Dreamweaver CS5.5. save problem

I am using DW CS5.5.
Ctrl+S and file>save just get ignored and I have to close the file to save docs.
I managed to get rid of unhelpful error messages when closing files by deleting a couple of .htm files from the folder \configuration\commands\ but it hasn't helped resolve the main problem of only being able to save by closing the doc.
Any ideas? Thanks

"If this configuration folder is the one in the Program Files hierarchy, you may have shot yourself in the foot. Never mess with those."
I had a neighbor one time who was annoyed that "that darn bolt on the bottom of my engine" kept scraping on the curb when he'd pull in or out of his driveway, so he ground it down till it was flat with the oil pan. It wasn't till about a year later when he took the car in to have the oil changed that he realized the error of his ways. Cost him $500 to have the pan pulled and replaced.
If you don't know what it does, find out first or leave it alone.

Dreamweaver CS5 and xampp problem

Hi folks,
i had cs5 trial installed on my last laptop
running vista 32bit
with xampp, i could edit wordpress files
no problem,
but i just got a new laptop
now running windows 7 64bit,
i installed cs5 trial fine and xampp.
I just went to edit wordpress files for the first time
and when i go to index.php as soon as i go to
'discover' i get dreamweaver 'not responding'
and it doesn't respond.
Anybody have any ideas?
Thanks
Daniel

Thanks for the reply,
there was an update for dreamweaver yesterday which fixed my problem,
i don't know why because the update was for browserlab and dreamweaver compatibility or something like that,
but it fixed my problem and now the files load instead of the program (not responding)
so now i'm happy lol.

Unfortunately I can't help you. But if it's any consolation, you are not alone. I am suffering from same symptom except it happens with any dynamic site I need to work on. And it doesn't matter whether the sites are local or remote.
I am running Windows 7 64bit as well in both of my machines, desktop (AMD) and laptop (Intel), and this happens on both of them and with any dynamic site, Joomla! for instance.

Dreamweaver Cs5.5 render problem

Hi there.
I've been experiencing an issue where any page I open in Dreamweaver in a split view is experiencing
some rendering problems. Not sure what could be cuasing this. A recent upgrade to extensis Suitcase Fusion maybe.
Strange.
I'm open to ideas.

Definitely something that should be posted in the Dreamweaver Forum. This forum is for Suite-wide issues.

Dreamweaver CS5 Spry Menu problem;

Hi, I'm doing a web-site project for my Web Design class, and I ran into a problem. In Dreamweaver my spry menu only shows one part of the menu, but when I go to preview it, its perfectly normal. When I turned it into my teacher he sees the spry menu just like the one in Pic 2. I can't really upload it to a public domain/website because I can't at school. The way we see websites is by transfering folders into the teachers folders and click the index.html. Is there any way to fix this?

Dreamweaver CS5, charset, UTF-8 & Templates

Greetings.
I have a template-based site (a heap of pages inheriting from a single template). Everything is HTML5. The pages are UTF-8 encoded, and liberally employ Unicode characters such as em dashes, curly quotes, and curly apostrophes. DW is configured for UTF-8 as the default encoding (although that may only apply to new documents—I am unclear on that).
As long as my template (and by extension all the pages that inherit from it) contains the following meta tag in head, I'm fine:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
If I remove that tag and update all the files, all instances of non-ascii-equivalent Unicode characters (all those em dashes and curly quotes and apostrophes) get trashed (replaced with garbage characters) throughout my files.
If I replace that tag with its proper HTML5 equivalent:
<meta charset="utf-8">
…the same thing happens: all instances of non-ascii-equivalent Unicode characters get trashed (replaced with garbage characters) throughout my files.
Unless I'm missing something critical—I hope I am—this situation suggests two problems. The small problem would be that DW5 doesn't support HTML5's meta charset tag. The big problem would be that DW5 doesn't handle text file encodings reliably and is prone to corrupt your files in batch operations unless you line everything up just so (whatever that is, exactly).
Does anybody have any insight for me?
Thank you!

