Can dreamweaver cs5 support asp?

Hi
I don't usually work with asp and wondered if Dreamweaver cs5 could support making changes to a classic asp page? Years ago it used to be that you could not open an ASP page in dreamweaver or it would overwrite the database strings.
Do I need to do anything to Dreamweaver to create / amend asp pages in CS5 ? Does it support ASP?
thanks
Jane

It must have been many, many years ago. I've been using DW since MX and it never did that.

It depends. Are the existing pages using DW server behaviors? Which programming language is being used?

Can Dreamweaver CS5 connect to MySQL via ODBC?

I am unable to make a direct connection to an external MySQL database because most hosting provider does not allow this type of connection due to security reasons. I am however able to make an ODBC connection to the database (which I am currently using to connect filemaker to our MySQL database).
How can I tell Dreamweaver CS5 to connect via the ODBC driver so I can see the MySQL content in my Dreamweaver project?
I am on a Mac running OS X 10.6.4.

You can't - at least not if you want to use Dreamweaver's server behaviors. Dreamweaver uses the original PHP MySQL extension. If you want to connect in any other way, you need to hand code everything yourself.
On the other hand, if you want to see the contents of your remote database in Dreamweaver, define your remote server as the testing server. Dreamweaver uploads a hidden folder to the remote server to connect to the database. Because the script is on your remote server, it's local to the MySQL database, so gets round the security issue. It then sends the details to your local computer.
A better solution, though, is to establish a local testing environment. It's more responsive and much more secure. http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/setup_php.html.
By the way, the failure to get a reply is due, in part, to posting your question in the wrong forum. The forum for issues related to PHP/MySQL and other server-side technologies is http://forums.adobe.com/community/dreamweaver/dreamweaver_development.

Can dreamweaver cs5.5 create a user login for a website when there has been no coding to do so?

Hi everyone...I'm having a little problem and it's blowing my mind...I created my web
site using dreamweaver cs5.5, the free download, and I uploaded the site to the web.
However, my site is asking for a username and password to get into it. I've been searching
the web for answers and asking everyone I know, and haven't found one that is helpful. I've
been reading that the user actually needs to create the page for this to happen, which I did
not. I don't know much about cold fusion, but it seems like this is the way to create the
dialogue box, which again I did nothing of the sort. Please if anyone can help me, that
would be awesome...thanks.

ok...so here's a link to my website http://www.axeinthearm.com ...if you open it in explorer it won't let you close the window, so
check it out in firefox...I didn't install any wordpress or drupal...I have also contacted my web host provider and they
said it must be something with the program I made the site in...I have also tried deleting the files and reuploading them and
still the same thing...further, in the creation of the site I used photoshop with slices...this is really confusing...any suggestions?

HTML 5 and CSS 3 Support In Dreamweaver CS5

I cannot find any information on this web site about whether and how Dreamweaver CS5 supports HTML 5 and CSS 3. There are lots of other fancy high-end whiz-bang technologies highlighted in CS5, but without support for HTML 5 and CSS 3, Adobe has left a great big hole in the middle of the new Dreamweaver. If I'm going to have to code these by hand, then there's little incentive for me to upgrade from CS4. Adobe may, by this oversight, intend to extend the useful life of Flash, but if this is so it's penny wise and pound foolish. There is much to like about Flash - and much to dislike about how it works on the user side. Leaving these problems unresolved hurts Flash, and leaving HTML 5 and CSS 3 support out of Dreamweaver hurts Dreamweaver. In other words, this is a lose-lose strategy.

