SelectManyCheckbox and CSS formatting

hi,
im using the selectManyCheckbox component in my webapplication. i get the selectItems that you can select from my database. there are about 6 possible choices. my problem is that all checkbox-elements are displayed in a row next to each other. i want to display each checkbox in an own row. how can this be done? by a styleSheet? i'm new at using stylesheets, and i don't know how this could be done, so it would be nice to post an example css for formatting a checkbox. or can it be done by jsf itself? it would be nice from you to tell me.
thx

Use layout="lineDirection". It's an attribute on the selectManyCheckbox tag.
No need for CSS in this particular solution.
Please use the TLD docs to find out what attributes are available and what they do:

SWF with xml and css to flv format..need help

I have slideshow that is your typical stand alone .swf with accompanying .xml and .css configuration files along with a folder for the images. I don't have the .fla
I need to flatten this or merge it all together to create an flv. Is this possible and if so how do I do this?
Because this is a client I can't just re-create another slide show..it needs to be exactly the same. For me to redo it entirely in fla would be so very time consuming as the slides have 2-3 different effects each and to get the timing exactly right would be near impossible.
I hope someone has a magical solution for me.

Actually Rob, right after posting I came across a post mentioning screen
recorders and tried 5 of them. However, I am either not using the right
settings or the progs I tried weren't good enough cause all of them have
some freeze and jump during recording and the vids don't come out smooth. I
think this may be because although they allow you to set frames per seconds
for recording, they all vary that setting during the actual recording. I can
see the frames per second going from 18 to 12. I am not really experienced
in video.
Here's the list of those I tried: CamStudio, Free screen recorder, BB
Flashback2 express, BSR screen recorder 4 and ZealSoft.
If you happen to know of a really good one or what the right settings might
be I'd be glad to hear it.
By the way, so far, you seem to be the only one who got my question
right..all other replies I got from varying forums tell me to google swf
converters.
Thanks bud.

HTML and CSS Best Practices for Eloqua?

Hello Topliners Community,
My name is Ben and I am a Web Designer. I am currently looking for any guidance on HTML and CSS best practices when working with Eloqua. I am interested in the best practices for e-mail and landing pages.
Thank you,
Ben

Personally I like to upload my custom created html/css into Eloqua instead of using the WYSIWYG.
But if you must then right clicking on text boxes and click edit source is the way to go.
There was a good discussion on editing your forms with CSS:

Lossing encoding and css paths during .forward()

hi, I have created this doGet() method in the entry serlvet of my appliction
public void doGet(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws ServletException, IOException
          PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
                    request.setCharacterEncoding((String)context.getAttribute("encoding"));
          RequestDispatcher rd = getServletContext().getRequestDispatcher("/jsp/index.jsp");
          rd.forward(request, response);
     }however after the forwad() I lose the encoding and the formating (.css) of the page. The page is right, but instead of non-latin letters I get "?????" and the .css files have not been loaded.
if I type http://localhost/<APP_WEB_PATH>/jsp/index.jsp on the browser, the page is displayed correctly.
The servlet file is located under WEB-INF/classes and the getContextPath() method returns the directory where my application islocated...
I use Tomcat 6 as a web server.
Any ideas?

thanks,
I am not sure I understood. My starting Serlvet class is in /webapps/<app_name>/WEB-INF/classes
my JSPs are in webapps/jsp/ folder.
in my index.jsp file (which is called by the starting Controller servlet) I have a
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="../css/default.css" media="screen" />how can I point to the right path for default.css?
and why I also lose the encoding? In index.jsp I get ????? instead of words.

Losing CSS Formatting

I am losing the effect of CSS formatting in Dreamweaver Live View and Preview. In Design View, the Web Page shows CSS formatted boxes, shading, borders and fonts.
What could be causing the CSS formatting ot disappear in Live View and Preview while it shows corrctly in Design View ?
I cannot see anything evidently wrong with HTML that includes the style sheet in the web page. I made a small change to the page design and now find I cannot recover the CSS formatting. Or at least not so far....

You would have to provide the HTML/ CSS code. Usualyl when formatting disappers you eitehr have an invalid tag (the design view tries to catches such stuff) or a global CCS rule that overrides others.

