Using thickbox-gallery extension in DWCS6 for webpages sliced in fireworks CS5
After designing my webpages in Fireworks CS5, I have exported them into Dream weaver CS6 but I can't seem to place the "thickbox" extension for my gallery in an aligned manner. in order words it has refused to position itself horizontally from left to right of my page.
Please can anyone help me in this regards.
Thank you so much in anticipation.
Thank you @Ken for your info, Thank you Nancy for your info too, please how do I install the fancybox add on which you suggested into Dreamweaver?
Meanwhile I'm happy to inform you that I figured out a way to solve the problem I reported here. The process is as follows:-
When you add the "thickbox" gallery and you want to make it align horizontally from the left to the right. First off, select the "gallery" (usually the 2 default thumb nails/galleries) you added, simply go to your "CSS Styles" panel and under "Current" tab. Add the "Display" property and then on the right, change its attribute from anything it is to "inline". At the instance, the "thickbox" gallery changes alignment in a landscape manner and positions itself from left to right. You could also try out other possible "attributes" of "Display" to see the one that could also give you what you want or same result. Once you're happy, you could go ahead to swap your thumbnail images and populating your galleries.
It took quite some time to discover this.
Thank you once again everyone for the effort.

Problem in Quick Gallery Extension
I use Quick Gallery extension to make a photo gallery on my
site with Horizontal scroller.I insert pictures in the horizontal

Waiting for ur urgent reply.
Thankx

I installed V8.0.1 several weeks ago (or what I thought was V8.0.1) and got Awesome Screenshot (A.S.). Although it was stated that AS was not compatible with V8.0.1 I installed it any way and it worked. I have been using it every day until this morning. Another Firefox update came down this morning. Although I clicked the “Update Later” box, it updated at that time anyway. (This has happened every time I received an update in the past and clicked “Update Later” box, but that another problem; not the issue today.) After today’s update completed and I restarted Firefox. I check the version and it still was V8.0.1. All of my extensions were gone. I followed the instruction for re-enabling. All of the extensions were marked “disabled”. Only two of them had “enable” buttons (Garmin Communicator and InvisibleHand), both of which I didn’t load nor use. All extensions had “Remove” buttons. Is there any way for me to get A.S. working, I use it often. If not, how about “Screengrab”. That’s better than nothing.
I am using Windows XP Professional SP3.
Thanks for your help.

[email protected]There is a known issue where multiple instances of plugin container open if history or cookies are cleared. Are you, or some utility clearing firefox cookies or history, that could be the reason. This problem continues even if plugins are disabled in Firefox.
*Are you opening multiple instances of Flash Player ?
* Is the problem reproducible ? <br/> for instance does it always crash the plugin or cause it to hang if you use a particular site ?
If you get the FlashPlayer plugin crashing use the option to submit the crash reports, it is then possible to follow them up. It is possible to stop the plugincontainer opening, but that could result in a firefox crash. Of course the firefox crash can also send crash reports out, and that could be useful.
* see [[plugin crash reports]]
* [[what is plugin-container]]
* [[firefox crashes]]
There are some problems with FlashPlayer currently under investigation, and there may be other threads in the forum about problems. (e.g. Bug 561019 - Plugin waveOutOpen hangs )
Sometimes using Firefox 3.6 is a workaround that helps with FlashPlayer problems, if you wish to experiment with that consider installing firefox Portable and using Firefox 3.6.23 (or soon 3.6.24) for tests with flash player, whilst keeping firefox 7 for day to day browsing.

Using MobileMe Gallery instead of iWeb 06 for eBay Picture Hosting
img src="http://gallery.me.com/YOURUSERNAME/100016/DCP17093/web.jpg"
After a problem with iWeb '06 I discovered, with help from members here and on eBay, that I can use MM Gallery for eBay. You Control-Click your Gallery picture to get its URL and paste that into your item description.UPDATE!
There's a package of 3 html files, one that is called index.html. that can find the URL of a photo on the grid page of an iWeb photo page. When used it will look like this
Click to view full size
I'll put the zipped folder on my Cellar site in a bit and post back here with the URL to download it.

