Bold in css ignored in CS4

I have an html text field which use a style sheet to bold and
change text colour on roll over. This works fine when published
from CS3 but when the same file is published from CS4, the
font-weight:bold attribute is ignored. The text still changes
colour correctly.
Any ideas why this is happening?

I'm having the same problem. If instead of using the
font-weight attribute, I use font-family: "Verdana Bold" the bold
font appears correctly - which confirms that it's not a font
embedding issue (also tried with Arial, same outcome). So neither
the font-weight attribute in CSS or the tag works - same
for font-style (italic) and .

CSS problems in CS4 with multiple images on a page...

I seem to have a ton of questions going in this forum, sorry if it's painful.
Here's my latest issue.(DW CS4)
I created a blank html page and linked a CSS file to it. I dropped a bunch of images into the body and wrapped them in a div with an id of "thumbnails"
I clicked on my img tag right below the Design window and clicked the "new css rule" button in the CSS Styles window and gave my images a margin of 40 px. I clicked "OK" and my changes took effect in the Design window, but when I previewed it in the browser (Firefox and IE) none of the CSS was taking effect, all the images were still crammed together. Same thing for the "Live View" Button, I'm not sure what happened, or why the CSS won't take effect.
Can somebody help me?
Thanks all,
Aza

Help with Bold/Italic CSS in EPUB export

I generate EPUB files from the print version of my InDesign books. Because I want the best possible experience for readers on various devices, I always take time to clean up and optimize the XHTML and images, since I do understand that reflowable eBooks may not look exactly like their print-page counterparts. Plus, paring things down to basic HTML tags like div, p, em, and strong helps me prep the content for multiple targets, including Kindle or web page, and also helps ensure accessibility by allowing the user's device to handle em and strong instead of forcing those blocks to be italic or bold.
When InDesign exports text formatted as italic and bold, however, I don't get simple tags like ... and ..., I get ... and ....
It's always worked like that, which is fine—but in previous versions it was no big deal to replace all ... with ... (or ...). Since there was one idGeneratedStyles.css for the whole book, I could rely on the fact that N would always be the same style within a book (even if it varied from one book to another).
Now, with the supposed "more control over CSS," I find that there's a local CSS file generated for every document in the book! In one document, ... is bold, in another the same class means italic. This change has turned a 30 second process into 60 minutes, since I have to check each document one at a time to do the correct replacement.
Is there an option I'm missing? Is this a new feature-bug?
Am I an edge case?
[Edit: Simplified Title]

I did try replacing all italic text in the 30 documents or so with a new character style called "Italic;" I set the Export Tagging option for the style to em but the output I got was ...
That's still closer to what I need, since it's consistent, but definitely not what I was hoping for! I'm also not sure I want to remember to use the new "Italic" style instead of the near-instinctive keyboard shortcut for make this selection italic.

Disable css in dreamweaver CS4

Hello to all,
I'm having problems with the new version of dreamweaver 4 that I downloaded from adobe and I'm trying.
In the previous version of dreamweaver cs3 (general), and in preferences could be disabled ing the use of css, using only the html tags for font type face and color, and retrieve the css classes only when they wanted.
Now in the new version of CS4 but I can not find this option in the task bar properties as insert the font type and size, this also for other properties.
You know where you can disable the exclusive use of css?

Murray, I appreciate your expertise and helpfulness to thousands of people over the years.
Same sentiments for David Powers. Many thanks to you both over the years.
As for the "clutter" of, for instance, Tables.
I use tables only on rare occasions.
However, your question: What browsers are you hoping to support by taking such a stance?
HOPING TO SUPPORT?
Oh, you know, the popular ones in some far-flung part of the world.
It is simply that even the dumbest oldest browsers that are not sophisticated enough to apply CSS rules flawlessly are just smart enough to know what to do with old-fashioned inline styles, when used judiciously.
I use inline styles on rare occasions when I have been made aware that this wonderful UNIVERSAL STANDARD of CSS styling is itself just as buggy as any other protocol.
I have been designing since 1996. Been through all the browsers and platforms on the user side.
I have been using CSS stylesheets for the last 10 years.
As you well know Murray, a Google search will turn up countless, countless articles on how to HACK CSS.
If CSS were so inviolate and perfect then why are people STILL having to write HACKS?
HACKS FOR BROWSERS.
So, the hacks are intended to "support" individual browser flaws, bugs, or outright refusal to conform to another development team's interpretation of a particular CSS "Rule". Let alone the issue of the successive standards that ARE STILL being written to various flavors of CSS.
THAT, Murray, is why sometimes INLINE STYLES, instead of "cluttering" code with a gazillion CSS hacks designed to "support" all the major browsers and versions of those browsers, it is beautifully elegant, beautifully simple, to "clutter" the code with an inline style.
It is not my fault if this is made necessary from time to time.
I have seen instances where one browser will apply a paragraph definition differently than another also popular browser. And in the middle of the paragraph is one element that you want to break with the parent but it keeps inheriting the paragraph properties in one popular browser. So, hacks have to be written to after even new divs, classes, id's are used to breka the inheritance just long enough to accomplish a visual change. Inline styling works just about every time, without an hour or two trying to hack the CSS stylesheet for every conceivable browser in this instance.
Here is an example of CLUTTERING with INLINE STYLES right here in the Forum on the very page I am typing which is written by Adobe web design employees!
In the present forums.adobe.com page I am in:
Oh my goodness, KT Media --
the lowest form of inline styling invented at the beginning of HTML
and NOW you can apply a global, if you wish, definition of ""
But, why didn't they give it a separate style class such as ?
Welcome, <a title="Click to view your profile" href="/people/KT%20Media">KT Media</a> (<a href="/logout.jspa">Log out</a>)

