Question about editing a Dreamweaver template

I used a #2 template from http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/dreamweaver_custom_templates.html
and have muddled through editing it and have done "ok" by my standards.
One unresolved issue I have is how to put something "UNDER" my left navigation bar.
If you look at my site http://mpalitigation.com/index.html you will see a paypal button waaaay down on the left side, I was hoping
to put that button under the navigation links but not right with them. I tried doing a crash course on float, clear, etc..but
the best I could do was clear after the navigation bar float left but then the content in the middle is pushed down below the end of the navigation bar.
Any help would be appreciated.
The related CSS code is
.leftnavigation {
    width: 192px;
    margin: 70px 0px 0px 0px;
    padding-left: 8px;
    float: left;
    list-style-type: none;
.leftnavigation a{
    margin-left: 0px;
    width: 156px;
    padding-left: 15px;
    padding-top: 5px;
    padding-right: 20px;
    padding-bottom: 5px;
    float: left;
    color: #364957;
    font-size: 10px;
    font-weight: bold;
    font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
    text-decoration: none;
    background-image: url(images/nav_normal.jpg);
    background-repeat: repeat-x;
    background-position: 0px 0px;
    border-bottom: 1px solid #999;
.leftnavigation a:visited{
    color: #364957;
.leftnavigation a:hover{
    color: #ffffff;
    background-image: url(images/nav_down.jpg);

The page you have linked is not a child page of a DW template.
Anyhow, if I remove your PayPal form from its current location, and place it like this (note the inline styling), it seems to work OK -
<div style="width:190px;float:left;">
                <ul class="leftnavigation" style="float:none;overflow:hidden;">
                    <li><a href="index.html">HOME</a></li>
                    <li><a href="subrates.html">SUBPOENAS</a></li>
                    <li><a href="sumrates.html" >SUMMONS</a></li>
                    <li><a href="investrates.html" >INVESTIGATIVE SERVICES</a></li>
                    <li><a href="clientlogin.html" >CLIENT LOGIN</a></li>
                    <li><a href="contact.html" >CONTACT US</a></li>
                 </ul>
<form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post" style="width:180px;margin:15px 0 0 15px;">
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_s-xclick">
<input type="hidden" name="hosted_button_id" value="39PHD4X5DP57N">
<input type="image" src="https://www.paypalobjects.com/en_US/i/btn/btn_paynowCC_LG.gif" border="0" name="submit" alt="PayPal - The safer, easier way to pay online!">
<img alt="" border="0" src="https://www.paypalobjects.com/en_US/i/scr/pixel.gif" width="1" height="1">
</form>
</div>
Note that I have also wrapped the combination of the navigation and the form in a containing div.

Questions about editing with io HD or Kona 3 cards

My production company is switching from Avid to Final Cut Pro. I have a few editing system questions (not ingesting and outputting, just questions about systems for the actual editors - we will have mac pros with either kona 3 or io HD for ingest and outputs)
1) Our editors work from home so they most likely will be using MacBook Pros - Intel Core 2 Duo 2.6GHz 4GB computers with eSata drives to work on uncompressed HD, will they be able to work more quickly in FCP if they are using the new Mac Pro 8-Core (2 Quad-Core 2.8GHz Intel Xeon) or will the mac book pro's be able to hold their own with editing hour long documentaries, uncompressed HD
2) Will having an AJA Kona 3 (if we get the editors mac pros) or io HD (for the mac book pros) connected be a significant help to the editor's and their process, will it speed up their work, will it allow them to edit sequences without having to render clips of different formats? Or will they be just as well off without editing with the io HD?
I'm just trying to get a better understanding of the necessity of the AJA hardware in terms of working with the editors to help them do what they have to do with projects that have been shot on many formats- DVCPro tapes, Aiptek cameras that create QTs and P2 footage.
Thanks

