Code Coloring, ASP/VBScript, & CS5

My IT area has set up the web server to process all .HTM files as if they were .ASP. Subsequently, I cannot view my HTM files as they would appear if they were "true" ASP files in Dreamweaver CS5. I applied the changes described in TechNote 16410 to MMDocumentTypes.xml (removing the HTM extension from the winfileextension and macfileextension attirbutes of the HTML InternalType and adding the HTM extension to the winfileextension and macfileextension attirbutes of the ASP-VBScript InternalType). I moved HTM in Extensions.txt from the HTML Documents line to the Active Server Pages line and I removed the backup I had made of MMDocumentTypes.xml from the Adobe directory.
Based on another posting in this forum regarding code coloring, I added <%@LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT"%> to the first line of my HTM (ASP) file.
No matter which file with the HTM extension I open in Dreamweaver, I get this message:
When this happens also I need to terminate Dreamweaver using Windows XP's Task Manager. File > Close, application "close" [X] button, Ctrl+Q and Alt+F4 do not work.

As far as I know (could be wrong here), DW does not allow you to alter the behavior of htm(l) files. The technote is aimed at adding new file types that DW doesn't already recognize.

Code Coloring

My network administrator informed me that he would like to
use all .htm file extensions on our site, and that he will program
the server to render PHP tags within the .htm files for our
web-apps.
However, for development work I would still like to apply the
PHP code-coloring within files that have .htm extension. Can I tell
Dreamweaver to do this?
Thanks!

What was old is new again!

Need to update a record on page load. How? (ASP/VBScript)

The standard Update Record behavior requires a form on the page, plus a recordset to identify the value to be updated. In my scenario, the value for the record to be updated is already in the URL as the ID. I just don't know how to write it myself and Dreamweaver won't do this.
The page I want to do this on is a record detail page, so there is already a record ID already present in the querystring. The record is new until a user views it, and what I need is something that just writes a simple value to one field in the table for the record being viewed. This is it in a nutshell:
Using the value from the ID in the URL querystring, update the "viewed" field in a specific table with the value of "y".
This would be the first operation as the page loads and then the page would load and show the data that it already does.
I'd be happy with raw code is someone is generous enough to provide that, or perhaps some instructional help on reverse engineering the standard update record code generated by Dreamweaver. Or, if you know of any extensions designed to do this - I'd be interested in that too!
My app I'm working on is in ASP/vbscript.
Subject line edited by moderator to indicate server model

Good point! I wasn't thinking about how that would make the app vulnerable to sql injection.
The function I want to perform is similar to how an email changes from unread to read when you view it. I simple want the records being viewed to take on the status of being read or "viewed". Perhaps I'm going about this in the wrong way, but I've been planning to use a database field as the indicator of whether a record has a viewed status or not. Null value is new, and a value of "y" (yes) meaning the value is viewed/read.
If you have a better recommendation, I'm all ears.

Code Coloring does not stick

The changes I make in the Preferences section under Code Coloring do not always stick. I even tried replacing the Colors.xml file with someone else's theme. That does not come through. I replaced it both under my Configuration/Code Coloring folder which appears under Applications as well as my User folder.
I don't understand why some of the changes take and others not. Should there not be an easier way to do this??
Any clues as to how I can make the new (external) Colors.xml stick would be appreciated.

CS5. And I should say, the instructions given on the Adobe site on how to swap out the colors.xml file indicate a folder that doesn't exist. There is no Preferences folder. It's Configurations.

Document type in Code Coloring preference

Edit, preference in Dreamweaver MX 2004, under code coloring
category, I can't see the various document type in Machine A but I
can see ASP JavaScript, PHP, Cold Fusion etc in Machine B, do
anybody know why????Configuration problem???
How do I get it back????Pls help

It sounds like you may have some missing or corrupted
Configuration
files in the CodeColoring and DocumentType sub-folders.
Start by disabling any extensions that you have installed.
After that,
the easiest solution is probably to uninstall/reinstall.

Dreamweaver CS4 Code Coloring not updating

Hi,
Recently, when trying to edit the code coloring in Dreamweaver CS4, it will not update the colors after I hit "ok." Anyone know why this might be? I've tried restarting Dreamweaver, clearing the cache, and even seeing if it would work on new documents but none of that helps. Thanks for any help!
- Matt

Are you sure you're changing colors for you open document ?
I have issue with coloring too, but I thought after all this time CS5 will finally have Save option for exactly this issue. So I don't have to repeat this over and over again.

ASP VBScript

I created a simple update ASP VBscript form in Dreamweaver 8.
However the connection to my DB no longer works if someone enters
quotation marks. The quotation marks appear in my DB however the
connection is then broken, I think this is because quotation marks
and apostrophes are classed as special characters. Can anyone
advise me how I can modify my code to replace them with double
apostrophes?
Dim MM_editCmd
Set MM_editCmd = Server.CreateObject ("ADODB.Command")

Sass scss code coloring and code hinting

Cannot get Dreamweaver to treat .scss files as style sheets with CSS code coloring and code hinting?
Have tried editing the MMDocumentTypes.xml file located in the /Applications/Adobe Dreamweaver CS5.5/Configuration/DocumentTypes folder, as recommended by other users having this issue. Still no code coloring or code hinting. I suspect there may be multiple MMDocumentTypes.xml files and I need to find the correct one?

