if someome could help me it would be greatly
appreciated

Are you talking about the red double arrow?
If so:
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 12px;
background-image: url(images/your_image_here.gif);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
background-position: 2px 15px;
adjust the background-position: to align as you want.

  • Dreamweaver and CSS, Java editing an exsisting website to create your own template.

    HI I am new to Dreamweaver and programming,  but I have found a website that I like create something off of, not copying but utilizing some of its div tag positions and formatting.  When I bring the source into Dreamweaver and start to edit some of the things I want to change, I receive some errors that I’m not sure of how to work around.   For example, I want to extend one of the boxes they created and when I try to change it tells me “unable to open file because it could not be found on your local disk”  You can download the file by using the remote view of the file panels or by selecting the file in the related files toolbars” I believe this file is associated with the CSS.  Basically I’m trying to learn off this website and recreate something completely different but I’m not sure how to allow access or tell Dreamweaver to recognize a CSS from my computer.  Hope you understand, let me know what you think.

    Why not leave it on the page?
    If you want to eliminate it, you could try to replace this -

    It's not suprising that deleting something like that might change the layout of the page.  A well-built web page is very much like a well-built (and intricate) rock wall. Each element of the page somehow depends on the support and presence of each other element.  Remove one and things get kinda crooked....

  • Dreamweaver and CSS display problem

    Hi,
    I am new to CSS layouts and trying to build a site in pure
    CSS but I am having a problem with how it is dispayed within
    dreamweaver.
    here is
    the html page as it looks in a browser
    But
    here is how the page currently looks is dreamweaver
    As you can see, my divs which run along the bottom of the
    page in the browser are actually shown contained in another div in
    dreamweaver which is very misleading!
    Is this due to something i have done or is this how it
    displays in dreamweaver?
    HTML code as follows:
    <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01

    http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">

    and

    Thanks for reading

    FWIW, there were significant rendering improvements made in
    DW8, so it
    may be worth the upgrade if you're creating layouts in DW.
    In the meantime, try adding some content to the bannerlarge
    container. I
    think DW may be incorrectly collapsing that tag since it's
    empty.

  • Table created in Dreamweaver with CSS not positioning correctly

    I've created a simple 9 page website using Dreamweaver and CSS. I am no pro but I can edit some in the code. I'm really enjoying the CSS but for some reason I cannot find out why my tables appear perfect in Firefox but not in Chrome or IE. The tables are centered properly but they appear way below where they're intended to be!
    I've tried to paste my code but can't, is there somewhere I can post it?

    After struggling with this last night I took a look again this morning and narrowed down and corrected the problem. Basically, this is what happened to cause the issue and how I resolved it. Hopefully it helps others in the future.
    Steps
    Create project in Windows version of Cp (I was using version 8.01).
    For my client's requirements, which are quite unique and complex compared to the typical Cp project, custom quiz questions/scoring had to be developed. Since these are HTML5 (non-responsive) courses, and Javascript is the fastest/most efficient way to do this, I used Javascript extensively for quizzes via the 'Execute Javascript' action. So for quiz questions, each answer is simply a smartshape (transparent, with answer text in it) that triggers the 'Execute Javascript' on click. In addition, on many of the quiz slides there are Edge Animate/HTML5 interactions embedded.
    Worked fine on windows upon publish. But when I opened on a new Mac and published, when a question answer was clicked nothing would happen.
    Turns out the problem seems to be with the text in the Javascript window. I think it somehow gets corrupted, though it looks fine. I had to literally delete the javascript, save it, and then copy it back in. Once I did that, it works.
    I've invested too much time in this project so far, so don't want to risk any more major issues popping up like this, so I switched back to Windows and canceled my subscription this morning. Fortunately I have a license from my employer for Windows and will just use that with Boot Camp.

