Why does the properties menu not appear with the templates?

Hi,
This is a bit hard to explain but maybe someone will get it.
If you draw a div on your deisgn window 'draw AP div' then
click somewhere on that div again, in the design window, then you
get a list of properties at the bottom such as width, height, top,
left, z-index etc....ok.
Now if i load the '3 column hybrid header and footer
template' and click on any div on the deisgn window of this
template then i dont get this properties menu at the bottom. The
width in the css template are set in 'em' btw if that matters.
Now i am thinking there is a fundmental difference betwee the
divs in the template than drawing a div using the 'draw AP div'
tool.??
It's kinda of like the templates are using pure css whereas
the AP div is a mixture, ok i am sure i am WAY of the mark here and
this is just a little thing. Can someone explain?
thanks for any advice!

That's because the div *you* created was Absolutely
Positioned, and there is
a specific inspector for absolutely positioned elements. But
the divs in
the 3-column hybrid header and footer are NOT absolutely
positioned and so
you do not get the special inspector. If you are not sure
about the
difference between absolutely positioned and non-positioned
elements, then
you would be well advised to NOT use absolute positioning
until you do. It
will create big problems for you if you ignore this.
> The width in the css template are set in 'em' btw if

That makes the container expand in width as the font size is
expanded by the
visitor, which is what is meant by the 'hybrid' term in the
sample file's
name.

Yes, definitely. This may help you understand positioning a
bit -
There are 4 different types of positioning:
Absolute
Relative
Fixed
Static
Here is a brief explanation of each kind of positioning (with
regard to
placement of elements on the page only)....
Position:absolute (or A/P elements)
This does several things -
1. It 'removes' the element from the flow of the code on
the page so that
it can no longer influence the size or position of any other
page element
(except for those contained within it, of course).
2. The absolutely positioned element takes its position from
the position of
its closest PARENT *positioned* element - in the
absence of any explicitly
positioned parent, this will default to the <body> tag,
which is always
positioned
at 0,0 in the browser viewport.
This means that it doesn't matter where in the HTML code the
layer's code
appears (between <body> and </body>), its
location on the screen will not
change (this assumes that you have not positioned the A/P
element within
a table or another A/P element, of course).
Furthermore, the space in
which
this element would have appeared were it not positioned
is not preserved
on the screen. In other words, absolutely positioned elements
don't take
up any space on the page. In fact, they FLOAT over the page.
Position:relative (or R/P elements)
In contrast to absolute positioning, a relatively positioned
page element is
*not* removed from the flow of the code on the page, so
it will use the
spot
where it would have appeared based on its position in
the code as its
zero point reference. If you then supply top, right,
bottom, or left
positions
to the style for this element, those values will be
used as offsets from
its
zero point.
This means that it DOES matter where in the code the
relatively positioned
element appears (, as it will be positioned in that location
(factoring in
the offsets) on the screen (this is true for any placement in
the code).
Furthermore, the space where this element would have
appeared is
preserved in the display, and can therefore affect the
placement of
succeeding elements. This means that the taller a relatively
positioned element is, the more space it forces on the page.
Position:static
As with relative position, static positions also "go with
the flow". An
element with a static position cannot have values for
offsets (top, right,
left, bottom) or if it has them, they will be ignored. Unless
explicitly
positioned, all div elements default to static positioning.
Position:fixed
A page element with this style will not scroll as the page
content scrolls.
Support for this in elements other than page backgrounds is
quirky
There are several other things you need to know:
1. ANY page element can be positioned - paragraphs, tables,
images, lists,
etc.
2. The <div> tag is a BLOCK level tag. This means that
if it is not
positioned or explicitly styled otherwise, a) it will always
begin on a new
line on the screen, and b) it will always force content to a
new line below
it, and c) it will always take up the entire width of its
container (i.e.,
width:100%).
3. The placement of A/P elements *can* affect the BEHAVIOR of
other
elements
on the page. For example, a 'layer' placed over a hyperlink
will mask that
hyperlink.
You can see a good example of the essential difference
between absolute and
relative positioning here -

You can see a good demonstration of why using layers for a
page layout tool
is dangerous here -

Why does my iphone 3gs not sync with contacts?

why does my iphone 3gs not sync with contacts? In fact it loses contacts during syncing.
In Itunes it is set to automatically sync to the laptop and in info sync contacts is checked and all contacts are checked.