Hi Scott
Sorry for the delay in replying, but I turn my internet connection off when working, otherwise I have found I tend to do more research than work.
Media-Queries:
I had viewed the video on the possible implementation of media-queries when it was first released, and in most respects the implementation is as I would expect, but it would be helpful if it was, (in a future development of the use) possible to show a list of 'common' smartphone/handheld devices, (makes/models) within the dreamweaver interface that would be usable with the screen size being used, (possibly as an import from the 'device central' device list as a drop-down list). My reason for asking for this feature is primarily as a time saving feature for the css layouts via media-queries as it would then show the targeted/usable devices in a list, and possibly alleviate the requirement of developing layouts that are not really required.
Video:
At the moment I am using the video feature as you have indicated where possible, and am doing so with the use of IECC's for IE as a fall-back for that browser. I have tried targeting versions if Firefox and Safari that support the video element by testing for it with JavaScript, but I have found this unreliable, possibly when the standard is finalized this may be the better method.
SVG:
I personally have decided to go with svg in preference to canvas. I have seen a few 'wow' factor demo's produced using canvas but as they use cross-compiled java to javascript code they are in reality showing nothing that has not been done before, (If we had 4Ghz processors with multi-core in 1999 similar trial graphics in vml would have worked just as good then, showing my age here!).
My current work-flow with svg is - Inkscape - Modify the code by hand/preview in a browser - copy/past the code into dreamweaver.
The current in-line implementation of svg's in the IE9 preview is where I see the main future of the svg implementations, as this makes using svg's for graphic elements and basic animations much more viable/easier for the average designer/developer, and lets not forget that as it is a vector it is ideal for resizeable background images in fluid/liquid layouts.
I should say here, that I will for the foreseeable future use flash/swf's for more complex animations, as these are still much better quality than anything that can be achieved with svg or canvas.
I would like to see the possibility of using Fireworks for the creation of svg's, and a work flow similar to that available between fireworks and dreamweaver at the moment.
Cache manifest and database:
As you have rightly grouped these two together, (and I cannot really envision a situation that they would not be used so) the situation with these is for me, (when trying to create the code for use) the necessity of 'remembering' what I must include in the cache and the transfer of the data for the database.
Both are probably better explained with a typical scenario -
A new research/development firm has developed the technology and parts to upgrade an autos internal combustion engine to an hydrogen powered engine. However the products list is specific to the motor manufacturers engine type, and to make matters worse the sales department also wishes an off-line version of the demos and parts list to be available to its sales team and customers, (o/k, maybe this is not a typical scenario, but it does demonstrate the usage).
When developing the 'custom' html 5' enabled page I would require the cache manifest to include all necessary javascript/images/videos that would be required for the particular auto manufacturer to be available off-line, and compiling the list must be done at present by hand making it subject to possible errors.
As for the database, (manufacturer specific) this must also be available off-line and updateable by the sales person and customer, as they are not always on-line and no hard-copys of material will be produced, (except when printed by the mechanic).
My solution for me regarding the cache manifest would possibly be a dialogue in dreamweaver that would show all resources associated with the auto manufacturers model type used in the html site. I have used namespaces, (or some form of identifier) for general and model specific javascript, and a model identifying code for images and videos. The dialogue would then allow me to filter the resources required using the namespaces and identifier and include them in the list as required, possibly in much the same way that items are moved from a general list to a more specific list when creating the 'favourites' toolbar in dreamweaver.
The database is on first appearance much simpler, as I would simply download the database using the motor_id as a filter, (yes Scott, you can see where I am going with this ) for those who cannot this would be wrong. You have correctly seen the problem with doing this, but I will explain for those who have not. The sales person and the customer would not see any of the images or videos that have references stored in the database, as these are just references and not the actual images/videos, yes one could use 'BLOB' for storing the items but this is not in my experience a reliable method. What is required is some form of method that would also download these items and place them into the required file position for off-line viewing, (which is what the cache manifest would do).
So I would also require the possibility to add dynamically to the cache manifest from an sql database at the same time as the 'save for off-line' option is generated, (I have experimented with doing this in a similar manner that xml is created from an sql database).
That's it for the html 5.
Accessibility:
For checking I use the firefox accessibility extension and total validator extension first, then the WAVE evaluation tool.
But for Dreamweaver I would like to see the inclusion of the ARIA options as standard, especially when developing 'rich-internet-applications' particularly the aria-live and role options. I often find it interesting in discussions about html 5 where it is seen by many as a 'new' mark-up' language for the web, but rarely seen in the context of helping in accessibility when used correctly. Even the html 5 spec contains a section on using the new mark-up as part of accessibility and how the ARIA roles should be applied, (see - http://www.whatwg.org/specs/web-apps/current-work/multipage/content-models.html#annotation s-for-assistive-technology-products-%28aria%29).
The inclusion of an extra live-view option in dreamweaver that render the page in 'screen reader' mode would also be a possible accessibility checking help. This could be done by simply turning off the background-images 'on-mass' and rendering any items as they would be seen by a screen reader. As most screen readers do now parse JavaScript and css, it would illustrate the problems of using such techniques as light-boxes without using the aria-live role to tell users that the light-box in now the focus of the page.
For anyone who has stayed with this post, my sincere thanks, and any comments on the content would be welcome.