  • HTML 5 and CSS 3 Support In Dreamweaver CS5

    I cannot find any information on this web site about whether and how Dreamweaver CS5 supports HTML 5 and CSS 3. There are lots of other fancy high-end whiz-bang technologies highlighted in CS5, but without support for HTML 5 and CSS 3, Adobe has left a great big hole in the middle of the new Dreamweaver. If I'm going to have to code these by hand, then there's little incentive for me to upgrade from CS4. Adobe may, by this oversight, intend to extend the useful life of Flash, but if this is so it's penny wise and pound foolish. There is much to like about Flash - and much to dislike about how it works on the user side. Leaving these problems unresolved hurts Flash, and leaving HTML 5 and CSS 3 support out of Dreamweaver hurts Dreamweaver. In other words, this is a lose-lose strategy.

    Hi Scott
    Sorry for the delay in replying, but I turn my internet connection off when working, otherwise I have found I tend to do more research than work.
    Media-Queries:
    I had viewed the video on the possible implementation of media-queries when it was first released, and in most respects the implementation is as I would expect, but it would be helpful if it was, (in a future development of the use) possible to show a list of 'common' smartphone/handheld devices, (makes/models) within the dreamweaver interface that would be usable with the screen size being used, (possibly as an import from the 'device central' device list as a drop-down list). My reason for asking for this feature is primarily as a time saving feature for the css layouts via media-queries as it would then show the targeted/usable devices in a list, and possibly alleviate the requirement of developing layouts that are not really required.
    Video:
    At the moment I am using the video feature as you have indicated where possible, and am doing so with the use of IECC's for IE as a fall-back for that browser. I have tried targeting versions if Firefox and Safari that support the video element by testing for it with JavaScript, but I have found this unreliable, possibly when the standard is finalized this may be the better method.
    SVG:
    I personally have decided to go with svg in preference to canvas. I have seen a few 'wow' factor demo's produced using canvas but as they use cross-compiled java to javascript code they are in reality showing nothing that has not been done before, (If we had 4Ghz processors with multi-core in 1999 similar trial graphics in vml would have worked just as good then, showing my age here!).
    My current work-flow with svg is - Inkscape - Modify the code by hand/preview in a browser - copy/past the code into dreamweaver.
    The current in-line implementation of svg's in the IE9 preview is where I see the main future of the svg implementations, as this makes using svg's for graphic elements and basic animations much more viable/easier for the average designer/developer, and lets not forget that as it is a vector it is ideal for resizeable background images in fluid/liquid layouts.
    I should say here, that I will for the foreseeable future use flash/swf's for more complex animations, as these are still much better quality than anything that can be achieved with svg or canvas.
    I would like to see the possibility of using Fireworks for the creation of svg's, and a work flow similar to that available between fireworks and dreamweaver at the moment.
    Cache manifest and database:
    As you have rightly grouped these two together, (and I cannot really envision a situation that they would not be used so) the situation with these is for me, (when trying to create the code for use) the necessity of 'remembering' what I must include in the cache and the transfer of the data for the database.
    Both are probably better explained with a typical scenario -
    A new research/development firm has developed the technology and parts to upgrade an autos internal combustion engine to an hydrogen powered engine. However the products list is specific to the motor manufacturers engine type, and to make matters worse the sales department also wishes an off-line version of the demos and parts list to be available to its sales team and customers, (o/k, maybe this is not a typical scenario, but it does demonstrate the usage).
    When developing the 'custom' html 5' enabled page I would require the cache manifest to include all necessary javascript/images/videos that would be required for the particular auto manufacturer to be available off-line, and compiling the list must be done at present by hand making it subject to possible errors.
    As for the database, (manufacturer specific) this must also be available off-line and updateable by the sales person and customer, as they are not always on-line and no hard-copys of material will be produced, (except when printed by the mechanic).
    My solution for me regarding the cache manifest would possibly be a dialogue in dreamweaver that would show all resources associated with the auto manufacturers model type used in the html site. I have used namespaces, (or some form of identifier) for general and model specific javascript, and a model identifying code for images and videos. The dialogue would then allow me to filter the resources required using the namespaces and identifier and include them in the list as required, possibly in much the same way that items are moved from a general list to a more specific list when creating the 'favourites' toolbar in dreamweaver.
    The database is on first appearance much simpler, as I would simply download the database using the motor_id as a filter, (yes Scott, you can see where I am going with this ) for those who cannot this would be wrong. You have correctly seen the problem with doing this, but I will explain for those who have not. The sales person and the customer would not see any of the images or videos that have references stored in the database, as these are just references and not the actual images/videos, yes one could use 'BLOB' for storing the items but this is not in my experience a reliable method. What is required is some form of method that would also download these items and place them into the required file position for off-line viewing, (which is what the cache manifest would do).
    So I would also require the possibility to add dynamically to the cache manifest from an sql database at the same time as the 'save for off-line' option is generated, (I have experimented with doing this in a similar manner that xml is created from an sql database).
    That's it for the html 5.
    Accessibility:
    For checking I use the firefox accessibility extension and total validator extension first, then the WAVE evaluation tool.
    But for Dreamweaver I would like to see the inclusion of the ARIA options as standard, especially when developing 'rich-internet-applications' particularly the aria-live and role options. I often find it interesting in discussions about html 5 where it is seen by many as a 'new' mark-up' language for the web, but rarely seen in the context of helping in accessibility when used correctly. Even the html 5 spec contains a section on using the new mark-up as part of accessibility and how the ARIA roles should be applied, (see - http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/content-models.html#annotation s-for-assistive-technology-products-%28aria%29).
    The inclusion of an extra live-view option in dreamweaver that render the page in 'screen reader' mode would also be a possible accessibility checking help. This could be done by simply turning off the background-images 'on-mass' and rendering any items as they would be seen by a screen reader. As most screen readers do now parse JavaScript and css, it would illustrate the problems of using such techniques as light-boxes without using the aria-live role to tell users that the light-box in now the focus of the page.
    For anyone who has stayed with this post, my sincere thanks, and any comments on the content would be welcome.

