Which layout: Elastic, fixed, hybrid, liquid?

Hello;
I am starting a new layout (my first), and I do not know
which type of layout would be best for the following conditions:
1. No need to browse on PDA or small displays
2. simple structure, 1 or 2 column
3. Needs to be viewed on monitors from 1024x768 to 1600x1200
(and up if possible)
4. Needs to display properly with user adapted font settings
5. No frames
6. CSS determined columns and layout
7. I use CSS defined drop-down menus (no java or flash)
I hope I have sufficiently defined the most important
constraints.
Thanks for your valued help,
Erik

Ok, I took all your advice into account and decided for a
liquid design but not from the templates, I wanted to have
everything in hand and started from scratch.
Here it is: ess.info.tm (I put it on my own server
temporarily, so you can type either www.ess.info.tm, or ess.info.tm
or
http://ess.info.tm/
The reason I did not take a fixed layout is that low res
screens will show large scrollbars, and large res screens will show
a tiny page. Elastic layouts are too unpredictable. However liquid
design has sizes relative to the viewers display, so the site
adapts (or should..).
Now I have made a draft, but to me it is far from good. I
have a header with three elements: left a logo (float), next a text
with company name, and underneath I try to fit a css based menu bar
(from Stu Nichols,
http://www.cssplay.co.uk/menus/dd_valid.html
The company name in the header gives me a problem when
shrinking the browser window: it wraps around, and finally even
drops into the content div.
Then the menu bar gives me problems too. I already adapted
the menu bar size in relative terms, positioned it left with a
margin, but on low res screens (1024x768) part of the menu goes
missing. I have no idea what correct sizing units to use for the
bar and for the menu elements: %, ex, em,... ?
Currently I use em for the full bar background (and other
full bar specs), and em too for the individual bar elements; but
this gives problems in the low res screens.
What are your suggestions?

  • Which filter to fix moire effect?

    I usually use Gaussian blur to fix a moire effect on clothing, but that's not doing the trick this time.
    Footage is a 30-minute one-person interview, filmed waist-up (seated).  The woman's face looks fine, but she's wearing a jacket with brown & black checkered pattern and it's causing major moire effect.
    Which FCP 7 filter will help with this?  I'd like to apply it just to the jacket, not her face.

    >she's wearing a jacket with brown & black checkered pattern and it's causing major moire effect.
    It will.
    Certain patterns like narrow pinstripes and fine checks are poisonous in video and television. It is your camera operator's responsibility to know this and point it out to the talent and wardrobe people.
    Safest bet is to have them wear plain colors.

  • Unable to set FMBB Layout  and fix Distribution Key

    Hi Gurs
            Subject :  ECC 6.00  Fund Management BCS configuration & Issue in Layout for FMBB  - reg.
    While giving Budget in FMBB,  it askes Distribution Key ( DK ). Then  I selected SAP standard DK No 1 for "Equal Distribution".
    When i save the budget- in FMBB, the Distribution Key coloumn is vanished.   I am advised to check the Layout to rectify it.
    Now I  have been trying to set the LAY OUT with Menu Bar ->  EXTRAS -> CHANGE  BUDGETING WORKBENCH LAYOUT.
    There are  5 Lay out.
    Whatever lay out selected,  that DK is vanished while save FMBB.
    Klyy  advice and correct me ...
    regs /  Devi aparna

    Hi Alex Ice,
    Applied  notes as specified by you..
    Now, in Layout "FMLA"  put the Distribution Key as  7  ( ie. DK 7 stands for Distribution the budget as per dates of period )
    Which is available in FMBB.   ok.
    In FMBB, I have been trying to select " All " in order to distribute the all the 12 period.
    But, it takes the period of 2 and is not distributing the budget for all period.  ( Remember i selected the " Auto Release" ) .
    Don't know where  i missed out the settings.   Kly  guide to proceed further....

  • Disable resizing of columns in ALV grid after layout is fixed

    Hello Experts!
    I needed to decrease size of some of my columns so I used set_fixed_table_layout( abap_true ).
    This worked fine, but when I scroll on the column header , I get a possibility to resize columns by changing the width of culumns at run-time.
    Is it possible to disable this functionality?

    Fixed table layout is a nice way of handling sizing if you wish to eliminate horizontal scrolling. If you want to have specific widths, and disallow re-sizing, why use fixed table layout? Maybe set the columns widths manually in the code.

