CS3 Mac: eyedropper tool failure?

Question

I'm having repeated but inconstant problems with using the
eyedropper tool
to change background colors in CSS using the CSS panel in
DWCS3. I will
click on a color on a dw page in development and I'll hear a
beep and
although the color appears in the pop up color panel, the
color doesn't
"take." As soon as I move the cursor off the current
location, the color
starts changing in the color panel.
It is annoying and it happens sometimes. Sometimes I can even
click on a
desktop color on a browser's page, for example and get the
color. At other
times I cannot even click within the application on a page to
get the color.
Any ideas?

Answer 1

Oh for crying out loud -- I feel like such an idiot! :)
It worked like a charm.
I have used Dreamweaver since MX, which is a number of years,
and I have routinely used the eyedropper to grab colors from all
over the place.
Maybe what confused me is that I not only switched from a PC
to a Mac, I switched from a desktop PC to a MacBook Pro, so I'm
using a trackpad instead of a mouse. Maybe the awkwardness (I'm
still not used to it) of dragging on a trackpad while holding down
the (one and only one button, on a Mac) made holding that button
down not "feel" like what I had done before.
Thanks so much!
