Using Divs/Layers - am I going in the right direction?
Decided to give divs a try and get away from tables cause
everyone says I
should :-)
Teaching myself from scratch about them and just wanted
guidance on how it
is going so far.
I am trying to construct my template and have created one
test page.
http://www.mmmcommentaries.com/test/index.htm
I am creating the site by just setting up a div for each area
- main body,
menu, banner.
Is this the right way to do it or is there a better way? I
suppose I am
still thinking like a tables user in that I am setting up a
cell (div) for
each item.
If you remove this line -
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
your page will render in Standards mode in IE, rather than
quirks mode. You
don't need that line currently, so it's safe to delete.
Your concern about the menu is well placed. Horizontal menus
always run the
risk of breaking when the text is resized in the browser.
Yours will too.
But, to spread things out a bit, you need to manage the
padding and the
width of the div#nav ul li a rule.

Site not going in the right direction?
Good day all!
Got a little problem! Hear's one of my sites>
http://www.winterslippers.com
go hear all looks to be ok right? NO! There is spoused to be some
flash elements on the home page! So this is what is spoused to
happen! You type in the addie and you get taken right hear!>
http://www.winterslippers.com/Library
and if you go hear you'll see the flash elements working just fine!
Now I know this is the issue because there is another 15 sites
related to us and our server went through a bit of an update and
after this happened whenever we type in another of our url's we get
taken to "www.blablabla.com/
Library" and all the flash works fine for the them apart
from two sites the one I've talked about here and another.
Why not just ask our server for help I hear you all screem at
your moitors??
Well they are very good at fixing the problems I throw at
them... but they can take a very long time to get back to me. So
far I've been waiting two weeks for a replay.
So if anyone could point me in the right direction that would
be just super douper great (bit weird!)
Thanks all!!>>>spoused

Divs? Please point me in the right direction
OK, I really need for someone to point me to either a good tutorial, website, or book that will help me learn how to work with divs. I just need a good guide, so I can build in a more current way.
And I could also use a good place to learn to use CSS correctly. Seems no matter how I try, I can't seem to keep my CSS from becoming a mess.
Thank you in advance
NinaI learned from these two tutorials (links below). They are a few years old but I think still relevant:
http://css.maxdesign.com.au/floatutorial/tutorial0801.htm
http://css.maxdesign.com.au/floatutorial/tutorial0901.htm
You'll need to take a bit of time to read through the step by step instructions BUT it will be time well spent. What you learn you can then begin to apply and modify to suit your own requirements
Once you become accustomed to using <divs> and css you'll wonder why you found it so difficult to grasp in the first instance. It takes time and patience but the effort is worth while if youre serious about web developement. -

Application: FileNet content SG (Panagon) and MGETDOC(Web application)
Issue: when open a doc, the doc goes to .zip file instead of going to the doc directly. Only this issue happens for .xlsx,docs and pptx document.
Note: On all client machine, we are using office 2007 and IE8 browser
Cause: On 16<sup>th</sup> July 2013, . Net framework 4.5 is install on all our GI-D desktop machines. There after the issue is started .
Application Background: Applications built on .net framework 1.1 and it can support up to 4.0 version on client machine to view the documents through panagon and MGETDOC application. Panagon (Filenet content services) is
not supported in .net framework 4.5 and above.
Work around: After I had troubleshooting and tested with one of our system which has .net framework 4.5, IE8 does not support with HTML5 and tested with IE9 and Chrome, documents were able to open successfully.
I had removed .Net framework 4.5 uninstalled and able to open the documents w/o any issue. And also we had give the work around as if the doc goes to zip file, they open the doc by removing the . zip extension and they can save it as .xlsx or docx file and
they can able to open file.
Please let us know if you there is a fix to export the files through framework 4.5 and do contact us if you need further details, we shall discuss on the same. Thank you for your support. Request you to email @
[email protected]/[email protected]
CandidaPresumably you're using Safari?
