Dreamweaver Cs3 CSS Problems

Good day, I am having problems using my new version of CS3.
When I am working in split view, or design view for that matter,
any css that I add to the page does not show up when designing the
page. Whether it is inline or attached, I don't see the changes to
the page while working on it. Is there something I need to adjust
in my properties to make this work? I have not had this problem in
Dreamweaver MX 2004. Any and all help would be so helpful. Thank
you in advance.
Rob

Hi SnakeEyez, thank you for a prompt reply. I do not have the
page uploaded as I just started working with it. I don't understand
how it would be a code problem if Dreamweaver is adding the code
for me. For example, when I add
<style type="text/css">

</style>
the page is still white when designing. Any ideas why this
is? Thanks.

Photoshop CS3 to Dreamweaver CS3 CSS question

Hi all,
I am sorry if this is allready dicussed a couple of times.I did a search and just could not find it. When I export a site from Photoshop CS3 to DIV (generate CSS by ID) it is aligned to the left and all DIV's have a specific position on the page. How can I get my site to center in Dreamweaver CS3 without having to adjust al separate DIV's?
For Example: When I export from Photoshop all slices are exported as folowed.
#Table_01 {
position:absolute;
left:auto;
top:0px;
width:832px;
height:562px;
right: auto;
#test-13 {
position:absolute;
left:275px;
top:26px;
width:9px;
height:189px;
#test-14 {
position:absolute;
left:284px;
top:26px;
width:128px;
height:98px;
I know how to make a DIV center (with Margin auto left and right) but I do not know how to center all DIV's at once.
I hope you are willing to help me with this. In case you have more questions let me know.

The answer is to not let Photoshop write either your HTML or your CSS for you. What you show is a disaster waiting to happen, really, and is characteristic of the kind of mess produced by any wizard that writes HTML based on a graphic layout. Use your graphics editors to produce your graphics. Build your page in DW. It's a much better way to go.

Leaving your page with all absolutely positioned elements is really asking for trouble, but here's how to make them all center at once -
Change this -
</head>
to this -
<style type="text/css">
#wrapper { width:760px; margin:0 auto;position:relative; }
/* 760px will display on an 800px screen maximized browser window without */
/* horizontal scrollbars. Change as needed */
</style>
</head>
change this -
<body ...>
(the ellipsis represents any other attributes that might be mentioned in the body tag, and SHOULD NOT BE INCLUDED EXPLICITLY!)
to this -
<body ...>
<div id="wrapper">
and this -
</body>
to this -

</div>
</body>
and see if that helps.

Dreamweaver CS3 Installation Problems

Hello,
I have just got Dreamweaver CS3 and Photoshop CS3 and have
had some real issues with installing them! Here is my situation
explained.
I first installed Dreamweaver CS3 after un-installing a
previous version of Dreamweaver (the one from Macromedia) and it
installed as normal. I then tried to install Photoshop but it only
got as far as 8.46% and would go no further! I did a system restore
and tried installing Photoshop before Dreamweaver and it installed!
I then tried to install Dreamweaver but once the "Adobe Setup" got
to 100% it disappeared and the Installation screen did not appear,
in fact nothing happened! I went in an endless loop of installing
one before the other and have landed and having Photoshop on the
computer and not been able to install Dreamweaver! As I mentioned,
if I don't have Photoshop installed, Dreamweaver will install and
vice-versa.
I'm thinking it is a conflict problem, but I dunno where to
begin looking. I've cleared the computer of useless files and
registry entries (I use a program called CCleaner) and I also went
into
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe and did a search for
'dreamweaver' and deleted everything that came up, just so it'd be
like Dreamweaver was never installed.
I used the CS3 Cleaner because I previously had the PS BETA
but it never worked right and it kept failing when deleting stuff,
so I dunno why that was.
If anyone knows any reason why this is doing it and have any
ways of helping me out, I would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
P.S. I am on Windows Vista Home Premium

You may experiencing the same problem that I had. If you had
a previous Beta installation installed, it may be preventing the
new installation.

Symptom is that the Photoshop installation gets as far as a

re-installed the Windows Installer and the Photoshop install still

Any help appreciated...

Dreamweaver CS3 FTP problem

Hi,
I am unable to connect to my remote server using my new copy
of Adobe Dreamweaver CS3
When I test the FTP connection I get an error message
I can connect without problems to my remote server using
Microsoft Frontpage and the exact same FTP address, login, and
password - so it is not the server which is at fault
Things I have tried without success
My hosting company told me to either leave the host directory
box blank or put a / in it. Neither of these options work
I have tried retyping my login details carefully.
I have tried checking the ‘use passive FTP’ box
I have tried putting a colon and the port number after the
FTP address
I have tried writing the FTP address with and without the
ftp:// symbol
I have tried setting the FTP time out preferences at 60secs,
30 secs, 120 secs, 10 secs, and 5 secs
I am wondering what else to try, and how I can check whether
or not the software is being blocked by a firewall (in Norton for
example - my windows firewall is switched off) as I do remember
getting a message about this during the install. Or would it be a
good idea to uninstall and reinstall the software?
I would be most grateful for any further information or
advice.
Many thanks
Pippa

> When I test the FTP connection I get an error message
What is the error message?
Here's my experience.
1. A firewall (any firewall, including but not restricted to
SP2) may be
blocking your attempts. It's best to completely disable them
while you are
troubleshooting this.
2. The FTP host field should usually always be filled in like
this -
''www.domain.com'' (without the quotes) and with NO leading
protocol (e.g.,
http:// or ftp://) (of course, you can always
use the IP address, too).
3. Enabling Passive FTP (usually the default for 3rd party
FTP programs) in
your Remote site definition can often be the gating factor in
a balky FTP
connection.
Make sure you use those guidelines and usually your
connection problem will
be solved.
By the way, if you find that #1 allows the connection to
proceed, then you
have to figure out what it is about your firewall that is
blocking
transmissions. CS3 allows you to fine tune firewall support
via the
Remote site definition, but you may also need to do a very
simple thing of
permitting CS3 to make outgoing connections in the Firewall
configuration.

