Advice on Dreamweaver CS5.5

I have spent 35 minutes attempting to purchase Dreamweaver CS5.5 from the Adobe site. The main page would not allow a change of country from USA and when I found an Australian download page Dreamweaver CS5.5 was not listed. I used the 'Send an email" option without success.
Please advise my best next move.
Many thanks,
Robin Chapple

Hi
Adobe has never allowed the correct exchange rate to be applied to product purchases outside the US, and it is one of the major reason that many people outside the US look for alternatives, (even microsoft stopped this type of policy years ago), and if you look at the UK purchase site, downloads cost more than the boxed version!
Macromedia did allow the correct exchange rate to be applied when one purchase from their site, so in my opinion this is just an Adobe profiteering scam, But that's just my opinion.

Dreamweaver CS5.5 not displaying fonts correctly in live view

I've integrated some web fonts into my website, which display properly in every browser on my computer (and more importantly) on on other computers properly; strangely enough, Dreamweaver CS5.5's live view doesn't display them as they should be displayed. The font Raleway is displayed as Times New Roman, and League Gothic as Helvetica. Stranger still, Ubuntu, which I use for my <body> element in general, works fine in all weights and styles. Any advice on how to get the other fonts to work properly?

The code for Exo is simply a link in the <head> element to Google Web Fonts; <link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Exo:100,200,300,400,500,600,700,800,900,400italic' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>
Same goes for Open Sans Condensed (sorry, I confused it with League Gothic in earlier comments): <link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans+Condensed:700' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>
The code for Raleway, Ubuntu and Museo is here:
@font-face {

As you can see, these do reference TTF fonts on my remote server, as well as in my local folder (which mirrors my remote server, obviously).

I need help Centering a div box to a background image using dreamweaver cs5.5. Everything shift left when viewing on different size monitors? See what I mean at
www.woodlandhospice.com

Have you looked at your page with images disabled?
I urge you to re-think this approach to web design because images of text are not indexed by search engines, screen readers or translators. Given the demographic group your site is targeting, you really need to ensure maximum web accessibility for all users.
Navigation, headings and descriptions all need to be in real text -- not images of text.
Ken is right. Absolute positioning is pure poison for such a simple layout. My advice is to start over with one of the pre-built Starter Pages in DW. Go to File > New > Blank page > HTML. Select a layout from the 3rd column and hit CREATE button.

Drop-down menu in Dreamweaver CS5.5 not displaying

Thanks for anyone's help. I'm a first time user of the forum so please excuse any protocol errors.
I can't get my drop-down menu to display on my web page (http://www.cglcontracting.com/) on a Windows platform using Dreamweaver CS5.5.
Thanks very much for any advice/help.

Hi again -
My previous suggestion did not seem to make any difference, the CSS still did not validate.
I seems to be choking on your Browser Hack section.

Need help importing files into Dreamweaver CS5.5

Greetings,
Currently I have website that is hosted on GoDaddy.com http://www.4thdist.org/home.php . This site was created by another person that is not available to help with my problem. I am attempting to modify or edit this website using Dreamweaver CS5.5 and having difficulties loading the files into Dreamweaver.
First, using Filezilla I downloaded all the files and folders to my PC. At this point, I am stuck and cannot figure out how to upload or open the files and really need some advice. I read the Adobe help section on "importing" and it describes a .ste file. I searched the download folder and cannot find any file (*.ste)
I am hoping to salvage the site and not have to reinvent the wheel and start over. Any advice would be extrmely helpful........Gary

Thanks for the quick reply.
Your comments raised some new questions. Let me update all on where I am. First, I am able to connect to GoDaddy server via the the local and remote views in the bottom right corner of DW. I see the file folder structure on GoDaddy. I can also see the file structure on my local hardrive that I copied using filezilla. Although, using the server connection I notice that I can download the files using this connection now. Should I delete what I did via filezilla and start over using the romote server connection? One more problem. I have content for two (2) websites on the remote server. http://www.vfwstatepoolleague.org/ This is in addition to the listed in my original post. Although, it appears the other website content is in a seperate folder. I assume that I will need to separtate this content somehow. At least link to it when I begin to start to create a .ste file for each site.
I started to read the article "Creating your first website"in your post and should be very helpful. I did run into a little road block.
I created (2) site names and linked to the appropriate folder on my hard drive. Although, I do not have: "check_cs5" folder on my local or remote folder. What does that mean? Should I create one?

Can you access popup menus in behaviours window in Dreamweaver CS5?

I was wondering if you can still edit popup menus in dreamweaver CS5?
If not what is a good addon to create dropdown menus for an image.
Thanks.