No css format on page created from template

We are running Dreamweaver 8.0 on a Windows 2000 & a
Windows XP machine.
After re-creating a site (local site is now pointing to a
file on a locally networked computer) I created a template (.dwt)
file. The template looks fine.
When I try to create a web page from the template all the css
formatting disappears. (Although if I ignore that and dump text
into the editable portion the page looks ok after transfer to the
"live" site.) The href created by Dreamweaver from the site info
is: file://networkcomputer/deptfolder/website/my.css
What do I need to change and will Dreamweaver translate an
altered href correctly when transferring a new page to the "live"
site?

This looks right -
<link rel="stylesheet" href="../pplpage.css"
type="text/css" />
assuming that is the correct location of the CSS file in your
site. Is it
at the root level?

Playing movies and changing format of DVD's with QT Pro

I bought QT Pro and I seem not to understand the instructions on how to open up DVD's and converting them for my iPod.

QuickTime Pro can't even play Hollywood (CSS protected) DVD's.
It also can't extract audio from muxed (MPEG 1 or 2 and Flash) formats.

PL/SQL Server Pages (PSPs) and CSS

Hi,
I am used to creating standards compliant websites using XHTML and CSS and some other application language for dynamic content. I have recently started working with PL/SQL and want to create an application using PSPs. I was wondering the best way to go about including CSS in an application, because it doesn't make sense to duplication the CSS on each page, but since the PSP is converted to a procedure this seesm to be the only way to include CSS?
Any ideas on best practice for using CSS with PSPs?

I think you should be able to put all your CSS into a single file, or only a few files, like in a normal web project and that you can include this file using the regular HTML tag.
You store your CSS file(s) in a folder that is accessible by your website. Normally this is achieved by adding an Alias in the Apache webserver that is embedded in the Oracle database.
If I remember it correctly (it has been a while since I saw the embedded webserver) your request for your PSP goes to an url like http://your.server.com/pls/your_page. Everything of the url that comes after /pls/ is handled by the mod_plsql Apache module that is repsonsible for sending the request to the database and returning the result to the screen.
If you can define an alias like 'css' (without the quotes), which makes the url something like http://your.server.com/css/, then you can try to include your CSS file(s) referring to /css/file.css. Once you get this working, you can do the same for images.
This is a generic approach that can get you started hopefully.
Good luck.
I hope this can get you started. Information on the alias can be found

Unable to load wsdl. if currently online please verify the uri and or format of the wsdl

Hi,
i have one aspx page in which i have embeded an swf object,
which calls webservice to load data,
it works fine on localhost,
but when uploaded it gives the error no 2032 stream error ,
i added the crossdomain.xml in the root project then that error was gone and found the following error,
"unable to load wsdl. if currently online please verify the uri and or format of the wsdl"
Can anybody help me with this?
Any elp or suggestion will be appriciated.
Thank You.

I had the same error message and I believe I added the -use-network=true to the additional compiler arguments to fix the problem. The default value for this should be true.
Sorry if this doesn't help...It's just a guess.

Converting from PDF directly to Java Objects/XML (and PDF format questions)

Hi,
I posted this originally in the Acrobat Windows forums but was told I might have more luck here, so here goes:
I am desperately trying to find a tool (preferably open source but commercial is fine also) that will sit on top of a PDF and allow me to query it's text for content and formatting (I don't care about images). I have found some tools that get me part of the way there, but nothing that seems to provide an end-to-end solution but is quite lightweight. My main question is WHY are there so many tools that go from PDF to RTF, and many tools that go from RTF to XML, but NONE that I can find that go PDF to XML.
To clarify, by formatting I simply mean whether a line/block of text is bold/italic, and its font size. I am not concerned with exact position on the page. The background is that I will be searching PDFs and assigning importance to whether text is a heading/bodytext etc. We already have a search tool in place so implementing a pure PDF search engine is not an option. I need a lightweight tool that simply allows me to either make calls directly to the PDF OR converts to XML which I can parse.
Some tools I have tried:
1) PDFBox (Java Library) - Allows the extraction of text content easily, but doesn't seem to have good support for formatting.
2) JPedal (Java Library) - Allows extraction of text content easily, and supports formatting IF XML structured data is in the PDF (not the case for my data).
3) Nitro PDF (Tool) + RTF to XML (script) - This works quite nicely and shows that PDF to XML is possible, but why do I have to use 2 tools? Also, these are not libraries I can integrate into my app.
4) iText (Java Library) - Seems great at creating PDFs but poor at extracting content.
I don't really expect someone to give me a perfect solution (although that would be nice!).
Instead, what I'd like to know is WHY tools support PDF to RTF/Word/whatever retaining formatting, and other tools support RTF to XML with the formatting information retained. What is it about PDF and RTF/Word that makes it feasible to convert that way, but not to XML. Also, as I found in 3) above, it is perfectly feasible to end up as XML from PDF, so why do no tools support this reliably!
Many thanks for any advice from PDF gurus.

