Show/hide linked layers

In webdev it is not unsual that design involves multiple variations like "pages" where mostly header and footer stays the same while its "content" (the page itself) changes. And then simulate a navigation by means of hiding and unhiding each respective "page" folder. Where also the site's menu tranforms as "navigation" evolves.
It is a bit frustrating in order to achieve this to have to create a lot of duplicated menu folders and place'em under every "page" just to represent this selected links. And then if you have to redesign that menu, you have it spreaded throught several folder locations.
I think being able to hide/unhide linked layers at a glance of a click would be nice to have and would allow you a more strealined work while redesigning linked portions.
Any toughts on this or workarounds? Glad to hear.

Are you familiar with Layer Comps?
And then if you have to redesign that menu, you have it spreaded throught several folder locations.
Please try using Smart Objects.

Can anyone tell me how to show/hide several layers simultaneously?

Hello
Can anyone show me how to make more than one layer visible or invisible without having to click on each separate layer? - I have more than 100 layers in a drawing, and it is very tedious to keep having to click on each layer individually to hide it or show it. I have just started using Photoshop Elements 13, on an iMac
Thanks for any advice.

You can Option click on the eye beside the layer thumbnail icon to hide all but the selected layer(s).
Option click again to show all the layers.
Command click to toggle the selected layer visibilty on/off
To hide multiple layers, select the layers, right click on one the eyes and click on Hide this layer
Repeat to make the layers visible again.
You can also click on one the eyes and then drag down or up to hide multiple layers and reverse to make the layers visible.

Need help with show/hide and layers moving

I'm more of a designer, so I don't know code or CSS well at
all. I'm doing an online portfolio for a class and need help with
layers not staying in place in different browsers. The portfolio is
created with a table, but I wanted to use the show/hide function
for thumbnails of work. Are layers the only way you can use this
function? I read layers don't work well with tables, so how else
can I make it so when you mouse over a thumbnail, the larger image
appears in another cell?

> I don't know code or CSS well at all.
That's unfortunate.
> layers not staying in place in different browsers.
Layers don't move. But the rest of your page does.
Before you get too wrapped up in layers, though, please read
this -
http://www.great-web-sights.com/g_layerlaws.asp
They are not good when be used as a primary layout method.
> I read layers don't work well with tables
They work fine with tables - but you have to understand both
tables and
layers to use them.
Why not show us your page, so we can see what you are
struggling with?

Show/Hide Links

I am creating an employee site with DWCS3 for my school
district. I am using php with a mysql database. I am not really
skilled in mysql or php. The Tech Serv dept created the database. I
have been able to connect to the employee database with DW and
users can login using the login page I created with DW. Each user
also has an access level, either staff or administrator (admin). I
know that I can restrict access to an administrator page based on
username, password, and access level. However, I have been asked to
not even have the administrator link visible on the index.php page
if a person is not logged in as an administrator. What is wanted is
for an individual to login and if they are at the staff access
level, then they will see all the links to other areas on the
employee site except the link for administrators. If an
administrator logs in, that person will see all the links everyone
else sees and a link - Administrator - and then have access to
those pages as well. I thought this had something to do with
regions, but I can't figure it out. Can anyone explain how I might
do this.
Thank you,
--Linda

It's a simple conditional statement.
if ($_SESSION['MM_UserGroup'] == 'administrator') {
// show links for administrators only
Replace 'administrator' with whatever you use for the admin
access level.

