Dreamweaver CS5, cant edit dependent files

Its been a couple of months since I made any changes to my site in Dreamweaver. I use a template for my web pages. I made some changes to my template file, I made some changes to my home page, which neccessitated changes to a couple of style rules in myh main *.css file. When I click on a rule, i get a message stating, "Unable to open example.com/style.css because it could not be found on your hard disk. Download the file..." However, all of my dependent files, *.css etc, are in fact on my hard drive, and in fact there is no difference when compared to the corresponding remote files. Im sure I just have solme setting wrong. But I havent a clue what I need to do to be able to start editing my site .css file again. I have gone back and forth between showing myh local files and the remote files in the files panel, and there is no change.
Please someone help.

@MurraySummers, yes the dependent files are located in the root directory of my site on my hard drive, right along with all the .html pages I have created and am able to update btw. I can add content to the individual .html pages, but all of my dependent files, not just the .css files, but the java script files too, I would be unable to make changes to those, if I had actually wanted to which i dont.
Another piece of information if it helps, if i click on any of the dependent file buttons which are located on the bar next to the source code button to show the individual file content, a yellow bar beneath the address bar appears with the following: sample.css is a remote file and cannot be edited.
I only have the one site. Interestingly, I tried something that may or may not give someone an idea of my problem. I have a couple of copies of this site for back up in my dreamweaver folder. I opened up an older copy of the index file from one of those, and i do NOT have the same problems. I CAN open up an individual rule, and of course save a change to it if I wanted. Now I couild use one of those older copies, but I wouldnt know where to begin to make all the changes to all the pages to get me back up to current content.

Dreamweaver CS5 wont loop .swf file???

Hi there,
I am having a problem where i am trying to get a swf file to loop. I read on another thread that there is a bug in dreamweaver and although it automatically selects the loop button in the property inspector it does not add the code. But when i correct the code it still doesn't work! here is the code i am using:
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="550" height="400" id="FlashID" title="openingsequence">
    <param name="movie" value="1.swf" />
    <param name="quality" value="high" />
    <param name="wmode" value="opaque" />
    <param name="swfversion" value="6.0.65.0" />
    
    <param name="expressinstall" value="Scripts/expressInstall.swf" />
    <param name="LOOP" value="true" />
    
    
    <object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="1.swf" width="550" height="400">
      
      <param name="quality" value="high" />
      <param name="wmode" value="opaque" />
      <param name="swfversion" value="6.0.65.0" />
      <param name="expressinstall" value="Scripts/expressInstall.swf" />
      <param name="LOOP" value="true" />

      </div>

I have also read that it could be because the code for the .fla file has a <stop/> value at the end instead of the code to make it loop. I made the swf file from an mp4 in flash so ive never had the original .fla file. I have tried using a swf decompiler to get the fla file but it doesnt seem to have worked but this is a side issue...
I really just want to figure out how to get dreamweaver to loop my swf file.
Can someone please help me, ive spent all day trying to solve this!
thanks,
Matt

Hi

.fla file. I have tried using a swf decompiler to get the fla file but

First welcome to the forum.
Unfortunately without being able to edit the stop() function out of the fla file, your swf will not loop.
You could use the html5 video element for your mp4 and if you have the original video file convert it to other formats for use in the html5 video, and then use the swf file as the fall back, this would allow your video to loop in those browsers that support this.
There are also 3rd party players available that will allow the swf to loop without editing but these will only work on windows.

Dreamweaver CS5 Slow to Open File... Enable Related Files

Hello,
I have a page that uses the Fancybox script and it takes Dreamweaver 50 seconds to open this page.
This script requires jQuery, so in the head of my page I have this:
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.4.2.min.js"></script>
If I comment that line out, the page opens immediately. Also, if I disable "Enable Related Files", the page opens immediately... neither option is a good one of course.
It's my guess that dreamweaver is retrieving and parsing the remote jQuery file which is what is slowing things down. How to I stop dreamweaver from going after remote files???
I was hoping setting "Discover Dynacially-Related Files" to "Disabled" would do the trick, but trying that has led me to another problem that I posted in a different topic which is that Dreamweaver won't save the selection for "Discover Dynamically-Related Files". That option always returns to "Manually".
Any ideas how to stop dreamweaver from retrieving remote files?
Thanks!
Peter

Im on a mac with CS5 and I have started getting an issue with one of my sites where it is slow to open the files. I tried following the steps in the article you attached here but I can not find that preference file at /Users/Your User Name/Library/Preferences. In fact, I don't have a library under /users/my name.
I can open files fine on a different site, but for some reason just this one is giving me trouble.

