Trying to place one item over the top of another
I am using DW CS3 and I am trying to create a banner (of pictures) and over the top of that I want text-only logo to appear above and drop down to overlap the top of the pictures. I'm sure there is some easy way to do this, but everything I try doesn't work. I can get the text behind the pictures but not in front of them. Any help is greatly appreciated.
I have attached a .gif image so you can see what I want it to look like.
Gary,
I do understand that it is easier if I send a link to what I'm trying to do; however, I am just beginning the designing so it is pretty much a blank slate. Here is what I have in mind:
I have The Nook Cafe as a logo image .gif that I want to place over a banner of pictures I have that are individual pictures placed within a container, this is what I am thinking:
#header
this would contain text for the upper right corner
#headerlogo
this would contain The Nook Text image
#photos
this div would contain the photos
#photo1
#photo2
etc...
So this is what i have tried:
<div id="header">
<div id="headerlogo">
<div id="photos"> <div id="photo1"></div><div id="photo2"></div><div id="photo3"></div>
</div></div></div>
then I played with the z value and the margin settings.....all to no avail.
Does this make more sense? As you can see I am lost as to how to accomplish the overall look I am going after.

How do I put the audio from one clip over the video of another clip?
So I have two videos, and I want to replace the audio of the first with the audio of the second. Sorry, I'm new to 08 and have been trying to suss this out for ages so I'd really appreciate any advice you guys can give.
This thread seems to be on the same subject and is very helpful.

The Working with Audio clip also included the solution for extracting the audio from a clip at the very end of the video. Having to know the secret handshake of shift-command and dragging is really not intuitive, but such is progress.... -

I'm trying to multi-track using an m-audio device, I can record my guitar fine. However, I want to create a new track so I can record an acoustic tambourine over the top. Instead it records the original guitar as well as the tambourine coming out with a really distorted sound. I've managed to record over the top of a guitar before and add diferent riffs and sounds but I've tried all of the settings but its still not working. Basically I want to record different tracks without it recording my previous guitar riffs as well. Help would really be appreciated.
Ah that was it, thanks a lot common sense really but thanks for the help

I had an iPhone 4 and recently upgraded to iphone5 now iCloud will not back up new phone. Under iCloud it shows 2 iPhones and my iPad. Is it trying to write new phone over the old one? What should I do? I am afraid I might lose everything messing with
I see. If you go to Settings>General>About>Name, that is the current name of your phone. The backup bearing that name should be the more recent one, and therefore the one you want to keep. I would delete the other one (presumably the one set up by Best Buy under your real name, assuming you changed it later), then see if that gives you enough space to back up again.
If it still reporting insufficient storage, use this guide: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4847 to try to determine what's taking up all your room. In them meantime, you can perform a manual backup on your computer so your have a current one while you're troubleshooting this. To do so, connect your phone to iTunes, then right-click on the name of your phone on the left side and select Back Up. -

}Yes. Make sure that you move it behide the control. To do so click on just
the label then go to the reorder control on the toolbar and select move it
backward or move it to back.

Is it possible to use the drawing dynamic content to erase an image rather than draw over the top?
I'm trying to create a cover for my magazine that has a chalk board with writing on. I want the user to be able to erase the writing with their finger but can't figure out how to do it. All i can do is draw a solid colour over the top. What i want is for the finger swipe to erase the .png image instead. wondered if it can be done using a mask but I can only get a mask to reveal solid colour not an image.
If the images are exactly the same size then make sure the layer with the mask
is the active layer and in the other documents go to Select>Load Selection and choose
your document with the layer mask under Source document and under channel choose the layer mask.
After the selection loads press the layer mask icon at the bottom of the layers panel.

IPhoto 6.0.5 Thumbnails pics over the top of other photos
I have just returned to my Macbook Pro after a break and in viewing recent photos noticed some were distorted, squashed in shape , and even superimposed over the top of other pics. In other words when viewing in the Library source you see a thumbnail size pic which is not the photo that has been recently imported -
dbl click on it and you get the grey square with an ! mark in the centre.
2/. when selecting an album I get photos mixed with other photos that have no connection with the album. Some of those photos are equally squashed in shape. In fact I have just gone thru all my albums and see they have all been intermingled with photos from other albums.
3/. The roll numbers have also jumped numerically from say 289, 290, 291, to numbers starting 816,817, etc.!!!
Are my problems major in that I should move to trash and start again hopefully importing from my iPod or is there a simple!!! explanation and cure.
All help will be appreciated.
AlanTo TD,
Thanks for your helpful reply. I have now rebuilt my iPhoto library as you suggested.
However, I have not found out why my film rolls are being numbered so inconsistently. As I mentioned they were going along fine in a numerical sequence when they started jumping from 3xxs to 8xxs for no apparent reason. In fact having removed some dud pics in the 8xxs range and re-importing from my digital camera (fortunately I hadn't removed them from the flash card) I see my film roll Nos. are going from the 3xxs and jumping to 12xxs & 13xxs !!
Are there any answers to this problem? and can I re-number the rolls or is there some underlying danger in trying to do that?
All help will be appreciated

