Strange CSS display

Recently my DW CS3 started to display strange empty CSS rules
on CSS panel.
Under my own created rules (blue) i have empty rules listed
on CSS rule properties panel such as lines at the bottom.
I checked the actual CSS file, seems it's clean. Looks like
something originating from Firefox (using v3.0.6) on local preview.
Is this is a display glitch, that I shouldn't worry about and
continue working or I need to clear them. However, deleting them is
not possible (delete is inactive for these items), and even it was
possible, it would take me ages deleting them individually as there
may be well over thousand.
Any suggestions please...

Strange text display in pdf using adobe reader exported by Indesign CS5

Hi there,
I have export an interactive pdf from indesign CS5 PC version with version 7 update, and it looks fine in most of the PC and Mac Adobe reader.
But 2 of the computer had strange text display. One is the iMAC with latest version of Adobe Reader
<== you can see the text "78" and "454" are abnormal
But with the same computer using Safari with perview plugin is showing following result:
<==you can see the text are normal.
The pdf is embedded with following fonts and property:
Another Windows XP with Adobe Acrobat 9 will had same display as the iMac.
I ensure the Windows XP don't have the font installed with HelveticaNeue and the Mac is using OS Lion Bundle with that font.
Now the customer blame it is the problem of the pdf created by me and I had no idea how to explain to my customer and find out solution.
I had a trial version of CC but same result and no error during the export.
Any idea is highly appreciate. The customer hotline and the live chat is hopeless as they send me to this community to ask since I use CS5 not the latest version.
Regards,
Ichi

Thanks Willi,
I had the fonts of Helvetica Neue bold light etc which created by Adobe and the font was created in 1993,shown in font property.
my PDF output is set to interactive not the print one. Other settings are default.
the purpose of this PDF is for user to print out and read on website. The funny thing is print out had no problem at all with HP and Ricoh printer using PCL 6 driver.
Despite Safari, the strange font happened in only Adobe product, other PDF reader had no problem such as foxit reader, xchange reader.
I tried to not embed the font but not able to do indesign, search in Google, it said it always embedded. Also that font family is preloaded in Mac OS.
I can try any test if there is a way to find out the solution.
or what should I do so the PDF should display correctly in all computer
thanks a lot.

Element Width 0 When Changing CSS Display

Hello
I have a webpage containing several Divs which contain individual 'pages'. I have defined the following CSS styles to control which the user sees:
.hideDiv{
    display: none;
.showDiv{
    display: inline;
I have a simple Javascript function which switched the CSS styles to display the required page:
function hideShow(hideDiv, showDiv){
          //alert("hideShow");
          if(document.getElementById(hideDiv)!=null){
                    document.getElementById(hideDiv).className = "hideDiv clear";
          if(document.getElementById(showDiv)!=null){
                    document.getElementById(hideDiv).className = "showDiv clear";
          return false;
Within each 'page' div are 1 or more simple tables containing images. The CSS on these tables positions them from the right like this:
<table style="position:absolute; right:40px; bottom:30px; z-index:1;">
          <tr><td>
                    <img src="{media}" alt="{mediaAlt}" style="display:block; position:relative;"/>
                    <p class="padCaption">{mediaCaption}</p>
          </td></tr>
</table>
When I display page 2 (the first page to have its CSS display property changed from 'none' to 'inline') the image is displayed off to the right and down too low. As soon as I slightly resize the browser window it jumps to the correct position.
I suspected that the browser was unable to ascertain the image's width and height and so assumes 0 pixels for both. This being the case the right and bottom edges were correctly positioned but only assuming the image has a width and height of 0 pixels!
I extended my Javascript function to check this and ,my thoughts were confirmed.
Fortunately (for once) our client has IE6 and this problem isn't seen by them. All of the elements in the complete html file apper to be cached when the page initially loads and it has no problem with the images.
We need to use Safari for some presentations and can't seem to resolve this. I tried positioning the div to one side and then moving it but it all happens before the UI updates and the browser is still none the wiser as to the dimensions of the image.
Any advice would be gratefully received.
Thanks
Chris

Hello Jon
Thanks for the prompt reply. Sorry I can't share the page but I can extract some elements to show. Each 'page' div is like this:

<div class="showDiv clear" id="page1">
    <div id="bgPic-components">
        
        <h1>Sub-Heading</span></h1>
        
        <div class="contentTextArea fullWidth">
            <div style="position:absolute; width:280px; z-index:2;">
                <p>Some body text here.</p>
            </div>
            <table style="position:absolute; right:40px; bottom:40px; z-index:0;">
                <tr><td>
                    <img src="../../medialibrary/3DI/3DI0315.02.01.jpg" style="display:block; position:relative; height:440px;"/>
                    <p class="padCaption">Annotation</p>
                </td></tr>
            </table>
            <table style="position:absolute; bottom:24px; z-index:0;">
            <tr><td>
                <img src="../../medialibrary/photographs/P0825.01.01.jpg" alt="" style="display:block; position:relative; height:300px"/>
                <p class="padCaption">Annotation</p>
            </td></tr>
        </table>
        </div>

Strange problem displaying external files (css includes)

Hope somebody can help me with this. First of all, I'm running mac os x 10.4.11 using dreamweaver 8.0.2.
Just recently i've been unable to display any external files (namingly my css; attached as includes) when I open a local document. Tried to delete my "site cache" as well as re-creating the site prefs and made sure "Display External Files" is checked under COMMANDS. Still nothing. Anyone have a idea it just all of a sudden stopped displaying all external fles???

Peter,
I tried testing the RSS feed using a FeedReader, and it works with that. But, when I try feed the same URL ( http://rss.cnn.com/rss/cnn_topstories.rss ) as the XML source in the Omniportlet, I get the following error message:
Error
Failed to open specified URL. Check the following: is the URL is active; is there a valid proxy setting or, if HTTP authentication is required, check user name and password. [http://rss.cnn.com/rss/cnn_topstories.rss]
Here is how the proxy is defined in the Provider.xml file:
<proxyInfo class="oracle.portal.provider.v2.ProxyInformation">
<httpProxyHost>www-proxy.us.oracle.com</httpProxyHost>
<httpProxyPort>80</httpProxyPort>
<proxyUser>my Oracle Single-SignOn username</proxyUser>
<proxyPassword>my Oracle Single-signOn pwd</proxyPassword>
</proxyInfo>
I am on the Oracle Intranet. So, please let me know how I could reach you offline, if you think that will make things easier to resolve this problem.
I appreciate your help.
Thanks,

Htmltext, images and css' display property

Hi all,
I've got two questions; one about whether or not something is
natively
possible in Flash and another if there is a free or
commercial component
to fix the problem.
I know CSS/HTML in textfields is one of the weak points of
Flash, but I
still would like to clear something up (couldn' find a
definitive 'not
possible' through google).
I'm trying to display images from HTML/XML as block through
CSS in a
dynamic textField but can't seem to get it to work. I kinda
doubt
whether it is possible at all...
I've tried too many variations to display one piece of code
which fails,
but it boils down to:
* I load XML in which headings, paragraphs and images
(usually within a
paragraph) are set.
* I load CSS (or generate with AS for that matter) which
set's the
properties of the various tags.
* Images always display inline even if just one single char
fits beside
it in the field. If nothing really fits beside the image,
Flash still
places text there which is then hidden from the reader. All
attempts to
have the image's display set to block fail. Also if I try
through a
surrounding p-tag.
I tried all from XML.ignoreWiitespace,
TextField.condenseWhite, adding
p-, and br-tags. It just won't work.
If there really is no (why not?!) possibility to have it done
natively,
does anyone know of a solution (paid or free) done
previously? I can
think of some ways to make a start, but kind of don't have
the time to
make a really thorough effort...
Thanks in advance?
Manno Bult
http://www.aloft.nl

OK, kind of 'fixed' this one:
* parse HTML/XML for contained img-tags
* added id attribute if not present
* place HTML/XML in field
* get reference to loader object associated with the image(s)
through
TextField's getImageReference() method.
* aad eventListener to it
* on INIT or COMPLETE: retrieve height of image/loader object
* insert multiple paragraphs after image so that next actual
text
appears below image. Multiple paragraphs are inserted to
accomodate the
useage of scrollV for field, otherwise (one big paragraph)
image would
be considered as one line and scrolling would look strange...
Inserted
paragraphs have a set leading style so the number of
paragraphs to
insert can be calculated.
ugly but for me it works (at the moment). Anyone any better
solutions?
kind regards,
Manno