1. with the IoHD, laptops become OK working with ProRes and simply eSata setups. Without the Io, they can't view externally on a video monitor (a must in my book). It will not speed up rendering a ton, nor will it save renders of mixed formats. The idea is to get all source footage to ProRes with the Io, and then the Io also lifts the CPU from having to convert ProRes to something you can monitor externally on a video monitor, and record back to any tape format you want... all in real time.
2. Kona 3's on Towers would run circles around render times on a Laptop... no matter what the codec, but the Kona does not really speed renders up. That's a function of the CPU and just how fast is it. (lots of CPU's at faster speeds will speed up render times).
I'd recommend you capture to ProRes with Io's or the Kona 3 and don't work in uncompressed HD. You gain nothing doing it quality wise at all. And you only use up a ton of disk space (6 times the size in fact) capturing and working in uncompressed HD, which from your post, you're not shooting anyway. The lovely thing about ProRes is that it's visually lossless, efficient, and speeds up the editing process. Mixing formats can be done, but it's better to go to ProRes for all source footage, and edit that way.
With either the Kona or the Io, you then can output to uncompressed HD tape... that's what they do for you no matter what codec you've edited in. ProRes is designed to be the codec of choice for all HD projects when you're shooting different formats especially... Get them all singing the same tune in your editing stations, and you'll be a much happier camper. Only reason to buy laptops is portability... otherwise you're much better off with towers and the Kona 3 speed wise.

IWeb 1.1.1 download PLUS: Question about iWeb 2.0 templates

I read the notice up there that iWeb 1.1.1 has been released to address certain issues. I went to:
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/iweb111.html
and saw a download situation there. So, if I click download, then everything falls into place, just like in the software updates in the OS X system? Or if not, then I have to click to install something? But does it all go into the right place afterwards?
iWeb 2.0 question:
I am going to buy iWeb 2.0 when it is available. However, is there any news about what kind of TEMPLATES 2.0 will have? Will 3rd party templates bought prior to 2.0 function in iWeb 2.0?
Lorna in Southern California

Lorna, I am pretty sure you already have
1.1.1............
OH, I just now checked and that is correct. I noticed that the format of the announcement looked different and in my mind, that signalled a newer update. Wrong.

Newbie question about editing template

I'm new to dreamweaver and I've been getting the hang of things but I'm stuck on editing my navigation bar. I know this might seem pretty beginner but I am very new to code and designing website.
I've been working on a website template and I've been mostly editing it from design than code. But here's my problem. This is how the navigation bar looks in live view:
http://img684.imageshack.us/i/pic2me.jpg/
But when in design view, the navigation bar disappears.
I looked through the code and the template doesn't include any of the navigation bar text so I can't adjust it in the code.
Does anyone know what I should do?
Thank you!

We need to see the code to comment.
How has the nav bar been inserted into the page?
Are you using Spry in Dreamweaver?

Portal Unstructured Template Question About Edit Links

Hi, I have an unstructured template that I'm making. If I want to use an image for my edit link instead of using this #PAGE.EDITPAGE.LABEL#
How would I block someone who is not allowed from editing a page from seeing the image?

Hi Lorenzo,
you can create a new ivew based on the component com.sap.km.cm.navigation or just copy the iView <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/e8/e1401acdfd11d5994200508b5d5211/frameset.htm">Link List</a> located under "Portal Content / Content Provided by SAP / End User Content / Standard Portal Users / iViews / com.sap.km.iviews" and add it to your portal page.
Here you find more information about <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/b6/29892e91601940bb7a2cd673a1dff5/content.htm">KM Navigation iViews</a> in general.
After that you go to "Organize Entries" and create some links via Links(Context menu) -> New -> External Link (Internal Links are lins to documents or folders inside KM).
The last thing you have to do is to set the correct permissions. For that you go to "Content Administration -> KM Content -> documents / Links" where you should see your created links and use the context menu to go "Details" -> "Settings" - "Permissions". Remove the group everyone and add the group of users who should be the only ones to see the link.
Do this proccess for every link and you should be done.
Hope this helps,
Robert

A question about editable regions

Thanks for helping out self-taught, little experienced, non-coder....
I am building a new site and would like to use templates and nested templates (I know how to do that). The page I would make my template from can be found here - www.sttimothysanglican.org/Home.html. My question is this, how can I set up 2 nested templates with different content colors? In other words on some pages I would like the white area to be black and in all cases this is the area that needs to be editable.
Thanks again for your advice.