Hello.
Dreamweaver CS5 fix many problem about charset.
1. File save in program as UTF-8
2. Set HEADER

Dreamweaver CS5.5 vs. Mountain Lion Problem

After upgrading to Mac OSX Mountain Lion, each time I open Dreamweaver CS5.5 I have to enter my remote server's username and password. The Save password checkbox is checked. Everything works fine during that session but if I close Dreamweaver and reopen it, I find it hasn't retained that username and password. The problem happens 100% of the time. I've seen this same problem with a few other people but no solutions yet. Any idea?
Thanks,
David

That's a corrupt keychain, nothing to do with Adobe. Happened to me after the Apple Lion upgrade with some applications.
First open up the Keychain app in the Utitilies folder (or hit cmd+space for spotlight and type "keychain" it will be first). Then in the search box at the top of Keychain, type "SiteServer". That will bring up the DW passwords. If you don't know your passwords, open each up and write them down. Once you know them, delete the records that came up from your search. Then proceed to open DW. All passwords will now be gone and you will have to go through your site's 1-by-1 and re-add the passwords. The site definitions will still be in tact, only the passwords will have to be re-saved since DW uses the Apple keychain to store passwords and not the configuration files. Close DW and re-open again, your passwords should be good to go.

Dreamweaver cs5 problems and adobe support close the case on you

I emailed Adobe support with the message below and they closed the case on me and told me to go over to the developers connection website and open a case there. Well of course there is no where to open a case there, it brings you back to the normal support pages, so I opened a case again!
This is just one of the flaws in Cs5 I've found from intensive useage yesterday.
1. Hangs for nearly 2 minutes if you use an external link to ny file like jquery in the header of the pages - detailed below
2. Sometimes when selecting a related file it says "not on server" and actually tries to open ANOTHER ftp connection listed. It switches connection and then says"not on server" - well of course not....because it just changed to another server! However many time you change it back, it won't have it.
3. The pop up css is a good idea but not well thought out. I have to right click to get inspect but when I roll over the areas it doesn't show the css in the css panel. If I right click and select to show the code, it shows me the css, I then have to click it to select it in the left column. All very long winded... WHY NOT JUST CLICK AN AEA ON THE LIVE VIEW PAGE AND IT SHOWS THE CSS THERE INSTANTLY TO EDIT?!
4. On first open after a quit and relaunch, or restart, switching from normal view to live view hangs Dreamweaver for over a minute before live view is displayed.
Very very buggy and I feel I have paid for a beta version.
Hello I now have Dreamweaver CS5.
It has MAJOR flaw.
If a webpage contains the code
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.4.2.min.js"></script>#
It takes over 1 minute to open each page after launching
This is caused by the 'related files' facility
THIS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE in software which is this expensive.
All design companies such as us use jquery.
Please fix this flaw asap or supply me with a fix. Turning of related files
helps but if I was to do that what would be the point in
having that facility? (which I am paying for!)

Hi,
Appreciate your reply and accept what you say, I'll take on board the suggestions.
My answers under yours below
Second, the Bug Report form is here: https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform . Technical support is not a bug reporting center, nor are they developers which is why they probably closed your case. And there really are not any questions in your support request it reads like a bug report and an angry one at that, not even starting out calm, shouting almost immediately.
- Frustration, I've been up all night, hours messing with it.
Thanks for the link, I'll post to that. I personally don't agree that bugs this big should be present in software of such high upgrade fee's and which should have been tested but I guess we all know its the way of the world now.
1. Why are you working with remote website files that are not part of your domain and not in your local site? This is a bad practice to get in the habit of. If their website shuts down, so does the functionality of yours. Many here will argue that point.
- This is a valid point I've come across before and reading up on it I found it was said that the site in question was on cloud servers, mirrored etc. The link I posted was from someone elses post who was having a similar problem. I personally use the flowplay/jquery main link which has ALL the jquery plugins/effects so whatever is used on that page works.
http://cdn.jquerytools.org/1.1.2/full/jquery.tools.min.js
We did this as it seemed that was what everyone was doing, it seems I am wrong and I take on board your comments about downloading the file.
2. "Sometimes". That is the key word in your statement. Sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn't. What happens when it says "Sometimes not on server" and what happens in the other times. What's different? It's usually hard to believe it's random luck. But developers in a bug report need to know these things. What's different about the file(s)? Is it with certain file(s), type(s), etc? How would it open another FTP connection, do you have multiple FTP locations defined within one site definition?
I probably used the wrong word in 'sometimes' - A better description would be "some of the related files". When live view is on the right and code on the left, related files across the top. If I hover my mouse over the files, it tells me where they are. This info is incorrect on 'some' of the files, not all of them but about 8 out of 10.
It shows the file as being in the folder of another account in the site defs, but its not in there, it's in the one I'm working on (and which is live in the ftp file window). So if I click on the file to view it, it says its not available, and asks if I want to download it from the server. That doesn't work because it then tries to switch the ftp connection to the other site and download.
I thought it was muddled so I removed all the ftp sites and set up just one, the one I was working on. But that didn't work... it then thinks the related files are in "unnamed site 1" - anywhere but looking in its own folder or on its own ftp server!
4. You seem to be referring to Question #1 here so that is answered.
"Please fix this flaw asap or supply me with a fix." - So you are saying Please fix this flaw with a patch or give me the patch. Again, this sounds like you want to file a bug report and not create a support request.
- Accepted, you are right, its a bug report, just they directed me to the developer website and I kept ending up here, so began to believe this is where I should be posting.
"All design companies such as us use jquery". - While I wouldn't be so quick to say all, but rather most, I would say see my answer to #1. Why make your site dependent on someone else's?
- Accepted, I appreciate your honest comments and critism and fot taking the time to reply :-)