If you were previously using those pathetic MM-Rollover menus from a previous version of DW, you need to replace them ASAP. They don't work.
Here's why MM Rollover Menus Suck
http://losingfight.com/blog/2006/08/12/the-sordid-tale-of-mm_menufw_menujs/
Best advice, buy a good menu from Project Seven
http://projectseven.com/products/menusystems/pmm3/index.htm
Or use a jQuery Menu

New to Dreamweaver CS5, from FP2003

HELP! I'm new to Dreamweaver CS5, still learning my way around. I have an existing site built with FrontPage 2003, which I have imported and have played around with through DW.
However, I'm lost without my WYSIWYG editing options. I've read through the forums and obviously I'll need to rebuild my forms and my shared borders, but HOW, exactly? I'm somewhat familiar with HTML, but not as much with CSS...
Any tips and step-by-step advice is greatly appreciated!
Jill

I think you will have a big job ahead of you. DW is about as different from FP as it's possible to be, both in terms of general approach to using it and in terms of the quality of output. Do you have the space to spend a few weeks learning HTML and CSS before starting to work on this?

Opening Fireworks from Dreamweaver CS5

I am trying to open Fireworks CS5 from within Dreamweaver CS5.
When I do I get an error message that says that "Fireworks is unable to be launched or an error has occured"
I am running Windows 7 Pro 64 bit system.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
When I originally tried to open Fireworks (either directly or from Dreamweaver) I got the following message:
"Your user privileges do not allow Fireworks to update your registry. Launch and Edit with Dreamweaver will not work properly unitl Fireworks is launched while using Administrative privileges."
I got the following advice - Try right-clicking on the Fireworks.exe icon, then select 'Properties', select 'Compatibility' and then under the section 'Privilege Level', put a tick in the box 'Run this program as administrator'.
I have done what was suggested but now every time I open Fireworks I get the same Windows User Account Control message as follows:
"Do you want to allow the following program to make changes to this computer" - Program name Fireworks. When I say yes the program opens OK.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
By the way everything works OK on my laptop running a Windows XP Pro 32 bit system.

Further to previous posting the error message I get when I try to launch Fireworks from Dreamweaver is:
"C:\Program Files\(x86)\Adobe\Adobe Fireworks CS5\Fireworks.exe
Please be sure that this aplication exists and that there is enough memory to run it."
Photoshop launches OK from Dreamweaver. Fireworks is the default image application.

Dreamweaver CS5 on Lion Opens but then won't work

I'm using Dreamweaver CS5 with Lion 10.7.2 on a new iMac 3.4 GHz Intel Core i7. I've had the machine about 2 weeks and Dreamweaver worked fine. Yesterday what happened was that I can launch the program but cannot use it. Anytime I click any menu item in the program like the file menu or help menu I get a spining ball. I can't open files in Dreamwever from outside or inside it. I can't do anything at all in Dreamweaver. I wait a long time and the spinning ball doesn't stop. I didn't do anything new except add ram to the computer and the ram works fine and shows up in "about this Mac" and has caused no problems. This Dreamweaver is a part of CS5 Web Premium and whatever the problem is it has not effected Photoshop CS5. In fact I have no problems anywhere else on my computer except for Dreamweaver.
I've tried the following solutions that I saw in these and other forums and nothing works:
1) in Dreamweaver preferences changed the following:
[REMOTE DOWNLOAD]
remotedownloadcachesize=50
remotedownloadallow=TRUE
to
[REMOTE DOWNLOAD]
remotedownloadcachesize=50
remotedownloadallow=TRUE
resolveremoteurltoipaddress=FALSE
That didn't work so I changed it back.
2) repaired disk permission on my hard disk from disk utilities, then verified the hard disk and it was ok, restarted various times.
3) tried replacing preferences and app support from previous days in time machine when it work but no change.
4) deledted com.adobe.Dreamweaver.11.plist from preferences. That didn't work so put it back
5) checked and remade permisions for user at ~/library/application support/adobe/dreamweaver cs5 but the permissions were already at read & write
6) renamed ~/library/application support/adobe/dreamweaver cs5 folder and restarted Dreamweaver
7) renamed ~/library/application support/adobe/dreamweaver cs5/en_US/Configuration and restarted Dreamweaver
8) deleted ~/library/application support/adobe/dreamweaver cs5 and restarted Dreamweaver
9) uninstalled Dreamweaver using Dreamweaver's uninstall app and reinstalled it from my disk and updated it.
10) tried using Dreamweaver from a different user login and it worked, but I need it to work in THIS login. I can find no way that this user is corrupt.
I hope someone has an idea of what to do.

