Putting Content in frame

I have created a simple web page with three tables.
The top one has a logo; the second a set of menus generated
using PopMenu Magic by PVII. The third contains the content, and
with incredible brilliance, has the id "content."
I would like to make the web pages selected by the menu items
open in the third table/frame so that the top two remain visible
(and the menus accessible) all the time.
However adding target-frame="content" to the href tag still
makes the page open in a new window.
What am I missing here?

Alot. This is a commonly sought goal by new developers since
it *would*
simplify their lives consderably if it could be done easily.
It's not so
easy.
You can use an IFrame, but then you marry the 900 pound
gorilla of frames.
You can use a server-side include there, but then you a) have
to understand
how includes work, and b) have to figure out how to write the
server
scripting to make the includes get written based on which
button was
clicked, and c) have to know how to do server scripting in
the first place.
For now just make one page link to another page, each with
different
content, and take it one step at a time.
And by the way, get a good book (or even a bad one) on HTML.
The more you
know about this the easier your learning curve will be.....

Tables: Fit Content to Frame

(InDesign CS2)
Since "fit frame to content" is available when you select a frame that contains a table, but "fit content to frame" is not...I'm assuming it's not possible to do that.
I understand that a table can lie well within or outside of its frame, and that can be a nice thing. However, what if I want to make sure the boundaries of the actual table, left to right, take up an EXACT width? Seems like making the frame the exact width I need and then having "fit content to frame" available is what I need.
Am I missing something? Does anyone have a good workaround?

Lisa,
This script will do the job (although the interface is a bit primitive. Just type a number in the units you're using for the horizontal ruler. It displays the "before width" and you can then type the number you want instead. It distributes the extra or the deficit across the existing columns of the table.
//DESCRIPTION: Set Width of Table
// by Dave Saunders
if ((app.documents.length == 0) || (app.selection.length == 0)) { beep() }
aDoc = app.activeDocument;
aSel = app.selection[0];
aTable = findTable(aSel);
tWidth = prompt("Table width", String(aTable.width));
if ((tWidth == null) || (tWidth == "")) { exit() }
n = aTable.columnCount;
w = aTable.width;
for (j = n-1; j >= 0; j--) {
  aTable.columns[j].width = aTable.columns[j].width * (tWidth)/w;
function findTable(obj) {
  if (obj.constructor.name == "Table") { return obj }
  while (obj.constructor.name != "Table") {
    obj = obj.parent;
    if (obj.constructor.name == "Application") {
      errorExit("Can't locate table");
  return obj;
function errorExit(message) {
  if (arguments.length > 0) {
    if (app.version != 3) { beep() } // CS2 includes beep() function.
    alert(message);
  exit(); // CS exits with a beep; CS2 exits silently.
To use the script, copy and paste to ExtendScript Toolkit and save with an appropriate name in the form YourName.jsx in the Scripts folder of the Presets folder of your InDesign CS2 folder (you could put it in a subfolder if you wish). Then to run the script, set-up the appropriate initial conditions (click with the text tool in the table) and double-click the script's name in the Scripts palette.

Putting a "picture frame" around an entire video

Hey there! thanks in advance for the help.
I'm attempting to put a "picture-frame" around a video that will be visible throughout the duration of the movie. Is there any way to do this in FinalCut Pro?
Thanks!

There are some great Frames in the Motion Content. Open Motion using same settings as your FCP project and find the one you like in the Motion Library and drag it to your new Motion project.
Size it to your tastes.
Then open Layers (cmd-4) twirl the disclosure triangle and delete the drop zone.
Now export it. When you bring it into FCP you will have a frame you can place over any video and the video will show inside the frame.
Good luck

I had completed my iDVD project and burned a disc. It worked great! Then someone messed with the project and put a red frame around the opening screen. Now when I burn the project, it no longer has the opening frame. How can I fix?

I had completed my iDVD project, a Wedding Slideshow with pictures and music, and burned it on a disc. It worked great! Then someone messed with the original project on my computer and clicked around and put a red frame around the opening screen that has the Wedding theme with music. Now when I burn the project to make more DVDs, it burns but no longer has the opening frame. It immediately opens to the iMovie slideshow. How can I fix so I can burn the entire project with opening frames?

As Bengt suggested make a disk image of the successfully burned DVD using Disk Utility. Then you can burn copies any time you need one.
In the future once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image and launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was good.
You can then burn it to disk with Disk Utility at the slowest speed available to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatium, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

Fitting Content to Frame to a Path or Mask

We have been asked by a customer to try and achieve the following:
They have a number of eps's of a flat screen TV's. For each TV, there is a path around the outside. We will call this Path 1. There is a second path around the screen of the TV. We will call this Path 2.
Is there a way of placing another image, and fitting content to frame (just like in Indesign), using Path 2 as the bounding box?
We are using both CS3 and CS4.