You can change that in Safari Preferences (at least in 5.0.3, might be different in 5.1.x)
The checkbox at the bottom will do that for you. However! I strongly advise against permitting that; there have been, and no doubt will be again, malware that uses that to bypass authentication.
Just select Desktop as the default download location so you don't have to dig for the files. -
When playing a home video DVD (created on my Panasonic DVD/Hard Disc recorder) using the Mac DVD Player, I tried to use the "Controls, Use current frame as jacket picture" facility to create a printable image but with no success. I assume that any file created by this action would be stored somewhere in a common format but cannot find any such file. Can anybody point me in the right direction?
Hi Sinious,
Interesting to know about 10.8 and Flash. I'll hold off upgrading until they work together. Currently using 10.6.8 at home and same on the Universtity's computers.
Haven't verified on Windows but shall do later in the week if I can get access to a Windows machine.
Both the Flash player and the Projector come up not full screen, and if I leave it that way then things work OK as long as I don't make the video full screen (using the full screen button on the skin).
However if I make the swf or projector full-screen (by using CMD-F or the menu option) then when I click on the menu item to take me to the page with the video on it, instead of a page with a smallish video and back button I get a black screen with no obvious controls. If I then press Escape I get my normal screen back and I am in the page that should have the video but there is not video and the back button does not work. So something wierd is going on here.
If I make a file without any videos with a similar navigation structure everyting works ok except that when I go full screen I lose the finger cursor when I roll over my buttons (which is also wierd). -
Has photoshop started using EXIF orientation to display photos with the right rotation?
Has photoshop updated recently and started using EXIF orientation to display photographs with the right rotation?
I thought in the past it ignored the EXIF orientation, but it seems like it is now using it. Does anyone know if you can tell it not to use this information when displaying the image on the screen?
Please help!!Duh! My apologize for not providing the important details.
The system model I have tested on:
Mac Pro Early 2009
2.66Ghz 10GB Memory
Dual NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 512MB Cards (original cards)
Tested on 10.7.4-10.7.5, 10.8.2
Crash Report can be located here:
http://pastebin.com/aeZ2kYvw (this was using version 10.7.4)
It's just odd since last year we've been using this setup fine with v13.0 and now with v.13.0.3 it doesn't work. The reason for our two independent video cards is so that one card sends video to the monitor screen of the teacher, the second card sends a video signal that can be switched to either a projector or 8 lcd monitors in the lab (we've invested a lot of video infrastructure for this lab). When we tested using a single card for both outputs we would get an odd interlace horizontal thin bar that would go top to bottom ever so slowly. This would appear either when looking at video or when moving windows around. Doing the dual video cards solved that issue for us and have been using the setup since 2009. -
Troubleshooting: Scroll bar goes to the right in LR2.3
Not sure why this happens, but every so often - maybe once every couple days, I will be working in either the Library or Develop module and for no apparent reason, the scrollbar for the bottom filmstrip just starts moving on its own accord to the right until it gets to the end of the filmstrip. It keeps going to the right unless I close the program and start it back up again and then everything is fine again.
Wondering why this occurs.
Thankskglad - that works perfectly.
I was looking at the UIScroll component's properties, It
never occurred to me to look at the TextField properties.
Thanks.

I need better performance from my computer. Could someone point me in the right direction?
I do a lot of video editing for work. I am currently using the Creative Cloud, and the programs I use most frequently are Premiere Pro CS6, Photoshop CS6, and Encore. My issue is that when I am rendering video in Premiere Pro, and most importantly, transcoding in Encore for BluRay discs, I am getting severe lag from my computer. It basically uses the majority of my computer's resources and doesn't allow me to do much else. This means, that I can't do other work while stuff is rendering or transcoding. I had this computer built specifically for video editing and need to know which direction to go in for an upgrade to get some better performance, and allow me to do other work.
For the record, I do have MPE: GPU Acceleration turned ON, and I have 12GBs of RAM alloted for Adobe in Premiere Pro's settings, and 4GBs left for "other".
