Coding HTML in Dreamweaver vs Text Editor

When coding HTML in dreamweaver, does the code look different to if you were just writing the code in a text document such as text editor

The code from a text editor like Notepad will be exactly the same as that from Dreamweaver. The only advantage in using Dreamweaver lies in the code hinting for HTML, JavaScript, server-side script (PHP), and CSS. Additionally, Dreamweaver contains a few other niceties like an FTP-client and site management.

How to Set Up TextEdit as an HTML or Plain Text Editor?

How to Set Up TextEdit as an HTML or Plain Text Editor?

Well,
There are 5 choices to choose from on the page. In the description of the choices at the bottom of the page there are 7, and the two additional choices talk about having to first have registered the site with SSO. So...I'm interpreting that as meaning that other 2 possible choices would be displayed if the site is registered with SSO. That, plus the fact that the page which describes how to add the site to SSO seems to think that the SSO choices are displayed in the wizard.
So, no, there's no "exact launguage" that says what the reason is for the choices not being displayed. Can you point me to some exact language that tells me how to get those choices displayed?

Is a text editor really better than Dreamweaver?

Hi Everyone,
I've been looking through several different web design forums
and I'm now stuck with a question. Why do some people swear by
using only a text editor to put their website together and totally
discount programs such as Dreamweaver? I find this quite strange
because a website amongst other things is a highly visual
experience usually not showing a single line of code to the end
user. I get the impression that some people feel that Dreamweaver
is beneath them as they are "highly skilled coders" and only
amateurs use WYSIWYGs! Is it just me or am I correct in thinking
there is an element of snobbery here? To me it seems that
Dreamweaver has advantages in abundance and for the so called
hardcore coders there's even a code view which is much more
powerful than a simple text editor. One final thing, I see that
people complain about so called bad code that Dreamweaver writes.
Is it true that Dreamweaver writes bad code and if so what's bad
about it?
Many thanks, I'll be fascinated to read your
responses.

Let's see entire sites, good-sized professional ones. :-)

Making Rich Text Editor with PHP in Dreamweaver - Problem with CKEditor...

Hi,
I am developing a website in Dreamweaver and using the platform of PHP and MYSQL. I need to develop a Rich Text Editor just like the one I am typing at the moment. With my recent searches I have come across with CKEditor as one of the possibilities to add a Rich Text Editor to my website. I have seen older versions of CKEditor also known as FCKEditor which I believe unfortunatley is out of date and obsolete now (discontinued). I cannot find any of the downloads now from anywhere on the web.
I can find FCKEditor tutorials with PHP, but can not find CKEditor tutorials for PHP (when I try googling it, it always gives me FCKEditor page). Can anyone please help me and tell me if I can still make Rich Text Editor using CKEditor and PHP?
If yes, please guide me how? Any tutorials or reading material will be very helpful.
Regards,
Bilal . Khan

Yes, you absolutely can use CKEditor to create a rich text editor with PHP/MySQL.I have tried several editors and it's my choice.
Here is a link to the documentation page:
http://docs.cksource.com/
CKFinder is also very good in conjunction with CKEditor. Although it costs $59/per website, it's better than the free alternatives.

Hello friends , I have started with writing c code on mac using xcode .....but one of my friend told me to use gcc for coding. He started with terminal And used a text editor to compil the c program on his mac.. So please tell me how to do the same

Hello friends , I have started with writing c code on mac using xcode .....but one of my friend told me to use gcc for coding. He started with terminal And used a text editor to compil the c program on his mac.. So please tell me how to do the same and is there any pre stalled text editor on mac if yes then where and if no then which text editor to install and how to install gcc...please help me out thanks in advance !!!

I have started with writing c code on mac using xcode .....but one of my friend told me to use gcc for coding.
Why? If you are developing and writing code on a Mac why would you not use the tools Apple has given you? And Xcode, once you get use to it, is a very nice development environment that will make you life a whole lot easier.
If you insist on using an editor and the terminal I would recommend Emacs but it has a long learning curve so something like TextWrangler will work too.
As for the compiler if you have Xcode installed install the command line tools and you will be able to compile from the terminal.
good luck

To add meta tags, you open your published .html pages with TextEdit or any other text editor and modify as required. You have to do redo it each time you republish. Ihow do I do this? I need step by step instructions

To add meta tags, you open your published .html pages with TextEdit or any other text editor and modify as required. You have to do redo it each time you republish. I need step by step instructions on how to accomplish this please .

