Ex frontpage user new to dreamweaver help!

hello all,
I am very new to dreamweaver MX and have only ever used
frontpage 2000. I just dont know where to start and was hoping for
some quick advice.
In frontpage you could see the navigation pages so you just
click on one or create a new page. It was very user friendly. I am
creating a very basic page so my first question is how do i create
a website? title it "my acting website" and start with an index
page with a template/title that will go on every page i create.
Do you recommend any tutorials? if there are any for creating
a basic website?

Have you looked at the Dreamweaver help files themselves ? F1
and do a
search for ' Templates'
You need to create a basic dreamweaver template, with all the
elements that
will be on every page and declare an editable (an area that
changes on every
page - eg: content area) . You then would create 'children'
pages from
this template.
A basic knowledge of html and css would be advantageous to
you also :)
You may also want to check out the css tutorials at the Adobe
site - (last
link in my sig)...

New to dreamweaver, help with mdb

hi I am new to dreamweaver and have some html knowledge but no fancy stuff here. I have setup my website to communicate w/ dreamweaver but my asp pages are not interacting... that is, I cannot see any mdb database info in the "live view." can someone please help w/ all this dns jargon. I've searched google but it's too confusing. i'm sure I can figure this out w/ some help. thanks!

Hi
Live view will not display dynamic server side data.
To view this you will have to set up an asp testing server, see - http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/setting_up_asp.html.
If you are just starting can I recommend that you consider using php/mysql in place of asp/mdb (or msql), as the php set-up is much better supported in dreamweaver and on this forum.
For more info on setting-up and using both these set-ups, see - http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/application_development.html.

Help, content falling out - i'm new to Dreamweaver

Please help me, i am new to Dreamweaver so any replies,
please keep it easy to follow. I'm working on a single HTPL page. I
have a layout table and layout cells within it. These cells are a
mixture of text boxes, one picture and some spacer boxes. It all
looks great in the Dreamweaver 8 preview, however when I hit the
Internet Explorer preview some of the text and the image bleed out
to the right. What can I do? It looks wicked in
Dreamweaver!!??!!

Post a link to the page, please.
Also, just so you'll know, Layout tables are generally
regarded as bad mojo
for beginners to HTML. Although they are marketed as a way to
avoid the
anguish of learning HTML, they create much more anguish for
the unsuspecting
user by being fragile to the point of utter frustration....

New to Dreamweaver and need help with fomatting font

Hi, I am new to dreamweaver and have been playing with it for a few weeks. I have Dreamweaver CS5.5 and I am making some detailed html templates for my ebay listings. I have created my tables, graphics, and colors but I am having trouble with my font formatting. Everything is looking really good, but there are a few sentences and even just a few phrases that I want to underline but when I add a text decloration and underline, it just underlines the whole area of sentenses not the specific one that I highlited. I know how to create a h1, h2, h3 etc code and add underline to it, but I don't want to have to format a h1 or h2 tag everything I want to format a little line. The reason I have been doing this is because It really is one of the only ways I have been able to figure out how to underline something. I watched some tutorials which is how I learned this. I figured out in the properties Panel on bottom of page to click on the CSS rule to create certain codes and such, but I am not sure how to do this. I tried one thing which was where it says target rule, I clicked new CSS Rule and then in then in the CSS Styles Panel on right side of screen I selected add property which I was then able to do a text decloration and underline, but it underlines many more sentenses than I am wanting or have selected. Please help so I am able to specifically choose how to underline just a word or two, and even to have just a word or two specifiaclly be a certain font, size or color. I am able to find ways to make this work on words as a whole, but not individual words or phrases.
Thanks for any help its really appreciated!
Rylan

Bear in mind that an underlined word or phrase on the web means a clickable link to most people.
So, if you want to draw attention to something on screen, use anything (font size, color etc) except for an underline.
text-decoration: underline; is only used in CSS for styling clickable links. Not for regular text.
One option is to use the HTML <span> tag combined with CSS.
CSS
.important {
font-size: 14px;
color: red;
<p>This sentence contains a really <span class="important">important</span> word</p>

New to dreamweaver, need help on a part of my site.

hey all, I'm currently new to dreamweaver and i'm trying to add a section to my site that does a few different things and after 4+ hours trying to figure it out i cannot get the results i'm looking for. Can anyone give me input or help me via skype or something?
The results im trying to achieve are these.
1. Read an excel table and display it on screen.
2. Create a new record at the end of my table and display the table on screen again.
3. delete the record I just added before.
If anyone can help me on this I would greatly appreciate it, like I said i'm a giant noob to this and i know this is only a 10 minute project.

