CS4 Template Editing Attribute Problem

I've got a site with templates and nested templates. I was able to figure out how to make an attribute editable for the photo on the page. But I would also like to change the color of the navigation text for that particular page. (basically to show via color that the user is on that page)
so I've got a class which is just for the color, named bluecolor. I highlight the text on the template, choose class to make editable. I create the page and when i modify the editable attribute to bluecolor, nothing changes.
I'm suspecting it is because the css styles for the nav text is controlled by a # style as opposed to a .style class. I've also added a:link, a:visited, a:hover, and a:active to these text navs too.
I remember reading somewhere that a #style will always override a .style.
So how can I make the nav text for that particular page a different color? Please help...
to be more clear, I have these for the css styles
.twoColFixLtHdr #sidebar1 {
    float: left; /* since this element is floated, a width must be given */
    width: 202px; /* the background color will be displayed for the length of the content in the column, but no further */
    padding: 0px;
    margin: 0px;
.twoColFixLtHdr #container #sidebar1 p {
    font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, serif;
    font-weight:bold;
    font-size: medium;
    color: #374D86;
    padding-left: 20px;
    margin: 8px 0px 0px;
.twoColFixLtHdr #container #sidebar1 p a:link {
    color: #80763B;
    text-decoration: none;
.twoColFixLtHdr #container #sidebar1 p a:visited {
    color: #80763B;
.twoColFixLtHdr #container #sidebar1 p a:hover {
    color: #374D86;
.twoColFixLtHdr #container #sidebar1 p a:active {
    color: #80763B;
But on each individual page, I want to have the text (with the link for that page) a:link, a:visited, a:hove, and a:active be a different color. I tried doing a straight class style but it won't overwrite the styles above.
thanks,

Well, #style will not necessarily override .style. I've never heard that.
What you really want to be looking at is descendant selectors.
If you give the <body> tag for each page editable attributes, you can name each page differently, for instance body#homepage, body#contactpage, body#purplepage, and so forth.
Say you have a particular element that you want to be different on each of those pages. let's call it <div id="area51">.
Here's some CSS you could apply:
#area51 {
width: 150px;
background-color: white;
border: solid 1px red;
So on every page, that is what you would get for your div#area51.
Unless you also did this:
#homepage #area51 {
background-color: yellow;
#contactpage #area51 {
border-color: green;
#purplepage #area51 {
background-color: lavendar;
border-style: dashed;
Notice that I have only changed the properties that I wanted to be different from the original style for #area51.
In a more specific way, you can use this in conjunction with your menubar styles, especially handy if you are using templates.
Make sure every menu list item, at least at the top level, has a unique ID (li#home, li#contact, li#purple, to use earlier examples) Those should be in the Template, so that they are controlling throughout the site.
Although you can use any color indication you want, I prefer to use the same coloration that occurs when a menu item is hovered over.
So find that selector in the stylesheet, and add descendant selectors for those menu items, to wit:
body#contactpage li#contact a:hover, body#homepage li#home a:hover, body#purplepage li#purple a:hover {background-color: yellow; color: red;}
This is an extreme color choice, but to read it in English:
"On the page whose <body> tag has an id of contactpage, for the <li> whose id is contact, when the anchor is hovered over, make the background-color of the a yellow, and the text-color red"
That focuses specifically on contact on the contactpage, so highlighting it when that page is open.
Let me know if you need more clarification.
Here's a site where the departments are highlighted in this way: http://www.gravenimagedesign.net/PHA/

Template - editable region problem

Hi folks,
I'm designing a site using CSS as opposed to tables and I've
hit on a problem. For info the site is broken down into a 'header',
'left hand column' and a 'right hand column'. The 'left hand
column' is a class and on the template I'm trying to make it an
editable region, However when I've down editable regions in tables
in the past they're always worked but this time out when attempting
to make the left hand column editable the following message is
displayed:
You have placed the editable region "EditColumn" inside a block
tag. Users of this template will not be able to create new blocks
in this region. Move the region outside the block tag if you want
users to be able to do this. Now I'm not sure what I'm doing
wrong, however it is within this region I want to be able to edit
data. I want to be able to apply a Bg image to this region and also
add images or text and links - however I cant.
I have tried to edit the above on a separate DW8 file and it
works fine (which it should do) - it's just in the template version
I cant. Can anyone shed any light on this problem. I'm not a
hardcore coder so any breakdown in this problem would be absolutley
welcomed.
Many thanks
Tommisauce

