Dreamweaver Changes Code

Mutter mutter!
Absolutely horrified - DW8.0.2 appears to act like a
Microsoft product and changes code on opening.
I have recently become aware that after having corrected
every fine detail to meet W3C validation - including changing from
<body onLoad=
to
<body onload=
to comply . Just fine!
Now whenever I return to open that same file to modify
content only - DW has reverted my code to <body onLoad=.
I thought only FrontPage did that. YUK!
Check it out here at one of my clients sites.
www.arkits.com/index.php
I am using the following DocType:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0
Transitional//EN" "
http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="
http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
My Preferences :
Under Code Rewriting I have the following "set"
- Remove extra closing tags
- Warn when fixing or removing tags
- Never rewrite code with default extensions -.as .asr .asc
.asp .ascx .asmx .aspx .cfc .cfm .cfml .config .cs .ihtml .js .jsp
.php .php3 .vb .xml .xsl .xslt .xul
- Special characters
- both active content - insert and convert
Can someone please explain and tell me what property setting
would stop same - or is there a workaround.?
Thanks in anticipation
John

I have this page -
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0
Transitional//EN"
http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="

<meta http-equiv="imagetoolbar" content="no" />
<meta name="MSSmartTagsPreventParsing" content="TRUE"

<meta name="robots" content="index,follow" />
</head>
<body onload="foo()">
<p>This is a test</p>
<p>of a page </p>
</body>
</html>
I save it. Close it. Reopen it. The code remains the same. My
Preferences are quite ordinary. So, I cannot reproduce your
complaint.
And for what it's worth, your Microsoft rant is misplaced
here.

Error: Making this change would require changing code that is locked....

DWCS3
Rebuilding site -- I know this is a common problem, but what are the steps to resolve it?
Error: "Making this change would require changing code that is locked by a template or a translator. The change will be discarded."
Click OK and the change is made anyway, oftentimes resulting in loss of document CSS and dynamic code, which is then unretrievable. EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING!!!
There is another code at the top of all documents using the template:
""
However, this line has always been in my previous documents and created no problem.
The oddest thing is, I can be in an editable region of a document, click on an image to edit in Fireworks, edit, click DONE and it comes back in DW with that error. ???

Looking at DW preferences, I found two Fireworks editors listed for .png, .gif, and .jpg. Maybe that was causing a problem.
Don't know if this will help, but....
Here is sort of what my template code looks like:

Capturing change code/Reason code in CAT2 transaction for time change

Experts,
Wanted your suggestion and expertise in a solution where in CAT2 if a user changes the time/wbs element/tax area/work type he should be forced to put the reason code for change. The change event would populate/capture the change code, reason for change at cell level in CAT2
Your pointers would be of great help

The following enhancements are required to achieve the new pop up window functionality:
1.     A new customer field should be added to the CATS time entry screen in the CATSDB.
2.     A new check table should be created in CATSDB containing the allowable drop down entries for the new field.
Customer fields are inserted into the CI_CATSDB structure. This structure is contained in the database table for the Time Sheet (CATSDB).
Steps:
1. Create a customer project using the SAP enhancement CATS0005.
2. On the initial project administration screen, select the Enhancement components field and choose Change.
3. Select the entry CI_CATSDB and choose Edit -> Components.
4. Create the structure CI_CATSDB.
5. Insert the new field to the Time Sheet database table into the structure.
    Select the data dictionary type CHAR
6. Check and save the structure.
7. Activate the structure.
8. In the Cross Application > Time sheet section of the IMG Choose Make field assignment.
9. Assign the new field to the view.
10. Assign a number from 1 - 10 specify the name of the field, u201CChange Reasonu201D.
Then Conditions Check for New Field:According to requirement

