DW CS3 - Server Behaviors effects blind - it blinks when loading

Hi,
I use a window xp operating system. I created a floating div on an html page, and inside the div I inserted a table with 2 columns. In the left column I inserted a photo and in the right a link to 'enter' the site. I gave the photo a server behavior effect to 'blind down' the photo on upload. The issue is that when the page first uploads, the photo blinks for a split second, before it begins to start the 'blind down' effect. It looks bad that when a user gets to the page for the first time that same photo blinks quickly before it starts the effect. How do I stop it from blinking before it starts the effect?
This is the link to the website. Click on the 'showdown racing' box to see the effect blink : http://mysticdesignworks.com/index.html
Thanks!

CS3 Server Behavior for Update Links

Hi,
Here's something I noticed. The following JS code works on the desktop but won't work correctly on the server:
for(myLinkCounter = 0; myLinkCounter < myDoc.links.length; myLinkCounter ++) {
var myLink = myDoc.links.item(myLinkCounter);
myLink.update();
Conversely:
for(myLinkCounter = 0; myLinkCounter < myDoc.links.length; myLinkCounter ++) {
var myLink = myDoc.links.firstItem();
myLink.update();
works on the server but not the desktop. And, come to think of it, I think that was CS2 behavior. hmmm...

The script is doing exactly what you are telling it to do. By having the user leave the password blank, it is updating the database with the "blank" passsword.
In the form field containting the password field, put the password in as the default value from the database. You can do that by clicking on the form field and then selecting on dynamic. From there select the field that contains your password. From there make sure to mark the form field as a password so the password is hidden. You may also want to make a verify password form field as well with the same default value. That way when the user changes the password they have to change it on both.
If you have dreamweaver cs3 or cs4 or cs5 you can use the spry form validation and have it compare two form fields to make sure they match. If they dont match it wont let the user complete the form.
If you have an older version of dreamweaver you can download and use the yaromat form validation extension. It is a free extension.

Forms server crashes on right mouse click when loaded on Suse Linux 11

Hi,
I have loaded SuSE Linux 11 Enterprise Desktop SP1 on a PC.(1 GB RAM
I have installed Oracle developer Suite 10.1.2.3 here, when I open the Forms server application here and right click then the Forms server crashes.
There were a number of bottle necks before I could get to position to actual get the Oracle developer Suite installed in the first place and when that was done, now the Forms Development Server crashes.
Having said that, the Forms runtime works well here but there are numerous instances where this runtime crashes unexpectedly with a FRM - 92101 error.
It would be great, to hear from anyone who has got this combination up and working ?
I believe, I am missing some library or something else?
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Pradeepa.

Suse 11 is not supported for use with 10.1.2.x Developer Suite or Application Server

Find Server Behavior/JavaScript Errors

I am getting an error whenever I created Update or Insert
record server behaviors in my pages. When I go through the process
of adding the behavior, it inserts the VBScript for my ASP page,
but then I get an error message when findServerBehaviors runs. In
DW8, it was referring the InsertRecord.htm, in DW CS3, it referres
to InsertRecord2.htm whenever I run and Insert Server Behavior. As
I said, it inserts the code, but it will not show an Insert Record
in the Server Behaviors panel.
If I close and open DW, the next time I open the page, the
behaviors will be listed in the panel, but the moment I make any
changes to the page, and the findServerBehaviors javascript is
triggered, I get the error message and lose the listing of the
insert or update in the behavior panel even those the VBScript code
is still in the page. This is super annoying.
Anyone have this problem?

It's probably some extension you have installed that's
causing the issue. I found a tech support article that helped -
can't remember where, but basically you recreate your configuration
by renaming your existing config folder to something like
"configuration-old" and then restart DW. It will create a new
config folder and you will have to re-enable all your extensions.
This solved the problem for me initially and I enabled a few
extensions every few days until one day the error started happening
again. For me the problem was caused by the extension "Justso
Picture Window". Once I disabled that extension, my problems went
away. It would be nice if DW had some way of telling you which
extension is causing an issue.

Restrict Access to Page Using a password.php Instead of Server Behavior

I previously used "log in" and "restrict access to page" server behaviors for my client portal when I only had one client. I had my username and password stored in mySQL database. I recently have gained more clients that all needed to be redirected to their own customized landing page when logged in. Because of this, I used a password.php to store the usernames and passwords and to redirect to different pages. Now, I am wondering how I can restrict access to these pages (i.e. someone won't be able to access the pages by typing the url) since I will not be connecting to a database anymore.