XML doesn't mean anything - it's just a generic concept for structuring
information. You need a specific GRAMMAR of XML to mean anything. So what
grammar would you use? Something standard? Make up your own?
However, there are a number of commercial and open source products that can
convert PDF to various XML grammars - SVG, ABW, and various custom grammars.
But the other thing you need to understand is that most PDF files do not
have any structure associated with them (as you saw when using JPEDAL). As
such, any concepts of paragraphs/sections/tables/etc. Are WILD GUESSES by
the software in question.

Exporting report as PDF and CSV formats same time with out executing DB query twice

Post Author: cpriyanka
CA Forum: Exporting
I am using Crystal Report 9.0 version and Java.
I am getting "PrintOutputController" from "ReportClientDocument"
And then by calling export(ReportExportFormat.PDF) generating PDF format report.
Now I need to generate both PDF and CSV format files same time. How can it be done?
My understanding is when we call "export" it does the DB query execution and other functionality.
In that case, if I call "export" two times with two different formats, then DB query will be executed twice and that takes lot of time.
To avoid, is there a way I can all some API so DB query executed once, but I can export report in to multiple formats?
I appreciate your help.
Thanks.

Post Author: cjmorris1201

Hello,
Are you using the "pull" or "push" method for your crystal reports? If you are using the "pull" method (the report itself executes the sql) then I believe there is no way around having the query execute twice since it is fired off each time you open and export the report.
If you use the "push" method, however, then you can just create the recordset/dataset and then set the datasouce once for the report.
Here's a broad overview of push and pull though the Crystal Report Viewer is used. The viewer may or may not be applicable in your case:

With Reports 10G can you customize you message and stop formatting?

Oracle, states to come here for answer. they said, OTN should be able to help.
If any one knows how this can be done can you please help me out?
thanks,
We were told this was fixed with 10G so we upgraded to 10G. We have a
report and we want it to execute if it's less than 10 records if not we want a
message to come up that the report needs to be scheduled.
Well we run the report and it displays exceeded record count but the format
still runs so no time saved on the web.
If the record count was exceeded we want to HALT the system and not go any
farther.
Now if we could modify the system message 1825 we would be o.k. But we don't
know if that is going to work. If we could change the message we would be
o.k. with that. that would mean changing the system codes though.
### How is the Report being called (Command line, URL or via Oracle Forms): ###
If false comes back in the beginning then we don't want any report formatting
to be done. Right now the format is done it seems but no data is displayed
because criteria isn't met.
So we dont wnat the formatting to be run when criteria isn't met. But for
some
reason it still runs and takes time.
See we have some reports on the web that can only be ran by date range right
now the clients can only run the reports for a 6 months range.. Well some
clients have a lot smaller record count. So we want to change the way the
reports are ran to a records count. If the count is large than said amount
then a message comes up that states the report has to be scheduled. If the
amount is under said amount then the report runs.
So at this time in the report we do a count then we move onto will the report
run or not if over the amount we want to abort the process but we don't want
the client to see the abort. We definately don't want the client to sit and
wait for the format to run when NO Data is to be returned.
### Error messages and error scenario: ###
So what we want is too see a message "Schedule the report count exceeded" and
NO formatting done. If under amount we want the report to run.
### Provide a detailed step-by-step description of your problem or question: ###
Or is there a way to customize the messages the client / users will see. And
no formatting time for no records returned.

