CSS Comment Tags

Ok, I was given the suggestion of using comment tags in my
css code to make
it more readable. I did this by moving all my styles under
appropriate
comment sections, but then DW changed all my comment tags by
removing the
 opening and closing tags which really messed
up my css file. What
am I doing wrong that DW would change the code like this?
My Code:

#divWrapper {
width: 100%;
DW Modified Code:
COMMENT
#divWrapper {
width: 100%;

Thanks. Another user instructed me to use 
which is why I went with
that. But the correct way (as you suggested) fixed my styles.
Thanks!

CSS Comment Tags in Menu Tab?

Is there a way to add CSS comment tags to my FAVORITES menu
tab? Whenever I want to add comments to an external CSS document, I
have to manually type /*...*/. It would be great if there was a
comment button for CSS, like there is for HTML, so I could just
select the text I want to comment out, click a button, and it
automatically wraps the CSS in comment tags.

There is. It's on the Code toolbar.

Can you create a keyboard shortcut to insert a css comment (/* */)in DW?

hello DW knowers!
When writing code i like to use shortcuts for inserting commands.
For instance, to insert a html comment, i created a shortcut in the panel for creating shortcuts (you can do this finding in the shortcuts panel the 'insert' option and then find 'comment').
however, i did not find a way to create this for a css comment (/* */) and i find myself forced to use the coding toolbar to insert this.
I would really like to find a way to avoid this. Ofcoarse i can still type it in manually, or use the css rules panel to temporarely deactivate a rule, but selecting a piece of code and then typing a shortcut would be much easier.
Otherwise a great idea for the next upgrade of DW?
thanks for an answer, if there is a possibility
jo-ann

I use a Logitech G19 keyboard, which allows you to create one keypress shortcuts for virtually any keypress sequence. It has ten extra keys on the left side of the keyboard which you can program however you please (a total of 30 shortcuts). This particular keyboard is kind of expensive ($200) but there are other less expensive keyboards that offer similar capabilities. Think how many times a day you type <p> or how about <a href= . With a keyboard like this, you can do it in one keypress.

Firefox 4 seems to action on some html tags that are included within a html comment tag which it should not.

Consider the following html code where I open a textarea and include a comment tag within the textarea. Within the comment tag (which Firefox 4 should ignore) I've included a close textarea tag. Firefox 4 (unlike FF3 and IE) closes the textarea.
The following code is also available at
http://www.cems.uwe.ac.uk/caa/ffbug/index.html
We are about to start a textarea....<p>
<pre><nowiki><textarea rows='20' cols='40'>
Here is the textarea.
Inside these comment blocks I'll put a close textarea tag which Firefox should ignore but does not.
<p>

</textarea>
<p></nowiki></pre>
This code should be outside the textbox.

Try posting at the Web Development / Standards Evangelism forum at MozillaZine. The helpers over there are more knowledgeable about web page development issues with Firefox. <br />

CSS Comments in DW CS3

rally like the new preset css configurations that DW3
provides and the css comments are nice as well. However, they
bloats the code and many of the comments are not necessary unless
you are a beginner.
Does anyone know if there is a setting somewhere that will
generate the css without the comments?

Use a find/replace to delete them:
Find:
\/\*[\s\S]*?\*\/
Make sure regular expression is checked.

How to Edit Comment Tag in DW CS3?

I would like to customize the HTML comment tag for my own
preferences. I know how to edit the colors and font under
Preferences, but I would like to change the whole tag and add some
more spaces and dashes. How do I edit this in DW CS3?
Thanks..

That's invalid, I believe. You cannot have more than two
dashes on either
side, as I recall.

How to Map XML Summary comments/tags from OpenScript into OTM through Java

Hi,
I would like to know if there is a possibility of copying the XML Summary comments/tags of a test case method in Openscript as test action and expected results of a test case in OTM
The goal/reason is have to all the test case steps/actions and expected results and the corresponding automation code at one place so that maintenance is easy.
Something like a testcase method below from openscript
<Summary>
<testproperties>
<testcaseTiltle =" Automation of Expense Bill ">
</testcaseTitle>
<testcaseId>
</testcaseId>
<testAction>
Click Menu -> Main Menu -> Expense
</test action>
<expectedResult>
Expense form should be opened successfully
</expectedResult>
<testAction>
Enter the Expense Amount and Date
Click Save
</testAction>
<expectedResult>
Expense for a given date should be submitted successfully
</expectedResult>
</testproperties>
</Summary>
{{@TestCaseMethod}}
public void submitExpense()
....... automation code......
}

Did you find a way?? I need to do the same thing!!

!-- comment tag not working correctly - specific to one file

Today I started a new DW project. A couple hours into it, I notice that all my commented out information wasn't being distinguished in the code coloring. Is there some sort of a toggle that turns that off an on?
I've explored the prefs but found nothing.
Any help would be much appreciated.
PflipX

Have you got the closing tag in your comment? the general format is like this:

Put the above code in your document that has a problem and see if it works. Use this trick:
Insert a comment at the insertion point
Select Insert > Comment.In Code view, a comment tag is inserted and the insertion point is placed in the middle of the tag. Type your comment.
In Design view, the Comment dialog box appears. Enter the comment and click OK.
Good luck.

[Solved] Simple way to edit id3v2 comment tag in python?

