Scripts working with Style Sheets

Hello. I'm working in CS3, InDesign.
I am working on a fairly large conference book full of sessions, two columns per page. Two style sheet in question: 1) Head_with_RuleAbove; 2) Head_with_NoRule. Scenario: The sessions are divided by a horizontal rule, except when the session is at the top of a column. Here in lies my problem, if a session is added or taken away then I have to go back through to the end of the file and touch all the "head" to either add or remove the rule above with style sheets. If this happens at the front of the book, it's very time consuming.
My dream: Is there a script that exists that can run in tandum with style sheets that picks a style sheet to use depending on where the text find's itself in the column, ie at the top or not at the top?
I apologize that this question is so wordy and confusing.I appreciate any help you all have to offer. Until then I will click away.
Kindly.

It's possible to write a script that does just that: add a line to each head, except when it's at the top of a frame; in that case remove the line.
A drawback is that you would have to run it on every change. So try cheating. This way you don't have to do anything on reflowing text:
Go to the master pages for these columns and add a new layer. Position this layer on top of the existing one(s). Draw a white rectangle on the position where the line would come. All you have to do is making sure you add the text on the right layer, and don't use these master pages for anything else than these 2-column texts.

Problems with style sheets

I switched to Pages about one year ago because I then found that style management was easy and straightforward compared to Word. I updated to Pages V2.0 in January and since then I have been annoyed with the new way style sheets are managed.
In V1.0, when copying / pasting text from Word to Pages, styles would not been copied leave the style sheet clean.
Now, when copying / Pasting text from Word to Pages, the whole Word style sheet is copied in Pages (whatever paste option is used) messing everything around
I believe this is a bug but I did not get any straight answer from Apple support. Do you face the same problem? Does anyone have a work around?
Cheers.

Philippe,
actually it will indeed be the easiest to remove the Word styles when you're finished with your text.
You should be aware that Pages will ask you for a style to replace the one you're deleting, if that style is still assigned. If you Paste and Match Style, this shouldn't be a problem.
I wouldn't number Pages styles but use a prefix, e.g. "pg_". This will still keep the sorting you're probably now used to. A prefix is also usefull if your Pages styles use numbering (text style) since Pages automatically adds a number in front of the style name. This could lead to some confusion.
Additionally, you should, as suggested by dwb, send feedback to Apple and ask to change the behaviour of Patch and Match Style.

Formatting incoming text with style sheets

Is there a way to "find/change" formatted text with existing style sheets?<br /><br />In other words I have formatted text placed into my indesign document that looks like the following: <bf>Four Patch</bf> Then another set of text that looks like this:<it> Baltimore Press</it> <br /><br />I set up stles sheets formatted for Bold font and Ital font to accomodate these formats. Problem is I have a 500 page book that I need to go through and stylize. I tried to do a find/change global (<bf> </bf> to bold font etc but it didn't work. I was hoping by just putting a space between the <> would help the find/change option to find all the text but kept saying could find.<br /><br />I hope someone understands what I'm trying to do and can tell me that there is a remedy to the tedious formatting issue I have.<br /><br />Thanks<br /><br />MAria<br />Stuart, Florida

If you have InDesign CS3, I can think of two ways to deal with this.
Grep search: set search to
<bf>([^<]+)</bf>
and replacement string to
$1
and then set the change format to your boldface style. Change all. (I often think it's a good idea to take a copy before doing Change All on a 500-page document, but that's up to you.) Repeat with hopefully obvious changes for the italics. You can save the searches if you need to do this often.
Adventurous alternative.
Put the single line
<stuff>
at the top of your file, and
</stuff>
at the bottom.
Now it's XML. So open the structure panel, import XML from the fly-out menu. Map Tags to Styles from the same menu, and set up the correspondence you need. Then drag the stuff node from the structure panel to the document.
If you have to do this more than once, you can import the mapping from an old file each time after the first.
IMPORTANT: The XML route will fail if you have loose & or less than characters in your file. You would have to replace these with the appropriate character entity references.
(If you aren't reading this on the forum site, you may be seeing character entity references in the message. Hopefully you can decode them.)