New info. My husband just installed the older version of Firefox, and it is also not responding. Again without ever seeing a request for a response from him.

Downloading and editing an existing WordPress site in Dreamweaver CS5.

Hello! New to the forums, here.
I'll try to be brief. I've got a WordPress site in-place at metalmeter.com that is hosted through HostGator. Basically, what I'm looking to do is get the site from the remote server and edit it in Dreamweaver CS5, previewing all changes on a local testing server before putting the updated contents back on the remote server.
Now, let me be clear: I've tried plenty of the tutorials. I've watched hours of videos. I still can't get it configured properly. I've got the FTP connection to the remote server running smoothly. I've got XAMPP installed. I'm having difficulties (and I apologize for being vague), and I just don't know where the problem is located. In my htdocs folder for XAMPP, I've got two subfolders 'metalmeter' for the remote server's downloaded contents, and 'wordpress' for the wordpress installation that every page seems to be pointing me toward. What confuses me is that when I try and open the uppermost index.php file on the remote server, the dynamically discovered content is not being displayed in the live view with my local testing server. I want to be viewing my existing WordPress site in its entirety exactly as I see it online while I'm editing it, and then pushing back updated files to the /public_html/ root directory of the remote server so that I can edit the site from my local client. I'm extremely new to Dreamweaver, so any help you could offer would be greatly appreciated.
If you know how to do exactly what I'm trying to do and have been successfully viewing and editing your existing WordPress site in Dreamweaver for upload, please take some time to explain the set-up. I'd be forever in your debt!

I've been following this discussion for a while now and I don't understand why you hope to edit articles from DW. That's what the WP Admin panel is specifically designed for. Besides, you won't find your articles in any of the site files because they don't exist there.
I agree I don't see any reason to want to edit a Wordpress site in Dreamweaver. If you are using Wordpress then you may as well put Dreamweaver in the bin. Although people do actually want to edit and manipulate the design in Dreamweaver (including myself) and from what I've read its possible but I've never found a source which explains fully how to achieve this and those that I have it seems too much effort to even bother about.
I guess the Dreamweaver environment feels more like home and is more user friendly.
To put it another way, a typical WordPress installation contains around 800 files in some 80 folders. Those files don't contain any content, just a whole lot of PHP code. In fact, the only page most people ever see on your site is the index.php page which is dynamically created over & over by the server with content from the MySql and various include files.
For sure and that's why people who use Dreamweaver and feel the need to manipulate a Wordpress site in Dreamweaver because Wordpress is 'in vogue' get lost. Wordpress just containes a lot of pages with nothing to see apart from some php, many of who will not understand one jot.
Unless you're a coding guru, you should definitely NOT touch any of the core WP files as this could cripple your site. If you want to customize your Theme, look at the CSS and include files in your Themes folder. See Anatomy of a WordPress Theme:http://yoast.com/wordpress-theme-anatomy/
lol your not wrong there!
For a quick tip on Theming, open your remote site in Firefox equipped with the 'Web Developer Toolbar'. Edit CSS on screen. Save changes to your local site and upload it to the remote server. No testing server required.
Wordpress is Wordpress and Dreamweaver is Dreameaver. As far as I can make out the two don't mix.
Ideally you would just choose a Wordpress theme which most relates to the nice site you have designed in Fireworks of which you won't find any however goodthe themes are. Then manipulate the themes css that's if you can understand it. Even for a seasoned css expert its heavy going because everyone produces css differently to achieve the same results.
Leave Wordpress well anlone unles you're going to use it out of the box so to speak or as a web-developer don't mind a bit of reverse engineering.

Tutorial Dreamweaver Cs5.5 The Missing Manual (Pg 998 - 1018) about adding dynamic data to your page

