Dreamweaver Layer issues

Here's the story:
I have a layer for a pop-up - but I have actions applied to
it, making it move onto the page, then back off. I have tried all
of the ways described, but I cannot get that pop-up to be centered
horizontally on the page. Can someone advise?
THANKS!!!

Post a link to the page, please.

How to SHOW/HIDE a dreamweaver layer from a flash button?

I have almost 2 weeks tying to find a solution for this. Please help...
-How can you SHOW/HIDE an thml-dreamweaver layer from a flash movie button.
My html layer name is LAYER1, and my FlashMC botton name is FLBOT1
Now, what is the actionscript that im suppouse to place in the flash button?
Please respond, Thanks

Adobe removed Flash Text and Flash Buttons from CS4 for accessibility reasons. Flash buttons aren't web friendly. And if you use this approach, you'll need to work in Flash because DW doesn't write Action Script for you.
That said, you could do something similar without Flash.

MySQL to DreamWeaver connectivity issue specific to Stored Procedures

Hi there,
I have a MySQL to DreamWeaver connectivity issue specific to
Stored Procedures.
The driver I am currently using is
mysql-connector-java-5.1.5-bin.jar.
Although basic row and column tree is exposed in Adobe
DreamWeaver 8's Application Pallette, my stored procedure is not.
My serverside technology is Coldfusion(MX7).
My environment is:
Server: MS Windows 2003 (Small Business Server) using IIS.
Client: MS Window XP-Pro.
According to the driver documentation
mysql-connector-java-5.1.5-bin.jar appears to be capable of
handling stored procedures:
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/connector-j-useagenotes-basic.html#connector-j-exam ples-stored-procedure
I could be wrong but the evidence suggests that support for
this feature is not available from Adobe.
I have already invested a certain amount of time in this
sub-project. I would, therefore, be most grateful to anyone who can
provide me with a solution to this.

OK.
Figured out the 'stored proceedure' problem. I had two 'Connection' folders, one of which was a sub-folder, that pointed to the same database but with slightly different configuration details. Removed the 'wrong' folder and all seems to be sorted.

DW8 Layer Issue?

I'm having an issue with layers in Dreamweaver 8? The layout
of my site is in the "center" position. When I position a layer in
the layout of the site, the layers do not correspond to those
positions when I preview in a browser. What gives?

Sounds as though you are using absolutely positioned layers
which have a
top and a left position.
That is where they will stay regardless of where you want
them to appear.
If you want them to appear central in the browser window then
you will
have to place them in a realtively positioned <div>
container
<div id="container">
Paste all of your layers within this container.
</div>
Cut this piece of code and paste it into your pages code
directly before
the closing </head> tag which can be located near the
top of your page
whilst in code view.
<style type="text/css">
#container {
width: 750px;
margin: 0 auto;
</style>

Dreamweaver 8 issues with Photoshop CS (8)?

I hate to start a new thread about this, but I can't find
anything anywhere to help me out.
So, I have a website that displays the pages of a magazine
and people can flip through using arrow buttons, etc. I use one of
Photoshop CS's Web Gallery formats that I tweaked out. The only
thing I change each time is I open up the SubPage file from
Photoshop's presets folder into Dreamweaver MX 2004 and I change
the file name of what I want the "Contents" button to link to.
Basically - open - change number - save. That's it. I run the Web
Gallery script in Photoshop and it does the rest.
Anyway, I just upgraded to Dreamweaver 8 and now the end
result is all screwy. Nothing is linked right and things have
shifted all over the place. If I don't touch the original file and
run it, everything works perfect (obviously the contents link
doesn't match though).
Bottom line, once I open the file and save it in Dreamweaver
8, that is when my problems occur. Is there something I'm missing
between MX 2004 and 8 that's causing these issues?
Any and all info is greatly appreciated.

What you are seeing is the recovery file, not the original, if it opens as untitled.
The report that Bob clipped was a hang, not a crash. Does ID actually close on its own? If so, find the crash report and post it on pastebin.com. If not, see Adobe Forums: InDesign CS5.5 Not Responding for instructions on how to generate the hang report and force a crash to get a report, and post them both, then put links here.

Dreamweaver 8 - Issue saving to Mac partion from Windows

I just bought an Intel Mac, which I'm running Windows on
using Bootcamp (as all my Adobe software is for Windows). I use a
software called MacDrive, so when I'm working in Windows I can
access files saved on the Mac partion. But I'm having issues saving
files in Dreamweaver to the Mac partion. Everything appears to save
correctly, until I go back and open the file, and see that the end
of the file will have leftover data in it from the previous save.
For example, if I remove two lines of code from an HTML file, then
when I re-open the file, I'll have a duplicate set of
</body></html> tags leftover from the previous version
of the file. I do not have this problem when editing and saving
files to the Mac partion using Notepad or any other Windows
program, only Dreamweaver.
Has anyone here had a similar problem? If so, were you able
to fix it somehow? If not, would you be willing to help me contact
Adobe to get this issue solved? Thank you for your time.

