BL.htm file missing

Windows7 64-bit
Dreamweaver CS5 Version 11.0 Build 4993
All was working fine until today, when I got "Unable to find file BL.htm in Configuration/Floaters directory. The floater will not be shown."
After trying to find the missing BL.htm file, I uninstalled DW CS5 and reinstalled it and get the same error message.
The program is updated.
How do I fix this?

Hi John,
As you can probably tell, I am a real 'tyro' with DW.
I did Google the error message first. That is how I was directed to your #2 suggestion, and got me to post the question in this forum.
I read the forum post you suggested before I posted my question, and saw that it didn't apply to my set of circumstances. I am using Win7 64-bit and the 'fix' offered there didn't work.
However, your first suggestion gave me enough info to steer me right to a 'fix'!
I hit Window> Workspace layout> Reset and got the same error message when I restarted DW. 
Then I hit Window> Workspace layout> Coder and got EXACTLY what I wanted for the layout, and when I closed DW and then restarted it, ...NO ERROR MESSAGE!  woo-hoo!
Thank you for your time, your help and your sage advice.
And now, back to building a website!

  • Missing Index topics, links and .htm files

    I hope someone can help with this, as I am very frustrated
    right now. I normally use RoboHelpX5, but have also tried this in
    RoboHelp7.
    If I generate a Winhelp2000 version of our help system,
    everything appears normal. All of the specified index keywords are
    there, all of the links are there, etc.
    But if I generate either HTML or WebHelp versions using the
    same source, as I'm supposed to be able to, for some reason:
    1. Index entries for certain topics disappear from the list.
    If I manually add the topic to the index again and save, then
    regenerate the help files, the topic is still missing from the
    index.
    2. The hyperlinks for the missing items in #1 above do not
    appear. The original text is there, but there is no hyperlink. If I
    try to add a hyperlink again, the topic appears in the list, but
    once I regenerate the help files, the link disappears again.
    3. The individual .htm file for the missing items in #1 above
    are not being generated.
    Is there some reason why these topics are being dropped from
    the html and webhelp versions of the help system? Is there some
    sort of topic formatting or setting I am missing? I have tried to
    compare working topics vs. missing topics, and cannot find anything
    different in my Word document formatting.
    I have tried creating a completely different help system,
    using clean documents with no RoboHelp formatting, and consistently
    have problems with the same topics. I even tried on another
    computer that had never had RoboHelp on it before. That didn't make
    any difference. The topics were still missing from the index, the
    hyperlinks to those topics were still missing, and the individual
    .htm files were not generated.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Hi,
    I ran into the same problem today with some top level Index
    entries not showing up in WebHelp. I discovered how to fix it by
    comparing the entries that did show up with those that didn't. If
    an entry had a topic associated with it, it showed up; if it has a
    cross-reference, it doesn't.
    Double click an Index entry in the Index pane (or right click
    and choose Properties), then clear the Cross-reference checkbox.
    Repeat for each entry that has a cross-reference instead of a
    topic. There may be a global way to fix them all, but I haven't
    found it yet. Then recompile your help, Voila!
    Hope this helps....

  • Files missing in Project Manager pod

    Yesterday, I installed RH8 HTML on my new Win 7 computer.  I then copied over from my old Win XP machine all my files related to a specific help project.  When I use Windows Explorer to review a list of all the .htm files I've copied over, they all are there.  However, when I open the project in RH8 on my new computer and view a list of the .htm files that are in a particular folder in the Project Manager pod, some of the .htm files are missing.  Curiously, if I open the TOC for the project and click a topic that references one of the "missing" files, RH8 opens the file and I can edit it in the usual way.  That indicates to me that the file really is where it is supposed to be and RH8 can find it.  Nonetheless, the filename is missing from the Project Manager pod.  What's more, when I want to insert a hyperlink, the filename is missing from the list of .htm files to which I can link.  This is a problem, obviously.
    I should note that RH on my old computer is version 8.0.1.204 and RH on my new computer is 8.0.0.203.  Hard to believe that would be the issue, but thought I should mention it.  Also, the files that are missing have similar names to files that are not.  For example, reportCheckDataMailmerge is missing but reportCheckDataMailmergeSee is not.
    I would be grateful for any suggested fixes.

    Thank you for the advice and the quick response.  I've applied the two patches, 8.0.1 first, 8.0.2 second, to RH on my Win 7 machine and now opened a backup copy of my project.  To my disappointment, files are still missing from the Project Manager pod. I've tried opening restored backup copies of my project a couple times just to be sure I was opening clean files that have been previously touched only in 8.0.0.  No luck.
    After reading the description of the issues these patches are designed to fix, like you I was pretty confident that the patches would be the answer.  Any additional suggestions?

