CS5.5 XHTML vis HTML

Why is CS5.5 assigning HTML extensions rather XHTML?
Ken.

John Hawkinson wrote:
the EPUB Content Documents 3.0 specification unambiguously states in
Section 2.1.1 under File Properties:
The XHTML Content Document filename should use the file extension .xhtml.
This means CS5.5's export to EPUB has got it wrong, doesn't it?

Batch Changing Dreamweaver files from XHTML to HTML

Almost all of my Dreamweaver files were created in XHTML
mode. In other
words, when I created a page and was asked whether I wanted
to make it
XHTML compatible, I said YES.
About the time I moved my websites from my PC to my Mac, I
finally
realized that XHTML is a lost cause and changed my doctypes
to HTML. But
I just discovered that even PHP include files that have no
doctype at
all automatically insert <br /> instead of <br>.
So I'm assuming that
there must be some invisible code that says "Format this page
for XHTML!"
So I'm wondering if there's a way to change every file in an
entire site
(or all my sites) from XHTML to HTML.
Thanks.

I use XHTML because it forces good coding practices such as
always closing
tags. The usual reason most people give for not using XHTML
is that IE
chokes when it is served as xml+application instead of text.
XHTML Strict
does not allow target="page.html" but transitional does so I
stick with
transitional.
I won't use XHTML 1.1 because I don't like the modularization
part of the
spec. I like a nice standard spec and don't want to create my
own picking
and choosing which modules to include.

DW CS5 - PHP in HTML file - no display in DW live view

Have DW CS5, Local IIS 7 (Win 7 64x) testing server (Server Model: PHP MySQL) set up and working. External browsers render .html files with PHP fine (URL=http://localhost/testphp.html), DW Live View will not parse/display the PHP with ".html" extension. No ".htaccess" file, DW PHP Tag Library has all PHP "Used In:" boxes checked. Example:
Example 1
File name: testphp.php
<html>
<body>
<h1>Hello There</h1>
<script language="php">
echo "Hello World";
</script>
</body>
</html>
DW Live View and external browser URL: http://localhost/testphp.php:
Hello There
Hello World
Example 2
File name: testphp.html (same content as above, just filename extension changed)
<html>
<body>
<h1>Hello There</h1>
<script language="php">
echo "Hello World";
</script>
</body>
</html>
DW Live View:
Hello There
external browser URL: http://localhost/testphp.html:
Hello There
Hello World
How to configure DW CS5 to display PHP in DW Live View with file extension= ".html"?
Thanks in advance, have spent 2 days trying to accomplish!
Steve

File name: testphp.php
<html>
<body>
<h1>Hello There</h1>
<script language="php">
echo "Hello World";
</script>
</body>
</html>
This is not PHP code
The red code part should read as to be classified as PHP script
<?php echo "Hello World"; ?>
File name: testphp.html (same content as above, just filename extension changed)
<html>
<body>
<h1>Hello There</h1>
<script language="php">
echo "Hello World";
</script>
</body>
</html>
Apart from the same mistake as above, this file will not be recognised as containing PHP without the PHP extension. You can setup the server to accept HTML and to interpret same as PHP, but I would not recommend this.
DW Live View:
Hello There
external browser URL: http://localhost/testphp.html:
Hello There
This is amazing! With the code above? If you hadn't told me I would not have believed it. I tried it on my humble setup and you are correct. It works using the PHP file but not the HTML file. It doesn't matter, it is still not correct.
How to configure DW CS5 to display PHP in DW Live View with file extension= ".html"?
It is not up to DW to determine, it is the PHP server that determines whether PHP in an HTML file will be shown. Have a look here http://php.about.com/od/advancedphp/p/html_php.htm .Once again, I do not recommend this
I hope this helps.

Transforming XHTML to HTML

Hi all!
Here's the deal: I'm trying to transform an XHTML document to HTML using XSLT and the Tranformers in the JAXP. So far, I can get documents that are entirely text (w/ no HTML tags at all) or documents that have tags but no text! Basically, all I need to do is strip the xml declaration from the top of the document and replace
tags with <br> tags (get rid of the trailing slash). Any suggestions on the correct XSL templates to use? Is there a simpler way of doing this than using XSLT?
Regards,
V.

