Dreamweaver CS4 & Coldfusion 8.01

With the release of Dreamweaver CS4 next month, will the
Coldfusion 8 extensions for Dreamweaver still work in Dreamweaveer
CS4 or will Adobe be providing new versions of these extensions ?
I would appreciate it if someone could answer that.
Thank you.

I am not sure exactly what extensions that you are talking
about, but
ColdFusion 8 Code Coloring and static object Code Hints have
been
integrated into DW CS4.

Windows7 + Dreamweaver CS4 + ColdFusion version ___?

*sigh* New computer with Windows 7. New CS4 Suite, including Dreamweaver. Many sites to maintain with ColdFusion.
ColdFusion 9 says it doesn't like Windows 7.
Advice? ColdFusion 8? Is that kosher w/Windows 7 and CS4?
Oh, and I plan those pages locally then load to our hosting/server remotely. Want the local CF functionality and that nifty 'live view' feature to work... Locally before I post. I am not super sophisticaed with CF (could you tell? ) but I checked and our hosting provider uses CF8.
MANY THANKS OH WISE ONES!!!
JL

Many thanks for your assistance and all apologies for the confusion.
On the Adobe web site, it states that "Windows 7 is not supported" under the ColdFusion 9 page. I took that to mean it was not compatible or at least not reviewed.
I have not installed any version of CF yet to avoid such problems I was trying to be pro-active and asking for assistance to AVOID mistakes rather than whimsically try things and then run to the forum and ask for assistance. All apologies for being pro-active.
As for CF 8, most searches on the site left limited information as the Adobe site tends to nest older versions of applications in favor of promoting new versions. I could not find any information on CF 8 and Windows 7.
So...
Does CF 8 (which, yes, I would prefer to run as it's compatible with my hosting server) also run well on Windows 7? This too is a pro-active question.
Many thanks.
Regards,
JL

Dreamweaver CS4 and Coldfusion 8 - help on configuration

Hi Guys,
I'm not a Coldfusion user and I cant find anything from the support docs. I hope you can shed some light on my issue. I really need some help on this.
Here's my set up:
Dreamweaver CS4/CS3 installed on a Win XP Pro SP2 machine
Coldfusion 8 installed on Windows 2003 server (http://[servername]:8500). IIS is also running on the server.(http://[servername])(Testing Server)
Coldfusion 8 is located in C:\Coldfusion
wwwroot = C:\ColdFusion8\wwwroot
Coldfusion is on Trial mode right now. Installed as a self-contained server (first radio button in installation)
Built in webserver was selected also during the installation
RDS Password enabled
Issue:
When I define a site in Dreamweaver CS4/CS3, I cannot connect to the Coldfusion part of the testing server.
I tried both Local/Network and FTP but I can't connect.
Here's the sample information the i put in the site definition of Dreamweaver under the Advanced Tab.
1st example:
Category: Testing Server
Access: FTP
FTP Host: [servername]:8500
Host Directory: /test
username: [username]
password: [password]
URL Prefix: http://servername:8500/test
** I tried checking and unchecking the checkboxes under password
Error: FTP Error Occured
2nd example:
Category: Testing Server
Access: Local/Network
Testing Server Folder: [servername]:8500\test
URL Prefix: http://servername:8500/test
Here's the interesting part on this setup. When I go to the Basic tab to test the connection for the testing server, I get this message, "[servername]:8500\temp.html contains an invalid path". After I hit OK, "The URL Prefix test was successful." message appears
My Questions:
what's wrong with my setup? Is my prefix correct?
what else do i need to configure?
is Coldfusion conflicting with the IIS on my server? Should I configure Coldfusion to work with IIS rather than setting it up as a built in webserver?
What questions do I need to ask? XD
I hope someone can help me on this or guide me to the right path. I can access the files when type http://servername:8500 on the browser though.
Help please? Thanks in advance!
-dis

Port 8500 is the port the built in web server is listing to to respond to client requests. To view ColdFusion code on the server you would put http://servername:8500/myCFMLfile.cfm in a browser.
To have your Dreamweaver help you write these files you just need to tell it how you want to connect to servername.
For FTP you would need FTP enabled on servername and be able to FTP to c:\ColdFusion8\wwwroot\ on servername. Then you would set up something like this in Dreamweaver
FTP HOST: servername
Host Directory: ???
(depends on what your FTP root is for the FTP server on servername and how it relates to c:\ColdFusion8\wwwroot\
username: ...
password: ...
URL Prefix: http://servername:8500/
(What you would put into the URL of a browser.)
For Local/Network you just write the file to the c:\ColdFusion8\wwwroot\ directory on servername. This assumes that this directory is shared and available to users over the network. Which it probably is by the little known drive hidden share default on most windows systems.
Access: local/network
Testing Server Folder: \\servername\c$\ColdFusion8\wwwroot\
(Or other UNC path to the desired network folder)
URL Prefix: http://servername:8500/
(Still what you put into the URL of a browser)

Dreamweaver CS4 Errors, Spry widget not working. Please Help!

