Dreamweaver Site-wide Cross Reference

I'm sort of new to Dreamweaver and I use CS4.
I was asked to take over an existing web site and to maintain it. It would be very helpful if I could produce a cross-reference to see where each class, for example, was used within the web site.
I would alos really like to get something that would produce a site map. I understand taht was available in the older version. Is there another alternative out there?
Thanks,

The site I am looking at is a mess by any standards and I might have to start over, but I was asked to make some changes and not to rewrite. IN fact, I would loive to be able to create a site map becuase I think about 10 of the files in the site are active.
The reason want an Xref is that I think it would be helpful to know where a class was used within the site as opposed to being surprised by the changes it makes. Since no Xref seems to be available, maybe I need to learn even more about CSS & Dreamweaver than I thought.
I will check out XENU and I appreciate your help. Thanks.

Once defined, you will always work from the Dreamweaver Files panel to ensure the program can manage your files correctly.

Unfortuantely sourcelabs.com does not give the option of testing IE11 on windows 7 so I cant be of much help here.
One thing you might want to try is floating the <li> tags - add the below to your css stylesheet.
li {
float: left;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
list-style: none;
width: 20%;
David Powers is pretty good when it comes to his tutorials and they are usually thoroughly tested. As I say in a simulated windows 8.1 envrionment in IE11 the nav looks fine BUT of course its better to test in the real thing.
EDITED: Try the below combination of css if you have no success finding a solution:
#mainnav ul {
    list-style-type: none;
    margin: 0px;
    padding: 0px;
#mainnav li {
    list-style-type: none;
    margin: 0px;
    padding: 0px;
    float: left;
    width: 20%;
     background-color: #4D4D4D;
     text-align: center;
#mainnav a {
    display: block;
    width: 100%;
    background-color: #4D4D4D;
    color: #FFFFFF;
    text-transform: uppercase;
    padding-top: 6px;

DreamWeaver CS3 - How to excute a site wide change...

I am using Dreamweaver (DW) CS3. I have updated a few pages
which had the ending of .HTM. After the modification to the pages
the ending of the file names were changed to .ASP. The pages work
well in their test environment.
OK, so the pages were known by the site with the file name
extension of .HTM
The file name extension is now .ASP
How do I update very page in the site so that they no longer
look for the old file name but the
new name, which ends with the extension of .ASP?
Thanks!
Happy New Year!

I would also suggest that you never rename your files like
this outside of
DW. By renaming them in DW's File panel, you allow DW to
manage the links
automatically.

Cross reference not working properly in epub exported from IDCC

Hi,
I'm not sure whether this is a known issue within ID so forgive me for bringing it up if it is. I couldn't find any satisfying answer on this forum, hence my question.
It seems that cross references between the xhtml-docs created from split ID document during the epub export don't work properly. They link to the text anchors specified as relative links. My editor uses software compliant to many e-reader platforms that removes all the relative links between the xhtml files within any epub and replaces them by absolute hyperlinks (http://). The result is... broken links all over. Their specification asks for the the anchor entires in the content.opf file instead of the relative links. Is there a way to work it out in InDesign and have the content.opf file contain the navigation to the anchors in xhtml files within the epub?
I'm working with IDCC 9.1 btw. Would appreciate any help...
Kind regards, Kasia

Hi,
   Not sure exactly where you gone wrong.
   If you want the running sum to start from beginning for each YEAR and each LINES. Use this
           =RunningSum([Sales revenue]; ([Year];[Lines]))   => Need Square brackets around Year and Lines. This forum site doesn't display square bracket correctly
   If you want the running sum to start from beginning only for each LINES (regardless of YEARS). Use this
            =RunningSum([Sales revenue]; ([Lines]))
   Not sure why you added ROW in your functions. Hope this help. Works for me, just tested using my efashion with the same structure are yours.
Regards,
Ken

Printed document page number cross-references

Is it possible to export webhelp to Printed Document - MS
Word with page numbers taking the place of hyperlinks? Must the
page numbers be added after the printed document is created?
If so, can the InsertPagRefs macro insert page numbers across
a multifile document?
I anticipate exporting to printed documents consisting of
multiple files with pictures inserted by reference. I need
cross-reference page numbers that look like internal page
references.
If a master document is not recommended for a large manual,
how is a large manual to be handled? I intend not to use Word as a
base for single sourcing and to create RD fields and files for an
*input* document. I intend to use webhelp as the single source so I
can use RH 7 conditional text and mutiple TOCs to produce multiple
documents and document formats!

No but you can easily add them afterwards. There is a macro
on my site that does exactly that.
http://www.grainge.org/pages/authoring/word/word_macros.htm
Your refer to a "large manual". How big is "large"?

