Where is the yellow text box?

In Safari 2 (in Tiger) I had the ability to draw a solid yellow box onto a pdf document and type information into the box. It appears that feature has been replaced in Safari 3 by the Notes tool. The problem is with the notes, it appears you would only see the note text on the screen and not when you print out the page (like in Safari 2). Is there any way to get the old style note function back?
Thanks.
David

This question really applies to Preview, not Safari. I will close this question and post in the correct forum.

How to edit text in the yellow text box of a URL-link?

Hey guys!
I´m currently working on a website in Iweb.
My current challenge is the following:
- I´ve made a marked text a hyperlink. But when I rollover it, a yellow text box appears and shows the entire URL.
Now, I want it to show a custom edit text.
example:
the link is: www.domainpage.com/home/subfolder/page1234/sweet.html.
the yellow text box SHOULD SAY (example):
"Sweet" tattoo
How do I rename the text in the yellow box?

This is a screenshot of what text boxes affect the page title.
If you can't change the necessary text box to reflect the title you want you can add the title via an HTML snippet and the following code:
<script type='text/javascript'>
parent.document.title = "PAGE NAME TO SHOW IN BROWSER TAB/BAR";
</script>
Apply the code via snippet to each page you want to change the name to.

How do I turn off the yellow text boxes that pop up around the cursor?

What looks like a hyperlink box keeps showing up when I move the cursor. I am not a pro at the notebook deal but do need some assistance. Google isn't helping much and it is getting annoying.

Please post a screenshot that shows what you mean. Be careful not to include any private information.

Shutting off the annoying yellow text box thing.

Does anyone know how I can shut off the yellow text box that pops up when I stop the curser on a hyperlink?
I rarely use it and it's just too annoying to me.

Actually, that's incorrect. Tooltips are enabled by default in Safari 3.
I was referring to showing *the full URL of a link* in a tooltip when you hover over the link. Is that enabled by default in Safari 3? My impression is that is not. (It was enabled by default in a previous version of Safari, which annoyed many people and caused quite the uproar here. )
As mentioned above and in my edit, showing URLs in tooltips can be enabled/disabled. Showing title text in tooltips doesn't seem to be something you can disable, or at least not as easily.
You can check whether URL tooltips are turned on for Safari by checking its .plist file for the lines:
<key>WebKitShowsURLsInToolTips</key>
<string>N</string>
Where N=0 means URL tooltips are turned off, and N=1 means they're turned on.

Someone said to add the title on each web page on the main text box. Which is that?

I read in the discussion items that you should not bother with meta tags but just wirte the title in your main text box on each page with the word image in the beginning. Where in the main text box? The first one on the page? That has my web page title. Help. Judy

iWeb uses the textbox in the Header layer of an iWeb page as the title in the browserwindow.
Do not remove the original textbox, as you cannot replace it other than by selecting another theme and then change it back to the original theme again. Ruining the layout in the process.
If the textbox in the Header is missing, iWeb uses a textbox down the page in the Content layer. If that textbox is also missing, it uses another textbox. If that fails it uses the pagename in the Sidebar.
Sometimes you may want a different text in the titlebar and not display it on the page itself. Or not display it at all.
So use that textbox in the Header layer. Type your text. Then select the textbox. In the Inspector choose T, click a color to open the color palette and drag the opacity slider to 0 (zero).
Do Command-T to open the font palette and make the font smaller. (Or do Command--(minus)) Also use a font that doesn't change to an image. Arial is a good font. Perhaps do it first before making the text invisble.
Resize the textbox. You may want to change the height of the Header layer.
Do Command-Shift-B to move the textbox to the back, possibly behind other objects.
Next add a optional second textbox to the Header layer and use that one to display text on the page.
If you want to move the textbox to the front again to make changes, but can't remember the location on the page, drag the area with the mouse to select the objects.
Deselect objects you do not want to move forward by Command-dragging the mouse over these objects.
Next do Command-Shift-F to move the textbox to the front. Repeat the steps in reverse order to make the text visible.
Practice.

How to get rid of the main text box in the back of the page AND move things

I usually work in Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign, but am creating two newsletter templates in Pages for a colleague, since it will be easier for her. But, for the life of me, I can't figure out how to get rid of the main text box in the back of the page that is driving me crazy. I just want a nice blank page that I can do whatever I want with. AND, I can't figure out how to select things so that I can move them, like shapes and text boxes. Some things seem to move fine, then other things just sit there. I am at the end of my rope!!!

Hi, Dylan. Welcome to Discussions.
If you're referring to the area where you just start typing when you open a new blank document, you can't get rid of it. But you also don't have to use it. You can insert text boxes and size and position them as you desire. Just be sure they're defined as Fixed on Page. When one is full and you want to continue it to another page (or to the side), click in the blank blue box on the lower right side of the text box. That will create another box and your overflow text will flow into it. Then position it where needed.
Also, you can create a text box the width of the page and then set it for 2 or more columns.
When you want to send something to the back and you may want to access it again later, just use the send backward command. If you send it all the way to the back, it will be behind the main text layer (where it will be safe from acvcidental movement) but you will have to click outside the work area and then drag the pointer to the object to select it.
Hope this helps to get you started.

How do I disconnect text in left margin from the main text box

I’ve used a template that has a graphic and text in a wide margin on the left side of the page. The margin is set at 2.75, where a a single column text box resides, containing much more descriptive text. It seems the material inside the left margin is not accessible. When I click on it text in the large text box highlights. What is connecting these two boxes and how can I disconnect them? I want to use the left side of the document to contain, among other things, hypertext links to other websites. At first I thought it might be a matter of layers, sending objects to the back or front, perhaps grouping or ungrouping but that hasn’t helped.
Anyone got any thoughts on what might be creating this connection?