Strange characters displaying in FR pdf and excel export

We are using Financial Reporting on a Planning application. We have a dimension, projects, whose aliases display on the report. Now the strange part. On some projects, not all, during some report runs, but not all, some, but not all, of the spaces in the alias are translated into a question mark in the pdf, and then when the pdf is exported to excel, the question marks are translated into black diamonds with a question mark inside.
We’ve seen it happen on a handful of projects. These are from the same report, first one from report ran Monday, second one from report ran yesterday.
P.F0256REC - M88 STS Forecast
P.F0256REC�-�M88�STS Forecast
Ok, the diamonds won't paste into this message. But you can see the little squares in the second line - those are the diamonds with question marks inside.
Has anyone seen this behavior before? Or know what to do about it?
Sabrina

I've seen similar items with 2 causes:
1. When creating the alias names, the DBAs copied from emails and pasted the names in, which caused the formatting issues. Solution, get them to remove the existing alias and retype manually.
I think this is probably your problem too.
2. Font substitution: The other time was due to differing fonts installed on the developer, print server and BI server machines, causing some incorrect items to be displayed - check that the fonts are the same on all servers/instances.
Hope this helps.
Cheers, Iain

Why is a css 'display:inline;' command not working in one part of the page when it does in another?

I am trying to set my navigation links to be in a line rather than a column after setting them up as an Unordered List. I have already done it for the social network icons but the same css command just won't apply itself for the navigation. Any help would be appreciated.

CMYK images: strange monitor display & and printing

I tried the way Pages 2 handles CMYK images today and found out some strange things.
My problem: monitor display
CMYK .jpg files are displayed inverted on screen like a negative - black is white and white is black. Layouting basicly rendered useless. Is there a work arround ?
Solved: Printing
For printing there are at least two ways to get a decent result. Here my findings:
- Any color printers
"Print - ColorSync - Color Conversion" set to "Standard" => CMYK images get converted to RGB
"Print - ColorSync - Color Conversion" set to "Printer specific" => CMYK images stay in CMYK if printer is able to print CMYK
- use "Save to PDF" within printing dialog
Same as above, profiles tagged to images stay correct
- Adobe Acrobat Distiller
Same as above, but PDF looses recognizeable profile information. PDF workflow software does not recognize "SWOP" or "ISOcoated" by name but has "Embedded Adobe Postscript CRD Profile" instead which will create problems in workflow processing.
- Exporting "File - Export - PDF"
Profiles stay intact and are handled correctly.

Thanks Noel for the reply. Hopefully this will help.
This is how the file should look like.
This is how the file usually displays.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

CSS - Display issues in Explorer browser

I hate Internet Explorer. Just wanted to get that out front.
I did a website: www.siriusaboutdogs.org. Displays great in all
other browsers EXCEPT Explorer. I have played with the CSS over and
over and cannot get the right column where it belongs. Just used a
Dreamweaver CSS fixed two column layout. Didn't do a lot of
tweaking, just added a left margin on the main content to get that
over where i Needed it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The trick is to make sure your HTML and CSS are all valid. In
your case,
neither are.

Strange multiple display problem

I have two displays hooked up to my powermac G4 733 (still works great).
recently after I launched Avid Xpress Pro (I'm sure it's the cause), one of the display's stopped working. It's not getting signal from the computer.
The strange part is that in the displays section of my system prefs, the second display is showing up (it's also showing up on my system hardware list in "about this mac")
Even under arrangement the second display shows up.
I do know that the connection between comp.-monitor is good. When I hit "detect displays" the other screen does come on and flashes twice showing a mirroring of the left monitor (even though mirror displays isn't checked).
I reinstalled the OS, but didn't help. Any ideas?

Unplug the power. Open up the G4 and press the CUDA button. It is a small black button located on the Motherboard. Press and hold it for 3 seconds. Then plug back in and restart. That will reset the motherboard, not sure if this will do the trick but give it a try.

Strange characters displaying in place of file upload

Has this happened to anyone before?
I've built a form that includes a file upload option, but where the field box and button should be there are funny characters displaying (see screenshot) - Clicking on the characters behaves as it should and an upload dialog pops up. However, in the WYSIWYG editor in BC the box displays as it should.

Hi SteveDolanACE,
I suspect this could be related to your sites CSS. Could you please provide us with the URL where this is occurring? Or alternatively, submit a support ticket via your Admin Console > Help & Support and the support team will investigate further.

