Using BrowserLab in DW 11.0 Build 4964, BrowserLab can't seem to work. Some not very intuitive places I have checked include making sure the signon credentials are in the CSLive window in DW.
In preview local/browser, the following messages are disappointing me:
Timed Out, Failed to Authenticate with Browserlab
Session Expired, See Browser
It is on a Mac, 10.6.7, using DW integrated testing. I can log into browserlab and put a public URL, but I don't think that's going to be much better for me than having VMWare and installing free browsers on Mac and Windows, and given the failures here that would be better for local file checks too. I write this because I wonder if I will be disappointed trying to get this to work and then find out I have to pay a yearly subscription to CSLive to be able to keep using it.
This is on a private URL and I can send the page source, but I don't think its the page that is causing the issue.
Expected results:
Able to preview page in any browser of my choosing
Actual results:
Spent the last two hours navigating help, googling possible solutions, getting many errors trying to navigate the Adobe help and forums, continually signing in on each adobe page I open. Expecting to have to reauthenticate to post this message. (Updated extension manager as well).

Hi,
First, there is no charge currently for using CSLive and there won't be any charge for another year.
Second, based on what you're saying about the behavior you're seeing with BrowserLab and the issues you had with continually having to sign onto the Adobe pages, it's a strong indication that you've got cookies disabled in your browser or that something on your machine is deleting/expiring the cookies we are trying to set. What browser/version are you using and what kinds of permissions have you got set for cookies in that browser? Can you check that and change your cookie permissions for Adobe.com at least?
Let me know if that helps or not,
Mark

Working with local files at c:\temp ...

Hi!
My report is working with local files (this is a must). I know that i can't use such a report in a planned job in the background. Are there nevertheless any options for me starting this report regularly in an automatic way? ...Perhaps on a pc which is always logged/switched on?
Thanks in advance!
Best regards,
Ingo

Hi,
why didn't you check the sy-batch (test if it's a background job) ?
use the DIR_TEMP of the SAP server when it's a background job.
to get the physical directory you could use this kernel function :
CALL 'C_SAPGPARAM' ID 'NAME' FIELD 'DIR_TEMP'
ID 'VALUE' FIELD searchpoints-dirname.
(dirname is a CHAR 75)

Working with Local Files

I have to develop a Web-Based application to run on each client's pc. Or, it could be to run on our intranet. This is for internal use only. The requirements are very simple:
1. Web-Based
2. Able to access local client's files
3. Able to upload files via FTP
4. Able to access a MySQL database to query some data
I recently developed a Desktop Application using Visual Basic 2008 Express .Net 3.5. It works ok. Application will look for .pdf files on a specific folder on C: drive, rename the files according to some user's input and database query result, then upload the renamed files to an FTP server. No problem. However, the company don't want a desktop application. So, my goal is to re-create the application using a new Rich Internet Application technology. I then, created a Windows User Control in VB.net 3.5 and embedded the .dll in an html page. This works great on my local development pc, however, it will have some security issues when I try to run it on our intranet. It seems like the control (Activex), will not allow access to the local files. I just need access to be able to rename files on C:, that's it. Then I came across Silverligt and Flex development software. But, after playing with flex for a little, noticed that Flex will not be my best choice to access and rename local files. Any suggestions about the technology that we should use?
Will I be able to accomplish this type of application using a Java Applet?
Thanks!

InsertHTML won't work with XML files

I am trying to create a command that writes text to an open
XML file. The command I've created works fine under some
circumstances but not others.
It works if I open an XML file and apply the command without
editing the file. If I make any edits to the file manually and then
apply the command, it doesn't insert anything.
It works fine with HTML files in design view, but in code
view, if I make any edits and then run the command, nothing
happens. If I switch to design view and back again, the command
then works fine.
I tested the built-in Dreamweaver command "Flash Text" on an
XML file (after editing it so it could be used with an XML file),
and the same problem occurs with this command when using it on an
XML file. The problem didn't occur with HTML in code view, though.
Below is the .JS file for my command. The corresponding HTML
file contains only an empty form.
function canAcceptCommand() {
return(true);
function isDOMRequired() {
return false;
function commandButtons()
return new Array( MM.BTN_OK, "cmdOK(); "
, MM.BTN_Cancel, "cmdCancel();");
function cmdOK()
var theDOM = dw.getDocumentDOM('document');
theDOM.insertHTML("test", true);
window.close();
function cmdCancel()
window.close();

I need a function, though, that will insert text at the
cursor location in an open file.
I'm also discovering that the command I created above
functions erratically even when it does deign to insert the text in
an XML file. The text is usually inserted somewher other than where
the cursor is located.