Problem playing an imported flash template in dreamweaver cs5

hi,i just downloaded a flash template from flashmo.com and imported it to dreamweaver cs5 through Insert > media > SWF and it loaded. but the problem is, when i click the live view or play the file in the properties,nothing shows up.except some texts "loading XML data..."
all the flash templates i have downloaded face this prob. i have no idea where is the mistake.
what could be the problem?any help,plz.

From their website:
" Adobe Flash (version 8 or higher) is required to edit the
FLA file.
- Use the source codes at your own risk after downloading and
flashmo.com is
not responsible for any bugs or errors caused by
ActionScripts."
Do you own Flash? Are you familliar with action scripts? If
not, then you
probably want to start with a plain html template and learn
how to code html
and CSS. Flash sites look nice but they are not friendly for
Search Engines
or users who don't have flash player installed on their
system.
Here are some on-line tutorials to help you get started with
html and CSS

Dreamweaver CS5 webdesign lay-out problem + spry

Hello there
I'm making a site, but I'm encountering some problems. I'm making one in Dreamweaver CS5 with CSS-styles. I decided to work with percentages to build up my site.
So my container has following measurements: containeris min-width: 640, max-width: 1920, width: 75% (to have 2 white backgroundcolums next to my site).
My sidebar is width: 21%, float:left and content is width 79%, float:right
I arranged the lay-out of my menu with submenu, placed in sidebar, with a sprymenubarvertical from Dreamweaver.
When I open up the site on my Dell E6510 laptop, the site looks as the first picture of below, so everything works fine!
When some computers, especially older ones open it up, the get the second picture.
So can anyone help me figuring out why:
- The content is now placed UNDER my menu and not next to eachother?
- Why did my menu turn white, did I loose my background image of it, and does he show the a:hover as normal?
- Same as above for the submenu...
Then I'm having another problem: If I make the screen smaller of my browser, like half of the page, he shrinks the sidebar and content, but he doesnt shrink the font + the gallery from my content doesn't shrink either.
Also, the slideshow, made with Aleo slideshow maker, doesn"t show on mac.
Could this be solved by just making the widths fixed or is there another solution? Also, the slideshowgallery has a fixed width(as imported), how to make that automaticely go smaller if you shrink the screen?
Any tips would we convenient!
(http://www.maxx-it.be/Aanbod/Webdesign/mira.html)
The first picture is how it should be, second one is taken from how other computers see the site, third one is if I shrink the screen
Thanks alot you guys
Greetz
MasterJ09

I'm sorry didn't mean to send any corrupted files or links.
In case it would help I added a link here where I uploaded my style.css, and my sprymenubar styles, with the basic template and the indexhtmlpage through Megaupload. I added the printscreens as well. I hope this will work.
If this isn't the right method of posting please tell me how to?
Thanks in advance!

Problems using Dreamweaver CS5 on Maverick Operating System

I have updated the operating system from Lyon to Maverick and I am having problems using Dreamweaver CS5, I open the program and it closes automatically. I had no problems using Dreamweaver on Lyon operating system. Is there a patch or a solution to this problem? Thanks!

Are you intending to purchase a standalone version of Dreamweaver CS5?
Your work computer has probably got a CS4 Creative Suite installed (Design Premium CS4?).
You won't be able to upgrade Dreamweaver CS4 (from the Suite) on your work computer to standalone Dreamweaver CS5. It's not a valid upgrade path.
Tip: CS6 is due to be released very soon.
http://store.adobe.com/store/en_us/popup/offer/cs55_cs6_faqchannel.html
Although free upgrades from CS5 (purchased after 26 March 2012) are available, there is some paperwork involved. In your position, I personally prefer to wait until CS6 ships - unless CS5 is really the version you want, of course.