Dreamweaver CS5 PHP and MS SQL

Does Dreamweaver CS5 support using PHP with MS SQL?

Hi
This works with both the SQL Server 2008 Developers edition and the SQL server 2008 Express edition.
The first thing to ensure is that you have the mssql client for the mssql database installed, (also known as the SQL Server management studio), then go here and download the server driver for php - http://sqlsrvphp.codeplex.com/, I would recommend the release candidate as this support php 5.2 and 5.3, (it is named as "SQL server driver for php 2") yes the name is misleading!
Unpack the file into a temp, directory, then copy the files required to your php extensions directory, (the two files required will depend on your version of php, check the documentation) you do not have to use the pdo file if you are happy creating your own standard sql statements, but doing so will mean that the pdo extension must also be installed for php.
For php 5.2 you would then add the following to your php ini file, (in the extensions section) -
[PHP_MSSQL]
extension=php_sqlsrv_52_ts_vc6.dll
[PHP_PDO_MSSQL]
extension=php_pdo_sqlsrv_52_ts_vc6.dll
If using pdo ensure the following is also included -
[PHP_PDO]
extension=php_pdo.dll
Restart your server.
O/k, that's the easy part, now to check the installation. For this I installed the "AdventureWorks" database, which you can get here - http://sqlserversamples.codeplex.com/releases/view/45923.
Use the SQL management studio to check the database installed correctly, (while you are there make a note of your server name, and user name and password if not using your windows authentication).
Now to see if the installation is correct/
Open dreamweaver and create a new, (blank) php page, replace all the code, (all the html code) with the following, (the examples give in the help files by Microsoft are wrong) -
The section I have highlighted in red, change this to match your sql server name.
<?php
try {
   $conn = new PDO( "sqlsrv:Server=PAULAS-PC\SQLEXPRESS;Database=AdventureWorks", NULL, NULL);
   $conn->setAttribute( PDO::ATTR_ERRMODE, PDO::ERRMODE_EXCEPTION );}
catch( PDOException $e ) {
   die( "Error connecting to SQL Server" );
echo "Connected to SQL Server\n";
$query = 'select * from Person.ContactType';
$stmt = $conn->query( $query );
while ( $row = $stmt->fetch( PDO::FETCH_ASSOC ) ){
   print_r( $row );
?>
The NULL and NULL in the connection string, ($conn = new PDO...) indicates that you are using the windows authentication, if not replace these with your user name and password respectively.
Save the page and select 'live view', the first four words should say "Connected to SQL server".
As I said, I am currently working on including the MSsql connection as part of my "php/mysql pdo extension", which is very 'rough code' at the moment and the items are not fully compatible with how dreamweaver normally works, which means I am using mysql for some development, (creating the basic recordsets etc.) and then pasting/modifying the code into the mssql pages for testing.
If your interested, the extension can be downloaded here - http://www.pziecina.com/design/dreamweaver/pdo_extension.php, the log-in/out etc are done but not included yet.
Let me know how you get on with this, and if you have any problems.

Dreamweaver CS5 and JDBC Driver

Does Dreamweaver CS5 support JDBC Driver for MySQL ?
If yes how to set up a JDBC connexion to a MySQL database ?
If no how can I connect a JSP page/application to a MySQL database ?
Thanks.

Support for JSP has not been available since Dreamweaver CS4.
Correct, but the JSP Server Model functionality can be installed as an Extension that is delivered with Dreamweaver. You can find it here:

Dreamweaver CS5 using PHP to connect to Postgres

Started learning Dreamweaver using PHP to connect to mySql and dynamically load data into a table on my web page. Dreamweaver worked great as I didn't have to enter any PHP. Now trying to use PHP to connect to a Postgres DB. Does Dreamweaver CS5 support PHP connection to Postgres like it did mySql? Or do I need to enter the PHP commands to connect and access the Postgres myself rather than rely on Dreamweaver (which I did for mySql)?

