Some pages use master text frame, others don't. Fix?

It turns out in my document, some of my pages have a master text frame and others don't. Many don't. It must be the way I created the frames, accidentally creating independent frames. Is there a fool proof way not to accieentally create independent frames and is there a good way to make sure all these pages with independent frames are turned back into master text frames?
What I can do is delete the independent frame, then link the previous frame to the inside of the master text frame (I think I used to drop the link on a ruler too often and that creates an independent frame that is in most cases indistinguishable from a master text frame). This is tedious to do for the entire document. Is there an easier way?

It sounds like you understand what happened. Clicking the place gun cusror on any type of guide will ignore your master frames. Overriding a master text frame before placing the text and Shift-clicking in the overridden frame will also ignore the master frames on subsequent pages.
The bes thing you can do is keep your eyse open to watch the shape of the cursor. If ID is going to use an existing frame the cursor will be surrounded by parentheses and a new frame will use a cursor with a square upper left corner. You should also develop the habit of clicking in empty areas away from guides if you are using existing frames -- you don't need to click at the top of these frames.
It's also possible that you did everything correctly and you are working in a facing pages file and at some point added or deleted a single page somewhere other than the end. That would cause all following pages to switch sides and master objects would be reapplied behind any overridden frames.
There is no easy way to deal with extra frames. If they are not causing a problem you may be able to simply ignore them.

CS4 editable master text frames in CS5 no longer editable

Hi,
Problem: Text frames on CS4 document pages (from locked text frames on masterpage) are no longer editable on CS5 document pages.
CS4 situation:
Masterpages contain text frames which are locked to prevent users from inadvertently moving them when working on document pages.
On document pages, the text frames can be edited, i.e. text entered, but are position-locked.
CS5 problem:
When you now open the same document, the text frames on the document pages are totally locked, the positioning as well as the content. This means they are no longer editable! The only way I have found to make them editable once again is to unlock the text frames. But unlocking also removes the position lock.
What do I have to do to get things working in CS5 like they were in CS4? Any quick solution or is this simply no longer possible?
Confounded by InDesign once again...

Yes, it works just like in CS4! Wunderbar!
As I just had some trouble finding the where to change this setting,
for anyone working with the German version of InDesign CS5:
Menü: Bearbeiten > Voreinstellungen > Allgemein
then under "Objektbearbeitung", remove the checkmark from "Auswahl von gesperrten Objekten verhindern"
Thanks!

I am making a multiple page document and need some pages to be landscape and others to be portrait. How can I do this?

I am making a multiple page document and need some pages to be landscape and others to be portrait. How can I do this?

In pages you can only have one orientation of the Page. You have to rotate the content on the pages that you want horizontal. Save the document in Pages format so you'll have a original version to work on. Then Export to or Print to PDF and open the document in Preview. Here you can rotate the pages to horizontal viewing.

IPad bombs out returns to home page using Google Earth and other random Apps, why and how can I prevent it happening?

iPad bombs out returns to home page using Google Earth and other random Apps, why and how can I prevent it happening?

Quit/close all apps and restart the iPad.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
You can try this as well.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

Master Text Frame for Page Heading

Hello, I am new to indesign and using CS4. Sorry if this is a newbie question.
I am creating a pdf digital presentation and laying it out. I want to create a consistent header on each page in the top left corner and ensure it is in the exact same location on each page. I also want to make sure the text size, font, and color is consistent on each page. Most importantly, if I need to change anything, lets say a font, I want to only do it in one place and not do it on all 20 pages in my document.
My understanding is to add a text frame to the master page. However, how do I edit the text on each page and not have it show on my cover page which is page 1 of my document?
Thanks!!!!

Create a text frame on the master page (make it wide enough and deep enough for the longest heading)
Insert some generic text like "Heading"
Give it a paragraph style
Adjust the paragraph style to your liking
Go to each page you want to change, and CTRL SHIFT (cmd shift on mac) and double click the "Heading"
Change the text to what you want it to look like.
To alter the text colour/font etc. for all of them - adjust the paragraph style
To edit the text style for each heading so they look different in terms of colour etc. - just change the Character Colour via the swatches.
if you do this, then any changes to the Paragraph style should follow through on all pages - except where you've perhaps changed the character colour (or any other hand-adjusted changes to the text.
Also - if you move the Text Frame on the master page they should all move on the corresponding pages, provided you haven't moved them by hand on the actual pages.

Firefox allows me to add some pages as bookmarks and not others. For pages that don't work: when I click the star, it turns blue when I click, then goes back to being empty.

