Dreamweaver CS5.5 using OLD widget browser...

I recently updated from Dreamweaver CS5 to version 5.5 -- and watched a Lynda.com video displaying the new features of CS5.5.
One of the videos focused on the new features in the Widget Browser, specifically:
1. The ability to import/export widget preset configurations
2. The ability to drag a widget into an open document by clicking on a new "Drag and Drop" icon
Now, when I load 5.5, and go into the Widget Browser...neither of those new features is present. The import/export buttons are nowhere to be seen, and neither is the "Drag and Drop" icon. It seems to be loading the exact same Widget Browser as version 5.
Any ideas how to get it to load the correct Widget Browser?
(I still have Dreamweaver CS5 on my system. I thought the update would copy over it, but it didn't...)

I just noticed something from the Lynda.com video: it's showing that the guy is using Version 2.00 Build 211 of the Widget Browser.
My version of Widget Browser is still showing Version 1.0 Build 568.
All of the other new features in CS5.5 are working fine. But not the Widget Browser.
I'm going to uninstall Dreamweaver CS5 and CS5.5 -- and try re-installing them from scratch.
Here's a screenshot of what I'm talking about:

I can't sign in to use my widget browser in cs6

I get this error message when trying to sign in to use the widget browser in CS6:
"Unable to load WSDL. If currently online, please verify the URI and/or format of the WSDL (http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/exchange/exchangedwwidgetsfacade.cfc?wsdl)"

Sorry to report that the widget browser was discontinued; some time ago. Pleas use JQuery instead.

Force Dreamweaver CS5 to use long hexadecimal color codes

Hi everyone. Does anybody know if there is an option to force Dreamweaver CS5 to use long hexadecimal color codes in all instances?
My company designs email newsletters and so we have to ensure maximum compatibility across web clients and email programs. The worst offenders for rendering CSS are Gmail and Outlook. We have to ensure all text and links have their color set by inline style tags, and since this is CSS Dreamweaver inserts them in 3-character shortform. Some versions of Outlook are not capable of processing these shortcodes, and so we must use 6-character codes in all instances.
I am aware that this is not necessary for most people but for us it is an essential feature. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Sorry for the confusion, SnakEyez02. My sense is that tobe82 addressed the issue that Dreamweaver CS5 inserts 3-character shortform hex code, i.e., #FC3 instead of #FFCC33. This can be seen by using Page Properties to select a color for the page background. As tobe82 points out, there doesn't seem to be a Preference that addresses 3- vs 6-character hex codes although CS5 uses the shorter version under some circumstances.
For those doing HTML newsletters with Dreamweaver, this is a significant issue because thousands of subscribers use a wide variety of email software, including Microsoft Mail, and view the newsletters online with a wide range of web browsers, including Internet Explorer. Having a "happy yellow" background render black on heavily used Windows software is unacceptable. Knowing the way to correct this is important, so tobe82's question in this forum helped by suggesting the manual code fix. But I agree with tobe82 that it would be a good idea for Adobe to provide a Preference now that the 3-character shortform hex code is in Dreamweaver CS5.
(Un)fortunately, the example is corrected. If you want to take a look, imagine this Defrost yourself and make a margarita! newsletter with a black background instead of the #FC3 yellow.
http://reigntrading.com/newsletter/retail/2011_April7/final.html
It looked more like an invitation to a wake than a party! The yellow background rendered black on Internet Explorer (Win 7) until I changed the automatically inserted #FC3 to #FFCC33. I don't read email on a PC, but thankfully Mac users are used to testing on Windows browsers.....

Problem solved.
I did a complete uninstall of CS5, then an uninstall of the Widget Browser, then an uninstall of CS5.5.
Re-installed everything, and now I have the newest Widget Browser working fine (Version 2.0 Build 230).
Thanks!

Great work, James. Always enjoy your teaching...

How can I install Dreamweaver CS5.5 using my serial number? I only see the trial download for CS6.

