Dreamweaver CS6 for HTML5?

Wow, 27 minutes hold-time to call Adobe for pre-sales support!
I'm a long-time Dreamweaver user currently using CS4. My customers are increasingly asking me to develop websites that will display properly on Androids and iPhones (less often Blackberries).
1. Would a site I create in CS6 as HTML5 automatically display properly on mobile devices? What other things (if any) do I need to do or consider? Anything I should read first?
2. Can anyone recommend a website emulator that will show me what my development sites will look like in every commonly used mobile device so I can rest-assured?
3. How different is developing a site in HTML5 using CS6 from HTML/CSS using CS4? Big learning curve or minor?
4. Can I continue to keep DW8 installed? (I have some older sites in HTML - no CSS that I need this for)
Thanks for reading this.

In truth, on-line simulators are not 100% reliable because touch screens and mobile browsers have their own quirks which you won't see using a PC browser.  If you plan to develop for certain mobile devices, you need to borrow or invest in those devices to test on.
Visit your local Apple Store and check your sites on iTouch/iPhone/iPads.

  • Help with Dreamweaver CS6 for Mac

    I am a long time user of Dreamweaver CS 5.5 for PC and recently purchased an IMac. I have a trial version of Dreamweaver CS6 for Mac and am having difficulty displaying an html file in Live View. I always used "Preview in Browser" in CS 5.5 and need this same feature. I have an active site that I imported into CS6 and the site uses templates. Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks,  Jim

    Your CS6 serial number will be platform specific, if your serial number  is for windows they you may need to contact adobe support and request a platform swap

    This does not work for me i keep getting "an FTP errror occured-  cannot make connection to host" I have tried signing in the way the previous people suggested but to no avail. I have a paid creative cloud subscription. I am in Trinidad and Tobago. I am not sure that is an issue. I also connected succesfully to ftp://ftp.irs.gov using dreamweaver on adobe's the troubleshooting page. I was also successful connecting using cuteftp  but when i connect to my businesscatalyst site...failure. hopefully i have made my plight clear.

  • Dreamweaver CS6 and html5

    Hi there is there a way that when you start Dreamweaver CS6 that in the start up selection when you can select HTML or others can you make a template there for html5?

  • System Failure while running Adobe Dreamweaver CS6 for the first time..Why?

    When i downloaded the adobe dreamweaver cs6 and during installation ... there is no wrong except screen resolution (required = 1280*800 but available = 1330 * 768)
    But when i tried to run the program for the first time, the system had failed.
    Can you help me to know the true cause, please?
    note: i use Windows XP sp1

    CS6 requires a minimum of Windows XP with Service Pack 3. Your vertical resolution also does not meet the minimum requirements.

  • When will you actually updated Dreamweaver CS6 for Windows 8?

    Dreamweaver CS6 in Windows 8 becomes corrupt overtime. Last month I tried to update a PHP file and it crashed. After a few attempts, the program would not reopen. I went through tech support and they removed the .dat files. as suggested (as they could be corrput) and it did not work. I had to reinstall the program. Now the Find and Replace feature does not work and is currently crashing the program. Also, your current online documentation support is all under Vista and older window platdforms,nothing that mentions Windows 8. So as an FYI, They are not the same operating system. As the some of the locations of files within your documentation  etc. are inaccurate. So as far as I can see, your online support and program is not current for Window 8 users.

    Thanks. I don't have any of the operating systems mentioned below though. Whys is Windows 8 not mentioned? Should I follow the instructions for Windows 7?
    Remove existing preferences
    To remove existing preferences, follow the instructions below that are appropriate for your operating system and version of Dreamweaver.
    Mac OS
    Windows 7, Windows Vista

  • Update Dreamweaver CS5 for HTML5

    How do I update Dreamweaver CS5 so I can use HTML5?

    If you update your DW software to the latest release it should include the HTML5 package. http://www.adobe.com/support/dreamweaver/downloads_updaters.html#dwcs51104

  • Site with templates does not open (Was: dreamweaver cs6 for mac)

    I downloaded a site that uses templates and the files do not open properly. I also downloaded a site that does not use templates and all of those files load correctly. What should I do differently for the site using templates?

    Some web browsers will not open a .dwt file (.dwt stands for Dreamweaver Template). You can change the associations for files in your operating system, by right (or [control]-) clicking on the file and choosing "Get Info" from the popup dialog window.
    Then, in the "Get Info" window, choose "Open With" and pick the application you wish associated with the file.
    Also, within Dreamweaver, you can set up what web browsers will preview a file by going to Preferences>Preview in Browser and choosing the browser(s) you want to preview your documents in. You can also pick which browser you wish to have as your primary. That will usually be [option]-[F12] to preview.
    If you are working with Macintosh, you ought to download and install the Big Three browsers: Safari (which came with your Mac) Firefox and Google's Chrome.
    Microsoft has chosen to quit producing Internet Exploiter for Macintosh, despite the fact that lots of people develop websites on Macintosh (and they whine when their browser is ill-supported). I did find that they're offering something for Macintosh, but it's virtualization and I have not tested it.
    You need to test for IE7, 8. 9 and assume 10 is going to be compliant (though it's probably not). The Microsoft solution may not let you test all three.
    Since Apple, Mozilla and Google provide automatic updates, you don't need to support old versions of those three browsers. And Nancy O. tends to suggest that ending support for older versions of Microsoft's browser is worth not doing. I, personally have one website that I have decided to not support versions below Internet Exploder 9 and another that uses the same feature is under development.