Using Spry how to stop Dreamweaver CS3 from Changing Code

Hi
I am using Dreamweaver CS3 to build/maintain a website www.ghoter.net. I started using Spry to insert data from an xml file as I need the data in the xml file to show up on several different pages, includeing the home page. The data in the xml file changes from time to time. This is working wery well. But I am having a problem with Dreamweaver automaticly changing a line of code in the html files every time I make a change to the html file. The line of code that is being changed is in the head of the program.
This is the line of code that is being changed: The xml's name is data-3.xml The date from the xml file goes at the top of the left collumn.
The good code is: var ds1 = new Spry.Data.XMLDataSet("data-3.xml", "customers/customer",{distinctOnLoad:true});
The above line of code is automaticly being changed to this below, which does not work:
var ds1 = new Spry.Data.XMLDataSet("data-3.xml", "customers/customer",<MM:BeginLock translatorClass="MM_SPRY" type="MM_SPRY_DATA_REFERENCE" orig="{distinctOnLoad:true}" ><MM_DYNAMIC_CONTENT DYNAMICDATA=1><MM:DECORATION HILITECOLOR="Dyn Untranslated Color">{distinctOnLoad:true}</MM:DECORATION></MM_DYNAMIC_CONTENT></script><MM:EndLock>);
I can replace the bad line of code with the good code just befor saving the html file and the good line of code will be saved with the file and the web page works as it should.
Any help would be appricated. Thanks
Jack Burn

Hi Jack,
I think (not sure though) that the Library Item is causing the problem. I never use the Library Item because server side includes are far more efficient and need less maintenance.
Have a look here http://foundationphp.com/tutorials/sprymenu/ssi.php
If you have PHP serverside scripting language, use DW to add serverside includes using PHP.
Getting back to your original problem, try without the Library Item and see if DW still changes the code.
I hope this helps.

Dreamweaver as code generator for use in other applications?

Hello and thank you in advance for your time and your help!
I realize and apologize for this lengthy post but I had to explain my issue thoroughly...
I've just begun teaching myself to use Dreamweaver CS3 (on an iMac running OS X 10.5.8 - Leopard) with the "Dreamweaver CS3 Missing Manual". I don't know HTML or CSS but am very willing to learn as much as I can. In the near future, I hope to create a new website for my domain in Dreamweaver. However, I have an urgent and immediate need and would like to know whether Dreamweaver can serve a specific purpose...
My question is whether I will still be able to accomplish the following (even if it is by different means) once I convert to Dreamweaver from FrontPage AND whether or not I should abolish all of the current files at my web server and remove FrontPage extensions before I invest any time into making Dreamweaver my new tool for website development and maintenance.
I have a domain hosted by GoDaddy and a rather old website that I created using FrontPage 2002 (on a Windows XP desktop). For over 5 years now, I've used FrontPage so that I can work WYSIWYG to generate HTML code that I use in my eBay auction listings. Recently, however, the "network folder" for my web server (on the Windows XP desktop) stopped accepting my password and I cannot find a fix for it. It's my opportunity to finally break from FrontPage but I'm hoping that, before I do, someone can tell me whether or not Dreamweaver can serve my interim and long-term purposes.
I've been uploading image files using the "network folder" in Windows XP that I set up with FrontPage over 5 years ago. I "drag and drop" or "cut and paste" image files from my computer to my web server in Windows Explorer via the "network folder". Once the images are on the web server, I open FrontPage and ensure that the images show up in my web server files. I then open an existing .html document that I have saved on my hard drive, replace text and images within the file, save the file under a different file name, and then switch to code view where I copy the code directly from FrontPage into my eBay listing. This works perfectly well and has for over 5 years. I do not publish these .html files to the web, nor do I upload the .html files to my web server. They exist only on my hard drive and simply to provide the underlying HTML code for the eBay listings and nothing more. This method allows the images in my eBay auctions to be automatically sourced to their location on my web server without requiring me to do anything more than insert the image(s) from my web server into the .html document/file.
I think I'm discovering that Dreamweaver works specifically with websites and I'm wondering whether I can use it more generically in this way. If I'm learning correctly, Dreamweaver is quite particular about web server files having an exact match to a root folder on my hard drive. I've defined my site within Dreamweaver and I've since downloaded all existing files from my web server to my hard drive within a folder that is designated as the root folder. However, when I now open an existing .html document (one originally created in FrontPage and stored on my hard drive only) and replace an image (by cutting the existing image and dragging the other from the "remote view" of the "files" pane) with one that exists both on my web server and in my root folder, Dreamweaver makes the source/reference path point to the image file on my hard drive and, as you know, that won't do if I transfer that code to my eBay listing. So I've uploaded the actual .html file to the web server within Dreamweaver (something that I never had to do with FrontPage) and now I can change the HTML code manually (or the source in the "properties" panel for the image) for the image source to include "http://mydomain/..." (it doesn't include that automatically as FrontPage did). That now seems to make the code work but I have to store my .html files on the server and I have to make that manual change.
My question is whether I will still be able to do accomplish the following (even if it is by different means) once I convert to Dreamweaver from FrontPage AND whether or not I should abolish all of the current files at my web server and remove FrontPage extensions before I invest any time into making Dreamweaver my new tool for website development and maintenance.
Thank you very sincerely for taking the time to read this and for your response and good advice!

