Simple Template Help

Hello, I hope someone can help, I need some help. I'm a
dreamweaver newbie. Came over from Frontpage.
I am trying to make a flexible template and I'm having
problems. I've watched the adobe video on templates but this hasn't
helped me out.
I'm working on a portion of my website that will have
multiple pages with the same header AND the same drop down menus. I
am trying to build the editable region of my template with tables.
I want one table to be a 2 column, 2 row table. One of the columns
is reserved for Google ads. and the other column I want to be
"editable" with text and photos.
My problem is that I am not able to get the freedom I want in
my editable regions. I want to be able to add more tables within
the editable cells. I'm just NOT getting the flexibility I need in
the editable regions of my template. Help!!! I've been trying to
build this for hours without getting it figured out.
Appreciate any advice and I will gladly add more details if
necessary. Here is the page I'm trying to make a template out of.

Be aware that DW will 'expect' you to know lots more about
HTML and CSS than
FP did. That transition may be rocky for you.
For your page -
<html>
<head>
You're going to want to have a doctype there! Without it,
your page will
render in quirks mode - a very bad thing. Try adding this
above the <html>
tag -
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01
Transitional//EN"
http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
Umm - you can remove this -
<meta name="GENERATOR" content="Microsoft FrontPage
4.0">
<meta name="ProgId"
content="FrontPage.Editor.Document">
<meta name="Microsoft Border" content="tl, default">
Now tell us -

What is preventing you from adding these tables? This should
be a piece of
cake. And why do you have so many optional regions?

  • Flash Site Template Help With Text

    So I downloaded a flash template to use for my website... all I need are some editing of the texts, pictures, and some of those links. Here is the template:
    http://www.templatemonster.com/flash-templates/24451.html
    My problem is I'm completely NEW at flash. I used to use FrongPage 2003 for my webdesign but I wanna use this for my new website (since it looks a lot better!) How do I edit the text fields? I can only seem to move the bar along the timeline to watch the animation, and see all the layers and item properties that none have anything with the text in them. And also the images as well, if I need to do anything special with those (within template link above you'll see they flash white for a second) and the main logo has some animation there. I have all the fonts required but I don't know if I also have to make the logo with those special white flashy lines like a GIF animator or if that's just some special affect within the template itself.
    Now due to legal notices specified by the site I can't share the template with you but I'll attempt to answer any and all questions i can to see if I can get this all figured out so I can begin adding my own content to the site. Thanks in advance.

    Doesn't look like there's an xml file for the text. Reading the template help index, and its saying some text might have complex coding for special effects and that I'd have to edit by the Library or something, so I'll try using that reference for now. I appreciate the help and I may come back if this can't help me lol
    EDIT:   It says I'm missing the font file "tahoma" mapped to _sans    ....??  I have tahoma... as well as the main title logo isn't appearing in the .fla file anymore even though I got the correct font. I'm confused >.<
    Edit 2: As well I get this a lot on many different areas:
    Forms Component - Version 0.81
    Couldn't load configuration.

  • Make a simple template

    Hello,
    I bought the Core Java Server Faces book and I would like to have an environment similar to the examples given in the book.
    What I want to do is I want to make very simple templates with only the basic JAR libraries that I don't need yet.
    The problem I'm having is setting up Studio Creator for a very basic environment. Is there a way to strip the IDE of the JDBC, UI components so I can work with the core JSF/HTML tags?
    In particular, I want to remove the
    <ui:link binding="#{Page1.link1}" id="link1" url="/resources/stylesheet.css"/>
    and the other <ui:/> components from automatically appearing when I try to view the "Design" page.
    Is this possible? or sticking to a text editor like vim and gedit the only way to do this?

    Get NetBeans from http://www.netbeans.org/.
    Java Studio Creator is based on NetBeans, with the addition of advanced features for building web applications. NetBeans is more general purpose, with extensive support for a wide range of Java and related technologies. As your needs become more advanced, see http://developers.sun.com/prodtech/javatools/ for more NetBeans based IDE focused on the needs of different developers.

  • Newbie Needs Template Help

    Ok I am a complete newbie to flash. I have read most of the guides provided and searched the forums but I honestly can't find an answer to my question.
    I have decided to use one of the templates provided with my flash pro cs5. It is the advanced album.
    My question:  how do I use it?  
    I know it gives me generalized instructions when it opens but for the life of me I cannot figure out where or how to put my photos in.
    I am using the template because when I try to make an album from scratch I also cant seem to get it to work right (the images just fly through on the preview)
    thanks in advance for the help!