I am redesigning a website and downloaded an html file from the present contact page. I opened it in Dreamweaver and I started to have this errors. The html file I opened has some JavaScripts in it and I believe, the the scripts got a conflict with Dreamweaver CS4. I already deleted these files I tried to open and still I'm encountering these errors.
These are the errors I'm getting:
1. When I open the Dreamweaver, this message pop-ups:
   "While executing onLoad in RecordsetFind.htm, the following JavaScript error(s) occured:
    In file "RecordsetFind"
    findRs is not defined."
2. I click OK. Then I'm getting this message:
   "While executing onLoad in Design Notes_onOpen.htm, the following JavaScript error(s) occured:
    In file "Design Notes_onOpen"
    onOpen is not defined."
3. I just click OK. Then, when I open an html file to edit or create a new one, this error pops up again:
   "While executing onLoad in Design Notes_onOpen.htm, the following JavaScript error(s) occured:
    In file "Design Notes_onOpen"
    onOpen is not defined."
4. I will again just click OK, then this error appears:
   "The following translators were not loaded due to errors:
    Coldfusion.htm: has configuration information that is invalid.
    SpryWidget.htm: has configuration information that is invalid."
5. Then, I will just click OK again. Then, when I'm working with the projects or creating a new project with Spry, it is not working properly anymore. I have to go the code and update the Spry list or content manually.
6. When I close Dreamweaver, I'm always having this error:
   "While executing onLoad in TeamAdminTempDelete.html, the following JavaScript error(s) occured:
    In file "TeamAdminTempDelete"
    delTempFile is not defined"
I tried uninstalling the Dreamweaver and installing it again, but it did not work.
What should I do to make the spry working again and to remove all these annoying errors? By the way, all my Spry widgets are not working and these errors I'm encountering in all of the Sites I'm working on. How can I make it work again? I tried looking for troubleshoot in CS4, but I could not see one, only in CS3.
Please help.

Using a MsAccess database with Dreamweaver CS4?

Hi Everyone,
I have a question concerning using a Microsoft Access Database with Dreamweaver.
First, I was wondering if this was possible. Second, if it is, could someone give me instructions or a link on how to do this. I am pretty new to Dreamweaver, code, etc..., so simpler instructions on how to acheive this would be great.
Here is some information...
1) I am running Windows XP SP2
2) I am using Microsoft Office 2003 (Acces included)
3) I am using Dreamweaver CS4
4) I have installed XAMMP (Apache,MySQL, FileZilla, and PHPmyAdmin, as far as I know)
If anyone needs more information, I'll be hapy to share it as soon as possible.
Any help is greatly appreciated,
Musicman1994

The choice of database really depends on which server-side technology you plan to use, and what you're actually planning to use it for.
Access was designed to create databases for small office systems. Although I personally found it very confusing, a lot of people like it and say it's easy to use. However, its major drawback is that it creates very large files; and as soon as the website gets a reasonable amount of traffic, Access has a tendency to freeze or lock up. You can create your database in Access and then export it to another database system, such as Microsoft SQL Server or MySQL. But it's better to start with the database that you ultimately plan using.
I certainly wouldn't recommend developing anything in ASP and then attempting to convert the website to PHP. Although all server-side programs share common features and structures, the code is completely different. So, take some time over choosing your technology first. If you have never developed in ASP, you should be aware that Microsoft stopped developing it about ten years ago. It's still popular and widely available, but ASP is likely to dwindle in usefulness as the years go by. Use PHP or ColdFusion, both of which are supported by Dreamweaver. The other main alternative is ASP.NET, but that's no longer supported by Dreamweaver.

Forms with Dreamweaver CS4?

Hi All,
Does anyone have a link or tutoral on how to create a form in Dreamweaver CS4. I need to make a "Request a Catalog" Form.
I especially might need the most help on figuring out on how to receive the info thru my email.
many thanks,
Alex

HTML forms don't do anything without an Action. You can use Mailto: but this is just asking for Spam and limits the usefulness of your form. Your best solution is to use a form processing script with spam controls built in.
Ask your host if they offer any form-to-email processing scripts you can use... or which flavor script you can use on your server (PHP, ASP, ASP.net, ColdFusion, etc...)