I note that you have used the space bar as a layout tool (not
a great idea).
   <a
href="#">ADVERTISEMENT</a>
I also note that you continue to make the error of improperly
nesting tags -
<p align="left"><img
src="../image/Front_Page/IUKwebLogo.gif"
alt="Intuition
UK: Business Consultants" width="245" height="60"
class="Logo" /><div
class="MenuHeader">
Note that this is a <div> inside a <p> and that's
not a valid structure.
You also have things like this -
<p><p class="Copyright">Intuition UK
2007©</p>
an improperly terminated <p> tag.
Until you get a better grasp of HTML, you should probably
stay out of the
code.
The bottom line is this - DW will only do what you tell it to
do. If you
tell it to do something that will result in invalid markup,
DW will not
always prevent you from completing that task. If there is
invalid markup on
a template page, you will always trigger these alerts that
you are getting.

Problem with Nested Templates, and Editable Attributes

Hi all, I've run into the following problem. I have a
template called A. I created a nested template B from A. I made an
attribute editable to B, in A. The problem I am having is that I
would like that attribute still editable in a page derived from the
template B. As it is right now, the attribute is frozen, and can
only be editted by children of template A.
Is there a solution to my problem out there?

> Is there a solution to my problem out there?
Yes - but not one you will like. Don't use nested templates.
Why are you?
But you can investigate the use of the passthrough attribute
for editable
attributes....

Uneditable areas Dreamweaver CS4 templates

Hi, I set up my website with Dreamweaver CS4 and at the time made the body section editable only.
I believe that by default this also leaves the title tags editable in the head section (which they are).
I now want to make the meta tags and meta title section editable as well in the template so every page in my site has an individual editable area in the head of the HTML code which I can insert different information for each page that will not affect other pages upon saving.
So my question would be how can I convert the locked down code in the head of my template page back to editable regions.
Cheers.

Hi, sorry thought I had this template problem fixed.
Still trying to make the meta tags in my website template editable but when I apply the change below the meta tags seem to disappear.
I've put an example of what I currently have and what I am trying but with no success.
If anyone can spot any mistakes I would really appreciate it.
I have this..
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

<meta name="description" content="description is here" />

<link href="../css-file/css.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

And tried this..
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<title>Title</title>
<meta name="keywords" content="keywords are here" />
<meta name="description" content="description is here" />

As always, thanks in advance.

Dreamweaver CS5 not working with CS4 templates?

I upgraded from CS4 to CS5 of Dreamweaver today and so I opened a template up in CS5 that I made for my site in CS4. So everytime that I make a new page from the CS4 template it will look good in the editing view and I can edit everything I'm supposed to like it should. But whenever I test the page in my browser or the Live View it won't use JavaScript or it won't show me AdBrite ads in the page and it messes up my CSS. I have no clue why its doing that because the new pages from this template in CS4 work fine but new pages in CS5 from the template wont show up correctly. Oh and every other page that I made in CS4 works very well in the CS5 but the new pages in CS5 just won't seem to preview well. Do you guys know of any solution for this or how I can solve this annoying problem?
Any answers are greatly appreciated!!!

One thing to note if you attempt JulesN's solution of moving the DIV tag inside the editable region... since this move is to a "non-template" area.. on many pages of your site it will simply mean the removal of the DIV tag outside the editable region. You will need to manually go into each page and add the DIV tag back into the editable region as Template updates do not modify the content of those regions.. I tried this today and had hundreds of pages instantly stop displaying correctly before I realized the logic behind it.. I was able to recover. However if you are using nested DIV tags as containers.. they are all either one big editable region or you need to wait till Adobe fixes this and use CS4 as I'm being forced to. I have submitted as a bug as well.

How to insert a HYPERLINK in a template Editable Field?

Question: How to insert a HYPERLINK in a template Editable Field?
Hi
Does anyone know how to insert a HYPERLINK in a template Editable Field?
I want the link to always display the word "Cities".
But the URL will change with each child page.
Here's what I've got so far . . .
Cities
Thanks so much!