    Hello wiccanluvr1988,
    To make photos show up in the 'Advanced Photo Template' you have to do the following steps...
    1.Store your project .fla file inside a folder.
    2.Put all your photos inside that folder that you want in the Photo Template.
    3.Now you have to go inside the actions frame of the template and change line 11 with this code below by adding your own photo directory.
    Line 11:
    var hardcodedXML:String="<photos><image title='Your Photo'>images/yourphoto.png</image><image title='Your Photo 2'>folder/yourphoto2.png</image></photos>";
    Simple Explained Form:
    var hardcodedXML:String="<photos><image title='Image title here...'>Put image directory here</image>
    /*Repeat this line of code with new photo directories to display more photos*/ <image title='Image title for 2nd photo...'>Image directory here for 2nd photo</image>
    </photos>";
    I hope this helped...

  • Newbie to numbers, does anyone have a simple template  for rental property?

    I am new to numbers, I need a simple program or template to track income and expenses for a rental property that I just purchased.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks
    John

    John,
    You may search the web to find a ready made template but this is really a do-it-yourself type of situation that you tailor to meet your needs. Not being a landlord, I can only guess as to how i would set this up. And after using it for awhile I'm sure that modifications would be required to meet situations I had not expected.
    At any rate, perhaps the simple example below will get you thinking. All the formulas are simple addition/subtraction or SUM() situations so I've not listed them. If you need help however, feel free to ask.

  • CS 5.5 Image Gallery Template help

    I think there is a simple fix to my issue, but as this is my first time using Flash and Actionscript, I cannot seem to figure it out on my own.
    I am using the template under Media Playback>Advanced Photo Album.  If you look at the template's code you will see it uses a hardcoded XML string for the variable to read in the images.  What I need it to do is read the first line of an external XML file to be stored in the same directory as the Flash file.  The first and only line of data that will be in the XML file is going to be in identical format to the string used for the pre-written hardcoded XML string. Which is this:
    "<photos><image title='Test 1'>image1.jpg</image><image title='Test 2'>image2.jpg</image><image title='Test 3'>image3.jpg</image><image title='Test 4'>image4.jpg</image></photos>". 
    I need this to read this way because I have a bash script on my server which auto generates an xml file with the first line formatted this way based on the file names within the directory, in which I will be placing images to be viewed in the slideshow.
    Thanks in advance for any help

    The file is currently named "images.xml".
    Here is the pieces of code, that involve the variable I need changed, from a new template (since I have messed around with my current project trying to load in an external file based on sites I've found by Googling, the code has been changed a bit)
    import fl.data.DataProvider;import fl.events.ListEvent;import fl.transitions.*;import fl.controls.*;  // USER CONFIG SETTINGS =====var secondsDelay:Number = 2;var autoStart:Boolean = true;var transitionOn:Boolean = true; // true, falsevar transitionType:String = "Fade"; // Blinds, Fade, Fly, Iris, Photo, PixelDissolve, Rotate, Squeeze, Wipe, Zoom, Randomvar hardcodedXML:String="<photos><image title='Test 1'>image1.jpg</image><image title='Test 2'>image2.jpg</image><image title='Test 3'>image3.jpg</image><image title='Test 4'>image4.jpg</image></photos>";// END USER CONFIG SETTINGS  // DECLARE VARIABLES AND OBJECTS =====var imageList:XML = new XML();var currentImageID:Number = 0;var imageDP:DataProvider = new DataProvider();var slideshowTimer:Timer = new Timer((secondsDelay*1000), 0);// END DECLARATIONS  // CODE FOR HARDCODED XML =====imageList = XML(hardcodedXML);fl_parseImageXML(imageList);// END CODE FOR HARDCODED XML // FUNCTIONS AND LOGIC =====function fl_parseImageXML(imageXML:XML):void{          var imagesNodes:XMLList = imageXML.children();          for(var i in imagesNodes)          {                    var imgURL:String = imagesNodes[i];                    var imgTitle:String = imagesNodes[i].attribute("title");                    imageDP.addItem({label:imgTitle, source:imgURL, imgID:i});          }          imageTiles.dataProvider = imageDP;          imageHolder.imageLoader.source = imageDP.getItemAt(currentImageID).source;          title_txt.text = imageDP.getItemAt(currentImageID).label;} 
    However, if it will be more helpful I will post the entire template code below here, though I believe the sections above are all that would be needing a change.
    import fl.data.DataProvider;import fl.events.ListEvent;import fl.transitions.*;import fl.controls.*;  // USER CONFIG SETTINGS =====var secondsDelay:Number = 2;var autoStart:Boolean = true;var

  • Simple button help needed!