Can`t hide link in Collapsible Panel

Hi all.
Have one problem. Сan`t realize in Collapsible Panel show/hide function with Close & Hide links.
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Dreamweaver/10.0_Using/WS6A1887F2-D97C-48a9-A26C-C311CE4B1F83. html
Get sample from here-> http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/samples/collapsiblepanel/collapsible_panel_sample. html (Open Panel with Link)
Sorry for english - hope all write !
1) Try with Layers - but this layers don`t clinging to necessary place =(
2) Through <div> tags (apDiv1 - without parametrs (only id))
a) Out of Collapsible Panel. Сan`t expose in row AP Elements - hidden for "apDiv1". By default this tag is visible & not exposed to hidden-in this panel nothing to change.
<p><div id="apDiv1"><a href="#" onclick="CollapsiblePanel1.open();MM_showHideLayers('apDiv1','','hide','apDiv2','','show')">Open Panel</a></div>
-------<div id="apDiv2"><a href="#" onclick="CollapsiblePanel1.close();MM_showHideLayers('apDiv1','','show','apDiv2','','hide')">Close Panel</a></div>
</p>
<div id="CollapsiblePanel1" class="CollapsiblePanel">
<div class="CollapsiblePanelTab"><a href="#">Open Panel with Link </a></div>
<div class="CollapsiblePanelContent">
<p>This Collapsible Panel is opened and closed with a link. </p>
</div>
</div>
(And this variant does not make)
b) Inwardly "CollapsiblePanelTab".But making apDiv1 or apDiv2 hidden - CollapsiblePanelTab is disappears.
<div id="CollapsiblePanel2" class="CollapsiblePanel">
<div class="CollapsiblePanelTab"><div id="apDiv1"><a href="#" onclick="CollapsiblePanel2.open();">Open Panel</a></div> | <div id="apDiv2"><a href="#" onclick="CollapsiblePanel2.close();">Close Panel</a></div></div>
<div class="CollapsiblePanelContent">
<p>text2</p>
</div>
</div>
3)Show hide links?
<a href="#" onclick="return toggleMiniToc('minitoc-links', this);" class="hideLink">Hide</a>
But I d`t understand how to do what!
What wrong way?

Hi,
It is ok to not working the link because like this was
designed. When you click o a collapsible panel tab, you want to
open the new tab, not to follow the link if this exist.
So this behavior was added on purpose. If you want to disable
this behavior, you should go on th SpryCollapsiblePanel.js file and
remove the stopPropagation function.

Show/hide layer bug PS 12.01.x64?

I know that you OPT-Cllick on the eyeball to show or hide multiple layers in PS on the Mac. I could hide all by OPT-clicking on one eyeball. But OPT-Clicking it again did not show all the hidden layers again. It did nothing. Even after several reboots.I had to manually turn on all the layers.
But then I CONTROL-Clicked on the eyeball to bring up the context menu, which said "Show/Hide all layers" and somehow that woke up the show/hide function when OPT-Clicking on an eyeball. So now everything works normally. The FNCT-Click (or right mouse button) on the eyeball has become a switch to turn on the OPT-Click behavior.
Anyone else notice this?
Thanks

The second Option+Eyeball click is a not a "show hidden layers" command, it goes to the previous state of visible layers... so if you opt+eyeball+click to just see one layer, then for whatever reason make another layer visible, or hide that layer and make another visible, or if you manually hid all but one layer, then that second opt+eyeball+click will appear not to work (if your expectation is to have all the layers become visible)
Kind of a convoluted answer there! But try that out and see if that is what you are experiencing.
I think at one point, quite a few versions ago, the opt+eyeball+click was a "show this layer/show all hidden layers" command. But Adobe changed the behavior because the second opt+click would make every layer visible, including the layers you had intentionally hidden.

Getting Stale Data error in show/hide of Advance table

Hi,
Am using hide/show in advance table.If open the hide/show in 1st row then it shows correct data ,if i click the next row's show hide then its shows the same result as ist row, and i try to use show/hide link more thann three times then it throws stale data error given below.
The requested page contains stale data. This error could have been caused through the use of the browser's navigation buttons (the browser Back button, for example).
Cause:
The record with primary key values {1400} could not be found in view object MisForecastHeadOfiiceAM.InnerTableVO_OuterInnerVL_InnerTableVO.
To proceed, please select the Home link at the top of the application page to return to the main menu. Then, access this page again using the application's navigation controls (menu, links, and so on) instead of using the browser's navigation controls like Back and Forward.
This problem doen't exsist when i deplo it to the server.
But recently i marked if open a show/hide link of a row and add then add another row to the table and save.Then the same problem reflects in the instance also.
What may be the possible cause.
Thanks

if i click the next row's show hide then its shows the same result as ist row, and i try to use show/hide link more thann three times then it throws stale data error given below.
>>> Seems like your VO linking is not proper. Does your VO have primary keys defined? Do you have any custom code on these VO?