Workaround for using Oracle JDBC extension with WLS pooling
Reading the newsgroup I saw that many of us encountered the problems
with ClassCastException when tried to use Oracle JDBC extension
with WLS pooling. I also had.
In this case BEA recommends to use dangerous
method getVendorConnection() which exposes
the physical connection object to your code.
Yes it's really dangerous because of unsafe usage may breaks
WLS pooled connection(s).
Moreover, this practice will make your JDBC code
unportable (your JDBC code in addition to Oracle dependence
became Weblogic dependent):
void doSmth() {
Connection con = ...;
Connection vCon = ((WLConnection)con).getVendorConnection();
// + mess of usage con in one places and vCon in others
// (where Oracle extensions are needed)
// !Don't forget to don't close vCon!
Sux.
I found the workaround.
Introduction
============
Yes the real cause of ClassCastException is that
in depth of Oracle driver the casting
to class oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleConnection
(not to interface oracle.jdbc.OracleConnection)
is performed.
Someone can say that this is bug or pure desing.
Weblogic pooled connection provide dynamic
implementation for all public interfaces
which real physical (wrapped) connection object implements.
Great feature!
But I guess that all interface methods implemented
by simple call-delegation to physical (wrapped) connection object.
In case of oracle.jdbc.OracleConnection interface
this approach doesn't work for at least one its method:
public OracleConnection unwrap()
WLS pooled connection shoudn't implement this method by
delegation to physical connection object BUT should
return physical connection object itself!
// Wrong implementation of unwrap()
// delegation is used
public OracleConnection unwrap() {
return physicalConnection.unwrap();
// Right implementation of unwrap()
// physical connection returned
public OracleConnection unwrap() {
return physicalConnection;
Workaround
==========
1. Develop your own OracleConnection wrapper class:
import oracle.jdbc.OracleConnection;
import weblogic.jdbc.extensions.WLConnection;
public class MyOracleConnectionImpl implements OracleConnection {
private OracleConnection con;
public MyOracleConnectionImpl(OracleConnection connection)
throws SQLException
this.con = connection;
public OracleConnection unwrap() {
return (OracleConnection)
((WLConnection)con).getVendorConnection();
/* Implement all other methods by delegation to con object */
2. Don't get Connections directly from DataSource --
develop your own simple (may be static) utility
class which retrives Connections from dataSource
and returns them wrapped into your MyOracleConnectionImpl
to your code from some method:
puclic abstract class MyConnectionSource {
public static Connection getConnection() {
Connection con = // get it from DataSource
return new MyOracleConnectionImpl((OracleConnection)con);
3. Add attribute RemoveInfectedConnectionsEnabled="false"
to definition of your JDBCConnectionPool within config.xml
You may do it because of you `safely` use vendorConnection --
you don't expose it to application code.
4. Enjoy the Oracle JDBC extensions in your code!
Example:
Connection con = MyConnectionSource.getConnection;
ArrayDescriptor add =
ArrayDescriptor.createDescriptor("your_type", con);
Hope it helps to someone.
Best regards,
Eugene VoytitskyHello Eugene Voytitsky,
Thanks Eugene Voytitsky for your idea
I have tried the solution suggested by You, but it did not work.
It still throws ClassCastException.
I am sorry for posting the whole code of two classes below.
I did this to give you more clarity.

Using Sothink video downloader, normally by default my video files are save in FLV extension. Now for whatever reason suddenly my video files are save in .ebm extension & I can't open my video file. "Save file Type As" -to select file extension does not seem to work -
It's a WEBM video file. My solution was to rename the file to have .webm extension, and play it with the latest VLC Player (2.1, but I think any from 1.1 and upper will solve it too). Just associate .ebm with VLC didn't work. I had to rename the files so VLC knew exactly what that thing was.
By the way, it worked the same way with a .eam file (!), I just renamed the extension to .webm. -

I have developed an InDesign extension in CS extension builder 1.5. But now I need to use CS Extension builder 2 for using its new features. I have installed CS extension builder 2 but my project still does not include new libraries. I want to set PNGExportPreference which is available in Extension builder 2 only.
How can I make it include library for PNGExportPreference?
Can anybody help me out?

