All instances of object in the master page
I have a field of text at the top of my master page object. When the user selects from a drop-down list object, background color of the text box must change from white to green, yellow or red. I have created the script to the change event of the fall down and it works properly until a second page is created dynamically, as a result of text, the user added to other areas. How can I select all instances of the text field?
Here is my script:
Form1.Subform4.Table2.Row1.Overall[0]::change - (JavaScript, client) if ($.boundItem(xfa.event.newText) == "Green") { xfa.resolveNode("#pageSet.Page1.OverallTop").border.fill.color.value = "204, 255, 204";//green color } if ($.boundItem(xfa.event.newText) == "Red") { xfa.resolveNode("#pageSet.Page1.OverallTop").border.fill.color.value = "204, 255, 204";//red color } if ($.boundItem(xfa.event.newText) == "Yellow") { xfa.resolveNode("#pageSet.Page1.OverallTop").border.fill.color.value = "255, 255, 0";//yellow color }
Hi DKinsley ,
I had a similar problem and solved in this way:
You must change the JavaScript code in this way, you change all cases on each masterpage, where the element is inherited.
In you case the code would probably look like this:
Form1.Subform4.table2.Row1.overall [0]: change - (JavaScript, client)
- If ($(xfa.event.newText) .boundItem == "Green") {}
- xfa.resolveNode ("pageSet.NameofMasterpage [0].") OverallTop'). border.fill.color.value = "204, 255, 204; green color
- }
- If ($(xfa.event.newText) .boundItem == 'Red') {}
- xfa.resolveNode ("#pageSet.NameofMasterpage [1].") OverallTop'). border.fill.color.value = "204, 255, 204; red color--> that is the same color as above
- }
- If ($(xfa.event.newText) .boundItem == "Yellow") {}
- xfa.resolveNode ("#pageSet.NameofMasterpage [2].") OverallTop'). border.fill.color.value = "255, 255, 0; yellow color
- }
I'm not that good in coding, so maybe the code should always get running, but I hope it points you in the right direction.

InDesign encounter error when locking of objects on the master page
I have CS5 and love it. But after the moving objects on my master page between the layers (don't ask me why, just thought it might be a good idea) I can't lock without blocking InDesign objects (Ctrl-L). He meets a mistake and locks upward. I use the Task Manager to shut down and start over. You are not allowed to move objects on the master page between the layers? Do I need my mouse slapped?
What is the error?
Why do you need to lock the object? It should be locked on normal pages? I was wondering.

Please can someone tell me what I am doing wrong? Text stream object and the master page
I need to create a book. I did a master page with a page number, the text box and the header, made up of 65 pages in total.
clicked on apply to all, he said , he asked, and each consecutive page has an 'A' on this subject, but no figure of page? And I clicked to place the text, the first page is visible, but none of the subsequent pages. There is a small top of the icon to the left of each page that says that if I click on it: "this story is the flow of the main text of the master", but there is no visible text, it did not sink on the page. Help! I am a new user of Indesign. I tried all the online tutorials, you tube, etc. Lyndas yesterday, but nothing covered this issue. Any ideas?
We need to see a screenshot of the page master and a document page, but it seems to me that you put the page marker in a primary text block. I don't think it will work. Markers must be in an ordinary setting which does not thread with something else. You can put other static text in the frame with the marker, however, if you wish.

My navigation links on some pages and not on others. Only 2 of my 7 links work on the home page, 6 of the 7 work on another, and on other pages, they work. They are all together in the master and are linked to their corresponding page. No idea why?
Layers. There is other content on top of your navigation. Even the transparent part of the other objects will block the mouse events to reach your NAV.
At this point you probably just 'Layer 1' in the layers panel. Content on the layer 1 on the master page will always be behind the content on the layer 1 on the page to that master is applied.
Create a 'layer 2' (which will be on top of the layer-1) and go to navigation. Now the navigation will be on top of the element on the layer 1 on your page and these elements will block are more mouse events to reach your NAV.

