Post to HTML help- strange format, and no QT movies...

Hi folks,
I'm having a little trouble with the "export to HTML" feature of keynote. Specifically, I have a presentation with some very nice animations. I understand that keynote normally doesn't save these as part of the HTML version.
OK, I'm fine with that. So I converted the animations in quicktime movies, popped the movies into the presentations in place of the animations, and guess what? It still doesn't work.
OK, I'm fine with that. (Not really, but hey.) So I decide instead to make the animation into a flash thingie, and put either the flash thingie or QT into dreamweaver. And the site just won't incorporate into dreamweaver- and it looks like all the files are some kind of flash files instead of HTML. I don't get it.
My question is, how is the best way to make a keynote presentation with a few minor animations into something that people can view on the web, animation intact?
Thanks in advance,
Mike Kaplan

All you'll ever get with the HTML export are images and nav arrows.
You could, however, export portions as movies (as you said you did) and edit the exported HTML to replace the big images with your movies. I'd stay away from Flash if you really want it to look good, or, make a copy of your file and delete everything but ONE slide each time, and export that one slide as SWF, then place that on the HTML page.
What you'd get is a slide show type preso that has video or flash on certain html pages, in place of the image. Make sense?

Need some beginner help on formatting and images

Just getting started with ID so am going through the learning process and could use a little help getting past some of the road bumps.
Are ID character and paragraph styles similar in use and effect as those in Word? In other words, are there important differences in when to use text styles and paragraph styles? Do they cascade? Did I make a mistake by setting up two styles, one character and one paragraph, and applying them to a paragraph? Is there a good practice anywhere where you don't use a paragraph style to set character styling but instead use a character style and a paragraph style together?
Get the idea? I'm looking for sort of an ID styling 101.
Thanks in advance
Tom

No Style is not a style. It is a lack of style. It exists in the list of
styles because there has to be something there to choose from when you
choose to base a style on nothing, or when you want to *not* apply a
paragraph style to a paragraph. When you don't want any style, you want
no style (hence the name). The only time I deliberately apply No Style
to a paragraph is when I want to "lock down" the formatting so that it
won't change if I change a style (because No Style has no definition to
change).
Basic Paragraph is a special style that can't be deleted from the list
of styles. For my books, I like to make a text style, give it a name
like "text", and then base everything on that. As far as I can tell, the
danger in basing everything on Basic Paragraph is simply that you may
have it defined differently in another document and if you copy material
from one document to another, everything will change (because everything
is based on Basic Paragraph and Basic Paragraph is defined differently).
Again, as far as I can tell, this is no different than having two
documents, both basing everything on a style called "text" and defining
"text" differently in those two documents. Either way, if you copy
styled text from one document to another, you may see changes if the
style exists in both documents and is defined differently.
Your particular workflow depends mostly on the people you're working
with. It's certainly possible to set up a Word template containing all
the styles your writers will need and then tell them to use them. Then
you won't have to do anything except Place the Word file. My experience,
though, is that 99% of Word users don't even know styles exist, so this
may require some education...
In my workflow, I almost always get Word files after they've been
written (and usually formatted to death). I Place Word files, keeping
formatting, and then search and replace the formatting that I want to
keep for styles and then select all and Clear Overrides. This way I get
to keep the author's hard work but dump all the garbage the author
introduced.

Strange formatting and symbols appearing in podcast description fields

Hey guys!
Hope you're enjoying your weekend so far. I'm having problems with the text formatting in the podcast description sections. For some reason strange characters are added in the podcast description fields that aren't there when I initially enter them in. Examples "nbsp;" "mdash", "ersquo;s". I feel like its related to the font or when I use punctuation. Can anybody here point me to the solution?
Check out what I mean here. This happens in both the main description and in the individual show descriptions:

Thank you in advance guys! Really appreciate it

These are incomplete html codes for characters - you've left off the ampersand which must begin them.
is a non-breaking space
’ is the apostrophe or quote - '
&emdash; is a wide dash.
Firstly: you cannot use these named codes in XML, you have to use the numerical equivalents. If you are handwriting the code you can use ' for the apostrophe. But in general you should avoid using any of these codes: the iTunes Store usually does not render them but displays them. You should stick to plain text and paragraph returns. You've used a straightforward apostrophe elsewhere - 'She's been pIcked up by al the major labels' - and that's worked; so use that instead of the quote, use a straight dash - instead of the emdash, and replace the non-breaking space with an ordinary one.