Strange Problem with Style Sheet

Hi,
I wasn't sure where to post this to, maybe the Leopard discussions may be more appropriate! I run a website based on a Wordpress backend that uses CSS. For some reason my website will not display correctly in ANY browser on my Macbook (2.16C2D/2GB/250GB/10.5.5), but it works fine on any of my other Macs or PC's.
Basically the menu headings and post titles should be white on a black background but they are bold and the colour of my link items (#6699ff). There are other minor formatting issues as well. It shows up incorrectly in all my browsers (Safari 3, Camino 1.6 and 2 (default), Opera 9.5, Firefox 3 and Flock) and also in CSSEdit (which likely uses the Safari engine).
It's also a system wide issue, not a user one as it is the same for other users of the Macbook. It started about a week ago, and the only system wide change I have made since then is installing Flash Player 10. I have since tried removing all internet plugins but there was no change.
Although this is not a huge issue it's really annoying as I initially thought my website was broken before testing on another machine. Any ideas on this one would be greatly appreciated. BTW, the offending style sheet is called styles.css
Thanks,
Rory

Sorry - the web address of the site is www.dj-moose.co.uk/blog You should see the menu headings down the left in a white sans serif font and the post titles also in white in a capitalised sans serif font. Both of these are #6699ff and bold for me, as if the a:hover style and H3 have combined.

Applescript to work with multiple sheets?

Hello -
I am trying to create a script that makes a set of tables in one sheet, and then switches to another sheet and makes the same set of tables there. However, no matter what I do, I can't switch sheets - all tables are created in the same sheet, and it is always the one I have selected in the GUI before running the script. I have already created both sheets named in the script below manually, and the script reports no errors. Tables are created, just not in the sheet I expect based on the code. This is my script:
tell application "Numbers"
tell the sheet named "Data1" of the front document
repeat with x from 1 to 5
tell (make new table)
set the name to "test table " & x
end tell
end repeat
end tell
tell the sheet named "Data2" of the front document
repeat with x from 1 to 5
tell (make new table)
set the name to "test table 2 " & x
end tell
end repeat
end tell
end tell

Hello
Using activate (the sheet) changes nothing.
So I sent this bug report:
Your tracking number for this issue is Bug ID# 6495418.
Hello
Given this simple script,
tell application "Numbers"
activate
tell document 1
log "tell to sheet Data1"
tell sheet "Data1"
--activate
repeat with x from 1 to 5
set t to make new table with properties {name:"test table " & x}
end repeat
end tell -- sheet Data1
log "now, tell to sheet Data2"
tell sheet "Data2"
activate
repeat with x from 1 to 5
set t to make new table with properties {name:"test table 2 " & x}
end repeat
end tell -- sheet Data2
end tell -- Document 1
end tell -- Application
If the active sheet is "Date1", we get
tell application "Numbers"
activate
(*tell to sheet Data1*)
make new table with properties {name:"test table 1"}
table "test table 1" of sheet "Data1" of document "Sans titre"
make new table with properties {name:"test table 2"}
table "test table 2" of sheet "Data1" of document "Sans titre"
make new table with properties {name:"test table 3"}
table "test table 3" of sheet "Data1" of document "Sans titre"
make new table with properties {name:"test table 4"}
table "test table 4" of sheet "Data1" of document "Sans titre"
make new table with properties {name:"test table 5"}
table "test table 5" of sheet "Data1" of document "Sans titre"
(*now, tell to sheet Data2*)
activate sheet "Data2" of document 1
make new table with properties {name:"test table 2 1"}
table "test table 2 1" of sheet "Data1" of document "Sans titre"
make new table with properties {name:"test table 2 2"}
table "test table 2 2" of sheet "Data1" of document "Sans titre"
make new table with properties {name:"test table 2 3"}
table "test table 2 3" of sheet "Data1" of document "Sans titre"
make new table with properties {name:"test table 2 4"}
table "test table 2 4" of sheet "Data1" of document "Sans titre"
make new table with properties {name:"test table 2 5"}
table "test table 2 5" of sheet "Data1" of document "Sans titre"
end tell
which is odd because every tables are created in the sheet "Data1"
If we run it when the sheet "Data2" is active, we get:
tell application "Numbers"
activate
(*tell to sheet Data1*)
make new table with properties {name:"test table 1"}
table "test table 1" of sheet "Data2" of document "Sans titre"
make new table with properties {name:"test table 2"}
table "test table 2" of sheet "Data2" of document "Sans titre"
make new table with properties {name:"test table 3"}
table "test table 3" of sheet "Data2" of document "Sans titre"
make new table with properties {name:"test table 4"}
table "test table 4" of sheet "Data2" of document "Sans titre"
make new table with properties {name:"test table 5"}
table "test table 5" of sheet "Data2" of document "Sans titre"
(*now, tell to sheet Data2*)
activate sheet "Data2" of document 1
make new table with properties {name:"test table 2 1"}
table "test table 2 1" of sheet "Data2" of document "Sans titre"
make new table with properties {name:"test table 2 2"}
table "test table 2 2" of sheet "Data2" of document "Sans titre"
make new table with properties {name:"test table 2 3"}
table "test table 2 3" of sheet "Data2" of document "Sans titre"
make new table with properties {name:"test table 2 4"}
table "test table 2 4" of sheet "Data2" of document "Sans titre"
make new table with properties {name:"test table 2 5"}
table "test table 2 5" of sheet "Data2" of document "Sans titre"
end tell
which is odd because this time, every tables are in the sheet "Data2".
The Make new table instruction fails to switch to the designed sheet.
May you repair that ?