Hi
Style and content are seperate issues.
Style: My approach would be to give <div class="content"> a "Make Attribute Editable..." in the Modify > Templates menu.
Now becuase there is already a class... perhaps give it an id and put in a default value (once in there you'll see what I mean by 'value'. Otherwise your code won't validate with a blank id attribute on the tag. I'd make the default value the 'most often' choice of background colour.
Then in your css file assign the colour. Now you will have to manually asign the 'less often' colour to the pages you want to do this to - with the page open choose Modify Template Properties and you'll find the id listed. You can style all sorts of aspects then using #black h2, #black h3 (colour:white;} for reversed out headings on the black areas.
Content: ... is that not the usual editable area within a nested template? I may be misunderstanding what you want to achieve.
Hope this has helped... I've ripped through this explanation somewhat but if you're as comfy with it all as I think you'll figure it. All the best.

Questions about editing podcasts

I just got my MacBook Pro and switched over recording my podcast to GarageBand and I have a couple of questions:
1) Is there a location where the raw audio is stored? There are sometimes where I edit a piece but then want to go back and retrieve a part of the audio I cut or does GB delete the audio as you go along?
2) Is there a way to save a single picture/"album art" that will stay the whole time the podcast is played instead of dragging the picture to fit the length of the show in the "podcast" track or by playing the file in iTunes and dragging the picture into the album artwork space?
3) Is there a way to put in ID3 information before exporting to mp3?
4) Not really a GB question, but is there a way to capture audio that is playing on the mac i.e. making sound clips from a DVD, creative sound blaster cards have the "What U Hear" option, is there something similar to this on the mac?

1) Is there a location where the raw audio is stored?
http://www.bulletsandbones.com/GB/GBFAQ.html#aiffsstored
There are sometimes where I edit a piece but then want to go back and retrieve a part of the audio I cut or does GB delete the audio as you go along?
GB's edits are non-destructive, jsut drag the edge of the region out, the audio is still there.
4) is there a way to capture audio that is playing on the mac
get Audio Hijack, or WireTap

How can I recover deleted folders - also - question about editing/deleting msf files

Context: My wife accidentally deleted a series of folders from Thunderbird v.24.6.0
She says that the system warned her that there was "not enough space" or something like that (she doesn't remember clearly) and asked her if she wanted to "delete them permanently" (or something like that), but she pressed "yes" anyway. She then freaked out, and when I came in to see what she was screaming and crying about, she told me the above story.
SO, after spending the last 2-3 hours reading through help articles and finding my local Mail file/structure, learning about Mork and msf and compacting and X-Mozilla-Status codes, downloading Notepad++ and poking around through some of the files to familiarize myself with their format ... here I am trying to learn how to restore the folders.
Here is where I am at so far:
1. When I went to the Activity Manager, it shows the folders that were deleted, one below the others in a list with the title "Deleted folder foldername" with a dozen different folder names.
2. When I look for the one of the folders that was deleted in the Mail/path/foldername" - I open it (the one without the file extension) in notepad++ and it is empty. There only exists line 1 and there is no text in it (vs. the other folders I check that have the emails in standard From_line format.
This concerns me greatly and leaves me stuck. Did TB actually delete and compact the folder? Are they really deleted, not just X-Mozilla-Status deleted?
3. I don't understand how to restore a folder. I know I can go into a folder and change the X-Mozilla-Status for individual messages - but how to I restore the entire folder? I don't understand how the msf related to the deleted files/folders. It seems like there would be an entry/code somewhere that tells TB - "don't read this entire folder" that I could reverse/edit. I can't figure it out on my own.
4. I understand that, if I delete the foldername.msf file, TB will compact the foldername file. I think I should NOT do this because it will permanently delete the files I want to restore - right?
Any help would be appreciated. I have an unhappy wife. Thank you.

The message she garbled I would assume is that the deletions were to large and that the deleted folder would be bypassed. So all the normal recovery from the trash is simply not possible. There is no Thunderbird magic available unfortunately. So your reduced to using operating system undelete software. I have no idea how that will go, but I just downloaded this http://ntfsundelete.com/download and it does appears to do the job, even if the close text is so pale as to be hard to see.

Question about "Edit Edit Original", and a question about efficiency.