You basically want to do an identity transform (outputs what was input), but specify that you want the output formatted as html. I did a quick search for identity stylesheet and this is what I found (untested):
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
<xsl:template match="node()|@*">
     <xsl:copy>
          <xsl:apply-templates select="node()|@*"/>
     </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
My xsl skills are fuzzy, so we'll just assume it works and let you test it. You also want to include the following rule, which generates html style tags and leaves out the xml declaration:
<xsl:output method="html"/>
As to whether this is the easiest way to do what you want, I really don't know. Maybe DOM or JDom have an output writer which can use html style, or maybe it's not that difficult to write your own.

EPub files HTML or XHTML?

Until today, I was exporting ePub files from Pages. It produces XHTML ePub files, which I then edited in BBEdit. The edits worked, but there were myriad other problems, so…
…I bought CS5.5 and…
I noticed several things:
1. InDesign 5.5 doesn't export XHTML formatted files, but HTML.
2. When I checked the syntax of these files in BBEdit, there were the following errors:
     Unknown or invalid DOCTYPE detected; syntax checker will assume "HTML 5".
     Document type doesn't permit attribute "xmlns" within element "<html>".
     Document type doesn't permit attribute "xml:lang" within element "<div>".
3. In addition, when I rezipped and sent the ePub to iBooks, the formatting I'd added wasn't there (though it had previewed perfectly in BBEdit and browsers).
4. I then replaced everything above the opening <head> element with the lines from a Pages-exported file. The error messages disappeared, but the formatting still wasn't there in iBooks.
As a near-novice, I can't figure out what's going on. Is there some kind of mismatch between XHTML and HTML?
Thanks.

For what it's worth, the formatting appeared correctly in iBooks when I replaced this line (which appeared immediately below the <head> element)
     <div id="x03-Preparing.html" xml:lang="en-US">
with this one:
     <div id="x15-Preparing.html" >
(removing: xml:lang="en-US")
The language declaration was already made above. See whole section:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html
PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd">
<html xml:lang="en" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
     <head>
              <title>03 Preparing.html</title>
              <link href="template.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
     </head>
     <body>
          <div id="x03-Preparing.html" >… (etc.)
I remain puzzled about HTML vs. XHTML. Liz Castro says the ePub's content files should be in XHTML. Not true?

Just let CS5 publish an html file and either build into that page or copy from that page into another. I do not have CS5, so I don't know what it is producing for embedding code. With the newer versions of code, you might need to include javascript files and possibly other lines of code in the html file. Your best bet is to have a working version of the page that Flash produces and just copy any unique stuff from it until your other pages displays what you want.

XML-XHTML-HTML Whats the big deal?

I have become 'fairly proficient' with HTML v4.0.1 transitional.
All my new pages validat w/W3C.org.
Why do I need to learn XHTML or XML?
What's the advantage of using these 'X' languages?
Can one justify the time/effort to transition to one of them?
I will happily go for it if there is some benifit.
Not trying to be offensive.
Just don't want to waste time if it isn't going to help.
Dan H.

A lot of hot air has been expended over the years concerning the benefits of XHTML over HTML and Strict over Transitional - and yes, I hold up my hands as one of the guilty.
About 10 years ago, the W3C decided that HTML was too sloppy as the markup language of web pages. HTML 4.01 was rewritten to conform to the stricter standards imposed by XML. That's what XHTML 1.0 is. It's exactly the same as HTML 4.01, apart from a handful of rules, such as:
tags must be properly nested
all opening tags must have a closing tag or use /> shorthand
all attributes must be in quotes
all attributes must have a value, so checked becomes checked="checked"
all tag names must be in lowercase
If you know HTML 4.01, you can switch to XHTML 1.0 with no difficulty.
At the same time, the W3C decided to deprecate a large number of tags and attributes. Deprecate simply means they are scheduled for removal from a future version of the language, so should be avoided. That's the difference between Transitional and Strict. In Transitional, you are allowed to continue using deprecated tags and attributes. As long as your code is valid, it makes very little or no difference which you use. Aiming for Strict is probably a good idea, though, because the deprecated tags and attributes are features that it's now recommended that you use CSS for. So, if your knowledge of CSS is good, you can probably switch to a Strict DOCTYPE tomorrow. If it's not so good, you probably need the Transitional DOCTYPE. But again, it's whether your code is valid that matters the most.
The W3C's grand plan of moving the web to XHTML hit a massive brick wall when everyone realized that the draft of XHTML 2.0 was not backwards compatible with either XHTML 1.0 or HTML 4.01. The W3C had grandly declared that version 4.01 was the end of the line for HTML, but is has now eaten its words, and work is far advanced on HTML5. The good news is that if HTML5 ever becomes the mainstream markup, it's designed to be backwards compatible with both HTML 4.01 and XHTML 1.0, although all of the deprecated tags and attributes will have gone.
As for XML, it's a very simple language to learn. It's basically just a structured way of presenting data. One of its most common uses is for RSS feeds. The advantage of XML is that it doesn't matter which database the information is stored in, it's presented in a text format that is a universal standard. If you're working with data-driven sites, you should learn XML.

