Adobe recommends: Enhanced support for CSS3 in Dreamweaver CS5.5

Over  the past week, we publicized some high-value content from adobe.com and other community sites. Hopefully you enjoyed these posts and found the resources useful. Today is our last day of the "Adobe Recommends" series.
Continuing our trip along the CSS highway, we now move to CSS3 with our next recommendation, by Preran Kurnool:
Enhanced support for CSS3 in Dreamweaver CS5.5
This blog post takes you through using box shadow, text shadow, border radius, and border image properties in Dreamweaver CS5.5.
Give it a spin and let us know what you think!

Sorry, Al, but I couldn't disagree more.  Where I respect the fact that, as coders, we're rather ingrained with our workflow processes and, at times, hesitant to change, I've found LESS' benefits to be very worthwhile.
No need to apologize. Preprocessing is a topic on which there are differing opinions. You have one. I have one. There are advocates:
http://blog.urbaninsight.com/2012/04/12/ten-reasons-you-should-be-using-css-preprocessor
There are those who are not sold:

http://www.skybondsor.com/blog/css-preprocessors
There are those mostly sold:

There are even those who have been converted (but who might reverse at some later point):
http://cognition.happycog.com/article/preprocess-this
Heck, even I might be converted someday - or not
Bottom line for me, right now? I know I can write CSS that is better than most, more efficient than most, and easier to follow than most, and a preprocessor would add unwanted complexity. But that's for me. For someone not able to be organized intutively, or for a large - but carefully coordinated - team, a preprocessor could be a positive.
But not for me.
There are evolving trends - popular aspects of the technology that may and should find themselves being adapted into CSS. But I've been around this business as long as CSS has. I've seen buzzwords and trends and I've historically been spot-on in predicting the one that will stick. I think preprocessing will stick - but only insofar as it will be a catalyst for features in future versions of CSS. As a separate technology it makes no sense - to me

    I am retired.  In my active years, I purchased Adobe Creative Suite 4 Design Standard and Dreamweaver CS5 for my Windows environment.  I recently spent a fortune to migrate to  Apple.  I now (and a bite late) realize that my licenses are not recognized by Adobe. I am desperate. I cannot afford the expense of buying or paying access to the software and, still,  I need the tools for all those little things I do for enjoyment. What can be done?

    The licenses are operating system specific, so one option would be to retain use of the Windows machine you had before the Mac.
    If you want to try to use the older stuff on your new Mac you can try installing Windows emulation software such as Bootcamp.

  • To Bentley Wolfe, Adobe, re: Locked [ADOBE FYI] : Getting Support for Flash Player 10 and Issue Tracking post

    Hi Bentley,
    I wanted to tell you that an important link you posted does
    not work and says "Sorry, this page is not available".
    It is in your post entitled "Locked [ADOBE FYI] : Getting
    Support for Flash Player 10 and Issue Tracking post", and is at
    http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/messageview.cfmforumid=44&catid=184&threadid= 1400586&enterthread=y.
    The link that is non-functional is "If you have issues
    installing Flash Player 10, first troubleshoot your issues using

    I just wanted you to know, since you have gone to all of the
    effort of posting it. I apologize for having to start a new thread,
    but I was unable to post to your thread, since it is locked and
    read-only.
    This is the issue I am dealing with myself, and desperately
    need help with. :)
    Thank you so very much,

    Hi Bentley,
    I just noticed something. The link that I pasted, to your
    post, does not work either. I noticed why, however, and it seems to
    be why the link in your original page does not work, and why the
    link in my post that goes to your post does not work.
    It seems to be that if a link has a period after it (i.e., if
    it is at the end of a sentence), the period is incorrectly included
    in the "real" link. Somehow, whatever mechanism that processes the
    post has a mini bug in it.
    If you go to the link that is results in "Sorry, this page is
    not available", and look up into the browser address bar, you will
    see the period there each time.
    I just thought that I would point this out, too, so that the
    web techs in charge of the workings of the forums could look into
    it.
    Here is the original link, without a period after it, to your
    original page.

  • Can I compile an App for iOS from Dreamweaver CS5.5 from a PC running Windows (7)?

    Can I compile an App for iOS from Dreamweaver CS5.5 from a PC running Windows (7)?

    No, you need XCode to compile the app and you need a Developers license to be able to publish.

  • Does Adobe have actual support for their products?

    Or does Adobe actually rely on these forums and/or for the customer figure things out for themselves?
    First issue is that all video playback within Premiere CS6 stopped working ( periodically it works for a few days then stops again) . After trying all the recommendations  (clearing out the cache, uninstalling and re-installing Quick Time, etc.) now the program does not even shut down  and after forcing the program to close, it actually is still  runs in the back ground using 1 gigabyte of memory.
    I keep up on the maintenance of the machine (weekly and sometimes every day), install all the updates from Adobe, as well as the driver for the video card (directly from the vendor).
    So has Adobe stopped provided updates for CS6 by coming out with the CC version? Perhaps the Creative Cloud subscription is not really worth the money since you get what you pay for value wise.
    By just browsing through the forum, there appears to many issues, so how reliable is the product ?

