Scroller Height

Hi

Is it possible to make a vertical scroller slightly shorter
than the content it is acting on? For example I want to make to use
a ScrollPane but i want its scroller to be 20%26amp; shorter than the
ScrollPane, is it possible?

url glitches: Contribute 3.1 Mac

Hi,



I'm using Contribute 3.1 to edit some pages on my site. Added
a link to a url that includes the colon symbol (:) On uploading the
page for preview, the colon is transformed to ''%3A'' in the source
code, and the link. Naturally, the link doesn't take me to where I
want to go.



I have tried entering the url through the link properties
panel and through text edit directly in the page code. Either way
the colon changes to %3A on upload.



Insights/Advice anyone?



Thanks, Pam

  • swf not showing all objects in Flash 8

    Hello - This has been happening since I upgraded to Flash 8
    on the Mac. When I create a flash file and hit ctrl + enter to view
    it, everything is there and works correctly. However, when I get
    out of Flash and just try to play the swf file, some of the
    elements don't show up. Sometimes it's text, sometimes its a logo
    or something. Does anyone have any idea what causes this?

    Perhaps the default player used to preview SWF is an older
    standalone or older

    browser player. They don't support any of the new features,
    hence not all items

    can be visible while playback.

    Centering Pages in Browser

    I have a web site made mostly from a template, but some pages
    are just made with layers not from a template. I would like to have
    my page centered when viewed in a browser. Right now when I preview
    in dreamweaver, all the pages are justified to the left. Any ideas?

    Do you mean the template code? Sorry, I'm new at this. What
    code do you need to see?




    I don't know if geragotelis has the same question I have, but
    maybe. I'm sort of new to Dreamweaver, and can figure out how to
    center a table to a page, but how about a layer? How do you center
    a layer so that it will actually appear in the center of all
    browsers? About the best I can do is guess the percentage from the
    left. Isn't there an easy way as with centering tables?
    Hi,



    Using css there are two techniques that I use to center a
    design. The choice is a matter of preference but both do the job
    well enough.



    Start by wrapping your entire content in a div and name it
    something semantic, like ''wrapper''. The code shouls look like this:



    %26lt;body%26gt;

    %26lt;div id=''wrapper''%26gt;%26lt;/div%26gt;

    %26lt;/body%26gt;



    Then add the following css to center the content.



    #wrapper{

    width: 720px;

    margin: 0 auto;

    }



    The width is whatever you require based on your design. The
    margin uses 0 for the top and bottom margin values and auto to
    center the wrapper in the browser viewport. Win IE does not behave
    as it should here and pre V7 browsers when in quirks mode will not
    apply the auto margins setting. IE also misunderstands text-align:
    center; it basically centers everything including the text when you
    use this. However, you can use this to your advantage but centering
    everything in the body tag with text-align: center; You can then
    set the text alignment back to the left by adding text-align: left;
    to the #wrapper, like this:



    #wrapper{

    width: 720px;

    margin: 0 auto;

    text-align: left;

    }



    The body css looks like this:



    body{

    text-align: center;

    }



    This code is is hack but no too intrusive. However, if you
    don't want to use a hack then you can use the second option, which
    uses relative positioning and margin settings to center the page.
    Here is the code:



    #wrapper{

    width: 720px;

    position: relative;

    left: 50%

    }



    This code sets the left edge of the wrapper 50% across the
    viewport, or in other words in the center of the viewport. To get
    the page centered you apply a negative margin to the wrapper that
    is half the total width of the wrapper. In this example that is
    margin-left: -360px;



    The complete code looks like this:



    #wrapper{

    width: 720px;

    position: relative;

    left: 50%;

    margin-left: -360px;

    }

    %26gt; The body css looks like this:

    %26gt;

    %26gt; This code sets the left edge of the wrapper 50% across

    Hi,



    Referring to Murry's quote ''No need to do all that. You can
    do it without hacks''.



