Stacking images via css...

how can I stack an image on top of a cell that already
contains CSS?
you are only alotted one background-image in the CSS...so,
for example, I've got a 1px x 20 px tall graphic that repeats a
pattern within its cell. Now I want to add another image within
that cell and have it centered on top of the pattern. How?
Also, I'd like to know why it is that sometimes my table
cells are fixed an other times they are flexible. How does one set
it so that a table cell will not collapse or have flexibility -- so
it will conform to the dimensions I assign it? -- Is it as simple
as making sure it's a defined attribute in the tag?
thanks

Here's an example...
a background image to the left cell via the stylesheet and an
image inserted
into a table cell.

  • Spry Photo Gallery Image Size via CSS

    Hello!
    I´ve been customizing the spry photo gallery for a couple of time, but got my little problem when viewing it on a mobile phone. When you load up the pictures with a size of 450 x 300 px for example, put up the right xml file with it´s width and height, so the gallery shows the pictures in that size. So what I want to do is that you can specify the image size with css depending on the device you´re watching the site with. There is div in the css called "mainImage" where the size is in %. When you change it to 75% for example. The pictures are correctly shown with 75% of it´s original size, but the outline (grey background) is still in 100%. When you make this grey background transparent it´s still there and moves the caption down. I guess there have to be done some changes within the SpryImageViewer.js, but I just know very little things about JavaScript. Do you have any clues how to change this to specify the image size via CSS?
    Thank you for your help!!!
    Kind regards,
    Joerg

    I see you are still using Spry 1.5. Have you considered upgrading to 
    Spry 1.6.1?
    Also your XML is broken, if you open up your xml in a normal standards 
    complaint browser such as firefox, you will see that it doesn't render
    a normal tree view as it would do with other xml files. So i suggest 
    checking those errors out.
    Its mainly because you  forgot to close your starting tag of the 
    gallerys node. (<gallery
    base = ""
    background = "#FFFFFF"
    banner = "#F0F0F0"
    text = "#000000"
    link = "#0000FF"
    alink = "#FF0000"
    vlink = "#800080"
    before your xml starts.

    What is the proper way to load images from css in Java 8?
    Ref
    How to load images from css file in JavaFX 8 - Stack Overflow

    There is nothing special to do - you execute the statement from your program just like any other SQL statement.  The only thing to be aware of are the privilege/permission issues:
    When loading from a file on a client computer:
    READ CLIENT FILE privilege is also required for the database user.
    Read privileges are required on the directory being read from.
    The allow_read_client_file database option must be enabled.
    The read_client_file secure feature must be enabled.
    Revoking these privileges is also the only way you can prevent a user from executing the statement.

  • Link styles via CSS...

    Hi,
    I would like to control my link styles within my CSS panel,
    but if I set up one set (up, over, blah, blah)...how about if I
    want yet another style set for link text that's within a different
    color cell? Is it possible? How?
    Also, I have controlled background imagery and copy via CSS.
    But I would like to add ALT tags to portions of the background
    image. My properties inspector won't bring it up as an option due
    to the CSS. Do I just have to work with the HTML instead of the
    visuals?
    -- Same situation for the 'hot spot' tool, and I really need
    to use it but my bg image is unselectable due to it being inserted
    via CSS. The Properties doesn't "see it". How do I get around that?
    thank you!!
    thanks!

  • How reference images in css

    Hi Everybody,
    how can i reference images in css of a JspDynPage? Until now i used the following piece of code which only works if i put the css inside my jsp file. What could be the reason? When i put the css part in a seperate file the images are not referenced.
    index.jsp:
    <%     String mimeUrl = componentRequest.getWebResourcePath(); %>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href='<%=mimeUrl+"/css/myStyle.css"%>' type="text/css" />
    <ul class="glossymenu">
         <li><a href="http://www.dynamicdrive.com/style/"><b>CSS</b></a></li>
         <li><a href="http://www.dynamicdrive.com/forums/"><b>Forums</b></a></li>     
    </ul>
    myStyle.css:
    <style>
    .glossymenu{
         position: relative;
         padding: 0 0 0 34px;
         margin: 0 auto 0 auto;
         background: url(<%=mimeUrl%>/images/menub_bg.gif) repeat-x;     
         height: 46px;
         list-style: none;
    </style>

    Hi,
    the jsp code in your css file is never executed by the server. This line of code in your css file will remain the same (check by accessing the css file via your browser):
    url(<%=mimeUrl%>/images/menub_bg.gif)
    your options are:
    - add the full path in your css file (add the <%=mimeUrl%>/images/menub_bg.gif as a temporary printout to your jsp and view the full path)
    - put this section or all of the css definition locally in your jsp file
    - create a jsp file with all the css definitions that is included as a jsp file
    JSP code will only execute within jsp pages which are rendered by the application server. Any code added to external files such as js or css files will not render.
    Cheers,
    Dion