My company bought CS5.5 Creative Suite, and one of my coworkers used our license for Dreamweaver on his computer. Now he has left the company, and I would like to install the license on my computer so I can use it from my station.
When we installed the software on his computer, we simply downloaded the trial version and then entered our serial number. However, now I can only find the download for CS6, and putting my serial number in there for CS5.5 does not magically download that version for me, unfortunately.
Does anyone know how I can install the license on my computer? I thought it would be allowed to have it on two computers, just only one computer would be able to access the software at a time. I just need to figure out how to install it...

I talked to Adobe staff, and apparently I needed to use the Adobe licensing website, licensing.adobe.com. I'll need to talk to my IT department, who bought the software, to get the account information for the site, but I'm on the way to success!

After Effects CS5.5 - Using *OLD* stabilizer?

Hello all. We recently moved up to the new after effects at work, and as much as I love the new warp stabilizer, I want to use the old version for a particular shot (with the position and rotation track points). The reason being is that I want to stabilize the shot around a particular point in the video (around somebody's eye) rather than letting the warp stabilizer work on the shot as a whole. Obviously whenver I click on stabilize motion, the warp stabilizer opens and begins to work the shot. Has the old stabilizer feature been completely removed in favoure of this new verison, or is it just hidden somewhere?

This page in AE help covers it. There may be more info there that would be useful as well.

Widget Browser in Dreamweaver CS3

can you use the widget browser in Dreamweaver CS3?

Hallo Uta,
das wird schwierig, denn Adobe unterstützt diese Formen nicht mehr. Ausserdem sind die meisten dieser widget mit veralteter Spry-Technik erstellt, was - ich zitiere: oft zu schlechten Ergebnissen bei neueren Geräten führt. Daher wäre es besser Du suchst eine moderne jQuery-Plugin-Galerie, Google will be your friend. Hier nur eine kleine Auswahl brauchbarer Links:
http://www.malsup.com/jquery/cycle/, http://www.dwuser.com/easyrotator/ usw. oder per java

Good luck!

Not working for me.
I've also reinstalled Dreamweaver from scratch but still get the same error
Any other ideas?

Are we talking about the same product here?
I assume so, you are the only one that can be certain. I supplied a link to the supplier as in Comments Inserter Widget for Facebook™ so that you can verify same.
I bought it through Adobe as a Dreamweaver add-on and so I would expect there to be some means of delivery offered so that I can integrate it with Dreamweaver.
You purchased it from the supplier after having seen it on the page that Adobe has offered as a market place for the addons. Adobe has even supplied a link to contact the supplier Contact Us / Support

Spry Accordion and jQuery UI Accordion for Widget Browser

I have Dreamweaver CS5 and used the spry accordion for a left menu. I then used the widget browser and added jQuery UI accordion. But there appears to be a conflict in that the spry accordion is not displaying the white font on hover, instead using the gray font from the jQuery UI accordion.
This may be a duplicate post, I asked this question on another section of this site, if so, I do apologize. Any help is greatly appreciated.
The page sample is
http://www.sbcvote.us/registrar/2006_form460.htm
Thanks to all,

In SpryAccordion.css you are telling the Spry Accordion to do exactly that.
Have a look at lines 97 and 100 where the colour is set to #555555

Widget Browser Does Not Work

I have the Adobe CC Suite and Dreamweaver CS5.5 and everything is included, however whenever I'm making a webpage and I'm trying to use the widget browser it does not work. I have tried re-installing Dreamweaver and the wideget browser and it does not work, I am signed into Adobe Exchange and everything. I looked at all the other forums about this and none of thos solutions worked out for me. I also could not find the Widget Browser forum so I posted it here because they are intergrated!
And help would be great!
Thanks!