I have a background image that I have imported (placed) inside my Indesign document. Problem is that I can't tell how the image will look against the other Indesign layers until I actually import "place" the image. I find myself having to keep going back into photoshop to adjust the hue/saturation or use the brush tool for adjustments. I then save, and from Indesign I update the link.
Having to do this 6 or 7 times in a row until I am satisfied, seems like a huge waste of time. It just seems like it would be SO much easier and less time consuming if I could edit my image in the Indesign image. Is there a workaround?
Here is an analogy. To me it's like an artist painting, but having to run into another room to dip his brush. He rushes back to his painting only to find that he needed just a little bit more yellow added to his white...so he has to run all the way back into the paint room to dip his brush again. I'm sure there is a reason for this work method in Indesign, but I'm just a little confused with it.
Question #2: I have tried going to "Edit>Edit original" in InDesign. Problem is, that the "preview" app pops up instead of photoshop, because I like my psd's and jpgs to automatically open in preview for quick viewing purposes. I've read that the work around is to go into Bridge and change the way a program opens a certain type of image. I did this..I changed it so Photoshop and Indesign should open jpgs by default, yet still allow the osx operating system to still open them in "preview". I tried restarting Indesign to see if it was just something that required a restart to take effect. It still opens "Preview" when I go to Edit>Edit Original.

CS4 adds an edit with feature...other than that sorry, Photoshop is
where you'll need to do the editing.

Question About Edit of Raw Images

I'm contemplating upgrading to iPhoto 08. It's nice that iPhoto can import raw camera images, but I am trying to understand what it does with them. When you import a raw camera image into iPhoto is it right away converted into some other format? If it's kept in raw format and you edit it, are the edits done on the raw image or some converted format?
I guess what I am getting at is that if there is a conversion to 8-bit grey level images when editing, then the advantage of shooting raw, which could be 12-bit, is lost. If there is a conversion to, say, a 16-bit TIFF, that would be okay.
Unrelated question: How the heck do you do a search just in this forum? The search box at the top right seems to be searching the whole Apple web site.
Thanks.

When iPhoto imports a RAW file it creates a jpg version of it for viewing and editing my iPhoto. Once a modified version is created, the RAW import or first edit of a jpg, further edits are written to an xml file and applied by iPhoto. So you're always one jpg edit away from the original.
As I understand it if you shoot B/W RAW you will get a color jpg version as the RAW contains ALL of the data, including color. The jpg that iPhoto creates is 8 bits per channel.
Now you can set iPhoto to edit the RAW file if you use an external editor like PS or PSE. When you do that a new file has to be created and saved to the desktop and imported as a new file. That the nature of RAW editing and iPhoto.
The current search function has been discontinued temporarily.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Several questions about editing in Premiere

Hey all,
I have basic editing skills in Premiere and am trying to get more advanced skills. So I'm helping out a local non-profit. I'm trying to cut up a video but I have a few questions.
1. If I start a project in Premiere CS5, will I be able to edit it in other versions( 5.5 or 6)?
2. The video came with timecode on it. How do I remove it?
3. The video currently isn't taking up the fill screen. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks

1. If I start a project in Premiere CS5, will I be able to edit it in other versions( 5.5 or 6)?
Yes.
2. The video came with timecode on it. How do I remove it?
The timecode is burned-in... the only way to remove it
is to get the original media without timecode on screen.
3. The video currently isn't taking up the fill screen. What am I doing wrong?
It appears your media does not match your sequence settings.

Question about images in Dreamweaver

I created a table tonight using Layout view. One of my cells
is going to contain the logo for my website. Here's the problem
though.
I opened the image in Dreamweaver and then shrunk it down
quite a bit in order to fit it into the cell I have. The cell is
the size I want, but when the image shows up on the page it's
really small and blurry.
Do I need to resize the image manually before importing it
into Dreamweaver in order for it to look correct? Is my problem
simply that I shrunk a huge image into a tiny space?