  • New to Dreamweaver and need help with fomatting font

    Hi,  I am new to dreamweaver and have been playing with it for a few weeks.  I have Dreamweaver CS5.5 and I am making some detailed html templates for my ebay listings.  I have created my tables, graphics, and colors but I am having trouble with my font formatting.  Everything is looking really good, but there are a few sentences and even just a few phrases that I want to underline but when I add a text decloration and underline, it just underlines the whole area of sentenses not the specific one that I highlited.  I know how to create a h1, h2, h3 etc code and add underline to it, but I don't want to have to format a h1 or h2 tag everything I want to format a little line.  The reason I have been doing this is because It really is  one of the only ways I have been able to figure out how to underline something.  I watched some tutorials which is how I learned this.  I figured out in the properties Panel on bottom of page to click on the CSS rule to create certain codes and such, but I am not sure how to do this.  I tried one thing which was where it says target rule, I clicked new CSS Rule and then in then in the CSS Styles Panel on right side of screen I selected add property which I was then able to do a text decloration and underline, but it underlines many more sentenses than I am wanting or have selected.  Please help so I am able to specifically choose how to underline just a word or two, and even to have just a word or two specifiaclly be a certain font, size or color.  I am able to find ways to make this work on words as a whole, but not individual words or phrases.
    Thanks for any help its really appreciated!
    Rylan

    Bear in mind that an underlined word or phrase on the web means a clickable link to most people.
    So, if you want to draw attention to something on screen, use anything (font size, color etc) except for an underline.
    text-decoration: underline; is only used in CSS for styling clickable links. Not for regular text.
    One option is to use the HTML <span> tag combined with CSS.
    CSS
    .important {
         font-size: 14px;
         color: red;
    <p>This sentence contains a really <span class="important">important</span> word</p>

  • HTML layout and CSS handling in CQ5

    OK...so this may sound like a newbie question...because it is.  Kinda.
    I'm new to CQ5 but am an experienced web developer.  CQ5 doesn't appear to provide tools to layout of web pages (html tags, divs, css styling, ...).  I'm comfortable doing this by hand, but that seems rather old school in the days of Dreamweaver and such.
    What layout/design tools do you recommend for creating HTML and CSS pages for use in CQ5?  I have wireframes in-hand and ready to translate to HTML.
    Thanks!