NOTE: This is to go into the TEMPLATE
Your best bet is to keep the hyperlink OUT of the editable Field and to make the HREF attribute of the link editable.
This would go in the head of your document:

This would go where you want the link to appear:
<a href="@@(href)@@">cities</a>
THE BETTER WAY: You can either paste these quotes into the appropriate places in your template or you can insert:
<a href="#">cities</a>
and click inside the opening <a> tag.
Then go to Modify > Templates > Make Attribute Editable
In the dialog box "Editable Tag Attributes" you should now see "Choose which attributes of this A tag should be editable."
If HREF is not showing in the drop-down, do Add and put it there.
Check the box to Make this attribute editable.
Give a name for this editable attribute (if you have more than one on a page, you will want it to be understandable, like "cities" for your cities links).
Make sure it is of Type URL
If you want a default URL in place, put one in the Default field.
Then push OK.
To use it, on each page, do Modify > Template Properties... choose the property to edit, and put the new URL in the entry field.
Press OK.

How to make link in a template editable in a page?

I am new to Dreamweaver. I'm trying to create a link in a
template where the URL is editable in all pages derived from that
template. I tried using
Modify->Templates->Make Attribute Editable..., but the
link still cannot be edited in any of the pages. Can someone help
me with this?
Thanks,

Sorry, that's just the way editable attributes work.

Just put the link inside an editable region. The link will
appear in
new pages made from the template, but you can edit or delete
the link
in those child pages.

Editable Attributes?

Hi there,
I am having some difficulty using dreamweaver's editable attributes for my template-based pages. I've followed dreamweaver's help instructions but I keep getting error messages and I don't want to screw up my layout.
I simply want the locked region of my side nav to custom size along with the vertically growing editable region of the body area of my page. I have about 30 pages based off of this template. Are editable attributes the best way to go about this?
Any suggestions? Thanks!

As Nancy mentioned, without seeing the code, or at least a preview of the page, hard to tell - please post a link for more help....
It sounds as though you have a sidenav region that has either a background image or color that you would like to expand vertically down the page as the content area expands? How is your page built?
If, for instance the side nav is placed in a table with a fixed height, and the content is in a separate table, try building a single table with two columns (or more columns depending on your needs) - then set the left column to the width and color attributes you have now, and it will expand in height along with the varying content of the right column.
As for the template, you can still lock the left cell within the template, and make the right cell your editable section just as you have now even thought it is part of one complete table. This will also work with css divs - depending upon how your pages are constructed... (in fact css is the preferred method, I used tables just as one example...)
Hope that is of some help - please post a link if this confuses more than helps...

Dynamic Heading not translated in report template "Value Attribute Pairs"

Hello,
I created a report in which I use application item names in the column heading of the items.
When I use the report template "Value Attribute Pairs" the heading displays not the contents of the application item names but the exact contents of the headings.
for instance:
application item name "trm_label_1" has the value : "Naam".
I created a report based on the SQL: select x.name from persons x
The heading of column "name" is: "&TRM_LABEL_1.".
The report shows the text "&TRM_LABEL_1." instead of "Naam".
When I change the report template in "Standard" the substitution is done well.
Can anyone explain what (not) happens and how I can fix this problem?
Gr.
Rob

Hi Rob,
You can do this by choosing as Headings Type: PLSQL in the Column Attributes.
You would have something like Deptno:DName:Loc:&APP_ITEM.
Where the first columns are normal text and the last one is an application item.
Regards,
Dimitri

Hi, Accidentally somebody screw up Photoshop CS4 and InDesign CS4 Master edition on a MAC computer in the school. The install discs did not start to run therefore I can't reinstall the 2 missing programs. I want to install the softwares, therefore I download those from here. The downloaded program refuse to accept the serial number which was given to the school when they purchased the Master Collection CS4 MLP A00. Thank you for your help, in advance.

Hi Jeff,
Thank you. I am a little bit busy at work, sorry for the delayed reply. I tried to solve the problem, but it still exists. The 3rd of the Adobe disk is damaged someway. I tried to run on my mac at home and it has a failure. So I think we have no other choice that to download the full pack of master collection. I had a discussion with the IT expert and he figured out that company does not exist any more from where they purchased the Adobe Master Collection for Mac and PC. So If you would be kind to help me, what kind of information ID or any kind of document would be needed to identify the purchaser institute (us). I don't think any of us has an account at the Adobe. I will try to figur out. I desperately need to replace Photoshop and InDesign as without them it's really harsh to teach the kids fot the graphic design.
Sincerely yours.

