Difficulties with templates and CSS in DW CS3

I'm having difficulty with CS3 and templates.
I started a new site. I created an HTML file (with CSS for
some formatting - colors and margins) and made a template from the
HTML file, creating one editable region (plus the default two of
the page title and the additional area in the header). I then
created my site HTML files from this new template. When I tried
updating the template, I got an error that I had nested editable
regions in the HTML files. I checked the template, and I don't. I
checked the HTML files and I did see two </body> tags at the
end.
I started over. I updated my starting file and made a new
template, overwriting my old one. I created new files from the new
template. Although the HTML files display fine in the browsers,
when I try to view them in Design View, this round DW doesn't
render them with the CSS, and it did the first time.
What's going on, and can I get it to stop?
Thanks!

I use File>New...>Page from Template, select the
template, go to editable region, add my content, then save the
result as an HTML file. Same as I've done lots of times. The Update
page when template changes checkbox is checked.

  • Problem with template and ie

    I'm running through a weirg problem here. I've designed my webpage and everything worked fine in chrome , firefox and explorer 8. So I saved it as a template and created a basic page with it (normal html/css here, very simple). The probleme is that now, everything is messed up but only in explorer (page not centered, big empty space added somewhere). And then, when I remove the editable regions markers ( <!-- TemplateBeginEditable name="head" --> <!-- TemplateEndEditable --> ...) and save it back as a normal html page without templates, it is working fine again.
    Can someone help me please?
    Thanks!

  • Working with Templates and Automatic Code Changes

    I am working in DW CS6.
    I am creating a new page based on a template and when DW creates the new page, it is automatically changing the paths to the links to .css and .js files.  These changes are breaking the template.  Is there a way to keep the auto-changes from occurring?
    BTW - All the pages were created with a different template and I was able to modify the pages and apply this template to those pages without a problem.  All is beautiful. 
    Original Code in the Template:
    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
    <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
    <head>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />

    Code once I create a page using the template:

    Always set site links to "Document" unless you NEED "Site Root". If you don't know whether you need them, then you don't need them. When you understand that you need them and why you need them, then you can use "Site Root"!
    Good advice.

  • SWF with xml and css to flv format..need help

    I have slideshow that is your typical stand alone .swf with accompanying .xml and .css configuration files along with a folder for the images. I don't have the .fla
    I need to flatten this or merge it all together to create an flv. Is this possible and if so how do I do this?
    Because this is a client I can't just re-create another slide show..it needs to be exactly the same. For me to redo it entirely in fla would be so very time consuming as the slides have 2-3 different effects each and to get the timing exactly right would be near impossible.
    I hope someone has a magical solution for me.

    Actually Rob, right after posting I came across a post mentioning screen
    recorders and tried 5 of them. However, I am either not using the right
    settings or the progs I tried weren't good enough cause all of them have
    some freeze and jump during recording and the vids don't come out smooth. I
    think this may be because although they allow you to set frames per seconds
    for recording, they all vary that setting during the actual recording. I can
    see the frames per second going from 18 to 12. I am not really experienced
    in video.
    Here's the list of those I tried: CamStudio, Free screen recorder, BB
    Flashback2 express, BSR screen recorder 4 and ZealSoft.
    If you happen to know of a really good one or what the right settings might
    be I'd be glad to hear it.
    By the way, so far, you seem to be the only one who got my question
    right..all other replies I got from varying forums tell me to google swf
    converters.
    Thanks bud.

  • Template and CSS issue

    I've been asked to keep a new website (template) updated. Many people before I did, were responsible for this website. There are much problems to solve. I replaced the website into Dreamweaver, but I can't change the origin CSS Stylesheet. I tried to make a new stylesheet, but by refreshing the website, the former CSS is showing up again. And the changes I made are gone.
    I tried to change the CSS directly into de index.php. Same here.
    I'am a newbie. Please can I get a tip or trick so I can change the CSS into the sheet I want.
    Sorry for my English and thanks in advance.

    Before you go any further make sure that you're not viewing a cached version of the web page in the browser. This could be a reason why the new css styles are not showing up.
    If that is not the case then how are you trying to attach the new css styesheet? You say you are working with a 'template'? The master template is a file which has a .dwt extention, not .html or .php extention. Have you got one of those?
    What happens when you look at code view in the index.php file. Do you see lots of greyed out code which you cannot select?

  • Problems with template and page links..