    Venting is fine, but really asking for help requires more information... and, as far as I know, CS6 is receiving NO further updates (but, since I don't work for Adobe, that may not be 100% true)
    If you have an actual question, start with more information

  • Why Adobe dont want support for ArmV6 if there are many devices with these?

    Many people use Android devices with ARMv6 like: Galaxy ace, Motorola Defy, Galaxy y, LG Optimus One, etc, ect. I think that therea are more with ARMv6 that ARMv7 check: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1596800
    This link you can see the top 10 of the most common devices Android and the 3th is galaxy ace one devices with ARMv6.
    http://readwrite.com/2013/02/07/8-of-the-10-top-android-devices-in-use%20-belong-to-samsun g
    My Adobe friends. This is true. The big problem that have Adobe Air as framework for develop mobile Aplications is that, if you realy want that Adobe Air be truly one standard for the community, you need cover all devices, no some, otherwise Adobe Air will continue every day more in oblivion.
    If we as developer choosing Adobe AIR as platform to build mobile apps even as simple as "Hello World" or bank aplications, school aplications, enterprices aplications, there are a huge percentage of Android user cant run it. Which means our apps is going to losing millions or billions of potential customer because of chosing Adobe AIR.
    Another thing. Unity, Sencha, Titanium, etc, etc, etc have support to ARMv6 why Adobe don't want support these devices? - This causes only one result: the people will have to resign from adobe AIR mobile technology.
    I hope that Adobe understand and bring AIR support on all those lower performance device (ARMv6) especially those new ARMv6 device.

    To play devil's advocate:
    * The 3rd most popular phone you mention (Galaxy Ace) was released in Feb 2011. I'd say it's falling out of that chart fast.
    * Motorola Defy was released October 2010. Galaxy Y, October 2011. LG Optimus one, October 2010. If the flagship phones for the architecture are 2+ years old, it doesn't speak much for its market penetration.
    * Unity doesn't support ARMv6. As far back as 2011 they announced they'd focus on v7, and whatever support v6 might have is very limited. (Source)
    While I'm sure there's a place in the current market for armv6, it's something that's already legacy and it's going away fast. Not sure it makes sense to spend resources on that. "You need cover all devices" stops making sense when the effort necessary exceeds the returns. I don't see any "new" ARMv6 devices coming out either.
    ARMv6 is dying or dead, depending on how you look at it. It'd make much more sense to support a platform that has new high-end devices coming out (x86).
    If you as a developer absolutely need to support those old, low-end devices, using a simple framework like PhoneGap is a better solution.

  • Will Adobe ever add support for JPEG-XR?

    There's been quite a bit of work done on the Flash Player to display and export JPEG-XR files. During the Flash CS6 prerelease, the Flash team talked about additional JPEG-XR support for things like spritesheet creation.
    I know there's an ancient Photoshop plug-in for JPEG-XR, but does Adobe have any plans to make JPEG-XR a first-class citizen in Photoshop? Considering the numerous benefits the format offers, I'm puzzled as to why this hasn't been added.
    Either way, it would be helpful to get the scoop. If there are no plans to support it then I'll buy a product that does, but I'd prefer Photoshop.

    I've been using XnConvert to convert uncompressed files to JPEG-XR. It's a free, cross-platform, batch file converter:
    http://www.xnconvert.com/
    XnConvert doesn't have as much control over compression settings as I would like, but the JPEG-XR files it creates are 30% – 50% smaller than comparable JPEG files saved using Photoshop's "Save for Web".

  • Fed up with Adobes lack of support for PS12.

    I Purchased PS 12 this past August and I soon found that PS 12 is no longer supported by Adobe.  My warranty has also expired.  Since purchasing the product I have had many problems causing me to spend many hours listening to videos, waiting for answers in published forums.  The basic problem that I have is that PS12 cannot communicate with Revel Premium.  I cannot transfer photos, of which I have thousands, between PS12 and Revel Premium.  For approximately three weeks after purchasing PS 12 and Revel I could transfer photos to and from PS 12 and Revel but this no longer is possible.  What happened?  Should Adobe upgrade me to V13 at no cost?  Does Adobe have someone who will address this problem and solve this issue?

  • Adobe Browser lab support for IE7 has disappeared

    Does anyone know why Adobe Browser lab is no longer supporting IE7? Yesterday it was there. Today it is not. Who knows why?

    Check out the blog post the BrowserLab team put out about this: http://blogs.adobe.com/browserlab/2013/01/01/browserlab-update-removes-ie7/
    To note, there are very few users out there still on IE7, so it might not be worth testing. W3Schools puts it at about 1%: http://www.w3schools.com/browsers/browsers_explorer.asp
    If, however, you do need to test for some reason, the blog post above gives you some tips about how.