Last night I finally sat down to learn how to use Bookmarks. I had no problem creating and organizing bookmarks, but there are some pages that I cannot bookmark. One, for example, is the Gmail log-in page, which I use multiple times a day. I type in www.gmail.com, which routes me to a longer URL and the log-in page. When I click the star to make this page a bookmark, it won't work. I've also tried using the menu option "Bookmark This Page," which also doesn't work for this website. It's seems to be hit and miss as to when Firefox will allow me to bookmark a page and when it won't. I've had no problem adding many other pages; it just seems that with a handful of them I run into this issue.
I've tried closing Firefox and re-opening, which doesn't help, but that is about the extent of my troubleshooting attempts. This problem has been an issue for me for a couple of years and through several versions of Firefox. (I think I am currently running the most recent version.) It actually led me to believe early on that either Firefox Bookmarks didn't work or I just didn't have the time to figure it out. So since I've been using Firefox I have been repeatedly typing the names of my most frequented sites. I finally took time to sit down with it again last night and have found that Bookmarks will be a huge help. If I could only get ALL of my favorite pages to work...

None of the stuff in " http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locked_or_damaged_places.sqlite " helps. I have tried and tried and I have even wipe the computer clean still didn't help. I got the same problem as he/she has got in the first posted. Can add some web pages but not all the web pages I want.. I should have never updated to 3.6.13... That's when it all started for me, from that version..... Now Version 3.6.14 is out, I was hoping the version 3.6.14 might would fix the problem wrong again....
Funny thing is i can not even Bookmark Firefox.com!!!!!...lol
So any ideas on how to fix it other than the link giving would help.
Thanks.

How to map more than one xml element with some Paragraph in a Text Frame

Hi friends,
I am new in InDesign Java Scripting and I have to place or map, more than one xml elements of different parents, into one textbox. Is it possible through JavaScript? Can anyone help me in this because I have no idea how it should work and it urgently required.
Thanks in Advance

I had answered to you already in your first post: the short answer is that it's not possible on the same text box unless you assign a common ancestor of these two "parents" item. That's not a question of scripting, it's the way Indesign handle the XML with the layout. Import a xml in Indesign and drop tags to page item. What you can do manually is quite representative of what can be done through scripting.
If you assign this anscestor to the text frame, you have to expect that all text child items will be displayed in the text frame (including the text of all the child of the two "parents" and all the other parents/childs that could be under the common ancestor). Having a XML that is designed for Indesign usage is pretty much inevitable if you are doing anything "serious".

I want to force SSL on some pages and NO SSL on other pages

I have looked at webflow and it is not obviously clear to me how to:
1. Enforce NON SSL on some pages ... (like search page, catalog, product list pages ) to improve performance.
2. Force SSL on other pages .... (like account edit page, beyond the obvious checkout pages)
One way I was thinking off was to use a URL rewrite intercept to do that.
The webflow seems to be a mechanism to build page flows enforcing SSL on the next page called. But what if the user is the person directly clicking on a link that should be SSL'ed say Account Update.
Currently ... we are ssl'ing the whole site.
Mike

I have it within an ascx control which appears on each page. Alternatively, within the common.master.master codebehind page load event. I think the problem with the webflow is that you need to know which page a user is coming from to be able to take them into (and then out of) secure mode. This code ensures that certain pages are secure and others are not.
Also, Fname in the above example is the name of the page that is being requested:
Fname = mid(Request.Path, Request.Path.LastIndexOf("/") +2,len(Request.Path) - (Request.Path.LastIndexOf("/") +1) )

Type in text on a page, use that text in an animation

Hi
I've been reading up and starting to play with Edge Animate CC, but I can't write any of the code myself. (I used to be a programmer so I can "read" it, but I haven't learnt any languages in years.) As well as my video job I am also the Director of a children's theatre company and I have an interesting idea which I hope Edge Animate can do...
Our show is improvised from children's ideas, they help us write a book. We'd love to have an animation of a book on screen which has the title we've been given by the audience. We don't have time to add the title to an After Effects animation and render it out, but I did wonder if we could make the animation in Edge Animate and play it live in HTML5. Ideally we'd have a text box, our live tech would type the name into this, and then an animated webpage would appear which uses the text they've typed in.
So how do we do this? Need to store input from a text field, hide the text field after (so our tech can turn on our live screen without showing it), then play an animation which includes the words stored from the input.
I have no idea if this is possible or where to start! Does anyone know or want to experiment with the basics of it?
Thanks
Matt Andrews

Yes, I believe you could do this. You can store the value of the input text and then load it where you want in the composition.
Below is how an input field works:
var message = sym.$("message");
inputMessage = $('<textarea />').attr({'type':'textarea','rows':'10', 'cols': '25','value':'', 'id':'message'});
inputMessage .css ('font-size', 14);
inputMessage .css ('background-color', '#0a81fb');
inputMessage .css ('box-shadow', '#0a81fb');
inputMessage .css ('width', 350);
//inputMessage .css ('height', 200);
inputMessage .appendTo(message);
Below is how you get the value:
var messageInfo = inputMessage.attr("value");
Then you could put it in another text field somewhere:
sym.$('anotherText').html(messageInfo);
Or something similar.

