Your advice for best resolution/page dimensions for building a website

Hi. I would like to know your opinions on what the best resolution to use is prior to building a website in GoLive.
Is it best to design a site that would fit a monitor screen thats 1024 x 768, considering that 1024 x 768 is probably the most common resolution people use?
Or should I go higher and design my site at a 1280 x 1024 resolution, which is what I've set my monitor to display that I'm currently using, although
it's not as common a resolution that most people use...and people with monitors that do not support resolutions higher than 1024 x 768 will have to scroll
to the right to see the full webpage?
Or am I overanalyzing this too much, considering that flatscreen monitors are the current trend, and most of those are capable of displaying a 1280 x 1024 resolution, and I'd simply need to add a little message at the top of my site that reads "this site is best viewed at 1280 x 1024 resolution"?
...your feedback please.
Thanks,
Chris.

Well, let me ask your advice on this then. I've been designing my website in Golive basically by setting up a grid, and placing transparent gifs where I want them to go, with a frame on the left for the menu.
My website is a unique custom tribal store in which I create and sell all sorts of cool things..
I have been designing my website to view fully on a 1024 x 768 resolution. Since I am not using a liquid css layout, if you view my website at 1280 x 1024 resolution, you will see a white column on the right where the website ends at 1024 x 768. To illustrate what I am referring to, here are the examples;
viewed at 1024 x 768, it's perfect.
but viewed at 1280 x 1024, herein lies the problem.
So, what is your advice on how I should go about laying out my website so that it will scale to view fully on a 1280 x 1024 resolution as well as a 1024 x 768? The type of layout I need involves a static scrolling left menu column (scaling ok), a static header for my company logo (scaling ok) that does not move when you scroll down the page, and a liquid body that can scale and scroll down while the header stays in place.
Should I use a liquid css layout, should I continue as I am doing with a basic grid and left frame for the menu, as well as a frame for the header so it remains static, and a frame for the body that scrolls so people can view products...
I need advice on how to structure the site before I begin adding products and images and things. What would be the best type of layout to use for what I am trying to accomplish so that it can be viewed fully at virtually any resolution when a person expands or contracts their browser window?
Thanks,
Chris.

Looking for best application and stylus for iPad

I am looking to download an application for an ipad to use with a stylus, but don't know which application or stylus is best. Please share your opinion on the best application and stylus for taking handwritten notes.

Procreate is the only good reason to own an iPad, it has support for the top three stylus. However iOS7 has broken the Bluetooth Bridge that Pogo Connect, Wacom and Jot need to give pressure sensitive support. Procreate hardly works now.. except..you want to finger paint.
But when it is fixed I would suggest buying the Pogo Connect and a set of nibs and if I had only one App to use it with I'd use Procreate. It's vastly superior to many desktop Apps too.
However, Apple relying on third party Stylus support only makes my MS Surface Pro look like where I'll be spending my cash on the next upgrade cycle. Why Apple has not come out with an iPad Pro is a stunning insult.

Best Resolution/Quality Settings For 4:3 Video Going To DVD...

Hello,
I have several old Hi8 tapes that were imported into iMovie 10x and need to find the best export quality for these uncropped 4:3 videos. They will be exported via "Share > File" into an MP4 file format (with H.264) and then sent to a third-party DVD program. So, what resolution and quality settings do I use?
Do I use the highest resolution (1280x720) and then gauge down the custom quality until it can fit on a 4.7GB DVD?
Do I use whatever resolution that can handle the quality of "High" and still fit on a 4.7GB DVD?
Peace,
Dr. Z.