Text rollover with show/hide layer behavior

How can I set text to change colors when you roll over it AND
to have it show/hide other layers at the same time, while still
keeping the new rollover color?
For instance, when you scroll over a word in a list, it
highlights that word, reveals more layers (ie, text and images),
and all that stays there until you rollover something else
Im using Dreamweaver 2004 and its been quite a while since
Ive been able to get into it.
Thanks!

Let's say you have the given content, some text in my example
in a layer identified as layer1.
<div id="layer1">some text</div>
In order to set a different font-colour at the mouseover
event you need to add this code to your css file:
#layer{
color:#000000;}
#layer:hover{
color:#DDDDDD;}
According to the code above the some text in the layer will
be displayed with black and at mouseover event it will be changed
to silver.
If you want to hide/show certain text you may use opacity
style attributum or implement something like the mootools slide
effect (
http://demos.mootools.net/Fx.Slide).
Hope this helps:)

Issue while readnig child records of Advanced Table after show/hide event.

Hi All,
As suggested in OAF dev guide, I used below piece of code to get control on Child items for selected Parent
-- code Starts
// get a handle to inner table
OATableBean innerTable =
(OATableBean)webBean.findChildRecursive("InnerTableBean");
// create an enumerator
OAInnerDataObjectEnumerator enum =
new OAInnerDataObjectEnumerator(pageContext, innerTable);
while (enum.hasMoreElements())
RowSet innerRowSet = (RowSet) enum.nextElement();
// get all rows
Row []rowsInRange = innerRowSet.getAllRowsInRange();
for (int i = 0; i < rowsInRange.length; i++)
Row nextRow = (Row) rowsInRange;
-- code Ends
The above piece of code works when I don’t select show/hide link of Adv table and select custom ‘Update Parent/Child’ button that is placed at header(parent) level,
upon btn event it returns all the rows of parent and works fine. But when I select show/hide link and then select ‘Update Parent/Child’ button then only it return no of Child rows displayed (fetched) on page...
For example, If I have 100 child records of a set and only 10 child rows are displayed at a time on child region , then above code only returns 10 records,
Ideally it suppose to return all 100 values.
Can someone please help on this to understand why it only return 10 records not all 100 after selecting Hide show region ? and how can I fix this issue.
Thanks
Anand

Hi,
Use the VO attached to the inner table and use VO.fetchedRowCount instead of rowsInRange.length in the for loop.
int rowcount = vo.fetchedRowCount();
i.e. for (int i = 0; i < rowcount ; i++)
Thanks,
Kumar

Making links that show/hide layers?

Hi all,
I created an InDesign cs4 file which is pretty much a guide for users of my liveCicle form. I have a bunch of layers in the file.
I'm trying to make links associated with images that are in its own layers. So when i export the file to pdf and hit certain link, layer associated with that link shows up. I tryed to do this in acrobat 9 pro. I created links, but the problem is that links in non visible layers work behind the scene when i hover over.
Is there a way to set layer visability in inDesign CS4?
Thanks in advance

No you can´t toggle layer visibility with buttons made in indesign. You have to finish it in Acrobat....
Only way to make something appear or disappear in ID is to use show/hide buttons action...
You can convert those images you want to show&hide to buttons. Then you can create another buttons to show or hide them.
If you export as PDF, default state of a button can be hidden...