Rage Sitemap Automator and iWeb SEO Tool are two different applications.
Use SEO Tool to add the title tag and meta description. These need to be added to the html file for every page of your website. SEO Tool stores all these so that when you republish you only need to add tags to any new pages and click the re-apply button to refresh the existing ones.
Once you have added. refreshe the tags with iWeb SEO Tool and uploaded the files with your FTP application, then open the site in Sitemap Automator and create and upload a new sitemap.
Once you have set up accounts with Google, Yahoo and Bing, verified your site with each and submitted a sitemap, on subsequent publishing Sitemap Automator will resubmit the sitemap with one button click. It will also notify Ask.com whch doesn't require an account since you can add your domain name to this URL to ping them...

Integrate a text editor in an ITS applicate

Hello,
I want to develop an ITS application for our sales reps to be able to key in text and also have the ability to change fonts, bold, underline, etc and then save this text to be displayed elsewhere. I have seen many text editors on the internet, such as TinyMCE, etc. but have not had any luck getting them to work. Has anyone been able to integrate a text editor in their ITS application?
Thanks.
Tim

Hi Tim,
did you try class CL_GUI_TEXTEDIT on your Dynpro and translate it into HTML-Template to get coding?

Rich text editor (apex 4.0)

using blue gray theme and a page with a rich text editor. Expanding the rich text options displays the text body p below the text area that persists even if you close the rich text options. Anybody know how to get rid of that behavior?

I think your mixing 2 technologies.
At 1 side you have xml in combination with xsl (style sheets used in BI Publisher and FOP) to generate your pdf. And at the other side you have HTML...
XML and HTML are 2 entirely different technologies which you can not mix this simple. I investigated the same problem as you had, and in the end I ended up using jasperreports instead of FOP.
Maybe BI Publisher has some html regions which you could insert into your word document but I doubt it cause more people have asked the same question on this board...
So my advice: use jasperreports (also it is free for commercial usage)
Success

Rich Text Editor Options

I am working on a project that needs a Rich-Text Editor with
ability to insert tables, images, and more complex editing features
such as what FCKEditor provides but ideally that was built with
Flex in mind. Is there such an editor available? I have seen a few
options but nothing that really matched the functionality of
FCKEditor for example.
Thanks

Hello,
I was looking for flex version of the FCK Editor,
unfortantly, I could not find a fully complete solution, but I
found the following which might help you:

Line breaks in text editor

Hi,
I am facing the problem that when I read the content of the
texteditor, store it in a javascript variable, and then write it
again into the editor area, all line breaks (not html line breaks,
just the line breaks for the code structure) are gone.
For Example if the content of the Editor is the following:
Test line 1
Test line 5
If I know call my function the value of the texteditor will
be somethign like: "Test line1 Test line 5"
I tried finding the linebreaks and replacing them (either \n,
\r or \n\r) but had no success in doing that.
My code of the function:
var theDom=dw.getDocumentDOM();
var temp = theDom.documentElement.outerHTML;
theDom.documentElement.outerHTML="";
theDom.documentElement.outerHTML=temp;
So I assume Javascript and dw are using different formats,
but I cant find much information about whats being used.
Any help appreicated!
Best,
David

Hi Brent,

SAP
Visual

Can I open .ai file w/ text editor and edit linked file path?

I want to relink a placed file in a lot of illustrator files to a new file with a different name. I've tried setting up various actions but it is not doing what I need. If I open the file in a text editor such as Notepad++ or Text Wrangler, I can find the linked file path in two places, if I edit this path and save the file (still with .ai extension) I thought the link would change, but when I reopen the file, it does not change. Any ideas?
If I make an action to relink a file, the action will only place a new file but not replace the old one. I also can't get it to place into a specific layer.
Any ideas?