Mark, while Scripts may not be necessary they can add a level of convenience unattainable with Actions.
As concerns the PAID HELP, the Photoshop Scripting Forum has a couple regulars who, while they may offer their services professionally, still give their advice freely; but in case Adam has no Scripting-experience his needs, should he choose to try a Scripting-solution, might exceed »advice«.
Having only recently started to appreciate and utilize the capabilities of JavaScript for Photoshop myself I may appear overzealous in advocating it, but everybody will have to decide for themselves if they want to give it a try.
With possibly hundreds of images I wouldnt want to rely on the screens (or their paths) to all have the same diameter and a Script can allow for that with transforming the placed image according to the height or width so as to always fill the area completely (thus clipping at the top/bottom or left/right depending on the relation).
And (though too complicated for myself) it would be possible to let Photoshop work off folders and not get stuck by the occasional file that doesnt conform to the naming conventions or lacks a path by ignoring it and documenting unedited files at the end.
Thats always assuming that the photographs of the tv-sets are fairly frontal, because if they are in perspective then the matter gets much more complicated, but what with the allusion to doing it in Indesign I concluded perspectival transformation isnt required anyway.

Shouldn't object style with 'fit content to frame' work with updated images?

I have a script that places pdf files from a list onto pages. The rectangles are built with an object style that fits content to frame. This works, but if the pdf file is then modified, InDesign does not fit the new content to the frame when the link is updated. Is there a reason why the object style does not honor its settings?
Thanks.

CS4 fit content to frame default

Hi all,
Just a quicky, we have just upgraded to CS4 at work (late adopters I know!) and we have an issue with how ID CS4 fits the frame to content by default. The problem with this is it is changing templates of material built in earlier versions of ID, for instance changing ellipse frames to squares, resizing all the frames to fit the content, etc. Is it possible to change this default behavior? All help is appreciated.
Thanks

Hi Guys,
Thanks for the responses and I apologise for the delay in replying, it has been flat out here... Anyway I just want to confirm that the problem still exists. I am unsure how to explain it further although I will try
When the frame fitting option is set to 'fit content to frame' Indesign applies a 'fit frame to content' which the operator must then undo. This especially occurs when placing content into ellipse or polygon frames. Indesign always applies a "fit the frame to content" (which obviously blows away the shape), the operator must then undo the 'fit frame to content' that CS4 automatically applies (crtl+z).
Not sure it is related but we also suffer from a one minute delay upon opening Indesign and Acrobat, the windows "csrss.exe" process goes nuts and sits on nearly 100% cpu usage for about a minute before the program becomes usable. It seems related to the number of fonts installed on the system (around 2000) because if I remove all the fonts, delete the adobefnt files and reinstall the fonts the machine runs fine for a week or so before it bogs down again. I know that this file is not a virus, as we run symantec on our machines, also there is only one copy of this process in taskmanager. Also this has happened across multiple machines with varying hardware. Is there a hard limit on fonts?
Thanks again
Regards Chris

How put content from Bea repository

I can't put content from bea repository to a jsp, i read the e-docs of portal 10, but it didn't work.. someone can help me with that.. some link that show how to do it?
Some tutorial or manual to do it.
PS: I use weblogic portal 10 ??.

There is no API or tooling to approve content in bulk, but you could use the existing API to recursively traverse the content by path and approve as you go. We have an enhancement request covering the need for bulk approval.

After using modify/contents some frames go out of stage dimension

Hello,
I have a question to all you animators out there.
I work in after effects and sometimes do some simple illustrations/animations in flash - where I usually switch the bg colour to gray
as not to see the stage rectangular as it's distracting to me. Then when I have my drawings and a few different frames done I go to
modify/ choose bg colour to white and check contents to frame all the content inside the document - then I want to export it to swf
so I can use it in after effects.
At this point all seems fine, all the frames are in place, however I noticed that frequently when I reopen my flash documet after having done this some frames are outside
the white stage box (usually later frames, the 1st is in place).
How do you deal with this?

Hi all,
Sorry for the slow response - as I'm sure you can understand, running lots of exports takes a few days and so it's taken me a while to test your suggestions properly.
The render completes using the media encoder without crashing (MPEG2 Blu-ray and H.264 Blue Ray both worked), however the picture quality has really blurred:
Original:
MPEG2 Blu-Ray
I also ran it in H.264 Blur-ray and this also appeared blurry. Apologies for lack of a screenshot, I deleted the export to conserve disk space.
This is very similar to the problems I had under File => Export => Movie, which went away after I tweeked the export settings to match as closely as possible the footage (however Premiere then crashed when I tried to export the entire movie rather than just a clip).
Working settings under File => Export which crashed Premiere but prevented the blurriness:
Export
Video and audio
Entire Sequence
Filetype
QuickTime
Video Settings
Compressor: H.264
Frame size: 1280h 720v (1.000)
Frame rate: 29.97 frames/second
Pixel Aspect Ratio: Square Pixels (1.0)
Fields: No Fields (Progressive Scan)
Audio Settings
Compressor: Uncompressed
Sample rate: 48000 samples/second
Channels: Stereo
Sample type: 16-bit
Settings under Adobe Media Encoder
Any thoughts what I'm doing wrong? This is starting to get really frustrating and I'm genuinely wondering if Premiere is suitable for what I'm trying to do. I've another project a month late in getting started because I want to get Premiere to export this so I know I'm not going to run into the same problems again - but I really don't know what else to try? Any ideas?

