Dream weaver 8 modifies some closing tags

Hi all
Dreamweaver 8 modifies some html tags for example <br>
gets modified to <br />
Is this conform to a specific standard? Not a major problem,
I;d just like to know.

If your DOCTYPE is XHTML, than it will use the correct
syntax, like so:
<br />
Regular HTML doesn't require single "tags" to be closed, like
so:

Stop dream weaver from adding paragraph taga

Is this a setting or somthing? The new dreamweaver seems to
add paragraph tags when every I add images or start a text.
the paragraph tag adds space and thus changes alignment on
text and images that are viewable on all browsers except Internet
Explore for the PC. Many people use different browsers and
platforms. So a little upset that this is autamatically being added
in the new dreamweaver.
This is caused me much work becuase I have to always go
though sites and manually take them out.
Is there a fix for this?

If you insert an image on a new page, DW will not wrap it in
<p>, even
though it's illegal to have this structure -
<body>
<img>
</body>
But, if you then press enter, DW will wrap the image to give
this -
<body>
<p><img></p>
<p> </p>
</body>
in anticipation of a new paragraph of content.

IWeb - Dream Weaver Tag Team

I used iWeb to design my site
and really dig how user friendly it is.
I don't understand why pro web design apps can't be this easy.
I want to use dream weaver only to make updates to my gallery.
This would keep me from having to re-upload the whole site with
any small change. Could someone point out how
I could add pix to my gallery in dream weaver and keep the layout from iWeb.
When I try to edit or add images it acts as though it is locked.
Sorry to ask a dream weaver question here. Here is my gallery. http://macmcrae.com/Site/GALLERY.html

Grant...
When you publish a site, only the pages that have changes to them get uploaded. To see this for yourself, you will notice in iWeb that any page on the page listing turns red when it gets a change. This means "has changed and needs to be published". So, iWeb is smart enough to recognize when something has been changed and not yet published.
Then when you tell iWeb to publish the site, watch the dialog that appears and you will see that only the changes page(s) get sent. It is likely true that iWeb sends everything on that page (all photos, for example) even for a minor text change on the page has occured. But this is much better than iWeb sending the entire site.

How do web site created with After Effect differ from that created with dream weaver or Flash?

As I have some experiance not much in After Effect..I have created my website in After Effect., I have no knowledge of Dream weaver or Flash.. My web pages take too much time to open., due to it loads SHOCK WAVE and it take much longer time., were as I see many a website created in other software opens prety fast. As such I want to know whether creating website in After effect is right or not., and how to speed up

You do not create websites in AE, you can create at best animations and that is what you ahev done - produce a fat SWF file. You are really using the wrong tool and should better spend your time on learning HTML and CSS proper and do your website in Dreamweaver or otehr web design tools. And no, Flash is not a website design tool, either.

How to make an explicit closing tag in XML(e4x).

I'm working with some XML data and I'm having trouble forcing the way my closing tags are generated.
I want the long hand form, such as:
var xmlData:XML =
<code>
<codeSnippet>
</codeSnppet>
</code>;
But when I try to insert nodes within the codeSnippet node as child nodes(<snippet />, etc.), and then write to a file, it
makes the codeSnippet node look like <codeSnippet /> and the <snippet /> nodes are after, which will not work.
How can I make it NOT treat an empty node as <codeSnippet /> and explicitly keep it as in long hand form, such as:
<codeSnippet>
</codeSnppet>
Thanks...

I figured it out for myself.
So, does that mean I get the 10 points?

