Basic Dreamweaver, CSS. Need help to start, where to start?

Hi all

I'm relatively new to web design and dreamweaver - I took a class for more than a year and remember some of the basics, but it must be put to the test now. My boss asked to update the company's Web site, and I need to know the best way to go about it.

I know that the original site was created with dreamweaver - I have a .css file (which, if I remember corectly, is the file I open really with dreamweaver, right?), as well as the additional files/folders. The problem, however, is that the company's computers is not dreamweaver on it, and my laptop - which does not have the program - has no access to network drives, where the files are located.

Can I just transfer the files from the network drive > zip drive > my laptop and then work on the site from here? If so, what file I actually would open in dreamweaver - the .css?

If it is against the use of my own laptop good and that they are, can I update the site using an open-source program? If so, any recommendations?

I know that these are fundamental issues, but once I started I know I'll be good to go. Thanks for any help, we appreciate it!

As I said before, Dreamweaver is a program based on the site. The basic idea is that you create an exact copy of the live site on your local hard drive. Make the changes or to create new pages in your Dreamweaver site. When you are satisfied with the way in which the pages locally, you connect to the live server and download new or updated files up-to-date. That's all.

If you create a new file or new file, Dreamweaver creates copies of these files and folders on the server if you select in the files Panel, and then click Put icon (which looks like an arrow pointing upwards). As long as the root of the site in your Dreamweaver site definition contains the files and folders in the same hierarchy on the online site, everything will be transferred to the right place. The root of the site is the top level of the site. Let's say that the home page of your site is http://www.example.com/index.html, index.html must be in the root of your Dreamweaver site. If you have a page at http://www.example.com/products/widgets.html, widgets.html must be in a folder called products inside your Dreamweaver site root.

The principle works with Dreamweaver is very simple. Simply, it stores a local copy of the site. The difficult part is the design of the site and style it with CSS.

  • WebServices - need help getting started...

    Hi all

    I am fairly new to Web services and Coldfusion I could use some help getting started. Creating the Web service has already been made, so I need to create a new one, so that the part is already done.  The existing webservice is written in .NET and I need to consume using Coldfusion. I think I have all the information I need from the creator (s) in the various XML files. There are a few examples of applications in the .xml file format in the information that was given, as well as a wsdl.xml file. Of my reading on Coldfusion and Web services is that they are consumed by the...

    < cfinvoke webservice = "yada.wsdl" method = "use" returnvariable = "returnedVal" > "

    and send arguments through

    < cfinvokeargument

    to the Web service that returns the data.

    But t that's where I'm wrong... It seems I should use the wsdl.xml file to connect to the Web service... is that correct? I have to place the wsdl.xml outside the Web root in IIS?

    Any suggestions are appreciated.

    If you try to refer to this wsdl file:

    Directory containing wsdl.xml

    .../wwwroot/mydir/WSDL.Xml

    Then, you must use a parameter like this:

    method http://localhost/mydir/WSDL.xml"="mywsdlmethod"returnvar ="data">

    « ? WSDL"is a ColdFusion function that uses the ability of ColdFusion to generate a wsdl file dynamically on the fly from a SWC file that is configured to be a web service.

  • need help to start a book printed in

    Help

    Need help to put in place a printed book?

    Ask the person or the company that prints the book how they would like that he put in place. The answer will depend on how it will be printed and bound, and more whether or not it will serve. Based solely on the number of pages, I can guess that this will be a staple binding, and if so, the number of pages must be divisible by 4. A needle on horseback's what you usually see in a magazine. If you remove the clips and drag on a sheet, it will be two pages side-by-side with the fold in the middle and at the back will be more than two pages. That's why there are a number of pages divisible by 4. If your number of pages is only (for example) 30 pages, two of its 32 pages printed on the 8 sheets will be that either be empty, or you can add the content to fill the two blank pages.

  • Need help with dynamic where clause.

    Hello world.  I'm kind of a novice with PL/SQL, so please be patient with me.  I am building a web application using Weblogic Oracle 11 g and Oracle database.

    To make a long story short, I need to generate the complex dynamic WHERE clause.  I don't know what will be the name of the column or the operator of comparison or the value will be until the moment of execution.

    I'm not 100% certain, but I think I need to use dynamic SQL statements.  Unless there is a better way to do it.

    I'm sure that using dynamic SQL opens me up to SQL injection attacks if I use simple string concatenation.  I would like to use bind variable if possible.

    In any case, it seems like trying to build a dynamic where clause does not seem to work as I want it would be...

    bv1 := 'colA = 5 and colB >= 9';
    
    query_str := 'SELECT * FROM view WHERE :bv1';
    
    OPEN CUR FOR query_str USING bv1;
    

    The code above pours out when I try to run it.

    Is there a way to build dynamic where the provisions without the use of concatenation of simple string that leaves me open to attacks by SQL injection?

    Thank you

    Hello.  I have read briefly upward on things, you suggested, but it seems a bit abstract for me since I was a novice.

