Dreamweaver 6 launch error - JavaScript error bcinit

Hi
I have DW6 latest version running on Win XP SP3 and am all of a sudden getting the strangest bug (I have reported it), but I am wondering if anyone else has seen it or has any ideas how to fix it?
FYI I have already tried completely uninstalling Creative Cloud, rebooting, running the Creative Clean utility to remove all traces of any suite and then reinstalling Creative Cloud (takes hours ) and still have the same problem which is as follows below (FWIW I have never used BusinessCatalyst, either):
I launch DW and get the following error message "While executing onLoad in BusinessCatalyst.htm, the following JavaScript error(s) occurred: In file "BusinessCatalyst": bcinit is not defined"
When I try to open a file I get the following error message "The following translators were no loaded due to errors: ASP.NET: has configuration information that is invalid. BCDynamicTranslator.html: has configuration data that is invalid. BCStaticTranslator.html has configuration information that is invalid. XSLTransform.htm: has configuration data that is invalid"
Once I clear the dialog DW loads. However, when I attempt to save a file I then get the message "While executing onLoad in _beforeSave.htm, the following JavaScript error(s) occurred: In file "_beforeSave": beforeSave is not defined"
In addition, the space in the Help menu for Updates is simply blank and there is no Edit > Paste item either (just an empty space).
One other clue is that after I reinstalled Creative Cloud and BEFORE I applied the latest updates it seemed DW ran OK (it was a quick check, so I might be wrong).
The problems above are rendering DW unuseable to me at the moment, and it is totally bizarre they remain after a complete reinstall, so any clues on what has happened/how to fix it would be greatfully received!
Thanks!

Hi John
So many thanks for that. I tried step 4 and deleted 2 WinFileCache files (neither of which were called what they said they were) and restarted DW and it now (so far!) seems to work again.
I have no idea what went wrong, but I am up and running again, so MUCHOS thanks again for your swift repsonse!

  • Dreamweaver 6.1 - JavaScript error when switching between open tabs

    When switching between open tabs a sequence of javascript
    errors occurs. I had not used Dreamweaver for about 2 weeks, and
    last time I used it with no problems.
    I have tried uninstalling it, OKing removal of all files when
    asked, re-installing it and updating with dwmx61_updater.exe, but I
    still get the same errors.
    This has rendered the software virtually unuseable, so any
    help would be greatly appreciated, as I'm working to a
    rapidly-approaching deadline.
    "While executing Browse_Back enabled in toolbars.xml, a
    JavaScript error occurred"
    followed by
    "While executing Browse_Forward enabled in toolbars.xml, a
    JavaScript error occurred"
    followed by
    "While executing Browse_Stop enabled in toolbars.xml, a
    JavaScript error occurred"
    The relevant code seems to be :
    <!-- Browser nav toolbar -->
    <toolbar id="Browser_Toolbar" platform="win"
    label="Browser Navigation" container="document"
    initiallyVisible="false">
    <button id="Browse_Back"
    image="Toolbars/images/MM/back.gif"
    disabledImage="Toolbars/images/MM/back_dis.gif"
    tooltip="Back"
    label="Back"
    enabled="dw.getDocumentDOM().browser.isCmdEnabled('back')"
    command="dw.getDocumentDOM().browser.backPage()"
    update="onEveryIdle"/>
    <button id="Browse_Forward"
    image="Toolbars/images/MM/forward.gif"
    disabledImage="Toolbars/images/MM/forward_dis.gif"
    tooltip="Forward"
    label="Forward"
    enabled="dw.getDocumentDOM().browser.isCmdEnabled('forward')"
    command="dw.getDocumentDOM().browser.forwardPage()"
    update="onEveryIdle"/>
    <button id="Browse_Stop"
    image="Toolbars/images/MM/stop.gif"
    disabledImage="Toolbars/images/MM/stop_dis.gif"
    tooltip="Stop"
    label="Stop"
    enabled="dw.getDocumentDOM().browser.getPageBusy()"
    command="dw.getDocumentDOM().browser.stopPage()"
    update="onBrowserPageBusyChange"/>
    <button id="Browse_Refresh"
    image="Toolbars/images/MM/browserRefresh.gif"
    tooltip="Refresh"
    label="Refresh"
    enabled="true"
    command="dw.getDocumentDOM().browser.refreshPage()"/>
    presumably the next error is caused by the previous ones
    failing :
    "While executing getCurrentValue in AddressURL.htm, a
    JavaScript error occurred"
    the relevan tcode :
    function getCurrentValue()
    var dom = dw.getDocumentDOM();
    var value = dom.browser.getURL();
    if (value && value.length)
    //check if is it not a temp file
    //extract the tail of the url
    var filename = value;
    var slashIndex = filename.lastIndexOf("/");
    filename = filename.substring(slashIndex+1);
    var tempIndex = filename.indexOf("TMP");
    if (tempIndex != 0)
    addRecentAddress(value);
    return value;

    You can try this simple fix -
    Quit DW.
    Find this folder -
    C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application
    Data\Macromedia\Dreamweaver
    8\Configuration\WinFileCache-*.dat
    (these folders are normally hidden - you may have to use
    Explorer > Tools >
    Folder Options to unhide them)
    and delete it.
    Restart DW. Works better?