  • Why did my index.htm file generate blank? and other weirdness.

    Here's the story. Maybe someone can tell me where I made my mistake, or what happened. I'm numbering the steps for convenience in discussing this.
    1) I started a new project, a WebHelp project.
    2) I imported content in Word.
    3) I created an index, glossary, and TOC. I used wizards for some of this.
    4) I created a style sheet and applied it to all the topics.
    5) I added a skin from the gallery.
    6) I generated output.
    Then I sent that output to the UI developer on my project. He plugged it in to the web app, and it seemed to work fine. So then:
    7) I opened the project, edited the text, and removed glossary links (because I didn't like how they were working) individually.
    8) I generated a new TOC to match the changed topic structure (minor changes).
    9) I generated another output.
    I sent that output to the UI developer and he said it was blank. I opened index.htm and sure enough, it was indeed blank. In fact, it was Zero KB. I also noticed that four other files were blank: whfform.htm, whform.js, whskin_plist.htm, and whtbar.js.
    So then I decided to start over. I created a new project, imported just the html topic files from the old project, redid the index (in a  hasty and less thorough manner), decided to bail on the glossary for now, did a TOC and sent that to the developer.
    Now the Search pane is totally wonky, showing a list of characters and terms.
    So I am getting frustrated. The developer has tried monkeying around with stuff on his end, but it's not working. So he says, why don't you send me a build with everything?
    The problem is, I have two broken builds. The first one, which for whatever reason has the blank index.htm file (and other blank files), and the second one, which has no glossary, a messy index, and a screwed up search.
    I can't seem to find anyone else having this problem. :-/  Can someone help? 
    Thanks so much,
    Tamarleigh

    I am having the exact same problem, and I think I've figured out what is happening here. There is an issue when mapping Word styles into RH. The person who setup our Word template included a sidehead with conditional text to hide instructor notes when printing participant training manuals. I removed the conditional text, and everything is working fine. You may want to double check to make sure you don't have conditional text in your Word docs. I've uploaded an image with the code below to show how the conditional text looked when the document was linked and generated.
    Check out the code below:
    <table cellspacing="0">
              <tr>
                        <td style="vertical-align: top; padding-left: 0px; padding-top: 0px;
                                   padding-right: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px;" height="800" width="114"><table

  • Renaming the index.htm file

    Folks - I welcome some help on this one!
    I'm running RoboHelp 9, and authoring a help system for a dev group whose buildmeister has requested I rename (if possible) RoboHelp's compiled 'index.htm' file to something else, so as not to conflict with another index.htm file that apparently is part of this software build. I'm assuming this can't be done as a simple File Explorer 'rename', but needs to be defined within the project prior to compiling fresh output. However, I can't find a setting for to accomplish this, and, frankly, don't even know if it's necessary (or possible).
    best,
    Lumpy

    Hello again, Lumpy
    In looking at this thread the following thought occurs to me. If your developer is wanting you to rename your start page, it likely means that your WebHelp is just plopped in with other content. And if that's the case, I'd have to think things are severely disorganized. Normally the help sits in its own folder that is separate from whatever application it supports.
    I know that often developers suffer the God complex and don;t fathom any possibility they are wrong, but it might be worth asking some questions about the arrangement.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Site edit not recognizing index.htm file

    Going through the Site/Edit function to change server
    information, DW told me it can't find the index.htm file. Waiting
    on more information from the host - beside the new IP address, the
    password has been changed and the upload path.
    While I'm waiting on that info want to make sure there's not
    something on my end that could be wrong. The file is in the root
    directory, the name has not changed, and the default file extension
    is set to .htm. Is there something I could have done to cause this?
    The site's been up for years, and I last changed it successfully
    last month or the month before.

    > it can't find the index.htm file
    No, it's telling you that you haven't told it which file is
    your home page.
    Find it, right click, and choose "Set as Home Page". Bada
    bing, bada boom.

  • I received a gift card and when I redeemed it an error message said that I had some itunes files missing and that I needed to reinstall itunes.  Will I still have all my credits when I download itunes?

    I received an online gift card for Father's Day.  When I tried to redeem the gift then I received a error message saying I had some itune files missing and I needed to reinstall/download itunes.  Will I still have my previous purchase credits after downloading and reistalling itunes? 

    You will, because the credited funds are on your iTunes account, not the application. When you reinstall iTunes just configure it with your old iTunes account and your credits will be there waiting for you.