    Please read the entire thread. I offered two solutions, one
    of which does not use hacks.



    Also, the ''no need to do all that'' seems an odd comment if it
    refers to either of my code snippets. Both snippets are short and
    will validate. Please let me see any css that you may have that
    achieves the same thing with less code. I am always open to new and
    exciting ways of achieving great things with minimal css.



    Nick Barling
    You say their are two ways to do it, but only one of the ways
    you present

    will work if there are absolutely positioned elements
    involved.



    You say the final state for this method is this -



    The complete code looks like this:



    #wrapper{

    width: 720px;

    text-align:left;

    position: relative;

    left: 50%;

    margin-left: -360px;

    }



    I say that the better way is -



    #wrapper{

    width: 720px;

    text-align:left;

    position: relative;

    margin:0 auto;

    }



    No left:50%, no negative margins. So, no need to do all that.

    Win IE pre v7 in quirks mode does not apply auto margin
    settings correctly. Are you implying in your code snippet that by
    positioning the wrapper relatively this will cause pre V7 Win IE
    browsers to render the auto margin setting correctly?



    Saying that only one of my examples works when absolute
    positioning is involved is misleading.

    I fully understand that absolutely positioned elements take
    their positioning reference point from their nearest positioned
    ancestor and, indeed, if the designer wished to absolutely position
    an element/s using the wrapper div as a reference point then that
    wrapper div would need to be positioned. However, to center a
    design as I described in my first snippet works perfectly within
    the context of a simple case of centering the wrapper as I
    described. One could quite easily absolutely position any number of
    elements within other positioned elements within the wrapper div if
    they so wished.



    As an aside I think it is also worth pointing out to the less
    capable fledgling css coders the reasoning behind any suggested
    solutions as well as any known references that may help understand
    the more intricate details of css. I have certainly, in the past,
    found out the hard way how many seemingly simple css code additions
    had a fundamental effect on my designs way beyond the issue that I
    was trying to solve at hand. I have come to appreciate any advice
    that also contains detail and reasoning/implications on the code
    that is offered as a solution.



    I am not suggesting that you do not do this but merely that
    we all should offer reasoning/implications/considerations in our
    code offerings.



    My final point is to say that I don't think there is a better
    way, in the context of what you offer in preference to my solution.
    I would say that they are different and really make not a lot of
    difference to the designer. You pays your money and you makes your
    choice!

    You might need to up the resolution before you export it to
    Framemaker.



    When you resize the screen print, use Modify/Canvas/Image
    Size. Change

    the dimensions and/or resolution, deselect the 'Resample
    Image' option.



    You will have to experiment a little to get the results yo
    are after

    but, this will help.



    Freehand, if you have it, would be more suited to this job.

    %26gt; the

    %26gt; software. I do 'Print Screen'' Command and the paste into
    Fireworks. I

    %26gt; then

    %26gt; reduce the image down. However, all the pixels start to
    look very bad

    %26gt; and i

    %26gt; cannot get a nice picture to post into Framemaker. I can
    actually past

    %26gt; the

    %26gt; screen dump into Word, reduce it, and it seems to
    maintain the pixel

    %26gt; qulity.

    %26gt; Any assistance would be appreciated. NOTE: Framemaker or
    Photshop

    %26gt; forum was

    %26gt; not up and running, hence i come here.



    First thing you forgot to mention is: what is the supposed
    output? Is your

    Guide supposed to be printed, or viewed on screen? This is
    something of

    major importance.

    Hi. Thanks for all that. Output will be to PDF which wil
    pobably be sent on CD. But Clients will probably want to print it
    out on paper.

    Why not print the screen as a PDF to start with?

    Hi-res bitmaps implanted into PDF will print well. They are
    likely to be

    displayed not so well sometimes (that's the problem of
    Acrobat

    interpolation, not yours). Whell, as long as I understand the
    situation,

    you should take screencaps as big as possible, then probably
    adjust its

    resolution (without any interpolation), then import it into
    page layout

    application like FrameMaker.