Hi
DVD is as standard - Interlaced SD-Video quality - Whatever Video-DVD authoring program used (e.g. iDVD, Toast etc)
Feeding iDVD Higher resolution and Progressive material - Will not improve the final DVD but decrease the quality as iDVD do a bad job in downscaling.
To get best possibly result I do
- Use a Video-Editing program that can handle - Interlaced SD-Video quality - as iMovie up to HD6 and any version of FinalCut.
iMovie'08 to 11 can not do this in full.
- Export as QuickTime .mov (just straight off) - if iMovie HD6 then just drop the Movie project icon into iDVD (All Quality is preserved)
- Brand of DVD used - I only use Verbatim
- Type of DVD used - RW-DVD usually do not work. R+DVD only works on Newer DVD-players - I use R-DVD
- BURN SPEED - I set as low possibly
- Free Space on Boot Hard Disk (Mac OS/Start-up one) - never less than 25Gb
This should deliver best possibly result.
Good Luck !
Yours Bengt W

What export format for best resolution and 4:3 aspect ratio

Team,
I am putting together a DVD for my son's hockey season. It is a mixture of Livetype stuff, imported DV clips (Not HD), and using a program called Photo To Movie for my photo montage's.
I have about 2 mins of livetype stuff, and about 2 mins of an export from "Photo to movie" in iMovie DV (NTSC) format
Now I'm doing a few dry runs to see if this newbie can get this to DVD using iDVD. Now when I burn it, and I play it on a standard DVD player on a standard 4:3 ratio TV, I'm seeing a black bar on the top and on the bottom.
The only way I get those bars to go away is if I export from FCE in Streaming DV format (export using quicktime options and choosing DV Streaming (then imported into iDVD), but I'm feeling my quality is lower as a result. Am I off here? Is there a format that has high export quality .
I'm new to mac, and am not accustomed to "Exporting" and "Importing" and maybe I'm screwing something up during those events. I just think my video quality may be suffering because I can only get DV Streaming to not have the black bars when burning with iDVD.
Any advice would be appreciated asap.
Thanks!

I'm exporting from FCE and I then use it in iDVD. My brain is fried, and I may have not been clear on the following: I export from FCE using File => use quicktime conversions.
Now when I export to straight-up Quicktime (not use quicktime filters), and then take that Quicktime file into iDVD it gives me a "Widescreen Preview" and when I take the next step and burn to DVD and play on a 4:3 aspect TV it comes out with the black bar on top and bottom (Which I believe is letterbox?)
So that being said, I'm at a loss as to why there are letterboxes in iDVD.
Thanks in advance.

I found something close. http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5924938&#5924938
It appears they are going from "Photo to Movie" straight into iDVD and having a similar issue. The big difference is that I'm using FCE before I go to iDVD.

What Is The Best Image Pixel Dimensions For iPad 2 Photographs?

I just purchased an iPad 2 64Gb. I want to add photographs to my iPad. I want the photographs to completely fill the screen but still be small enough to use the minimum amount of memory space. A smaller image size will also make them more responsive when navigating between images.
Does anyone know the image pixel dimensions that I should use to have the photographs completely fill the iPad screen? I am assuming a resolution of 72 pixels per inch is sufficient because the screen is essentially a video screen.
Thanks!
Bill

1024-by-768 is the size of the screen.

Looking for best wireless Network Adapter for my PowerMac G5

Dual 2.3 GHz PowerMac G5 (PowerMac11,2)
5.5GBs DDR2 SDRAM
Leopard 10.5
Before the local Mac Store upgraded me from Tiger To Leopard I was using a Hawking Technology HWUG1A Wireless Adapter. It was clunky and the software crashed me now and then. Now that I'm on 10.5 the Hawking Tech. software crashed me every time it tried to connect to the router. I uninstalled it using AppCleaner, then reinstalled the Hawking 'Leopard version' of the software/firmware, still crashing me.
There support says "it should work" which I could still pursue getting it to work correctly, but I want to move on since I've never been happy with the product and don't want to risk wasting to much time incase it is simply not going to work.
It seems I have some PCI(e) slots (whatever is in the PowerMac) available on this mac, can it take a wireless network card? That would be much better than a USB doogle. Anyway, I'm looking for a reliable solution for connecting my PowerMac G5 to my router without using cables. Can you please recommend a product if you know of one?
Thanks for your time!

Hi Monty,
These USB Wifi adapters work great...

Looking for best way to test for a program

I like test path better. My problem is through all the different versions of office they cant all install to the same directory. Research time.

It's part of a script I already have each tech has to run locally due to management decisions(that I have no control over). Right now I prompt the tech if they want to install it. Then test for the installer and install it.

What are the best sequence presets and settings to use in FCE for the best resolution with the least amount on strain on computer?