    None of the enterprise content management systems that I've used, including CQ, provide WYSIWYG tools for building the layouts/templates of the site.
    I always build complete static versions of the designs/wireframes by hand entirely outside of CQ.  I prefer Textmate, but of course you can use whatever visual tool you prefer.  After the static HTML passes muster it then needs to be integrated, by hand, into CQ in the form of page and content components.  This is generally straightforward (depending on the design).
    CQ 5.5 does give you the Site Importer to help bring an existing page (or set of pages) into CQ which it then breaks up into the beginnings of a project, but in reality the developer will still need to break that up even further anyway.  Applying this integration by hand from the ground up will likely give you better control and awareness of what's going on in your project. Letting to much "magic" happen behind a slick wizard or WYSIWYG won't help you when something (inevitably) needs debugging and dissection.
    Having said all this, since the Adobe acquisition of CQ, I wouldn't be surprised if there was some kind of Dreamweaver plugin in the works for connecting to CQ!
    Good luck!

  • Newsletter creation and CSS export in Adobe Fireworks

    I am a new to adobe fireworks and am currently in the trial mode of my download.
    I was advised that Adobe FIreworks CS6 is the ideal program to create graphics and text to build a newsletter for my company.
    Not knowing much about the program, I was able to add graphics, text and hotspots on specific images and text with an html link for customers to be able to click to sign up for the newsletter via our website.
    The million dollar question I have is how in the world do I export this document and paste it into the "body" of an email to send to 5k contacts?
    I do not want an attachment, I want the body fo the email to be html or css coded, but I know nothing about either of the two or how to do it.
    I did find one video that walked me thru the export css process, but none of my images were shown and 90% of the text was missing.
    I believe I need to understand "layers" to get this to work properly but could really use some help!
    I am dangerously close to missing out on advertising to all 5k contacts before the holiday. Please help!!
    BTW - the reason for doing this instead of using standard mailchimp or constant contact is because I purchased my email list and those are forbidden in both constant contact and mailchimp hence why i need to create my own opt-in newsletter to get people to opt-in via my website.
    Thanks in Advance!!

    Seriously, do not use Fireworks to generate the html for your webpage.  It is graphics program with *some* html capabilites, but I would never use it for a live site.  It is always best to create the layout in Fireworks, slice it up as for use as individual images, or uses 'pieces' for background images and write the markup (html + css) in Dreamweaver or a HTML editor of your choice.
    This tutorial may help you make the transition.  Naturally it helps to have at least a basic knowledge of html and css before working with Dreamweaver, it will make using DW so much easier.

  • DW Beginner - Tables, Div Tags and CSS Confusion

    Hi,
    I am a beginner to DW. The layout I am designing is as follows:
    First I have an overall "container" on the outside of my layout which I called "wrapper" and I made it using a div tag.
    Next I made a table within or right after this "wrapper" div tag, which I called my "navbar".
    After this table I made another table named left and right column (r:1 cz:2).
    And lastly, another table, called "footer".
    Now, I made a CSS for the div tag, no problem. But, when I go to make CSS for the tables, that's where it gets confusing.
    For example, I went into my "navbar" table, selected on the "trail" <td>, and then tried to create a CSS for this particular table.
    Problem: Why when setting my font or background or any other setting, are the other 2 tables changing also if I only assigned this specific area for the CSS navbar table? Am I selecting the wrong "trail" or is it because it is still entrapped somehow in the "wrapper" div tag, so it won't allow my new CSS settings? I would appreciate any help. This can really get confusing fast, especially for us beginners trying to learn.
    Thanks,
    S