    %26gt;Freehand, if you have it, would be more suited to this
    job



    Or if you have Illustrator, this can do this task. Are you
    using Windows, but don't know the exact version such as XP Pro or
    Vista... don't want to continue to second-guess. lol
    You do NOT change the resolution of a screen capture. It is
    what it is. You

    can't increase the resolution (as there are no pixels to add
    to it) and you

    really shouldn't decrease the resolution (as you end up with
    the problem you

    are having).



    All you need to do is create the screen caps, and then import
    them directly

    into your page layout application. Size the screen cap IN
    your page layout

    program.



    Done.

    Darrel,

    You can change (increase or decrease) it's print resolution
    without

    adding or subtracting pixels.

    %26gt; or subtracting pixels.



    Right. That's done by resizing it in the page layout
    application.



    The resolution setting in your image editor is only used to
    print directly

    from your image editing software, which you rarely need to
    do.

    Darrel,

    I have to admit this discussion would be a lot more fun at a
    local pub

    with a few ales in hand. Then it couldn't be misconstrued as
    anything

    other than friendly banter. :)



    The print size is what your publishing software will see.



    Start with a 1280x1024 pixel screen capture.



    Alter the image print size without resampling to 6x4 inches,
    save or

    export the file and insert it into your publishing
    application, it will

    be 6x4 inches and you didn't lose a pixel. When printed it
    might be hard

    to read or see detail because of it's size. It also won't be
    blurry or

    distorted.



    In Fireworks it is still a 1280x1024 pixel image.



    I agree it's not the most elegant, easiest or recommended
    method but,

    you can get decent print results from Fireworks.



    I'll buy the next round.

    You can do that, or you can just resize it in the page layout
    app to 6x4.

    Same exact results. Still same number of pixels.



    %26gt; I'll buy the next round.



    Sounds good!

    If you are looking for a very quick %26amp; flexible screen
    snap capability, I recommend TechSmith's SnagIT. I use %26amp; much
    prefer Fireworks for website graphics, but to capture windows,
    regions, scrolling web pages, and other types of visual samples,
    SnagIT is extremely easy to use and powerful. You can save your
    capture in a variety of output formats, including SnagIT's own
    proprietary format that allows re-editing of saved images. The
    SnagIT editor lets you create callout text boxes, arrows,
    torn-edges, drop shadows, etc. It is the tool of choice for
    Technical Writers to build instructional steps and images. It's
    very inexpensive and they have a full-featured 30 day trial
    download.

    how to make relation between 2 tables...

    hi

    i have 2 tables in mysql database and i want to make relation
    between the two tables

    how to do that in phpmyadmin or any visual tool?



    thanks in advance.

    how to make relation between 2 tables...
    Hi,



    %26gt;%26gt;

    ...how to do that in phpmyadmin

    %26gt;%26gt;



    even if you could create table relations in PhpMyAdmin
    (I can麓t, but that might depend on the version),
    I麓d rather suggest doing this by using a ''JOIN'' within your
    query -- here麓s a short
    tutorial.



    %26gt;%26gt;

    ...or any visual tool

    %26gt;%26gt;



    there is at least one commercial DW extension available
    that麓s providing a sort of ''visual query maker'' tool including
    creating such JOINshow to make relation between 2 tables...
    MySQL is different from access, in that you have to create
    the SQL to join

    the tables yourself.



    In Microsoft Access, you could drag a join from one table to
    another.

    Although this is a visual process, all its doing is creating
    SQL behind the

    scenes to join the tables.



    With MySQL you don't have a visual editor, you have to
    manually create the

    SQL yourself, and theres load of tutorials on the net which
    will help you

    with this.

    Download Navicat MySQL it has a visual query builder and can
    do alot more.

    Get a copy of HeidiSQL also a useful GUI tool.