Justification for using Oracle Text vs Other Search Tools

Hello,
Can someone give me good cause (justification) for utilizing Oracle Text over other tools out there that are not tied directly to Oracle?
Apparently it is possible to identify metadata within text and do keyfield and keyword searches this way with other tools, but I question the accuracy, speed, or value in terms of data relationships with this approach. I feel the relationships belong in the database along with the indexes but can't convince anyone of this.
Has anyone experience working with Oracle Text where relationships help to drive the search and can give me good cause to this approach?
thanks

Tools like Autonomy have fantastic searching functions, far in excess of what we get with Text. What they aren't very good at is the database side of things. So if your prime concern is to be able to search free text documents on your file system using a baroque range of filters then Text is not the right choice. But if you want to join the outcomes of free text searches with structured data in database tables or if the text you want to search is stored in database tables then using Oracle's built-in functionality is the better approach.
From your post I'm not sure which scenario fits your situation more closely.
Cheers, APC

Cannot access certain web pages using ANY browser (when other systems can)

(As [BDAqua|http://discussions.apple.com/profile.jspa?userID=528118] noted, this issue may be separate from [that which Alexander Solo is experiencing|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1467311], though many aspects are the same or very similar. I've mostly copied my original post in that thread to this new one).
I'm having trouble accessing a handful of particular web pages/domains, from my Mac Mini G4, using Safari (latest), Firefox (latest), Camino, Opera, Mozilla, IE, OmniWeb... I've tried every browser I have. It's really a problem as I'm taking a course in Web App Development now where we need to be able to access a course site which uses the code we are learning... and I can't because the page just doesn't load. There are lots of other students in the program using Macs, even members of the course team... I'm the only one who can't load that page.
Anyway, a seemingly-random few sites just don't load for me, consistently... some of them are important to me, others not so, but one is critical and it's been driving me bonkers. It's not a router issue, since it doesn't matter where I'm plugged into the router and my wife's Dell notebook (Vista) accesses any of these pages (when she has it here). A friend of mine was also able to access them, both from his house and plugged into the same router as I was, at the same time (Dell notebook/XP Pro).
A few of the pages that won't load:
[https://telemat.open.ac.uk/ssl-logons/tt380mf/tt380_login.cfm]
(The course web page... other https pages at the Open University load fine, though, so it doesn't seem to be an https issue.)
http://www.hotmail.com quickly redirects twice, stopping at:
[http://login.live.com/?id=2] ... and then does nothing... I don't use Hotmail, but my wife sometimes tries to access it (or was trying) if she leaves her notebook at work.
I also can't load any page on the versiontracker website:
[http://www.versiontracker.com] ... that is really a drag for me.
There are a few, seemingly random, other sites that just don't load and haven't been loading for about a couple of months now. I don't know if I might have installed some bad app or something (I've checked and my system is negative for the DNSChanger trojan... not that I've ever visited pr0n sites... ).
The problem has persisted through re-boots of the system and the router. I've tried booting from a firewire backup drive (I believe that one was still pre-security-release 2008-002, but otherwise nearly the same) and the problem persisted in all browsers. I've tried terminating processes that I didn't think were necessary to be running. I've tried fixing permissions, running diagnostic/repair apps, anything and everything I could think of. When attempting to find a solution on Google, I found a number of other mainstream news sites and such which also didn't load (at all), even after several minutes, but I haven't ; and of course trying to find mention of the problem in a Google search yields waaay too many irrelevant hits to have yielded an answer. I'm starting to suspect malware, since the problem doesn't make any sense and, if a culprit wrote something to do this, in addition to the "random" sites, they might block certain sites where we might find answers. I found a few more sites which didn't load (news sites and such) when I was doing a run through what Google could come up with. One of significance was:
[CNET's news.com domain|http://www.news.com> ... Though I haven't had a chance to have another local user check, it seems to fit the pattern of the others (doesn't load in Safari or Firefox, etc) and doesn't load even if I use the IP address: [216.239.113.101|216.239.113.101]
In short: It sounds like just the same [problem Alexander Solo is having|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1467311], except that I can access the site he can't, so it's not a situation where we can say "technology x is running on these sites and our pre-Intel Macs don't like it."
In short, I've tried everything I could think of to troubleshoot this problem (drive utilities, searches for known malware, terminating unnecessary processes, re-starting my system and router... so any help or ideas would be most appreciated.
--Lowell