Strange screen display

Strange screen and system freezes overnight - new iMac 27" with Lion
Twice now have found the following on screen in morning. System also unresponsive when this happens and requires powering down and restarting. Otherwise system working fine.
These are two pics of same screen taken with a camera (first one showing room reflection)
Anyone have any idea of what this is?
Tks,

It looks like you have a faulty USB device, probably a hard drive, which might account for some of your issues, but it doesn't explain the display.
Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Third-party system modifications are a common cause of usability problems. By a “system modification,” I mean software that affects the operation of other software -- potentially for the worse. The following procedure will help identify which such modifications you've installed. Don’t be alarmed by the complexity of these instructions -- they’re easy to carry out and won’t change anything on your Mac.
These steps are to be taken while booted in “normal” mode, not in safe mode. If you’re now running in safe mode, reboot as usual before continuing.
Below are several lines of text in monospaced type, which are UNIX shell commands. They’re harmless, but they must be entered exactly as given in order to work. If you have doubts about the safety of running these commands, search this site for other discussions in which they’ve been used without any report of ill effects.
Some of the commands will line-wrap or scroll in your browser, but each one is really just a single line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, and you can then either copy or drag it. The headings “Step 1” and so on are not part of the commands.
Note: If you have more than one user account, Step 2 must be taken as an administrator. Ordinarily that would be the user created automatically when you booted the system for the first time. The other steps should be taken as the user who has the problem, if different. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
To begin, launch the Terminal application; e.g., by entering the first few letters of its name in a Spotlight search. A text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign (“$”) or a percent sign (“%”). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” (without the quotes) and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
Step 1
Copy or drag -- do not type -- the line below into the Terminal window, then press return:
kextstat -kl | awk '!/com\.apple/ {print $6 $7}'
Post the lines of output (if any) that appear below what you just entered (the text, please, not a screenshot.)
Step 2
Repeat with this line:
sudo launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple/ {print $3}'
This time, you'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. You don't need to post the warning.
Step 3
launchctl list | sed 1d | awk '!/0x|com\.apple/ {print $3}'
Step 4
ls -1A /e*/mach* {,/}L*/{Ad,Compon,Ex,Fram,In,Keyb,La,Mail/Bu,P*P,Priv,Qu,Scripti,Servi,Sta}* L*/Fonts 2> /dev/null
Important: If you synchronize with a MobileMe account, your me.com email address may appear in the output of the above command. If so, change it to something like “[email protected]” before posting.
Step 5
osascript -e 'tell application "System Events" to get the name of every login item'
Remember, steps 1-5 are all drag-and-drop or copy-and-paste, whichever you prefer -- no typing, except your password.
You can then quit Terminal.

Help! Prob with CSS display

I created 3 different local sites for possible web pages
using CSS. I can still view the sites in browsers - have headings
with logos, horizontal naviation bars etc - but in display view
they revert to writing( eg the original unordered list). I cannot
even remake them. What did I do? How can I correct?

CSS display problem

I have an unusual problem that must be something to do with
my Dreamweaver set-up.
All of a sudden all of my sites do not display the CSS in the
dreamweaver application. The CSS details all appear and I can
select them in the usual way but nothing appears on screen.
When I preview any page from any site in a browser it is
fine.
Does anyone have any idea what the problem might be?
Thanks
Dave

Strange LG Display issue

One of my LG W2361V monitors started dying recently, and LG was wonderful in replacing it with a W2353VP. When I hooked up the new monitor a strange thing happened. When my I wake my Mac Pro from sleep, every window of every program has been moved to the new, main monitor. I usually have iTunes on the right monitor ... after I wake it up, it's on the left. If I'm working in After Effects, after I wake it up, all of the windows that I have defaulted to the right screen are on the left (new) screen.
Does anyone have any suggestions how I can solve this riddle? I would really like my screens to wake up looking like they did when they fell asleep.
Thanks!

When I wake up the machine, there is no lag time between monitors. They wake up at the same time. So I'm not sure if that's the answer.
From the point of view of the display card, a full-screen refresh takes about 16.7 milliseconds.
The human eye needs about 1/6 second (166.7 milliseconds) or ten times longer, to recognize that a scene has changed. So the computer could recognize an electrical change (display gone missing) LONG before your eye could.
An interesting experiment would be to swap the HDMI connectors at the displays, and see if the results remain the same. If this seems to "cure" the problem, you can use Displays Preferences to re-assign which display has the Menubar and fix their relative positions in your workspace.
