Cannot Move images freely on Dreamweaver CS3

So I just got Dreamweaver CS3 today and this is my first
exposure to the program. I have a problem though.
I cannot drag an image on top of another one without it
snapping to either the top, bottom or sides of the image I am
dragging it on top of. I have extensive experience in CorelDraw and
in that program you can drag images ANYWHERE you please and it
doesn't matter what layer that image is in. What settings must I
change so that I can move images freely?
More detailed description of my problem:
I have designed a large image for my background and I want to
drag a menu that I designed on top of that one. Both images are JPG
format. When I try to drag the menu image on top of the larger
background image it snaps usually above or bellow the larger
background image - it never stays on top of the background
image(where I want it).
What must I do to fix this?
Please help me.
Thanks in advance,
Nick Hall

Sorry, but DW is not CorelDRAW. You cannot successfully just
drag pieces
about and plop them where you want. The positioning of page
elements is
controlled by a combination of (X)HTML & CSS. Until you
become comfortable
with both of those DW will be a constant frustration.
www.sitepoint.com is
but one of many good starting points. I find their books to
be very good.
Look for something that focuses on (X)HTML & CSS for
beginners.
Good luck.

Flash image gallery into dreamweaver cs3

I put a flash image gallery into my web page using dreamweave
cs3 and every things working but the images from the image gallery
do not show up. How do I connect the images to the flash file in
dreamweaver.

Getting a 404 error for
http://www.jenspaeth.com/home.swf
before I even
bring a mouse over the screen.
I'm guessing that
http://www.jenspaeth.com/Jen
Site/Shell.swf is
attempting to load that file and cannot find it.
Did you upload home.swf and any other relavent files to the
root of
www.jenspaeth.com? Or is it supposed to be in the "Jen Site"
folder?
You should not use spaces in folder/file names.

Cannot open image files in PS CS3 from Bridge CS3

Cannot open file in Photoshop CS3 (10.0.1) from Bridge CS3 (2.1.1.9)
Tried choosing File>Open and double clicking the image thumbnail
Error dialogue box pops up and reads:
Windows cannot find\C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop CS\Photoshop.exe
I wouldnt expect CS\Photoshop.exe to be found because CS3\Photoshop.exe upgrade is installed.
Will downloading the Adobe Photoshop update for Adobe Photshop CS3 (11/15/2007) or Adobe Bridge CS3 update for Adobe Bridge CS3 (11/15/2007) be my best bet for correcting this problem?

Thanks to Freeagent for pointing me to the solution.
For fellow Windows XP user's:
Control Panel > Folder Options > File Types
It would have been nice if the Install Wizard of PS would have handled this automatically or had an advisory instruction to manually associate image files in Windows XP.
I thought all along this was a Photoshop CS3 / Bridge CS3 problem since Bridge was calling for both the image file and Photoshop.
If Freeagent has anyone's ear at Adobe please pass this on.
Thanks Again

Trouble with image restore on dreamweaver cs3

I am a GoLiver trying to learn Dreamweaver. I am having a problem with image restore on the rollover. Here is the url
http://www.allthegills.com/meadowcroftweb
Not sure where I went wrong.
Thanks for any help.

The onmouse over and out need to go in your href tag. You have them in your img tag. Should look like this
<a href="index.html" onmouseout="MM_swapImgRestore()" onmouseover="MM_swapImage('index','','images/img_over.gif',1)"><img src="images/img.gif" alt="whatever" name="index" /></a>

Dreamweaver CS3 - Cannot create root and image folder in Site Management. (Create New Site)

Good day everyone,
I am not able to create folders for a new site in Dreamweaver CS3.
This is the problem:
I open Dreamweaver
I go to site and click on create new site
In the new site panel I name the site eg: Test Site
Then I click on the browse folder to attached a root folder and image folder for the site
This is where the problem starts, when I browse to the folders, Dreamweaver does not keep the location/path.
Like this: My folder is created in the following directory.
C:\xampp\htdocs\my_site_folder
So when I browse to this folder and click save
the path does not stay in Dreamweaver, all the stays is this.
C:\xampp\htdocs\
The site name does not remain.
I cannot get Dreamweaver to hold the path.
Same for the image folder.
I noticed this started to happened after I updated Vista to Service pack 2.
I have never seen this happen before.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks.
Patrick

Cannot see web photo gallery in design in dreamweaver cs3

have made web photo gallery in PS- opens in browser- opens in

browser--But I cannot see the thumbnails or tables-yet I know its
there hidden?--How can I make it all visible