Button state created the Master page properties not applying does not at all pages
When I create a button and add a hyperlink to this button on my main page, the hyperlink properties do not apply to all other pages. So when I test my Web site and click on the 'Services' button, it will take me to the page "Services". However, since the 'Services' page the other buttons do not work. Technically, they must work because EVERYTHING is created on the main page should apply to all pages, including linking them. Is there a bug in the function?
Hello
This problem is usually caused when objects are located above the Navigation bar, so that you are unable to click on it.
To resolve the issue:
(1) open the master page with Muse
(2) create a new layer using the layers panel
(3) move the navigation bar at this new layer: select the navigation bar, click with the right button on it > go to layer
4) to ensure that this new layer is on top

Change the properties of the presence of an object on a Master Page
Hello...
Question: When I change the presence of a subform that resides on the Page1 (templates) of hidden (default) to visible, I only see on the first page of the form.
ORT_Form.resolveNode("#pageSet[0]"). Page1.SubLock.presence = "visible";
I set the visible Subform subform tab and then used the code above (changed to hidden) in the case of the initialization of the subforms. This time, page 1 has been hidden and the rest were visible.
I assumed that all parameters of the subform would be global across all form pages on the master page. This does not work as I expected.
To test yet... I placed a button next to the subform with the image on the Master Page, with the same code above. I put the hidden and then subform when I tested, I could make the visible image by clicking on the button on each page.
So, how I click a button and get this image to toggle the presence on all pages?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. This isn't a big deal and if it be eaten at the end of the day. I just want to understand.
Thank you
Chris L
The button works on the main Page because you work in the same context. You need only supply the full path to the object of the xfa.resolveNode statement... as you had in your original design.
xfa.resolveNode ("form1. PageSet.pageName.objectName...

How to make an object on the master always appear in front on my pages?
I can't seem to find a way to make an object on my master to always appear in front on my pages. I watched a video on lynda.com muse essentials and it says to select the master then select the object, then go to the tab object in the menu and select move to which I did and it just shows a greyed out layer1, on video, he showed moveto > master forefront
Thank you

Refer to a similar thread here - http://forums.adobe.com/message/5581528.
You just need to move the content of your master page to the top layer of most in the layers panel. And the content of the pages of content in the other layers to be able to manage easily. This shoud keep the contents of the master page at the top.
The option "move to" is abandoned since we launched a workflow overall better to arrange the objects using layers - http://helpx.adobe.com/muse/tutorials/layers-muse.html.

Menu on the master page.
I have a question, I've done my menu on the master page and created all kinds of individual pages. Now, I want to be able to use the content in the site properties menu, so I could choose what is happening with my links page or after your visit. But because there are all the individual pages it reloads all the time and nothing happens. I hope I made clear what I mean and can someone tell me how to do it. So the objective is to have a menu on the master page, very simple just something like:
link 1
link 2
link 3 (text) and they are on each page and I want to make them fat, when someone is on this page and I want to let them italic when someone visited this page.
Thanks in advance!
In the properties of your site, you can set the styles of link. Select that box for visited italics and "BOLD" box for the assets.