Don't want to hijack the thread, but since you mentioned a
cross-grade I
have a question. I will be making the move from being PC
based to MAC based
in the next 6 months. Since I will be replacing my aging dell
laptop with
an imac pro, my next desktop purchase will be mac as well
With the current CS3 I will just be running in parralels, but
I asked about
when cs4 comes around if I could just upgrade to the mac
version. I was
told by a cs rep that this is not possible I would have to
purchase a fresh
install. Is this not correct, is there a way around it?
thanks,
randy

Dreamweaver Namespace issue on my web server

I am hosting my site on GoDaddy.com. I have created a site
using Dreamweaver CS3 and SQL2005. Everything works great on my
local machine, but when I upload it to the remote web server, the
aspx pages do not work. GoDaddy support says it is due to the
second line in every one of my aspx pages, specifically the
namespace attribute. From what I've read, this is automatically put
into every page created by Dreamweaver that contains an asp/asp.net
control. GoDaddy's response is to remove this line from my page and
everything will work great, which obviously it will not. I really
would not like to have to rebuild 32 + aspx pages after already
developing them in Dreamweaver. The actual line they say is causing
the problem is below:
<%@ Register TagPrefix="MM" Namespace="DreamweaverCtrls"
Assembly="DreamweaverCtrls,version=1.0.0.0,publicKeyToken=836f606ede05d46a,culture=neutra l"
%>
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to get around this
issue?

Hi Brian,
maybe it's your browser that's hiding the error message, if
using MSIE then
please disable the "Show friendly HTTP error messages" option
in Internet
Options.
If that doesn't reveal the error message, try editing the
web.config that
dreamweaver generated for you with the following settings,
(add any missing
settings, and leave the connectionstrings that dreamweaver
has setup intact)
<configuration>
<system.web>
<compilation debug="true"/>
<customErrors mode="Off"/>
<trace
enabled="true"
traceMode="SortByCategory"
requestLimit="10"
pageOutput="false"
localOnly="false"
/>
</system.web>
</configuration>
Debug Compilation should give more insight inrto compilation
errors, which
can allso be done at the page level via<% @ Page
debug=true" %>
Custom Errors Off will disable any error pages that may be
shown in case of
an error, seting it to "emoteOnly" will only thow these page
to external
visitors, but since you are not working on the server that
actually makes
little sense.
The trace setting should enable a HTTP Handler that allows
you to view trace
information from /trace.axd in the root of your website,
enabling pageOutput
will inject the tracing information into every page, which
can allso be done
at the page level via <% @ Page trace=true" %>
There settings do have a performance impact because they are
enabled for
every request in the application, once you've got the errors
out disable
them at the application level and enable them per-page.
Hope this helps
Joris

Dreamweaver 8 issue.

I have Dreamweaver 8 running on Windows Vista (yes its an old version of DW). The interface / menus in DW look fine but when I open any html file the font/code is faint and blurry. I thought it might be a corrupted font issue but all other programs on my PC work / look fine. Anyone know how to fix? I did try to re-install it.

Don't want to hijack the thread, but since you mentioned a
cross-grade I
have a question. I will be making the move from being PC
based to MAC based
in the next 6 months. Since I will be replacing my aging dell
laptop with

Dreamweaver preview issue with Safari 4.0

Description of Issue :
Recently I have upgraded my Safari browser to version to 4.0, after this was completed when I'm in dreamweaver design view I cannot preview my work in Safari as it comes up with a blank web page and opens the folder that the template is stored in, can you provide any solution to why this is hapening as it never happened before I upgraded, also I can view the webpage
in Firefox so I know its nothing to do with my Mac?

Does anyone know where you can go besides here to post to ask about this problem. I called Adobe tech support and they said they don't support Safari, so they would not help. They were nice though.
Although this thread has a high viewership compared to others, I wish more people would post, if they are having a problem so we can get some traction, and maybe Adobe will find this and we can get an answer or a work around.
I'm running Safari 4.0.2. I have run DiskWarrior and done a complete systems check and update, including correcting permissions trying to figure this out. Hopefully someone has an answer. I have also thrown away my Preference file.
I recently had to delete my Acrobat plug-in for Safari because I could not load PDF's in the browser. This was on the advice of an Adobe tech support guy. (he said you didn't need the plug-in anymore with Safari 4). Maybe this has something to do with it?

Dreamweaver Template Issues

Heyyy,
I have been trying to set up some Dreamweaver Template files.
I have defined an editable region for the content to go in, I then create a new file using this template and start editing the page. However when I put in too much content, the editibale region doesnt flow or stretch its height to match the content. (I have attached a screenshot of DW to show that the design looks fine, but you can tell that the content overflows the editable region guidelines)
This isn't a problem in any browser apart from IE7 (which I have attached a screenshot of to show you what is happening) where the content doesn't display properly.
I was just wondering if anyone might know how to correct this issue? If I need to provide any more details, code or screenshots it would be great if you could let me know. And thanks for any help offered!
Cheers,
Ezra

Ezra-The best thing you can do to get help on this is put that page out there on a web server and provide a link. That will give the very helpful people here all the resouces needed to view what might be causing your problem. If you don't do this, it's just a guessing game that really nobody wants to play.