Help with formats and rendering.

I am new to final cut pro, so am still getting the hang of everything. Whenever I put my files into the timeline they need to be rendered before I can play them, same thing when I make a small change with a clip, this means I am only editing about half the time, and the other half I'm waiting for my files to render. I tried to set up Easy Setup but wasn't sure of the format. All my video files end in .m4v. I also was thinking about getting more RAM to help speed up the rendering proccess and let me use the multiclip editing (which only plays frame-by-frame or crashes the program currently), does anyone know if that would help? I'm using a 15 inch MacBook Pro with 2.4 GHz Intel Core Duo 2, 2GB of RAM, and 52.91 GB available on the hard drive. Thanks!

It sounds like it's just the standard pixelization when the action is too fast for the bit rate. I don't know how you created the DVD, but you need to increase the bit rate of the video.
If you did it in iDVD, I think the only way to do that is to go into the Project Info and set the encoding to Professional Quality. That's iDVD-speak for two-pass variable bit rate which will always be the best quality. It will take longer to encode, and it won't encode in the background, but it's worth it. Depending on your video, it will also let you fit a longer movie on one disc without a DL disc.
If you're using iDVD, once you get a creation you're happy with, be sure to do File Menu---Save As Disc Image... instead of just burning a DVD. The resulting file will let you burn multiple copies quickly (using Disk Utility) instead of re-encoding every copy.

Need help with format and reinstall of leopard

hey guys. I am having major problems with my MacBook. I have been using it for over a year with no problems, however last night it crashed big time. Data loss isnt an issue, as I did a full backup the night before. I need to know if it possible to format the hard drive through the terminal. I have been trying to do so with no luck as the drive continually gives me the error "resource busy." it does this in terminal, single-user mode and disk utility off of the DVD. I am pretty savvy with all but the most complicated terminal work. How do you check running processes and end them through the terminal? I think if I can fix that, I might be able to format the drive. Its havng b tree and leaf errors through fsck. It may need to be replaced. Let me know what is this best way to format the drive and get it back to a blank slate through the terminal and fix the resource busy problems.

If you boot the "offending" Mac as a FW target disk, there should be no permissions issues on that drive. Permissions are controlled by the OS which will not be loaded when the computer is booted into target disk mode. If the target disk is connected to a running Mac, you should be able to treat the drive just like any other external FW drive. At that point, you should be able to delete any existing partitions on the drive, create (a) new one(s) and "zero out" the drive. There is an "Ignore permissions on this drive" option that should be selected. I can't imagine any logical reason that you could not reformat the drive in this manner.

Help with formats and loading videos on to the Zen Vision M 30

Recently I purchased a my Vision M. I've not had much trouble installing videos or music. Then the other day, I began to have problems. Can anyone tell me exaclty which formats are supported and why the ones that show as supported will not transfer? aiv won't transfer, wmv, mpeg wo't either.All the videos I've transfered are now in wmv format. Lately all the videos I try to transfer will not transfer. I get the message that the conversion was unseccessful but I have no idea why or how to fix it. I've downloaded the newest firmware.

Thread closed. DVD ripping is illegal in some countries and a grey area in others. We cannot allow discussion on this topic.

