Dreamweaver can't see my css or template files

I'm sure this is a simple problem with a simple answer, but it's baffling me...
I'm currently setting up a new site with a new local root folder. I'd like to make some pages for this new site based on my existing css file and templates. I put these files into my new site's local root folder, then clicked through the usual 'Page from template' procedure and created a new page from one of my templates in the normal way.
Trouble is, as soon as I try to save the page I've created, I get an error message: "This document uses the following files not in this site -" Dreamweaver then lists my css file and various image files. But all the files show up as present and correct in my new local root folder!
The error message box gives me the option to copy the files to the local root folder of my new site - although, as I've said, as far as I can see from a glance at the Files panel, they're all there already. In any case, if I click the "Copy" button, I get another error message: "Making this change would require changing code that is locked by a template or a translator. The change will be discarded."
I can upload the page, but it comes up with no formatting - here it is: http://www.nemesis.to/testpage.htm
Looking at the code, I see that the css file is linked like this:
<link href="file:///Macintosh HD/Users/michaeljohnson/Documents/newpagestyle.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
I suspect that might be where the problem is. I would expect that line of code to look more like this:
<link href="newpagestyle.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
But I have no idea why that's happening, or where to go from here. I suppose I could re-write that line of code by hand, but that doesn't amount to fixing the problem. I'd like the whole thing to work normally from the first click!
Have I got my css file and/or template files in the wrong place? What do I have to do so Dreamweaver can find the files?
All advice welcome - thanks for any wise words you might have. Sorry if this all seems very simple, but I really don't know enough about this stuff to make progress from this point.

Oh, yes, I think it's all ludicrously over-complicated! The thing is, I've been using my templates without any trouble for ages. The problem only came up when I created a new local root folder, copied my template and css files into it, created pages using those templates and - suddenly I've got no formatting.
Everything in the old local root folder is still working fine. I can make new pages from the template files in that folder and it's all good. It does look like the copy/paste process broke the essential links, but how could that happen?
I suppose I could create new templates from scratch in the new local root folder, but that seems unnecessary when I've already got template files that work perfectly - in the *other* local root folder!
Anyway, here comes the code...
This is the page_layout.dwt file as it appears in my old local root folder. This is the file as it appears in my old local root folder - the one that that works!
Note the link to the css file, which I've made bold here:

And here is the file as it appears after I'd copied it into my new local root folder. This is the version that won't give me any formatting. Note the link to the css file has changed. This surely must be the problem, because I can't see anything else that's different - but how could that line change simply by copying the file into another local root folder?

Help! Sometimes Dreamweaver CS3 can't see my .css file

Once a day or so dreamweaver cs3 can't see my .css file. So
all my files that I am working with turn to poop. To fix I have to
close each file and re-open. Then my .css returns and all my files
are how they should be. Anyone else ever have this problem?

That I do not know - I've never looked. From the styles
panel, I do know that it does not completely disapear - it shows
the .css - just all the rules are missing. I will look next time.
Usually only happens when multiple files are open. Thanks

When downloading is complete, I can not see, run, nor access the file; it only appears in the "Downloads" window (and not the specified folder) and the only options permitted are to delete it, or to go to the download web site; what's blocking it?

My PC's OS is 'MS Windows Vista Home Premium'. As my initil question states: When downloading, after the download completes, I can not see, run, nor access the file in it's designated folder. The download only appears in the "Downloads" window and the only "Right Click" options permitted are to "Remove From List", "Select All", & "Copy Download Link" I also can not double click to run it.

I have a similar problem when accessing .zip files that are attachments to my emails. Here, however, I can place the file in a designated folder, however, the .zip file and it's compressed content files are file-typed as "FireFox Document" and I get permissions errors when running an unzip tool.
Why are my download files being quarantined ??? Is there a security setting option I need to change???
To get around this, I'm using IE to download and install these files, but switching back & forth between FireFox & IE is a real pain.

It's your anti-virus not working correctly while scanning. You can turn off the option to scan in Firefox's '''about:config''' by filtering for '''browser.download.manager.scanWhenDone''' and double-clicking that line to change the value to '''false'''

Spool file problem,Can't see the query in output file.

Hello ,
I am facing a very old school kind of problem .....about spool file ....
The scenario -
I have made a script by name DB_Status_checkup.sql which i want to fire on the database to check the database status. In this script their are many queries regarding the data dictionary views to know about the database. It consist of nearly 25-30 different select queries..
The problem is i want to make a spool file of the output of that query....i want to see the SQL query & the output below in the spool file, so it will be easy for me to judge the result. But i can't see the SQL query , i can only see the output , & in so many queries it all gets jumbled up....even i can't understand where the next output starts ...
Sample of my SQL Script ....
clear buffer
spool D:\DB_status.txt
/*To check the database startup time*/
Select to_char(startup_time, 'HH24:MI DD-MON-YY') "Startup time"
from v$instance
.........next query n so on....
spool off;
In the output pf the spool file at D:\db_status.txt..
Startup time
08:25 16-JUL-10It shows only the output of the query in the spool file not the query,
What should i do to get the SQL query as well as the output of that query just below it in the spool file ???
Please suggest if you have anymore ideas , regarding this .....

Thanks in advance ...

Why don't you just use database control, instead of re-inventing the wheel?
Apart from that, SQL*Plus has it's own reference manual, which you apparently refuse to read.

He means he installed Photoshop and updated the ACR plug-in to version 7.2.
What he neglects to say is whether he updated Photoshop itself to version 13.0.1.