Here is my computer:
- Dell Precision T7600
- Windows 7 Professional, 64-bit
- DUAL Intel Xeon CPU E-2620 - 2.0GHz 6-core Processors
- 16GBs of RAM
- 256GB SSD as my primary drive. This is where the majority of my work is performed.
- Three 2TB secondary drives in a RAID5 configuration. This is solely for backing up data after I have worked on it. I don't really use this to work off of.
- nVidia Quadro 4000 2GB video card
When I am rendering or transcoding, my processor(s) performance fluctuates between 50%-70%, with all 12 cores active and being used. My physical memory is basically ALL used up while this is happening.
Here is where I am at on the issue. I put in a request for more RAM (32GBs), this way I can allot around 25GBs of RAM to the Adobe suite, leaving more than enough to do other things. I was told that this was not the right direction to go in. I was told that since my CPUs are working around 50-70%, it means that my video card isn't pulling enough weight. I was told that the first step in upgrading this machine that we should take, is to replace my 2GB video card with a 4GB video card, and that will fix these performance issues that I am having, not RAM.
This is the first machine that has been built over here for this purpose, so it is a learning process for us. I was hoping someone here could give a little insight to my situation.
Thanks for any help.You have a couple of issues with this system:
Slow E5-2620's. You would be much better off with E5-2687W's
Limited memory. 32 GB is around bare minimum for a dual processor system.
Outdated Quadro 4000 card, which is very slow in comparison to newer cards and is generally not used when transcoding.
Far insufficient disk setup. You need way more disks.
A software raid5 carries a lot of overhead.
The crippled BIOS of Dell does not allow overclocking.
The SSD may suffer from severe 'stable state' performance degradation, reducing performance even more.
You would not be the first to leave a Dell in the configuration it came in. If that is the case, you need a lot of tuning to get it to run decently.
Second thing to consider is what source material are you transcoding to what destination format? If you start with AVCHD material and your destination is MPEG2-DVD, the internal workings of PR may look like this:
Convert AVCHD material to an internal intermediate, which is solely CPU bound. No GPU involvement.
Rescale the internal intermediate to DVD dimensions, which is MPE accelerated, so heavy GPU involvement.
Adjust the frame rate from 29.97 to 23.976, which again is MPE accelerated, so GPU bound.
Recode the rescaled and frame-blended internal intermediate to MPEG2-DVD codec, which is again solely CPU bound.
Apply effects to the MPEG2-DVD encoded material, which can be CPU bound for non-accelerated effects and GPU bound for accelerated effects.
Write the end result to disk, which is disk performance related.
If you export AVCHD to H.264-BR the GPU is out of the game altogether, since all transcoding is purely CPU based, assuming there is no frame blending going on. Then all the limitations of the Dell show up, as you noticed. -
Need to be pointed in the right direction for buttons
Hello,
I'm trying to figure out if this can be done. Lets say you have 3 buttons on a web page. When you hit one of the 3 buttons, text appears and locks on the page. Each button has different texts that appears and locks. No matter what order a person hits a button. The texts for that button appears.
I'm not sure how to do this. I know how to link buttons and send it to different parts of the timeline, just don't know how this would work.
any help to be pointed in the right direction would be great.
Thanks in advance,
PeterHi Ned,
If I make a movie clip for each button (3 total) and each button has its own text. If I have all three layers on top of each other it will play all the text at once. That something I don't want. If I spread the layers so there not on top of each other. I can code it to have the text appear when the button is press but, only one set of text will appear at a time. What I would like is once the button is pressed and the text fades in it locks in place. If you press another button, that button texts fades in and locks. The text from the other button stays locked
Other Idea I had was when your working with buttons, and double click on it to get the "up-over-down-hit" on the timeline. on the over part, I know how to put text in that way. is there a way to lock it once the mouse goes on the "over" part of the button ????
Thanks,
Peter -
Remove method: push in the right direction
Hello everybody. I am new to java and programming all together ( i have been programming for about 3 weeks or so). I am sorry if the question is simple. I seem to be having a problem with remove function.