  • Question about a bug which should be fixed in the 10.2.0.4 patchset

    Hi,
    We have a 10.2.0.4 single instance database on Sun Solaris SPARC (64-bit) and have the same symptoms as described in Bug 4643723 (error codes and the stack trace are the same). That bug should be already fixed in 10.2.0.4 patchset.
    Does anyone have experience on how to proceed in such cases - I mean, is making a SR on metalink an obvious action?
    Is it possible that the patchset wasn't applied correctly although "opatch lsinventory" outputs that the "10g Release 2 Patchset 3 (10.2.0.4)" is installed and SYS.REGISTRY$HISTORY also contains a record of the upgrade. The upgrade from 10.2.0.1 to 10.2.0.4 was performed 6 months ago and the database was continuously up and runing till then.
    Thanks for any answers

    many bugs can have the same errors. Raise an SR.
    Oracle Support will ask for an opatch lsinventory, and may ask you verify library versions, or relink.

  • Which layout I should use?

    Hi,
    I want to develop a panel which will contain label and a text field. Label should appear in first row and textfield should in second row. I tried to use boxLayout, but textfield in the second row is taking its maximum size. I want size of the textfield should be as per my need. What way I can use to achieve this?
    Thanks,
    Atul.

    Sometimes you have to embed a couple of panels to keep things aligning properly. Here's another solution, using this method:
    import java.awt.*;
    import javax.swing.*;
    public class LeftAlignedDemo extends JFrame {
         public LeftAlignedDemo() {
              JPanel cp = new JPanel(new BorderLayout());
              cp.setBorder(BorderFactory.createEmptyBorder(5,5,5,5));
              JPanel promptPanel = new JPanel(new BorderLayout());
              promptPanel.add(new JLabel("Enter a value: "), BorderLayout.LINE_START);
              promptPanel.add(new JTextField(30));
              JPanel temp = new JPanel(new BorderLayout());
              temp.add(promptPanel, BorderLayout.LINE_START);
              cp.add(temp, BorderLayout.NORTH);
              setContentPane(cp);
              setDefaultCloseOperation(EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
              setTitle("LeftAligned Demo");
              pack();
         public static void main(String[] args) {
              SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
                   public void run() {
                        new LeftAlignedDemo().setVisible(true);
    }Note that if you're creating an input form, and have multiple label/textfield pairs, you might consider using SpringLayout. For just one label/textfield pair though, the above should suffice.

  • RAID Disk Layout advice for Hybrid OLTP/Batch app

    I was hoping for some advice from the community on my disk layout for a proposed upgrade to our Oracle setup (Windows 2003, JDE+Oracle9i, primarily OLTP/Batch extracts). Focusing purely from a hardware perspective, we're being given 14 disks to work with. I had initially thought that it was a lot, but when I start putting the spindles into RAID configurations, it doesn't give me a lot of room.<BR>
    <BR>
    <B>2 Disks RAID 1 (mirrored) for OS, App and Oracle Binaries<BR>
    2 Disks RAID 1 (mirrored) for 1 set of online redo log files<BR>
    2 Disks RAID 1 (mirrored) for archive log files<BR>
    8 Disks RAID 10 (mirrored and Striped) for all data/index/undo/temp files.<BR>
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<BR>
    14 total disks</B><BR>
    <BR>
    My question is -- where would I put the other set of multiplexed redo log files? Hardware mirroring gives me fault tolerance against media corruption, but doesn't protect me against accidental deletion of the logs. I don't want to put the 2nd set on the OS drive because it's mixing sequential (100% read / write) and random access (OS paging, binaries).<BR>
    <BR>
    I also wanted to better understand how the LGWR and ARC0 processes work. From the Oracle Perf Tuning Guide, the LWGR writes to one member at a time, so it pays to have alternating log groups on 4 disks. We believe the ARC0 process reads only the primary member of the disk, yet the figure 8-1 in the above document shows an arrow from ARC# to both redo members. So how does it really behave? Does it actually read from one or both members? If it only ever writes to the second set and never reads it, where would I put it? Could I even put the second set of online redo's into the data/index/undo/temp set of disks?<BR>
    <BR>
    I've already been perusing the various AskTom articles and read the Oracle whitepapers (#1and #2) on S.A.M.E. (stripe and mirror everything), and they all make some good suggestions -- it's just with this few disks, I find myself having to make compromises. Any help or suggestions on a better layout would be appreciated.

    Hello Carl,
    You have to implement this SAP Note - 1313075 to meet your purpose.
    Create variant under this program - RFFOAVIS_FPAYM and assign the same in printjob tab in F110.Also you have to maintain the sender mail id details in FSAP T code and receiver mail id details in the concern vendor master data.
    I hope it helps else revert us with your query.