Simple call to stored function from asp (vbscript) adodb

please let me know if this question would be better suited to another forum.
i am simply attempting to call an oracle stored function that returns a varchar2 from an asp vbscript page using adodb. i have calling of stored procedures working fine.
attempting to call the function with the following code:
set sp_aprvd_cr = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Command")
sp_aprvd_cr.ActiveConnection = MM_MHR_CONN_STR_STRING
sp_aprvd_cr.CommandType = 4
sp_aprvd_cr.CommandTimeout = 0
sp_aprvd_cr.Prepared = true
sp_aprvd_cr.CommandText = "PMS.sp_hpmsq054_aprvd_cr"
sp_aprvd_cr.Parameters.Append sp_aprvd_cr.CreateParameter("IP_PMSPT_ID", 200, 1,10,sp_aprvd_cr__P_PMSPT_ID)
sp_aprvd_cr.Parameters.Append sp_aprvd_cr.CreateParameter("return_param", adVarchar, adParamOutput)
set rst_aprvd_cr = sp_aprvd_cr.Execute
suspect that preparing the return code is where i am having troubles.
any examples or assistance would be greatly appreciated.
thanks in advance.

Return value from stored function must be the first parameter in the parameters collection.
So, try this instead,
sp_aprvd_cr.Parameters.Append sp_aprvd_cr.CreateParameter("return_param", adVarchar, adParamOutput)
sp_aprvd_cr.Parameters.Append sp_aprvd_cr.CreateParameter("IP_PMSPT_ID", 200, 1,10,sp_aprvd_cr__P_PMSPT_ID)Cheers,

Sample code in ASP to connect SAP?

Hello,
Can Anyone give me ASP(VBScript) sample code to connect to R/3?
Not Visual basic!
I appreciate that

Hi Durairaj,
Ignore the previous question.
I read some doucument. I was able to pass parameters how to do it.
Could you check the following which added to the example?
set myfunc = fns.add("TABLE_ENTRIES_GET_VIA_RFC")
Dim t_parameter1
Dim t_parameter2
Dim t_parameter3
set t_parameter1 = myfunc.exports("LANGU")
set t_parameter2 = myfunc.exports("ONLY")
set t_parameter3 = myfunc.exports("TABNAME")
t_parameter1.Value = "E"
t_parameter2.Value = ""
t_parameter3.Value = "USR01"
result = myfunc.Call
the_exception = myfunc.exception
dim users
if result = true then
   set NAMETAB = myfunc.Tables("NAMETAB")
   set TABENTRY = myfunc.Tables("TABENTRY")
   response.write "<table border=1>"
   response.write "<tr>"
   for each row in NAMETAB.rows
      response.write "<td>"
      response.write trim(row("FIELDNAME"))
   next
   response.write "</td>"
   response.write "</tr>"
   response.write "</table>"
Question about set myfunc = fns.add("TABLE_ENTRIES_GET_VIA_RFC")
When I use this TABLE_ENTRIES_GET_VIA_RFC, I can get some data from table R/3 System. But I couldn't get data from tables.
For example, table USR01(works fine), USR02 - not work
is there any range or limitation to use TABLE_ENTRIES_GET_VIA_RFC?
Thanks

DW cs4 - something changed - font code colors

Hello
[history ] I have been using DW CS 4 for 16 months.
[Question ] Sometime in last two months the font code colors changed and are mostly blue. I would like the code to have the variety of colors that it once had which made reading code possible.   When I've checked my code preferences I don't see anything which has changed.
About the same time I have been getting an error message (maybe a red herring to code color issue)
"this page contains some SWF that may not work properly in the most recent versions of Internet Explorer.
Dreamweaver cannot convert them to the new SWF markups. Please delete each of them and insert again."
However pages from same site that don't have SWF error are not having homogenous code color.
Elsewhere when I searched the error code someone suggested looking at extensions. The only extension I remember specifically adding to dreamweaver in last few months is
Adobe :   HTML5 hinting for CS3 & CS4
Thanks,
Casey

@ Nancy Thanks. Generally yes.   Transitional xhtml 1.0.
However ---
DW cs4 code color still is off.
It seems that a possible cause was not the swf issue (as I first asked about) but something with ASP coding.
I say this because when I remove the asp comment at the start of a product page (examples below) .   Yet I don't know asp or DW library well enough to conclusively say this is it or just a hack. I'd prefer best practice option.
'default to order tab or not
or
I edit it to a string
'default to order tab or not'
then rest of page is colored perfectly.
three examples (bigger below) --- as it is DW CS4 not rendering code colors correctly... then #2 removing 'default to order tab or not   then #3
Original --
Modified option 1 -- removed asp comment (which I'd prefer to keep)
modified option 2 ( asp commented closed with ' but this may not be best practice.... will check coding forum for that... for now I'm seeing if DW is messing up something it should be.... )