Get Turbo Lister (a free page editing and listing tool from eBay).
http://pages.ebay.com/turbo_lister/
eBay uses some seriously flawed markup on their auction pages. In fact, they don't even ALLOW you to use good code. You're better off using their proprietary tools for this. IMO, DW is not the right tool for creating eBay pages.
When you're ready to build a serious web site, come back to Dreamweaver.

DreamWeaver HTML code is good for WordPress?

Hello everyone! It's the first time I write in this Forum, but I've got a problem and I hope someone of you could help me...
I've found some problems when I pasted my Dreamweaver generated HTML code in a WordPress page.
I usually write in my WP Blog with no problem, but today I wanted to create some special <div>, so first of all I generated the page in DreamWeaver. Then I copied and pasted the code into the WP CMS (HTML view, of course). But the text was not formatted like in DW... I tried to modify the code in the WP CMS, but I couldn't do what expected.
Anyone can help me?

Thank you for your answers, martcol and bemdesign.
I'll try to better explain my problems. First of all, sorry for my bad english: I hope you will understand anyway. Unfortunately I cancelled my previous HTML code. Here's what is on-line at the moment:
<div class="postText">
<p><strong>Oggetto dell’analisi dimostrativa</strong><br />
Tutto il materiale prodotto nel web in Francia e in lingua francese, nel periodo 10 settembre-10 ottobre 2010. In particolare, sono stati analizzati blog e forum, siti di news on-line, contenitori di foto e video, social network come Facebook, Twitter e FriendFeed, Google e i principali motori di ricerca.<strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Obiettivi</strong><br />
- Misurare il volume di discussioni nel web sul Salone dell’Automobile di Parigi 2010<br />
- Individuare le case automobilistiche maggiormente citate<br />
- Individuare i più citati, tra i nuovi modelli e concept presentati al Salone</p>
<p><strong>Strumento utilizzato</strong><br />
<a href="http://www.intesys.it/Buzz-Analysis/">WebMetrika</a>, il il servizio di <strong>Blog & Buzz Analysis</strong> di Intesys, che offre alle aziende informazioni per valutare la propria Web Brand Reputation, l’efficacia delle iniziative di marketing attuate, l’opinione dei consumatori su prodotti e servizi.</p>
<hr width="100%" color="#666666"></p>
<p>Si sta svolgendo in questi giorni a Parigi il <strong>Mondial de l’Automobile </strong>2010: il più importante salone dell’automobile francese, che si svolge al Paris Expo Porte Versailles. Appuntamento blasonato a cadenza biennale, vanta più di un secolo di storia: la prima edizione risale al 1898.</p>
et cetera et cetera
I wanted to insert the first part of the page in a <div>: from "Oggetto dell’analisi dimostrativa..." to "...opinione dei consumatori su prodotti e servizi". In my head this <div> had to seem like a grey box with a red border: easy to make with DW! I did so, but when I copied it into WP, the text didn't appear as I've formatted it... What have changed? The <br> and the font dimension too...
I couldnt think that creating a simple box would be so tough!