21-SEP-04 15:38:39 GMT
Hi Darlene!!
As talked to you on phone, here are the steps for you to try.
The below has been run as a test case using emp table in scott schema of a database
1) create a summary coloumn say cs_1 in the data model.
2) point the function to count.
3) Point the source to what ever's count you want it to be pointed to(say empno of emp table of
scott schema)
4) create a user parameter say NO_ROWS
5) in its property palette make its data type number and initial value as 1
6) I had teh following query for my report:
select empno, ename from emp
where rownum <= :no_rows
This means that the report that will be generated will consist of a total no of NO_ROWS(that we
shall be specifying at run time). The before report trigger(mentioned in 7 below) shall assure
that whenever we specify NO_ROWS greater than 5 then the report will display a customized pop up
message.
7) create a before report trigger as:
function BeforeReport return boolean is
user_excp EXCEPTION;
begin
if :cs_1 >5 then
raise user_excp;
return (false);
else
return true;
end if;
EXCEPTION
WHEN user_excp then
SRW.MESSAGE(30, 'Data is more please schedule this report:');
raise SRW.PROGRAM_ABORT;
return (false);
end;
This way when u run a report, an argument is asked whether how many rows do you want to be
displayed as in the parameter NO_ROWS. then you specify the number. If that number is greater
than 5(in this case, due to if :cs_1 > 5 then....) then it will pop up a message saying "Data is
more please schedule this report:"
In case you do not want to specify NO_ROWS..then you need not put that and modify the report
query as "select empno, empname from emp;" i.e. without where clause.

New info : Information from the person that did this suggestion step by step.
I tried this step by step, but unfortunately, it doesn't work the way we want.
First with this suggestion, the user needs to choose how many records they
want
to get, or we default a number of records, in order to run the report. The most
important thing is, whenever you specify the statement return false or raise
SRW.PROGRAM_ABORT in the before report trigger, the system message will pop up.
I really hope that people from Oracle would let us know how to customize the
system message or hide it.
23-SEP-04 14:23:04 GMT
New info : I just thought that we have some sort of message, which I guess is
from the database, when we do claim search on client inquiry. I am just
wondering if we could try the same thing to the report.
The some sort of message looks like this on dev box:
Your search exceeded 5000 records and will surpass the capabilities of this
connection. Please narrow the search criteria and resubmit.
It's just a thought, not sure if it's going to work.
When could we have the DBA Make this change. The servlet.properties???

Hi Darlene,
I am sorry to say that but I don't think there is any any workaround to this because the system message is what is generated by the oracle reports i
nternally. Still if you wish you may refer to the otn discussion forum which is
maintained by teh product management group and post a new thread on it. the link
to the forum is Reports
Also since nothing can be done on our side I don't see any reason to keep this TAR open an
d if you wish we can soft close this.
Thanks
Regards
Ajit.
New info : Shouldn't there always be a way to do something? I don't understand
why we were told in 10G that this could be done and now we are told it can't.

Yep - not nice...unless you do a TE 'Get Info' in the Finder and √ the 'Open in 32-bit mode' box and try again...then, all seems well in snow leopard land.
Really? I figure since I have a Core Duo chip, everything always opens in 32-bit mode. In any case, I did file a bug report and will give your suggestion a try later today.

How can I embed files of word, excel, and pdf format in a pdf document

I have a word document of the product, which I am updating for next product release. However, there are some excel, word, and pdf files embedded within a word document. When I double click these embedded files in word, these files open in a new window. However, we deliver documentation to the customer in the pdf format. Therefore, when I am converting the word document in the pdf format, only an icon of the embedded file is displayed and the files do not open in a new window. Can someone let me know how can I embed these files (in word, excel, and pdf format) in a pdf document?

You must attach them to the PDF file after it is created. You cannot embed file attachments onto a page as you can with Word.

There are some wireless external hard drives that can be used with the iPad.
The Kingston Wi-Drive, which costs $50 for the 16 Gigabyte, and then $30 more for every 16 gigs more. It works by you turning it on and then accessing the files on it from an app that you download on your iDevice. You can access music, movies, and other stuff. No connections or anything, it works like a WiFi connection, you connect to it from the setting on the iPad under wireless networks.
Then there is the Seagate GoFlex, which some would recommend over the Wi-Drive. But this one costs $199 and had 500 Gigabytes of storage. It works the sameway as the Kingston: no wires, runs over its wireless connection. You can actually fit up to 300 HD movies on it.
Another option:
