Royally Messed Up Page - Don't Even Know Where to Start
Hello,
This is my first post here - I inherited the managment of this website as part of my day to day tasks and know very little about properly operating Dreamweaver CS3...just enough to be dangerous.
I have royally messed up this page: http://www.earthserviceandsupply.com/html/essnews.html
This seemed to occur when I inserted a weather radar into the code and now I can't fix the problem. I really don't want to delete the radar.
I have tried to reapply the original template hoping that it would fix the bug but to no avail. I keep getting multiple errors such as:
Any help that could be given to remedy this problem would be much appreciated.
Thanks so much!

This is worrisome. It's not Dreamweaver you should be learning but code basics. If you don't know code basics, DW is going to continue to punish you.
Start here: HTML & CSS Tutorials - http://w3schools.com/
Errors in code are responsible for 98% of browser rendering issues. You have more than a few to work on starting with a valid document type. Without one, your web pages render in Quirks Mode which is geek speak for a confused mess.
Open your main Template.dwt file.
To add a document type in DW, go to Modify > Page Properties > Title/Encoding tab and choose a doc type that fits your coding skills. I recommend XHTML transitional. Hit OK.
Next, Validate code and fix reported errors using the tools below.
Code Validation Tools
CSS - http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/
HTML - http://validator.w3.org/
NOTE: if this is beyond your skill set, tell whoever saddled you with this project that the site is in desperate need of a re-build to meet modern web and accessibility standards.

Basic How to Question: Don't even know where to start
I have a graphic taking up 1/8 of the size of a solid band of colour in a web banner. I want to take one edge of the shape of the graphic and do a kind of gradient blend but not of the colour, of the shape. Kind of like a ladder with the steps getting smaller, evenly or smoothly to solid colour.
I've tried searching for tutorials but don't even know what it might be called or what particular tools to use. Can someone point me in the right direction please?
Many thanks
MartinSearch for blends. If you want the color to not change then both object will have to be the same color. The blend effects the stroke as well, so if you want it to be smooth, give the stroke no color.

Dont even know where to start...weird problems with itunes and touch
I dont even know what is going on. My touch for example sorted by artist will show 2 of the same artist. "HIM" and "HiM" although in the itunes library and even in the touch's tab it doesnt show up. Only on the touch. There are many other artists that will show a duplicate on the touch but not on itunes. I dont exactly understand how the whole "syncing" thing does but ive tried to sync the ipod to the library.
Welcome to the discussions,
Try to deselect "sync music" in the music pane in itunes. Syncing will take off all your music after that. Then select to sync your music again and see if this clears your selection on your ipod.
For more info about syncing see these articles: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1296 and http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1386 or the user guide http://manuals.info.apple.com/enUS/iPod_touch_3.1_UserGuide.pdf -
I don't even know where to begin, so this looks like a good place
Hi, all
I am an RC airplane hobbiest and I would like to build a test engine stand to test my engines with different props. I would also like to tune the engines to get the peak performance out of my engines if possible. Usually to do this, I place one of my motors on a test stand with a prop and start it up and put it through its paces while listening to the sounds. Now I would like to actually quantify my results with a system that can be connected to my laptop. Of course I have no idea how to put together a data acquisition system, but why let that stop me. I thought I would pose a question here to see how much of a hassle it would be. So below I have listed all my requirements and I hope that someone can direct me to atleast giving me a direction to start picking the components that I would need to achieve my goal.
RC Glow Motor Test Stand Requirements:
1. Thrust measurement. The engines can typically produce upto 25 lbs of thrust with a proper prop configuration.
2. Temperature measurement. The engines operate at temperatures that are comparable to a typical automobile engine ( -40 F to 400 F)
3. Tachometer measurement. The engines can turn as much as 20000 RPMs. I have a optical tachometer that is suppiled from the hobby shop and works qute well with up to 4 blades on a prop.
The above are the only 3 measurements that I need to tune the motors to maximize their performance. In addition, it would be awesome if my data acquisition system wasn't tethered to a plug from a house which would be cause for an extention cord. Battery powered is the best.
Of course the final requirement is the data needs to be able to be displayed in a graph on the laptop computer.OK fair enough. It just seemed that the labview forum was just about software, and I really didn't know what breakpoint really meant. I was looking through some of the threads and the technicals in some of them are right down to the nats. I wasn't looking for anything too technical yet, I was just looking for some direction on my problem so that I can read and learn in a more focused manner for the time being. If it is feedback you would like in this forum, how about this. With all of the subcatergories for this entire forum, another one labeled Concept Evaluation would probably help with people like myself who just want to jump in and get started with a new system. It seems like everything here is broken down into several subsets, and I fear that when that occurs, the best solution may not be achieved.
As for your question, I'm by no means even qualified to answer with any technical knowledge, but I believe that the load cell for force measurements and the thermocoupler for the temperature measurements would be a voltage measurement, and the RPM would be a digital pulse measurement.
Thanks for your reply, and I will now try the same thing in the breakpoint forum. -
Newbie Question - Don't really know where to start
I am trying to build a stand alone flash graphic using
photographs and text. I have gotten so far as to organize the
photos into folders on layers. I would like for the photographs to
fade in and out and the text to move across the screen. I
originally built all of the files in Photoshop including the text.
At this point, I am just lost. I have tried doing the
tutorials and lessons included with the flash program and even have
Katherine Ulrich's Macromedia Flash for Windows and Macintosh but I
can't seem to find the answers to my questions.
I don't know whether I should make the photos into symbols or
not and the text is really confusing. Am I just making this harder
than it is?
Thanks,
Tiffanyanaire,