PHP/Postgres is not a supported server model in DW. You'll need to code by hand, or try to find an extension. Try posting over at the Postgressql forums.

Problem with getting Dreamweaver CC to support ASP and ASPX

My company and our developers have been using Dreamweaver for more than 10 years and over that time have used DW to build an ASP and SQL server based system with a code base of over 200 programs and literally thousands of web pages in many, many currently active business websites. We subscribed to Creative Cloud upon upgrading our workstations to Wondows 8 but found to our consternation that DW CC does not support ASP or ASP.NET. We have followed instructions provided in this forum in June and attempted to edit the Extensions file to include ASP and ASPX, but either DW or Windows 8 refuses to allow the change to be saved, even with have Administrator access. What can we do now, apart from cancel our CC subscriptions?

Thanks Nithya.MV for your earlier response.
We have now found a solution at http://helpx.adobe.com/dreamweaver/kb/change-add-recognized-file-extensions.html which applies to Dreamweaver CS6 but can be adapted to DW CC. The solution was:
1. Go to C\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Dreamweaver CC\en_US\Configuration\Extensions.txt
2. Open the file in say NotePad (visit Preferences first to turn off Read Only if necessary).
3. Add ASP, ASPX, to the front of the list of extensions in the first line.
4. Save the Extensions.txt file (then resent the file to Real Only in Preferences)
5. Close Dreamweaver CC if it's open.
6. (Re)start Dreamweaver CC and open the required .asp or .aspx file.
This worked a treat.
Unfortunately all the other intructions provided on the Support Forum had us looking in the wrong place at:

No need to apologize. Preprocessing is a topic on which there are differing opinions. You have one. I have one. There are advocates:

There are even those who have been converted (but who might reverse at some later point):

Heck, even I might be converted someday - or not
Bottom line for me, right now? I know I can write CSS that is better than most, more efficient than most, and easier to follow than most, and a preprocessor would add unwanted complexity. But that's for me. For someone not able to be organized intutively, or for a large - but carefully coordinated - team, a preprocessor could be a positive.
But not for me.
There are evolving trends - popular aspects of the technology that may and should find themselves being adapted into CSS. But I've been around this business as long as CSS has. I've seen buzzwords and trends and I've historically been spot-on in predicting the one that will stick. I think preprocessing will stick - but only insofar as it will be a catalyst for features in future versions of CSS. As a separate technology it makes no sense - to me

Does Dreamweaver CS5.5 support in-app purchases for mobile apps?

I am starting to take a look at developing a mobile app for my business and Dreamweaver CS5.5 looks like the platform I am going to use. My question is this: do apps built this way have support for in-app purchases?
Thanks.

If you are asking can you develop it I don't see why not. Just refer to the documentation from the appropriate Marketplace for details on setting up in-app purchasing restrictions and requirements. If you are asking if there is a built-in function to make an easy "in-app purchase button" I would lean towards the No on this answer because I don't believe that is in DW.

Dreamweaver CS5 is not Supported on This Type of Mac

I recently got a new iMac and went to reinstal my CS5 Web Premium Student Edition and only installed Dreamweaver. I was able to use it yesterday fine. Today when I booted up. the dreamweaver icon has a anti symbol over it and says "you can't open the application "Adobe Dreamweaver CS5" because it is not supported on this type of mac."
What went wrong and what do I need to do to fix it? Thanks!

I am running OSx 10.9 and I do not see anything about Roseta or Intel when viewing the info about the app. After I used DW yesterday fine, I ran the auto updates from within DW and perhaps when I rebooted this morning is when it broke. I just now uninstalled CS5 and reinstalled DW (I'm not using the other apps). It has updates to do but scared..
It wants to update the following:
Adobe Device Central CS
Adove Dreamweaver
- Adobe player
- CS Live Service
- Dreamweaver CS5 11.0.4 updater
- Adobe Extension Manager CS5 5.0 update
I haven't tried yet to update because either that or some other stange thing happened. I've never seen an app with an anti symbol over it.

CS5 for Windows can only be installed on Windows operating system.
You would need to purchase CS5 for Mac OS.
Given that CS5 is now 4 versions back, it's unlikely you'll find a copy.
You could get DW CC from the Creative Cloud which supports both Win/Mac platforms.