How to export HTML from Indesign CS5

Hi there, I was trying to automaticly export a selection (frame for example) of my indesign active document in CS5 into an HTML file. I did that with CS5.5 and i was able to do :

But surprise ! in CS5 you don't have an HTML export option........you have a "export for Dreamwaver" option ! this is ok I mean whatever....but now how do i do that in my script ?
The customer works on CS5 obviosuly don't want 5.5 for now
TY for heling folks

I need some help please !

var myMenuAction:MenuAction = app.menuActions.item("Dreamweaver...");
myMenuAction.invoke();
but then you have to set the exportOptions...and all this automaticly and after trying it seems so complicated for what i intend to do....for the record in CS5.5 i do activeDoc.pageItems.item(i).exportFile("HTML", htmlFile, false); and it is exactly where i want to go...........

Not exactly sure how you where planning to display that HTML content in relation to the overall page, but given the limitations of Flash... that may just not be possible...
But, it would be a simple matter to display an HTML iframe over the top of or behind a Flash .swf... So while the iframe would not be a part of the .swf, it certainly could be designed to make it look as though it were.
Controling the stacking order or layering of content on a Web page is accomplished through z-indexing. Correctly positioned and z-indexed, the iframe could apear over the top of the .swf... the .swf in effect being the background... OR the iframe could appear behind the .swf and with a transparent section in the .swf, the iframe would appear through that hole. If there is navigation or links in the iframe, they will be blocked by the .swf though.

But this may be an option....

Firefox runs Java applet if in an html file, not if in xhtml file. Google Chrome, and previos version of Firefox OK. Firefox is 13.0.1, Java is 1.6.0_12

Applet is signed, but signature not verified. Firefox should ask permission.
If applet is in an html file, permission is requested and all works OK.
If applet is in an xhtml file, it is not recognised. Changing the file extension from xhtml to html restores correct working (but I do need to run these files as xhtml, so that does not solve the problem!)

Your Java is very out of date, so please update to Java 7 update 5, and test again.
Then, try Resetting Firefox. [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]]

Firework HTML not working on DREAMWEAVER CS5

When i import to dreamweaver cs5 a firwork html , it will show but when i preview it or upload it the button states will not show. Down state, over state.

IMHO, FW HTML was always wonky. Bring your images only into DW, and let DW write your code.

Installing CS5 Design Standard on my powerbook

i would like to install CS5 Design Standard on my new Powerbook without a DVD reader and can't find the place where i can download the two files (design standard and acrobat professional)? I have the two serial numbers.

Thank you very must for the information.
I still have a problem by entering my serial numbers. When I check the mail with the the serial numbers that I’ve received in 2011 from Adobe (for CS5 Design Standard en Adobe Professional) it is mentioned that the language is DUTCH.
Could that be the problem why I get a message “serial number incorrect” ? I think the software I downloaded is an English version.

My computer died, trying to download CS5 onto new computer. It is not accepting my serial no.