Is it possible to create a 'layer' over the top of a PDF in Captivate?
I am trying to integrate a 3dpdf within captivate 8 for a software training program, for this it is important to retain functionality to the pdf menu, Captivate handles this well : ) HOWEVER on importing the pdf it becomes clear that the pdf 'trumps' other objects such as clickable areas or text, which therefore don't seem to appear when published. I also wish to provide 'blocked' areas by putting transparent objects over the top of the pdf so as to control the learning process, which also doesn't seem possible on initial inspection.
Does the PDF exist outside the timeline?
Does anyone know how to layer objects over a pdf object that will remain there when published?
Many thanks!
Sam the GiraffeHow/where do you want to accomplish it?
Within the document? Using Acrobat? Using another application?
Using Acrobat within the document would be possible using Acrobat JavaScript. You can access the annotation objects of your document, and you then can evaluate the properties of each of these objects. Have a closer look at the Annotation Object section in the Acrobat JavaScript documentation.
You will look for the contents property, and evaluate its content. When you have found something looking like a URL, you can create a link (using the rect property of the annotation), and you have what you want; you might then think to destroy the annotation, as it may overlay the link.
Hope this can help.

I need some help taking my site over the top.
Ok, i built the site for a small business and i believe it looks better than most sites in the industry. How do i get it noticed in searches and take it over the top and make it look like it was done by a professional. How do i increase the search hits. Has a cottage industry spawned with people who do this in IWEB. i want to maintain control of the site.

“Do only what is necessary to convey what is essential. Carefully eliminate elements that distract from the essential whole, elements that obstruct and obscure....Clutter, bulk, and erudition confuse perception and stifle comprehension, whereas simplicity allows clear and direct attention." — Richard Powell, in his book +Wabi Sabi Simple+.
"One of the biggest mistakes typical business people make with documents is going out of their way to seemingly use every centimeter of space on a page, filling it up with text, boxes, clip art, charts, footers, etc. Space, often called "white space," is good. Embrace it. Use it. Often, the more space you don't use on a page, the clearer your message becomes.
Empty space is beautiful, yes. But empty space also implies importance, elegance, professionalism. This is true with graphic design, but you can see the importance of space (both visual and physical) in the context of interior design. Think of the retail space, for example. Target is dedicated to design although they are a discounter. They know about space. Target stores are well designed. They have more empty space than other discounters, Walmart, for example."

Non-optimal separation of items in the top iCal bar
Hi,
the separation of items in the top iCal bar (e.g. Today, Day/Week/Month etc) is not optimal for me. Is there any way I can move these closer together, i.e. customize the interface, which is something many programs now support?
Thanks.I am running 10.6.8. See pix below
What I am referring to is the bar on the bottom with the items to the right of the "Search" button. Another thing is that I only want to delete certain items, not all of them. When I do Safari>Preferences>Extensions it comes up showing only one of the items on the bar on the left of the screen - one that I do not want to uninstall. I have gone to the sites of the other ones and do not see how to uninstall from there. Hope this helps to clarify my question. -
i backed up my broken ipad to my computer yesterday, returned it to Apple & got it replaced today and have now accidently backup'd on my computer over the top of my original Ipad Back up from yesterday. Can anyone advise how do I get previous copy of my back up??
Look at this knowledge base article on iOS backups to iTunes, note where the backups are kept for your type of computer, Windows or Mac, go to that Library location and see if there are any other files with the same name as the current backup but with a different extension and date/time stamp. If so you can edit the extension of the current backup and then change the extension of the previous backup so it looks like what was on the current and the do a restore. iTunes will think the older backup is now new and use it to restore.
If there are no such files then you over-wrote the backup and it is gone. -