Basically I have class Task(which has an ID, brief description, dueDate etc...). I also have a task TaskList as well as a class Date . The taskList has attributes an array of type Task with a length of 10. It also has methods to add, remove tasks as well as display the arrays contents. The remove method is what is causing me problems.
My general thinking was to find the arraycell containing the reference that points to the taskId that is to be removed. Afterwards I wanted to assign a null value to the cell containing the task to be removed. Then i would begin by swapping references until the null value is in a way where the array has no wholes in it.
I have tried different variations of the same logic but either it does absolutely nothing, either I get a nullpointer exception. I am not looking for an explicit answer, just a nudge in the right direction. Is the general idea I proposed earlier worth anything. Can I affect a null value to an arraycell containing a reference to an object.
Thank you in advance for any help.
P.S: Again I apologize, for I know this must be a question that keeps coming up over and over...
Oh, before I forget, are there any good textbooks that explain ina detailed manner class relationships, particularly dependancy, aggregation and inheritance.Why not use a List instead? Lists are dynamic, i.e. they can add or remove
elements anywhere, closing the gap (i.e. there's no need to stuff nulls in there).
Something like this:public class TaskList {
private List l= new ArrayList();
public void add(Task t) { l.add(t); }
public boolean remove(Task t) { return l.remove(t); }
// all the other functionality you want goes here ...
}kind regards,

Can someone point in the right direction for how to make a multiplayer game over the internet
Hello,
I am looking into making a game where two people who can be in different places would log on to the app, log in and can play - i.e. they would be connected over the internet. I'm looking for a hint on what is the direction to take and which technologies.
For example is there a best practice for example if you make an app with DirectX and C++, and you use some kind of web service or something? or is it easier using C# and XNA? just looking for some pointers in the right direction. I have played around
with DirectX, far from proficient but have familiarity, I have no experience with XNA but hear it's less hardcore and easier going. I'm particularly interested in what the best way to connect over the internet.
ThanksWhat you are asking is very complicated and one of the more difficult things you can do in gaming. I'd strongly recommend you start smaller to learn and then move up to multi-player games as your skills grow.
From the multiplayer client perspective it doesn't really matter which technology you use. You can write a multiplayer game in any engine or technology that can talk to the network. Choose the client technology that you are most adept at and interested in
and learn it. You can go straight to DX, use a third party library such as Monogame (XNA isn't supported for Windows Store apps), or a complete game engine such as Unity. Once you can write a decent one-player game you'll have the foundation to start on to
build a two-player game.
At that point you'll need to define the problem much more specifically. As you state it, it is really wide open. How do you want the users to connect? Directly machine to machine? Matched through a web server but running client side? Connecting to a game
running on a remote server? Something else?
The network connection itself is probably fairly straightforward, but where to connect and how to manage that can be difficult. You'll have to decide what properties you want. Is this an action game where responsiveness is important or
a turn based game where timing is less relevant?
Are the players connecting locally or completely remotely? If the former then they can probably connect directly over the local network (NFC is great here). If the latter then they probably will need to connect to a matchmaker service to avoid firewalls.
This can get very complex, but there are existing solutions you can use rather than writing your own.

Hi guys i had been an iPhone 5 user for about 3 years and i have recently swapped over to a samsung s4 i dont know if this was a good idea any assistance or light in the right direction would be appreciated?
Sorry i correct myself i had been an iPhone user for about 3 years. My last Apple iPhone was an iPhone 5. I am getting used to things with the Samsung but really think the extra features such as smart stay and scroll are coverting humans into robots. The configuration of the features is also difficult as it detects your eye movement so if the movement is out of place even the slightest the feature will not function. I think the ios user interface is simple in comparison to the android user interface. Any views are appreciated? I have many friends also using HTC and prefer it in comparison to the iPhone and Galaxy but as raymond73 mentioned choice is a wonderful thing.