  • Images, JFS, CSS - How to display the correct aspect ratio

    Hello,
    This is not really related to Jave ServerFaces, however, since I am using JSF to build my application, I thought I would post it here.
    I am trying to display images by using the following tag
    <h:graphicImage style="height:200;width:140;border-width: 0;"
    value="img/#{group.items[1].picFileName}-s.jpg"
    alt="#{mainMenuController.item.customerFacingName}"/>The above tag is doing what it is supposed to do, that is display an image with height: 200 and width: 140, which is equal to the aspect ratio
    of 1.43 (=200/143).
    However, some of the images that I want to display, do not have
    the aspect ratio of 1.43. As a result of that, their height or width is modified according to the above values. This distorts some of the imsage.
    I was wondering if some one else had faced that problem and solved it. One solution that can work is to edit the images to produce an aspect ratio of 1.43, however, editing the individual images is not feasible.
    One probable solution that comes to mind is via CSS: that is by FLOATing the image in a box of fixed height and width. By doing this, the aspect ratio of the image will not be affected. I do not know if FLOATing an image in a box is possible or not. I do not know how to float an image in a box.
    More over, I am using Tiles to control the layout. Defining an image box within a <DIV> tag might complicate things.
    Any ideas, comment, suggestion will be heplful!

  • How to open and validate the tif images via java?

    Is it possible to open and validating the photoshop images via java. Kindly advise me.
    Thanks for looking into this.
    Maria Prabudass

    I have recently looked at athe code for Image Processor.
    To avoid bailing on errors it uses two techniques.
    1) It turns off all PS error reporting in addition to just turning off dialogs with:     app.displayDialogs = DialogModes.NO;  (it restores the original settings when exiting)
    2) It uses the Javascript construct  Try.....Catch around the basic body of the code so "any" error will not abort the script but just jump to the "Catch" code.
    Hope that is useful

  • Problem using image via URL

    Hi everybody
    I have a problem with loading images via URL into my PDFs.
    I am using LCD ES2 Version 9.0.1....
    I want to create a PDF which loads images from the internet but it does not work.
    So far I have tried to add an image or image field to my PDF in the LCD and populate that image using the Object-->Field-->URL: palett. I put the URL in there like this http://www.adobe.com/imageshome/pdfgift_home.gif , tick the "embed image Data" checkbox (also tried with without that just to be sure) and save as Dynamic PDF (I also tried static) but when I open the PDF in adobe reader 9 or 10 or acrobat  9 there is no image showing. I also put the image in a subform and made that subform flowed, as well as the page itself and made the binding global.
    I have the form properties - default set to "Acrobat and Adobe Reader version 9.0 or higher", Default Language to JavaScript, PDF Render format to Dynamic PDF.
    I also tried using JavaScript events like "form:ready ImageField2.value.#image.href = "http://www.adobe.com/imageshome/pdfgift_home.gif" as discribed here http://partners.adobe.com/public/developer/en/tips/lc_dynamic_images.pdf but that also does not work.
    What am I missing?
    Any help would be great and greatly appreciated!!!
    Thanks and best regards
    Norbert

    As far as I can tell, this use case is not allowed because of cross site references related security concerns. The form can refer to the images stored on the same server from where the PDF is served, but the images cannot come from external servers.

  • Can't view shared images via browser

    I use an old version of Skype, and I do not want to update. Whenever somebody sends an image via Skype, I see this message:
      <user> sent a photo.
      This device doesn't support Skype's new photo sharing features yet, but you can still view it in your browser here:
      https://api.asm.skype.com/s/i?[...]
    When I go to the link, it asks me to log into Skype, when I login, I see a page saying "Sorry, we were unable to open this photo. Try signing into Skype again.". No matter how many times I log in again, it still shows this message.
    Please help.
    Thank you.

    If the recipient is also using one of the latest Skype versions (on Windows it must be 6.21 or later), a preview of this image will be displayed in the chat window.
    On older Skype versions, only a link (similar to the one as you are seeing) to this image saved on the Cloud server is displayed.
    Theoretically, clicking on this link and signing in with your Skype account should display this image in your browser.
    If this was not the case, then the image might have been corrupted or there is an issue with your browser. What browser have you used to open this link?
    I use Google Chrome, the latest beta version (40.0.2214.85 beta-m). I find this unlikely that this particular image is corrupted, because I can view it with Skype on my phone, and this issue happens with all images shared via Skype, as far as I can tell.
    I have not tried to open the image links in Chrome, but it works with both Firefox and Internet Explorer.
    Make sure that you have the latest IE version installed on your computer and try to open this link in IE.

  • Send HTML Email with Embedded Images and CSS

    Hi All,
    I have a html page. I want to send that html page(not with attachment) with all images and css. i search and try but I cant find a good solution. can any one help... plz..........
    Thank You.....

    If you want to send the html page and have it
    reference the images and css files on your web
    site, that's pretty easy. Just create a message
    with text/html content that is your html page.
    If you want to include all the images and css files
    in your message along with the html page, you'll
    need to create a multipart/related message and
    you'll need to change all the html to reference the
    images and css files using "cid:" references.

  • Can table cell vertical alignment be defined via CSS?