On my Mac Pro, contacts and Thunderbird contacts are synced. I want my Iphone to sync with the Contacts on the Mac Pro. Incidently I am not using Icloud. Is that the problem?

Why does my mobileme email account appear with a circle to the right?

why does my mobileme account in the inbox appear grayed out and with circled~?

The Mobileme system has not been supported for some time now, and was replaced by iCloud, for the most part, but some bits have gone different directions. This started a few years ago and so is no surprise to many, including those who do not have or use mobileme.
For users of later OS X systems, not supported by older hardware, the trail turns bleak. The following ASC discussion and support article assumes a forward path exists, even for mobile me, yet so depending on a later OS X and of more recent hardware support.
•Remove mobile me and add iCloud... (requires Lion 10.7.x & later)
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5503193?tstart=0
•OS X using and troubleshooting Back to My Mac with iCloud Account:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4907
There may be vestige information on this topic in the main Support site online, but that is harder to search anymore, and when items are obsoleted, harder still.
Sorry if this helps you not.
Good luck & happy computing!

Why does my imac camera not work with maverick operating system

i updated my software to 10.9.2 yesterday and facetime and photobooth dont recognize my built in camera on my imac

Try these in order:
1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
    b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
     Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
     COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and
     after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears.
     Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
     Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo).
4. Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo).

Why does my Kodak printer not work with yosemite?

ever since upgrading to yosemite, my kodak printer will not work. i got as far as being able to download a software update but still no joy.

My kodak 5250 would not print and I tryed the termial with no luck and then i received an email from nowater and turn on Bonjuor in safair and now I am printing i did not enter the ip address of my printer
heres the email
I decided to poke around in the Epson settings via the web interface. To do this, just enter the printer's IP address in a browser that's on the same network (you may have to skip some HTTPS / certificate warnings). From there I looked around until I found Wi-Fi/Network Settings / Services / Protocol. On my system, Use Bonjour was unchecked. I had seen in other people screenshots and videos that when the Add Printer tool works, it shows that it connects via Bonjour Multifunction, so I enabled Bonjour and saved the settings. After waiting a few minutes for the settings to be applied, I was able to add the printer via the Add Printer Default tab (I did change the "Use" setting from "Secure AirPrint" to "Epson WF-3620 Series" option -- I think this is the Epson specific driver).
I don't know if Bonjour is disabled by default or if I turned it off somehow in the past and forgot, but it's an easy enough fix that might work for someone else so I thought I should share.
OTHER posible solotion

Why does true-type font not appear in the Microsoft Word Font menu?

Hi,
I am trying to install the "Apple Symbols.ttf" font so that I can use the male and female biological symbols in a Microsoft Word (version X) file. In "Font Book", I found the font under "All Fonts" and dragged it onto the "User" and "Computer" icons in the "Collection" column. However, when I restart Word, the font is not listed.
Is there anyone who could help me with this, please? The Help functions in Word and Font Book could not solve this problem.
Thanks in advance!
eMac Mac OS X (10.4.10)

I am trying to install the "Apple Symbols.ttf" font
so that I can use the male and female biological
symbols in a Microsoft Word (version X) file.
The problem may be that Word v.X is non-Unicode (and kind of obsolete) and can't use a Unicode font like Apple Symbols to display ♀♂ . Best would be to move to Word 2004, TextEdit, or any other more modern word processor.
You might be able to use Word X for this if you can find an old non-Unicode symbols font somewhere that has these in place of Latin.

Why does SUMIF and SUMIFS not work with decimals as the condition?