Cindy:
If you dig really deeply (10 levels down!) in your Library folder you will find the templates for the new Bridge Galleries. You can also use the Lightroom templates in Bridge CS4.
Library/Applications Support/Adobe/Bridge CS4 Extensions/Adobe output Module/mediagallery/resources/templates/07lightroomgallery/styles
I duplicated one of the enclosed Styles and dragged it to the Desktop;
opened it in GoLive (because I like the way that GL displays html code although any text editor will do);
edited the code to give me the background colors, text and image frames that I wanted; and Saved the file with a new but similar name (starting with next two digits in the series and with the .xml suffix) in the same location as the original.
And it works!
You may be able to put your existing templates in the appropriate areas.
Or, you could install the Optional Plug-ins which let you use the Photoshop/File/Automate
web galleries and put your old templates wherever you kept them for CS3.
WARNING:
You should be perfectly safe doing this but if you screw-up CS4 and have to re-install it I accept no responsibility!!!!!!!

Cannot install extension in Dreamweaver CS3

I just purchased an image gallery extension from the exchange. The instructions say that I need to run the extension manager to install it. When I do it I get an error message saying:
"This extension cannot be installed, it requires Dreamweaver 7 or greater. To install the extension, please try to install Dreamweaver CS4 or use Adobe Extension Manager CS3 which works with Adobe CS3 and earlier products."
I've tried to find Adobe Extension Manager CS3 but only can find CS4 which is already installed in my PC
Thanks for your help
George

The cs3 extension manager is on your cs3 disk.
You could also try right clicking on the extension manager in the start menu and selecting, 'run as administrator'.

Dreamweaver CS3 Image Viewer Flash Element

Here at Cleveland State University, I offer basic training
classes for most Adobe products. We are in the middle of a complete
overhaul of the
http://www.csuohio.edu space. Our
goal to is to create an attractive, website with a consistent look
and feel that makes it easier for our faculty and staff to update
on a more frequent basis. In doing so, we have created a series of
pages that can be easily edited in Dreamweaver CS3. One item we
would like to fully support is the DW CS3 Image Viewer - Flash
Element. However, we have hit a small layout snag.
On the main pages of most college and departmental sites, a
specific space with a finite size is set on a web page for the
image viewer. A site editor then creates images in Photoshop that
are that exact size. The image viewer element is configured to be
that exact size as well. Furthermore, the picture "frame", title,
caption and controls are hidden in the Flesh Element panel.
However, when the page is previewed either in Dreamweaver or in a
browser, the images have been shrunk. There is always a border,
whether it is white or some other color. I assume the color is the
stage color of the Flash .swf file. This causes a misalignment of
the images and the other text.
Another issue is the links that automatically created. Some
of our editors have asked me why, even though they specifically
leave the imageLinks area blank, links seem to be created pointing
to the Adobe.com website.
My questions: is there no way to force the Flash element to
respect the size of the pictures so that no border is showing? Is
there no way to leave the Im
I've done a search on the Adobe.com support site and on the
web and noted that several people have posted questions concerning
this. Unfortunately, no one seems to know what to do about it.
I can send links if you would like to see an example. I'd
greatly appreciate any help you can give me.

I'm just a user, like you. And I'd rather you not send things
directly to
me unless I request you to do this. If you have a problem
that cannot be
solved here, then your next option would be to contact Adobe
Tech Support
directly. I'm not very familiar with the Flash side of DW, so
I cannot be
of much help in this regard.

Dreamweaver CS3 Image Viewer ImageLinkTarget Problem

I'm using the Dreamweaver CS3 Image Viewer component to make
a quick Flash slideshow.
I've set the ImageLinkTarget parameter to "_blank". However,
in the slideshow, mouse rollovers show
a hand cursor, but clicking opens the larger image in the
same browser window. Everything I have read says that
this setting should cause the link to open in a new window or
tab.
I have posted the code. If anyone has ever experienced this,
please let me know how to fix/work around it.
Thank you.

Cannot move some images in iPhoto to desktop

I cannot move an image from iPhoto to my desktop. Also, when I click on the image in iPhoto to enlarge it, I get an exclamation point. When the image is small size in iphoto, I can see it. But if I click on it to enlarge it in iphoto, I get the exclamation point. Don't know why this is happening? I have Iphoto 09, version 8.1.2 (424) My goal: Be able to move any image in iphoto to my desktop and not get the exclamation point anymore.
Message was edited by: rjduffy61

The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the link to the original image - and that's why you can move it to the desktop.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Jagged Edges on Images in Dreamweaver CS3

When placing an image with a transparent background in Dreamweaver CS3, I keep encountering ugly jagged
edges, whether I save the image as a .png or a .gif. I've tried everything I can think of to eliminate this problem,
and still the same results.
The only thing that has worked to eliminate the jagged white edge has been to place a background layer behind the image,
but that poses yet another problem because the hex colors in Photoshop and Dreamweaver will not match either.
Frazzled!! Somebody please help!

