Not exactly.
"How people interact with the internet" is the main problem with those old versions of DW.
Right now, massive numbers of people use handheld devices, in an insane variety of sizes, to go online. Those devices didn't exist when DWCS3 came out. In the time between CS3 and now, life was made easier (or more difficult, depending on how you look at it) for developers by the introduction of Media Queries to present the website's information in a way that feels natural to the user of, well, really any given device. You "could" design for literally dozens of device sizes using the same html and css file. Old versions of DW simply don't understand media queries in any way and the display you end up with in Design View is completely unusable.
The code produced by the old versions is still "technically valid" but is most definitely antiquated to the point where creating a truly modern site, meant to be viewed by both desktop and mobile viewers, and offering the best user experience possible based on the device used, is very, very difficult.

  • Dreamweaver CS3 in Vista 64 and Windows 7

    I am running Dreamweaver CS3 on Vista 64 and Windows 7 Pro for about 2 months now.
    When I go to set up a new Site Definition and select a Local root folder, I find I have to go down an extra directory in order to get Dreamweaver to select the directory I want as root. (example: have to select the image directory).
    Windows 7 is out officially now, I wonder if this problem has been fix in CS4, and how CS4 preforms on Windows 7.
    I have been hodling off upgrading to CS4 for a year now, since Adobe has not make any statements about Windows 7 support.  If adobe has release some statements, can someone point me to the statement?
    What is the possible release schedule for CS5, I am thinking May 2010?

    That's as good as anyone else's guess.
    CS: Sep 2003
    CS2: April 2005 (19 months)
    CS3: April 2007 (24 months)
    CS4: Oct 2008 (19 months)
    CS5:  May 2010 would be 19 months - but only Adobe knows the real date.

  • Can Acrobat XI be installed on a Windows PC where CS4 (which includes Acrobat Pro 9) is installed?

    Can Acrobat XI be installed on a Windows PC where CS4 (which includes Acrobat Pro 9) is installed?
    I have previously been told by Adobe tech support that the applications included in CS4 cannot be upgraded individually, and my guess would be that Acrobat XI and Acrobat Pro 9 cannot coexist on the same machine.  But I wanted to check and make sure.

    Sounds as though you're trying to install Dreamweaver CS3 on
    Mac OS X
    10.3 or earlier. CS3 requires OS X 10.4 as a minimum. It
    won't install
    on earlier versions.

  • InDesign CS3 Version installed on a Windows 7 64bit laptop

    My InDesign CS3 will not connect to the internet while installed on my Windows 7 64bit laptop. Is this a compatibility issue. Has anyone else experienced this problem. I have read a view forums now and there is some discussion to this having happened to others. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I spent several hundred dollars on InDesign and Dreamweaver CS3 and used the software with no problem previously on my XP Professional Desktop.
    When I stopped using the desktop, I deactivated the software and removed it from the desktop and installed it on my laptop.

    Larry -- I didn't even know that that was possible, so no, I don't think that that's the case.
    losborne -- My version is 5.0.4. That version number is displayed in the start-up splash screen. If you then go to the Help menu and hold down the Ctrl key when you click 'About InDesign' in the Help menu, you can see the build number, which on my system is 5.0.4.682. I'm pretty sure that I was always up to date. Don't worry if you're not entirely up to date, by the way.

  • CS3 Re-install on New Windows 7 Upgrade at Restart stops Internet connection

    I upgraded to Windows 7 from XP (reformated disk/HP computer). I re-install MS Office, Quicken & other software and my internet connection works fine. On re-installing CS3 Web Premium, I maintain the ability to connect to internet up to the FINISH/FINISH & RESTART screen. With a restart, I loose the ability to see the internet. If I un-install CS3 and restart, my internet connection is restored. If I install all but Photoshop, Dreamworks, Illustrator, or Fireworks, I can goe cleare through the RESTART and still have my internet connection. If I install any of the four, I still have internet connection up to the  FINISH/FINISH & RESTART screen. At restart I loose my internet connection. Customer Service/Tech Support has no solution. Something must happen in the installation program at restart to reset some settings pointion to the internet but I known not what. Any ideas?