    In a table cell (ie, "td") is there a way to define "valign" via CSS, instead of the table cell proper?
    In other words, instead of...
    <table>
    <tr>
    <td valign="top">
    ...is it possible to do :
    <table>
    <tr>
    <td class="top">
    ...and somehow let the stylesheet define the vertical alignment?
    I'm asking because none of the attribute presets in Dreamweaver CS4 seem to provide for vertical alignment. Everything else on God's green earth seems to be there, but table cell vertical alignment seems to be the ONLY thing CSS forgot about.

    How about giving the class "top": text-align:center. Or even the tag "td" in your stylesheet. Does that help?

  • Blur edges in stacked image output file

    Hi,
    I'm using the auto align and auto blend feature to stacked images for increased DOF. My source files are clean no ghosting, blur or what ever. After I run the files through the auto align and then auto blend  I flatten  the stack of layers. The final output file has blurring around the edges. I use the blended output files for creating panorama's. Notice the two bands of blur
    Does anyone know how to eliminate the blurred boarders in the out files or a btter way to get the result I'm looking for?
    thanks

    That's a lot of conversions. On top of that, iDVD takes your MP4 and makes an MPEG2. So you have a VHS file that was transfered to DVD (VOB file)? Then from DVD to MP4, from MP4 to MPEG2. Each conversion loosed something. On top of the Long GOP compression (DVD, MP4, MPEG2) means most frame information is thrown away. Long GOP looks at one frame (I-Frame) then records only the motion difference between that I-Frame and the next 14 frames (or so). So fast motion is difficult for any MPEG encoder, including iDVD. For more info on long GOP on a DVD:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MPEG-2
    To improve the quality, I would try to go back to the original VHS material and import that as a DV file, NOT a VOB or otherwise compressed file. VHS to DV. After that, I would then split the 95-minute program into two movies for two DVDs. Getting the content under 60-minutes will allow for a higher bit rate on the DVD. And the only way to improve motion scenes is to use a higher bit rate (and less conversions!).

  • HT201269 ibook stopped transferring images via image capture. last month it worked. i hav an old ibook and i cannot update to newest itunes. which is fine. however, i need the image capture to take photos off my iphone 5. no, i dont want to use i cloud.

    ibook stopped transferring images via image capture. last month it worked. i hav an old ibook and i cannot update to newest itunes. which is fine. however, i need the image capture to take photos off my iphone 5. no, i dont want to use i cloud. i would actually like to just plug it in to the usb drive the old fashioned way

    I don't believe the iOS7 update was the cause for your issue. I have three devices all updated and they all show the Import To drop menu in Image Capture as shown below.

  • Stacked image hidden from search

    Today I was missing an image from the catalogue. I knew it had to be there but I couldn't see it.
    I tried to import it again, but the import dialogue indicated that the image had already been imported. Yet, I couldn't see it in the folder where it should have been (all filters turned off, of course).
    I used the library search filter to search for the image using its file name (which I knew as I could see the file on the drive) but to no avail.
    Q: Where was the image?
    A: It was hidden in a stack.
    Yes, perhaps a rookie mistake (I just started using Lightroom), but does anybody else agree that the search for the filename should have unearthed the location of the image in the catalogue? Once I had the image unstacked, I could find it using the filename search.
    I don't think it would be practical for a user to unstack images first before they have a chance finding them through a search.
    I didn't submit this as a bug report because it may be a "feature" rather than a "bug". I invite others to share with me whether they also think it is a bug that stacked images are completely hidden from a search.
    N.B. I find it irritating that I cannot move stacks as a whole to a different folder or collection. What's the point of an aggregation if only the top image is moved/copied?
    The reason wny I mention this second issue here is that either a stack should be treated as a single entity (contained images are not found in searches and are moved with the top image) or it should be treated it as a lose connection between a sequence of images (only the top image gets moved and "connected" images are found through searches (library filters)).

     this is a BIG BUG in my mind. if I search for an image by name I don't care where it is, I should find it.
    This is rather a design issue that will not be fixed quickly, I'm afraid. In LR, the process of finding an image is tightly associated with the idea of showing it. And the very same code is used in all LR operations when it comes to display images in the Library module. If we want LR to "find" an image located in a collapsed stack, a different way of displaying the filtering results must be implemented.
    This is bothering me since the beginning. I also regularly have problems because of images hidden in a stack. For example, after I have edited a few images in a stack, the XMP files for those files are no longer in sync with the catalog (I have disabled automatic saving of XMP files for performance reasons). If I collapse the stack, hit Ctrl A to select all images in the folder and then Ctrl-S to update the XMP files, the XMP files corresponding to the images hidden in a stack will not be updated. I must remember to expand all stacks (or not collapse them) before doing this. Since we are unable to filter on this criteria (the XMP file status), this is obviously an inconsistent and misleading behavior.
    IMHO (as a former developer), this example demonstrates that there's something wrong in the LR design. The presentation layer (the code showing us the contents of the library) might be too strongly coupled with the data layer (or application layer), the code manipulating the library data. A common problem in software design. Mistakes made in this area during the design phase are difficult to fix because they are not "simple" bugs. They require changes in the program architecture.
    My two cents...