Cross-references to hyperlink destinations (text anchors) results in file slowdown

I'm using text anchors for the first time in a 12-file book (~280 pages) for the table/figure list in the front matter. There are maybe 100 or so total cross-references in the front matter in tables (where one column is the text of the figure title and one column the page number).
About halfway through the process of adding the cross references, things got reallllly slow, and only in that one document. So slow that reformatting became almost impossible, because of the delays.
So I went through many of the usual troubleshooting steps, just in case. Trashed preferences, trashed the style, etc. I exported the file to IDML and created a new file from that. It helped, but I can tell that it's still not quite so snappy.
My question, then, is if this is to be expected with what may be a large number of hyperlinks/text anchors? All the other files in the book act fine, so it's not an InDesign-wide slowdown. Are there any best practices when it comes to using hyperlink destinations?
As an amusing aside, before I tried the troubleshooting steps I had a clever idea--to insert the cross references into a new, blank document and then paste them into the frontmatter file. Consist and ugly crashes to desktop resulted.

Peter,
Thanks for your reply. Yes, the TOC could do this and would be an easier approach. But I hadn't anticipated using it and so didn't have my ducks in a row as far as having the styles consistent for chapter titles, figures and tables. Next time I will do so. I can guess that as a TOC doesn't generate live links, it shouldn't have a performance impact like dozens of cross-references do.
Yes, the TOC is inert except when it's being generated.
Regardless of how "creatively chaotic" or "chaotically creative" your chapter, table, and figure title paragraph styles are, as long as all chapter titles are tagged with style names that are not used for figures or tables, and similarly figures and tables are not tagged with styles used for the "other," you can still generate a usable TOC. The idea is to capture all the paragraph styles for each category, and display each category's captured paragraphs as uniform TOC entries - i. e., all chapter title entries are the same, all table title entries are the same, and all table title entries are the same. If you don't want the categories intermixed, create a separate TOC for each category, place each TOC separately, unthreaded to other document frames.
If you'd like to try a few things to see if it's possible to quickly remake the TOC and regain a responsive working document, before doing anything else, save the whole project to a secure place, and work on the copy. Then:
* Move the Text tool insertion point to each cross-reference's destination by selecting the reference in the cross-reference panel and clicking the right-pointing arrow on the panel status bar; then verify that the paragraph is tagged with an appropriate style that doesn't belong to the other category of TOC items.
* After all the TOC-to-be items are identified and verified that they're tagged correctly, delete the text frame(s) that contain the TOC that's created with cross-references. All the references will break, of course. You've got the secure original project somewhere, right?
* Set up the TOC roughly; just pick the paragraph styles for each category - chapter, figure, table, and generate a TOC for the book. Drag to place the TOC on a clean new page, and DO NOT THREAD THE TOC TO NON-TOC TEXT FRAMES.
* If the extracted paragraphs are in their correct categories, you can create new TOC styles for the TOC entries, or, if they exist, assign them in the TOC setup dialog box, and regenerate.
If this result gives you a sense of what needs fixing, and you have the time, refine the TOC styles so you can get the exact appearance you want. By avoiding changing the source paragraphs in the main document, you'll avoid any risk of reflowing anything. Finally, after the project's completely done and handed off, you can spend time refining the rogue source paragraph styles, IN A COPY, for use going forward.

Export cross-references and hyperlinks from InDesign to Word?

Hi,
I am wondering if it is possible to export text from InDesign (CS5) to Word (2010) keeping all cross-references active?
This would be really nice if so as we do a lot of translations for literature and need to keep moving back and forth with editors using Word.
If anyone has any information on this, please let me know!
Thank you.

Hi,
Thank you for the suggestion, but our company is world-wide and each subsidiary deals with different staff and editors (who only some use Adobe software, but all use Office). I will pass along the info though.
This would be a good Feature Request for a future release of InDesign!
Thanks again.

Inspect or check IE7, IE8, and IE9 Dreamweaver sites on my mac?

Hi. Apart from using Parellels, Virtual PC, buying Windows 7, etc, is there a free way to inspect or check my dreameaver site in internet explorer while on my apple mac or macbook? Doesn't Adobe have some way of letting mac users check IE compatibility with CS5 dreamweaver sites?
CS5, CS5.5
Macbook 10.5, Macbook 10.6, Macbook 10.7
Thanks!!!

Hi jaynew16,
I'm a little hesitant to answer this because it almost seems like a trick question You posted this in the forum for Adobe BrowserLab, a web-based tool for cross-browser webpage compatibility testing. There is currently no charge for using it, and you should be able to test any public webpage by doing the following:
Go to https://browserlab.adobe.com
Register with your Adobe ID
Click on Browser Sets and choose which browsers you want to test
Click on Test and enter your URL into the entry field
Press Enter and screenshots of your URL will be returned which you can view singly, side-by-side, or overlaid
If your site isn't public, we offer Dreamweaver and Firefox integration pieces that allow you to test pages behind your firewall. Turn on the extension in Dreamweaver by going to Window > Extensions and selecting Adobe BrowserLab. Make sure your version of Dreamweaver has all the latest updates, and you should be good to go for testing pages directly from your machine.
Let me know if you have any further questions,
Mark

Site-wide media query file

Let's say one has a style sheet for detail pages on one's website, say "detail.css", designed for desktop monitors.
Now one creates a sitewide media query file, e.g., mq-detail.css
which looks like this to refer to the tablet and phone style sheets:
/* detail-tablet */
@import url("detail-tab.css") only screen and (min-width:321px) and (max-width:768px);
/* detail-phone */
@import url("detail-phone.css") only screen and (max-width:320px);
Then how does one refer to the desktop style sheet? If I simply use "detail.css" with a minimum width of 769px, then some browsers like IE8 will not reference any style sheet.
Would this line in mq-detail.css   work:

If the screen width is >768 px, will "detail.css" be used for all browsers: that is the goal.

