The easiest way to measure item? Sizeless items!

Hi, what is the easiest way to measure the elements of background photos-size, when you work with the expansion of the elements with no size.

For example, a form that had a certain size because of para elements in it, but has no actual size. How do you find the size for the background of this element without using a calculator and sovereign guides?

Thank you!

You ask the wrong questions.  Height is an unknown variable because people can (and do) change the default text size in browsers (zoom, size of text only) Ctrl +++.

Height being a restriction in all browsers (except IE), it should never be applied to containers with text or shapes in them. The best way to add a background image to a container of text or form is with slices of the image.  See the following tutorial:

  • The easiest way to combine into a single PDF file PDF documents

    Hello

    I'm familiar in how to combine several PDF files into a single PDF document in Acrobat Pro, but I would like that the best way to combine the files using attachment links that will direct you to the PDF file.

    If you dealt with 100 of those applications a week, it can be daunting to have to create manually all the time. The term of this document seems to be the Bible of the Documents.

    If anyone has some easy ways to achieve this, it would be great.

    Thank you.

    Kind regards

  • What is the easiest way to convert to the format of a page?

    I have a big file configured as facing pages with master pages with different margins. If I want to change if I need to print is more output 2-sided but rather 1-side, what is the best way to change the file? Do I just delete one of the master pages and reset the margins?

    Configuration of Document... file and uncheck pages face to face (and which allows the adjustment of the layout first would be a good idea). The file is not connected to the one it will use only the right part of any master of two pages.

  • The easiest way to make a dynamic text

    Hello!

    What would be the best way to make a dynamic text and objects in your web site built in CF?

    I know that CF is not developer tool, and I probably have to use Flash Builder.

    I had a lot of demand for making web pages with parts that customers spend on their own.

    For example, they update the news on the page, etc.

    I probably didn't do any dynamic page.

    But what would be the best way to make an easy dynamic object on my site?

    Would be nice if I can solve this problem without using the database or a content management system.

    I know this question might not be directly related to CF, but as a designer I think that you guys can help me better.

    (Or at least push towards the right direction. )

    Hi SupraJohde,

    Flex can talk to any back-end, you decide to use, and it supports a variety of different data formats right out of the box.  Here's a good tutorial to get started (note that since this is Flex 3, there may be some slight differences in Flex 4, version difthe which creates of catalyst).  Here is a more advanced, database-driven tutorial (it's Flex 4 beta 1, once again, there may be slight changes).

    I can't tell you whether it is better to use a CMS vs one databcase vs another thing on the backend.  It's maybe a better question for another forum :-)  If you are looking for the simplest solution possible, I suggest to put some XML files on the server and extract the content of those (see first tutorial link above).  Your customers can then simply update the XML content files.

  • The best way to transfer items from the old to the new mac?

    I don't want to transfer the 'bad things' of my old macbook pro to my new macbook air.

    I understand how to transfer my whole system, but which would also take the old stuff I want to leave behind.  You are addressing a model here, so that's why I'd like my new mac to not be infiltrated by bad things.  I cleaned as best as I can on my old mac.

    I think that I can choose what to take charge using a different method.  I discovered only where are my emails.  Use this as an example, do you think that it a bad idea for me to decide what to transfer?  I'd hate to lose points.  I really need to transfer all my word documents and software I use, for example, my family ancestry tree software.  Apart from the word, my tree (which has been downloaded using a disc), software emails, I can leave behind everything else.  Please give me your impressions.

    I suggest that you use the Migration Wizard. You might find this article helpful: move your content to a new Mac - Apple Support

  • The easiest way to add several single-task in a new task of multiple channels

    Hi all users of LV!

    I've created several single tasks in MAX. To simplify things, we will assume that they are all of the same type (analog current - voltage). In addition, each task is characterized by specific properties such as the custom scale, the final value of configuration, max, and min, etc..

    I ask you to show me (if it exists) a simple way to add programmatically (merge) all of these channels in a multichannel new task, now clearly all the specific properties that I mentioned earlier. For 'simple', I mean fast, which is not need too much coding and reduce as much as possible the use of knots of property for these specific properties (see photo).

    Thank you in advance!

    Marco

    aRCo wrote:

    Infact, in this case, my colleague tasks needs to make acquisitions directly in MAX in order to validate the hardware and with virtual tracks overall is not possible, see that a global virtual channel does not have the ability to set the frequency of acquisition and other functions. Furthermore, I can't change all of a sudden the situation and the way that someone else works.

    Then he makes a task using the global chain.  Then you can reuse the channels!

    But it could work for you by creating global channels that you currently have.