InDesign CS4 Excel data merge on the master page problem
Hi all
I had the following problem with an automated data merge document. He reads only the first row of cells in the document. That's what I did.
Examples of data
Excel
Colum A Cel A1: Articlenummer
Cel A2 12345
Cel A3 5465
Colum B Cel B1 Description
Cel B2 Test 1
Cel B3 Test 2
Barcode Colum C Cel C1
Cel C2 90000
Cel C3 900001
On the master page, I made a layout with the folling containers. The diagram below is for 1 item.
Text for Articlenummer container
Contatiner text for Description
For the barcode text container
I copied the three containers on the page which resulted in the master page with 40 containers for each item.
I went data merge and connected the TXT document to the first set of containers. InDesign reads the data and place it correctly. But Indesign doenst copy the data in the row of the cell in the following sets of containters. If I connect the document to the next set of containers that indesign don't bed that the data of the first line of the cell which results in a document that contains only the same data.
Somehelp with that does
Best regards
Phillip
I suspect what happens, that's what I described in my previous post, PARAGRAPH:
«Indesign takes what he considers a "record" what on the page, that is from the top left to the bottom right of the page, any indesign objects can enter it considers only a record.»
It's a little hard to explain so I'll demonstrate in images using a simple merge
If the finished merger looks like
but, if a chart is placed on the same page (whether the page master or not, doesn't matter) this is where things can go wrong
but this is easily seen in the preview
so, when you perform a merge of data with multiple records, the data of the variable must be treated separately to static data (items that will be on every page as a background, or in this example, the smiley face).
If the merger on a master page, static elements must be on a master page above and variable must be on a master BASED ON the static captain.
If the merger on a standard page, static elements must be on the master page. The advantage with fusion on a master page is that data remain linked. The downside is that a page can contain variable data in the merged file.
hope it makes sense.

Cannot change the text in the Master Page
I don't often work in InDesign. I had created a template file for a book back in December 2011 (initially created in CS3). I opened this file in CS6 today and did save as. Now it's time to change a few things to customize for this new book. So, I went into the Master Pages to tweak things. But, I can't edit any text. I can click on some pictures (not all), but no text is selectable or editable. What in the world happened to my account?
I have also returned for the final files for the book that I did in December (not the template file, the files of actual work). Those who give me the same behavior. Text that should be editable is not selectable. Once again, some photos can be selected and moved, etc. but no text/text box.
Is there a conversion that takes place opens a CS3 file to the CS6 which causes this? How should I do?
Thank you
Matt Tyree
You can always open the objects individually using either the layers panel (which is been updated, too), or by clicking on the lock icon on the object itself (near the upper left corner).
That said, you'll be happier if you cahng Evos preferences to allow selection of locked objects. This essentially restores the beahvior you are used to see - post is locked, but you can still select and put the content in a frame.

Insert the Page without re - apply the Master Page
Hi, using InDesign CS5, I try to insert a page after page 1 of a catalog without re - apply the master page to all pages that follow - is - possible? I have set up in the master that I would delete not instead of text boxes.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
See you soon,.
DC
Sorry, I know that this was not clear.
When a page switch sides in the spread of the elements of the template that have been overridden, as blocks of text in which the text has been flowed, will be maintained, but the new position of the page also has main objects and these masters objects will all be there. In the case of things like the headers or footers or other objects that have not been overridden, new objects will appear and the 'old' will disappear, but for what it is overridden, you'll have the old and the new. Without using something like the plugin Pro Auto-Flow - Tools.com, the only way to avoid this is to add or remove multiples of two, or rethink the use of the main object. These blocks of text should be on the master page? You can "auto format" text without master images, and most of the time setting the margin and column guides to contain the flow is preferable to the use of a block of text type for precisely the reason that you see.

detach the Master page elements results in duplicate
Hello
People in my office are calmly a new problem with some documents - if we want to edit a Master Page to a page item, we do our usual command-shift-click to remove the issue of the master. In the past, this would result in the element becomes editable. But now when we command-shift-click, InDesign creates a copy of this issue, that it sticks on top of the Master Page element. There seems to be no way to change or get rid of the issue of the Master Page.
I tried different possibilities in the Pages menu, for example, by selecting the page in question and "unpin all objects of the master". No help there.
Is the damaged document or have I missed something?
I use InDesign CS5 for Mac. worm 7.0.3
Thanks in advance,Kurt