Problem with Adobe Reader 9 and HTML Help, IE 7 and Firefox

Hello everyone
I have some Problems with the Adobe Reader 9.1.0 and different browsers.
If I want to open a PDF document in one of these browser the browser-window freezes for 30 seconds and the document is built-on line by line.
The Trouble is that if the document is comlete loaded an i want to scroll down, the windows freezes again and the document starts again with built-on...
I have tried to open the documents with Reader 8.1.3 and this works fine, but i need to open the documents with Reader 9.1.0 because this is a customer preference to open the document with the newer version!
Sorry for my english but i hope my problem is understandable :-)
Does anyone know how to solve this problem?
kind regards
Marcel

1. It happens with any file i want to open in browser.
2. The Problem is specific to browser. When I open a document in the Reader application everithing works fine.
kind regards

HTML Help Workshop; creating the *.chm file

I'm about to create the documentation for a large LabVIEW
automation project. I would also like to use this
documentation as the content for my help-file used by the
LabVIEW program (a *.chm or a *.hlp-file) via the
Control Online Help.VI.
The question is, what is the most optimal way to create this document,
without having to do the job almost twice ?
Normally I would create the documentation as a Word-document.
But as far as I see, the help-file system has to be created by the
MS HTML Help Workshop program, and that uses a large collection
of html-files to compile into the CHM file. And the html-files that
can be exported from Word aren't optimal, are they, with
a lot of extra code etc...
Somebody have obvious
ly looked at this problem before me.
What are the tips, tricks and suggestions around ?
Martin

For everbody else in the audience, check out
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/htmlhelp/ht
ml/vsconHH1Start.asp to download the free HTML help workshop. It is a
package which takes a set of HTML files and generates a standard win2k/XP
helpfile.
However, your point is completely true: it just a major pain to make a
"pretty" version of both offline and online help. Both documents can have
the same content: a section explaining each menu item, several sections to
explain common tasks, a section explaining terms, etc. I dont see a huge
difference in usability as long as you create a union of material.
As for exporting I haven't found a good solution. As you've seen, you must
have the seperate HTML files for the help compiler. That's how the table of
contents, etc is generated. For my current project, I maintain that as a
frontpage web and apply a cascading style sheet. I didn't find a good way to
(automatically) split the word document into several HTML files or join the
frontpage web into a single organized word file. It wasn't a huge issue,
because I ended up using printed material as an installation guide and
online help as program documentation.
The one particularily useful thing was programming a custom "document my
progam" VI which exports using my special documentation format. Of course
that is really only suitable for the programmer's reference section. However
I really, really, really hated using Print -> VI documentation and
reformatting every time. I'm sure you'll soon notice that it gets tiring.

Can I permanently disable the navigation pane in HTML help?

My company has a web-based application on MicroStrategy platform.
I have created a customized WebHelp to replace the MicroStrategy out of the box help and that works just fine.
We are developing the MicroStrategy Office add-in for Excel for our clients.
Once installed, a CHM file is copied to the client's local hard drive.
We want to replace this with our own customized help.
I have created a CHM file with ONE topic that redirects the clients to our customzied WebHelp with content for the add-in.
The one topic has a redirect in the HTML header code as follows:
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;URL=https://customhelp.htm#AddIn_Introduction.htm" />
That is working fine in my testing.
Here is my problem...
The HTML Help Viewer opens and automatically hides the Navigation Pane and displays the WebHelp (navigation pane, menu bar and topic pane).
But, the HTML Help Viewer still has the Hide/Show button to Hide/Show the navigation pane for the HTML help.
Is there ANY way to disable this or hide it or let it stay there but disable the navigation pane?
As always, any assistance would be appreciated.
Thanks --
Michael F Weart

Amebr and Priyank --
Thanks - that did exactly what I wanted it to do.
It did not work in my testing, but I think the KEY point that I missed was the sequence of unchecking the options in the Window setup.
Now I have a one topic CHM help file that automatically redirects to my WebHelp on my application server.
The CHM opens and automatically redirects to my WebHelp and the WebHelp (frameset and all) display in an HTML Help Viewer window that has no HTML Help Viewer navigation buttons.
One last note, the WebHelp displays with the Contents/Index/Search for WebHelp included in the presentation.
I have not deployed this in a non-test environment so I may still run into issues but so far it is good.
THANKS for all the help.

[PLEASE HELP!] .m4v and .mpeg4 Audio Export problems (QT 7 pro)

When i try to export any clips to .m4v (movie to ipod) or .mpeg4 the video is exported but has no sound. When i select "export to .mpeg4" and click on "options" it says "audio: no audio track in source movie". This is the same message displayed on all the clips i have tried to export.
Does anyone know how i can record the audio for .m4v files or .mpeg4 files?
Thankyou so much in advance for your help.