Will CS4 scripts work with CS6?

I currently (still) use InDesign CS4 and I am thinking about getting CS6 (using the Cloud). However, I use a LOT of scripts and I wonder if I can keep on using that scripts or not...

Um...
Peter, that's really bad advice. That'll make any subsequent script which relies on CS5 or later features not work.
Either you should wrap that in a try/catch/finally, or use version folders.
Approach 1:
try{
app.scriptPreferences.version = 6;
// your script
}catch(err){
throw err;
} finally{
app.scriptPreferences.version = parseFloat(app.version);
Approach 2:
Create a folder in your scripts panel called "Version 6.0 Scripts", and place the script in that subfolder.

CSS properties are prefixed with style sheet name

I have two sites both created with the default templates in dreamweaver. The properties of the CSS file both looked different as shown.
What is the difference and how to I clean up the one that is prefixed?

There is nothing to clean up. .something are classes, #something are IDs. They don#rt mutually exclude one another but can coexist. If defined in a specific stylesheet and order, they provide contextual rules, e.g. if a class rule appears inside a specific elemnet with an ID. Nothing wrong. Read up on CSS!

Cascading style sheets

We're having a bizarre problem with style sheets.
We have a root page and several sub pages and we would like the user
to be able to customize the styles sheets top down. In other words,
if they select a style it is applied to the root page and all sub pages
but it doesn't appear to be working that way. It looks as if they have
to go and customize the style for each page. Is there anyway
we can turn this on or off (let the user decide if the style they
select is applied to all their pages or just the page they are currently on)?

I'm not quite sure how I see this working. Unless you activate versioning and column appending on a multi-line column, each item edit will simply change the number and field that is on display, it's not going to build a chronology.
Can you give an example of what an end user do in your design? It'll help us to assist you.

