Opinion:  If you don't know how to do this basic requirement, then I'd suggestthat you don't open Dreamweaver until you have a basic understanding of HTML and css.  If you don't know any html/css then using Dreamweaver is going to be an uphill struggle.  Learn some basics and Dreamweaver will be easier to use.
To answer the above, you need to create a navigation bar with the menu items required  Home / Services  etc.
Highlight the Home button and create a link tot he home.html page  (that you should have already created).  You link to the page via the Property Inspector.  Same for the next nav link.  Select the Services Text and via the property inspector navigate to the services.html page  (again that you should have already created).
- the second, why is the site not working in the browser Internet Explorer. In firefox it is working very well.
Could be any number of issues.  You need to upload the page to your hosting server and provide the link to this page.  The answer will be in the code (hence the above opinion about learning html/css  :-)

  • Question about Dreamweaver CS4 Preview in Browser

    Good morning,
    as a newcomer to Dreamweaver CS4, I find myself in a strange position: I managed to create several pages that work correctly, but whenever I transfer those pages in the server of the company I work for, they show up with a different format for the text parts, and the divs show up as shorter than they should be. And yet, I pretty much copy-and-pasted the original working html pages from my C to the server... why does this problem happen?
    Thank you very much.

    I can't really say without seeing your code. But some things that may cause issues:
    - make sure your code is valid by running it through a validator: http://validator.w3.org/ and fixing any issues noted
    - Some older versions of IE have a different way of handeling the box-model concept and this can cause sizing and layout issues. You can read all about it on the internet.
    But I would focus on making sure your code is valid - most rendering issues are caused by invalid code like missing closing tags, improperly nested elements, etc.

  • Few questions about Photoshop CS4 Student Edition

    I'm thinking of getting a DSLR camera in the summer, so (since I'm a geek) I want to make sure I've got all the software I'll need to edit the photos once I've taken them. The catch is that I graduate from university this year, so if I'm going to buy Photoshop (ie if I'm going to _afford_ Photoshop) I need to do so in the next couple of months to get the educational discount.
    I've just got a few questions as to whether I actually need Photoshop CS4 for my situation:
    *I already have Lightroom 2 (courtesy of Amazon Vine!) for processing RAW files, doing basic colour adjustment etc. Would I get £150 worth of extra usage from Photoshop CS4 compared to Lightroom?
    *What DRM/copy protection does Photoshop CS4 use? Is it the same that's used in Lightroom 2 (hasn't given me any problems) or the Macrovision stuff that installs a background service (called something like 'Adobe LM monitor') on your computer?
    *If I need to reactivate over the phone some time in the future (e.g. when I move to a new computer and I've already used the activations) do I still need to be a qualifying student?
    Reckoned there wouldn't be a better place to ask these than PS forums :)

    >then you just don't know enough about photoshop.
    Actually, if you had read the initial post you'd realise that I'm fully aware that Photoshop is hugely powerful. However it doesn't offer enough benefit for my usage (ie retouching of amateur photos) to make it worth the money + computer infection. My above post wasn't an attempt to say that Photoshop is bad, or that Gimp or any of these other freeware programs are even in the same league, I was just stating that my own need for Photoshop's power isn't great enough to make me want to install spyware.
    >hmmm how about A PAYING JOB! i think that's what the clincher is for most folks.
    True, but (again, as I explained above) I'm not a professional photographer/graphic artist/etc. and therefore there is no 'need it for work' motivation.

  • Question about Dreamweaver Native Mobile Apps with PhoneGap

    I am trying to determine the best way to build an app for my business.  It doesn't need to be anything fancy, but needs a clean UI that is easy to navigate and interfaces with an online database.  The PhoneGap intergration with Dreamweaver 5.5 seems really intriguing, but before I spend the $650 to upgrade my creative suite, I had some questions.
    Doing some research, I have found multiple references to apps created in this way running slowly.  Noticable lapses on button pushes, pages loading slowly, etc.  Is this an issue and if it is, is there any way to get around it? 
    Idealy, I would deploy my app to both Android and iOS devices, how smoothly does that run?  I have some basic knowledge of both Java and Objective-C, but using dreamweaver seems to be quite a timesaver.
    If anyone has any input or comments about using Dreamweaver to create native mobile apps I would love to get some feedback.  Thanks!