I should add something which may indicate that I'm experiencing two separate issues: when it comes to news.com, versiontracker.com and other sites I've been unable to access, it's never seemed to matter whether I try to access a particular page on the site or the site root.
In the case of my course website, however, I'm able to at least partially load the course chair's (more-or-less empty) "home page" at the site root. It may be that packets from other people trying to access the site are not following anything like the same route, but I really know very little about all that. I had anticipated being completed moving to Bristol (England) by now (most of the other students on this "correspondence" course are in England), but my Mac is still sitting in Frankfurt, Germany. In any case, what loads of the site root, loads verrrrry slowly. Following is output of an attempted "traceroute" to the IP (a second attempt followed the same pathway with similar results):

Since my wife's (Vista) Dell notebook can access these sites from the same router (and I was able too for a while), I'm beginning to suspect that the issues may have started with my update to OS X 10.4.11 or the first security update. It has been quite a while since we've successfully been able load Hotmail (in any browser) on this machine. My smug "Mac guy" superiority is taking a serious hit with these issues...

Session-scope variable for JSP page used in a frame

Hi,
I don't know if there's a way to do this at the same time:
(1)- assign session scope to a variable (in order to be able to retrieve recurrently the previous value each time the JSP is called);
(2)- set its visibility in a way that it could be accessed only by the page that defines it. The JSP is used in a frameset along with an other JSP that can potentially define identical session-scoped variable (You understand why I want to keep them separate)
session.setAttribute():
seems not to be the thing I need
pageContext.setAttribute():
with SESSION_SCOPE, it behaves the same way as session.setAttribute(). with PAGE_SCOPE, condition (1) can't be satisfied.
Does anybody have an idea ?
Thanx in advance.

I can see that you will not want to maintain two different files for every possible page on the site!
It may be possible to do something like <frameset rows="*" cols="50%,*">
<frame name="content1" src="file.jsp?frame=one" >
<frame name="content2" src="file.jsp?frame=two" >
</frameset>and then in the jsp<%
String frame=request.getParameter("frame");
session.setAttribute(frame+"AttributeName",attributeValue);
%>This will set up two session attributes - "oneAttributeName" and "twoAttributeName". Depending on how many variables you have, this may prove just as difficult to maintain.
You may end up having to simply pass url parameters between pages to maintain state within the individual frames, which is far from elegant also.
I am interested in how you end up solving this one.

Some Apple apps saturate images (sometimes), others don't.

I have some over saturation happening with images in Safari, Preview and Quick Look.
Can anyone confirm similar issues? I've seen a few similar postings so far.
The image might be fine in Firefox or ViewIt (3rd party application) but in Safari a given photo will have a bit more saturation.
It's not all Apple applications. Aperture shows the same image just fine.
Here are a couple examples on my site.
1st is a screen shot of iWeb on the left and a Safari window on right.

2nd is a screen shot of a Safari window on left with a Firefox window on right. <http://poofter.org/poofterblog/SaturatedSafari1.jpg>
Funny thing is, it doesn't happen each time I use Safari.
Right now, it had been happening in Safari, Preview and Quick Look, then was only happening in Quick Look. I didn't make any changes to my system or reload Safari. I had closed Preview and opened it back up.
Since it was OK suddenly in Safari and Preview but not in Quick Look, I Force Quit Finder. Voila, that put Quick Look in line with the two applications I've mentioned with issues here.
I have a feeling the issues will come back though, since they've been with me pretty much since 10.5.1.
It happens regardless of the display color profile I am using also.
Can anyone else confirm this?

While researching for clues about this before I made this post, I saw this might be the case.
My issue has been the opposite though, a few programs have not gone along with what seems to be the system norm.
It may be true, Safari, Preview and Quick Look (which is part of Finder I guess) may have their own separate ways of interpreting things.
I should send this discussion link to <http://www.apple.com/feedback>

Why some jar applet are cached and other don't?

Hi all,
i've an application with some signed applets.
In some applets every update is immediately visible in Java console, in other applets i need to clear jar file stored in jvm cache to see my updates.
Anybody knows how?
Thanx a lot in advance
Andrea

Hi,
tnx for you response. You are right, jars aren't downloaded until they ary modified.
the problem is that in jvm cache these jar result expired (expire date is set to "yesterday") and i don't know why..
if u pleas can help me...
many thanx
Bye
Andrea