Dreamweaver CS3 Uploading Problem

Cannot upload my first Web Page to the Web Site (Host). I
have tested and have received the following message:
"Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 connected to your Web Server
successfully."
When I PUT Index.html from Local to Remote, I receive the
following error message: "Index.html - error occurred - An FTP
error occurred - cannot put Index.html. Access denied.
I have invested too much dough for a WW2 non-profit
organization for this not to work.
Thanks in advance.

I tried enabling passive FTP but it doesn't help.

Dreamweaver CS3/Flash problem

Hi everyone, I recently upgraded to Dreaweaver CS3 from 2004
MX. However, I'm having a problem trying to display a Flash banner
on my website.
My site is www.flaccidsacks.co.uk, you'll notice on the index
page the Flash banner at the top.
However, I updated a couple of pages, and you'll see if you
click on "Record Labels" that the Flash banner doesn't appear. The
source doesn't even appear to have the name of the Flash file.
However, in the Dreamweaver design panel the Flash file is in
the correct position, and it appears fine when I preview it. It
seems though that Dreamweaver is doing something when I publish the
page that's preventing the Flash banner from appearing.
I would be very grateful for anyone who can spare a minute to
help me.
Thanks
Lyle

> Additionally, when I opened the pages to update,
Dreamweaver asked if I
> wanted
> to covert <object> tags to browser safe scripts,
which I said 'yes' to,
> although I didn't really understand what the problem
was.
When you clicked "yes" a folder named Scripts was generated
in your files.
Upload that folder to the server.

Adriana.

Dreamweaver CS3 Sync Problem

This topic may have been mentioned before, but cannot find
anythinf for it. I have used several versions of Dreamweaver and
had no problem updating to web sites. Since I've updated to the CS3
version, whatever web site I am working on, or varying hosting
companies, it always misses pages or files that I've been working
on. It will go through the whole site, telling me which ones are
needed to be uploaded, but will always miss some or all that I have
just edited.
I've noticed that I can edit a file say 12/02/2008 11.03am.
Upload it manually and find that on (any) of my hosting sites that
it's modifed date/time will be 12/02/2008 7.03pm. 8 hours ahead.
Has anyone else had any similar experiences?
Many thanks,
Alan.

Dreamweave cs3 install problem

Currently running DW8 on Windows Vista, I thought I would
have a look at CS3. I downloaded the trial version of DW CS3 and
ran it. After extracting the files, the setup starts ('Initializing
Adobe setup') but then immediately disappears with no messages.
I've tried running as Administrator but the same happens.
A search for a fix has turned up nothing so far. Any ideas
from anyone would be welcomed.
Colin.

type the exact error you get into google and see what pops
up. Have you preciously had another version of dreamweaver on your
computer and it was uninstalled by chance? Maybe email adobes
support and let them know. But I am sure someone else has gotten
this error before so if you search google Im sure you will find
your answer. I just downloaded the trial also and didnt get that
message. Google is the best for answers..

Dreamweaver CS3 CSS Capacity

Do any professionals out there have this tool yet, are the
new CSS capabilities worth it? None of the other enhancements seem
worth it.

I've had every DW since DW2.
> What's the biggest difference in the CSS support?
1. Rendering of floated layouts
2. Rendering of advanced CSS uses, e.g., min-width, child and
adjacent
sibling selectors, as well as pseudo-elements
3. Management of CSS rules (moving/editing rules/selectors
from the CSS
Panel)
4. Better integration of the CSS tools (for example, when I
insert a div,
and name the selector, the div is created with that ID, as is
the rule)
5. Moving styles from inline to stylesheet, and moving
stylesheets from
embedded to external
6. Reformatting CSS rules (like code formatting)
7. Many, many, minor usage improvements
I use them all, too - it would be very hard for me to
retrograde these
capabilities.
AND - we are finally free of the POP-UP MENU nightmare....

Fireworks CS3 and Dreamweaver CS3 (Menu problems)

I am trying to develop buttons in fireworks, import them into Dreamweaver, but for some reason it it cause my menu at the top of the page to expand outward. Take a look here. http://www.gcfa.org/episcopal-revision.html Any help would be great. Thanks in advance.

I figured it out. It was really stupid and to tell you the truth I am not sure what happened. But I fixed it by taken out all of the menu and redoing it.Weird huh! Thanks anyway.

Mac OS X and Dreamweaver CS3 Synchronization Problem

Demaweaver does not try to synchronize files located in
expanded subdirectories:
- try to change and then list (click rectangle to expand)
files from one of subdirectories
collapse directory where this subdirectory is located
- try to synchronize collapsed directory
- does not work! (dreamweaver doe not try to put changed
files - check ftp log)
My solution: collapse site with 'alt' key before synchronize
(selecting newer local ...).

Okay, now I got tuned sound to the other ear too... but I had to put the balance almost all to the left... and at the same time the max volume is reduced quite a lot even though I put the input volume to Max on system preferences.

Dreamweaver CS3 layout problem

So somehow I managed to drag the Tag Inspector panel over to
it's own
seperate panel. It can be seen here:

Can anyone tell me how the heck to get it back in with the
panels to its
left so I only have one set of panels?
Thanks!
David

Never mind! Just found the right corner to grab to I could
move it back in!