I'm also confused by your statements.
>Now, I am wondering how I can restrict access to these pages
>(i.e. someone won't be able to access the pages by typing the url)
>since I will not be connecting to a database anymore.
It doesn't matter where you store the credentials - database or php file - the techniques for restricting access will be similar. I really don't understand why you moved away from the database when you got more clients. The more data you need to manage, the more reason to store it in a database.
After logging in, most sites direct users to the same page, yet pull user specific data from the database. If for some reason you can't do this and need to built individual pages for each client, then store the 'landing' page for the client in the php file or database. Restrict access to each page by comparing the logged in name with an allowed login name. Or a more dynamic approach would be to dynamically pass the page name to a database query that validates that it's ok for the logged in user to access.
Also, these questions are more appropriate for the app dev forum.

DW CS3 Loses Server Behavior

I have set up the PHP tutorial from
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/setting_up_php.html.
Site definitions are setup as per instruction, however, when
opening the send.php or view.php pages, the server behavior is lost
in the applications tab. If I try to set them up on that tab again,
it takes me to a new site def. session.
If I create a new PHP page, the behaviors are there, I can
create a connCafeTownsend DB connection, but when I add a RS, the
Site def. is gone again.

PHP, ASP, CFM Server Behavior Code Output in DW 8- CS3- CS4

Is there any major differences in the SB code output in CS4 vs CS3 or 8? I am debating buying CS4, but have heard code is essentially the same output when using the PHP, CFM and ASP server behaviors. I essentially only use DW for the pre-built SB dynamic functions as I write my own HTML and CSS. I can hand code if needed in DW8, but wanted to check with the experts on the code output of both versions. Is there any major difference?

Thanks David. I may wait for CS5 then to see if any new features in Server Behaviors set of actions. I should hand code more, but the DW server behaviors are great for a quick basic website. I just worry they wont work completely with new versions of CFM and PHP to come.

CS3 Bug with Server Behavior Command?

Hi there,
by updating a "Command" with the Server Behavior window
(windows XP) the upcoming window does not read all the Defaulkt
Values and Run Time Values anymore (do not know if ever did).
Here is an
Example .
anybody saw the same problem? Or anybody knows a solution?
thx
Sebastian

But if you have any pull, you should pass the note along to the Dreamweaver team and have them fix the bugs.
It's not a question of "pull". Adobe (or any other software company) decides what to fix, improve, or drop on a cost/benefit basis. Fixing an ASP feature might be relatively simple, but doing so means that something else gets ignored. The ASP feature might be very crucial to you, but if Adobe considers it a low priority in terms of affecting overall sales, it's unlikely to get fixed. Whether that's the right business decision is not for me to say.
I have submitted a large number of bug reports and feature requests over the years. Some are acted upon, others aren't. So far, I have accepted that the new features are, on balance, worth more than the features that haven't been fixed or implemented. Each user has to make the same decision. If people stop buying Dreamweaver because they think Adobe has made the wrong choices, either Dreamweaver will decline or Adobe will change its policies.
I have seen new tools, such as Zend Studio, offered by other companies that do PHP things far better than Dreamweaver. I use Zend Studio, and like it a lot; but as an overall web development tool, Dreamweaver still beats it hands down. But neither Dreamweaver nor Adobe can rest on their laurels. That's why I encourage people to make use of the feature request/bug report form at http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform to tell Adobe what's important to them. There's no guarantee that your ideas will be adopted, but it's the only sure way to get ideas directly to the people who have the power to implement them.

ADDT Server Behaviors not all available in CS6

Hello,
I used CS3 for years with the ADDT and was very happy with it. I was given a career change and got away from programming. I then upgraded to CS6 Master Collection and the ADDT for DW does not install and all the server behaviors I have come to enjoy are not all in CS6.
What can I do? Downgrading to CS3 is not an option. do I now have to repay for these server behaviors in another extension?

ADDT has been dead for quite a while. The deprecated server behaviors in DW won't work with PHP 5.5+ so relying on them for current or future projects is futile. Adobe removed them from DW CC for a reason.
Steer clear of CS6's Behaviors Panel and learn to manually code with MySQLi (improved) or PDO.
http://code.tutsplus.com/tutorials/pdo-vs-mysqli-which-should-you-use--net-24059
Alternatively, Web Assist sells a commercial extension for DW that uses MySQLi Behaviors.
$149.99 USD to replace the deprecated Server Behaviors panels.

