Change document type without changing file extension

I've recently started using Dreamweaver CS3 after nearly a decade on Homesite (which regrettably wouldn't work on my new Windows 7 machine). I like Dreamweaver's code view but find it lacking in some of the flexibility and intelligence that Homesite had.
Case in point: I work on a rather large site that uses Classic ASP. Most of the site uses .html file extensions, but we have these configured to be processed through the ASP engine. When editing the pages on this site, Dreamweaver sees the .html file extension and assumes they're regular HTML documents, and color codes them accordingly, but it can't figure out ASP comments and code blocks and mangles the color coding. If I try to change the Document Type (in the Application > Server Behaviors panel), Dreamweaver insists on changing the file extension too.
It appears I can modify Dreamweaver's MMDocumentTypes.xml file so that it thinks .html files are ASP. But I don't want to do this globally for ALL the sites I work on, only for this particular site. It would be really nice if I could change the document type definitions on a per-site basis, or to change the document type for a file without having to change the file extension. Surely I'm not the first person to use non-standard file extensions on webpages. Any ideas on how to fix this?

I think you have to disable it in your Operating system:

  • How to find the file type without the file extension using indesign javascript (.jsx)

    hi,
    How to identify the file type (eg: InDesign or Quark) without knowing their file type. How can we find what kind of file is that??? without their extension like ('.indd','.qxd') before import to the document...

    Hi subha_oviya,
    Take a look at the file filtering section in the InDesign CS3 sample script ImageCatalog.jsx to see how to look for file types. I'm assuming that you're using InDesign CS3, and that you're using the Mac OS--you didn't say.
    Thanks,

  • CHANGE DOCUMENT TYPE IN SERVICE PO

    Hi,
    Do you know if is possible (and how) to change Document Type in PO by ME22N transaction in SERVICE purchase order in which you have created at least one services line item.
    I'm not able to do it because Document type field is grey. If i shall delete all services line items that filed will became white, and so changable.
    Can you help me?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    But isn't that what I said in the first place?
    the question asked if you could change the document type on a service PO and I said that it couldn't be done?
    I even apologised because I thought that I was wrong when you said that it was possible, but even in 4.6 onwards you cannot change the docuemnt type when it contains service item category lines?

  • Change document type for Depreciation postings

    I need to change the document type for depreciation postings due to document number conflicts resulting from inter-company code depreciation (reference OSS note 51860).  But the system will not allow me to do this because "depreciation has been posted" AC 086 (depreciation <u>has</u> been posted in prior months).  Does anyone know of a way around this?
    Thanks,
    Cynthia

    Hi Cynthia,
    Have you tried Tcode AO71. You can probably change document type for dep posting by company code.
    This does not work for you?
    Let me know.
    You can reach me at [email protected]

  • How to add a record in document library without upload file.

    Hi,
    how to add a record in document library without upload file?
    Is it possible? I want to create a folders in Document Library but inside folders i do not want to upload a file instead of just i want to create a record. I will map my local file path to the records.
    Can anyone help me on it?
    Thanks & Regards
    Poomani Sankaran

    Hello Sankaran,
    document library is to upload documents, without document you will not be able to add a record or Item to it.
    for your requirement you can use a list and enable folders within the list and maintain the local path of the file as an item in list.

  • When I insert a shape, how do I change the color without changing the texture?

    When I insert a shape, how do I change the color without changing the texture?

    Hi,
    you are working with a percentage width of your tables, for example:
    table width="123%
    td width="75%"
    td width="25%"
    So it is simply a arithmetic problem to get the proportional wide (means the ratio of % to cm) of your images, so that they do not break the frame. Certainly you could use (translated from German DW) "properties" and change the sizes there:

  • How can I get a filename without the file extension?