Update multiple records with Update Command Dreamweaver 8.0.2 - ASP VBScript

Dreamweaver 8.0.2 - Language ASP – VBScript
I’m trying to update more than one record at a time
using checkboxes. I’ve successfully done this numerous times
prior to Dreamweaver 8.0.2.
Before Dreamweaver 8.0.2, I would create a page with a
recordset, form, checkbox and repeat region and pass the ID to
another page containing an ‘Update Command’. The code
on the Update page looked similar to the following:
<%
if(Request.QueryString("MemberID") <> "") then
spMemberApproving__MMColParam = Request.QueryString("MemberID")
%>
<%
set spMemberApproving = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Command")
spMemberApproving.ActiveConnection =
MM_connIssuesManager_STRING
spMemberApproving.CommandText = "UPDATE tblMembers SET
MemberApproved = 1 WHERE MemberID IN (" +
Replace(spMemberApproving__MMColParam, "'", "''") + ")"
spMemberApproving.CommandType = 1
spMemberApproving.CommandTimeout = 0
spMemberApproving.Prepared = true
spMemberApproving.Execute()
Response.Redirect("default.asp")
%>
However, in Dreamweaver 8.0.2 when you fill out the Update
Command dialog box, Dreamweaver asks you to provide the
‘Type’ and ‘Size’ for the variables (see:
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=4e6b330a
That being said and done, the code on the Update page looks
like the following:
<%
' IIf implementation
Function MM_IIf(condition, ifTrue, ifFalse)
If condition = "" Then
MM_IIf = ifFalse
Else
MM_IIf = ifTrue
End If
End Function
%>
<%
if(Request.QueryString("MemberID") <> "") then
spMemberApproving__MMColParam = Request.QueryString("MemberID")
%>
<%
Set spMemberApproving = Server.CreateObject ("ADODB.Command")
spMemberApproving.ActiveConnection =
MM_connIssuesManager_STRING
spMemberApproving.CommandText = "UPDATE tblMembers SET
MemberApproved = 1 WHERE MemberID IN (?) "
spMemberApproving.Parameters.Append
spMemberApproving.CreateParameter("MMColParam", 202, 1, 10,
MM_IIF(Request.QueryString("MemberID"),
Request.QueryString("MemberID"), spMemberApproving__MMColParam
spMemberApproving.CommandType = 1
spMemberApproving.CommandTimeout = 0
spMemberApproving.Prepared = true
spMemberApproving.Execute()
Response.Redirect("default.asp")
%>
The Update Command works perfectly when only 1 record is
being updated. However, when I try to update more than one record I
get the following error:
Error Type:
ADODB.Command (0x800A0D5D)
Application uses a value of the wrong type for the current
operation.
/issues_manager/admin/members_approving.asp, line 27
Can anyone help me out?

Yes, this is a bug in Dreamweaver 8.0.2. The only workaround
is to stay with
8.0.1 or to hand-code the query. Adobe removed most of the
useful ways to
use Commands and Recordsets in 8.0.2 and limited it to basic
queries.

ASP VBScript producing Dreamweaver Javascript Error Messages

Do almost anything in Dreamweaver CS4 with ASP VBScript seems to produce javascript error messages. can be a blank page, and you try to create a recordset... error box, error box, and then the code gets inserted but is not in the server behaviors panel. i'm usually working in php and have never had this problem, but it's quite annoying to work that way... being forced to hand code a lot simple because dreamweaver isn't working correctly.
warning one:
the following javascript error(s) occurred:
warning two:
while executing findServerbehaviors in Recordset.htm, a JavaScript error occurred
deleted .dat file and restarted dreamweaver, per some discussions via google... did nothing.

anyone know how to fix this issue with dreamweaver?

Copy code color scheme

I've got code coloring schemes for several document types
tweaked until they're just what I like. How do I copy one (say, my
.asp scheme) to a different document type? What about if the
document type (.inc) is one that's not on the list at
Preferences|Code Coloring?

There's no way to do that through the DW UI, but you can do
it by
manually editing some Configuration files.
Start by reading this TechNote:
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_16420
This describes the difference between the "application" and
"user"
Configuration folders and where to find them on your system.
It's best
to edit files in the user config folder, not the *parallel*
app config
folder. You may have to first copy a file from the app config
folder to
the user config folder before you can edit it.
Now, take a look at the Configuration/CodeColoring/Colors.xml
file. You
should find a <colorGroup> tag with one of the ASP
doctypes listed with
your changes. You can either add the new doctypes to the
list, or just
remove the doctypes attributes so that the colors apply to
all doctypes.
> What about if the document type (.inc) is one that's

How to Save/Export Code Coloring?

I upgraded to CS5.5 and lost all code coloring, I wonder why there isn't any Save or Export function to support this?
Do you have any idea how difficult it is to re-do this ? what if something happens with the Dreamweaver and you can't backup this... do it all over again....

Which version did you upgrade from? and which operating system?
Code coloring is controlled by a file called Colors.xml which you can copy and paste into the CS5.5 config folder
The paths to the xml file are listed here (depending on your operating system and which version you have upgraded from)