Using old version CS3. Can't "see" both Local and Remote files. Only Local.

Used to see both Local and Remote files. Worked in Local and then "Put" to the Remote when ready. Only see Local now. Work in Local is saved automatically to the server. Need to go back to the work in Local and Put to Remote. What happened? How do we fix it? Thanks!

Could you post a screen shot of what you're seeing when you go to...
Site > Manage Sites > Click the site you're working on > Edit
There should be two tabs in the upper left corner of the dialogue box that comes up, Basic and Advanced. Basic walks you through set-up with a bunch of questions and Advanced allows you to just enter the info into the correct fields. If the Advanced tab is open, it should be under the Remote heading where you set your FTP info.

Dreamweaver doesn't see my .css file, why (screenshot included)?

I get the below pop up, as you can see the file is in the folder, on my drive locally. I tried clicking on the get blue button but nothing happens. Anyone know why this is happening & or what I can do to fix it? thank you, Stacey

Hi Stacey,
please have a look to your source code of your tours.html. You will find, probably, these "///", what means DW thinks that your main.css file is linked outside the local root folder and situated on your hard drive. "///'-type link will not work on the web.
If not, please send a link to your website, no matter how it looks like.

I made this in dreamweaver, can i slap some CSS on it?

Hi everyone,
A friend of mine asked me to do a webpage for her, and for
the most part, I made the page. Its not yet cmpleted, but here's
the link:
http://www.helenbwilson.com
The html pages are already made, but I wanted to format the
text in the cells in the "About" and "Contact" section, as the
leading and padding need to be fixed (The text aligns way too close
to the border of the table/cell). Is it possible to have a CSS
document where I can put it and all the text in the cells will be
formatted to my liking?
And that leads me to my next question of : how difficult is
it to make this in straight up CSS?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks, and go easy on me, Im a noob

Certainly.

Learning how to effectively create pages without using tables
is an arduous
process for most people. Although Nick's suggestion is right
on target,
it's not very practical for someone asking the questions you
are asking. I
suggest you begin to use CSS for content styling and slowly
migrate into the
more advanced usages, like floats and other page-placement
techniques as
your knowledge increases.
And learn how to use a grain of salt with the recommendations
that you do
this transition instantly, and never use tables for anything
but tabular
content. Get pragmatic. If a table works best for a
praticular purpose,
there's no shame in using it. Browsers will support tables
'till the cows
come home.

MX2004 - CS4 : can't see new CSS outlining

I got out of the stone age and got CS4 mainly for graphic workflow and easier integration with DW. What sold me is being able to see the outlining CS4 shows with CSS.
But when I brought in all my websites and opened them it pretty much display as MX did although of course there's live view etc. BUT there's no outlining around all the CSS page content and there's no tree when I view the CSS files.
I mainly used MX2004 for hand coding since its so old and all the site render properly in the browsers. Why won't they take advantage of the new features in DWCS4? Is it because they were created in MX? It shouldn't matter to the CSS should it?

You toggle the CSS visual layout aids on/off: View > Visual Aids
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Dreamweaver/10.0_Using/WScbb6b82af5544594822510a94ae8d65-7de4a .html
I also make extensive use of Firebug in Firefox to see which rule is affecting which element in the layout.
When you say there's no CSS tree, are you referring to the CSS Panel in DW or the Code in Code View or something else?

Where can i see default look report template

Hi All,
Iam using Default look 5 report template. but it is not showing in edit page. If i select other tahn default look ,it is showing in edit page.
but i need change column heading color and etc ...... for default Look 5
Any One knows pls ...tell me
Thanks in Advance

"Default look" report templates are hard-wired into the APEX engine and cannot be modified. You could look at the HTML source of a rendered report to figure out any classes etc used and try to come up with CSS to override the default appearance, but the best approach would be to use the rendered source in conjunction with Firefox+Firebug to figure out how the report is structured and styled and build a custom report template based on this.

Dreamweaver can't 'see' Contribute: REDUX

Hi: I'm checking out DW 8 and Contribute 4 (trial) when I try
to use Dreamweaver Launch & Administer Contribute for my site I
get the popup "you must install Contribute 2 or later." But I
already installed it and it's running. I've seen this topic posted
recently but no solutions there. I was trying to follow the
"Integrating Dreamweaver 8 with Contribute 4" article by Mark
Fletcher. Is there another forum that would be more appropriate?
I'm using XP sp2.
Thanks for any help you can provide

Actually, Adobe support did call me and I finally got this
issue resolved. Basically, I needed to uninstall DW and Contribute
in a certain way. This Tech Note,
http://www.adobe.com/go/4e7826b7,
walked me through that. I then installed DW and Contribute as per
this Tech Note,
http://www.adobe.com/go/d2b5934d.
So I first uninstalled DW & Contribute, according to
http://www.adobe.com/go/4e7826b7.
I then installed DW 8 & Contribute 3, according to
http://www.adobe.com/go/d2b5934d.
And then I installed the DW 8.0.2 patch.
Hope this helps.

Dreamweaver can't 'see' Contribute

I have DW8 and Contribute 4 (trial) installed, but DW doesn't
'know' Contribute is there.
When I try to "Manage Site from Contribute" in DW's site
management dialog box, I get the error message "You must install
Contribute 2 or later, want to do so now?" I've tried reinstalling
Contribute. Nothing. Is there a config file I can tweak, or delete,
and let DW rebuild that will fix this? Tnx much, Neil