Background-color css ignored?

Hi there.
I am designing the layout for a new site, but for some reason, on my footer the background colour is being ignored by browsers.
I have checked in firebug and it doesn't even appear in the style window as having a background color property, but my CSS file definately has.
The site is http://www.hwaassociates.co.uk/home.html
I have attached the css file to this post.
Basically, its the footertop and footer divs in the html page that aren't bringing the background colours through.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Craig

I wish I had a good pair of eyes!
I can't believe I missed that! I've even got it right further up in the other div's in the CSS.
Thanks very much to you both for the replies. What an amateurish mistake to make!
Regards,
Craig
p.s. Vikrish21 - did you have any luck with my issue last night with the heights of the hover effect for my menu?

Bold in CSS doesn't display in IE7

I have created content using external CSS, the Bold in the
head1 displays properly within Dreamweaver and in Firefox, but not
in IE7. All other styles; font size, color display properly. Any
suggestions?

<head1>...</head1> -- seems it´s a new tag I
never heard of ;-)
I´d do it this way :: changing the CSS to:
#content p.head1 { /* defining a class for a certain
paragraph */
font-weight: bold;
and attaching the class to the paragraph::
Real Medicine Foundation / Jeevan
Jyoti Health Service Society (JJHSS)

India

works better ?

Installing Outlook 2007 HTML & CSS Validator in CS4

Hi everyone,
I have installed the Outlook 2007 HTML & CSS validator but when I go to look at the target browser list nothing appears.
The path that the tool was installed to is: C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Dreamweaver CS4\configuration\BrowserProfiles
Does anyone know if it will work with CS4? I have scoured Google and these forums to no avail.

The path is correct. Try restarting DW, then go to the Browser Compability window and see if it is there to enable in the Settings. If DW was running it will not appear until it is restarted.

Faux bold doesn't work in CS4

In CS3, I can create a clip with 2 dynamic text fields - fld1
is say, Myriad Pro and fld2 is Myriad Pro with faux bold turned on
from the properties panel. I can then do...
fld1.htmlText = Bold text
and fld1 text appears in bold text because the faux bold font
was embedded in fld2.
CS4 doesn't have a faux bold, and when I go to the text menu
and choose bold, it doesn't faux bold fld2, it actually changes the
text to Myriad Pro Bold. The bold tag no longer works, neither does
the strong tag. I can, however, use font face tag and set it to
Myriad Pro Bold, and now fld1 will show up bold.
Now let's say I want to put all my text content in an
external XML file so the client can update it and I don't want to
have to explain the inner workings of Flash and tell them that they
can't use the bold tag, they have to use the font face tag and set
it to some random name that I come up with for the bold font
library symbol (in case we don't want to use Myriad in the future).
Do I really have to set up a function to examine strings for
the bold tag and replace it with the font face tag? Is there really
no way to get the bold tag to work?