I'm working on a project right now that is going to read the id3v2 comment tag from an MP3 file, parse some things from it, and then append some text to the end.
Right now I'm using id3v2 from extra to do this:
comm = commands.getoutput( "id3info '%s' | grep '(Comments): ()'" % fileName )
Then I use this to put it back:
os.system( "id3tag -c \"%s\" '%s'" % (commNew, fileName) )
I really don't want to rely on this package to insert this comment. I've been looking at eyeD3 and mutagen for a better way to do this, but I'm having trouble figuring it out.
I know there has to be a more elegant solution out there. Any ideas?
Last edited by ltpl4y3r (2009-04-05 05:00:52)

Thanks Zariel, I had looked at mutagen before, but had never been able to edit the COMM tag properly. After toying with it and dissecting mid3v2. I was able to come up with the following:
import mutagen.id3
filename = 'File.mp3'
id3 = mutagen.id3.ID3(filename)
frame = mutagen.id3.COMM(encoding=3, lang='XXX', desc=u'', text=[u'Great comment!'])
id3.add(frame)
id3.save()

Updating Comment Tag does not update file metadata

Hi,
If anyone has the answer to this question i'd really appreciate it. I've been through all my songs in ITunes 8 (8.0.0.35)and removed all the comments in the 'Comment' column. However when you view the details in Windows (right click on the file, select properties, then choose summary) the comments still exist.
Note: updating the artist, album, title, genre etc seems to update ok.
I've tried upating the ID3 tag version to version 2.4 on a couple of tracks and this didn't solve the problem.
Thanks

I'm using the same version (8.0.0.35) and I'm running into the same problem. I have the feeling that the comment tag is the only one with this problem.
Before this version, I could change the comment in iTunes (and see it reflected in WinAmp/Windows Explorer) or change it in WinAmp (and iTunes would reflect the changes).
Now this is not true anymore. *Is iTunes using a new version of IDv2 ?* Not supported by other apps ?
This is a major problem for me. I just lost 100s of comments, and even if I put them back who do I know this won't happen again ?
Anybody ?

COMMENT tag not compliant with HTML 4.01 Strict

Hello all,
I'm trying to make one of my JSP pages (or rather, the output that it generates) compliant with the W3C HTML 4.01 Strict standard. However, my applet tag:
<jsp:plugin type="applet" code="reale/survey/SurveyApplet.class" codebase="/Survey/" jreversion="1.2" width="1000" height="350" >
               <jsp:params>
                       <jsp:param name="campus" value = "<%= campus %>" />
                       <jsp:param name="dept" value = "<%= dept %>" />
                       <jsp:param name="username" value = "<%= username %>" />
                       <jsp:param name="email" value = "<%= email %>" />
                       <jsp:param name="role" value = "<%= role %>" />
                  </jsp:params>
                   <jsp:fallback>
                       Plugin tag OBJECT or EMBED not supported by browser.

</NOEMBED>
</COMMENT>
</OBJECT>When I run it through the W3C validator (http://validator.w3.org/), it comes up with "element 'COMMENT' undefined." From some brief research, there is indeed no COMMENT tag in existence. Is there any way in the settings to tell the Apache Tomcat server I'm using to NOT generate these troublesome tags? Or is there something in my JSP code I have to add/remove to do this?

Of course. The solution was painfully obvious: don't use the JSP tags but use the generated HTML. Then cut out the COMMENT and UNEMBED tags. Duh. Sorry about that.

Getting MP3 comments tag to show in iTunes

Hi
It seems when writing an MP3 Comment tag that iTunes needs the language to be specified with the correct three character code, or else left unused.
However Windows which I am also trying to support requires the language of the comment to be specified moreover the comment won't be visible
unless the specified language matches with the language Windows is running in. The solution for that is to define the language of the comment as xxx.
That means a messy solution is needed of writing two comments frames. Why I am asking here is to find out if iTunes accepts any three character codes for unspecified languge and if it could support xxx so that developers would not have to choose whether to support Windows or iTunes.

I can drag it to a playlist,
If it gets added to this playlist, it is in iTunes library.
Select it in iTunes, right click - Show in Finder to see where it is on your HD.
If it is not in the location shown in iTunes prefs > Advanced. make sure *Copy files to iTunes media folder when adding to library* is ticked.
Spotlight shows it residing in my Music Library,
What do you mean you *Music library*? There is no folder named *Music library*.

Everytime I open a comment tag 'pop-up,' the Thumb-Nail section opens, very annoying. Have tried everything I can think of. Any ideas? Thank you.

Every time (ALMOST) I open a comment tag 'pop-up,' the Thumb-Nail section opens, very annoying. Have tried everything I can think of. Any ideas? No other problems elsewhere, either in Adobe or Word or my entire computer for that matter. Very strange glitch. Ran several deep virus checks - nothing. Booted and re-booted. Entered different ways into Adobe, no help. Thought about my keyboard (wireless of course) might be doing it, but in other web-sites and in WORD - no problems.
I use WINDOWS 8.1. Also doubled checked my up-date status. Is there a chance that this is a continuing problem that is still being encountered from the last major Adobe up-date? Use Adobe for years with never a problem until the latest up-date. Parting thought, maybe just my batteries in my keyboard are getting low, or a really low threshold virus of some sort, no idea. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you! Charlie

these are the sites and the information that i followed and none of these things gave me a solution. i am still getting a second tab with every single window that opens. . . thank you for your help!