I understand the concept but it is unclear how to implement it. In what files does one put these two lines?
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/global.css" type="text/css" media="screen"/>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/mobile.css" type="text/css" media="screen"/>
The links above go on every page of my site as they are needed. The global.css for desktop AND mobile. The mobile.css contains the media queries css which are used to change the css in the global.css file specifically for mobile devices.
cma cma wrote:
David Powers' excellent tutorial talks about a number of mobile query issues but he does not discuss using the Site-wide media query file. Do you and Nancy dispense with that step and put all your media queries and CSS links in every html page?
There isn't any site wide media query file. That would be just a general css file that both desktop and mobile share, in my view. You only change what is necessary for mobile devices in a dedicated media queries file or you can include them in the general css file.
cma cma wrote:
He also says:
To ensure a level playing field with all devices that support media queries, just add the following line to the <head> of each web page:   #
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
Yes, that line of code needs to be present on all the website pages.
cma cma wrote:
Then Mr. Powers says to use "only"
media="only screen and (min-width: 401px) and (max-width: 600px)"
Havent read through the tutorial so can't really comment on that one only to say everyone has slightly different approaches to building pages. I tend to look at my design and see where it starts to break down then use media query break points based on that rather than any view port width.
cma cma wrote:
and finally:
use an Internet Explorer conditional comment to serve a special set of rules to older versions of IE like this:   #

You can use an IE conditional comment IF that is whats needed to get IE8 to work with your design....depends what css you are using. The more advanced techniques will not work in older browsers.

Site Wide Media Query option is ghosted

Hello,
I am new to Dreamweaver CS6 and I am trying to set up media queries for my website design.
When I got to Modify>Media Queries> the dialog box has the option for either "Site Weide" or "This Document". However the "Site Wide" option is ghosted and I can't select it. I have tried a variety of different HTML documents (HTML 4 and HTML 5) but nothing works.
Can anyone help me solve this problem?
Thank You.

Have you defined your site in DW? You should do that in order for 'Site-Wide' media-query to work. Here's a walkthrough that you can follow to define your site in DW: http://tv.adobe.com/watch/learn-dreamweaver-cs5/gs01-defining-a-new-site/
Yes - the video is for CS5 and 5.5. But it is no different to CS6 too!

Hack for page number cross-references?

Anyone have hack for dealing with the lack of page number
cross-references in the printed documentation?
kfc

Sorry for the slow reply, I needed to check with someone
about a macro they had but it is not one that will do what you
want.
Is page numbering a requirement or do you would you be happy
with working links? If working links would be sufficient, there is
a macro on my site under Print Issues but it relies on the string
for the link being exactly the same as the string for the target.

Need help: enter flash file in Dreamweaver site with dark background

Hi,
I've entered a SWF in a dreamweaver site with a dark blue
background. When you view the site in a browser there is a white
square (the size of the flash file) that flashes up for a second
before the file starts loading. This is rather ugly and I was
wondering if anyone knew how to avoid this white square from
flashing up.
I already tried making the table background dark blue and
adding a dark blue square as a background image, but that has not
made any difference.
If you'd like to see what it does, this is a link to one of
the pages: www.billmather.co.uk/portraits.htm
Thank you in advance for any help or advice you can give me!

Hi Horus,
Thank you for getting back to me. I found it, and tried it.
But still does not seem to make a difference. This is what the code
in dreamweaver now looks like:
<script type="text/javascript">
AC_FL_RunContent( 'codebase','

); //end AC code
</script>
<noscript>
<object

pluginspage="
http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="850"
height="660"></embed>
</object>
Did I enter it correctly? (I also tried it as <param
name="bgcolor" value="#000033"> but that did not work either) Or
do we still need to find another solution?
Thanks ever so much for all your suggestions and ideas. I
truly appreciate it.

Scripts export information about cross references

scripts export information about cross references in the active document and saves the result to csv/txt file (es: LOIC script Links2CSV; http://www.loicaigon.com/en/solutions-en/downloads/).

Search site wide for invalid code

I have over 1000 pages on my website. occasionally i open a page and find a dialogue box stating invalid code (with no option of fixing) how can i do a site wide search for invalid code displaying the results such as in the search or site wide properties box. For example which page has problems with a click to the source

Deutschy,
If you actually have a local copy of the site, you can do a Validate Entire Local Site right in Dreamweaver, though you might actually want to Validate Selected Files, if you have that many pages!
That will show you file and line numbers and what the errors are, for everything it turns up.
Within the Validation Results Window, you can double click on an error citation to open the file and highlight the code error.
That's the beauty of working within Dreamweaver to Validate..instant access to the code you need to change.