Ah, that did it. Kind of strange place to hid that command don’t you think? I still don’t know what will happen when I convert it to a .doc. While I much prefer creating this stuff in Pages if the creation doesn’t survive the conversion and others can’t open the links it doesn’t do me much good. If it doesn’t survive the conversion to Word I’ll let you know.
thanks for your help.

How to add the value of the two text boxes in the 3rd text box in ssrs table?

Hi ,
in my ssrs table i encountered a situation where i need to computing for the two text box values and i have to show that value in page header.
for example i have to add the textbox9 value and textbox12 value then i have to show that value in the page header.
Please help me with this requirement.
Thanks in advance,
Naveen

Hi NaveenMSBI,
According to your description, you want to sum the value of two textboxes, then display it in a page header textbox.
Just PrajapatiNeta said, an expression in a page header or footer can refer to only one report item. So we can create a hidden textbox named textbox20 with the expression below in the report body:
=reportitems!textbox9.Value + reportitems!textbox12.Value
Then use the expression below in a page header textbox:
=reportitems!textbox20.Value
Besides, please note that in a page header or page footer section, only text boxes on the current page are available as a member of the ReportItems collection. For example, if ReportItems!textbox20.Value refers to a text box that only appears on the first
page for a multipage data region, you can see a value only for the first page.
Reference:
ReportItems Collection References (Report Builder and SSRS)
Thanks,

How to recognize the linked text boxes in In Design

How to recognize the linked text boxes in In Design? I mean is there any indication, where I will come to know so an so tex boxes are linked together?
Thanks in advance.

HI Peter,
well In Quark Express as as wrote earlier, that you can see other text frames highlighted immediately, after you select any of the text frame among the threaded text frames, say there are 5 text frames which are threaded together, even if I click on 2 nd or say 4th text frame, it shows me all the text frames highlighted which are threaded together, so If I am working in a catalog which has multiple pages, it's easy for me to see which text frames are threaded together, as if you make any text changes, say add or delete text in a text frame, the other text frames get affected by that. I mean text shifts accordingly, it's easy to track in Quark which text frames will get affected if I change something in a threaded frame.
Anyways, it seems this option is not available in In Design. That's fine. I am not in preview or Overprint previed mode.
Thanks for your help.

I have powerpoint for Mac on my imac. I can't seem to get the active text box function to work like it did on my PC. How can I insert an active textbox into a presentation that will allow me to type while presenting?

I've gotten a little further on this. The dynamic select is
working fine. It's the "a href" code that isn't. I'm wondering if
someone can look at this line and tell me if it's okay to build the
query string this way. The storeid comes through fine but I'm still
not getting the employeeid value to pass. Here's line that's not
working:
td><a href="registerStoreCust.php?storeid=<?php echo
$row_storeRS['storeid']; echo "&employeeid="; echo
$_GET['employeeLM']; ?>">Register
Customer</a></td>

In keynote - Leather Book theme - is there a way to remove the artwork in the middle of the cover page (between the two text boxes) (the squiggly thing)??

I am trying to create a poster - in Keynote - transferring it to PDF then to JPEG so I can print it - and while I like the background in this Keynote theme (leather book) I can't seem to remove the artwork that is positioned between the two text boxes. Does anyone know how??? Can it even be done?

I somehow ended up on creating a new master slide. I can FINALLY access the artwork - it has a box around it of x's - but I can't seem to do anything. Delete doesn't work. Trying to shrink the box doesn't work. I'm not getting a dialog box when I click on it that is specific to the x'ed area. It pertains to the full background page. I'm obviously missing something - the fact that I have never been in Keynote before may have something to do with it! :-)

Trying to understand the default TEXT boxes in the templates?

Sometimes the default text boxes in a template cannot be deleted. It's as if they act as spacers ... for example a 'title' text box that if dragged down makes the page longer. A 'normal' text box doesn't do this, and it can be deleted.
I'm customizing a template. I customized a particular 'blog' main page. Then I wanted to make another similar 'blog' main page (this site will need three different blogs). I created another page using the exact same template ... and notice an extra text box (spacer?) that can't be deleted, and that seems to have disappeared from my original customized page - even though I CAN'T delete it from the new customized page. Very confusing.
What are those template text boxes that seem to be controlling space holders, and how should I use them properly?
All ears,
Ben

Is there a keyboard shortcut to go to the first text box on a page when the focus is on the Location Bar?

I can use Alt+D to get to the Location Bar to type in a URL, but is there a way I can then go to the default text box, to enter data, once the search engine page has been opened, by using a short-cut key? I didn't recognize any of the commands in the Shortcut Keys page as being what I want.

This was helpful, but didn't really answer the question. Pressing Tab when I"m on the google Location Bar takes me to the search text box, which is what my motivation for writing the question was, but I notice that on many pages, it doesn't work. This page, for instance.
I went to the about:config page and changed the <b>accessibility:tabfocus</b> from 1 (tab through every element) to 5 (only tab to the text boxes and links) but it seems to still tab through every element.

How do I let a inserted picture flow over the other text boxes

I am creating a poster. I have a text box on top and one on the bottom. I want to insert a picture in the middle and want the picture to kind of flow around the other two text boxes without blacking out the two text boxes. Also, how can I curve the text boxes to a slight curve.

How to disply the input text box when the data in the table is empty

Hi,
I m using JDeveloper 11g 5.1.1.1 : How to display the Input text box when the data in the table is empty or by using the dual table.
Since there is no record in the table, screen is displying only the lable. not displying the Input text box.? Any property is there to enable?.
One more case i tried by using dual (eg Select '0' as name from dual) created one view object and dragged in the JSF screen as input combo box with list of values.
In this case also it is not displaying the combo box.Just displaying the Lable name and 0 only.