New to Dreamweaver and need help with menu alignment in IE

Hi l,
I am new to Dreamweaver, in fact this is my first ever website / question...
I have just produced this site for a friend
http://www.grantgibsondesign.com/A_Morrow1/
I am happy with how everything looks in Firfox etc. however, with Internet Explorer my menu table alignment goes out the window!
Can anybody suggest a quick fix?
I produced it in dreamweaver CS3.
Thanks in advance
Gibo
[Subject edited for clarity by moderator]

I'm in the same boat that why I asked. I ran it through browsershots too and everything looked fine:
http://browsershots.org/http://www.grantgibsondesign.com/A_Morrow1/
Even went back to IE 6. Which is why I asked for a screenshot. If you can go back to the person who told you about the design flaw ask them for a screenshot. Otherwise I can't really do much more than shoot in the dark.

New to Dreamweaver (CS5) trying to set up a secret access code (not a login)

I am new to dreamweaver and I've done a bit of searching and can't find answers for this specific question.
I am going to be handing out about 250 marketing pieces with individualized "access codes". Each code will be individualized. So for example one code might be "#X251" another "RQ457" etc..
I am not interested in a login/password combination. The user will know the site they are going to, but when they click a certain area of that site, it will ask for this individualized code and then they are "granted access". If they do not have a code then "access is denied". Each person essential has their own unique "access code"
I will continue to search but so far everything i've seen in my searches requires a "username/password" combination which doesn't work with what I am trying to achieve.
Again my dreamweaver skills are novice at best. I can read html to some degree and do have a few resources i can tap but I am really looking for some direction down the right path to achieve this.
Any help is much appreciated!

Thanks for your replies!
When they enter the code it presents the same content to everyone. I like the idea of the database as this would allow for easier expansion as well if I decided to add more unique codes later. Again i'm totally new and I will need to research some of the keywords you noted, but I think i'm on the right path.
Thank you for the code yowzer!
Is the code provided by yowzer1414 still useful in your example bregent, or would I be better off researching your suggestions?

New to Dreamweaver CS5, from FP2003

HELP! I'm new to Dreamweaver CS5, still learning my way around. I have an existing site built with FrontPage 2003, which I have imported and have played around with through DW.
However, I'm lost without my WYSIWYG editing options. I've read through the forums and obviously I'll need to rebuild my forms and my shared borders, but HOW, exactly? I'm somewhat familiar with HTML, but not as much with CSS...
Any tips and step-by-step advice is greatly appreciated!
Jill

I think you will have a big job ahead of you. DW is about as different from FP as it's possible to be, both in terms of general approach to using it and in terms of the quality of output. Do you have the space to spend a few weeks learning HTML and CSS before starting to work on this?

New to internalization help me

Hi there,
i am new to this internalization issues, so please bare with me. I have
an application(web based) that needs to be supported in 6 different languages.
From
what i could understand is there are some input methods which will help us
to map the characters of languages like chinese without having any special
keys in the keyboard.Can anyone tell me do i need to install that software
(windows specific) at the client end i mean at the browsers end(a plugin or
something like that) or only at the server end.
Second i know people say configure your database to UTF-8 so that it can store
all characters. But my question is suppose one user with the help of using input
methods
keys in some data in chinese language. Then my requirement is that i should be
able
to retrieve the data in english if some other user wants to view the data in english
Please help me i am stuck
thanks
bobby

Hi Bobby,
for the input methods check www.chinesecomputing.com. There is a package
you can download to input pinyin with a common keyboard. If you are
interested in the APIs behind visit
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/guide/imf/ for further details. For
other languages (e.g. thai, hindi, etc) you can install inputmethods in
Win2K, don't know how this is handled in other operating systems.
Well, you are quite right about the UTF-8 thing, but I guess you won't
get perfect results for your translation issue. You might want to visit
http://alphaworks.ibm.com/aw.nsf/techs/mt, but I'm not sure if the
quality of translations fit's your needs, it's rather an unsolved AI
issue I guess.
Cheers,
Daniel

Just new to Dreamweaver cs5 / Deleting a recent Item / Resetting home page

Hello
I am new to dreamweaver cs5. Just purchased the software and teaching myself the basics. I have created several recent projects and would I like to clean up, delete them and start all over again. Also have lost dreamweavers home page and don't know how to reset it. If anyone can please help. Is there an easy way to go about this? Thank you Jon.

Hi,
To delete recent files in your file list try the following :
On Windows, it's a setting in the Windows registry:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Dreamweaver\Recent File List
Select each file, right-click and select Delete.
DW must be closed befoire doing this.
If you are unfamiliar with the Registry (be careful !!!!!!), you can access it by executing the following:
Start > Run > REGEDIT > OK
To show (or hide) the Welcome Screen, go to your preference, General Category and chock (or uncheck) the first one.
Hope this help !

The Dreamweaver Help doesn't work

Hi,
The Help documentation doesn't show. When I access it - eg
"Help > Dreamweaver Help" - the help window opens but it's
completely blank. And when I search I just get the spinning wheel.
Does anyone know why this could be happening?
My install is:
Studio 8 - academic version
macbook pro
osx 10.4.9
Thanks,
Josh

My number is larger than yours. Of course, yours may be the
correct one....