    PhoneGap builds mobile apps with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. You cannot use a server-side language, such as PHP, with PhoneGap.
    Presumably, you want to connect with a MySQL database on a remote server. To do so, you would need to use Ajax to send and receive data from the MySQL database. You can use jQuery to send and receive data as JSON. PHP has JSON functions that decode and encode data as JSON strings.
    How difficult or easy you would find setting this up depends on your knowledge of jQuery and PHP. I don't know of any tutorials that show how to pull everything together for PhoneGap, but it shouldn't be too difficult to find tutorials for using jQuery Ajax to communicate with MySQL.

  • General questions about Dreamweaver

    Hi,
    I'm somewhat a newbie to web development (mostly do windows
    application development) so I'm trying to determine the best tools
    to acquire to learn and work in.
    I have done a little in Visual studio with asp.net (2.0) so
    I'm somewhat familiar with that tool. I was looking at taking some
    online classes in web design and it appears most use dreamweaver as
    the tool of choice.
    So my question is can you do code behind like you can in asp?
    In other words, can I write code on component events, like a button
    click? Maybe it is better to ask what I can't do in DW?
    I'll probably purchase DW cs3 version via the academic stores
    (or Creative Web Suite).
    Any thoughts would be appreciated.
    Thanks
    Rut

    > can I do that in DW
    Yes.
    > what language or means does it use to provide that
    > functionality?
    ASP, ASP.Net, ColdFusion, PHP, or JSP - take your pick. DW's
    support for
    .Net is rudimentary, but usable at some level. The rest are
    much more
    robustly supported.

  • Three questions about the CS4 SDK Exporter

        Hello. I'm working to make an Exporter Plug-In that supports "Pro CS4" and "Elements 8.0" single binary.
        Please give me any advices to complete it. I show you the questions as follows:
    How can I get the slider screen without checkbox (in parameter GUI)
    How to enable an Exporter Plug-In at "Elements 8.0".
    What is the difference between ver.4.0 and ver.4.2 in exExpoterInfoRec.
    Details below.
    1st:
        I tried PrSDKExportParamSuite::AddParam() with exParamFlag_slider and exParamFlag_optional.
        Both cases parameter GUI shows slider with checkbox. Please teach me a method to use simple slider (no checkbox) in parameter GUI.
        BTW, Standard plugins are seem to use "Premiere Export Private Statndar Param Suite". Are you planning to publish it?
    2nd:
        The Premiere Elements 8.0 never shows any additional Exporter Plug-in, including SDK sample (ExporterSDK.prm).
        Please tell me if I need special installation procedures.
    3rd:
        I found that the exExporterInfoRec is difference between 4.0 and 4.2. The exExporterInfoRec[ver. 4.2] is defined in CS4SDK_r1. But I can't find any definition of exExporterInfoRec[ver. 4.0] in the SDK.
        An Exporter Plug-In is build with CS4SDK_r1 never work on the Premiere Pro CS4 (4.0) / Media Encoder CS4 (4.0). I need definition of exExporterInfoRec[ver. 4.0] to support CS4 (ver. 4.0).
    Thanks.

