Dreamweaver and iWeb problems

Here's the problem. I created a web page and because I needed
to put a script in the page, I used placeholder text "BOXTEXT" so
that I would know to open the page in DW, find the word BOXTEXT and
replace it with my script.
BUT, not only does the DW search box not find the word
BOXTEXT, it doesn't find ANY of the words in my document. I tried
changing the word BOXTEXT to AARDVARK and then searching for
AARDVARK - still it says it is not in the document.
What's the problem here? I am searching for text and not
Source Code, and this does work with other pages...
Any advice?
I tried updating DW MX with the 6.1 updater, but it claims
not to find DW in my Applications folder... when it is actually
there... sigh

Make sure you are in design view to search for text and in
code view to
search for code. You may have inadvertently put your key word
inside some
code so a text search won't find it. Switch to code view and
search for
your word in code. Next, try the notepad solution.

Using Dreamweaver and iWeb together

Can you publish a website made in Dreamweaver through iWeb?

iWeb cannot open or import html files.
You can re-create the webpages in iWeb by copy/paste text and images to the iWeb canvas.
You can also drag & drop the text. iWeb will add a texbox with the text and retains the styling of the text.
Try it.

Dreamweaver and iweb

Hello, I have a site (small) built with dreamweaver
and I wouln't like to do it again.
Is it possible to go through iweb to publish it
as an iweb site ?
Thank you
Mac OS X (10.4.9)

If you want to host the site on .Mac, subscribe to the service and then drop your Site folder(s) into the Sites folder on the iDisk. Drop the index.html file there also. You should be able to view your site using the url:
homepage.mac.com/yourusername

Dreamweaver and IP problem

I recently had my IP address changed by my host. Obviously
when I tried to FTP it didn't work. I fixed the problem by
obtaining my new IP address and added it to my Dreamweaver account.
FTP'ing is fine but I cannot see my website from my computer (Apple
MACBOOK). From any other computer in the world, my website is fine.
I have tried everything! Cleaned out the cache, restarts, manual
cache clean outs, terminal cache out, tried other WiFi, tried
different browsers and different users. To say the least, I am
lost.
Nothing worked.
But I just launched Dreamweaver and now it is telling me-
"Unable to read Preview in the Browser preferences. Please
remove all browsers from the list and add them again."
What is this and maybe this could be the problem????
I have no idea what to do.

> why would this be happening?
You haven't uploaded the Scripts folder that DW 8.0.2 places
in your local
site when you embed Flash on your page?

Anyone Using Dreamweaver and iWeb together?

Hi,
I have an existing site which was done with iWeb.
I'm now trying to replace some of the pages with pages created in Dreamweaver.
I've come up with a couple of options on how to make both tools work nicely together but, I'd like to see how others have done this.
Thanks in advance.

I don't think many people will be doing this - you need to make the decision to use either iWeb or Dreamweaver, but not both.
When an iWeb site is imported or opened with Dreamweaver, the results won't always look the same because of the way iWeb code is created - there is lots of it.
I don't think that you'll find that many people using Dreamweaver on this forum, as it is an iWeb forum and Dreamweaver is a steep learning curve, especially if you have no html experience - that is why most people use iWeb in the first place.
You won't find much here!

Chrome and iWeb problem

Hi there!
I got my Mac a few months ago, and I've started working on an iWeb site. Everything was going REALLY swell until I published it to a folder and tried to run it with Chrome (which is currently my default browser). Unlike FireFox and Safari, Chrome would not display the navigation bar at all which basically rendered the site unusable to Chrome users.
Is there a fix for this, or can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks,
ultimatelifeform22
P.S. This website is for a podcast that I'm working on, which makes iWeb a great app for me to use.

Static pages created in iWeb do not require a server to be previewed locally
Test it yourself with Chrome and you will see that it is not true for that browser. In any case it is a waste of time to try to solve problems which people claim to have with sites they are viewing locally. Until you can see it on a server you never know if the problem really exists or has much relation with the way they described it.

HomePage and iWeb problems

I am using HomePage as my download page for my iWeb site (which you can't do on iWeb, but does anyone know if you can do this on iWeb 8?). I have used this process before and have simply added pdf files to my Public folder in iDisk. When I try to add new files on HomePage, the files that I see on my iDisk are not shown in the editing section of HomePage. Why don't those files show up? I have always just dragged the pdf files into iDisk's Public folder and it has worked many, many times in the past. Can anyone help? What am I now doing wrong or differently?