DW: Show-Hide Layers

Hey, I’m having two issues with the Show-Hide Layers
behaviour in Dreamweaver and was wondering if someone else has had
the same problems and has a solution.
My test page is
http://www.petermcphee.com/dreamweaver/popup-layer.html
1) What I would like is to show the layer when the link is
hovered over, which works fine. However, I also want the layer to
remain visible while the mouse is over the layer and disappear when
the mouse leaves the layer.
I Googled for a while and found some tutorials that deal with
showing/hiding layers but they hide the layers once the mouse
leaves the original link, not the layer.
2) Also, the site that I want to apply this behaviour to has
an auto centering wrapper box, so I would like the layer to popup
right underneath the link every time without converting the entire
site to absolute positioning. As it is now, the popup appears at
different locations depending how wide my browser is.
Is this even possible with the current DW functionality?
Thanks a lot!
Peter.

When you show the layer, also show an underlying layer that
contains a
transparent GIF image that is about 10px wider/taller than
the layer you
show. Apply a hide layer behavior to the GIF image that hides
both the
layer you just showed, and the underlying layer. Remove the
mouseout hide
event from the original trigger. Does that make sense?

Change this -
</head>
to this -
<style type="text/css">

</style>
</head>
change this -
<body ...>
to this -
<body ...>
<div id="wrapper">
and this -
</body>
to this -

</div>
</body>
and see if that helps.

How to show/hide a link column in a report, depending on another column?

Sorry, thread duplicated.
Edited by: Andres Vilallave on 14-may-2010 15:31

Hello,
I had a situation similar to this. I had NULL selected in the column when I wanted to hide the link. Please find below more explenation:-
<b>example report </b>
Interactive Report
Col1     col2     col3
1          a1       a2
2          b1       b2
-           c1       c2
-           d1       d2
-------------------------------------------In the above Report <b><i>col1</i></b> is a link . Upon clicking this, user should will be directed to Page XX
so, when data in col2 of report is c1 or d1[can be a different display condition, you may want to implement this with CASE or anyother SQL construct] , I selected NULL which will not show the link.
so, my point is, if the SQL you have in the INTERACTIVE REPORT is creative enough to have NULL in the column, Link is not enabled.
Hope I got your problem correct.
Thanks,
Chaitu.

Can someone please help? Show/Hide layers

Hi there,
I am making a site for a friend and am having some weirdness
that I can't figure out. I have a series of layers that show/hide
based on various selections. Nothing complicated by any means. I am
using the Dreamweaver Show-hide layers functionality. I am sure I
have used it before in exactly the same way and not had this
problem.
So here is what it is. The page loads and most of the layers
are set to hidden and then they get toggled on/off based on various
selections. For some reason when the page loads in IE, all of the
layers are visible. In Firefox they are hidden as intended.
If someone has come across this before, or could take a
moment to look at the site, I would be very grateful. I have stared
at this and tweaked it so much that I am at a loss and I know that
my friend is really needing her site to just be up and running.
Also, now that I think of it, (and this is more of a nuisance
than a problem) I am using the snap layers extension to position my
layers. When you look at my site you will see that the layers look
crazy when the page loads and then eventually move into place. Is
there a way to make it so the layers are just already in place? Or
even if they could not become visible until after they have
snapped?
Thanks in advance. I really do appreciate any help you could
provide.
The address for the test server is

I agree with the honest answer. This is a very poor way to
make a page.
Nevertheless, in DW's design view, use the A/P Element panel,
and make sure
that the eyeball icon is CLOSED for each layer that you want
to be hidden
when the page loads. Then save and upload the page.

Show/Hide layers?

I am creating a multimedia book. I want to have a button on the page that when clicked will bring up a flash movie in the center of the page and then a button to click that will make it go away.
I have done this quite easily in dreamweaver for websites by a show/hide layers button but do not see how to do it in indesign.
Thanks for any help...

You can't build that functionality in with InDesign — but you can with Acrobat Pro. You've got to use the form builder functions to create a button that will show or hide another element.

Rather than use layers and as your site appears to be table
based - you
could try this tut........