  • What is the problem with Adobe Customer/Tech support for Premiere Pro?!?!?!

    Today Adobe closed the NINTH support ticket - since mid-January - on my problem with Premiere Pro CC - it crashes on startup (just after the splash screen loads). From what I gather on here, I am not alone with this problem. It's apparently rather common!
    I've left message after message and, as I said, NINE tech support tickets (most recent #0185443350). All have been closed or withdrawn without ANY help, reply or solution. Yet my monthly Cloud charge is reliably withdrawn from my bank account!
    I need access to a working program! I use this in my studio business and my customers have been waiting since the end of January! This is now costing me money and customers!
    Adobe - Apparently you don't particularly care about your customers. I am NOT impressed and, at this point, I'm starting get a little pissed off. It's been almost six months and.....NOTHING!
    And YES, all of my drivers are up to date, etc. I've reinstalled. Updated drivers. Etc etc etc, ad nauseum!
    NOTHING WORKS!

  • Does Adobe even have support for subscribers?

    I have AfterEffects CC and after effects takes 3-5 mins to launch after double-clicking the icon.
    Constantly "connecting to dynamic link server" in Media Encoder.
    Exporting from AfterEffects to Media Encoder either takes 10 mins  and sometimes the project still won't show up in the ME queue, or ME doesn't open.
    These issues have been going on for better part of a year.  No updates have resolved the problems.
    What is a paying customer supposed to do?  Really, I mean professionals all over the world use these products and can't get support?  The online chat is not available despite the fact that chat hours are advertised.  and the 800# to call them is missing the last digit!  1-800-xxx-xxx  instead of 1-800-xxx-xxxX.

    and WinXP IE8 .
    Please confirm if the toolkit is compatible with the above configurations.

    I am unsure exactly which Adobe product or possibly programing language you are trying to use.  Are you trying to utilize Flex?  You may want to search the Flex forums or post there if that is the case.

  • Protocol for re- installing Dreamweaver CS5 and reconnecting to files

    My web site was working fine till I had malware on my computer and had to clean and re install all programs. I re installed CS3 and then my upgrade to CS5. I went to set up site to reconnect files and now cannot connect to FTP or up load photos for this month. I posed this question 2 days ago and no response and no help. Do I need to take it to Spry Framework where I can get a response?
    Web site is www.williamshomesteadranch.com  There are 4 pages that are ok and I had to use Filezilla to update them. The other pages will not connect any way to FTP.
    I would really appreciate help!

    I do have it copied onto an external hard drive and the original is still there. After talking with Adobe today and finding out their tools system is down till Monday, I plan to un install and reinstall and redefine with the original files. They still should have everythin the same. I have never had to re do this in 4 years and did not remember what was supposed to be there. Is there a protocol for reinstalling since I have to do the CS3 first and then the CS5 upgrade?

  • Adobe AIR support for Windows RT and USB

    We want to develop an cross platform application. We found that Adobe AIR supports cross platform development for Windows, iOS and Android.
    We wanted to know wheather
    1) reading and writing to USB port is possible with Adobe AIR?
    2) Adobe AIR has support for Windows RT development?
    Thanks in advance.

    I wrote before about my concerns with Adobe AIR, but here is a short summary:
    - no road map and no clear plans for the platform,
    - support of new devices is often late, Intel chipsets are not supported on Android,
    - debugging on a device is a pain,
    - inadequate build times for iOS, app package is quite large,
    - list of mobile UI components is very limited and UI experience is far from native,
    - native extensions are a possibility but still far from perfect (imagine using three very different development platforms all in one app), no debugging,
    - performance is not good if you use a lot of Spark components in your app,
    - Flash Builder is pretty bad as the development environment,
    - ActionScript3 is a poor, outdated language that encourages bad coding practices.
    I ruled out HTML5 frameworks for the same reason as you stated above. Last few months I've been working with Xamarin MonoTouch and I think it is perfect for my projects. 100% native UI experience, about 80% of the code is shared among the platforms, iOS, MacOSX, Android and Windows 8/RT are supported. Took me about 2 months to convert my 2Mb ActionScript Adobe AIR project to Xamarin MonoTouch (iOS). The entire process was fun and painless. Now thinking to port to MacOSX and Android. My iOS app is already at the App Store, no major complains so far.
    On a down side, Xamarin is expensive for an indie developer with low revenues. You need to pay $300 per year per each platform (iOS, Android, Mac). Plus, you need to develop UI layer separately for each platform, so only part of the code is shared. But I decided it is a way to go for my projects and it's been a very positive experience so far.
    As for my professional development, Xamarin offers quite a bit more as well. I get to work with C#, .NET, iOS SDK, Android SDK all in one platform. With Adobe tools you only get to know ActionScript and Flex/Spark framework. Very rarely I see that as a desired qualification. It is like a trap. Your boss tells you to develop a few projects with Adobe tools, it sucks you in for a few years and suddenly you realize that your market value declined dramatically and there is no easy way out of this mess.