    Hello community!
    I'm pretty new to dreamweaver Cs4 and am having a slight problem. I have my template.dwt file and 5 other pages which use this template layout. However when I preview my website in my browser, the template.dwt file links to all the pages, however when I click on another link (a page link) once on this page, the hyperlinks from the navigation cant be clicked. In other words the navigation turns into just text and no hyperlinks.
    I want to be able to click on any page on my website using the navigation bar, so i can go back and forth onto pages all over my website using my navigation.
    Anyone know what to do or a solution to allow me to have all the links working from the template
    Thanks

    You are being confused by a) not understanding root relative vs document
    relative links, and b) not understanding how DW previews files.
    If I have a document with a link to an image that looks like this -
    <img src="/images/foo.gif"...
    That's what's called a root relative link.
    If I preview that document in DW, then the browser gets the document, sees
    the leading "/" and reads that as the root of the hard drive, since the
    browser has no idea where the root of the site is.  Thus, the image is
    broken in the preview.
    If I have temp files enabled, then DW will secretly convert the file being
    previewed into a temporary file, and hand that to the browser.  This temp
    file has had all root relative links converted to document relative links
    (as you will see by looking at the code in the browser), and has had all
    include files actually embedded in the page, and has had all external CSS
    and js markup embedded in the page.  In other words, DW has made the
    document into a stand-alone page.
    If you do not have temp files enabled, all of these links would be broken on
    preview.
    Now - if you are using root relative links, AND you have temp files enabled,
    AND you click away from the previewed document, then all of your links will
    be broken, since DW has not made that linked file into a temp file.  This is
    what you are seeing.
    So - if you want to click away on preview, then you must use document
    relative links for the site -
    <img src="../images/foo.gif"... (for example)
    These will still work on preview since the browser knows how to determine
    the current file's location and how to follow that path.

  • Video quality difficulties with Vimeo and Youtube sites and with smart phone

    Ever since the Vimeo and Youtube sites have changed, it has been pretty difficult to get the video quality I had before. I'm using Final Cut Express to edit, Quicktime Player to resize the video to 640x480 (is too wide when saving FCE project as Quicktime movie), and Jes Deinterlacer to remove all of the jaggies that the original deinterlacing on FCE doesn't fully do (skateboarding video). I'm aware Final Cut Express 4 is a discontinued product, and Apple support over the phone can't help me. The quality is TERRIBLE on my smart phone, and used to be really good before the site changed. The Vimeo app played my videos very clear. I'm using a MyTouch smart phone. I want to know if the quality being bad on mobile is because of the sites being changed, and if there is anything I can do to get the quality I want. I've worked on this the past three weeks, and this is my final option, so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Here are the steps I'm using to export (still trying more export options in Jes Deinterlacer).
    Step 1: In FCE, click "File", "Export", "Quicktime Movie". In "Include:", choose "Audio and Video", "All Markers" for "Markers:", and check box "Make Movie Self-Contained".
    Step 2: Open file in QT Player. Click "Window" (at the top between "View" and "Help"), and choose "Show Movie Properties". Click "Video Track", and click "Visual Settings". Change the dimensions (which are supposed to be 720x480 4:3 but the video is stretched). Enter "640 x 480" for "Scaled Size:", then same with "Offset:" Keep "Preserve Aspect Ratio" unchecked, then when finished entering numbers check it (doesn't let you uncheck it which would be best). Check the "High Quality" box if it hasn't already been checked. Close the window, and click "File", and then "Save".
    Step 3: Open file in Jes Deinterlacer. In "Input", check box "Reinterlace Chroma", choose "Video range", and check "Remove Jaggies". For "Project", choose "Deinterlace" and "Use Bottom Field". Check "Adaptive", "Local", and "Filter Chroma". In "Output", choose "Video range". Choose "Export", and "Mpeg-4". For "File Format:" choose "MP4", for "Video Format:" choose "H.264", and for "Data Rate:" enter "2000" for "kbits/sec". Leave "Optimized for:" "Download" as is. Choose "640x480 VGA" for "Image Size:", and "Current" for "Frame Rate:". For "Key Frame:" choose "Every", and enter "24" for "frames". Click "Video Options". Leave the "Main" box checked, and check "Baseline" for "Restrict Profile(s) to:". Choose "Best Quality (Multi-pass)" for "Encoding Mode:". Click "Ok". Click "Audio" (since done with "Video"). For "Audio Format:" choose "AAC-LC (Music), for "Data Rate:" choose "320 kbps", for "Channels:" leave as "Stereo", for "Output Sample Rate:" choose "44.100 kHz", and for "Encoding Quality:" choose "Best". Click "Ok" (leave "Streaming" alone).

