Dreamweaver CS3 Remote Image Issue

Having an issue seeing some remote images and not sure what settings will fix it.  I need to include absoulte references in some situations and I cannot see some of the images in design view.
If I have an htm file in the root of the site and do an absoulte reference to an image in a subfolder (the absolute reference includes the full URL ( eg. http://www.mysite.com/images/image1.jpg) I can see the image in design view just fine.  However if I have the htm file in a subfolder and do an absolute reference to an image in another subfolder outside of the subfolder that contains my layout, the image does not display in deign view.
Example:
file1.htm is in subfolder /layouts
image1.jpg is in subfolder /images
I do an absolute refence in the code http://www.mysite.com/images/image1.jpg = Cannot see the image1.jpg in design view
If I move the image into any subfolder with the same subfolder as the htm file, the issues is fixed.
Example
file1.htm is in subfolder /layouts
image1.jpg is in subfolder  /layouts/images
I do an absolute refence in the code http://www.mysite.com/layouts/images/image1.jpg = I can see image1.jpg in design view
I tried the different site settings for relative refference from Document to Site root and neither seemed to fix the issue
I recently moved over to CS3 from 2004MX and have a lot of files that are affected.  I am hoping to not have to do a lot of restructuring to fix this

DW CS3 does not try to map remote images to your local folder, so make sure that your they exist in your remote site.
Also note that DW CS5 loads remote images in a background thread, so your pages will load much faster.

  • Dreamweaver CS3 Remote View file display

    Specs:
    Dreamweaver CS3 on Windows XP Pro SP2.
    Upgraded from DreamWeaver MX
    1680 x 1050 60Hz resolution on vertical display LCD panel
    with the monitor turned/displayed verticle so I can view more of
    our site tree.
    Problem:
    When viewing files in split panel display (Remote Site on the
    left, Local Files on the right) my Remote Site display will
    collapse upward...hiding files from view, but they are actually
    still there: I can click Refresh and the tree expands again: After
    several seconds or sometimes immediately portions of the
    folders/files will collapse/hide again.
    It will do this to files I have selected. It will hide files
    I have checked out. The worst of it is that sometimes files will
    hide or collapse within sub-folders..giving the appearance that
    files are stored in incorrect folders.
    Thank you for your time

    Can you explain the symptoms in more detail? Mixing the use
    of DW8 with
    DWCS3 would not make remote files appear and disappear.

  • Dreamweaver CS3 slow performance issue confusions & work arounds

    Never mind...I found it.
    Of course I have all the firewall, worm, scanning, phishing
    filtering, full time protect, and everything else turned off when I
    am working on a remote/testing site however I found the Symantec
    antivirus email scan being enabled (doesn't it just interact with
    my email program?) was getting in the way of DW9 ftp operations,
    causing some lagging that was putting DW9 into an unstable mode
    during and immediately after (10 seconds) ftp operations.
    The CPU still spikes to 99% during ftp functions but DW9
    works even though it's likely taxed to the max but when I turn off
    email scan DW9 returned to a functioning state during ftp and
    remote file view. Whatever it takes huh?
    PS: email scanning only never effected DW8.02
    My System Info: properly configured (as in: everything works
    or I fix it) Toshiba - XP pro SP2 – Pentium 4 - 2.3GHz

    What does doesn't work mean?
    Once the user has logged in, can you output the MM_Username
    session variable to the page (in particular the page that the log
    in user behavior has set for a successful log in)? You can do that
    by simply selecting it in the Bindings panel and dragging into the
    design view then previewing the page (after you've logged in of
    course).
    Also to get better responses (and more folks looking at it),
    you should probably post this in the Dreamweaver Application dev
    group:

  • Dreamweaver CS3 Split View Issue

    Hello All,
    I just got the new dreamweaver CS3 and when working in split
    view nothing is refreshing correctly. What I mean is, if I click on
    some text in the design portion of dreamweaver to try and change
    the font, css assignment, or whatever I cannot. I have to click on
    the text, hit refresh (f5) and then the correct information in the
    properties panel shows up. I have the same problem when selecting
    something in the code portion of the split; it does not select the
    portion in the design section. What is the deal? Dreamweaver 8 did
    this fine.
    Anyone else have this problem?
    Alex

    What OS? Does the problem happen with all files and all
    sites, just some,
    or just one?

  • Dreamweaver CS3 Flash Video Issue

    I have Dreamweaver CS3 running in OS X 10.4.11 all updated.
    all of a sudden when I go to insert a Flash Video into a page I get the wheel of death and DW is frozen. I formatted the video in Flashconverter and it plays fine in mpeg streamclip.
    The Insert dialog opens and I can chose the flash video and then hit detect size and the controls I want. and then I hit ok and the wheel comes up and never goes away.
    If I create a new sit it will let me add the video.
    Any ideas why this is happening?

  • Dreamweaver CS3 (Mac) performance issues

    I am running DW CS3 on a MacbookPro 2.16/ 2Gb Mac OS X
    10.4.10.
    It is slow to respond to mouse actions (constantly hitting
    the wrong button as a result), constantly hangs (but comes back to
    life eventually), is sometimes slow to type, renders faint dotted
    lines across pages (built in MX2004 with CSS) and is generally
    CRAP!
    It runs slower than MX2004 on the same machine. I have both
    versions installed on the machine (but don't run them at the same
    time!). I have similar issues with Conribute CS3 not responding as
    well.
    Please offer some assistance before I throw my computer
    across the room! Why is it so fsat on a PC, is something to do with
    the way the Mac does Java? Help - i don't want to get rid of my Mac
    for a PC!