    Try rebuilding your iTunes Library:
    (This will cause all devices to see your library as a "new" library)
    1. Open iTunes.
    2. File>LIbrary>Organize Library: Consolidate Files.
    -This process may take some time.
    3. Quit iTunes.
    4. Browse to your iTunes Folder.
    5. Drag the files to the desktop, but leave the folders in place (folders will be iTunes Media, Album Artwork, Previous iTunes Libraries)
    6. Open iTunes.
    7. File>Library>Import Playlist.
    8. Direct iTunes to import the "iTunes Library.xml" that is sitting on your desktop.
    9. Once the process is complete attempt to resync your iPod.

  • Help needed in tokenizer of bookmark.htm file

    i created a small program that reads bookmark.htm file from ie6 or ff
    and then i try to tokenize the buffer and get the urls one after one
    but the output result is not good.
    what do i have to do to tokenize it and get url after url?
    the program:
    import java.io.*;
    import java.util.StringTokenizer;
    public class Url2 {
    public static void main(String[] args)
    File inputFile = new File("d:bookmark.htm");
    StringBuffer strCheck = new StringBuffer();
    int data;
    String searchBol = "<A HREF=\"";
    String searchEol = "<DT>";
    String currentToken;
    try{
    FileInputStream inFile = new FileInputStream(inputFile);
    while( (data = inFile.read()) != -1)
    //System.out.print( (char)data );
    strCheck.append( (char)data );
    inFile.close();
    }catch(IOException e){}
    StringTokenizer st =
    new StringTokenizer( strCheck.toString(), searchEol );
    while ( st.hasMoreTokens() ) {
    currentToken = st.nextToken();
    System.out.println( currentToken );
    }// end main
    }//end class Url2

    StringTokenizer does not what you expect it to do. It will always just use single-character token-seperators. When you pass the String "<DT>" to it's constructor '<', 'D', 'T' and '>' will all work as token seperators, which is most likely not what you want it to do. Consider using Regular Expressions or good old indexOf() .

  • Music files missing/hidden in folder on network hdd

    Hi all,
    I have setup my home net work with a iMac (mountain Lion) backed up by a TimeCapsule and at the back of the TimeCapsule I have a 2TB networked external HDD. My iTunes library is located on this HDD, I take care not to start up iTunes before this networked external HDD has propoerly mounted to avoid any conflicts with links to my itunes library files and folders.
    The other day I noticed a few missing files (the dreaded exclamation mark !), not too bad a figured, I located a few manually but reached some that does my head in...... Out of the whole album there are two files "missing", the other ones play as they should. When I try and locate the missing files the folder comes up empty.....
    I have even checked the songs that do play in the same album....they dont show up either, even though they still play in iTunes (yes, they are all located at the same location). The album was originally ripped from a CD and I don't use iTunes Match or Genius.
    I have tried to find the files by:
    1."open in finder" - files missing / whole folder empty
    2."through finder and located the drive and folder" - files missing / folder empty
    3."copy file location from "get info" and paste into "go to folder" - the file temporarily appears in the finder window but dissapears shortly after / folder yet again empty.
    4. I check the folder "get info" from my finder and it says "zero bytes"
    5. I can't use Search because its on an external HDD and there fore not indexed
    6.I have tried to copy the folder to the desktop but still shows empty....
    7. I have tried to "organise" my library, still no change.
    What the..xxx..is happening..?
    From what I can gather, the files are actually there but not visible through the finder window (even though the folder appears to be 0 bytes).
    The problem being that I can't locate my missing files because I cant see them any more......
    Am I missing something (like show hidden folder on a Mac) or has it got to do with anything else...? How can I fix it..? I have found posts that relate to windows users forced their W7 to show hidden folders but nothing yet on Mac.....
    Help.
    //Fred

    I was lucky to be able to use a PC, that after trying numerous times actually read the external hdd, I quickly copied all files over to a backup hdd and recovered all files. After that I ended up in contact with Western Digital about the incident and they recommended to completely erase (7-pass erase) of the hdd, which ended up taking over 5 days to do. They gave me no reason as to "Why" it would have happened but if I erase and reformatted of the hdd and the problem reoccurred they recommended to get the unit replaced.
    I was lucky to recover all my files.....keep trying on different computers if you can, and copy what you can get hold of. The 7-pass erase will delete pretty much every trace of information on the hdd with no chance of recovery.
    So far since the incident its been running ok but I not longer trust the hdd to be stable. Not a simple nor quick process / solution I'm afraid.
    Good luck!
    Once you have recovered your files (or as many as you can get hold of) and ready to erase the hdd:
    (THIS WILL ERASE ALL YOUR DATA, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A BACKUP BEFORE PROCEEDING)
    Connect the drive directly to the Mac, open Disk Utility.
    Select the drive and click on the "Erase" tab Select the "7-times zeros" to completely erase the drive.
    Once the erase have completed format the drive to your selection.