CSS files are plain text with no links, so what you see is all there is.
In order to apply CSS to HTML, you need a <link> tag in your HTML.
If you install the Web Developer Extension from the Firefox add-ons site, there is a handy "Edit CSS" sidebar that lets you play with style rules and see the effects live. Note that this pane is not saved, so if you switch tabs, you lose your changes. Make sure to copy out any changes you want to remember.

Using the Document Manager Rich Text Editor

I'm wondering whether there is a reasonable way we can use the Rich Text Editor (based on CKEditor) that is contained within the Document Manager task flow (primarily for editing Wiki pages) outside of the Document Manager itself? We have another type of content we need a Rich Text Editor for, but it would be great if we could use the inline image links, tables, links to documents in the content repository, etc.

Have you consider use Site Studio + Content Presenter?

Where can I find a user-guide for the awfull Text-Editor used to enter/edit these forums entries?

I am desesperate to understand how quite basic functions (just as one of many examples: how can I paste text, that I have formatted in MS Word and want to paste into a Forum Post-Entry?) can be done with the primitive and awful Text Editor used to enter/edit Forum Entries. Notice, that like many other Adobe users, I am not familiar at all with HTML and it is therefore a description of the badly named "Full Editor" that I am looking for.
Where can I find a User-Guide for this Text Editor?
My recommendation to Adobe: exercise enough brute pressure on the developers of this primitive Text Editor to force them to provide something more reasonable, more powerful and more intuitive.

Thank You Jochem
I was trying to understand how I could do things as simple as inserting text that I had previously copied. Since there are neither command menüs nor buttons for the Insert of previously copied text, I was trying a mouse right click.....and was being offered in the context menu the choice between "Insert Link", "Insert Image", "Alignement", and "Insert Table"....... but no possibility of a plain insert of previously copied text.
Now, I realize, that Clearstream supports at least the keyword shortcut of "Ctrl V" ........that I am not using in any other software (I never use any keyboard shortcuts).
Since Clearstream does not support reasonable choices in the contextual menus, I will need to memorize the most important keyword shortcuts.
By the way: I detected now, that the "Ctrl V" keyboard shortcut allows me to insert formatted text.
Even, if I will now begin to be able to use reasonably Clearstream, I am quite surprised to see that such a software provides neither reasonable Contextual Menus, nor a User Guide, nor........
Thank you again Jochem for your patience with me.

Trying to export html to dreamweaver but save images as pngs.

I'm designing a floating site. My workflow is PS=====>Fireworks====>Dreamweaver. I made a navbar in FW with a transparent background and exported html to dreamweaver. I inserted the fireworks htm, put it online and it looks terrible. You can see it here:
http://www.njtraininggrounds.com/thirddaydesign.com/identity.html
Don't worry about the portfolio button, I know what's going on there. But I can't figure out why there is "stairstepping" on the logo and on all the navbar buttons. This is the first time I've ever created a floating site. I just put a jpeg for repeat using the dreamweaver css, and then inserted the rest in a table. I got some good replies in dreamweaver forums, but they all centered around saving the images when you export as pngs or as transparent gifs with a green matt. How can I do this with fireworks cs3?
Could anyone give me an idea of what I'm doing wrong? Thanks so much.
Wil

The GIF format supports only one value of transparency. Your text, when anti-aliased against whatever background in Fireworks (transparent?), probably looks fine. When you export, though, you lose the smooth transition. (If you zoom in, you can see the blending of text to background and that's what you're losing.)
You have two options.
You can still use the GIF format. Just pick a green value out of your background image and use that for your canvas. Then, when you export, set that color to transparent. Where the pixels of the text and that color blend for the anti-aliasing, you'll have opaque pixels, but they'll look all right against your background image.
Use a PNG8, which is an indexed palette like the GIF, but it supports semi-transparent colors. When you go to export, you may want to add more colors using the eye dropper tool, as FW doesn't quite pick out all the values it might for a smooth image. See this article:
http://blogs.sitepoint.com/2007/09/18/png8-the-clear-winner/
(I like exporting through File>Image Preview, myself.)