    An Update on internet connection problem.
    In addition to all of the things I have tried, I installed m
    cafee total protection on this computer (firewall component)
    and it still acted the same. I believe the problem is in deed the program a
    nd how it interrelates with the domain
    . That would make it appear that
    DW CS4 is suspect. I have a case report into Adobe.

  • Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 Silent Install

    I have followed adobe's instructions on how to perform a

    Hmm. That sounds a rather lame response. Not your fault, of
    course, but
    if Adobe gives instructions for silent install, their
    technical support
    people should be able to provide you with assistance. I'll
    try to draw
    this to someone's attention to see if you can get an answer.

  • Can I use Dell install disk containing Windows for Bootcamp & Mac?

    The only Windows disk I have is what came on the Dell install disk with the Dell PC. Can I use this copy of Windows after I perform the BootCamp division? I have one small prgm (PC only) and need to figure out a cost effective way. Can I mess up BootCamp or the division easily? I've been warned that it can be tricky dividing up the hard drive. Is this true?

    Hi Donna,
    for PC-to-Mac switcher Apple provides a great tutorial with Switch101 http://www.apple.com/support/switch101/ and of course Mac101 http://www.apple.com/support/mac101/
    I used both when I made the switch myself 3 years ago.
    Microsoft has a so-called runtime version of Access, which can be used if the complete Access program is not needed to run a Database file.
    Seems like the program you use comes with this runtime file, so you don't have to use/buy Office.
    Since VirtualBox is an OSX application and the installation of Windows is done inside VirtualBox, your OSX system/computer is in no danger, when you try it.
    But with all Windows computer, you might consider using a Anti-Virus program when running Windows, regardless whether you use the Internet with Windows or not.
    Just the fact that you are im-/export files from/to Windows computer can be harmful, if these files are infected.

  • Can dreamweaver (CS3) play the middleware between flash AIR as 3.0 and MSSQL

    I have developed a Flash AIR AS3 form, 7 input text fields, one submit button. I know that Flash can't communicate with a server unless a PHP script is in the middle. Sadly, I am on microsoft sql server 2008 not mySQL. Does anybody out there, know of a tutorial that will teach me how to write the php script in dreamweaver to act as the middleware so AIR will send the data from the text fields to the database on the MSSQL. The goal of this is a learning experance, nothing more, I have never tried to talk to a server or database before....SO i beg please be gental, with me.
    thank you all.

    You can't declare the same variables/function more than once in a given timeline.  That's what all the errors are telling you.  The two options that Rob identified will work. 
    What you can do is extend the actions frame for the length of the occupied timeline so that variables/functions you declare in frame 1 are available in all frames along the timeline.  To do this, you have the code in keyframe 1 and go to the end of the timeline and choose the command to Insert Frame.  You should see the timeline between the first frame and the last becomes one large white frame area.
    I will often have two layers dedicated to actionscript.  One for the code that lives in frame 1 that gets shared along the timeline's length, and another for the commands that are specific to certain frames only.
    If you need need text to appear/type-out in different frames then you just call the function that performs the typing while sending it the text that it needs to type.  If you need to type it into a different textfield, then you could pass that to the typing function as well so that it targets the desired textfield.

  • Can't download and install Acrobat on Windows Vista

    Hey there,
    I hope that someone could help me. I bought a subscription for Adobe Acrobat yesterday evening. Now I tried to download the software from this page: https://cloud.acrobat.com/acrobat. And it failed - saying that "i don't have the right language or platform / stage" - . But I checked the standards on my computer before. I got Windows Vista Service Pack 2 (they say i need minimum Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 3). Central processing unit, Hard Disc and RAM are also ok.
    So - I really don't know what to do right now - sitting here since hours trying to make it work.
    Thanks for your help,
    Monika

    Thanks a lot for your answer. But: What the fxxxxx - that is really one of the worst offer of a service I've ever seen. So I have to check if I could update or "downgrade" my Computer System. Otherwise I have to cancel my order.
    Wish you a good Sunday.

  • We just bought an old copy of dreamweaver cs3. will this work with windows 7? do we have to buy an update?

    It's going to be outdated as soon as you start. DWCS3 has no support for html5 semantic mark-up, css3 (barely css2) and anything regarding Responsive Web Design techniques.
    It's just too old.
    If you don't plan to make your site using any of the current techniques, or plan on major amounts of hand coding, it should work fine though.