    I want to make a simple round button that glows when you
    mouse over it and depresses when you click it.
    Apparently to do this I need to use Filters to make the glow
    and bevels. But Filtersonly work on movie clips, buttons and text.
    So I make a circle and convert it into a button symbol
    (Btn1). Then I make another button symbol (Btn2) and use the first
    button symbol (Btn 1) on the Up Over and Down frames of Btn 2.
    Assorted Filters are applied to Btn 1 on the Up Over and Down
    frames to get the effects I want.
    I test the button (Btn2) using Enable Simple Buttons. It
    works perfectly - glows on mouse over and depresses on click. Then
    I try Test Movie -- and the button doesn't work!!!
    Not does it work when exported as a SWF file!!!
    I watched a tutorial video that came with my Flash Pro 8
    Hands-On-Training (HOT) book and he used pretty much the same
    technique -- except he only tested his button with Enable Simple
    Buttons. I'll bet my house his didn't work with Test Movie either!
    The stupid thing, is I was just able to achieve exactly what
    I wanted very quickly using LiveMotion 2!
    What is wrong here? Why is it so impossible to create a glow
    button in Flash? Why has it been easy in Live Motion for years?
    All help appreciated!
    Thanks
    craig

    I thought the nesting button situation might be the problem
    BUT there is no other way to apply Filters to Up, Down, etc. Also,
    a freaking tutorial book described that as a valid method, but
    obviously it ain't.
    I tried using movieclips as well but basically had the same
    problem.
    I mentioned LiveMotion 2 because that ancient program can do
    easily what Flash Pro 8 seems incapable of.
    What is the logic behind not allowing Filters to be applied
    to simple graphics? It's absurd!
    There's got to be a way...

  • Simple Button Help

    Hi
    I am new to flash and having a bit of trouble. All I would
    like to do is be able to create a button and have that button
    navigate to a frame.
    What I am doing now is:
    Insert - New Symbol - Button and name the button (ex: about)
    Go through the up/over/down/hit steps and return to scene 1
    I then drag the about button onto the stage
    I give the about button the instance name of about_btn
    In the action layer, I enter the following code:
    stop();
    _root.about_btn.onRelease = function(){
    gotoAndStop("about");
    "about" being the keyframe I would like to go to
    When I test the button, I get error 1120: "Access of
    undefined property onrelease".
    I am working on adobe flash cs3 on a pc. I know this is a
    very simple issue and any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you.

    what have you done so far? what don't you know how to do?
    where are you stuck at? need way more detail to help any
    further.

  • How to create matrix template help pls

    hi frs,
    i have generated xml file after creating matrix report in report builder.
    i want to know how to create matrix template(rtf) in word document.
    if i use wizard or insert> all fields i am not getting rtf like matrix.
    help pls
    Thanks
    Rajesh

    This issue is really becoming a problem for us. Does anyone have any examples of label templates. The label when generated automatically converts from pontrait to landscape. If you increase the size of the template then word complains about the page and margin size before printing.
    Anyone have any ideas?

  • Both side chatting with simple GUI ,,helps pls?

    guys I'm Java application programmer i don't have well knowledge in network programing ,,my question ,,,from where should i start to design a simple GUI client*s* server chat program ,i mean some thing like simple yahoo messenger the program should include also adding contact and make that contact appears ON if he login or OFF if he sign out like red color for ON-line contact and and white color for off-line contact ...........

    Dude , u r right ,,,but still its simple GUI issueI'm not sure why you are getting this impression. It's not a simple "GUI issue." Yes, you can simply create the GUI for this, but will it be functional? No. Furthermore, if it was so simple, why are you posting asking for help?
    For an instant message chat program, in addition to GUI programming, you need to know how client / server systems work and you need to implement one. A server should be running on one system and the client(s) will connect to it. The server usually maintains the buddy list and passes the messages to/from different clients. This presents several problems that you will need to solve:
    1. How will you develop a protocol between the client / server for communication?
    2. How will you authenticate users?
    3. How will you maintain the buddy list on the server (data structure, database, file)?
    4. How will you pass messages from one client to another (simple string message, serialized data object, etc.)?
    5. etc.
    Now, I'm not saying this is "impossible" so please don't take it that way. I'm simply trying to help you realize that there are a lot of factors to consider when developing this type of application.

    and for the "FTP?" ,,,its folder shearing as i said earlier every one of your friends can access it not FTP .....Talking about "folder sharing" is a whole other issue. What I meant by saying "FTP?" is, how do you plan on implementing "folder sharing" remotely? One option is FTP. How would you do it?

  • Creating a simple Template for multiple images

    Hello,
    I work for an online company, and we deal with displaying multiple images on our site.  I've been just cropping sets and just droping them in a file and organizing them that way, but I was wondering if there is a faster way of doing this in Photoshop with Templates maybe? but it needs to be easier and faster than the process I'm using now. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    When I read what you have written "we deal with displaying multiple images on our site.  I've been just cropping sets and just droping them in a file and organizing them that way, but I was wondering if there is a faster way of doing this in Photoshop with Templates maybe?" I don't comprehend what your doing now.   Photoshop is not a file editor however it can create files that have more then one image. Perhaps you could describe what you want to do.  What is a set, what is in the set, how many images in a set is that number always the same how do you want to crop do you have some layout in mind some size requirement?