Editingutils.js error message dreamweaver cs4

I keep getting this the attached error message using Dreamweaver CS4, spry framework utilizing a number of spry widgets.
CollapsiblePanels
Spry Forms Widgets
I have made changes to the span id names associated with each of the form widgets.
I've reviewed this link http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/401/kb401257.html
However the files described do not contain the following lines and changes
Edit SpryTabbedPanelsDesignTime.js and make the following changes:
THIS DOES NOT EXIST IN THE FILE IN CS4
Go to line 188. Change:
eval("opts = " + args[ 1 ]);
to:
try { eval("opts = " + args[ 1 ]); } catch(e) { opts = null; }
Save the file.
Edit SpryCollapsiblePanelDesignTime.js and make the following changes:

Go to line 188. Change:
eval("opts = " + args[ 1 ]);
to:
try { eval("opts = " + args[ 1 ]); } catch(e) { opts = null; }
Save the file.
Launch Dreamweaver and verify that you can now load your file.
Any other solutions?

I have resolved the editingutils.js by breaking up the forms, but it is not the solution I'm really looking for.
Each of the 6 forms on seperate pages are 450 lines of code.
Form sample.
http://irexs.com/betatest001/can/listCANCommercial.cfmhttp://www.irexs.com/betatest001/
I want to be able to have multiple forms on one page, nested in spry collapsible panels.
I'm using DW CS4 and Coldfusion 8 server, forms utilize SPRY form fields (not cfforms).
In order to reslove the editingutils.js I had to break up the forms, but have considered an alternate solution.
In each panel the forms are nested via cfinculdes; structure as follows.
<div col panel>
     <div col panel content>
          <form spry fields>
               <cfincludes location form file>
               <cfincludes details form file>
          <form end>
     <dev col panel content ent>
<div col panel end>
WHAT I WANT TO ACCOMPLISH is as follows.
Sample page
http://irexs.com/betatest001/can/listCAN.cfm
Forms are to be inserted in the panel content section as described above.
ISSUES ARE:
I have limited JavaScript knowledge.
For the forms to work i require the the panels in closed state at page load: This is done.
ON FORM SUBMIT, I need the panel to stay OPEN, when client side or server side submit requires correction to the form.
What happens now is the page refreshes and the panel closes: the default state.
SOLUTION DESIRED, is to have the selected panel to stay open and the input information to remain when form is submitted.
Thanks for any help.

Dreamweaver CS4 keeps adding tr to my code..

Hello,
I have Dreamweaver CS4 Version 10.0 build 4117. I am coding with ColdFusion and Dreamweaver keeps adding errant <tr > tags to my code. I have even identified this in 3 different files at the exact line in which it adds the <tr > tag. WTF?
Can someone at adobe fix this?

Usually that type of thing happens when you have an error somewhere in your html that DW is trying to correct for you.
Run your page in the validator at http://validator.w3.org to see if you're missing something that DW is trying to fix.
You may also want to check your settings under Edit > Preferences > Code Rewriting > uncheck invalidly nested and unclosed tags

Dreamweaver does not ship with a web server, you have to
install one, or activate one on your system (IIS or Apache for
Widows and Apache for Mac are the common choices). When you define
a site within Dreamweaver you can specify a testing server, as well
as a remote server. If the testing server and/or remote server are
available to your system without an internet connection, then you
can certainly test pages through the web server such as through
http://localhost/
If you are creating HTML pages, then there is no need for a
server at all for creating and testing your pages, but if you are
working with PHP or ColdFusion, then you will need a web server to
work with.
If you have follow up questions, you should ask in the
Dreamweaver General forum (general Dreamweaver usage questions), or
the Application Development forum (questions about dynamically
generated pages), depending on what you're looking to do:

Runtime error in Dreamweaver CS4

When trying to start to work with Dreamweaver CS4 I get a runtime error
Afther building a website in in div's and css and saving it I had no problems. Afther closing the computer and starting to work the next morning I got the error. I've restarted my computer, cleaned my registry but still the error appears.
Does anyone no what to do? Please help.
It is impossible to work without Dreamweaver.

I am using Vista so file locations are different. Still, I cannot find any preferences folder or configuration folder that I can rename to recreate. There is no "CreamWeaver" folder in the user profile - even in the hidden parts.
Anyone have any other ideas?
Rename the folder to Configuration_old and launch Dreamweaver. It should create a new Configuration folder with the factory defaults.
On Vista, it's located at C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Dreamweaver CS4\en_US\Configuration.
It's a hidden folder, so you need to enable hidden folders in Windows Explorer.
Technote:
Try step 4 in the following technote: - corrupt cache file:
http://www.adobe.com/go/tn_19105
If that doesn't work Try #12 - deleting your personal configuration folder.
This information is also available in the Dreamweaver FAQ