That's not a problem with DW. The jagged edge you see on your phone image is a jagged edge on your phone image!
I got a bit of a better result after about 5 minutes fumbling with the eraser in Photoshop:

It shouldn't take too much to get your original good enough to lose that jagged edge.

.jp2 images in Dreamweaver CS3

I recently discovered jp2 images. I downloaded a plug in that lets me open them in CS3 Photoshop - though I still can't export images as jp2 images in Photoshop. No problem; I downloaded Pixelmator, which does the job.
But when I inserted a jp2 image in a Dreamweaver file, I discovered that the image doesn't display in my browser (Chrome or Firefox). If I try to view the image alone - MySite/image.jp2, then I can see the image - in Firefox only. Chrome asks me to update QuickTime, or something like that.
I seem to be having some kind of problem with plugins, because I can't watch YouTube videos with Chrome or Safari, but I can view them with Firefox, so I'm really confused.
But if browser plugins are the problem, then I probably shouldn't be using .jp2 images on my web pages, anway, because my visitors could have the same plugin problems.
Anyway, can anyone tell me if 1) there's a plugin I should download to enable me to insert .jp2 images on CS3 Dreamweaver pages, and 2) if there's some sort of trick I should know about to make .jp2 images display on web pages?
Thanks.

The problem is not import or not the image, JPEG 2000 is not part of standard HTML, so can not be viewed in browsers within a page, Firefox probably has the ability to open, but not as part of the html , is like trying to make the browser open an Excel file without having to download

Dreamweaver CS3 Not Displaying Some Images

Hi,
About a week ago, certain images that have always displayed
correctly within Dreamweaver started appearing as the "broken page"
icon. A table background image I just created today decided it was
going to act up as well. These images display fine in all the
browsers, and the web pages I'm designing look right. But not being
able to see these images within Dreamweaver makes designing very
difficult. Any ideas?
I am using Dreamweaver CS3 on a Mac Pro at work.
Josh

Looks like my message got lost. Would really appreciate some
help on this as I have to use this software every day. Thank
you.

Centering a flash movie within Dreamweaver cs3 on Y axis

I have published a movie in Flash cs3 which has generated an html document however the Flash movie is not automatically centered I have attempted to centrally align the movie within Dreamweaver cs3 by adding:
<center> after the opening body tag and </center> befor the closing body tag
This method has centered on the X axis but not the Y axis
I would have put in a table or a div tag, but when I open the html doc in Dreamweaver I have no visible repressentation of the Flash movie in the design view as I would have if I had created an html document from scratch and draged the movie onto the page, all I can see is the "get flash" hypertext and some other text. I did actually experiment by creating a div tag and dragged my movie into it but ended up with two movies one sitting on top of the other when I ran it in a browser lol. I'm quite intimdated by code and much prefer to work in the design view (wysiwyg and all that) which is quite restricting.
Any advice for centering on the Y axis would be much apreciated, Thanks in advance, Dave

I don't believe there is code to prevent this from happening
on a client computer. The default is enabled my Microsoft, what
should happen is a yellow bar should appear at the top of the
browser which will allow you view the content.
What might work is to use a program called Zinc by a company
call Multidmedia Limited www.multidmedia.com. Search the site for
samples, one of the samples is a Flash Browser this will run Flash
a browser that you can use. You will need to change the URL a bit
in the Flash code but it's very clear on how to do this.
What this will do is run your web site in a Flash browser I
did a quick test and I did not get any errors. The program will
create an EXE file. I also believe they have a MAC version if you
need one. With a simple "Autorun" call on the CD-ROM you could have
this up and running in not time.
Just be careful of how you call the pages. Since the web site
is not running from a Web server you need to make sure that your
links are local and not Site Root. The best way to test is to
disconnect your computer from your internet and see how it runs.
You want the CD to be self-contained and not have to get content
from the web (your end user may be on a laptop and not connected).
Good Luck

Dreamweaver CS3 Insert Image

I'm trying to insert an image onto my page. I typically
receive a prompt saying:
"You won't see the element unless View > Visual Aids >
Invisible Elements is checks, and the preference setting for this
element is on"
It puts the following text on a new balnk page without a
prompt:

<title>
<MMString:LoadString id="insertbar/image" />
</title>
I'm really lost. The Visual Aids is grayed out, however the
Invisible Elements is checked.

Bad url.