Hallo,
I did Tutorial: Displaying Database Info in the Missing Manual for Dreamweaver CS5.5.
My problem is with "Editing a Recordset and Linking to a Detail Page" (which starts at pg 1002:
I did this exercise ,over 5 times nowe, but every time with "Building the Detailed Product Page" at pg 1007, I get a bad result.
I only get one page (the default one with productID = 1) for every link on the indexpage.
In the adressbar (Live View) I see the right adress: for example: http://localhost/cos...hp?productID=16, but for all productID's only the detailspage for productID are shown.
There is also a message: Notice: Use of undefined constant ‘productID’ - assumed '‘productID’' in E:\xampp\htdocs\cosmo_shop\product.php on line 34
But I don't understand what could be wrong in this line.
Here is the code lines 33 -48: is is about the second line:
$varProduct_rsDetails = "32";
if (isset($_GET[‘productID’])) {
$varProduct_rsDetails = $_GET[‘productID’];
mysql_select_db($database_connCosmo, $connCosmo);
$query_rsDetails = sprintf("SELECT products.productID, products.productName, products.price, products.`description`, products.inventory, products.image, vendors.vendorName FROM products, vendors WHERE products.vendorID = vendors.vendorID AND products.productID = %s ", GetSQLValueString($varProduct_rsDetails, "int"));
$rsDetails = mysql_query($query_rsDetails, $connCosmo) or die(mysql_error());
$row_rsDetails = mysql_fetch_assoc($rsDetails);
$totalRows_rsDetails = mysql_num_rows($rsDetails);
mysql_select_db($database_connCosmo, $connCosmo);
$query_rsCategories = "SELECT * FROM categories ORDER BY categoryName ASC";
$rsCategories = mysql_query($query_rsCategories, $connCosmo) or die(mysql_error());
$row_rsCategories = mysql_fetch_assoc($rsCategories);
$totalRows_rsCategories = mysql_num_rows($rsCategories);
?>
Can someone tell me what is going on here?
Kind regards, Ans Hekerman

I can manually type in double brackets, like this:
$varProduct_rsDetails = "1";
if (isset($_GET["productID"])) {
$varProduct_rsDetails = $_GET["productID"];
this is accepted; no syntax-error report.
I can manually type in single brackets, like this:
$varProduct_rsDetails = "1";
if (isset($_GET['productID'])) {
$varProduct_rsDetails = $_GET['productID'];
this is also accepted; no syntax-error report.
Dreamweaver itself made this code:
$varProduct_rsDetails = "32";
if (isset($_GET[‘productID’])) {
$varProduct_rsDetails = $_GET[‘productID’];
this was not OK; there was a syntax-error report.
But strange enough, when I do paste this now from here, it is accepted.
So the problem has been, that DW created code that gave a syntax error.
I could repair it by replacing the single qoutes of DW, by typing single quotes in DW manually, or by typing in in DW manually double qoutes!!!
So maybe everybode was right!!!
But is was a very bad problem; maybe a "bug" of the program?
I repeated this about 10 times before I got the solution frome this Forum.

Dreamweaver cs5 problems and adobe support close the case on you

I emailed Adobe support with the message below and they closed the case on me and told me to go over to the developers connection website and open a case there. Well of course there is no where to open a case there, it brings you back to the normal support pages, so I opened a case again!
This is just one of the flaws in Cs5 I've found from intensive useage yesterday.
1. Hangs for nearly 2 minutes if you use an external link to ny file like jquery in the header of the pages - detailed below
2. Sometimes when selecting a related file it says "not on server" and actually tries to open ANOTHER ftp connection listed. It switches connection and then says"not on server" - well of course not....because it just changed to another server! However many time you change it back, it won't have it.
3. The pop up css is a good idea but not well thought out. I have to right click to get inspect but when I roll over the areas it doesn't show the css in the css panel. If I right click and select to show the code, it shows me the css, I then have to click it to select it in the left column. All very long winded... WHY NOT JUST CLICK AN AEA ON THE LIVE VIEW PAGE AND IT SHOWS THE CSS THERE INSTANTLY TO EDIT?!
4. On first open after a quit and relaunch, or restart, switching from normal view to live view hangs Dreamweaver for over a minute before live view is displayed.
Very very buggy and I feel I have paid for a beta version.
Hello I now have Dreamweaver CS5.
It has MAJOR flaw.
If a webpage contains the code
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.4.2.min.js"></script>#
It takes over 1 minute to open each page after launching
This is caused by the 'related files' facility
THIS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE in software which is this expensive.
All design companies such as us use jquery.
Please fix this flaw asap or supply me with a fix. Turning of related files
helps but if I was to do that what would be the point in
having that facility? (which I am paying for!)