Can't see Remote data in Dreamweaver CS4

I have a site that I have had for years and recently changed from a real old version of Dreamweaver to Dreamweaver CS4. I had trouble getting my FTP to work so I used an external program to move the files. The files have been uploaded and the site is active on the Internet so I know there are there.
When I use Dreamweaver, the only thing I can see is the "/" that represents the root folder. All the site definitions say that it can connect to my server, it just does not show the files.
Any ideas?
Thanks, Fred

Hi,
here I'll quote a hint from Nancy O. for DW applications:
Try toggling Passive and/or Secure FTP on/off.
Your web host might have changed upload requirements to improve security.
Another thing to check is your Anti-virus and Firewall settings. If they are too restrictive, DW may not have permission to connect to the remote server.

Extension Manager CS4 not installing extensions in Dreamweaver CS4

Just installed CS4 Design Premium. Now i want to install some
extensions to Dreamweaver.
When I click on the extension to install it I get a message
from the Extension Manager saying:
"This extension can not be installed, it products requires
Dreamweaver 6 or greater. To install this extension, please try to
install Dreamweaver CS4 or use Extension Manager CS3 which works
with Adobe CS3 and earlier products."
I have even tried to install it by opening the Extension
Manager from Dreamweaver via the
Commands menu, with the same results.
- I have version 2.0.274 of Adobe Extension Manager CS4.
- I do not see the Dreamweaver icon in Extension Manager's
product list*
- I tried to reinstall Dreamweaver
(which also reinstalled Extension Manager)
- Easy to forget; I am on a Mac
- The extensions should be okay, as they install quite nice
in Dreamweaver CS3
I tried to look for a
plist to edit, but as I do not really know what to look for
this action failed.
*in the same order i find the icons of Flash CS4, Fireworks
CS4, Photoshop CS4, Indesign CS4, Illustrator CS4 and Bridge CS4 in
the products list.

What extensions are you trying to install?

Dreamweaver CS4 interface problems in Win 7 Ultimate 64bit

I'm experiencing some frutratingly bizzare behavior with Dreamweaver CS4 and Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit and I'm hoping someone might now how to fix the issues.
1) When creating a new site by selecting "Site/New Site..." or "Site/Manage Sites..." the fields for selecting "Local root folder" and "Default images folder" always select a directory above where I tell it.
For example if I tell it to use "E:\ClientFiles\Client\website\" it always selects "E:\ClientFiles\Client\". and the only solution is to write in the proper directory manually.
2) Possibly related to the above targeting problem. In a document, even an new empty xhtml, if I place an image on the page and double click on that image to replace it with another I get the dialog box for selecting the new image, but on pressing "OK" nothing happens. The same thing occurs if I select the fodler icon in the properites at the bottom. The only methods that work are either deleting the placed image and then placing a new image or deleting the "Src" info in the "properties" panel and then clicking the folder icon next to "Src".
You can see how this would get frustrating after a while.
I've tried a complete reinstall of CS4, deleting the Dreamweaver cache file, and I get the same behavior on my laptop which is also running Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit.
Any help would be appreciated. I've submitted this behavior to Adobe support as well in hops that it can some how be resolved.

Both are known issues in DW on Win 7 and Vista. It's not just 64 bit.
Until Adobe issues a patch, the workarounds you describe are the only solutions for the timebeing.

Dreamweaver CS4 Insert Table button does not work.

I recently upgrade from an older version of Dreamweave to Dreamweaver CS4. But now I have a problem with inserting tables.
They have the dropdown on the top right for Classic, Coder, Coder Plus and so on. I was using classic and everything was fine, then all of a sudden if I try using the Insert Table button from the Inserts tab, it does nothing. If I right click on the button, then click on the button it works, and if i switch to any other view it works. so then I used Coder and it was fine, but then again it stopped working. So I switched to Coder Plus and it was fine for a few more days and then it stops working again. I have rebooted my machine, closed out of DW and nothing seems to fix it. I just installed all adobe software updates and there was nothing in the update that fixed the problem. Does anyone else have this issue and if so, how do I fix it?
I have searched google and I can't find anything. I can keep switching views but one day soon if it continues, I'm going to run out of views and Its such a habit to use the button instead of the Ctrl+Alt+T shortcut.

try the following
Recreate Dreamweaver CS4 Configuration and registry
- rename the configuration folder to any name. (just add any character I suggest)
C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Application Data\Adobe\Dreamweaver CS4\Configuration
- recreate the registry folder
Start > run > regedit
HKEY_CURRENT_USER>Software>Adobe>Dreamweaver>10. Rename 10 ex: 10_old
maybe you can post your specs here for more specific troubleshooting. Cheers!