File size limit for using Filter Gallery
I created a large single layer file with dimensions of approximately 300cm x 200cm at 300dpi; the file size was about 2.5Gb. I wanted to use Filter Gallery but it was greyed out, even although it was only an 8-bit file. So, I reduced the file size to approximately 200cm x 135cm at 300dpi; the file size was about 1.5Gb. I could then use Filter Gallery.
My question is this: was the limit in the first place due to a maximum file size that Filter Gallery can handle (hope not) or, was the limit related to the avaialable memory on my computer (3gb RAM, NVidea card with 250Mb Graphics memory, 195Gb free on HD) ??
Couldn't find an answer to this in the wiki-faq-knowledge-base-forum and chat support didn't know ... will contact them again soon and update this discussion if I get a viable response.
Thank you, TrimmerFilter Gallery does not work at all over 30000 pixels in either dimension.
Many of the filters have size limits well below that, due to the math or algorithms involved.
I should also point out that the pixel size limits are completely unrelated to file size.
And you really need more RAM if you are going to edit images like that. -

It may interest you to know that ThickBox is not being supported anymore. This is from their web site.
While Thickbox had its day, it is not maintained any longer,

Missing extensions/plug-ins for Safari.
So, I recently had a virus/malware scare and to take care of it (which I did) I got rid of all extensions/plug ins for Safari.
I've currently only got Adobe Flash Player, and nothing else which is really hindering me. I've looked all over but I can't find out what the plug-ins or extensions I need are.
The most recent issue was something about Audio Midi when I couldn't play an audio thing online while looking for guitar chords stuff.
After that gave it a shot by asking Apple, but the closest Apple store is too far to be worth driving to and I can't afford $50 or however much it is to get the info/links/whatever I need.There's no need to install Safari extensions if you don't wan to, however, there might want to check out the extensions gallery. You may find something useful.
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Safari Extensions ...
To avoid malware, open System Preferences > Security & Privacy > General
Make sure: Mac App Store and identified developers is selected.
If that area is grayed out, click the padlock icon to proceed. -
Woes of the Z10, and now i want to use it as a backup phone for my contacts and data. Can I?
Ok, this has been a real nightmare. I am an extensive user of BB since OS4. Wanted to try the new Z10, so I got myself a spanking new one. With my prior experience in switching devices, it would be a cinch. Transfer device over via blackberry desktop software, change the emails via BIS, and I'm all sorted out.
OMG dear blackberry. You made me jump through so many hoops I felt like a circus dog.
Blacberry desktop doesn't work with the Z10. No one told me. I had to find out the hard way after not being able to detect the phone. wasted half an hour of my life. Downloaded Blackberry link. Transferred my contacts and everything over, couldn't be happier.
Hurrah, thought the nightmare was done. It was just starting.
Micro sim. Not everyone has a microsim cutter lying around. Great. Troop off to the shop. Figured after I get the sim cut, I could also transfer the emails via BIS server. So that's what I did. (oh by the way, having to buy a micro SD card was also a pain in the A but still acceptable). The BIS server detected the change in device so it disabled my emails. No problem. Until the technician told me at the store-sorry-BIS DOESNT WORK WITH Z10. Whaaaaat? Come on blackberry! Now its just normal emails, similar to that of iphone and samsung. Emails were your best feature. Ok, this I can stomach. What I cannot stomach is...blackberrry, you just killed your frequent traveller who needs international roaming. BIS emails and BBM was wonderful. I could get by travelling from country to country on 50mb a month unlimited. Apparently not anymore. I need a full fledged international roaming plan that will cost me an arm and a leg. This is insane.