Insert/Update Record - Server Behavior

Help Please!
I have several pages with forms that insert records, but I
over the weekend when I went to open them from the web to
insert/update records errors appeared. They were working fine
before. Using PHP, MYSQL and Dreamweaver CS3
I have tried everything I know to do. I have recreated the
page, same problem as well as delete behaviors and reapply them.
Once the server behavior is added it no longer says Insert
Record in the Application window instead it says "Dynamic
Attribute" Further, when I click it to make any changes etc,
instead of the screen for Insert or Update record coming up it is a
"Dynamic Text box" regarding POST or GET or URL stuff.
Edited to add: And once posted, the page only shows an error
and references this line
<html xmlns="
http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
Error Message
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '<' on line 40
What can I do?

You don't say which server-side language you're using, but the way that I would troubleshoot this in PHP is to use echo to display the value of $_SESSION['MM_Username'] at the bottom of the admin page. This is the session variable Dreamweaver uses to control access to a page with username and password. If the value is displayed, it means sessions are working, and the variable hasn't been destroyed.
If that works, move onto the next page, and use echo to display the value of $_SESSION['MM_Username'] as soon as the session has been started. To prevent being redirected to the fail page, temporarily comment out the following line:
header("Location: ". $MM_restrictGoTo);
Basically, you need to check what's happening to the session variable that controls access to the pages.

Update Record Does Not Show in Server Behaviors Pane

I am using Dreamweaver CS4 on a Windows 7 machine. I am coding in ASP VBScript. When I apply an Update Record behavior to a form and upload the file to the server, it works fine. However, the Update Record does not show in the Server Behaviors pane. Therefore, I cannot click on it to make further edits to it. When I open this same file in Dreamweaver CS3 on a Windows XP machine, I do see the Update Record behavior in the Server Behaviors pane and I can click on it to make it edits. What do I need to do to get the Update Record behavior to show?

Probably not the answer you are looking for, but support for traditional ASP has not been a focus of DW development, nor has it been for Windows 7 for
that matter. ASP is a "depreciated" language and support for it is dwindling. The I don't know exact reason for what is happening to you here, but I'd imagine it's an issue with CS4s translators and the combination of the feature sets in both Win 7 and CS4 not "worrying" about ASP as much as they used to.

You could do a redirect on the page that they do land on once

My personal preference would be to make one page, and only
show the user
groups parts of the page that they are allowed to see.

Server behaviors which require other server behaviors

I have a server behavior which initializes my CMS, and it is
required by all the other server behaviors I've created for the
CMS. I can use getServerBehaviors() to detect that the
initialization is missing, but when I try to add it on-the-fly by
calling popupServerBehavior() I get an error that I can't add a
server behavior at that time. Is there a way I can effectively have
one server behavior install another required behavior?
Thanks!

Just add the participants from the other serverbehavior with
partType="member".
For example: all database serverbehaviors include the
connection Include
<groupParticipant name="Connection_include"
partType="member" />

Is there any way to add dynamic parameter in sql without breaking Server Behavior

Hello, i'm building multiple language site.. i would like to know if there is possible way to add dynamic parameter in my query, without break the server behavior.
For example:
mysql_select_db($database_dxc_conn, $dxc_conn);
$query_Recordset1 = "SELECT article.articleName, article.articleDesc FROM article";
$Recordset1 = mysql_query($query_Recordset1, $dxc_conn) or die(mysql_error());
$row_Recordset1 = mysql_fetch_assoc($Recordset1);
$totalRows_Recordset1 = mysql_num_rows($Recordset1);
will become something like this:
$additionalSQL=", article.articleName_en";
mysql_select_db($database_dxc_conn, $dxc_conn);
$query_Recordset1 = "SELECT article.articleName, article.articleDesc $additionalSQL FROM article";
$Recordset1 = mysql_query($query_Recordset1, $dxc_conn) or die(mysql_error());
$row_Recordset1 = mysql_fetch_assoc($Recordset1);
$totalRows_Recordset1 = mysql_num_rows($Recordset1);
this is just an example, my real scenarion is far more complicated than this... however this kind of approach break the server behavior and force to do hand-coding...
i would like to know if there's better way to do such thing like this...

Server behaviors are simply bits of boilerplate code automatically generated by Dreamweaver. Editing the code doesn't "break" it (unless your edits are badly written). However, once you edit the code, Dreamweaver no longer recognizes it, so you lose the ability to drag recordset results from the Bindings panel.
If you want to edit server behavior code, the best way to handle it is to lay out your page as you want, using the Bindings panel. Once everything has been done, only then edit the server behavior code.