Closing tag in xml transformation

Hi experts,
I have the following ABAP code:
ABAP itab to XML string
CALL TRANSFORMATION id SOURCE data = ti_stocks[]
                         RESULT XML    ps_output.
The result in ps_output should be an xml like this
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16" ?>
<asx:abap xmlns:asx="http://www.sap.com/abapxml" version="1.0">
<asx:values>
<DATA>
<ZTABLE_STO>
<FIELD1 /> ABC</FIELD1>
<FIELD2 />0300</FIELD2>
<FIELD3 />1</FIELD3>
</ZTABLE_STO>
etc.
However, if my internal table ti_stocks contains the field1 with an empty value then the xml is incorrect without its corresponding closing tag:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16" ?>
<asx:abap xmlns:asx="http://www.sap.com/abapxml" version="1.0">
<asx:values>
<DATA>
<ZTABLE_STO>
<FIELD1 />
<FIELD2 />0300</FIELD2>
<FIELD3 />1</FIELD3>
</ZTABLE_STO>
etc.
How can I resolve this problem? I would like to have an open tag and a closing tag for every field.
FIELD1 is a char type field.
Thank you,
Oscar

Hello everyone, sorry for my english, I had the same requeriment for the end tag, the simple transformation give this result <xxx/> when the value was empty, and I did something similar to Oscar,
i did the simple transformation and the result whas and xstring, i used a function to pass it to string, and then I make a replacement.
here is some code:
* Genera XML
   data: xml_xstring          type xstring.
   data: w_xml                 type string.
   data: ixml                    type ref to if_ixml,
           streamfactory      type ref to if_ixml_stream_factory,
           encoding             type ref to if_ixml_encoding,
           ixml_ostream      type ref to if_ixml_ostream.
   data: resstream           type ref to if_ixml_ostream.
****Create an instance of the Ixml Processor
   ixml = cl_ixml=>create( ).
* ****Create the Stream Factory
   streamfactory = ixml->create_stream_factory( ).
* ****Create an Endcoding and Byte Order
   encoding = ixml->create_encoding( character_set = 'ISO-8859-1' byte_order = 0 ).
* * ****Create the output stream with a pointer to our binary string
   ixml_ostream = streamfactory->create_ostream_xstring( xml_xstring ).
* ****Set the Encoding into a stream
   ixml_ostream->set_encoding( encoding = encoding ).
****Call simple Transformation
   call transformation zdte_libros
   source zcaratula = x_doc
   result xml ixml_ostream.
*From xstring to string.
   call function 'HR_RU_CONVERT_HEX_TO_STRING'
          exporting
                 xstring = xml_xstring
          importing
                 cstring = w_xml.
* <xxx/> to <xxx><xxx/>
   replace all occurrences of regex '<([^><\s]+)( [^><]+)?/>' in w_xml with '<$1$2></$1>'.
Hope it helps someone with the same problem .

Illustrator into Dream Weaver

So first of all this is my first time here and I am very sorry if I forget anything or do anything wrong. I looked for this question and was not able to find it. I would appreciate any help that anyone can offer. Here is some of the information
I am on Windows Vista Business
Dell Optiplex Gx745
Intel Core 2
Adobe Web Premium CS3
Here is my problem:
My company is always sending our marketing pieces to an outside company and I was hoping to take on this and make my position in the company a little more solid. When the latest piece needed to be made I volunteered to design it and I thought the best way to do so was through Illustrator. I put a lot of work into designing it and the company loves it. It came out great but now I need to make it functional. It is suppose to be sent out as an email and have a link in the email to our website that will have a sign up form. I cannot seem to figure this out. I can make it into a PDF and then ad a link in that but when I make it into a HTML the link does not work. I have tried to but it into Dream Weaver but it only comes across as an image (jpg) and to add a button I cant put it on top of the image. Please help me figure out how to make my Illustrator file into a html with active links.

Anthony,
A regular plain image (like a JPEG or GIF) can't actually have a clickable area, you can create clickable areas by placing the image into an html document and using either a hyper link on an image or an image map to make a link to the form.
There are several ways to get what you want. One possible solution is to export your design from illustrator using the Save for Web & Devices command. The two most common formats for web images are JPEG and GIF. The JPEG format works well for continuous tone images and the GIF format is superior for limited tone Then you can open Dreamweaver, Insert the image into a web page and use the image map tools to draw a rectangular hotspot around the area of the image you want to be clickable. When the hotspot is selected you can add the address you want it to link to to in the Property inspector at the bottom of the interface.