Really?

happening

Aha. Then, yes, the lower image would show through a bit, if
the upper
one had areas of transparency. If you wanted to block that
transparency,
you could add a solid background to the GIF images *after*
they had been
turned into symbols. You'll see the symbols as separate
entities in your
Library. Double click on them in the Library (or on the
Stage) to enter the
timeline of each graphic symbol in turn. (Symbols have
timelines just like
the main timeline.) Inside of each symbol, you can add a new
layer, if you
like, beneath the GIF image itself, then use the rectangle
tool to draw a
shape with a solid fill. Draw it when that new layer is on
top, to make it
easier, then drag the shape under the GIF image. Just a
thought.
Flash is also capable of importing PNG files, which have a
much greater
range of transparency. GIFs have a limited palette of (at
most) 256 colors,
and only one of those colors can be transparent.PNGs, on the
other hand, can
have millions of colors with a transparency range of 256
levels (completely
transparent, a great range of semi-transparency, to
completely opaque).
> I'm thinking : can this happen because of the
transparency?
Yes, for sure.
> I'm going to go now and try with my real photos, jpegs
> this time.
That would be the easiest route. Be aware that you could
even use BMPs,
TIFFs, or any other image format Flash is capable of
importing. Even though
those are heavier file formats, the end result, a SWF, will
apply JPEG
compression to the images to reduce their size. The amount of
compression
can be determined by you in two ways: a) over all in the
Publish Settings
(File > Publish Settings > Flash tab) or b)
individually for each image by
right-clicking / Command-clicking each image in the Library
and choosing
Properties from the resultant context menu.
> I'm going to try the tutorials and the Slide Class as
well.
I should probably give the Slide API a bit more of a chance.
I've done
some experimentation with it to help someone in a different
thread. It
seems to me that the "screens" mode of Flash -- that is, File
> New > Flash
Slide Presentation or Flash Form Application -- is supposed
to make things
easier for this specific genre of presentation, but it does
require a bit of
ActionScript, while the techniques discussed earlier in this
thread require
no programming whatsoever. In fact, I would argue that
learning the
fundamentals of symbols and timeline tweening provide more
bang for the
buck.
See this thread for a possible pitfall of using Slides ...

