RE: Stolen from the Macromedia Homesite Forums regarding Homesite +

Funny how Adobe was awarded $2.8M for it's original (bogus) suit against MM
and MM was awarded $4.9M in it's counter suit (which probably would have
never been filed in the first place).

So does that mean the DMX will still use the tabs because I really like

David didn't post that here, Todd forwarded to this list, it was originally

visit that thread in the HomeSite forum.

While none of the currently shipping software was named in the lawsuit, we
did proactively make some changes based upon all of this stuff that's been
keeping the lawyers busy.

 Hi all,

 I wanted to address the issues you're all seeing with the
 limitations in
 panel dragging and customization in HomeSite+. These changes were
 documented in the release notes, as pointed out below, but
 I'm sure you all
 want a better explanation.

 For reference, a good description of what exactly has been changed is
 available here:
 http://www.macromedia.com/support/homesite/releasenotes/plus/r
eleasenotes_pl
us.html#known

I'm afraid our hands are tied when it comes to making these changes. They
weren't done to in some way limit HomeSite+, they were done out of legal
requirements. All of the Macromedia MX products had to change because of
this (compare Dreamweaver MX shipping version to the preview release, for
example). We're aware that these changes are important to some people, so
here are some things we can do to mitigate them:

You can download VTM tag updaters for ColdFusion Studio 4.5 and 5 to get
ColdFusion MX tag support into these products (this essentially gives CF
Studio 4.5 or 5 the same functionality of HomeSite+). Download the updater
here:
http://www.macromedia.com/software/coldfusionstudio/productinfo/resources/ta
g_updaters/

You can also download the CFML help tree for HomeSite+ here:
http://download.macromedia.com/pub/homesite/updates/cfml_ref.zip

Please feel free to ask for any further clarifications or questions.

Changing to ...-color: in the FORM .css file statement effects

scrolled area of the  page. Then the text becomes visible.


I don't want the entire page background to be  #66 in color so I have
not used that approach..

It's maddening at the  moment!  Pulling the color statement out leaves the

 So I hit it with IE 5.5 and all is OK.

 Next I pulled the View/Source output apart and everything looks OK.

 Discovered that if I pull the background statement,(SeeBelow) out of the
css file then it displays properly... but that's a bummer because that
ruins the esthetics of the page.

 Is there something wrong with my .css statement that anyone can tell?

 FORM {  font-size : 11px;

We used a slider once and we had the same problem.  Try this:

1. Create a style for the fields that get in the way.  In that style define
the propertie visibility and set it's value to display
2. Then in your slider code change the value of the visibility property to
hidden when the slider is visible and then back to display when the
slider is not visible.

Should work for both IE and Netscape.

 try putting the menu in a layer with a greater z-index than the rest of
the
 page.  That should solve it.

My understanding is that this won't do anything. It has something to do with
form elements having an infinite z-index. Has this changed with the latest
browsers (NS6)?

RE: how long should this take(Opinions)

2002-05-29 Thread Ronald West

I actually did this a few times and I think 14 hours start to finish is not
bad.  A few things that I took advantage of:

In Adobe I used the Image Ready tool to draw guides around my images and
then create HTML with the sliced guide sections.  (Saves a lot of time
converting layout design to html).

Usually you have two main sections of a website (especially simple sites)
the navigation and content areas.  I would create a template with the HTML
generated by IR.  Then just send a query string along with each of the
sections of the website for instance if you had three sections (home,
content1, content 2) I would code the links all to go to index.cfm?stage=#x#
(the template from IR).  Each different stage would just include the content
inside the template where needed.

I hope that makes sense.  It just gives you a way to control content
separate from layout.  That way if the client wanted to change either, you
didn't chase the changes around.

Just something to think of.

1. The site design is layed out in photoshop by our designer and I cut
and create the new images for the site from these image files.

2. Most sites I am working on have approx 10 - 15 pages that need this
layout applied and their are about 3 or 4 different layouts per site.

3. They have an ASP shopping cart that must be applied to each page,
Copy and paste stuff...

RE: populate a table

Actually John, an insert statement can have a FROM clause.

I believe that Robert might have been confused on the syntax, but if he
wanted to say pass an Id for a chosen Vendor he could have performed the
following:

CFIF selectvendor is not New Vendor
cfquery name=addvendor datasource=purchases
INSERT INTO purchases (
vendor,
Contact,
Address)
SELECT vendor, contact, Address
FROM vendor where vendor = #selectedvendor#
/cfquery

Or something of the like ... where he would get the contact and address
information from the vendor's table and insert it into the purchases table.

Hi,

Do you really need to use layers? If you dynamically generate the color of

image inside the td as well.

Unless you will have text in the td and want some soft image over the top
of the text.

this with certain symbols. Say exam date or finish of term date. What I
need to do, if possible is output a second layer on top of the existing
table. What I am looking to do is use layers to put this top layer in
the correct table cell. Can anybody help or point to any resources that
could be of help?

Thanks for any help

You're wrong :)

1 MB = 1000 kB = 100 B

1 Mi = 1024 Ki = 1048576 B

RE: Dynamic Layers

2002-05-27 Thread Ronald West

Are you thinking then of trying to match a layer up with a Table.  Possibly
using the div or layer tag?

That will be a pretty formidable task.  Especially if you are dealing with
cross browser compatibility.

I am sure that  there is a lot of code involved with what you are doing but
I have a feeling that there is a really simple solution to this.

Thanks for the reply Ron,

But the way I've coded it means I am  looping through the months of the
year like this

   2001| 2002| 2003  |
J|F|M|A|M|J|J|
|COLOR| -THE COLOR EXTENDS OVER A NUMBER OR MONTHS
|SYMBOL|- THE SYMBOL ONLY NEEDS TO GO OVER ONE MONTH

Because a certain number of cells may be empty I cannot see how this can
be done without two different loops.
Its not just a matter of putting the details into just one predicted
cell in the table.

Hi,

Do you really need to use layers? If you dynamically generate the color
of
the td cell (bgcolor or better yet through css), you can just place an
image inside the td as well.

Unless you will have text in the td and want some soft image over the
top
of the text.

Subject: RE:Dynamic Layers


I am attempting to build a dynamic scheduling system.

At the moment I have a system based over time where a user can enter
colours for a particular number of months to reflect when an action took
place. So say you had spent 3 months doing a certain task you input the
start date and end date, select the task and output this with an
appropriate color over a timespan of say 4 years.

What the client is now looking for is to add another layer on top of
this with certain symbols. Say exam date or finish of term date. What I
need to do, if possible is output a second layer on top of the existing
table. What I am looking to do is use layers to put this top layer in
the correct table cell. Can anybody help or point to any resources that
could be of help?

Thanks for any help
