Quick CSS box question

Hi guys,
Firstly a very Merry Christmas to you all !
I'm just getting to grips with converting all the text on my
site to CSS and have a quick question.
On some of my pages I add an 'Also see' links box aligned to
the right - it's a CSS div tag thingy someone kindly talked me
through once. All of my pages are built from a template with an
editable region.
My question is, can I add this box (perhaps with a standard
'Also check out' title and then spaces for my links) at the
template level? This will save me having to go to Insert>Layout
Objects>DivTag on every page. I've tried simply adding this to
the editable region of the template but it simply pushed the
editable region box over to the right and then didn't appear on my
pages
Also, the links box would ideally appear about half way down
my pages on the right...
Hope you can help, many thanks in advance!
James
Here's an example page where I have manually added my link
box on the right of the page...

Your CSS link implies that the CSS file is in the Templates
folder. You
shouldn't have anything there other than the template (dwt)
files
themselves. Please move it out to any other location in your
site.
<link href="../../Templates/Box.css" rel="stylesheet"
type="text/css">
Changes made to template editable regions would not propagate
to existing
child pages - that's why you aren't seeing that addition in
them....

Quick CSS layout question

This should be a quick one - I have just added in some links to the other countries on the page below. Basically all the links under the main Botswana image on the left hand side.
Trouble is, that they have knocked the second row of lodges down to their right (this is how they should appear: http://www.goodsafariguide.com/botswana/index.php)
I thought the culprit might be a clear:both; in the #outerWrapper #contentWrapper #content #row_two rule in the botswana_layout.css file, but apparently not.
If anyone could quickly spot how to fix this that would be great.
The page is here:

Thank you!

Good news with the solution!

Its interesting that you mention the <a href="someurl.php"><div>Some content</div></a> thing. Although it seems to work, it wa something I wasn't entirely convinced was technically correct. I'm not sure how else you would do that though, and it seems a fairly common thing on sites (if not achieved the same way), ie having a large area that acts as a link. Maybe it should be contained in an outer DIV.
Thanks again for your help.
As I understand it, strictly speaking a <div> cannot be a link so, it should not be wrapped in an anchor tag. I think it has something to do with the fact that a <div> is a block level element and <a> is in line. This link http://htmlhelp.com/reference/wilbur/special/a.html is a reference for <a> it lists what other elements it can occur in and what it can contain. An <a> can be placed inside a <div> but not the other way around. Having said that, your use of the two elements kind of proves that they work but then you can fix wood together with nails and screws but some situations call for one or the other! Reading up on this, I learn that it's different now in HTML5 but then I imagine, that was done to confuse me!
The way I work out a page these days is based on my simple understanding of semantic code which for me means that the best element to use will always be the one that was intended for that job. The most obvious are <ul> and <li> for lists and <p> for a paragraph. I suppose <head> and <body> give even stronger clues. I also understand that search engines and in particular, Google, appreciate the proper use of these elements when pages are crawled. I know that SEO is a dark art but it kind of makes sense that a stupid robot will understand only the information is sees. It knows a list is a list but it doesn't know that a div is a list.
I have had a go at building your box of images using Dreamweaver Javascript rollover and the list elements. It's quick and dirty and the javascript makes it look more complicated than it is. However, if you compare my code with yours, I think that you will agree that my alternative is more straight forward and easier to read.
One other thing about this idea is that but putting your image in the page, you can get a bit more content in there with your alt="" and title"" attributes. At the moment, your option is a string of content-less divs.

Quick css name question...

I created a simple file in dw main.css. It worked fine in dw and firefox testing - but failed in safari... many times I resent to web and cleared cache etc... but no joy
then I changed the name to something else and all worked
what went wrong? Is main.css some kind of 'protected term' or non permitted words that safari does not like?
btw this was the only code for it:
body {
background-color: #000;
font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;
font-size: 16px;
color: #FC0;
a:link {
color: #FF0;
a:visited {
color: #FC6;
a:hover {
color: #FFC;
text-decoration: underline;

Filenames are not protected, but if the browser does not recognize the file type then it will do unpredictable things with it. If you pointed your browser to main.css, you would probably see just text. Files with the htm, html, etc. extensions are interpreted by the browser as .html and processed as such.