I'm trying to do a budget report. The items in the budget are number 2.1, 2.2 all the way up to 2.43. On another page I am subtracting the amounts used each month from the allotted budget for each item. The problem that I am having is that when I put in the formula it's not subtracting right because it is ignoring the difference between 2.1 and 2.10, 2.2 and 2.20. Here are two of the ways that I have tried but neither work
=SUMIFS(รายการจ่ายเงิน Feb. 2013 :: จำนวน,รายการจ่ายเงิน Feb. 2013 :: หมายเลขงบ,2.1)
=SUMIFS(รายการจ่ายเงิน Feb. 2013 :: จำนวน,รายการจ่ายเงิน Feb. 2013 :: หมายเลขงบ,"2.10")
=SUMIF(รายการจ่ายเงิน Jan. 2013 :: หมายเลขงบ,"2.10", รายการจ่ายเงิน Jan. 2013 :: จำนวน)
On the page with the monthlly report I have like this:
item number        description         amount
2.1                         food                5.50
2.10                     electric bill          300
on the yearly amounts page it shows the item amounts like this
2.1                     305.50
2.10                   305.50
What I need it to show is like this:
2.1                     5.50
2.10                300.00
Is there a way to make the formula reckonize the difference in the numbers and give the correct results?

TH,
First, you must make sure that your "Item Number" is NOT a number, but is formatted as Text.
Then, add an auxiliary column in which we make certain that the "Item Number" will never be confused with a real number.
Finally, use the Aux column for your "Test Values" range argument in SUMIF.

Why does my css menu not work on my mobile?

I have done a fluid layout which appears to work fine on my mobile, but when I try to use the dropdown menu it does not work.
I have a Nokia C3 by the way - Ancient I know but it uses internet and I don't know whether many people out there will still be using older technology.
The thing is - I know of one person who has an iphone6 who says it works on his phone, but is there a site where you can submit your own website to test the functionality?
I apologise for doing this but I have put up a very temporary link to the test site....
I AM NOT ADVERTISING - but I have put the test site for a friend on my server at the moment on www.tdrd.karoo.net
Don't bother using the contact form - it's not finished and I've removed code so the person will not get bombarded with test emails from people who just want to fiddle (as they do :-))
Could anyone else please tell me if the menu works for them and what can I do to get it working on an older phone?
I have put old style links to same pages at the bottom for backwards compatability but don't know if this is a good idea.
Should I be testing a device for capability and swapping for an appropriate menu - and if so how?
So many questions - thank you in advance for any feedback.
Terry

No - I do not use a stylus. -
I have had the phone a few years now and I could be using old technology.
I know the mobile has two browswers on it.
One is a lite version of Opera Mini but not sure of the version number
I know it is working on a windows phone (my brother) and an iphone (friend) so maybe I should somehow be detecting browser capability or functionality somehow and exchange the menu for a link based one in these instances...
Actually - I have just tried to test it on another site and my phone works on that - so maybe its not script friendly as it uses a .pull script to expand the menu.
Thank you.
Terry

HT2969 Why does my iCal dates not synchronise with Blackberry?

Please help; I have a Blackberry Bold 9700 and I downloaded on my MacBook Pro the Mac Version of Blackberry Desktop manager to be able to synch with my iCal events on my Macbook Pro. The synch works however every All-Day event is being put into my Blackberry calendar a day later than it is meant to be. I tested an Entourage event; imported it into iCal and then synchronised and then it was on the right day. The problem is I need to use iCal as my primary point of event entry because I use it with my iPad.
Has anyone experienced this and found a way around it?

First check that all your settings are correct, that calendar syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the calendars you are using are in your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by clicking/tapping the calendar button in the top left corner of the application ), non iCloud calendars will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your calendars are in the iCloud account, you might try unchecking calendar syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling calendar syncing settings.

Why does my home wifi not work with my apple products

my computer, ipad, and ipod all say that when i connect to my house wifi there is no internet connection yet when i try to connect my xbox and galaxy phone the wifi works just fine i called the wireless company and they told me that the router is working fine i habe no idea weather there is some sort of setting that i can change on the router or on my devices but if there is can someone help it would be much obliged

Check the time and date on your computer and make sure it's accurate.
What happens sometimes if your data and time are off, you get a DCHP lease for the IP address from the router to connect, then it quickly expires, making it appear you connect for a second and then get cut off.
The Mac gets it's time from Apple servers, however if it's not connecting, then it can't update the time and date.
Hopefully this will resolve your issue.

Why does browser.search.intab not appear to function in 8.0 ?

In Release 3.5 browser.search.intab set to 'true' causes a new tab to be opened when you do a toolbar search. That doesn't appear to be the case with 8.0.
Extremely useful feature!!

browser.search.openintab
True: When performing a search from the Search Bar, open the results in a new tab.
False (default): Open search results in the current tab/window.