Hi,
in iWeb 2 there is an option to link to a document (and I guess it is download but I never used that myself). I put my files in a .zip and upload them to a folder. Then I put a normal link (external page link) linking to the zip files on my pages and as soon as someone clicks on the link the download starts. That would work on iWeb 1x too I think.
I don't have .Mac so I can't answer the question, sorry...
Regards,
Cédric

Movie and iWeb Problem

I posted a Quicktime movie (7.04) in medium streaming. My friends with PC's can't open it. Are there other settings I should use?

The problem is a lot of pc users are on company
computers at work and do not have the ability to
install software.
My sister-in-law is on her PC at home, has the latest QuickTime and still cannot see my video (she hears the sound, though). I've tried it on both my iBook using Virtual PC and Windows XP Pro, and on a real PC running XP, and I can see and hear my video perfectly well.
What's up with that??
Kittenmommy.
PS. I'm exporting it as a Sorenson video right now - we'll see if that helps.

Run iWeb '06 and iWeb '08 on same startup drive

Anyone else have any experience with keeping iWeb '06 and iWeb '08 on the same startup drive, to be used independently?
My iWeb '06 is loaded with dozens (and dozens) of thirty-party templates that cannot be imported into iWeb '08 (ie 11Mystics, etc). Meantime, I have sites originally designed in iWeb '06 that are up and running that I'm responsible for updating.
I'm gradually 1-by-1 rebuilding each of these sites in DreamWeaver - but those constructed in iWeb '06 need attention from time-to-time, and I've no time to rebuild them from scratch.
Opening any of these .sites files in iWeb '08 causes major problems, I won't attempt again. And besides, that eliminates access to the older templates that allow adding in pages like Photos, Movies, Blogs, etc. And if I'm going to take the time to rebuild, I'm going to do that in Dreamweaver.
I'd love to move ahead and utilize the possibilities for new design options in iWeb '08, but the sites built in '06 need more or less constant care & feeding.
Anyone else manage to make this work successfully?
I've considered the obvious options, such as, A. Don't; or B. Boot iWeb '06 from an external startup drive - this won't work for reasons I won't outline here or C. Compress each in disk image and de-compress each time - every time I do this, the installed templates in iWeb '06 disappear.
Thanks - suggestions welcome from those who have tried this...

Roddy -
Thanks for responding! Absolutely I agree - not for the "sane and responsible." Which lets me off the hook. I've tried the alternatives you suggested - I have quite a few Macs running here - but I do most of the heavy lifting (graphics-wise) on a G5, so that's where I'd far prefer doing web design.
I have two internal HDs and two externals, but can't get Adobe to authorize another install on the CS3 suite - and the back n forth between Photoshop, Bridge, Fireworks, Dreamweaver and iWeb is near constant.
I had set this up on the MacBook Pro but it's driven me nuts trying to get files coordinated back and forth (at this point, I have over 20 active .Domains files I'm updating and keeping track of.) I guess my main concern was understanding what happens to the com.apple.iWeb.plist in User>Library>Preferences. I don't know what else they have in common to get mucked up (other than accidentally launching the wrong app, or clicking on an older .Domains file instead of the newer app.
Pretty soon all the older sites will have been rebuilt in Dreamweaver using CSS and I can forget all about this craziness.
And now with Leopard arriving in a week this could get really interesting.
Thanks, Roddy!

Problem with dreamweaver and Flash

Hi, maybe someone can help me, i have any problem with
dreamweaver and flash, i have a page and i have a menu and
sub-menu, and the same page i have a category en flash 550 x 700 (
photography and more... ) but when the menu to unfold
the menu to see under flash and it cant see ( sorry my
english is bad.... i hope you can understand me, and help me.. )
i dont now why always flash ever stay up, or first, and
another information under flash... this a problem... if you have
menus...
thanks.... have nice day.....

This is a drawback of using flash or any other active
content. By default, all active content including flash will
display over every other content and thats why your menu stays
under the flash movie. Some people make the flash background
transparent to show content under the flash movie, but that will
not work for menu items.
I would suggest that you make the menu such that it does not
overlap with the flash movie.