    Hi. I am experiencing the very same problem. No issues for
    years up until recently - but my problems started not long after I
    installed the latest upgrade for Mac OS 10.5.4 to 10.5.5 - I am
    going to use Time Machine to revert back to 10.5.4 it may not be
    the answer, nor a long-term solution but it driving me nuts.
    I am currently deleting sites out of my site manager and then
    reloading them from the STE file everytime I need to work on them.
    I have read that this problem existed in Dreamweaver 8 on Windows,
    but an update sorted it out - lets hope an update appears soon to
    fix this problem.

  • Dreamweaver CS3 Remote files not visible

    Hello,
    I have a problem with DW CS3. When I click on remote view, I
    cannot see my files. I can connect via Filezilla, and I can log
    onto the remote server control panel and all of the files are
    there. The site is working fine. When I try "preview in browser"
    command, I get a page cannot be found error. Afterward, there is a
    folder visible in remote panel with the temp file in it. Here is
    what I have tried so far:
    Deleted the site in site management panel and set up again as
    new site.
    Toggled passive FTP, same problem either way.
    Everything was working fine until this week when I started
    having problems getting DW to connect via ftp. The connection
    became intermittent, then seemed to die. Now when I use the site
    management panel to test the connections, they work fine, but I
    can't see the files.
    I have not recently installed or changed any software on my
    PC.
    I am using Win XP
    Any ideas?

    Please tell us the following:
    1. Do you have a Testing server defined? If so, what are the
    field
    contents on that page?
    2. When you connect to the site and then expand the Files
    panel, which
    server icon at the top is selected? Is it the one with the
    lightning bolt?

  • Dreamweaver CS3- scrolling image marquee

    Hi,
    I purchased Adobe Creative Suite 3. I would like to learn how to create animated images. Is this something that Dreamweaver can do or would I need to use another program within the Suite. I am new to the Suite.
    How can I create a scrolling marquee of images. I would like these images to scroll left to right horizontally across my home page. Any suggestions?
    Thanks.

    Dreamweaver is not an image editor. It's an HTML authoring system. For
    animated images (depending on what you mean by "animated", and what kind of
    images they are), you would need to use either Flash, or an animated GIF, or
    some javascript function like JQuery, or other third-party sources provide.
    > How can I create a scrolling marquee of images. I would like these images
    > to scroll left to right horizontally across my home page. Any suggestions?
    You can certainly *do* this in DW, but DW doesn't provide an 'easy button'
    approach to it. You would have to either find, and then integrate the
    required functions in your page using DW, or find a suitable DW extension
    for it. Of course, you could always make a post over on the main
    Dreamweaver forum to get a good answer for this, but in my opinion, the best
    you can do for this kind of thing would be found here (look at their
    slideshow extensions) -

  • Dreamweaver CS3 Site View issue

    When I first connect to my main Website, the local root
    folder appears for about 5 seconds. If I don't expand the view
    immediately, it disappears and I have to hit the Refresh button to
    get it to display. If I expand the folder, the site folders appear,
    but the root folder immediately disappears. The biggest problems
    with this are 1) I don't have a site folder to select when I want
    to do a right-click Select Newer Local; and 2) I can't do a control
    collapse to close all the folders in the site. This does not happen
    with the Remote site root folder, it remains visible all the time.
    Any idea whats going on?

  • No Tables in DW CS3 Remote MySQL Connection

    Hello All,
    I was hoping forum members would be able to troubleshoot a
    Dreamweaver CS3/remote MySQL Connection issue I'm having.
    I am successful in connecting to the database but the table
    data I created in phpMyAdmin 2.6.3 does not appear in the
    Application/Databases menu in DW. Instead of the name of the table,
    I get "none".
    Since I am new to databases, any help is greatly appreciated.
    I did view older posts before submitting this one but the advice
    recommended (re-installing the entire MySQL application from
    scratch) is not an option. Server is SunOS running PHP 4.4.7 and
    MySQL 2.0.20. I'm on Windows XP. Thanks once again.

    Was this issue resolved?
    I have the same problem now. DW was working fine the one day and the next when I started it it had this connection problem.
    I am testing on my local PC. My sites is at http://localhost/
    All my connection are working because if I go to http://localhost/index.php I can see my site and if I go to http://localhost/register.php I can even register a new user. It will include the new user details in the data base and everything is working fine. So there is nothing wrong with the connection.
    In DW I do have http://localhost/ on the Local Info screen. As I said, all was working fine on the current setup the one day and the next day it did not want to work.
    Seems like a very common problem.
    I want to buy CS4 and surely hope that the problem has been fixed by now.

  • Dreamweaver CS3 After Mac Software Update

    Dreamweaver CS3 has an issue with CSS background display and
    other display issues after installing latest Mac software updates.
    Display in browser is unaffected.
    The culprit seems to be the Quicktime Version 7.6 update.
    Changes to the folder located at System \ Library \ Quicktime seem
    to cause an issue with Adobe products.
    Solution: Do not intall Quicktime 7.6 update OR after update
    replace Quicktime folder with previous version of folder from
    backups. Restart computer.

    I'm having other similar issues, where the splash window that
    launches when you first start the app just sits there for about 3-4
    minutes before dreamweaver launches. See no effect with other adobe
    apps. This started after a mac update and an adobe update of some
    other programs. FYI... I'm using CS4