Basic CSS Functionality Questions

Hi,
I have a CSS 11501 loaner on the way from Cisco, but was hoping to ask a few questions ahead of time. I am relatively new to this, so bear with me.
I have three offices connected via a VPN between two pix devices. Local users and anonymous web traffic all funnels through the remote office. I am hoping I can incorporate a CSS box to direct traffic (via a VPN to another pix) to a third office in the event the www server at the main office is not reachable, but return to the first office when it is back online.
I am a little confused by VIP. Right now, my domain name resolves to an IP address on the outside of my pix which NATs and sends the request on to my web server. If the CSS is behind it, do I create a VIP that maps to the actual IP of the www server, and have the pix send traffic to the VIP?
I have read the PDFs found online, but am still a little foggy.
Thanks,
JM

the Pix will have to send the traffic to the VIP.
The VIP should be an address existing only on the CSS and that the rest of your network knows how to reach.
The CSS will then nat to the real server ip.

Quick Search box in Safari 6.0

My safari 6.0 browser used to have the google quick search box on the right side and it had disappeared. does anyone know how to get it back?

Thank you. I just tested that out and it did do the google search. however, i believe the way it used to work was that when you put in a search in the box on the right, it opened a new tab automatically. Now, I need to hit the plus to open a new tab before doing the search. do you know what the setting is to open a new tab with a new search? Thanks a lot and you did solve my initial question.

Blue box question mark

on some websites the images does not show, instead it just shows blue box question marks. I'm using a macbook air with Yosemite 10.10.1 and Safari 8.0.2. What can I do to make it show the pictures?

The server hosting the images may not be available.

TS3276 Having trouble sending jpeg images as attachments in Mac email.....they go thru as images and PC users can't see the SAVE or QUICK LOOK boxes that Mac mail has. One friend scrolled over the image, right clicked on it and saved as a PNG file.

Having trouble sending jpeg images as attachments in Mac email.....they go thru as images and PC users can't see the SAVE or QUICK LOOK boxes that Mac mail has. One friend scrolled over the image, right clicked on it and saved as a PNG file.

Apple Mail isn't going to change the format of any of your attachments. it isn't going to corrupt them either.
Exchange is a transport protocol and server. The issue you describe is not related to Exchange.
There are many different versions of Microsoft Outlook in use and they all have e-mail bugs. Different versions have different bugs. Some Apple Mail hack to get around a bug in Outlook 2003 may cause the same message to be problematic in Outlook 2000. Fix them both and another issue will cause trouble in Outlook 2007. You can't fix this. Apple can't fix this. Microsoft can and has but that is irrelevant if your recipients are using older versions.
One specific problem is that Apple Mail always sends image attachments inline, as images, not as iconized files. You can change this with Attachment Tamer. Just be aware that use of this software will break other things such as Stationery. E-mail is just a disaster. To date, no one outside of Apple has ever implemented the e-mail standards from 1993. Apple has continually changed its e-mail software to be more compatible with the de-facto standards that Netscape and Microsoft have unilaterally defined and people documented as "standards" after the fact. The e-mail messages that Apple Mail sends are 100% correct and do not violate any of the original standards from 1993 or the Microsoft/Netscape modifications. The problem is entirely bugs and limitations in various versions of Outlook.

Quick SAP Script question New Page Print

Quick SAP Script question
I have added a new page to an existing SAP Script BUT only want it to print if a condition is true.
I need to do this from within the form as the print program is SAP Std.
Any idea how I can prevent the new page from printing?
i.e. I need the form NOT to call the new page if the condition is false. Is there a way of forcing an exit or stop from with in the form?

Hi,
To trigger a new page, there is script ediotr command NEW-PAGE.
so find where is that command is triggered and use the below code for trigger it on any specific condition....
if &condition& = 'True'
/* NEW-PAGE
elseif
/: NEW-PAGE
endif
so it means if condition is satisfied your new page will not work.. else it will...
Hope you got it...
Try this..
Best luck..
Regs,

What are these blue box question marks?

What are these blue box question marks appearing on some websites?
They seem to not appear on every website I visit, only some.
I have tried several troubleshooting steps.
-I reset cache.
-I changed text encoding.
-I checked bos to always display images.
-I went to "develop" and opened in every other browser.
-I updated my adobe flash player.
What else can I do?
It is so annoying!
I am running Safari 8.0.
Thank you!