Another question about altering nav bar templates

I'm currently building a site using the "modern" template in iweb. So far I've been able to do a lot of customizations, which I love, but the nav bar is driving me CRAZY!
I've read a bunch of other topics and from that I've managed to create my own text box nav bar, but it's still not 100% what I'd like. Here's what I'm looking for:
I love the modern template except the rollover colour in the nav bar being red. I'd like the colour to be dark grey when rolled over just like it is when you're visiting the current page. I made my own text bar in that way but now when I'm on a specific page, that page heading in the nav bar doesn't stay highlighted in dark grey. Is that clear? I'm not familiar with web design and the language that corresponds so if there's anything I can do to clarify, please let me know. I need to know how I can get both: nav bar rolled over in dark grey AND the current page (page being viewed) in dark grey. If anyone has any information to help, I'd greatly appreciate it!
Thanks in advance,
S

Hi OT!
Thanks for the help. I've already done what you suggested but it unfortunately doesn't answer what I'm looking for.
In the modern template, when you're on a specific page, that page's header in the nav bar is dark grey whereas the other tabs in the nav bar remain light grey. I don't want the tabs the change after they've been clicked, rather, I want to keep the function of the template and simply change the rollover colour. Two questions:
1. Is there are way to make a text nav bar do the same thing as the template so when I'm viewing a specific page, the page's nav bar tab remains dark grey but goes back to light grey when I'm viewing a different page?
2. Thank you for the link with the HTML snippet. I had found that link last week but couldn't find it again. I don't know how to alter HTML so while this seems like a great option, I'm wondering how it works. If I put an HTML snippet in the header, is it viewable when the website is live? Is there a way to view the source code of a page?
I apologize if these questions seem rudimentary....I'm quite new to all of this!!!
Thanks for all your help!!!

Question about databases in dreamweaver cs6

Hi all,
I need to clarify that I am very new to phpmyadmin, mysql, and databases. This is what i am stucked with.
Currently, I have one table (book) which contains these attributes (ISBN(primary key), title, author, publisher, price etc) in my database (book)
I have the other table (users) which contains these attributes (username (primary key), password, name, DOB etc) in my database (user)
Let me explain the series of steps first. An user logs in on the log in page successfully, and he will be directed to the main page, then he will type or select his search terms, then the results page will display the relevant results in the master list, then he will select the specific result to go to the detailed page containing more information.
What I want now is to create a reservation page. If the user likes the specific book in the detailed page, he can click reserve it, and will be directed to the reservation page.
I intend to have these search textfields: Username, Title, Price, Number of orders.
How can I let the username textfield to be automatically filled as the user has logged in at the login page initially. Also, how can I let the title and price textfield to be automatically filled, as the user has clicked reserve it at the specific detailed page? I intend that the user just key in number of orders and press submit button. My 3rd database (reservation) will capture the info of username, title, price, and number of orders. Do i use insert record or update record?
Do i create a relational table in phpmyadmin by linking it with the keys from tables (book and users)? Will this be a many to many relationship? I intend my third table to have these attributes (reservation no (primary key), username, title, price, no, of orders and date of collection?
Moreover, how do I auto generate the date of collection (for e.g. it will be 5 days after the point of time when the user click the submit button) in my third table ?
Thanks!

But I still have a last question.
Now I have my Title, Price, Full Name, Email textfields all auto filled by session variables, I also have a no. of orders for the users to enter and press submit. So I only have Title, price, full name, email and no. of orders textfield in my reservation page.
My third table intends to have these attributes: Reservation Numner, Title, Price, Full Name, Email, and Date of Collection. My reservation page doesnt have the reservation and date of collection textfields. I intend to pull out these 2 data after the user press submit.
May I know what is my primary key for now? Do I use update or insert record? Correct my attributes or textfields if I am wrong. How do I go about doing this now?
I'm not quite following;
So now you have Title, Price, Full Name and Email values which you can get from the Reservations page form. What are you intending to do with it? Insert that into a table in your database?
Also what are you planning to do with the Reservation Number and Date of Collection?
As previously mentioned you can add the Collection Date to the reservations page if you want and pass it along with the rest of the data via a hidden from field if you need to.
<?php
$collectionDate = date('d-m-Y', strtotime("+5 days"));
?>
Just add value="<?php echo $collectionDate; ?>" to the hidden form field.

.mac Family pack:: questions about editing on two computers

Hey I'm new and would love some advice.
I'm a college student with some web experience. I'm helping out my folks' business by making them a website. I'd also like to have a website of my own.
1. It would be great if I could edit their business website from my computer at college and they could update photos or info from their Mac at home. (how do I do that?)
2. Also, if I am editing their website, do I need to be logged in as their .mac account in the system preferences?
3. It seems that any website created is all in one file. How can I have two websites with separate accounts?
Thanks for your help! I'm still new to this.