Dreamweaver FTP Issues

I've had quite a bit of trouble with my Dreamweaver the last few days. It has issues connecting to my remote server, which is hosted by InMotion hosting. It keeps timing out constantly, but then every once in a while it will work just fine. I don't understand it. I tried using Filezilla and it works just fine, connects perfect. So I contacted my hosting company to see if they might have any idea and they just said everything was good on their end and that I should contact Adobe. They did however say that, after looking at the FTP error log, my dreamweaver was trying to contact unknown directories? He specifically stated that it was trying to upload to a folder called '_mm' in my public_html folder. I cannot find much information on this and I've tried playing with some settings, including passive FTP. I'm using Dreameaver CS5 Version 11.0 Build 4909.

There is an article about the "mm" folder - http://help.adobe.com/en_US/dreamweaver/cs/extend/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d117f53d9310-7ff a.html . So is the problem that DW cannot create the folder on the remote end? Or cannot write to the folder? Uploading to any folder in your public_html folder should not be an issue unless there is a write/permissions issue on the server.

Z-Index / layer issues with new YouTube widget!

Hi!
I am experiencing a problem with the new social media "youtube" widget. I currently have two layers in my projects. It is a parallax scrolling project where the menu initially scrolls and then sticks to the top. When continuing to scroll, the embedded YouTube video widget does not scroll underneath the menu as it should but scrolls over the menu. This is strange, as the YouTube widget was placed on level 1 and the menu is on level 2. Shouldn’t the menu then always be on top? Could it be that that the new widget doesn’t set z-index correctly?
You can view my web draft (and look at the code) here: http://www.firstlight.at
Any help greatly appreciated!

I was able to fix the problem and I believe this to definetly be a bug in Muse....
In order to prevent iframed Youtube widgets to swim on top of all other Divs, I had to change the code, adding wmode="transparent" and wmode="Opaque" to the iframe class. This only works if you change all the other parameters behind the src tag from "&" to "&amp".
Here was the original code generated by Muse. This couldnt prevent my "2nd Layer" to slip below "Layer 1".
<iframe class="actAsDiv" width="487" height="275" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/X6GBk42nLOE?&;autoplay=0&;loop=0&;showinf o=0&;theme=dark&;color=red&;controls=0&;modestbranding=1&;start=0&;fs= 0&;iv_load_policy=3" frameborder="0"></iframe>
Making the following changes to the code, forced the Youtube widget below all other divs again (I have hightlighted all changes to bold, so you can see the needed changes easily):
<iframe class="actAsDiv" width="487" height="275" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/X6GBk42nLOE&am?wmode=transparent&autoplay=0&loop=0&showinfo=0&theme=dark&color=red&controls=0&modestbranding=1&start=0&fs=0&iv_load_policy=3" frameborder="0" wmode="Opaque"></iframe>
Make sure, that you dont miss the following change: You need to change all "&" adders to "&amp" otherwise this procedure will not work!
After the new release, I am sure the Adobe team is working hard to bug bust the latest release. But I do hope this one will be busted soon, otherwise users using the youtube widget will have to recode Muse output everytime we make a change and this is exactly what Muse is striving to prevent (; Afterall, in Dreamweaver you could hardcode the change and it would stick!
Hope this will be of help to someone!

Dreamweaver layout issue

Hello, I have an issue on the layout of my website ( récupération de données ). As I work on Dreamweaver, I think the problem comes from there. Need help !

That absolutely positioned menu is never going to work. Absolute positioning removes content from the normal document flow. So your menu is out in right field and disconnected from the rest of your layout. A better approach would be to put the menu in an unordered list like this:
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>List Menu</title>
<style>
body { background: aqua }
#header {
border: 1px solid silver;
width: 1000px;
margin: 0 auto;
overflow: hidden; /**float containment**/
.logo img {

.menu ul { list-style: none; }
.menu li a {

text-align: center;
margin: 0;

Adjustment Layer Issue in CS3 & new Mac Pro

anyone having the following issue:
when adding an adjustment layer to a file I get a spinning beachball for 10-30 seconds before the adjustment layer is applied. Strange behaviour never seen before. New Mac Pro Dual Quad 3.2ghz, 10gb Ram, Nvidia Gefore 8800GT.
S.O.S.
Thx!

How did you update to 10.5.3?
Via Software Update; or from the COMBO?
[I notice that MacFixit are also now strenuously urging people to stay away from SU and to use the COMBO instead.
[Pace Stockholm!]
And did you run DiskWarrior and Repair permissions both before and after you installed the new software?