    Can you give us an explanation or an example of how to use it to accomplish what I need to do?

    Do ypu really plan create a query with a WHERE clause that contains a predicate for all possible columns?

    Variable bind offer performance when the same query is executed several times with different values for bind variables.

    Select * from emp where empno =: v_empno

    After the first run Oracle will always be this query in the library cache. The next running can use the version of the cache even if the bind value is different.

    Select * from emp where empno =: v_empno;

    Select * from emp where ename =: v_ename;

    Select * from emp where sal =: v_sal;

    Each one is a DIFFERENT query. Yes - each of them uses a variable binding, but queries are different.

    So, if your username select EMPNO, an '=', and a value from the first query can be executed. But the next time that the user can select the ENAME column so that 'stored' first request may not be used given that the query does not match.

    The third time your user selects SAL so none of the first two queries can be used in the library cache. The use of bind variables gives performance during the SAME QUERY is used multiple times with DIFFERENT values for the variable binding. Oracle is not to analyze the hard query everything simply because the VALUE is different.

    So bind variables do not help you if most of the queries were completely DIFFERENT sets of predicates. And SYS_CONTEXT will not help either since that simply provides a way to define binds the values of the variables.

    Just for the simple example above, there are at least SIX possible combinations of columns that could choose your user name: empno, ename, sal, empno ename, empno & sal, ename & sal

  • InDesign CC is great, but I still need help getting started

    Hello

    I started using Indesign CC and I am impressed by the functions it contains and which I use it some time.

    However, I find a few simple things difficult to do, most likely because I don't know enough (I read CS6 Indesign by S. Cohen) and this is the reason why I come here to help.

    (1) what should I do to make my permanent preferences (for example, units of measure, silver background, etc.), as it seems that when I do these choices they are only good for the paper I work with.

    (2) I'm having difficulties in creating, titles, headings and feet (I have to use tables for this?)

    (3) we know don't no how I can mark the entries to create a comprehensive index

    Thanks for your time, venerable Adobe users.

    Serge

    I will only talk about headers and footers from Salah has already said how to set your preferences for the new defaults and I do not indexing in my work.

    You asked if you use tables, and the answer is no, unless it makes sense to do it by the nature of the header or the footer. Headers and footers are normally set up on the master pages by adding blocks of appropriate text in positions them where you want these headers or footers appear. The master page objects appear on each page of your document is based on this basis. You can add text variables in executives who will find the style of text on the page in the document and insert it in the header or footer, as well as things like page number markers.

    Make sure what you do your frames large enough to accommodate the largest number or text string page you will encounter. Variables are a single character for purposes of formatting, and the text that they pick up will not break across lines, so you can wrap the text that accumulates on top of itself if the frame is too small. I'm not a fan of tables in general because I hate their formatting, so for a header or a footer, I'd probably use individual text blocks where you might think that multiple cells of a table of a line would be appropriate.

  • Need help to start a partition converted previous physical Machine manually in VMDK

    I had a problem with a HD that was not in a State of health , I was able to make a backup with Acronis Image Home in time. The backup has been partial, the original disc had 4 partition (3 primary and bootable partitions and a logical partition of data only), it was a Boot Manager to boot Windows 7, Windows Vista respectively (2), WindowsXP (3) (1). I made a backup of the W7 partition and the DATA partition.

    I had no need of the old disks of Vista and Windows XP, and that's why I made the partial, not backup to disk backup.

    I want to virtualize the old machine. Using VMware vCenter Converter I could not convert the tib file, it gave error, probably because it was only a partial backup of the first and the last partition.

    So I have chosen to follow a different path, I mounted the TIB file, which has mounted the two partitions as separate discs, then using Backup of EASE, I made a backup of the first partition (Windows 7) and converted to the VMDK image using VDDK 5.1

    Now, I created a 9 VMX (Using VMWARE) Workstation, which asked me to convert the VMDK in version 9.0 (I said NO). I also converts the data partition later.

    . Starting the virtual machine, he started for the Boot Manager, but obviously it does not work, no matter what boot option I chose I get this error:

    Status: 0xc000000e

    Info: The boot selection failed because a required device is not accessible.

    If I remember well using VMware converter, the software takes care of the conversion of the machine as well as pilots of controller used when the machine has been installed on the real hardware.

    Now, I need solve this problem and I need advice to do all the steps safe and functional without worries.

    Priming for sure and partition table sector must be updated to reflect a disc with only a partition and must also solve the problem of all the drivers installed in the system that could give a problem.

    I have the installation DVD of Windows 7 has tried to fix the trunk then now, it identifies and the main C: Partition successfully deleted other references of boot partition. The system seem to start but I got a BSOD:

    Status: 0x0000007B

    I think that the problem is related to IDE drivers or something, how do I fix this problem?

    Relok.

    Sorry - I'm in a hurry and don't have time for lengthy explanations.
