Email link in Dreamweaver CS5

I need an email link ( I'm using Dreamweaver CS5) when I use the
Email Link on the right insert panel in Dreamweaver, it changes to the
same as my navigational links. I need the email link to look different
than my navigational links. I have a jpeg image, which includes a
background and text, the text being my email address. At this point I
will just type my email address. I will need coding and/or java script
codes to convert the information to an email address link.
What is Property Inspector does this have anything to do with
email links, if so where is it and how do I use it?
Need answers as soon as possible.
Thanks

The email info was perfect.
One more question regarding Dreamweaver CS5?
I have created a table and in the table is text and PayPal buttons. The table is
in an AP Div.
Under the table, I have another AP Div and in it is animation.
Another AP Div, in it credit card logos.
The problem: Under the table is too much space and then the AP Div.
How do I narrow the space between the table and the div tag under the table?
It looks good in "Design View" in Dreamweaver, but on the internet it looks
terrible - the large space under the table and then the AP Div.
Also, when I close Dreamweaver and reopen, the AP Div tags are overlapping in
the table, each time I open the page
I have to move the Divs out of the table.
The animation is not the problem, because I deleted the animation and there's
still a large gap.
WHAT the heck is wrong?
I've worked on this problem for hours and it's still looks awful.
Can you S-T-O-P the Table/Div Nightmares!
Thanks, Judy Long

Swf files and email links in dreamweaver

Good evening everyone,
Need some help please
I have a button (swf) made in Flash and brought into Dreamweaver to act as an email link when clicked.
When testing, an extra browser window named "untitled" comes up behind the main email window which
pops up fine. I can't figure out where the extra blank "untitled" window is coming from.
swf was made in cs4 with as3 and imported into Dreamweaver cs4.
The following is the code used for the swf file.
var emailLink:URLRequest = new URLRequest("mailto:[email protected]");
email_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick);
function onClick(MouseEvent):void
navigateToURL(emailLink);
Thanks in advance,
[email protected]

The extra browser window will not appear when you run the file live on a server. It is just one of the quirks with local Flash testing.

Email link in Flash CS5 and how to bold typeface...

Hi, total flash newbie here with a few questions:
1.) I'm trying to put an email hyperlink in part of my text, but I can't seem to figure out how to do it. I tried the code snippets, click to go to web page but instead of an URL I typed "mailto:[email protected]" but when I tested it, nothing happened.
2.) How do I link to the other pages from within the website that I'm working on? Again, I'm a total newbie and I'm only familar with Dreamweaver.
3.) Lastly, how do I bold the typeface??? The text tool properties do not show any bold, italic, or underline icons, and the hotkey to bold is the break apart command.
4.) When I test my movie, how come I can't scroll down and see the footer area of the SWF??
If there's someone on these forums that could help me with these problems, it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

How can I create a rollover drop down menu from a link in Dreamweaver CS5?

Hello all, I am working on a portfolio website and I was just wanting to know if there is any way that I can create a drop down menu from a text link that cascades once the cursor has made contact with the link. I would like to have it in my navigation bar where the Portfolio link is. Basically, my navigation bar looks like this : Home | Resume | Portfolio | Contact. I only want three items on the drop down menu beneath the portfolio link: Traditional Art, Photography, Graphic Design. I would really appreciate any help I can get! Thanks!

Make a graphic an email link without making the address visible?

How do I make a small graphic an email link in Dreamweaver Cs5.5 without having the email address visible?

Mailto: Links are visible to spam bots and email harvesters. Also, they depend on the end user having an email account & software like Outlook installed on their computer.
If your visitors use web mail accounts (yahoo, hotmail, gmail...) or they access the internet from cybercafes, public libraries, schools or community centers, they will see nothing. So this is not a reliable way to have site visitors communicate with you.
As previously mentioned, a contact form with a form-to-email processing script in PHP or ASP is the best solution. But as I understand it from a previous thread, you're on Intuit servers and they don't support PHP. Bummer.
To get around your host's deficiencies, you may need to use a service like Wufoo.

'discover' i get dreamweaver 'not responding'
and it doesn't respond.
Anybody have any ideas?
Thanks
Daniel

Thanks for the reply,
there was an update for dreamweaver yesterday which fixed my problem,
i don't know why because the update was for browserlab and dreamweaver compatibility or something like that,
but it fixed my problem and now the files load instead of the program (not responding)
so now i'm happy lol.

Unfortunately I can't help you. But if it's any consolation, you are not alone. I am suffering from same symptom except it happens with any dynamic site I need to work on. And it doesn't matter whether the sites are local or remote.
I am running Windows 7 64bit as well in both of my machines, desktop (AMD) and laptop (Intel), and this happens on both of them and with any dynamic site, Joomla! for instance.