Combo / twisties in the master page footer section?
HR 2015 (12.0.3.428)
Windows 7 64 bit
CHM output
How to make scrolling text or twisties work in the footer of a master page section?
We try to add drop-down text menu / twisties in footer of each topic so that our clients can access company, product, technical support of any subject information. To do this, the most logical is to change the master page and add content in the footer.
We have these main sections:
Contact the Doc Team
Documentation PDF
Support links
Information about the company
Product information
Here is roughly what I want to be like him once that the user he develops:
Contact the Doc Team
Send your comments
Documentation PDF
Readme file
Manuals
Support links
Technical support
Forum
Regional office
Information about the company
Address
Web site
Product information
Name of the product
Version
Web site
But when I open the master page in the main editing view, the ability to add the drop-down list feature is grayed out inside HR.
I tried to create the footer drop-down content in a separate test topic and then copy and paste directly into the master page. HR removes such content from the minute I'm trying to save him, leaving only the related topics. Example of text that is deleted:
<? HR-droptext_start class = "droptext" id = "POPUP542020552" style = "" display: none; '? " >
< class p = "footerpar" > Readme.pdf | < a href = "#" class = "footerlink" > LINK
HERE < /a > < /p >
< class p = "footerpar" > printable manuals | < a href = "#" class = "footerlink" > LINK
HERE < /a > < /p > <? HR-droptext_end? >
Are there workarounds to accomplish twisties on a section of the footer of a master page without using an external .js file?
I may try a road .jquery if I can't get HR to behave, but would like to just use the page master itself without other files.
I finally got drop downs working inside a .hts which is then inside the .htt footer section.
I discovered that the problems in the CSS I posted in the pictures above are attributable mainly from my own CSS problems.
However, when I tried to add images twistie, bad new...
Twisties are all or nothing in RoboHelp. You apply all the drop Downs or None.
That won't work for us, since our footer is a background more dark.
So I created my own downfall personalized stockings with jQuery and CSS.
And they worked!
Well well, mostly...
Long story short: it has been a painful week and the other half, mostly spent trying to get this .hts of footer to the appearance and behavior of the way I want it too in my chm. I had to do a LOT of trial and error and additional testing to figure out something that works.
Things I've learned:
- Square pegs can go in the round holes with a lot of hammering and a lot of mess.
- CHMS are old. They are not easier to work with when it comes to the use of styles. Many things are not taken in charge you can do in a normal browser.
- Under the hood CHMS use IE 7, so you have to use CSS that matches that version.
- You can work around some limitations that HR requires using methods and tool parts.
- Use a repository. If you make a mistake or fall a path that you want to cancel or put on the shelf for later, you can do it easily. (I'm really happy that I did. I could come and go between my revisions and see what the code worked and which did not easily).
- In a repository, use a test project that mimics your production project, including the folder structure, but on a much smaller scale you can do faster chm builds. (I got my footer to work Monday, but when I moved it into our real project, the footer did not work on CHMS in subfolders. So I had to build a workaround for this. I would have seen previously had I better imitated my directory structure.)
- Don't get so sucked into approach that you neglect other tools or methods that might be simpler. (I spent a good amount of time trying to get HR drop downs working in HR footer when jQuery, once I figured how to make, provided a simpler approach.)
Result of my footer (with custom twisties and drop downs in expansion):

Breakpoints on the master page do not apply to pages
Hello
When we define four different stitches on the master page, these definitions do not apply on pages that are related to this master page.
How can we solve this problem?
Thank you
By clicking on the small triangles in the bar of breakpoint on the layout page, which represent the masterpage breakpoints.
MasterPage breakpoint are not automatically applied to layout pages, because the masterpages content can "break" so many different places that the content of your layout pages. Just think about 4 images now on the master page, which would have need of repositioning on smaller screen sizes and a simple text on layout, that does not need any breakpoint at all.

How to edit a page that uses the layout of the master page?
Hi I made a layout in the master page and its now on all pages, but I want on some pages of the stuff away but I can't edit this more or its not let me remove/resize or else its not let me I have just to see the layers I can turn their market but I there is no arrow I can click Open all that is inside.
This is how works the master page. You cannot change the things that you put there on normal pages.
On master pages, you should leave that parts of your layout which sholud look the same on each page. Other parts of the layout must be placed directly on the pages.