GetReceivedDate not working with local file

hello :)
im using this code to define a local file as MimeMEssage that i read in via StdIn.
     BasicConfigurator.configure();
     Session mailSession = Session.getInstance(new Properties());
             InputStream source = System.in;
              MimeMessage message = new MimeMessage(mailSession, source);This works very well and i can use all methods MimeMessage offers.
except one:
        Date maildate = message.getReceivedDate();i always get null here.
GetSentDate works fine.
and all the other get methods i tried.
when i fetch this mail via the javamaildir class i have no problems getting the receivedDate.
Does javamail need a real provider here?

Pop3 doesn't support for getReceivedDate method (Imap supported)
You can get received date on message's headers
This is my snip code
private static Date getDateHeader(javax.mail.Message msg) throws MessagingException {
Date today = new Date();
String[] received = msg.getHeader("received");
if(received != null)
for (int i = 0; i < received.length; i++) {
String dateStr = null;
try {
dateStr = getDateString(received);
if(dateStr != null) {
Date msgDate = parseDate(dateStr);
if(!msgDate.after(today))
return msgDate;
} catch(ParseException ex) { }
String[] dateHeader = msg.getHeader("date");
if(dateHeader != null) {
String dateStr = dateHeader[0];
try {
Date msgDate = parseDate(dateStr);
if(!msgDate.after(today)) return msgDate;
} catch(ParseException ex) { }
return today;
private static String getDateString(String text) {
String[] daysInDate = { "Mon", "Tue", "Wed", "Thu", "Fri", "Sat", "Sun" };
int startIndex = -1;
for (int i = 0; i < daysInDate.length; i++) {
startIndex = text.lastIndexOf(daysInDate[i]);
if(startIndex != -1)
break;
if(startIndex == -1) {
return null;
return text.substring(startIndex);
private static Date parseDate(String dateStr) throws ParseException {
SimpleDateFormat dateFormat ;
try {
dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("EEE, d MMM yy HH:mm:ss Z") ;
return dateFormat.parse(dateStr);
} catch(ParseException e) {
try {
dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("EEE, d MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss Z") ;
return dateFormat.parse(dateStr);
} catch(ParseException ex) {
dateFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("d MMM yyyy HH:mm:ss Z") ;
return dateFormat.parse(dateStr);

Javascript not working with local files

I am not able to get Firefox to execute javascript on local files. I have disabled all add-ons. The odd thing was, the first time I disabled all of the add-ons, it worked, then I re-enabled them one by one to see which one was causing the problem, it stopped, I disabled them all again so I could confirm that is was the add-on, and after that I have never been able to get any javascript to run.
I have tried multiple files, even the most basic one listed in the Javascript tutorials, no luck. Chrome and Opera have no problems.

Flash Preloader Not Working with Local Files?

Hello all,
I have created a digital resumé using a Flash
presentation. The presentation links to several SWF files that are
rather large. I have designed and implemented preloaders for the
files.
My intent is to burn the whole product to CD for
distribution. The problem I am having is that my Flash preloaders
work perfectly in FireFox; I click the button in the main
presentation and the preloader comes up in the target screen,
followed by the SWF.
However, the preloaders do not work at all in IE, which
leaves a black pane with nothing in it and causes the user to click
the button several times trying to figure out why nothing is
happening.
The Flash presentation that is being displayed is embedded in
a HTML document. The user clicks a button to load a SWF to a
separate screen; the preloader runs until the file is loaded.
Any help you could provide is appreciated.

I have attached the actionscript for the data connection. The
odd thing about this issue is some of the data is being displayed
from the webservice call and then some is not. The drop down list
is not being populated but I am getting some text in a textarea
that is on the form. My datasource is a SQL Server database and in
ColdFusion administrator, I used the actual machine name to point
to the datasource because it is directly linked to my web server.
This configuration is the one giving me problems. If I change the
datasource to my test SQL Server (server.somewhere.com) it works
fine. Does this help any?