Dreamweaver CS5.5 template PHP file path bug

I have a template that I am using for my website, it is a PHP template and for some reason whenever I have some links within the PHP code blocks that include other .php files. My code is:
<?php
//Code In template
include('../scripts/MySqlConnection.php');
include('../scripts/login.php');
?>
The code is just including some files, but when I update all the pages that use this Template they dont put the right links on them, like so:
<?php
//Code That Appears On Child Page
include('scripts/MySqlConnection.php');
include('../scripts/login.php');
?>
For some reason the first link is correct since this document is in the root of the site instead of in the Templates folder like my template is, but the second "include" statement has the wrong link inside of it. Even if I switch them around its always the very first include statement that is correct and the 2nd is always wrong.
Also the links are all relative to the document and not site root in the "Manage Sites..." dialog.
Is there anyway to fix this? I heard that this was a quirk/bug in Dreamweaver 8 or something but is it still not fixed in this version?
Thanks

Yes I guess that I am gonna have to use one of those solutions, but it still is weird that this is happening within the code though. I found one thread where the solution was to put the include tags into a seperate PHP block like this:
//Template
<?php include('../scripts/MySqlConnection.php'); ?>
<?php include('../scripts/login.php'); ?>
And it actually outputted the correct links on the child page which is really weird but this was from like Dreamweaver 8 or MX or something because the thread was from like 2007 which is weird that they hadn't fixed this bug yet considering its 2012 and Dreamweaver CS5.5 still has the bug.

Cant edit sql files,help!

when I edit a sql file,I can't delete anything ,if there is any configuretion that can block the rights?But It's strange to see that ,I can append any words to the files,anybody can help me ,thanks!

It sounds like your accelerators might be confused and it no longer knows that the Backspace is the delete previous character key (the key mapping seems to get confused ocassionally). Go to Tools > Preferences > Accelerators and select "Delete Previous Char" in the Actions list and see if there is anything in the Accelerators on the right. If not, you can revert to the standard accelerators (which tends to fix the problem) by selecting the "Load Preset ..." button.

Protocol for re- installing Dreamweaver CS5 and reconnecting to files

My web site was working fine till I had malware on my computer and had to clean and re install all programs. I re installed CS3 and then my upgrade to CS5. I went to set up site to reconnect files and now cannot connect to FTP or up load photos for this month. I posed this question 2 days ago and no response and no help. Do I need to take it to Spry Framework where I can get a response?
Web site is www.williamshomesteadranch.com There are 4 pages that are ok and I had to use Filezilla to update them. The other pages will not connect any way to FTP.
I would really appreciate help!

I do have it copied onto an external hard drive and the original is still there. After talking with Adobe today and finding out their tools system is down till Monday, I plan to un install and reinstall and redefine with the original files. They still should have everythin the same. I have never had to re do this in 4 years and did not remember what was supposed to be there. Is there a protocol for reinstalling since I have to do the CS3 first and then the CS5 upgrade?

Jdeveloper cant edit on files correctly

hello guys, i have a problem that when i use an HTML file in my JSF page, Jdeveloper saves that file in "ViewController-context-root/MyHTML.html" how can i reach that file ?? , because when i edit my original html file from the directory the file in the context-root doesn't update as well so it doesn't get updated in the applications,, am using Jdeveloper 12.c thanks in advance saidi .

I tested this using 11.1.1.7.0 (no 12c system available at the moment) and it works for me.
Can you please tell us in detail where your html file resides in the folder structure and what exactly you edit?
Then tell use your seeting of the
<context-param>
    <description>If this parameter is true, there will be an automatic check of the modification date of your JSPs, and saved state will be discarded when JSP's change. It will also automatically check if your skinning css files have changed without you having to restart the server. This makes development easier, but adds overhead. For this reason this parameter should be set to false when your application is deployed.</description>

Dreamweaver CS5's Point to File feature leaves "droppings" on my screen.

There appears to be a graphical glitch when using Point to File:
That green color that looks like rat droppings is the color of my background showing through. Any idea how to fix this, or why it's happening?

I am afraid it's just an issue caused by the confluence of software, hardware, graphics subsystem and cosmic rays.
It's been that way for several releases now - it's worse on some systems than others. Not sure what the gating variables are....
Adobe knows about it.

How does one add a photo gallery to my web site in Dreamweaver CS5 and have the link recognized as a destination file?

How does on add a photo gallery to a web site in Dreamweaver CS5 and have the file folder which contains the photos, recognized as the "go to location" for the link up?

Ok. So Photos1.htm is the main gallery page.
And it looks like you have sub-folders with images in them like these from 2011 and 2010
LLA Picnic 2011/
photos 2010/