I'm using Quicktime Pro v 7.0.4 on Mac. I tried exporting Quictime mpeg4 to iPod format and get only video but no audio! And I'm talking Apple all the way. These files were made from a Sony digital camera with the digital video record option.
Believe most (if not all) Sony digital cameras still use MPEG video format. As such, the files contain a "muxed" stream consisting of blocks of video data interspersed with blocks of audio data for A/V synchronization. As Kirk alluded to above, QT is a "frame-to-frame" sync application and does not fully support "muxed" (e.g., MPEG1, MPEG2, VOB, some AVI, MJPEG, etc.) formats.
I do use a 3rd party program called Snapz Pro X to capture to .mpeg4 and these files export just fine to iPod format!
Good solution for capturing streamed video but not the best here. As you suggested, use a third party, MPEG based application like iSquint (free) or, better yet, MPEG Streamclip (free) for one-step conversion with audio.
I tried to convert the mpeg4 format to MOV format and then convert MOV to m4v but no audio there.
No surprise here. If you check your first MPEG4 file you will see that no audio track was present following the initial conversion and no amount of further conversions will add a non-existent audio track.

Can't get a Visual posting format...giving me HTML on both "Visual" and "HTML" using Firefox 3.6.16 on a Mac.

Since yesterday evening, when I go to put in one of the posts I make on my blog, http://underthelobsterscope.wordpress.com, I only get the HTML posting format and not the Visual format (it comes up HTML as well). Cannot find anything that changes this back to the way I like to use it. This problem does not occur in Google Chrome or in Safari.

How to format and send html email using utl_smtp

Hi,
I need to send email in the html format from within the database using utl_smtp. I am really not interested in creating os level file using "set markup html on spool on" and sending that as an html attachment. Can someone please give a code?
1. Output of a select needs to be emailed (for example : select empid, name from emp, salary)
2. Certian cells for example salary < 4800 needs to be higlighted in Red color
3. I need to send email which is having more than 32767 characters (I can not use varchar2 field)
I have reffered to following url on asktom:
http://asktom.oracle.com/pls/asktom/f?p=100:11:0::::P11_QUESTION_ID:1739411218448
However it does not help.
If someone has a sample code with any select from a table, it would be a great help.
Regards
Sudhanshu Bhandari

There have been many very good threads on sending email using the UTL_SMTP on the forum including threads that deal with HTML formated mail.
The basic process is to the same as with sending regular (non HTML) mail, but you add some additional headers to the mail message as well as additional formatting to the message body (e.g. HTML tags as needed).
Specifically you need to add the two following headers:
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-type: text/html

On my new iPad 4, all of a sudden the mail screen went to a vertical format and I can't change it back to horizontal. Help!

The mail screen on my iPad 4 all of a sudden went from the normal horizontal format to a vertical format, and I can't change it back. Help!

You should really start a new discussion because many times people will not even look at a solved post. It's one thing if you read the post and the solution works for you, but to add onto a solved post, especially when you have a different problem than the original person that posted, you might not get the help that you need.
I will give it a try. Close the iBooks app and reboot the iPad.
Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

Airplane help with Webhelp and HTML Help

Hi. We are generating 2 outputs using Robohelp v.6.0: HTML
Help and WebHelp. Standalone they both work fine. The context
sensitive .chm works too. Problems are:
1.) the primary help (Webhelp) does not appear - there isn't
any error msg either.
2.) when an invalid url is used the secondary help file does
appear (HTML help). But this doesn't happen with the correct url of
the primary help - Webhelp
Isn't there supposed to be a reference to the mapping in the
<head> of each htm file?
Can anyone help on this topic? many thanks!

First, move the styles from the form generator to the <head> of your document. Otherwise there is a possibility browsers could ignore the invalid code.
Then move your form div inside the banner div and set the attribute float:right; in your CSS for the form div. Then you should be good to go.