Dreamweaver and Windows Vista Problem

Hello,
I ran into a problem with my Dreamweaver - 8 application and
cannot find a fix. I open up the Dreamweaver application, 2-3
seconds later, I get the following error message, “A problem
caused the program to stop working correctly, windows will close
the program and notify you if a solution is available.” I am
using Windows Vista and believe the problem is associated with the
Vista operating system. I am puzzled by the fact that I have been
using Dreamweaver with Vista and have had no problems up until now.
I uninstalled & reinstalled Dreamweaver to no avail. I
restored my computer to an earlier date, and updated Dreamweaver,
and still have the same problem.
Any help to resolve this problem would be greatly
appreciated.

Hello Again,
I finally fixed the problem. I went into my network settings
and reset my network address. This did the trick, I went back and
opened up Dreamweaver without any problem.

Copy and Paste Problem in Dreamweaver CS5.5

Hi All,
I saw the posts for Dreamweaver CS4 for copy and paste problems. I tried all the suggestions but to no avail. My copy and paste would not work. Then I found what worked for me...
I went to Edit --> Keyboard Shortcuts --> and I changed from "Dreamweaver Standard" to "Dreamweaver Mx2004". For the moment, it is working. I am on XP Professional.
From the other posts the suggestions were...
Switch to Classic Mode
Delete the Configuration file
Uncheck "Enable related files"
It was a problem for sure, and hopefully I won't be back for this one :-) Good luck

Hello,
The problem has been solved by over writing the � font.properties � file in jre/lib/� .
The changes given as follows:
# Exclusion Range info.
# exclusion.dialog.0=0500-20ab,20ad-ffff
# exclusion.dialoginput.0=0500-20ab,20ad-ffff
# exclusion.serif.0=0500-20ab,20ad-ffff
# exclusion.sansserif.0=0500-20ab,20ad-ffff
# exclusion.monospaced.0=0500-20ab,20ad-ffff

Hi
Not sure if this is a Fireworks or Dreamweaver problem but
here goes.
I¹ve created a graphic in Fireworks CS3 on the Mac and
Exported the HTML and
related images. I open the HTML file in Dreamweaver CS3, all
fine so far.
Then I highlight the table and click the Edit in
Fireworks¹ button and it
throws up a warning dialogue saying Cannot launch and
edit. The Fireworks
table could not be found in the HTML. Please export from
Fireworks and
re-import the HTML into Dreamweaver.¹
What?!!
I¹ve only just exported it from Fireworks! It¹s
even got the Fireworks table
code in the Code section, so what¹s going here?
Has anyone else had this?

When you export the sliced graphics from Fireworks it places
them into a
table. In my instance the code says...

So it recognises Fireworks was the the graphics app and jumps
back to it
when you want to edit the image. Fireworks then displays (or
should) a
Done¹ button over the window. You do your alts and
press Done to update the
HTML and graphics back in Dreamweaver automatically.
That¹s the only table I was referring to Murray.

Dreamweaver CS5 and xampp problem

Hi folks,
i had cs5 trial installed on my last laptop
running vista 32bit
with xampp, i could edit wordpress files
no problem,
but i just got a new laptop
now running windows 7 64bit,
i installed cs5 trial fine and xampp.
I just went to edit wordpress files for the first time
and when i go to index.php as soon as i go to
'discover' i get dreamweaver 'not responding'
and it doesn't respond.
Anybody have any ideas?
Thanks
Daniel

Thanks for the reply,
there was an update for dreamweaver yesterday which fixed my problem,
i don't know why because the update was for browserlab and dreamweaver compatibility or something like that,
but it fixed my problem and now the files load instead of the program (not responding)
so now i'm happy lol.

Unfortunately I can't help you. But if it's any consolation, you are not alone. I am suffering from same symptom except it happens with any dynamic site I need to work on. And it doesn't matter whether the sites are local or remote.
I am running Windows 7 64bit as well in both of my machines, desktop (AMD) and laptop (Intel), and this happens on both of them and with any dynamic site, Joomla! for instance.

AOL and PC iWeb problems?

Why don't my iWeb pages appear in AOL? Is there a fix for this forthcoming from Apple?
I've seen posts here that complain about iWeb sites not displaying properly on PC's but all of my friends with PC's report no problem with my site. Are there certain circumstances or certain browsers that are specific to producing iWeb problems on a PC? (As in, is there anything I should avoid doing on my pages?)
Thanks...

Why don't my iWeb pages appear in AOL?
What are you seeing exactly? A url would really help in figuring out what you are talking about.
Is there a fix
for this forthcoming from Apple?
I doubt it.