    on web development. I will never be an "expert" on web development.
    I say this because the web language and technology is constantly
    changing and one must keep up with today's craving for digital
    supremacy.
    Few months ago I was unable to create a web page with out
    Dreamweaver design view but now, I hate design view. I sit and
    create web pages in note pad all day and I love it! I love writing
    raw codes and my dream is to become one of the best web developer
    some day.
    Anyway, I have learned a lot about CSS/XHTML to at least
    create basic websites but I want to take the next step since I can
    now afford to take college classes.
    What do I learn next? I want to learn another language that
    will enhanced my design/developer technical knowledge. Do I go
    JavaScript? Flash/Actionscript?
    I want to learn a technology that can create interactivity on
    the web but with all the different languages, I'm confused as to
    where to start.
    Any advise?

    Many of us have backgrounds in areas other than web
    development, and
    learned it the same way you did.

    However - (X)HTML and CSS are the backbone of web
    development, and will
    remain so for the forseeable future. (Like until
    October...)[1]

    I can - and do - some development in a text editor. However,
    the
    conveniences Dreamweaver adds - things like tag completion
    and file
    management - mean that I do most of my work in DW's code
    view.

    Learn serverside scripting, either PHP or ASP.Net/C# or maybe
    .Net/jscript. Check the want ads or online job boards for
    what
    companies are looking for in the area you want to work.
    There is some work out there for Flash developers, either as
    part of a
    team or as a subcontractor, doing parts of sites. A lot of
    sites I see
    use a Flash header to add some interest to a page. But the
    number of
    straight Flash sites is limited, and I suspect will be for a
    while.
    Javascript is good too, and some people make a living from
    creating
    javascript widgets for web development. See, for example,
    Project
    Seven (
    http://projectseven.com/) or
    Michael Brandt (Diva HTML
    http://www.divahtml.com/).
    And a competent web developer should have a
    passing familiarity with it. But I'd guess that you're
    unlikely to
    land a local development job based on your javascript
    abilities.
    [1] For the humor impaired - I'm kidding. It will be November
    at
    least. I'm not sure what the year will be, though.

  • Alignment Issues between dreamweaver and browser

    Hi
    Hoping someone can help, i'm trying to learn how to make
    better sites with advanced tools like apDIV's but seem to be
    running into an alignment issue. When I make the html file in
    dreamweaver I seem to have to off set the images and div tags
    inorder for the site to show up aligned properly in firefox,
    explorer, etc. I'm thinking there might be a problem in the actual
    code causing this but am not good enough yet to find it or the
    problem, any ideas or guidence would be greatly accepted. below if
    the links work is the difference I see between dreamweaver and when
    its launched in a browser.

    > over a centered frame
    You are not using frames - that's a table.
    Yes - there's a way to do this, but it will involve your
    working in code.
    Make your page left aligned by removing any centering.
    Then position your layer so that it is properly located over
    the table.
    Change this -
    </head>
    to this -
    <style type="text/css">
    #wrapper { width:760px; margin:0 auto;position:relative; }
    /* 760px will display on an 800px screen maximized browser
    window without */
    /* horizontal scrollbars. */
    </style>
    </head>
    (you may need to adjust this width so that it's consistent
    with the width of
    your centering table)
    change this -
    <body ...>
    (the ellipsis represents any other attributes that might be
    mentioned in the
    body tag, and SHOULD NOT BE INCLUDED EXPLICITLY!)
    to this -
    <body ...>
    <div id="wrapper">
    and this -
    </body>
    to this -
    <!-- /wrapper -->
    </div>
    </body>
    and see if that helps.