HELP! I dont even know where to start with Time Machine!
Hi there,
Ive just bought an external hard drive to use for some audio software I use, and I thought I would use it for Time Machine backups too.
I have set up 3 partitions, one for my audio, one for Time Machine and a small partition for other files.
I ran Time Machine a couple days ago and today it ran out of space. It suggested I select files to include in Time Machine but I just want it to overwrite the backup each time. It is unlikely I would need weeks and weeks of backup because other than new files I create, whats on the main hard drive doesnt change too much.
I cant seem to find any options to do with how often I back up, and its behaviour when the drive is full.
Could someone please point me in the right direction?!
Thankshttp://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/11421.html
http://www.apple.com/support/leopard/timemachine/
The above are two good places to start, but there's a few things to know too:
How big is your computer's HD?
How big is your Time Machine HD?
How big is each partition?
Do you use Entourage?
The most important thing to remember is that Time Machine backs up EVERYTHING unless you tell it otherwise. The exclude options are in the Time Machine preferences, and you can add whatever you want -- just remember it's not backed up. I asked about Entourage because it stores and constantly modifies one single file containing all your email, making Time Machine think it's a different version and keeping many copies of that file. It's fine if it's maybe 200 MB or so, but at 1 GB, different versions will eat your HD very quickly. -

iTunes Match allows you to have all of your music (including what you've copied from CDs) in the cloud so that you can re-download it as/when needed on your various devices : http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2588
If you subcribed to it by mistake then you can try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption -
I just got iphone 5c and i am not happy with it. It uses to much data and i don't even know how. I can't get the ringtones i want for my contacts.I got it on my free upgrade but i want to take it back and get something else but where i got it they say i can't because i don't have the earbuds and i have serches or them. now i am suck with a phone i don't like at all until my next upgrade. this is very dishearten
1. If you are this unhappy with that phone, and the lost earbuds is the only thing stopping you from taking it back, why do not just buy some earbuds. That way you can get rid of that phone. It all depend upon how much you want to get rid of that phone.
2. Yet if you are stuck with that iPhone, here is something might help you to control the data usage. By design, iPhones do turn off WiFi when they go dormant. So if a download is in progress and so forth when the phone goes dormant, it will switch to use cellular data, if this setting is left on. Therefore, from multi-sources I have learned that if you keep your iPhone connected to a power source, then it will stay connected to the available WiFi. -
I just got an iPod touch 5g for Christmas and last night I was FaceTiming a family member and I noticed my speaker sounded a little wired, like it blew out which I don't even know how I did it! I never have it up full blast! Does the 1 year limited warrenty cover it?

See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
While I agree that it would be nice if it was easier to transfer media from your Apple devices they should never be used as the sole location for any of your media. They are too easily lost, stolen, damaged, or corrupted. The user tip above also includes a link to a suggested library backup strategy so that you can avoid being in the same position in future.

I don't even know what to title this Topic except HELP!!!
Ok I will try and be as descriptive as possible.
Everyone is having similar problems, sorry for the repeat if this is a repeated event.
I just got a refurbished mini ipod (2nd generation) on ebay. It works on my old iMac fine, but I only use my mac at work and not a home. I have an Windows XP service pack 2 compaq labtop 76477-OEM-0011903-00101 (If that means anything). I have all the requirements. I have 2.0 USB ports. I have the latest iTunes. I could always figure out the problem with most things.
This bloody ipod doesn't want to work!!!! Before it couldn't find the ipod. And while I fittled with my computer and probably made it worse. It can see the ipod, but iTunes doesn't even know it's there. I tried it on my brother's computer. That had Windows XP etc, ect. AND I used a 1.1 USB port to load and it RECGONIZE IT PERFECTLY! I tried to load an old itunes. I did everything on apple.com about it. I don't even know if I should go on Windows site to get some info if my computer just doesn't like me.
I tried to put it on my boyfriend's computer, but now it's telling my the audio/song playback isn't working and I can't even add songs, play music on his computer. (And if anyone knows how to solve that issue that would be great!)
So please help because I really don't want to send this thing back.
Thank you for your help.