    First, I would do a Search on this forum for "FRAPS." There are several articles with comments on the best workflow and also settings for Import and for Export.
    Next, YouTube is trobulesome. First, they re-encode everything and their specs seem to change weekly. It's tough to find out what they want on any given day. I'd go to their site and get the very latest instructions and attempt to duplicate those perfectly, knowing that they might be different tomorrow.
    Good luck with this one, and good luck with the FRAPS footage.

  • I'm new with HTML and CSS, need help

    I'm creating a static html webpage for an assignment. Someone suggested to me that I could manually create my webpage using dreamweaver instead of creating it from scratch, which has turned out much easier. However one of the tasks require me to Create a CSS stylesheet to work with my structural HTML. So my question is where is the CSS code inspector (if there is one). Is it possible for me to somehow add this and link it to my HTML?
    Sorry if my question isn't clear, I'm quite new to this and have only a general idea of what I am doing.

    Because the assignment requires me to submit the css and html separately. It means both have to be done is separate  Notepad files (this is where I will paste the code from dreamweaker to submit).
    I'll save the html as hompage.html and the CSS as homepage.css
    So I don't know if I can use option 2.
    My teacher wants to be able to open my css and amend it so that all her amendments actually work with my html.
    So lets say this is my html that I copy from dreaweavers inspector:
    <html>
    <head>
    <title>Search Engine Title Goes Here</title>
    <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="hompage.css">
    </head>
    <body>
    <div id="container"> </div>
    <div id="header"> Header Goes Here</div>
    <div id="sidebar"> Left Navigation Goes Here</div>
    <div id="content"> <p>Content Goes Here</p></div>
    <div id="footer"> Footer Goes Here </div>
    </body>
    </html>
    How would I write my css, would it be like this? (assume this is my homepage.css file):
    body {background: #ffffff; margin: 0; padding: 0;}
    a {color: #2b2bf6;}          
    #container {width: 900px; margin: 0; padding: 0; background: #dddddd;}          
    #header {width: 900px; height: 150px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border: 0; background: #f346e1;}          
    #sidebar {width: 200px; height: 400px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border: 0; float: left; background: #f0e811;}          
    #content {width: 700px; height: 400px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border: 0; float: left; background: #8be0ef;}          
    #footer {width: 900px; height: 70px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border: 0; float: left; background: #000000; clear:both;}                           
    I saw this example on the internet, would this work?

  • Line-height not working with flash and css

    I'm using dynamic text in Flash with CSS, but line-height
    doesn't seem to be working with. Is it supported? If not, what is a
    work around to get my text to look they way I want?

    I believe this is due to a corrupt file in your profile. You can confirm this if you create a new temporary Firefox profile ([http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Managing+profiles managing profiles]) and if the problem disappears.
    To fix this problem (hopefully), do this:
    - access ''about:support'' in your location bar
    - click ''Open Containing Folder''
    - close Firefox
    - delete the file ''downloads.sqlite'' (send it to the recycle bin, if, for any reason, you want to get it back later)
    - start Firefox
    Now the problem should be solved. I believe it's simply a matter of this file having become corrupt. For whatever reason. It's really unfortunate, but I hope this fixes the issue.

  • Nokia E6 and difficulties with 2G and 3G connectio...

    Hi,
    I have Nokia E6 with Nokia Belle Refresh newest version 111.140.0058
    I live in Helsinki. My summer cottage is in Mikkeli. Both my house and my summer cottage are in an area where phone network connection changes between 3G and 2G regularly. This is problem with E6. Always when network connection changes from 3G to 2G and I have an open phone discussion my phone either stops the connection totally or I can hear the one who I am speaking with but that person cannot hear me. This is discusting. And what is even more problematic, in my summer cottage where 3G is weak, the connection always changes to 2G after I start calling to someone. I.e it is very difficult to call there.
    It did took me a long while to identify the problem why my calls are ending but now I am convinced this is the reason. I think this is bug in software. I hope Nokia could still do something with the bug when there still are working someone who know symbian.

    In settings, connectivity, network, change the network mode to either gsm or 3G, look for better signal one, don't select dual mode.
    Hope this helps.
