pipeline</font> procedure runs 6 time slower than the legacy <font face="courier">no_pipeline</font> procedure. Am I missing something? The <font face="courier">processor</font> function is from [url http://www.oracle-developer.net/display.php?id=429]improving performance with pipelined table functions .
Edit: The underlying query returns 500,000 rows in about 3 minutes. So there are are no performance issues with the query itself.
Many thanks in advance.

Like:
- a database version
- how did you test
- what data do you have, how is it distributed, indexed
and so on.
If you want to find out what's going on then use a TRACE with wait events.