CS3-- Optional Tag Attribute problem

The pages to my site have already been created from a template. I need to add a frame redirect to the body tag on one page. So I added an editable attribute to the body tag in the template [attribute: ONLOAD, Label: onload, Type: text, Default: Frameredirect();] For some reason, when I try to edit the tag on the pages [Modify --> Template Properties] the dialog box says "No template properties available". I can see the frameredirect in the code. How come I can't edit it? Thanks

After I designed the site, my client changed all of the pages accept the home page. Those other 8 child pages look the same. I am new at this, however, so I refer to the Dreamweaver CS3 Missing Manual a lot. It made sense to me to go with a nested template.
Here's the code from the nested template...

Fluid grid template - editable region - resize not possible

Hi,
After quitting DW the first resizing problem was gone.
Now I saved the page as a template and inserted an editable region.
Then it wasn't possible anymore to recize the divs.
The lines are know yellow dotted.
Do I have to make editable regions in a different way?
See: http://www.ifacilityservices.nl/index.html
Thanks again.
Carla

Hi Nancy,
Thanks voor your reply!
Is it now not possible anymore?
I deleted the editable regions, but it stays with the yellow lines.

Cs4 template locks after comments entered

In a CS4 template, I want to leave the page title (<title>...</title>) editable. By adding comments before and after the "title" this can be achieved. However, as soon as I enter the exclamation point (!) at the beginning of the comments above and/or below the "title" line of code, all the html code below that point turns gray and locks me out. Here is a copy of the header:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"
    "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" lang="en" xml:lang="en">
<head>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" />
    
    <title>Welcome to the Website</title>
    
    <link type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" href="../css styles/alpha.css" />
Why does this happen? How can it be fixed? I am using XHTML on CS4 for Mac. Any thoughts?

A properly created Template will always have two editable regions in the head of the page:
1. A region called "doctitle" that wraps the <title> tag.
2. A region called "head" that is just above the </head> tag.
If your Template does not contain those regions, you did not create the template properly (always use FILE | Save as Template). However, you can certainly add them manually.
However, as soon as I enter the exclamation point (!) at the beginning of the comments above and/or below the "title" line of code, all the html code below that point turns gray and locks me out.
It turns gray because DW thinks you have entered an HTML comment, but you are not locked out of the markup, and should continue typing. And by the way, you MUST do this in your Template page, not a child page, obviously. Equally by the way, the code you pasted below is NOT from a DW Template, it's from a DW child page. Or have you got nested Templates? Ugh - that's usually a mistake.
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN"     "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

This must be code that you have manually modified after pasting it into your post, since DW does not use the lower-case letters in the markup as you have, and you have shown child page markup for modifications to be made in a Template page. To see how the markup SHOULD look, use FILE | New > Blank HTML, and then use FILE | Save as Template to save this new page as a Template. Now look at that new Template page's code....

Keep in mind that if your camera is newer than the last released version of Camera Raw (5.7) for Photoshop CS4, Adobe does provide a free solution for compatibility, as Curt has mentioned, through the use of the free DNG Converter application.
The way that works is this:
1. You get your raw images from your new camera into a folder on your computer.
2. You run the latest DNG Converter application and choose the folder.
3. It converts the entire folder full of images to .DNG files.
4. You open a DNG file as you would an older raw file, with your old version of Photoshop.
While the DNG Converter provides you a way to continue to use your older Photoshop software with a new camera, keep in mind that there are significant improvements in the raw converter in the latest version of Photoshop that may allow you to make better images out of your raw files if you do choose to upgrade Photoshop.

Error 150:30 CS4 (student edition) on a Macbook

I recently had a corrupted operating system and had to erase and reinstall, but had error with backup reinstall and now can no longer use any of my Master Collection CS4 (student edition) with an error 150:30 licence issue, all my information was lost for the past 2 years from my backups???what to do, can any one help???

Do you have your serial number(s)?
You can download and install some version of CS4 from this site:
http://prodesigntools.com/download-adobe-cs4-and-cs3-free-trials-here.html
Be sure to follow the Very Important Instructions to set your Adobe authorization cookie.
What I’m not sure is if the version downloaded from the above link will activate with student edition serial numbers or not.