Change language in Dream weaver CS5

Hi,
How can i change language of Dream Weaver CS5 from German to English?

This is as easy as it gets. Sorry to disappoint, but you rather be glad it is actually there and it's not like in other programs where you cannot switch languages at all. For all intents and purposes, this is not meant to provide an all out solution for flexible language switching, it is merely a fallback measure when the user needs to use prefab projects from the web or follow tutorials as wel las providing a compatibility fix for some plug-ins and scripts thatr do weird things in foreign language environments. Your program is still tied to the serial number you bought it with and that ultimately dictates any language settings. This also means that you cannot enforce other languages other than English. Would be pointless, anyways - you would have to have the proper Asian installer in the first place to even get the specific language files on your system. Same for otehr languages - a US/ North America installer will never give you Italian or German, just US English, Canadian French and possibly Spanish.

XML closing tags missing throws exception with SAX Parser

Hey,
I'm trying to create an XML Document from some HTML.
I am getting this exception:
[Fatal Error] :1:334: The element type "input" must be terminated by the matching end-tag "</input>".
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.RuntimeException: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: The element type "input" must be terminated by the matching end-tag "</input>".
     at server.XMLUtils.createDocument(XMLUtils.java:76)The xml is like this:
<html>
<input name="s" size="5">
</html>Is there some setting I can change in the parser to make it ignore missing closing tags?
Here is my current code
     public static Document createDocument(InputStream is) {
          try {
               Document doc;
               DocumentBuilderFactory dbf = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
               DocumentBuilder db = dbf.newDocumentBuilder();
               doc = db.parse(is);
               doc.getDocumentElement().normalize();
               is.close();
               return doc;
          } catch (Exception e) {
               throw new RuntimeException(e);
     }Thanks

That is not XML. It might qualify as HTML. An XML file would be
<html>
<input name="s" size="5"/>

PHP won't execute on Dream Weaver testing server

I have successfully installed an Apache server and MySQL using Xampp. Using Dream Weaver (CS5.5) I've created .php pages which (after setting up the site and testing server) successfully connect to a database. However, php code on those pages won't execute. The pages only display the text code when IE or Firefox links to http://localhost/filename.php. Following is the Apache log file entries for those failed attempts. [Tue Jul 17 08:20:03 2012] [notice] Child 2656: Starting thread to listen on port 443.

Anyone?

If PHP is running in other locations, then it's a configuration issue with the server whereby PHP is not allowed to run in the folder you have specified. I can tell you filenames and areas to look for, but I'm personally have never found the XAMPP installation to be the most intuitive when it comes to editing which is why I pointed you in their direction.
If you look in the httpd.conf file, you should see a DocumentRoot defined. Make sure that the site definition is within that document root. There should also be a Directory declaration ( <Directory "/path/to"> ) that should match the path of your DocumentRoot. It is possible to serve documents from different areas of your computer. Ususally this is done when you have things like phpMyAdmin above the root, so if you see multiple entries in there, some of which XAMPP installs itself, you should leave them alone and ask their support forum for help because they will know which entries the application puts in that you will not want to remove.

Dream Weaver CS 3 Image Insert

Hello. I'm new here, and probably don't have right forum but here goes. Dream Weaver CS 3. I am trying to set up my first test web page and seem to do okay until I get to images. When I insert image and select what I want, it says "not in root folder, do I want to save image to this folder" I click yes, then try to insert. All I get is some kind of a "form image" I take it to be - looks like a place holder. If I drag the image its name appears at the insert point but no image.   What am I doing wrong, or where do I post this? Thanks.