Won't Work with .pages file

Hi,
I'm going to acrobat.com to try to convert my .pages file into a pdf but it says that it's not supported. What should I do?

Hello,
I'm sorry for the delay in responding to your inquiry.
It is correct that we don't yet support .pages files for PDF conversion. It is our long term goal to support as many file types as possible. For now, you could try converting your file to a supported file type and then converting to PDF using Acrobat.com.
Kind Regards,
Michelle

Safari won't work with CNN Pipeline and other sites all of a sudden?

Safari won't work with CNN Pipeline and other sites all of a sudden? A few weeks ago Safari was working OK but now I often have to use Firefox to visit certain webpages.
Anyone else having this same problem?
Is there a quick fix?
I'm using Safari 2.0.4
Thanks.

Hi QuickTimeKirk,
I have WMP version 9, as well. I do not use F4M, for many users f4mac is what helps.
I find some items work while others do not. I always get an alert about the wmp , which version it is, takes very long to load, I find it is not consistant with Safari, as seems the poster of this topic has found.

Working with .wmv files on my new Mac

Hi everyone,
I have some videos that I downloaded onto my older pc that I would like to use in iMovie. Does anyone know how I can edit and/or convert it into a format to use on my mac?
Thanks,
Karen

You can use the shareware program ReelBean to convert your .wmv to an mpeg-4 file (I think it does this in the free mode, but if not a license is $15), and then import that iMovie.
To view the .wmv files, you need the freeware Flip4Mac. I suspect you will need the components installed by Flip4Mac for ReelBean to work with wmv files - not sure, but it won't hurt to install it.
Hope this helps...

Latest version of Safari won't work with my version of OS.

I downloaded the latest version of Safari but it won't work with my version of OS (10.6.8). ***! It's pretty frustrating that my computer allowed me to download it without noticing it's not compatible--seems like a simple enough concept to check for that BEFORE effing someone up entirely.
How do i revert back to the old version of Safari? I was using Chrome but it's become impossibly slow.
Thanks!

When you click on the proxy icon for an asset, does the "Search All Jobs" view show a "downloading" message indicating that the proxy is being transferred to your local machine?
Also, what specific software versions (Quicktime and FCS) are you working with?

Calculator won't work with Snow Leopard

I recently upgraded to snow leopard (mac pro). Now when I try to use my calculator it says the version I have won't work with this version. I have looked for updates but it says I current. Do you know why?

I went into my application file and the updated calculator was in there. Once I moved it onto my dock the caculator works. I assumed it would update automatically when I upgraded my software; now I know. Thanks.

Apple Remote won't work with Logic

I bought a new iMac (3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo) and the Apple Remote won't work with Logic 8. It worked fine on my MacBook Pro.

jazzmaniac, I did something by holding down two buttons on the remote for a few seconds. I guess that is called registering. But when I try to play a song file in Logic, Front Row pops up instead.
I've searched the Internet and am finding little on this topic.

HT201250 My 10.7.3 Time Machine won't work with external disks. Worked fine with Snow Leopard, and even Lion 10.7.1

My 10.7.3 Time Machine won't work with external disks. Worked fine with Snow Leopard, and even Lion 10.7.1
I have tried everything, even buy new external disk from different manufacture.
If I cant get a fix soon, I am downgrading back to SnowL.

Still no luck. I tried all the tricks, reconfiguring TM (remove selected disk option, and re-setting it, and trying different disks). Tried new combo updater, and the newer TM update after that. Tired two different disks too (one is my older firewire WD MyBook 1TB, and my brand new 3tb Seagate GoFlex USB... either one plugged into back of computer - no intermediary devices). I did get the TM buddy wiget and it produced the following log, from the last attempt, where I setup lots of exclusions so that backup quantity was small (under 10gb). Still it failed to complete. Here is that log, for what it is worth:
Starting standard backup
Backing up to: /Volumes/TM-Disk/Backups.backupdb
9.56 GB required (including padding), 911.15 GB available
Waiting for index to be ready (101)
Copied 0 files (0 bytes) from volume Mac HD.
Backup canceled.
To prove a point, I will take these disks are run them on my other Tiger and Snow Leopard laptops to prove TM works fine on those with these disks. But I fear the only options are to either have my tech re-install LION... or just have him reinstall SL instead. Im at wits end.
