Dreamweaver CS4 Questions/Issues

I just uploaded CS4, and I noticed some strange things within Dreamweaver (DW). I'm hoping that someone can help me to figure out how to solve them:
1) When I minimize DW, the cursor acts strange when trying to use DW( i.e. scrolling, clicking on files, etc.) or resize its window. I have to maximize DW in order to use it properly. Does anyone know why this is happening?
2) I see an easy way to minimize the left-column's files/assets/snippets window, but I don't see the same feature for the bottom-column's property and search windows. Is there a way to create one within preferences, because I cannot find one?
3) I cannot get the left-column's files/assets/snippets window to minimize completely, as it did with DW MX 2004. Is there a way to do this within preferences, because I cannot find one?
4) The find and replace feature doesn't work when I first find a piece of code throughout the site, and then select which pages I want it to replace. I have th manually open up each page and run the find/replace job, or do a "replace all" job. But the basic "replace" job isn't working. Does anyone know why this is happening?
That's all that I've found so far. These little things make it difficult to work with DW CS4, which is sad. I'm really hoping that most if not all of them can be fixed. Thanks for any help.

Thanks for the reply PZ.
Q: 1) When I minimize DW, the cursor acts strange when trying to use DW( i.e. scrolling, clicking on files, etc.) or resize its window. I have to maximize DW in order to use it properly. Does anyone know why this is happening?
A: 1. Sorry, cannot help with this one.
Comment: That's too bad. There's definitely a bug with this one.
Q: 2) I see an easy way to minimize the left-column's files/assets/snippets window, but I don't see the same feature for the bottom-column's property and search windows. Is there a way to create one within preferences, because I cannot find one?
A: 2. On the bottom ones just click on any part of the title bar.
Comment: That worked great! Thanks.
Q: 3) I cannot get the left-column's files/assets/snippets window to minimize completely, as it did with DW MX 2004. Is there a way to do this within preferences, because I cannot find one?
A: 3. If you look at the very top of all the panels / groups, you will see a small double arrow, click on this.
Comment: Yeah, I see that, but the minimized box still takes up a lot of space on the left. My DW MX 2004 used to minimize completely to the left. Is that not possible with this version?
Q: 4) The find and replace feature doesn't work when I first find a piece of code throughout the site, and then select which pages I want it to replace. I have th manually open up each page and run the find/replace job, or do a "replace all" job. But the basic "replace" job isn't working. Does anyone know why this is happening?
A: 4. With the find replace dialog box, you have to select the folder/file options.
Comment: I just tried that, but it didn't work. The little green dots don't appear next to the one's selected, and the replace never happens, and an error never gets displayed. No matter which option I select in the "Find In" drop down box, it doesn't replace my selected ones. Like I said, if I choose "Replace All", it works fine. But if I choose to "Find", and then do a "Replace" on only certain files, it doesn't work. If anyone has any clue as to why this feature doesn't work, I'd really appreciate it, because I use this specific feature on a daily basis.
Thanks.

  • Dreamweaver CS4 strange issues happening

    Suddenly when I do a find and replace and I do a carriage return in the replace portion of the find/replace window to make my edit go to an extra line, the carriage return occurs behind it on the page I'm editing. It doesn't add a <p> tag in the document, just kind of highlights what I have in the find window and each time I hit Enter the next instance of the what I'm trying to find gets highlighted.
    Also, when I try to add <strong> tags to my document this appears on the page instead &lt;strong&gt;
    What the hell?
    I tried recreating my configuration folder (I'm on Windows Vista) but it still happens.
    Any ideas??

    Re :Re: Dreamweaver CS4 having issues after installing PS CS6 Beta
    Just a thought ...
    This may help!
    Uninstall the Beta Version of Photoshop CS6 now and then restart your computer and see if that works.
    Open the CS4 programs and see if that fixed the problem and it is all working as it should again.
    It is worth a try!
    All the best.

  • Dreamweaver CS4 having issues after installing PS CS6 Beta

    Hi All,
    I'm having issues with Dreamweaver CS4 after installing Photoshop CS6 Beta. I'm getting the follwing erros when trying to open any html file (see attached image).
    Once I click OK, the file will open, also now; any copy and paste commands will not work. Anyone else experiencing any problems with other apps after installing this beta version?
    Any help and feedback is much appreciated, thanks!

  • Dreamweaver cs4 layout issues

    Hi
    I am using Dreamweaver CS4. When i am designing my web page, I get a totally different look when I am in design view and when I switch to live view. Can you tell me why is this???

    It's because Design view is only a rough approximation and shouldn't be used as a final word for how the page will look in the browser.  Live view is an actual browser (WebKit = Safari), and should render the page as it would look, in Safari at least.
    If you are seeing a big difference between the two, however, then it's likely you have some underlying coding issues.  Does your page validate here?