How do I invert the horizontal trackpad scrolling in Dreamweaver CC code window (Mac)?

Having recently installed CC I'm enjoying all the apps so far...although Dreamweaver (which I use quite a lot) is showing unusual scrolling behaviour.
In my previous version of Creative Suite, for all apps I have a two-handed approach where I use the trackpad to navigate around the document with two fingers, while using a mouse to select the code/element etc.
I have already turned off the default 'natural' vertical scroll because it feels more intuitive to me (i.e. if I want to scroll down the page, I pull down with two fingers).
However, with this new version of Dreamweaver, it breaks convention by having reversed the left-right scroll direction, which has thrown me because it is the only app so far that goes against the norm. Previously if I wanted to see code off the right hand side of the window, I would swipe right, but now I have to swipe left. I had a look at the settings and couldn't see a way of changing this.
Can anyone help?
Thanks

Yes, this issue has been fixed in DW CC 2014.1 release. Please try the same.

Dreamweaver CS4 Code Letter Spacing Issue

Hello,
I am currently running Adobe Dreamweaver CS4 on my Macbook Pro. We use it on a daily basis to keep our corporate website up-to-date. During the past few weeks, we have developed a very odd issue in the DW code editing pane. The letter spacing is completely off, which is odd considering that the font is monospaced. A large space will appear between characters even though no space is actually there. I have included a screenshot below of some new code I recently entered. Notice the space between the form names and the apostrophes. It appears as though there is one space between the name and the apostrophe, however there is none. The code still works fine, but this becomes very frustrating when attempting to enter new code.
I should also mention that none of my code developed prior to approximately two weeks ago has been effected. Only when I attempt to enter new code is the spacing effected.
Is this a known issue? Any ideas of what could be going on?
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Jon

Oh, you're welcome!
I know, so many of these things you don't find with a cursory review of menu-items and preferences. Then when you need them, you might not have noticed them first time through.
That's one reason I like the Forums: you learn things you didn't know you needed to know...
I've noticed that system fonts change from system to system, and sometimes you "lose" a font when you go to a new computer.
Best,
Beth

Dreamweaver CS4 Code Coloring not updating

Hi,
Recently, when trying to edit the code coloring in Dreamweaver CS4, it will not update the colors after I hit "ok." Anyone know why this might be? I've tried restarting Dreamweaver, clearing the cache, and even seeing if it would work on new documents but none of that helps. Thanks for any help!

Are you sure you're changing colors for you open document ?
I have issue with coloring too, but I thought after all this time CS5 will finally have Save option for exactly this issue. So I don't have to repeat this over and over again.

Dreamweaver CS3 Code Formatting broken

Hello, I am experiencing a huge deal of frustration with the
way Dreamweaver improperly formats code. In particular, the UL / LI
tags do not format correctly. Here is what I am trying to achieve:
<ul>
<li>
TEXT
</li>
</ul>
Now this pattern seems to correspond exactly to the preview
that you see when you go to Preferences > Code Format > Tag
Libraries, select the LI tag and choose Line Breaks: Before,
Inside, After and Contents: Formatted and Indented.
I have done this. I have also manually checked the .vtm file
in username > Application Data > Adobe > Dreamweaver >
Configuration etc.... and it corresponds to what I have set in the
Prefs.
However, when I use Design View to create the unordered list,
OR even if I just TOUCH a properly formatted list in Design View,
everything gets squeezed onto one line. I get this sort of thing:
<ul> <li>TEST</li> <li>MORE
TEST</li> </ul>
Here is what I have tried unsuccessfully to date:
1. Prefs > Code Formatting > Edit Tag Libraries...
2. Prefs > Code Format > UNCHECK Do not include a break
inside TD tag (I know, that's for TD, but I'm just trying
everything(
3. Prefs -> line breaks (tried Unix, Windows)
4. Commands > Apply Source Formatting (messes up my entire
code by putting everything inside the BODY tag on one line - in
other words, my entire page goes on one line now!)
5. Automatic Wrapping After Column 76 - this one is really
stupid, it just does a HARD break on each line so when you turn it
back off you have to go in and manually delete all these hard
breaks now...
There's a bunch of other small things I have tried, but
needless to say, nothing appears to be working.
Has no one else experienced this? Can you get Design View to
properly format UL / LI tags? If so, then something on my computer
is messed. But when I look at code generated by DW on some of my
co-workers' computers, they also have the same problem - I just
guess their tolerance for crappy code is higher than mine.
I'm using DW 9.0 (CS3) build 3481.
Please help! I have no hair left on my head to tear out and I
may have to go further afield.... ouch!
Thanks,
Tom