I had photoshop on my computer which is now completely dead. Plus I have photoshop on one other computer.
I am not able to get my serial no. to be accepted on my download from the following site.
https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-product-downloads.html
here I found 2 files that I was to download. I was told by the forum that I should put these into a single file and click on the exec. file to get it started. This worked. However, I could not find the photoshop cs5 that I am familiar with. Because I wasn't able to get my serial no. to work, I signed up for the trial but it didn't have all the range of tools and the program looked unfamiliar.. So my other question is: which file was I supposed to download in order to get it to work?
in summary:
1.serial no. won't work on the download
2.my new computer doesn't have a dvd writer and Download looks unfamiliar with only a few tools.
If I purchase a DVD writer, would my disc be usable with the serial no.?
thanks in advance for any help!

Thank you for your reply. It is helpful, but not completely so. I was super careful with the download, but not being a computer person,there was not enough information at a beginner level. After spending literally hours with various chat people, I was given a link. It was indistinct and the woman narrating it was vague in her communication. It didn't help or cast light on my issue. In the end I bought a dvd writer. Wish I had done this earlier on as in no time my disc was installed.

Design Premium CS5 installation problem on OS 10.9.2 Mavericks.

I recently switched over to a new macbook pro and tried migrating everying over with the Apple migration manager. While Photoshop and other products seemed to move over just fine, InDesign continued crashing everytime I tried to open. I tried the suggestions to fix this with no luck.
I have now uninstalled Design Premium CS5 and then downloaded it from: http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-product-downloads.html
However, when I try to open the dmg file, which was saved to my desktop, I get an error message: "The following disk images couldn't be opened: DesignPremium_CS5_L image not recognized."
How do I get my CS5 to install on my new computer?! Operating system is OS 10.9.2.
I have my serial number, but it doesn't help me if I can't get the download to install on my machine...

Hi Suzsav,
Design Premium CS5 is not Compatible with Mac OS 10.9.2

How can I download and install PCS5 (i have serial nu) when MacBookPro only shows Bridge CS5 and defaults to CS4?

I may have inadbertenly deleted CS5 Photoshop in error or it never installed. I had a time when HD was 99 percent full so I started deleting CS3,4 etc Photoshop, Bridege. I remember downloading for this laptop the CS5 for Mac , Bridge, Raw, DNg all that but it was over a year ago.
Download file shows unable to install CS5 Photoshop not all there (paraphrase). I cannot seem to find support at Adobe web site where downloads are available as long as they have your information. My information is all there.
I don't understand the new Download Manager but i downloaded it and it seems to deal with creative suite and mobile apps.
Do I have a conflict with my outdated unsupported Creative suite from pre intel Adobe I think CS7? I was on phone for long time. the lady couldn't speak good english . She put me on hold after asking twice (two holds) if she could transfer me to tech support. then bumper phone is dead, i.e. i got cut offf. So am on phone again.
Am almost 70 and do not want to buy a subscription for photoshop to edit when i can live with CS5 and i would like to upgrade LR to match CS5. Everything works on my IMAC since I paid for CS5. It is this laptop I having trouble getting CS5 Photoshop installed. Do I have to agree to the free Creative Suite trial? I don't want to shoot myself in foot, i.e. ruin chance to just keep using what I own. I understand they want us all to pay a monthly subscription for all the applications we paid good money for to keep upgrading. Nice to be able to change rules after ownership. I wish Adobe hadn't been bought up my sd;fans as it has gone downhill from their logos to their ruining apps like Word did with adding a zillion icons when we all know how to use shortcuts to choose Levels. I hate the new format it is more confusing. I spent a lot of money learning and loving Photoshop.
Please help . What do I do?

Hi,
I hate to say so, but I'm not far behind you in years. So anyway I'll try and help you out as a user and forum volunteer.
So let's see if I can properly answer your questions.
First off, never delete Adobe products on a Mac. You use the uninstaller found in the program folder. Photoshop CS5 for example,
Use the CS Cleaner to get at those bits the uninstaller missed.
Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6
Here the direct download link from Adobe for CS5 Installers. Mac included.

https://www.adobe.com/account/my-products-services.html
Sign in with the adobe ID and password you registered your products under.
Under "My Products" You will see what you purchased and a triangle next to it.
Click on that triangle to see your serial numbers.
If it is an upgrade, get the serial number from the previous version while you are there.
That should be enough for you to go on. Any further questions, I'll give it a try.
Don't worry about Creative Cloud. Adobe might advertise it, but you decide if you need it.