  • Dreamweaver CS6 for Mac: Is there a way to display the file path in Design View?

    Under Windows, DW's Design View shows you the path to the current file, right next to the document tab. I noticed the Mac version omits this handy feature. For those of us who work with lots of similarly named files distinguished only by folders, being able to quickly see what folder we're in is crucial. (see image below -- that's where Windows shows you the path, but is blank in Mac)
    Is there something I'm missing, or some way to get that functioning? I know that I can see the path if I switch to Live View, but that is kludgy and breaks my workflow.

    I use CoderPlus workspace & tabbed panels.  For me, the file url is on the far right side. See screenshot. 
    If you click the "Page Icon" in upper right corner to tile, the URL shows on the left side.

  • Very strange JavaScript bug in Dreamweaver CS6 for Mac

    I'm not sure if this works only on a Mac, but it definitely works on any documents containing JavaScript that I create.
    Type these characters exactly on a new line or at the end of any line of JS code in Dreamweaver. Works in a <script> tag in an HTML file and in a .js file. Copy/paste also works if you don't feel like typing, but watching the transformation is kinda worth the work.
    // Boolean to prevent multiple instances of keystrokes from being recorded
    Note what happens to the first / and the end of 'instances'... If you change any of these characters, even add a space at the end, it doesn't work. It has to be that phrase exactly.
    Is this just happening to me?

    Hmmm.. I'm using 5808. It's nothing serious, just kind of comical.
    Here's a screenshot of what happens on my machine. I'll update my Dreamweaver and see if it fixes it.

  • I own a license for Dreamweaver CS6 for Windows.  I am thinking about buying a MAC.  How can I convert my license to work on a MAC?

    Is there a software update I can purchase to convert my license to work on a MAC? How much is it?  Or are there any other options?

    Depending on what Adobe considers "current software" you may or may not be able to perform a Platform Swap...
    Order product | Platform, language swap
    Since they do currently sell both the PC and Mac version of the CS6 Suite, I would guess they can do the swap. If not, moving to a CC Subscription does allow you to have the software installed on either or both platforms without issue.

  • Dreamweaver CS6:  Installation disk won't allow a change in the location of the installation folder

    First, I hope the moderators will cut me some slack for making a duplicate posting.  The comments below were posted in the "Creative Suites" community.  I just noticed that there is a "Dreamweaver" community.  I feel the issues I've raised below are more relevant to the latter.
    I recently purchased a Dreamweaver CS6 installation disk and have a valid registration code.  The Adobe website has recognized this code as valid.
    I started-out  by having the installation disk install into a folder on a high capacity (0.5 tb) external drive.  This was done while my Gateway PC was still working properly.  I did a duplicate installation onto this hard drive (into a separate folder) to accommodate any work I wanted to do on a Dell laptop I also own.  For a few days things seemed to work ok on both computers.  Then the cursor on my Gateway stopped moving.  Several changes of mice failed to resolve the problem.  I've written-off my Gateway as "dead."  However the Dreamweaver CS6 installation MAY (I can't remember) be on a "local" folder on my Gateway and I am concerned I will have trouble installing Dreamweaver on the replacement I've purchased.  I understand one is limited to 2 installations.  If needed, can I purchase a license for a third installation?  And what might that cost?
    After turning-off my Gateway I then went to my Dell laptop to try to work with Dreamweaver there.  I felt it was best to install on a "local" folder so I deleted all the Dreamweaver software from the folders on my external drive.  Unfortunately the installation disk is still "pointed" to the folders on my external drive.  To make matters worse I am now getting an error message which indicates I need to install into a folder on the "local" drive of my Dell laptop.  But the installation disk won't allow me to change the path.  On the installation disk the "path" to my external drive is faded-out and it will not allow me to delete and type-in a new path.
    I've spent what, to me, are big bucks on this Dreamweaver disk.  It's the only website building software that seemed to get consistently good reviews. However, for me, Dreamweaver is becoming a nightmare!  I'm very much of a novice at website building.  I don't know how, in the world, I will be able to a)  Create something, and then  b)  Get Dreamweaver to put it onto what is now a blank webpage.  I recently got "Dreamweaver CS6 The Missing Manual" and "Dreamweaver CS6 For Dummies."  So far I haven't been able to find anything, in either of these two books, which addresses the issues I've raised here.
    Somebody--please help!!
    Don't know if my screen name will show up.  So my name is JACK, near Old Faithfull.

    Have you tried calling Adobe Customer service? They can deactivate one of your installations so that you can install and run on a new system. And perhaps they can help with your other problem, or send you to a tech support rep who can.
    With regard to your use of DW, I'd strongly suggest that you take advantage of this downtime by learning as much HTML and CSS as you can absorb. Multiple sittings would be helpful. The more you know about those two, the easier DW will be for you when you eventually get it going.