Hi,
You dont need spry, its a simple nav bar is all. Most likely was created by hand.
This is the CSS code for it.
#navbar {
     width:960px;
     height:1.4em;
     margin:0 auto;
     text-align:center;
     line-height:1.4em;
This is the HTML code for it.
        <div id="navbar">
             <a href="index.html">Home</a>
             <a href="about-artigas-plumbing.html">About Us</a>
             <a href="services.html">Services</a>
             <a href="plumbing-tips.html">Tips & Hints</a>
             <a href="contact.html">Contact Us</a>
        </div>
The div layer is a simple way to contain the links then it uses the CSS to control the layout.
That kind of code is applied to each page or you could create a template then put that code into it and apply the template to a page. Then all pages with that template applied to it can be updated easily.

Web browser is not displaying the right font style which I have chosen in Dream weaver

Hello frnds,
I am new to Dream weaver, I dont know much about dream weaver, I am just designing one for my personal use,
I have a problem with font.
I was downloading nice font style from website and I was using that in dream weaver, When I open the browser on the same computer where I have dreamweaver on, it is fine but when I try to open it with a different computer, I cant see my style font, instead of that I can see a different font, like a standard, or default font..
Some one please help me,,,

That is because the custom 'nice' font you're downloading to your computer is not available on other computers.
To overcome this problem, you should embed your font file as a 'Web Font' in your CSS.
You can use 'Google Webfonts API' to choose from one of many available fonts you can use through Google's CDN. Here's the link: http://www.google.com/webfonts
You have instructions on how to embed this to your webpage once you visit the URL mentioned above.
If you want to use your own Custom Font file, there may be a few limitations. You should ensure you are not violating a copyright by using a custom font on your website. Fonts have licenses too just like softwares. Some fonts can be used on the web. Others cant. You should read your font license document to find out if you can use the font on the web. Dont take this lightly. You may be getting yourself in big trouble if the font developer finds out you're using their font on your site without licensing them.
Once you're sure you're not going to be violating a copyright, visit http://www.fontsquirrel.com/fontface/generator and upload your 'nice' custom font there. Fontsquirrel will generate a 'webfont file' for this font and give it to you that you can download. Font squirrel will also give you instructions on how to use/ embed this code into your website for custom fonts to be visible.
Trust this helps.

Self closing tags appearing in xquery

I am working on a migration project where the weblogic is getting migrated from weblogic 8 to 10.x
my application uses xquery and when upgraded to higher version i can see some self closing tags getting created in the transformed xml which is not the case with 8.1.
for example:
I have given a simple declaration as below
let $a := <find an attribute value>
return
<abc:value>{$a}</abc:value>
if the "find an attribute value" returns null then in weblogic 8 the node will not be sent in transformed xml but in weblogic10.x it is parsing the node as self closing one like <abc:value/>
Is this an issue with migration? I know that the xquery upgraded to 2004 and I did took care of that part.

So workaround for me in this case would be? as i have number of direct mappings happening in my code of 8.1 and definitely I can't keep an if else block to make it work.
Well, as you've been relying on a bug then I guess you now have to correct your code.
I don't see how you can do it without using a conditional block.

Flash and dream weaver

I havnt tried it yet, but im just curious to get a head start
for when I do. I will have roughly 5 flash buttons and a movie clip
(with a rollover function for the buttons) all positioned around a
page... When I import them to dream weaver, will I be able to
position them how I want, or will I have to do it in flash as one
large movie so they all work together?
One other thing, non-flash related. In dreamweaver (if anyone
knows) will I be able to make objects even up on the page without
them shifting due to screen size/resolution. Not sure if I can lay
the entire thing out in a table or not. I lvoe working with the
layers except they move on the screen if its not the same
size.

I think you only have two options. first is, like what you
said, you should do it in one big flash file and embed it in the
HTML in Dreamweaver. but the disadvantage is that you will find it
hard to place other elements together with your flash. But the
second option is, in order for your site to be flexible, you design
a table where you can individually place your buttons and movie
clips inside. Add a little modifications in the actionscript if
your buttons are supposed to communicate with the movie
clip.