Suddenly cannot fit content to frame with cmd/shift/E in Mac

I suddenly, when working on newspaper pages from a set of master templates, can no longer fit an image to a frame using the command/shift/E shortcut to fit content to frame. I can fit the image to frame using the pulldown menu, but not with the shortcut. All I get is an error tone. Also, when I click on the image window with the direct selection tool, instead of the image window being selected, you see this frame outside the image window, like the frame it's working with actually is larger or something (I hope I explained that right). Anybody know what's going on here, and how I might can fix it? I'm sure I accidentally changed some setting somewhere.

It would help if you gave details about your version of ID and OS.
The shorcut problem might be due to a switch to a new shorctut set. Any other shortcuts not working? Is the correct set selected when you go to Edit > Keyboard Shorctuts...? Anything else acting strangely? That could indicate a corrupt set of preferences.
When you select an image with the direct select tool you should see the bounding box of the image which might be larger than the frame containing it (is the image cropped?) selecting a frame withthe direct select tool would reveal a text wrap path, if wrap is applied to the frame. Does either of those sound like what's happening?

Can't see the fit content to frame option....

Hi All,
I'm having some issues trying to click on:
Object > Fitting > Fit Content to Frame
This area is simply greyed out and I cant' select the option to do so.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks
Daniel

I just wondered if you can please advise how I could click a button and have the text within the text box automatically resize to fit the frame?
This is not a built-in capability of InDesign. Macinbytes told you that this was the case, and John told you why.
However, InDesign has a scripting interface, so plenty of people have written additional tools to make particular tasks easier. I think that one of these scripts from In-Tools will be exactly what you're looking for.

Scaling content and frame simultaneously

I think the best way to explain our problem is by explaining what we want to do.
We've recently upgraded to CS3 from CS1. In CS1, we would place advertisements in our magazines. The ads might sometimes have a white frame around them (no chance of eliminating them, so not a viable solution). Since the ads didn't always come in perfectly proportioned to their placements, we had to sometimes resize the ads manually, so what we did is we placed the ad image in the file, drew in the frames around the ad (to eliminate the collateral white border) and then use the manual sizing on the top toolbar to resize the ad (at times disproportionately) to its placement. But the content would also resize inside the frame.
This, however cannot be done in CS3, as far as I can see. We follow all of these steps, up to the last step where we manually enter the new size, except when we do that, the content in the frame does not change at all. The frame instead just cuts into the content.
Fitting content to frame doesn't work either, because of that white border that's part of the content to begin with. Does anyone know what option we may set to make this back to how it operated in CS1?

I'm worried about your statement "drew in the frames around the ad." Did you draw something new? The ad should come in with a frame, and if you draw a new frame, it may not be associated in any way with the ad. I do this all the time in CS3 and CS4, and both the frame and content resize together when I click on the scale buttons in the toolbar.
1. Place the item on the page.
2. With the solid arrow tool, click on the object and move in the edges of its frame to where you want them, getting rid of white space.
3. Move the object so that two sides are where you want them (for instance, the top and left line up with the columns or guides).
4. With the tool-bar's "reference point" chosen appropriately (the top left of the object in this example), use the scale items in the toolbar to scale the object up or down. Both the frame and the content should be affected. Or, alternately, click on the lower right corner of the object, and while holding shift and command, move the bottom corner to scale. (Holding command means that the content is resized along with the frame, shift means that the horizontal and vertical scaling will be identical.)

Photoshop Elements 6 and the XML for content type = frame

Hello.
I am working with XML files in Photoshop Elements 6. I am trying to understand the structure for , frames, in the artwork palette. These XML files are more complex than others so where can I get an explanation of this and other content types.
Thank you
David J. Krassen

I have Leopard and PE6 and had no difficulty installing it. The only problem was with 'Bridge', which turned out to be a conflict with a file installed by the 'Opera' browser:
Users/[username]/Library/Application Support/Opera/Widgets/widgets.dat
If you have been using Opera you should remove this and note that if you run Opera again it will reinstall it. Earlier versions of Opera are OK. The presence of this file caused Bridge to hang when selecting 'Home'.
Since removing that file I have had no problems whatever with PE6.

Fit Content To Frame Crashes InDesign CS3 !

Hi
iam try to fit the content to it's frame
if(Utils<Facade::IFrameContentFacade>()->CanFitContentToFrame(UIDList(newPageItemRef)))
ErrorCode err=Utils<Facade::IFrameContentFacade>()->FitContentToFrame((UIDList(newPageItemRef)));
But whenever I execute this methos InDesign CS3 crashes..
Wht could be the reason??
thanks,
nataraj

You probably need to pass the content item and not the frame.
Use IHierarchy to navigate to the first child item of
newPageItemRef and pass that to FitContentToFrame instead.