  • DREAMWEAVER CS4 - FTP issues

    I loaded Snow Leopard onto a new imac last week.
    Since loading SL I have not been about to access remote ftp's using Dreamweaver which I have used for years I now get 'permission errors', 'password incorrect' etc.
    I also have an older mac here running Tiger and CS3 - no issue accessing ftp's.
    The problem I think is Snow leopard interfering with Dreamweaver.
    Does anyone have any suggestions other than removing SL and reinstalling Panther.

    Hi midnight in oz;
    I think there is something wrong with the data you have provided for us.
    It is impossible to install Snow Leopard on a G5 iMac as listed in your profile.
    Also if your iMac is new one, you will not be able install Panther on it.
    Could you please provide us with the correct information so that we might be able to help you?

  • Styling first letter in each line differently [was: Dreamweaver cs4 question]

    I am trying to change the font in a group of text, I want to change the first letter of each sentence to a large size and different color and when I do this it changes the entire  paragraph in the div, so how can I change the attribute of one letter in a word? Example: See how the first letter of each sentence spells out earth?  I want to make those letters to stand out.  CAN ANYONE TELL ME HOW TO DO THIS??????

    [Subject line edited for clarity by moderator]

    Your question went unanswered for nearly a day because of the meaningless subject line you used. Please take a moment to read How to get help quickly.
    There are a couple of ways to achieve what you want. The way I would do it is to make each line a separate paragraph, and wrap them in a div with an ID called "earth". The following CSS style rule will make the first letter of each paragraph 24px tall and green:
    #earth p:first-letter {
      color:#090;
      font-size:24px;
    This uses the first-letter pseudo-element and applies it to all paragraphs in the earth div.

  • Dreamweaver CS4 display issue

    Hi all
    I have a really weird problem and it only seems to affect certain pages I create but when I go into design view when looking to edit a page, some of the page doesn't display within DW, if I click in the area and go to split view I can see the relevant text showing in the code view or the link to an image if that is what is clicked on.
    The only way I can resolve this is to goto the view menu and choose not to display styles under style rendering, then of course I do not see the page as it will look in a browser but I can then edit, insert or remove text which when I then check to display in a browser works fine with all css applied.
    These pages in the main were created in DW CS3 so not sure if that is the issue but I just cannot seem to resolve the issue so any advice or ideas would be much appreciated.
    Cheers
    Omron

    Thanks for the reply Bregent, the interesting thing is it displays perfectly well in IE, Firefox and Chrome so not sure it is a code error however here is the code:

  • Design View Issue Dreamweaver CS4 - Taking forever to load design view

    I am having an issue where my site takes literally almost a full day to load in design view. Once it is loaded everything works seemlessly but once I close down Dreamweaver and reopen it, I have to wait another day to get to design view of my site. All files open just fine in code view.
    I have deleted the Dreamweaver CS4 cache folder, completely formatted my drive and reinstalled creative suite. I have also validated my code on W3c and everything checks out fine.
    The majority of my site is based off of a template, but even when I remove all the template references in the html files from Notepad I am still having the same issue. My site renders fine and quickly however on Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, and Safari.
    When loading any other site off the web into Dreamweaver I do not run into the problem so there must be something wrong with how my site is set up. Either the Template file is no good or somewhere else I am falling short. Can someone, please, please, please ( I am begging) help me figure out what is going on here.
    My index file is located at - http://www.thebluedot.net/index.html and the template file is located at - http://www.thebluedot.net/Templates/index.dwt
    I have searched high and low and even made a post on this same topic about a month ago but never came up with a resolution to my issue. I had given up on finding a solution to this problem for some time, but I really need to figure out where I am going wrong here!
    Additional Details -
    I am running - Windows Vista Ultimate on a Core 2 Processor with 12 GB of Ram & Solid State Hard Drive. Everything on my system runs super smoothly except loading my site in Dreamweaver CS4 design view.
    I really appreciate any help you can provide.

    I have used CS2 Adobe GoLive to create and manage a website (pro-prosperity.com).  Now, I have CS4 Dreamweaver.  I got a new site set up on Dreamweaver using the site management facility.  I then have the contents of website available locally on Dreamweaver.  I can edit files.  But the main home page, index.html, is not displaying on design view mode for editing, although it displays everything on live view mode.  I have struggled for days and am not getting any difference in attributes of index.html and another .html that is displaying fine on design view and is editable. 
    I am really lost and am begging for any help.  Can you, for example, copy the home page from pro-prosperity.com and display on design view and edit it?  Please tell me what is in this file that is troublesome.  Thanks.
    The first thing you should do is to make sure that this feature is turned on (it's off by default):
      View > Code View Options > Highlight Invalid Html
    It's not perfect, but it will notify you of some problems. In Code View, there are many problems highlighted. Some of them don't make sense, but are triggered because of a problem with a parent tag.
    Be sure to make a backup copy of your file before doing the next step. Close your page. Go to Preferences > Code Rewriting, and turn on "Fix invalidly nested and unclosed tags", "Remove extra closing tags", and "Warn when fixing or removing tags". Click OK, then re-open your page. The messages in the dialog to tell you what was changed. This allowed me to see your page in Design View (I am using CS5).
    Note: I suggested that you reset your preferences to turn off those 3 settings as they can cause problems with some markup.
    In the long term, I suggest that you avoid nesting tables wherever possible.
    Hope this helps,