    Below is the definition of the return values in Premiere Elements 8. The red values are unique to Premiere Elements 8, and shifted the subsequent return values 2 values higher than their definition in the Premiere Pro SDK.
    enum
          exportReturn_ErrNone = 0,                 // no error
          exportReturn_Abort,                             // User aborted the compile
          exportReturn_Done,                              // Export finished normally
          exportReturn_InternalError,
          exportReturn_OutputFormatAccept,                // The output format is valid
          exportReturn_OutputFormatDecline,               // The compile module cannot compile to the output format
          exportReturn_OutOfDiskSpace,        // Out of disk space error
          exportReturn_BufferFull,                  // The offset into the audio buffer would overflow it
          exportReturn_ErrOther,                    //
          exportReturn_ErrMemory,                   // ran out of memory
          exportReturn_ErrFileNotFound,       // File not found
          exportReturn_ErrTooManyOpenFiles,   // Too many open files
          exportReturn_ErrPermErr,                  // Permission violation
          exportReturn_ErrOpenErr,                  // Unable to open the file
          exportReturn_ErrInvalidDrive,       // Drive isn't valid.
          exportReturn_ErrDupFile,                  // Duplicate Filename
          exportReturn_ErrIo,                             // File io error
          exportReturn_ErrInUse,                    // File is in use
          exportReturn_IterateExporter,       // Return value from exSelStartup to request Exporter iteration
          exportReturn_IterateExporterDone,   // Return value from exSelStartup to indicate there are no more Exporters
          exportReturn_InternalErrorSilent,   /*    Silent error code; host application will not display an error message on screen.
                                                                      Exporters can return this error code from compDoCompile if they wish to
                                                                      put their own customized error message on screen just before returning
                                                                      control.  */
          exportReturn_ErrCodecBadInput,            // a video codec refused the input format
          exportReturn_ErrLastErrorSet,       // the Exporter had an error and set a display string for it using the PrSDKErrorSuite.
          exportReturn_ErrLastWarningSet,           // the Exporter had an warning and set a display string for it using the PrSDKErrorSuite.
          exportReturn_ErrLastInfoSet,        // the Exporter has an info string to display and set it using the PrSDKErrorSuite.
          exportReturn_ErrExceedsMaxFormatDuration, // the Exporter (or the host) has deemed the duration of the compile to be too large
          exportReturn_VideoCodecNeedsActivation,         // the current video codec is not activated and cannot be used.
          exportReturn_AudioCodecNeedsActivation,         // the current audio codec is not activated and cannot be used.
          exportReturn_IncompatibleAudioChannelType,      // the requested audio channels are not compatible with the source audio
          exportReturn_Unsupported = -100           // Unsupported selector
     Obviously, this wasn't the right way to add these new return values.

  • Questions about buying CS4 student edition

    I'm a college student and I would like to take advantage of the amazing price Adobe offers students on the CS4 design standard package.  I have some questions though:
    1. I'm not a design major.  Does that matter?  The only thing I see is that you have to be a college student - it doesn't specify that I need to be any particular major.
    2. Can I install the software on 2 computers?  I have two Macs that I would like to install the programs on.

    No. You just have to be a student. Keep in mind the student version does not allow you to do commercial work with the applications. On the other hand in the US you are allowed to do commercial work with the educational version. both version can be upgraded to the next version with no restrictions.
    2. Can I install the software on 2 computers?  I have two Macs that I would like to install the programs on.
    Yes, but only if you use them one at a time. You can't have your roommate working while you work. That would require 2 Licenses.

  • Question about Dreamweaver CS3 capabilities

    I am a new user of Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 and I was wondering
    if it is possible to create a website where people can leave
    comments directly on the site. If this is possible, how is it
    done?

    Can you imagine the mush that looking at this WordPress site
    would make of a

  • One question about dreamweaver cc layers

    Hello!
    Help please, how create a new layer with text over pictures?
    *Only In dreamweaver 13 cc!
    Thanks

    "Layers" are so 1990s! The ability to easily create an absolutely positioned container (a layer) has been removed from all recent versions of DW simply because it's a troublesome technique to use for layout and usually causes more problems than it solves. Anyhow, a "layer" is just any page element that has been made absolutely positioned by your page's CSS. This means that even an image could be referred to as a layer, even though the image tag is not able to 'contain' anything. The way to make a "layer" in contemporary versions of DW would be to place a div on your page and style it to be absolutely positioned and located wherever you want it:
    HTML
    <div class="whatever">your desired text</div>
    CSS
    .whatever {
         position:absolute;
         left:200px;
         top:50px;
    This CSS will place that div 50px from the top of the nearest positioned ancestor, and 200px from the left. If there is no positioned ancestor, then the div would be positioned from the top and left of the viewport (the browser window). So - insert the div, give it a class or an id value, and create your CSS using the CSS panel and the appropriate selector.

  • Question about Dreamweaver templates ( liquid vs fixed)

    Hello all
    I am using DW CS5 and I used a template (two side bars header and footer for HTML liquid )when I upload the files to my site the side bars were not lined correctly but when I did live preveiw it looked great I dont know how to go about fixing this because in DW the bars look like that are position correctly in and out of live view How would I go about fixing this.

    You should never rely just on DW live preview to see how pages are rendered(look). Sometimes it may look fine, other times it may look completely wrong. It also doesnt take into account how different browsers display your code. Always test your pages locally in a browser.