    I using a JFileChooser to select and read a file. Now I want to get the filename without the file extension
    JFileChooser j = new JFileChooser;
    String file = j.getSelectedFile.getName();
    At the moment I get this result "file.dat". I need only the filename.....
    Thank you
    Thomas

    It's quite that.
    Here is the code to do that (and the method to get only the extension):
         public String getFileName(String text) {
              int ind = text.lastIndexOf(".");
              if(0<ind && ind<(text.length()-1)) {
                   return text.substring(0, ind);
              return(null);
         public String getFileExtension(String text) {
              int ind = text.lastIndexOf(".");
              if(0<ind && ind<(text.length()-1)) {
                   return text.substring(ind+1).toLowerCase();
              return(null);
         }(I used 0<ind instead of ind>0 because with the code formatting there is a bug with > )
    I hope this helps,

  • Unable to change File Type for specific file extensions

    Under Preferences->File Types different file extensions are assigned a file type e.g. The file extension .pkb is assigned the file type of PL/SQL. The file type of PL/SQL then opens the Code editor.
    I have a user who would prefer to open .pkb files in the SQL Worksheet editor but I am unable to change the file type to SQL Script as the option is greyed out.
    How do I change the File Type for these extensions? Is there a preferences file I need to change?
    Version: 3.2.20.09
    Thanks for your help.

    Hi,
    There is no preference but it turns out you can manually edit one of the preferences.xml files to force PL/SQL types to use the SQL worksheet editor. For SQL Developer 3.2.20.09.87 that file is system3.2.20.09.87\o.sqldeveloper.11.2.0.9.87\preferences.xml and will be located (on Windows 7, for example) in directory C:\Users\<userid>\AppData\Roaming\SQL Developer
    No guarantee this will work in future versions of the product, but for now you can add the following two xml blocks...
    For example, for .pls, add to <extensionToContentTypeMap ...>
                <Item>
                   <Key>.pls</Key>
                   <Value>TEXT</Value>
                </Item>
    and <userExtensionList>
                <Item>
                   <docClassName>oracle.ide.db.model.SqlNode</docClassName>
                   <userExtensions class="java.util.ArrayList">
                      <Item class="oracle.ide.config.DocumentExtensions$ExtInfo">
                         <extension>.pls</extension>
                         <locked>false</locked>
                      </Item>
                   </userExtensions>
                </Item> I researched this a while back after reading through some forum thread where someone claimed the PL/SQL file extensions got opened in the SQL editor in his environment, but without stating any specific release information. Possibly it worked for him then due to different product behavior (whether intentional or a bug), or perhaps even due to the technique described above.

  • Changing Document Type after making progress with project. Is it possible?

    Can I still change my document type after I already started my project? I want to change it to print type.

    Just what do you mean by "print type"?
    Do you mean changing the document Color Mode to CMYK color from RGB color?  If so, sure, you can do that at any time.
    If you mean changing the "file type" (file format)  (say from PSD to TIFF, etc.) you just do a Save As to create a new document in whatever format you want.

  • Does anyone know how to change .mov to a supported file extension (and what extension would you suggest)? .mov works on Apperture 3.0 so I thought it would work on Final Cut Pro X....

    Hi Tom
    Thanks
    I am now doing some 1 minute import tests from various Q/T's
    They are all in the same place on an External 1 TB Western Digital - connected by Firewire 800
    I have just imported some 1 minute tests from  other Q/T 's and they have imported Ok - quickly imported and transcoded etc fine and quickly.
    Using your suggested methd of getting the details using Quicktime 7 Movie Inspector I can see NO DIFFERENCE in the formats!  In fact with four of these files open I can click on each in turn and see the Inspector details for each in turn - and only the name, size etc changes - not the format!
    I am really upset and confused by this as I have been trying for the last four days to get these imported.  I realise that this is small potatoes to those who are having problems with even FCP 7 Files!  But, these are q/t's of 30 hours worth of unique reserahc material I shot in Africa. I have made several programmes from this material before (one even shown on Discovery!)  I WAS hoping that I could use the new and all singing FCPX to make some new programmes for teaching purposes
    But, how can I do that if only some will import?  As I posted elsehwre - i get the message "No importable files"
    I am REALLY grateful for your expertise and advice here
    thanks