  • Issue with font dreamweaver cs4

    Hi,
    i have a powerbook with tiger and dreamweaver 8, and also i have a mbp with leopard and dreamweaver cs4.
    My issue is with font rendition .. i mean, i setup both system a software with the same parameters, code view in Dreamweaver with Monaco at 8pt, and in Look (System preferences) disable antialiasing for font smaller than 8pt. The issue is the with configuration the code appears in two different ways. With powerbook the view is fine, instead on mbp the font is like with antialising and it appears out of focus.. why does it happen?
    The only different thing is the screen resolution 1440x960 against 1400x900..
    Do you have any suggestion? Or code font to suggest..
    Many thanks

    On the MBPro, open FontBook, select the font, then from the Menu Bar, click File/Validate Font and see if that helps.

  • 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,

  • FTP Connection Issue in Dreamweaver CS4

    I just reinstalled Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit and of course had to reinstall Design Premium CS4. Up until now Dreamweaver CS4 (Version 10.0 Build 4117) has connected to ftp flawlessly, however ever since I reinstalled I have been receiving the "An FTP error occurred - cannot make connection to host. The remote host cannot be found" error message.
    What I have tried so far:
    I have double checked that my login information is correct
    I have successfully logged in to the ftp server using another ftp client and through a browser
    Through Dreamweaver I have tried using passive FTP, secure FTP, firewall and none of those settings make a difference.
    I receive the error message whether I click "test" or try to connect through the files panel .
    I have checked my firewall settings and Dreamweaver is an allowed program.
    I don't have access to another ftp server to check if would work in that situation.
    I have uninstalled and reinstalled both Dreamweaver and the entire suite.
    Is there anything else that I need to do?
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    This is a maddening issue that's getting press in various forums, here and on Adobe's site, and all sorts of third party blogs, etc. I spent days wrestling with this with no luck, because in CS3, which I"ve been using for years under OS X, Extension Manager is broken (under Mountain Lion, at least). Installed CS4, CS5—nothing worked. The ""can't connect" error message appears instantly, suggesting that DW wasn't even trying to make the FTP connection, which led me to suspect Little Snitch or some other firewall issue, but this wasn't the case. I isolated login items, repaired permissions, booted in Safe Mode—all with no luck. Finally, I tried opening DW from a different user login and FTP connected. This, at least in my case, pointed to something in the user folder. I narrowed it down to the User/Library folder. Creating a new user and copying the Library folder over copied over the problem, as expected. New user was deleted, and I wen tinto the troublemaking User/Library folder to see what I could see. There were old files and folders there from previous installs, including CS3—speciifically in the User/Library/Application Support folder and, of course, in User/Library/Preferences. After deleting thiese, I found no further problems connecting via FTP in DW CS4. I presume that CS5 also would connect now, but I'm not keen to put it to the test. Under CS4, Extension Manager works fine, which is what I was looking to accomplish in upgrading from CS3. Moral of the story: Adobe CS installations do not like legacy files and folder either in User/Library/Application Support or User/Library/Preferences. Deleting these may work for you, too—at least it's another string to the troubleshooting bow, and this one can be a real bear. Good luck to all who have run into this.

  • Menus.xml issue when trying to launch Dreamweaver CS4

    I have used Dreamweaver CS4 for many years on my Mac. I had a drive failure and have had to reload all of my applications from scratch as there seemed to be an issue with the Time Machine back up. Everything is working well apart from Dreamweaver CS4 which brings up an error message telling me to delete my menus.xml file and rename menus.bak to menus.xml which just doesn't work.
    I have checked and this has been asked before but none of the previous answers that I could find will work for me. Any new ideas?
    Apple MacBook Pro (mid 2010 model) running bang up to date version of OSX Mavericks.

    One issue appears to be that Dreamweaver has loaded the help and configurations files into a folder in applications rather than in application support. I do not have a Dreamweaver CS4 folder anywhere in applications support under my identity or than of the loacl admin.
    You need to turn on your hidden folders to see it.

  • Issues editing Layouts using Dreamweaver CS4 (ShopOnline)

    Hi Everyone,
    I am having Issues editing Layouts using Dreamweaver CS4 (ShopOnline). May be someone has encounter this problem. When I open the large_product.html in dreamweaver (after installing the extension for BC) the file opens, but when I go to the property inspector, I can not modify any of the css rules currently defined and no css is linked to this file. I looked at all the available css's and I could not find any with the defined rules in this page.
    I need help. Thanks.

    It must be a module template layout that is being used.  If you're on the latest interface it's under
    Site Manager > Module Templates > Online Shop Layouts >  Individual Product (small or large)
    and if you're on the older interface it's
    Ecommerce > Products > Advanced Layout customization (under the “related” box at the bottom right)