  • Dreamweaver multiscreen preview Javascript error

    Hello, I am having trouble with JavaScript in multiscreen and Live View. When I add the following script to my site to redirect to my mobile site
    <script type="text/javascript">
    <!--
    if (screen.width <= 720) {
    document.location = "/mysite.html";
    //-->
    </script>
    it works as expected in the in the browser, redirecting only phones, but in Dreamweaver, the redirect is triggered every time I enter live view or multiscreen preview, regardless of the viewport size I have set. Is there something I am doing wrong?

    Probably not.
    DW's Live View really isn't a true browser, it's "most" of a Webkit browser. Live View really doesn't offer much more than an approximation of a Webkit rendering.
    If it acts correctly in the actual browsers when you hit Preview In Browser, you're likely in the clear.

  • Cs6 dreamweaver - javascript error with Clean up Word HTML . . .

    Very recently upgraded to CS6 from CS5.5. Every now and then, I have to run the Clean up Word HTML Commands function for a client. Never had a problem before. This time, I got this message:
    While executing onClick in Clean Up Word HTML.htm, the following JavaScript error(s) occurred:
    At line 2012 of the "Macintosh HD:Applications:Adobe Dreamweaver CS6:Configuration:commans:Clean Up Word HTML.js"
    The object is not currently contained in a document.
    I searched through the Discussions and found refernce to deleting MacFileCache-###.dat file in the Library Configuration folder for Dreamweaver CS 6. Did that, same thing. It also mentioned deleted the entire Configuration folder. Same result.
    I called tech support and was directed to go through the (count 'em) 14 steps on the Troubleshoot JavaScript page -- http://helpx.adobe.com/dreamweaver/kb/troubleshoot-javascript-errors-dreamweaver-cs4.html. Still no luck.
    Anyone else out there having this problem? What am I missing? Help!
    Thanks, Tim

    Hi SnakEyes02,
    That could be. Let me know when you have grabbed these. They were Word docs that I saved the same way I always have done (Save As, Format: Web Page (.htm)), creating .htm files that work in CS5.5 Dreamweaver and earlier versions.

  • Dreamweaver CC wont work Javascript Errors

    This just started withing the last few days. It might be due to a restore I did on my Mac from a time capsule. It's the only thing I can think of.
    "Unable to open script file" Macintosh HD:Applications:Adobe Dreamweaver CC:Configuration:Shared:MM:Scripts:CMN:..." and a number of .js files within this folder like string.js, TemplateUtils.js and others because they are missing. the folder is empty...
    I can't use the program because these notices pop up non-stop.
    I looked at this help article "http://helpx.adobe.com/dreamweaver/kb/troubleshoot-javascript-errors-dreamweaver-cs4.html# main_special_char" but it doesn't seem to apply to CC, at least the locations seem to be different.
    How can I get these files?
    Thanks

    It applies to CC, the locations are the same you have to turn on hidden files to see the folder you need to access.
    #4 from that list usually takes care of Javascript errors when opening the program.
    Here's a better page for that info: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/494811
    Turning on hidden files is a bit trickier on a Mac I guess, but one of these should work for you...

  • Javascript error at startup, file open and shutdown

    I am using Dreamweaver CC on Windows 7, 64-bit.  Starting with the last CC update to Dreamweaver, I get a javascript error at DW startup, file open and DW shutdown.  The application seems to work fine, but the errors happen everytime and are always the same.  At startup, it complains that a variable bcinit does not exist in file "BusinessCatalyst."  At file open, the error is in file "_onOpen" onOpen is not defined and at shutdown, in file "TeamAdminTempDelete" delTempFile is not defined.
    I have no idea what is going on.  Any suggestions?

  • CS6: Edit - Keyboard Shortcuts javascript error

    Does anyone know how to fix this:
    In CS6, when I right-click a new snippet and select Edit Keyboard Shortcuts, I just get a javascript error, the same error I get if I try to create a keyboard shortcut directly from the menu at the top of the screen, Edit -> Keyboard Shortcuts.
    The error is "At line 321 of <path>\Keyboard Shortcuts.js getMenuTree: Argument number 1 is invalid."
    After that, where the list of standard shortcuts should appear, the list is blank. All the other built-in shortcuts also are blank, and trying to duplicate the standard set  just creates a blank set and doesn't let me add anything. Deleting Dreamweaver's cache file, the blahblah.dat thing, doesn't fix it.

    Troubleshoot JavaScript errors.  Start with steps 10 & 12.

  • JavaScript Error when adding Insert Record Server Behaviour

    Hello,
    I have searched the Internet and the Adobe Community but have yet resolved a problem.
    Everytime I go to Server Behaviours and choose Insert Record I get this error:
    I have never had this error before and I have used the function many times. Some people are saying it is corrupt configuration files, which I have deleted and still the error persists.
    I am now stuck and cannot do any more work until I have fixed this problem. Any help would be greatly recieved.
    Just so you know I am running Dreamweaver CS5 on Windows 8.1 Enterprise.