  • A question about Encore CS4 Authoring Mode.

    How does Encore CS4 "Authoring Mode", DVD or BLU-RAY, in the projects panel affect the workflow?
    It seems that no matter what mode you select, you can still choose to author either a dvd or blu-ray disc in the "Build" panel.

    Ok...
    I think i figured it out. Appearently the author mode determines whether dvd or blu-ray transcoding will occur when you build or transcode now.

  • Quick question about upgrading CS4 Design Premium to CS5.

    So I was lucky enough to get a free upgrade from Adobe, but I was just wondering, when I install the upgrade will anything happen to my saved documents?  Like if I wanted to could I go back to them on CS5 and still work with them; layers and all?
    Thanks for the help;
    -Peter

    You don't have to but there's no good reason at all to uninstall it. InDesign especially is not very compatible with earlier versions. If you work with anyone on CS4 it would be very prudent to leave it installed.

  • Question about the CS4 educational version

    Hi,
    I got my adobe CS 4 (for education and individual use only) around 4-5 years ago when I first joined the lab at Hopkins. I had successfully activated the software with a full serial number that might need for activation. However, recently I have got a new Mac Air and have had all professional version of new CS 6 installed by the dealer. My younger sister has also just got a new Mac Pro. I would like to know if my CS 4 could be used on her laptop?! Is that as long as there is only one person who is using the software, there will be no problem for the software installation?!
    Also, will the licensing expire at some time point?! Should I show the student identity to you again?!
    Thanks,
    Emily @

    Emily no you can not transfer your education license for Creative Suite 4 to anyone.  This is part of the agreement you made when purchasing the software at the deeply discounted price provided to education users.

  • Dreamweaver CS4 and PHP require_once, require, include_once, include absolute paths

    I have a question about Dreamweaver CS4's new functionality that lists required and included files in a second row below the name of the file you are currently editing. It's handy.
    I see that Dreamweaver attempts to list all the included files for a given page so that it is easier to find and edit those files.
    For example.  If I had a HTML document called index.html that linked to a CSS document called style.css, when I open index.html, Dreamweaver CS4 lists style.css in a row below index.html.
    My problem is this.  This new functionality works on absolute paths and relative paths for HTML elements. For example, it can find and link to CSS files regardless of if the src tag is relative  or absolute (/css/style.css)
    REFRESHER: absolute paths start with a "/" as in "/css/style.css" and relative paths do not start with a "/" as in "css/style.css" or "../../css/style.css"
    However, PHP files that are linked to the current page via require, require_once, include, or include_once, only appear to work if you use a relative path.
    So this would work in Dreamweaver:
    require_once('../lib/config.php');
    But this would not
    require_once('/home/matt/mydomain.com/html/lib/config.php');
    As any PHP developer knows, you are never supposed to use relative paths with included or required files.  Especially if your site has multiple levels of sub directories.  Relative paths are relative to the calling php document.  It causes a bunch of problems.  I can explain how if you want.
    How can I tell Dreamweaver that the base directory on my apache web server for my domain...
    /home/matt/mydomain.com/html/
    ... is the equivalent of the base directory on my home computer where dreamweaver accesses my files.
    C:\Users\Matt\Documents\My Websites\mydomain.com\
    So that when I write...
    require_once('/home/matt/mydomain.com/html/lib/config.php');
    ... how can I force dreamweaver understand that "/home/matt/mydomain.com/html/" is the same as "C:\Users\Matt\Documents\My Websites\mydomain.com\" on my home computer. So that way, this new Dreamweaver CS4 submenu feature can find and link to the correct file.
    Essentially, can I define Dreamweaver "include paths" for Dreamweaver to search in if the file I'm trying to include is not in the same directory?

    athensmusician wrote:

    Perhaps you ought to inform the PHP documentation team. All the examples in the PHP manual use relative paths.
    Essentially, can I define Dreamweaver "include paths" for Dreamweaver to search in if the file I'm trying to include is not in the same directory?
    Dreamweaver parses only relative paths in PHP includes. The Related Files feature was a new addition in Dreamweaver CS4, so it's not 100% perfect. Having the ability to define your own include_path for Dreamweaver to parse would be a useful improvement.