Hello!
Can someone please help me figure out the best settings to use in order to obtain the best resolution in FCE4 for a television show that is going to be sent out on full size Sony DVcam tapes, with 4:3 aspect ration and audio output at 48kHz? I am currently working with mixed media sources in Final Cut Express, and I am wondering what the best settings (presets and preferences) are, in order to provide the HIGHEST resolution possible, while putting the least amount of strain on my computer system?
I am importing mini DV-standard definition footage and still photos (from Canon Rebel camera, HD CMOS Canon camcorder that records in 1440x1080 at 48 kHz, and cell phone photos). For voiceovers I use the tools in FCE.
I use Voltaic (which I use thanks to recommendations from Apple discussion boards, love it!) to convert the footage from the HD CMOS-Canon HD VIXIA (HG 20) camera, and then I am using print to video to output onto Sony DVcam tapes (full size). This is for delivery for a television network that broadcasts in Standard Definition, so I need to produce the highest resolution and best quality possible that also puts the least amount of stress on my computer system.
If anyone has any recommendations, help, or sources that can help me answer this question I would be greatly appreciative.
Thank you!
Susan Kayne

This is happening because your video clip properties do not match your sequence settings. This is always a problem when you try to insert video from multiple camcorders/cameras (that use different video codecs, frame sizes & rates) in a single sequence.
It will help a lot if you provide more specifics - what FCE easy setup did you use to create your sequence? For your DV footage, are you using standard 4:3 DV or anamorphic 16:9 DV clips?
If you plan to export to standard def (DV/DVCAM) and are mixing DV from a miniDV camcorder, stills, cell phone images and AVCHD then I would suggest that you use the DV NTSC easy setup for your sequence. Use MPEG Streamclip or similar utility to convert your non-DV video (your AVCHD video) to QuickTime/Apple DV-DVCPRO NTSC. Then all your video will match your sequence settings. Yes, you will have to crop the AVCHD footage to 4:3 and you can do that in MPEG Streamclip.

Yes, we strongly recommend the use of AL32UTF8 for XML DB.

Iphoto photo import - best image type for max resolution (jpg vs tiff)

What is the recommended image type for maximum resolution of photos brought into iphoto albums, since I will be enlarging them? (ie assuming everything brought into iphoto is set/reduced to a standard resolution, then jpg might allow more digital data for later enlargement; on the other hand tiff is often recommended for best resolution though it requires more space). Thanks, - D

Thanks, Terence - OK, lets assume I shoot a 5-meg photo of a painting and adjust the paralax etc in photoshop so it is perfectly set inside the rectangular format. Now I want to import it into iphoto, knowing that I will use the crop tool to make two blow-up enlargements to go along with the original full-size image... total 3 related images of the artwork. As you mentioned these will eventually go into iweb as part of a series inside an album, with a hyperlink connecting the two enlargements to the full-size image... so viewers can tap to see finer detail and then go back to the overall composition. My question is, for the original photo image of the painting should I drag a 10-meg tiff into iphoto or a 2-meg jpg? (I do not know what importing the image into iphoto does to the original in terms of final image resolution and data size... Will a 2-meg jpg provide sufficient data to work with and enlarge via the cropping, or would the 10-meg tiff be better as a starting point? Or, if everything gets translated into a certain pre-ordained size anyway, would the tiff get watered down to, say, a 2-meg-size image anyway?) Thanks, - D

Change the Page Title for all the pages when viewing the Reports in Bi Publisher

Hello ,
I have a requirement for changing the Page Title for all the report displayed pages on the browser window.

As far as I know, answer is NO.
it's very simple answer Manikandan-S-Oracle
for 1210326 's requirements there are some places for changes of property "title" and in some pages "title" can be different
"one place or option for changing" does not exist imho ( may be i'm wrong )
so you can change places for your needs but not sure what it's adequate
as example
...wls\user_projects\applications\bipdomain\xmlpserver\catalog\navigator.jsp --> find <title>
it changes title in http://somehost:7001/xmlpserver/servlet/catalog
... wls\user_projects\applications\bipdomain\xmlpserver\home\home.jsp --> find <title>
it changes title in http://somehost:7001/xmlpserver/servlet/home