I just checked on DW CS4 and it's working as expected. If I
change my LI
entry in the Tag Libraries to Line Breaks: Before, Inside,
After and
Contents like you, I get your desired effect. Moreover, it
doesn't revert -
or worse if any changes are made, whether in Design or Code
view. I know
this doesn't help you verify or correct your CS3 issue, but
at least you
know there is an upgradeable light at the end of the tunnel.

Dreamweaver Help: Code Coloring specific tags

Hello everyone,
I would like to set some custom Code Colors on HTML tags in DW to help me in recognizing those tags when I open a page in DW's Code View. I was able to find this BLOG post saying that it this is possible in DW by updating some DW preference files; source: http://blogs.adobe.com/dreamweaver/2009/02/code_coloring_specific_tags.html.. I am a non-technical person so I find it difficult to do the setup. The reason I want this is for me to easily find the text in Code View just by noticing the code color.
E.g. I want this <span class="specialText"> to have a red code color in DW's Code View
I hope there's someone who can guide me on how to accomplish this.
Thanks

Go to Edit > Preferences > Code Coloring > HTML > Edit Coloring Scheme.
In DW, <span> tags have the same color scheme as <p> and <h > tags. I'm not sure if you can change that.
As a workaround for quickly finding all span tags of a certain class, use Find (Ctrl+F), Specific Tag, Find All button. See screenshot:

Dreamweaver cs3 code accuracy

Hi, have dreamweaver cs3 and i am a beginner. just started to use it again and want to have dynammic web pages. trying asp for dynamic pages using data from an access database. running into many parser and compiler errors when testing on localhost. Is there a problem with the accuracy of cs3 code written? has the syntax changed in the past few years? or must i spend significant time learning the basics of writing code to determine the accuracy of cs3?
an example: with asp.net vb there is an error in line one...
ctive Server Pages error 'ASP 0221'
Invalid @ Command directive
/PPG_asp/databasetest.asp, line 1
The specified 'Page Language="VB" ContentType="text/html" ResponseEncoding="utf-8" ' option is unknown or invalid.
have tried other formats with variable results; some get farther down the code;
would appreciate some help so i don't go nuts......thank you

are you implying that the newer versions of IIS might be more up to date than the cs3 dreamweaver and that is where my problems will arise?
I am not implying anything. I am simply wondering if the IIS is configured properly. Have you tried creating a basic static page and load it in your browser to see if it loads OK?
Obviously, without looking at your code it is almost impossible to say anything meaningful. However, I suggest post your query at this link:

Why is dreamweaver changing %3D%3d and %2B to =

I'm working on a website that needs a bunch of links
to an online ticket agency...when I paste the code
https://www.smalltheatretix.com/prod/Web_Order.php?CMD=05q%2BEDRsLhJhsN%2BI%2BhzMHw%3D%3D
dreamweaver automatically changes the three character %2B and
%3D to = (equal signs)...anybody know what I can do to fix this?
thanks...

See the DW forum post.