Hi monkeeboy
Wow, this has had me really thinking hard and doing a lot of testing and I think I have the answer.
Believe it or not my posted example is actually working. That said, there is an issue.
The way Flash renders the bold version of the font is almost imperceptible. You can see this if you zoom in on the Flash file in the Flash Player.
I also tested it with the italic face and it works fine and is much clearer to see. In the images you posted it is also working but looks more like the font is a slightly different color, as I said almost imperceptible.
I have added 2 screen grabs below (both taken with the font turned off in the system), one with the swf at its normal size and the other zoomed in by control clicking on the swf and selecting zoom in. It is quite clear in the zoomed in one that Flash is using the corect versions of the font and they are being correctly accessed in HTMLtext using and . However, I agree, the way Flash renders the bold face is not bold enough and also not consistent.
So the problem really is the way Flash renders embedded fonts, especially bold faces. I have realised this is more of a problem than I thought as I did a test and found it varies a lot.
If you create a static text field using the embedded bold font, a static text field using the bold face without embedding the font, and using the method I described earlier, the rendered weight is different every time. This is something I am going back to the team with to look at.
One thing that might help you int the future is that with Flash Player 10 we have included a seperate and new text engine that is based on the Adobe text engine found in apps like InDesign. This is finally a trully high end text engine that supports a huge list of features and renders beautifully. To access it currently in Flash CS4 you have to use ActinScript, however on Labs, we have added a beta version of the Text Layout Framework component - http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/textlayout/ This provides an interface in Flash to implement the new feature.
Cheers

DW CS4 - Your thoughts!

Hi, I currently own DW CS3 but find it not very user friendly. I am looking at DW CS4 but I was wondering if it is any more like Golive than DW CS3 or if it makes designing websites any more intuitive. Also is it easier to create CSS in DW CS4?
Those of you who have made the transition from DW CS3 to DW CS4 tell me your thoughts fro the perspective of a GL user.
Thanks!

DWCS4 is better UI-wise than DWCS3 is. I've used GL since version 1 pre-adobe and still do, stick to GCS2, as I've not had the proper time to migrate sites and am waiting for MenuMachine in its next version.
DW still (talking about CS4) has a long way to go before it comes to par with GoLive when it comes to smart objects (only have them for Photoshop files) and sitemanagement, but apart from that it is quite OK.
As always when switching applications there is a threshold of learning and getting used to before becoming comfortable in the new application, but the basics of DW and GL are not all that different. it is all html and css under the hood no matter hwo you look at them. Personally I am waiting for MenuMachine before doing the migration. But I am more ready to do it with CS4 than I was with CS3.

AE CS4 Crashes.... on exit/quit (MAC OSX 10.5.5)

This isn't really a big issue, but it's annoying because it didn't do it the first several uses of CS4, then all of a sudden... everytime I quit the program normally, it just says AE has crashed, and asks me if I want to relaunch or ignore. CS4 works great, but it just crashes when I quit the program... anyone have any ideas?

The more people they hear from the more priority it will receive to get fixed.

just for clarification: when did 9.0.1 has been released?

ok people, make your bets, time is short, climb the ladder...
if fixing issues is a "priority game" on how high the quotas jump at the billboards of the Adobe Headquarters, you can count me out of this game. i don´t like to play the cards this way.

Inserting fireworks html into dreamweaver css

I have been using Fireworks CS4 to design layouts and export CSS into Dreamweaver CS4, which works just fine.
I want to import a Fireworks HTML pop-up menu in my CSS based Dreamweaver page. I have used Fireworks Export HTML and Dreamweaver's insert Fireworks HTML in the past but the pop-up behaviours are lost when I import it into a template that is CSS based. I figure I'm missing something simple, as usual.
Can the two be mixed? Do I need to edit the code view and insert a DIV manually or something? Can I just link to it with css somehow?
Getting rather frustrated now!

I had a lengthy reply written for this but lost it when I was logged out - seems the forum has a bit of a problem at the moment (at least for me !).
I'm not up to re-writing it all again, but in essence, I agree totally with Nancy, do not use html generated by Fireworks or any graphics program for that matter. If you were to ask the same question over at the FWs forum, you would be told the same thing, exporting HTML and CSS is ok for protypes, but not for live production sites.
TAKING FIREWORKS COMP TO DREAMWEAVER:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/dw_fw_css_pt1.html
The rule of thumb is to design the layout in FWs but build the site in Dreamweaver. The Spry menus are much better than the old popup menus, but the customisation of them does depend on your knowledge of CSS.
Customizing a Spry Menu:

There are many websites that show how to use CSS to create nicely styled menus, including Dropdowns and I'm sure with a lot less code bloat :-)

Keyboard shortcuts not working Dreamweaver CS4

I have done quite a bit a searching, but I have not found a solution. When I am working on a file, Ctrl+S does not allow me to save.
I have tried deleting the menu configurations to no avail.
I am using Vista 64 bit.

Is this archive thread about Saving with the new Related Files feature in CS4 relevant to your issue?

If not, can you provide more info about your issue? e.g. reproducible steps?
