Frequently Asked Questions

Images

How do I prevent an image from being modified when I assign a different Layout?

Choose Independent Processing from the Object Context menu.

How do I control the ALT text that shows in the browser whenever the mouse cursor rests over an image?

The ALT text is controlled by the ôAlternate Textö descriptor of the individual image.

Text

Why does the browser take slightly longer to load my page, when I use "justify" alignment?

Various browser versions space words and letters quite arbitrary, depending on line length, number of words and HTML tags between or embedded in words. To guarantee the proper appearance, StudioLine does not rely on the browser to format the text but instead positions the words with HTML tables. This can require substantial amounts of extra HTML code, which increases the document size.

What are the implications when using text as graphic?

Graphic images require more disk space and extra transmission time compared to plain text. A page that makes extensive use of text as graphic may take slightly longer to load in the browser. This is becoming less of a concern with the growing availability of high-speed connectivity, such as ISDN, DSL and cable.

Browsers

How relevant are browsers not supported by StudioLine?

StudioLine makes use of advanced DHTML technology such as JavaScript and cascading style sheets. In 2001, about 95% of all Internet users already operate a compatible browser. For the remaining users, updated versions of Netscape, Internet Explorer and Opera are available free of charge. Other browser software account for less than 3% of total website visits.

What unique system identifiers are used by StudioLine?
  1. StudioLine uses Windows GUIDs to identify objects in its database. This is crucial during export/import operations. GUIDs are derived from the network adapters MAC address, which is uniquely assigned by the hardware manufacturer.

  2. During setup, StudioLine generates a hardware-based ID which is used to validate your license.
