Bug & solution: DW8 not finding stylesheet

Back on 13th April, 2006, I posted a message below about DW8
not picking
up the stylesheet on a site I was managing in it. The same
problem
recurred with another site I've just created from scratch, so
this time I
set to tracking the bug down. Basically, the problem is with
DW8's
stylesheet parsing. It balks at tags within CSS comments. So
the
following will generate a problem:
body {
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 0.9em;
/* Background colour commented out to allow Javascript
background colour changer to work, as it can't overrule the
stylesheet.
bgcolor set in page <body> tag.*/
/* background: #fff;*/
color: #000;
Change the above by scratching <body> from inside the
comments to leave:
body {
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 0.9em;
/* Background colour commented out to allow Javascript
background colour changer to work, as it can't overrule the
stylesheet.*/
/* background: #fff;*/
color: #000;
and DW8 behaves as it should. This is annoying, as any code
parser should
completely ignore anything within comments. Anyway, I report
the problem
as a public service, so that the Macroserfs can squash it,
and the rest
of youse can be aware of it.

Message posted 13th April, 2006, subject "DW8 not finding
stylesheet":
Ok, here's Dreamweaver doing it again, driving me around the
bend. On one
particular site of mine, DW8 has suddenly decided not to see
the site
stylesheet, even though:
a) the files display fine in a browser and on the server
(www.eurocall-
languages.org)
b) the CSS link ref in the template page headers are fine
(otherwise (a)
would fail)
c) all my other sites are ok
I've just been moved to a new PC, from a previous PC where I
was using DW
MX. I exported my site definitions from MX as .ste files. I
imported them
into DW8 on the new machine. They're all in the Site Manager,
and the
settings haven't changed. The pages in those sites all appear
fine, apart
from this one site.
The HTML is fine. The CSS is fine. What's not fine is that DW
won't find
the CSS file. If I open a template, press Shift-F11 and link
to the CSS
file, which is sitting in the site root directory, when I
press Ok I get
the really helpful error message:
"An unexpected error occurred while trying to read
style-sheet
information"
If I try to preview the template file in a browser, I get the
even more
helpful error:
"An invalid argument was encountered"
Searching for either error message in the DW Knowledge Base
returns
nothing. The DW installation is fresh as a daisy off the
disk, and the
machine is a spanking new XP machine with nothing complicated
on it.
If I manually open the template file in a browser, though, it
displays
fine. So, there's something in the DW code on the pages in
this
particular site that DW8 is rejecting, even though DW MX had
no problems
with it at all (hell, the site was created in MX).
I would be grateful if someone could point me to possible
solution(s),
other than doing what I keep threatening to do, which is to
go back to
hard-core HTML/CSS coding in a programmer's file editor. The
only thing
that keeps me using DW is the site management capabilities
;-\. There are
times, happily not as frequent as they used to be, when the
perversity of
DW and its incomprehensible error messages drive me to
serious mouse and
keyboard abuse.

I put this into a new page -
body {font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 2.9em;
/* Background colour commented out to allow Javascript
background colour changer to work, as it can't overrule the
stylesheet.
bgcolor set in page <body> tag.*/
/* background: #fff;*/
color: #0F0;
and text that I enter on that page is huge and green. What's
the problem?

Is this a hack? or a BB bug? -- Could not find "end" on a telemarketer's call.

I get annoying calls from Telemarketers. Don't we all? So, I hang-up on them. Yesterday, when the auto-talking spiel started I went to press "end" and it disappeared! I went to the icon page but could not get the "phone" to load. Finally, I had to shutdown the cell to end the call. Was that a hack? Or is this a BB bug?

When you try and call through a linked phone number in an email the phone sometimes dials out without the ability of getting you to the dial pad to end calls. Super frustrating as you have to reboot to end a call. This is no constant but seems to happen frequently when I hit someones number from outlook.

Not a solution, but perhaps switching on Airplane Mode would be quicker than restarting the phone...

Please explain me, how to remove an usb stick or memory chip? With experiences only in pc:s, I do not find on my first apple e.g. MacBook Air a solution. Until now I have succeeded to destroy one chip full of photos and - there's no life more in the port...
Someone told me just to remove the chip in clicking it to the trash can and voilá - it would be done. But as I did so, on the screen appeared a text which let me know, that that way had been the wrong one...
I should have clicked Finder plus something.... which I do not now remember but which was then not found behind the Finder.
So please would someone be so kind and tell me, where I can find explanations for the most simple functions. The manual I got does not include a clue.
Thank you!

First make sure that no application is using or has open any files on the disk. Then:
Click and drag the disk icon on the desktop to the trash. Wait for the system to recognize the action, and the icon should disappear from the desktop. It is then safe to remove the device.
Alternatively, you can secondary click on the disk icon, and then primary click "Eject (name of disk)". Wait for the icon to disappear off the desktop, and then it is safe to remove the drive.
Here is a detailed help document on the subject.

Can't Find Solution for Could not find Digital Editions folder

I have checked many posts but I cannot get my ADE to work. I get the message "Could not find Digital Editions folder." I am running Windows 7 Enterprise. I have tried several solutions but the things they are talking about do not exist on my computer (D drive for instance). Can someone please, please, please help me or either direct me to the proper answer....

I don't know much about your efforts from your email - such as what you did
to install ADE and when, and whom you're talking to about your problem (ADE
or Microsoft). So, I'll have to wing an answer - and I hope it helps!
When ADE installs, it sets up an Adobe Digital Editions folder, which
contains the software and, by default, is installed on Drive C. If you
elected to install the software, but did not complete the installation, Win
7 will show you an icon but won't have the software to back it up. On your
desktop, right-click on the ADE icon, and click on Properties at the bottom
of the drop-down window. A small window should appear with the location of
the software. If it's empty, ADE was not installed properly. It should show
you a drive and folder.
So, if it's there, then what's next, you say. Something is wrong with the
registry if Win 7 won't open ADE and it shows up in the icon properties.

There is a bug in firefox that wants me to install programs every time I open firefox. How do I get it cleaned off. AVG Security did not find it.

Every time I start firefox there is another page in the backround that starts up and wants me to install software. I have updated to the newest firefox and latest AVG security software and scanned my whole computer and this bug is hid some where. I have scanned with firefox up and running and with it not running and did not find it. How can I get rid of it?

Hello Wyodor,
thanks for your reply on my question.
You are wright the index file is 308 KB.
And offcourse that I delete my files and documents is not an Iweb problem, but because my English is not that good, that I thougt I try to tell the whole story, and hope people can read trough the lines.
Why I didn't use Iweb to upload to the server is because the server company recommanded to use file zilla. And I am a nobody with this kind of things, so I did exactly what they tell me to do.
No, i did not make a backup of Iweb and the domain file, but reading other messages on this forum showed me that I can maybe try to make empty the cashfile (?)
and otherwise I have bad luck and have to make my website again. Offcourse I have a lot of examples from all the pages (copied from the local map to my USB stick) and my website is aprox. 15 Mb, (not so big) so it will cost me a few nigths.
But I'm still hoping on a miracle :-)
greetings Lasource