EMail Link in SWF exported from InD CS5 does not work

I'm trying to find a definitive answer on this. I have designed an interactive document in InD CS5 that has buttons and hyperlinks. When exported to SWF everything works except my e-mail hyperlink. It works fine in InDesign's preview pane. I've uploaded the file to my webserver for testing, the problem still occurs.
I found one post in another forum that quoted an Adobe InD developer stating that as of CS4 email links were not exported. However, I've not been able to find any mention of whether this works in CS5 or not.
Does anybody know for sure whether or not email links work in SWF files exported from CS5?

Sorry, no offense was intended. I had found references to problems with CS4, but nothing about CS5, and said as much in my post -- was frustrated that I had spent a long time looking and hadn't found any responses yet.
You mentioned using buttons rather than hyperlinks, and that worked for me -- but it might have just been a problem with my browser not properly reloading the flash file, too -- as I mentioned in my response.
But in any case, THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUGGESTION!

Dreamweaver CS5.5 hyper link doesn't work

I'm using Dreamweaver CS5.5 with a template. The links in the template work fine.
When I click on a link in the body of the page that uses the template, the hyper link text quickly changes to a very small font and back, but does not go to the link.
This is the page: www.actitservices.com.
This is the code:
<p><strong>Read the <a href="http://www.act.com/media/en-us/docs/briefs/Act%21ProductBrief.pdf" target="_blank">product brief</a>. </strong></p>
I've been doing this for a really long time and I just don't see the problem.
Thanks for your help.

BINGO! That fixed everything!
Thanks huge!

How to add an outside url link to a navagation button in Dreamweaver Cs5.5

How or can I add an outside url link to a navagation button in Dreamweaver Cs5.5. If I try the properties/link it says that the link is an html and not a css.....
Thank you

Linking is done in HTML, not CSS (with the exception of a link to a background picture)
So, if your navigation is a list, you'd have the following in your HTML:
<nav>
     <ul>
          <li><a href="index.html">Home</a></li>
          <li><a href="about.html">About</a></li>
          <li><a href="books.html">Books</a></li>
          <li><a href="http://www.myexternalwebsitelink.com/inboundfromotherwebsite.html">External Link</a></li>
          <li><a href="contact.php">Contact</a></li>
        </ul>
</nav>
Here, in the example above, I'm using the HTML5 <nav>, but that could be an HTML4 <div class="nav"> and you will see a link to an internal page on the same website server for Home, About, Books and Contact with "External Link" pointing to another website external to the one we're on.
Make sense?

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/

Link to my email browser in dreamweaver

Each time i click a link in dreamweaver it automatically launches outlook. how do i set a link to got to my email bypassing outlook?

Change your email client or get rid of mailto links and use forms instead. There are plenty of plugins/modules/extensions if you are using a CMS, there are hosted solutions like Wufoo, or there are also form builders.
Here are some links to get you started:

Dreamweaver cs3 email link

Website's made with a link to an email address (mailto:email address). The link isn't working but on the website it shows as it reads... mailto:email address. Please HELP!

That code is a jumble. You've got a lot of things that could be "cleaned up". You've got inline styles on every page, and that makes each page look different - not a good design choice.
The email link doesn't show because you put the Footer outside of the content wrapper.
Take the </div> before the footer tag, and move it to after it.
</div>
<div class="style7" id="footer">© 2013 Jasmine Cafe. Visualized & Realized by <a href="mailto:[email protected]" class="style7">EBishopDesigns</a>.</div>
should be
<div class="style7" id="footer">© 2013 Jasmine Cafe. Visualized & Realized by <a href="mailto:[email protected]" class="style7">EBishopDesigns</a>.</div>

Dreamweaver cs5 problems and adobe support close the case on you

I emailed Adobe support with the message below and they closed the case on me and told me to go over to the developers connection website and open a case there. Well of course there is no where to open a case there, it brings you back to the normal support pages, so I opened a case again!
This is just one of the flaws in Cs5 I've found from intensive useage yesterday.
1. Hangs for nearly 2 minutes if you use an external link to ny file like jquery in the header of the pages - detailed below
2. Sometimes when selecting a related file it says "not on server" and actually tries to open ANOTHER ftp connection listed. It switches connection and then says"not on server" - well of course not....because it just changed to another server! However many time you change it back, it won't have it.
3. The pop up css is a good idea but not well thought out. I have to right click to get inspect but when I roll over the areas it doesn't show the css in the css panel. If I right click and select to show the code, it shows me the css, I then have to click it to select it in the left column. All very long winded... WHY NOT JUST CLICK AN AEA ON THE LIVE VIEW PAGE AND IT SHOWS THE CSS THERE INSTANTLY TO EDIT?!
4. On first open after a quit and relaunch, or restart, switching from normal view to live view hangs Dreamweaver for over a minute before live view is displayed.
Very very buggy and I feel I have paid for a beta version.
Hello I now have Dreamweaver CS5.
It has MAJOR flaw.
If a webpage contains the code
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.4.2.min.js"></script>#
It takes over 1 minute to open each page after launching
This is caused by the 'related files' facility
THIS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE in software which is this expensive.
All design companies such as us use jquery.
Please fix this flaw asap or supply me with a fix. Turning of related files
helps but if I was to do that what would be the point in
having that facility? (which I am paying for!)