Dreamweaver CS5 update apparently fixes Mac FileVault problem

Adobe has just released Dreamweaver 11.0.2 (build 4916), which is intended to fix the problem with running Dreamweaver CS5 on Mac OS X with FileVault enabled. Adobe Updater should automatically detect the update, and display the Adobe logo in the menu bar at the top right of the screen on a Mac. Click the logo, and select Adobe Updater. Alternatively, select Help > Updates in Dreamweaver.
I don't use FileVault, so can't verify that the update fixes the problem. Hopefully, it does.

I was getting the same error message on both Windows 7 64-bit as well as XP 32-bit. When CS5 Dreamweaver installs (and several other Adobe CS5 products) it includes an older version of the Java 1.6 Runtime Environment which has known serious security flaws. My university's computer security people got a report from Secunia PSI that I was running vulnerable software (an older version of Java) and demanded that I immediately upgrade.
But I do have the latest updates of the JRE installed, so I was puzzled by this. When I looked at the Secunia report, the JRE culprits were installed in the Programs\Adobe folders as part of each application such as Dreamweaver (and several others). So I removed the insecure JRE folders under those program installations and replaced them with the updated JRE folder from the Java installation (JVM for DW). Granted, this was a bit of a gamble since the registry was not modified, but I had not experienced any problems until I kept getting the installation failure reported here for the CS5 DW update failure with no explanation.
Realizing that Dreamweaver is still a 32-bit app even when running on 64-bit Win 7, and I was running the 64-bit version of Java 1.6 v20, I thought I should have used the 32-bit version of Java to replace the insecure version installed under Dreamweaver. I tried that, as above, but the DW CS5 update still failed.
Then I tried to reinstall CS5 Dreamweaver only, which succeeded with the older insecure JRE which then immediately got flagged by Secunia PSI. Furthermore, the Dreamweaver update still failed with no explanation. I noticed that some of the previous Java files (by their dates) were still left in the DW installation JVM folder, after the re-install. So next I removed the entire Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Dreamweaver CS5 folder, and did a clean reinstall of Dreamweaver CS5 only. It was immediately detected again by Secunia PSI as have an insecure version of JRE. However, this time when I did the Dreamweaver update, it succeeded (v11.0 build 4916) on my 64-bit Win 7 machine.
So the choice currently appears to get Dreamweaver CS5 updates with an older insecure version of the JRE or
not get Dreamweaver updates but be secure with the latest JRE manually installed. My university security people will not tolerate the former
I don't understand why Adobe does not put the latest JRE's as part of their standard updates. Moreover, why put them in the Adobe installations at all--which is causing this security problem of older insecure JRE's--and instead use the main Java installation on the user's machine (and if absent, require users to install Java), if Java is really needed.

Dreamweaver 2014.1 Build 6947 (Mac) - save problem

I updated to latest version yesterday and now have a problem when I save files which shouldn't happen on a 2012iMac saving to a thunderbolt drive - and didn't happen before updating.
When I save a file i get to watch the (very pretty but boring) spinning top for a longtime. If the 'Force Quit' window is open it shows Dreamweaver 'not responding'. Mostly but not always Dreamweaver decides to respond again.
Same site, same settings, same HDD as before the update.
IMac: 3.4GHz i7 32GB RAM
OS X: 10.9.5
What have you broke?

Hi Nancy,
It seems it's a bug, so I will go back to the previous vetsion. Thanks for

Dreamweaver CS5 does not save ftp password

I'm running dreamweaver CS5 on a MacBook Pro with OS 10.6.4 and find I need to enter my user name and password for ftp server access each time I launch dreamweaver. Anyone know of a solution? I haven't had this problem with previous CS versions. Thanks

It's been discussed a fair bit here recently.

Problem Creating Recordset in Dreamweaver CS5.5

Can you help?
I am having with recordsets in Dreamweaver CS5.5, or rather the sudden (I don’t know why this has suddenly happened) inability to create one.
When I try to create a recordset query I get this error message and am prevented from creating said recordset -
While executing onBlur in ServerBeh-PHP-SimpRS.htm the following javascript