Override Link Class in "Other CSS" Box

Hi -is there a way to override the class of a link in the "other styles" box for a component?
My example is this:
I use a skin with a dark header. The text for the widgets in the header are white (Administration, etc)
The body of the site is white.
When I put another widget that uses the same class (x106 in this case) it makes the link color white and you can't see it on the page.
I've tried many ways to go into the "other CSS" box (under the style tab) and none seem to work.
Thanks.

Hi - thanks.
That's not exactly the problem. I know what the classes are (x106 and x107).
The problem is that I am trying to use two "widgets" or ADF components (like the login/logout or My Favorites links) on two different background colors.
I cannot get into the code of the ADF component to tell it to use a different class.
Also, if I change the class (x106 for example) it changes ALL of them.
What I think I need is a way to override the CSS for the link in the "Other CSS" box for that component somehow (I've tried many things - can't figure it out and not sure it can be done). I would think that this would override the class in the skin.
In short - what I'm asking, I guess, is this.
IS there a way to override the CSS LINK color for an ADF template component - OTHER THAN in the Skin's CSS file.
Thanks!

Have some performance issues on Windows XP, too.
I am using d3d prism settings to render on Windows 7 and XP. On Windows 7 everything working fine.
On Windows XP it is slow and sometimes flickering.
I didn't find a solution.
1) Tried to start the application with other prism settings like -Dprism.order=d2d and OpenGL.
2) I changed the 3d graphic settings that made it better, but didn't solve the issue.
Someone knows the difference of rendering the javafx application in Windows 7 and XP (DirectX 11, DirectX9.0c)?

Adobe Reader X leaks GDI handles in quick search box

Just installed Adobe Reader X a couple of days ago (Windows 7, x64). I used it for numerous online documents (in Firefox), while searching for some specific terms in each document. After a while the reader presented a strange picture, not properly painting itself anymore. Then, the reader became unresponsive, and Firefox too, and I had to kill the task.
This happened a few times on different pdf documents.
In my programming career things like these have happened more often so, when the behavior happened again, I went checking the process using Windows Task Manager, adding a few extra columns (Handles, User Objects, GDI Objects) and found that the number of GDI objects was nearly 10000, the absolute limit that Windows imposes on any single process.
I went on checking the reader, now standalone and without Firefox, to see if the problem would persist. Opened a few pdfs and scrolled back and forth. No problems -
tried the same in Firefox to see if the plugin was OK - still no problem.
Then started using the quick search box (Ctrl-F) and repeatedly looked for something trivial (e.g. just a single letter A) - Bingo! Now the GDI handle count starts rising seriously, and does not come back to the original level.
This is definitely a leak, and it needs to be fixed.

We don't process bug reports via these forums - please post any details of unexpected behaviors to the official reporting form.

How do I turn off the "quick find" box in the compose email window?

I'm surprised to see this has not been asked here as I see many complaints about it on the web.....but no solution.
I have difficulties when composing emails. The "quick find" box in the lower left of the windows begins to "intercept" my typing. Once it begins I can no longer write in the actual compose box. How do I get rid of it?

My CSS box doesn't seem to be pushing the text out of the way

Hi guys,
Have
a look here
I've just managed to get CSS boxes working on my site, and as
you'll see have applied them to the right hand side of a number of
pages and added links. I looked at the site locally and online last
night from my machine and everything seemed to be working as
expected.
However, I've just got to work and had a look at some of the
pages and the text box A - doesn't seem to have extended enough to
surround all of the linked text and B - doesn't seem to have pushed
the surrounding text out of the way enough so now there's a
horrible overlapping this going on.
As I have set the box's height properties to something like
150 (can't quite remem) I'm assuming this is what is causing A and
B? So, how do I then set the box's properties so that it will
shorten or lenghten depending on how much text I put inside it -
just leave the height property field blank?
Hope you can help guys!
Let me know if you need more info.
Cheers,
James

Yes. The answer is to never set the height of a box which
contains text
(unless its for a scrolling area). Let the amount of text
within the box
determine the height.

How do I enable The Google Quick Search Box feature?

The Google Quick Search Box on the toolbar no longer will search when entered. The search request registers but won't search. I have to go to Google.com in order to use the Google search engine. The quick search was handy and I'd like to have it back. Per Google I need to enable it by clicking on the "wrench", search and enable... but it's not there to enable. HELP!

You can also access the Google Toolbar Options thru Tools > Addons > Extensions - Google Toolbar for Firefox & then right-click that extension and click on Options.