Hi,
Appreciate your reply and accept what you say, I'll take on board the suggestions.
My answers under yours below
Second, the Bug Report form is here: https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform . Technical support is not a bug reporting center, nor are they developers which is why they probably closed your case. And there really are not any questions in your support request it reads like a bug report and an angry one at that, not even starting out calm, shouting almost immediately.
- Frustration, I've been up all night, hours messing with it.
Thanks for the link, I'll post to that. I personally don't agree that bugs this big should be present in software of such high upgrade fee's and which should have been tested but I guess we all know its the way of the world now.
1. Why are you working with remote website files that are not part of your domain and not in your local site? This is a bad practice to get in the habit of. If their website shuts down, so does the functionality of yours. Many here will argue that point.
- This is a valid point I've come across before and reading up on it I found it was said that the site in question was on cloud servers, mirrored etc. The link I posted was from someone elses post who was having a similar problem. I personally use the flowplay/jquery main link which has ALL the jquery plugins/effects so whatever is used on that page works.
http://cdn.jquerytools.org/1.1.2/full/jquery.tools.min.js
We did this as it seemed that was what everyone was doing, it seems I am wrong and I take on board your comments about downloading the file.
2. "Sometimes". That is the key word in your statement. Sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn't. What happens when it says "Sometimes not on server" and what happens in the other times. What's different? It's usually hard to believe it's random luck. But developers in a bug report need to know these things. What's different about the file(s)? Is it with certain file(s), type(s), etc? How would it open another FTP connection, do you have multiple FTP locations defined within one site definition?
I probably used the wrong word in 'sometimes' - A better description would be "some of the related files". When live view is on the right and code on the left, related files across the top. If I hover my mouse over the files, it tells me where they are. This info is incorrect on 'some' of the files, not all of them but about 8 out of 10.
It shows the file as being in the folder of another account in the site defs, but its not in there, it's in the one I'm working on (and which is live in the ftp file window). So if I click on the file to view it, it says its not available, and asks if I want to download it from the server. That doesn't work because it then tries to switch the ftp connection to the other site and download.
I thought it was muddled so I removed all the ftp sites and set up just one, the one I was working on. But that didn't work... it then thinks the related files are in "unnamed site 1" - anywhere but looking in its own folder or on its own ftp server!
4. You seem to be referring to Question #1 here so that is answered.
"Please fix this flaw asap or supply me with a fix." - So you are saying Please fix this flaw with a patch or give me the patch. Again, this sounds like you want to file a bug report and not create a support request.
- Accepted, you are right, its a bug report, just they directed me to the developer website and I kept ending up here, so began to believe this is where I should be posting.
"All design companies such as us use jquery". - While I wouldn't be so quick to say all, but rather most, I would say see my answer to #1. Why make your site dependent on someone else's?
- Accepted, I appreciate your honest comments and critism and fot taking the time to reply :-)

Tip - delete any email address code in the Insert email link prior to use!

I have been using the email link for a while now. I know its not secure, but in certain cases it can be used - I think.
Today I found a strange problem.
I have a recordset with lots of email addresses in it which are shown on an encrypted password and userlevel protected page.
The idea is to allow users with fully authorised access to the page to be able to email the other users by clicking on a link and opening their email client.
The email addresses are displayed as follows on the page:
<td>Email address:</td>
<td><?php echo htmlentities($row_clubedit['club_chair_email'], ENT_COMPAT, 'utf-8'); ?></td>
So after highlighting and copying the php code, I click on the insert email link in the insert menu.
The insert panel comes up with some code in the email link field without me paying any attention to it.
I paste my code into the text part of the link panel.
It comes up with the following code:
<td><a href="mailto:<?php echo $row_joinupset['mail']; ?>"><?php echo htmlentities($row_clubedit['club_chair_email'], ENT_COMPAT, 'utf-8'); ?></a></td>
Note that thre are now two different recordsets in the email address.These recordsets do exist on the page, but I did not insert the $row_joinupset['mail'] into the code - Dreamweaver did it.
Checking further, I find that earlier on the page I had created an email link by the same method using the joinupset recordset. The insert Email Link panel had not cleared the old email address from it's cache, so all the email adresses after the first one pointed to the same email address.
Because the page showed the correct email address, I did not notice until I tested my code, and found that every one called up the first email address.
I do not know if this is a bug in Dreamweaver, or why it happens, but it does.
Tip - delete any code in the email adress field of the insert panel prior to inserting the correct email address code.
CS5.5 on a 64 bit win 7 machine.

I have gone though this process yesterday and worked for me.
I would suggest you to have following things handy before calling Apple
1. Serial number of apple device which is associated with ur apple id
2. At least one answer to your old security questions
3. And you should be logged on to my account page of apple Id so that when customer care demands generation of 4 digit code you can do it.
This complete process is very simple but may take some time but apple guy was very helpful in my case.
Also remember the answers to the security questions are case sensitive.
Good luck