Hi,
Appreciate your reply and accept what you say, I'll take on board the suggestions.
My answers under yours below
Second, the Bug Report form is here: https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform . Technical support is not a bug reporting center, nor are they developers which is why they probably closed your case. And there really are not any questions in your support request it reads like a bug report and an angry one at that, not even starting out calm, shouting almost immediately.
- Frustration, I've been up all night, hours messing with it.
Thanks for the link, I'll post to that. I personally don't agree that bugs this big should be present in software of such high upgrade fee's and which should have been tested but I guess we all know its the way of the world now.
1. Why are you working with remote website files that are not part of your domain and not in your local site? This is a bad practice to get in the habit of. If their website shuts down, so does the functionality of yours. Many here will argue that point.
- This is a valid point I've come across before and reading up on it I found it was said that the site in question was on cloud servers, mirrored etc. The link I posted was from someone elses post who was having a similar problem. I personally use the flowplay/jquery main link which has ALL the jquery plugins/effects so whatever is used on that page works.
http://cdn.jquerytools.org/1.1.2/full/jquery.tools.min.js
We did this as it seemed that was what everyone was doing, it seems I am wrong and I take on board your comments about downloading the file.
2. "Sometimes". That is the key word in your statement. Sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn't. What happens when it says "Sometimes not on server" and what happens in the other times. What's different? It's usually hard to believe it's random luck. But developers in a bug report need to know these things. What's different about the file(s)? Is it with certain file(s), type(s), etc? How would it open another FTP connection, do you have multiple FTP locations defined within one site definition?
I probably used the wrong word in 'sometimes' - A better description would be "some of the related files". When live view is on the right and code on the left, related files across the top. If I hover my mouse over the files, it tells me where they are. This info is incorrect on 'some' of the files, not all of them but about 8 out of 10.
It shows the file as being in the folder of another account in the site defs, but its not in there, it's in the one I'm working on (and which is live in the ftp file window). So if I click on the file to view it, it says its not available, and asks if I want to download it from the server. That doesn't work because it then tries to switch the ftp connection to the other site and download.
I thought it was muddled so I removed all the ftp sites and set up just one, the one I was working on. But that didn't work... it then thinks the related files are in "unnamed site 1" - anywhere but looking in its own folder or on its own ftp server!
4. You seem to be referring to Question #1 here so that is answered.
"Please fix this flaw asap or supply me with a fix." - So you are saying Please fix this flaw with a patch or give me the patch. Again, this sounds like you want to file a bug report and not create a support request.
- Accepted, you are right, its a bug report, just they directed me to the developer website and I kept ending up here, so began to believe this is where I should be posting.
"All design companies such as us use jquery". - While I wouldn't be so quick to say all, but rather most, I would say see my answer to #1. Why make your site dependent on someone else's?
- Accepted, I appreciate your honest comments and critism and fot taking the time to reply :-)

How do I set up a 2 column fixed, left sidebar... in CC Dreamweaver based on one of the 16 samples in Dreamweaver CS5?

I am in Graphic Design school and we are studying Dreamweaver CS5. One of the projects is to create a new page based on one of the 16 samples available which is the 2 column, fixed, left sidebar, header and footer option.
However, in CC Dreamweaver, I only see the 2 column, fixed, right sidebar option.

Change line 62 to
float: left;

How do I change an image border color to another color - Dreamweaver CS5?

Good day,
I have just learned how to add a border to an image with Dreamweaver CS5 within the Properties Inspector.
After typing the width in pixels in the Border Text Field and pressing the Enter key, Dreamweaver created a black border.
How do I change the image border color to another color?

I added your suggested rule to the Style Sheet "in any order" as you explained. See the image below.
However this did not change the image border from black to light blue. In fact, nothing changed.
Nothing changed because the CSS that has been written into DW is incorrectly written.
You want the following (exactly as written below)
img {border: 4px solid #0062C8;}
You've inadvertently wrapped the rule inside a #main_image container rendering it meaningless.
It's easiest to go into Code View and change
#main_image {
img {border: 4px solid #0062C8;
to
img { border: 4px solid #0062C8; }
The Property Inspector added a border exactly as I wanted it, other than the color I wanted the border to be. What is the use of this function in Property Inspector if it can add a border within Property Inspector but not let me change the COLOR of the black border that Property Inspector added, to another color?
That's a deceptively simple, yet valid, question with a long answer.
Back in the dark old days of web design web designers were restricted to inline HTML formatting which offered border properties but no colors.
CSS styling offers colors and more but has to be written differently.
These days. it's best to avoid HTML formatting. Unfortunately border="4px" in the PI still allows it. But does not permit color.
Does anyone else out there ever add color borders to their IMAGES (not the containing box for the image) ?
Yes, using CSS.

Dreamweaver CS5.5 hyper link doesn't work

I'm using Dreamweaver CS5.5 with a template. The links in the template work fine.
When I click on a link in the body of the page that uses the template, the hyper link text quickly changes to a very small font and back, but does not go to the link.
This is the page: www.actitservices.com.
This is the code:
<p><strong>Read the <a href="http://www.act.com/media/en-us/docs/briefs/Act%21ProductBrief.pdf" target="_blank">product brief</a>. </strong></p>
I've been doing this for a really long time and I just don't see the problem.
Thanks for your help.

BINGO! That fixed everything!
Thanks huge!