Finally I had the Z10 working. I manually entered all my emails. ( i have 9 emails. Thank god they are all gmail based, especially for work, if not I would have ripped all my hair out). For the whole 2 hours, I looked at it and hated it. It was hard to use, I had to keep swiping up and to the right, sometimes it wouldn't swipe well, sometimes I couldn't tell if it was swiping or not. Neither did it help that Whatsapp hasn't even been sorted out on the Z10. Whatsapp is my life. My family's on it. My friends are on it. My suppliers and my customers are on it. Oh wait. Z10-well, you can download it from the appworld, but it doesn't install. Thinking it was a problem with the downloads, I kept at it..only to have the technician tell me, "sorry, Whatsapp not working on Z10, too bad"...anyway I made up my mind to go back to the Torch. So thinking it would be as simple as changing the hub ID on the Z10 and then reactivating the Torch. All will be well. Wrong.
I had to run to another tel shop to beg for a spare sim shell so I could stick the micro sim into it and have it back as a normal sim. Another 2 hours of my life later, I realise-changing the hub ID on the Z10 doesn't change anything. It doesn't mean you can just use the original hub Id and all systems are go on the first phone. Changing the hub ID means changing the original one. Argh. This was so frustrating especially when the BIS server refused to switch back to the old device. Ever clicked on detect device 200 times? Well that would be me. Eventually I figured it out. Change back to the old hub ID, security wipe the horrible thing, log in with the original hub ID and reset the device via BIS server. Finally, order is restored.
Which leads me to my question. I am thinking of porting over my contact list and data to the Z10, and using it as another phone in another country. However I want to use a different Id from my Torch since it is considered a different device but with the same data. Will blackberry link allow me to do this, or will it only switch the data provided the hub ID is the same?
Blackberry, hand over heart, I'll use the Torch till it dies ( I just changed out the nav pad cause it was completely worn out and would act wonky in sunlight- I call it the blackberry vampire version) and after that I'm off to another smart phone platform. You've made my life miserable. It was great while it lasted, but I'm going to be migrating to another platform eventually. Thanks for the memories.Hello,
BlackBerry 10 has always been advertised as a revolutionary change from prior...not an evolution. And you have both now learned the hard way just how detailed that change is. As with so many things, the assumptions made from past experience with BB are not useful for this very significant change. Rather, research done prior to purchase is the most useful activity one can undertake.
For BB10, BIS is not required. Indeed, on some carriers, having BIS on the account actually impedes some services for BB10. BB10 uses a full on-device ActiveSync client for email now. BIS-handled email is gone...as are "hosted" email accounts (though you can get 1-year of forwarding).
Migrating of data from old to new involves many choices before beginning. For example, if you are not afraid of placing your Calendar and Contact data "into the cloud", the Z10 can excellently synchronize that against many different providers (many more than BIS ever could). Done correctly, one can attain full end-to-end OTA synchronization of Calendar/Contact data between Outlook desktop client (and perhaps others, though I've not tested), a Z10, a PlayBook, and more (for me, I've got 2 Outlook client instances, one Z10, one PB, and one Droid...all working beautifully OTA).
Traveling is no more challenging than in the past...your specific device must be able to function on the networks upon which you wish to roam...this is no different from before (e.g., a GSM-only device simply cannot roam on a CDMA network). To compare specifics, I've found this useful:

There are many other differences...but please try to let go of what was before, for pretty much none of it applies anymore. BB10 is revolutionarily different from before.
Good luck!

How do I remove an obsolete e-mail address of a friend (not a whole account)
People change their provider and get a new e-mail address. From some people I have 3 addresses but 2 are obsolete. I can't remember which ones. So I want to remove the old addresses, not a whole e-mail account. If I send a new e-mail to a friend and

Wants password even though it's got it
I noticed since I loaded Entourage that Mail's been acting a little goofy. It'll prompt me for the server to use when sending a message and sometimes ask me for the password even though it's stored in the Account settings and on the keychain. I've si

Hi, I have a problem that I put on the back-burner a few months ago, but it has become more important again. I have a daemon which maintains a multiplexing stream stack. Every once in a while when the daemon exits and tears down the stack (flushing t
