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?

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

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

Dreamweaver CS3 Image Viewer ImageLinkTarget Problem

I'm using the Dreamweaver CS3 Image Viewer component to make
a quick Flash slideshow.
I've set the ImageLinkTarget parameter to "_blank". However,
in the slideshow, mouse rollovers show
a hand cursor, but clicking opens the larger image in the
same browser window. Everything I have read says that
this setting should cause the link to open in a new window or
tab.
I have posted the code. If anyone has ever experienced this,
please let me know how to fix/work around it.
Thank you.

I'm just a user, like you. And I'd rather you not send things
directly to
me unless I request you to do this. If you have a problem
that cannot be
solved here, then your next option would be to contact Adobe
Tech Support
directly. I'm not very familiar with the Flash side of DW, so
I cannot be
of much help in this regard.

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 Design View Problem

I am trying to edit a Dreamweaver site using Dreamweaver CS3 on a Windows XP workstation at work. The site structure was developed by an outside vendor and has been designed using CSS for positioning -- no tables. It is my responsibility to finish the site using template pages provided. When viewing the site in several browsers -- both Mac and PC, everything is fine. When I open the site in Dreamweaver CS3 Windows, all of the positioning is off -- the menus that should be flush left of the text colum, instead, appear at the top of the text column. This issue is repeated throughout the site. Since I am using existing pages as templates for new ones, I'm forced to make edits in code view, upload and then view in my browser. My outside vendor, so far, does not have an answer to this.
This weekend at home, I've installed an old Dreamweaver 8 trial version on my Macintosh. I downloaded the site and everything looks fine in Design View. Any ideas? Is this a settings issue on my Windows version of Dreamweaver? I do have the Style Rendering setting set to Screen Media type.

Hi,
I found this thread after searching and searching for an answer as to why my Design View in DW CS3 started disappearing (even in split view). It will show a partial view, but never the entire view all at once, even after restarting my PC. I have been using CS3 for a few years now and it just started having this issue. When this issue started, nothing had changed on my computer. There has to be a fix for this. Why did it work fine all these years and now, no design view????

Dreamweaver CS3 Image Viewer Flash Element

Here at Cleveland State University, I offer basic training
classes for most Adobe products. We are in the middle of a complete
overhaul of the
http://www.csuohio.edu space. Our
goal to is to create an attractive, website with a consistent look
and feel that makes it easier for our faculty and staff to update
on a more frequent basis. In doing so, we have created a series of
pages that can be easily edited in Dreamweaver CS3. One item we
would like to fully support is the DW CS3 Image Viewer - Flash
Element. However, we have hit a small layout snag.
On the main pages of most college and departmental sites, a
specific space with a finite size is set on a web page for the
image viewer. A site editor then creates images in Photoshop that
are that exact size. The image viewer element is configured to be
that exact size as well. Furthermore, the picture "frame", title,
caption and controls are hidden in the Flesh Element panel.
However, when the page is previewed either in Dreamweaver or in a
browser, the images have been shrunk. There is always a border,
whether it is white or some other color. I assume the color is the
stage color of the Flash .swf file. This causes a misalignment of
the images and the other text.
Another issue is the links that automatically created. Some
of our editors have asked me why, even though they specifically
leave the imageLinks area blank, links seem to be created pointing
to the Adobe.com website.
My questions: is there no way to force the Flash element to
respect the size of the pictures so that no border is showing? Is
there no way to leave the Im
I've done a search on the Adobe.com support site and on the
web and noted that several people have posted questions concerning
this. Unfortunately, no one seems to know what to do about it.
I can send links if you would like to see an example. I'd
greatly appreciate any help you can give me.

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
– 1.5 GB ram – Intel extreme graphics card 64 MB ram
– Apache 2.2 server – PHP 5 – MySQL 5 -
phpMyAdmin – Dreamweaver 8.02 – Interakt Kollection
3.7.1 – Dreamwweaver 9 - DeVtoolbox – Flash –

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 cannot view website

I have built a website in Dreamweaver CS3 on mac and can view
the site online on my mac. The problem is I can't view the site on
a pc... what do i need to do?

If if doesnot even load up - then something is stopping it -
the only thing I can think of, though I am not a great expert - is
the filenames.
A browser in windows will try to render well or badly coded
pages - even a text file containing hellow world with no html tags
at all will print hello world...

Dreamweaver CS3 Site Profiles

I've read almost every post in this forum about how
Dreamweaver CS3 stores information about the sites that are set up
through the site manager. I assume the site data is stored
somewhere for each site. According to a few posts, Windows stores
this data in the registry. Older versions of Dreamweaver on OS X
also stored the information in the Application Support folder in
the User's Library folder. Does anyone know where CS3 stores its
site data now on OS X? Where does Dreamweaver get that data to
create the .ste backup file when using the export function in the
site manager?
Thanks!

Yes, it's still in the Library folder, but it's "Adobe"
instead of
"Macromedia" now.

Randy

Dreamweaver CS3 Site Manager Problem

I am using Dreamweaver CS3 and when I define my sites in the
Site Manager, for some reason now when I definte the Host
Directory, which looks like this:
"//caflsd/share/DEPTS/BIOSCI/BSWeb/ " (note the two "/" at the
beginning) once I hit the done button and try to connect, I get an
FTP error, and when I go back in to the Site Manager, I will see
that one of the slashes in front of the Host Directory Address is
removed, so it looks like this "/caflsd/share/DEPTS/BIOSCI/BSWeb/"
which misses the first slash. When I put it in manually while in
the Site Manager and test the connection while in the Site Manager,
it works fine...however, when I hit OK and Done, it always cuts out
the extra "/" and then the site will not connect outside of the
Site Manager. How can I get it to stop this?

i posted a reply. sorry new to this forum. the only message I receive is that there is no repsonse from the server. Initially I can connect fine and downloand all remote files. It is only when I go to upload that I get disconnected. I can upload fine with an older version of DW. I do not know if I can upload to other sites.
I called my server and was told everything on their end was fine and they tested it and was able to upload. So I am thinking it must be DW CS3

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 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.

Bc and dreamweaver cs6 site import issues

- issues importing BC sites in Dreamweaver cs6
- manage sites dialog,
- flash loader spinning, "Retrieving site definition..." endlessly.

Thanks Brad. It is happening only for the sites that aren't set up in the manager. the few that are (after a fresh os 10.6.8 install and a fresh cs6 install) are fine. The ones that aren't working are all the rest. So, about 4 that connect and show business catalyst as the "type" in the manager, 1 (my main rebraded partner site) that shows as type "dreamweaver" and then maybe 15 I can't import. The reason for the dreamweaver type is that I used the ftp creds to set it up so that I could use it rather thna letting dreamweaver sniff out the creds and serve up my login cred screen to tie it together. I only did that since I was desperate to edit. It's a workaround.
I spent a long time on chat yesterday with Adobe Support. Deleted prefs, deactivated dreamweaver, restarted, same issues. They filed a support ticket. I'll try to keep this updated if anyone else would like to know. As always, thanks for the help. - T