You don't need a widget for this. HTML5 <video> is a web standard supported by all modern browsers/devices. Simply copy & paste the following code into a new, blank document. Change sample videos to your own.
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">

Widget Browser video

Hey folks,
This morning I posted about the new Spry UI and the Widget Browser.
If you want more info on the Widget Browser, there is a good video here:

Thanks,

I have e-mailed kin with a simular request, a complete Spry 1.7 zip file would be nice.
If i remember correctly there was also a small edit in a HTML dataset.. but i'm not 100% sure.
As the version numbers do not match up and the change log doesn't mention it..
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/ChangeLog.html
But as you see, it is available on the "preview" section of the site..
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/includes/SpryHTMLDataSet.js
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/preview/SpryHTMLDataSet.js
As for complete overview of all the new Spry 1.7 files I have manually searched the whole
site and WidgetBrowser platform for files so i can include them in my latest version of the
config.spry-it.com configurator.
So instead of searching the whole site you can just fetch them out of my github repo:
http://github.com/3rd-Eden/Spry-Configurator/tree/master/js/1.7/
As for the broken links, I have no clue. Seems like Spry is getting less and less priority
by Adobe as there aren't any session on Adobe Spry on MAX 2010 either ( where the last 2 years there was ).

Adobe widget browser vs extension manager

downloaded the widget browser and a widget, but I doesn't show up in DWCS4 under "insert" or in the common tab. There is a "web widget" on my insert drop down menu, but it doesn't contain what was I downloaded in adobe widget browswer. I've never done this before and am relatively new to DW. whta am I doing wrong?

Moved from the Spry Framework for Ajax forums to the Widget Browser forums.

The Widget Browser "insert menu" can only be seen in Dreamweaver CS5. If you want to use the Widget Browser under CS4 you need to "export" your widgets from the Widget Browser and than manually edit with Dreamweaver.

Return to Widget Browser for editing a customized Menu Bar?

How to edit a Spry Menu 2.0 _after_ customizing with the Adobe Widget Browser and inserting the menu and further structural customizing via DW CS5?
Yes, the new Browser and the new Menu 2.0 are a large step forward - thanks! But no resources (searched high and low ...) show how to return to the Widget Browser, and all its wonderful configuration tools, once a menu is inserted.
The Widget Browser apparently does not allow setting up correct button labels, levels, etc.; instead the Widget Browser is where all the 'style' configuration is done. So, we use the Widget Browser to configure / style a Spry Menu 2.0 and then insert it into a page with DW CS5. Of course, then the menu has to get the correct button labels, levels, etc. So further structural customization, in DW.
Now, we decide we want to try out some alternative styling, to compare and contrast options. Of course, that means we want to return to the Widget Browser again and use it. That CSS is hard in a widget such as this, and the whole point of the Widget Browser is to make that styling accessible.
How to do that, to return to the Widget Browser - and at the same time not lose all the structural customization done in DW?
What are we missing? Your help is most greatly appreciated. David Allen

Yes, of course! Add an ID to each main menu bar item (customize...) and in the CSS, make descendant selectors that include the ID and indicate the background color for that section.
For this set of menu items:
<li id="food"><a class="MenuBarItemSubmenu" href="#">Food</a>
    <ul>
      <li><a href="#">Item 1.1</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">Item 1.2</a></li>
      <li><a href="#">Item 1.3</a></li>
    </ul>
</li>
these selectors:
ul.MenuBarHorizontal li#food a.MenuBarItemHover,
ul.MenuBarHorizontal li#food a.MenuBarItemSubmenuHover,
ul.MenuBarHorizontal li#food a.MenuBarSubmenuVisible
    background-color: green;
will add the background-color 'green' to all hovered menu list items (and submenu list items) of the list item with the id="food".
If you want yet another color for the submenus, do it this way:
ul.MenuBarHorizontal li#food a.MenuBarItemHover
    background-color: green;
and
ul.MenuBarHorizontal li#food a.MenuBarItemSubmenuHover,
ul.MenuBarHorizontal li#food a.MenuBarSubmenuVisible
    background-color: lightgreen;
this latter will catch all the submenus's hover background-color.