Keep style sheets collapsed in CSS Panel CS6

Is there a way to open pages with style sheet rules collapsed and keep them collapsed. Everytime I open a page it expands all of the rules and I have to close them one by one. THX

Thanks for your response
This is the first time I have tried DTSS. Like you I have sites that don't play well in design view so, for the most part like you I code manually, but I like to use display view to click on the element I am looking for to select it quickly rather than trawling through lines of code to find what I want to work on in code view.
I think you misunderstood my problem. In an arttached style sheet I have a style which is set to "display: none" bto hide jQuery tabs when JS is inaactive. When JS is atcive in the browser it dislays teh tabs Because in design view, JS is normally inactive the tabs are not be visible so I want a DTSS to set the tabs to "Display: inline" so I can see them while I work on on the page.
The problem is that the DTSS sits at the top of the cascade in the CSS panel and I can find no way to put it at the bottom of the cascade. Consequently, although I have "display: inline" in the DTSS, in my regular style sheet, which sits below the DTSS in the cascade, I have "display: none", so the latter prevails and I can not see the tabe while I work in code/design view! So I can not click on the tabs in display view to get to ithem quckly in code view!
Not lethal but a nuisance. If anyone knows how to force DTSS to the bottom of the cascade so it is read last I would be very grateful for the informaton

Style sheet problem after upgrade

hi Gurus,

when i try to access the style sheet directly i get this error:
http://XX.XX.XX.XX:XX/sap/bw/Mime/BEx/StyleSheets/BWReports.css call was terminated because the corresponding service is not available.
* The termination occurred in system XXX with error code 403 and for the reason Forbidden.
* The selected virtual host was 0 .
any idea how to solve this?
Thank you.

i solved it, the mime directory was exluded from service, so i added it.

Smartview Problem with Protected Sheets

Hello,
We use Hyperion Smart View in our company and discovered a problem while using protected excel sheets while the addin is active. Excel asks for the password but doesnt accept it even if it is the right password. If we disable the addin the problem disappears. Has somebody else such a problem ?
Has somebody a solution or a workaround ?
Thanks for the help

This issue was logged under Bug 6591401 - When Smart View is active and the worksheet is protected, the following error message is encountered ''Drawing Objects in one or more sheet(s) in the workbook are protected. Please unprotect them and try to save again.'' However, Bug 6591401 has been closed as not a defect.
The following is an explanation of how Smart View handles protected cells and a workaround for this issue:
Smart View needs some place to store it's own metadata within the Excel spreadsheet and it has been using a certain non-obtrusive object for the same. In versions 9.2 and prior, Smart View attempted to unprotect the Excel worksheets to be able to write it's metadata. That led to unexpected behavior when there were passwords used with the protection. This was fixed in 9.3.1.1.2 to make Smart View elegantly honor the spreadsheet protection and not touch objects which are specified as out of bounds by the user. However, when a spreadsheet is protected, this object can become inaccessible to Smart View, after which even a simple save operation cannot go through. In that sense, the current behavior is indeed the correct behavior, where the user placed restriction is honored correctly. The next question will be how can customers then work with protected sheets.
While protecting a worksheet, the following dialog appears which is where the user will have to establish what kind of operations will be allowed on this worksheet. By default the top two options are the only ones that come pre-selected. Just allowing these two options is not sufficient for Smart View to be able to work with the worksheet.
What also needs to be enabled is the option for "Edit Objects" which appears towards the end of the list. It is this option that helps Smart View to be able to persist it's own metadata within the worksheet in a non-obtrusive fashion. The guidance to all Smart View users should be to start enabling this option too, if they choose to apply worksheet protection.

Html5 video player won't work with slider script??

Hi - I'm new to html5 and Dreamweaver, but I've worked with html in the past, so most things aspects aren't foreign to me.
My question is this: I'm working with an existing html5 template and it had a slider graphics bar near the top. It works fine and scrolls through three pre-made banners.
The problem is I just added the widget for HTML5 Videoplayer and inserted it into my code. The video box, etc. shows up fine, and will play, but now the slider graphic box at the top doesn't work anymore. Instead it just displays all three banners as images, one on top of the other.
When I look closer at the script code that the widget embeds, it seems as though the script widget code is not playing well with the existing script code. When I remove the script code that the widget installs, the slider works perfectly again (but the video obviously won't play).
The exact code is included below. My question is, how can I make the two of these scripts work together???Any help would be great appreciated. Thanks, Blair
