Extra indent in source code created in dreamweaver

When I open a html file created in dreamweaver with a browser
and view source code from the browser, there are extra indents
added to the source code.
For example, if I write a line of code in dreamweaver
[tab]<p>one indent</p>
it becomes
[tab][tab]<p>one indent</p> in a browser
Is there a setting in dreamweaver to make this from
happening?

Hello, Diane -
We've got two separate issues here, but I think we have the solution to both.
1. How to stop Contribute from adding blank lines in the code, and
2. How to clean up a GAZILLION lines of blank code in a document.
First, Number 1. I assume you're working in Dreamweaver. If not, I'm not sure how to guide you. But, when you define a Contribute Site, there is an area to specify administrative roles and permissions. Under each Role, at the bottom, you will see a popup for what kind of server the site is hosted on. The default is Windows. I had to change this to Unix (Linux) to match the hosting of our problem site. Find out what platform your host is using. You will have to specify this under each admistrative Role. After doing this, I had the client make some edits, then I opened the files in Dreamweaver. No new blank lines. I admit, I still have my fingers crossed somewhat.
Okay, now how to clean up your source code and remove blank lines. A developer friend found this on some forum I had not seen. I don't know where, but I am grateful to the person who wrote it. It didn't get all the blank lines in my files, but I think some of the others, which I removed manually, were probably from the client pasting content in from Word. Here's what to do:
1. Open the file in Dreamweaver
2. Click CTRL + F, or go to EDIT > FIND AND REPLACE
3. Select "Current document" in "Find In" (You can also select the folder if you have multiple files.
4. Search in "Source Code"
5. Check the box labeled "Use regular expression"
6. Type "[\r\n]{2,}" (without quotes) in "Find"
7. Type "\n" (without quotes) in "Replace"
8. Press "Replace All"
The operation chugged for a few minutes with my 301,000-line document. Yours may a take a little longer, but it did work. Good luck!

How do I redesign Source Code on Dreamweaver?

Hello everyone,
I currently am doing a voulenteer website (they said they will let me intern for them if I do this, I am not getting paid since I volunteered). Little did I know that the client had a website that was done by another company and would like me to redesign it.
I thought no problem, I can manage, but now its stressing me out.
The company sent me a "Source Code File" on the website and I just do not know where to begin.
The Zip file cotains:
Five folders: Content, CSS, Images, Pages, Script
There are also three items: Custom.css, Index.html, Main.css
I do not want to let them down, all my experience is wordpress and I have 3 weeks to work on redesigning the website. Supposedly, I cannot use wordpress because they want to charge the client an extra 1k if I do wordpress because they have to link the content.
I would really appreciate an experts advice on how to begin redesigning and how long might it take. I understand only basic coding so the file is not too scary its just the CSS and the other tabs when I open the index in dreamweaver which have me worried.
Sorry if I am making no sense, I am just really stressing on this one website. When I said web design I wanted to start from scratch...I look forward to hearing from you all.
Thanks!

So for the website should I make buttons myself or just use html for them?
The entirely depends on you. Fact is, the easiest 'button" to make is:
<a href="#">click here</a>
In other words, it's a simple link.
But you can style navigation and use backgrounds and divs to create button-like navigation:
Here's the navigation I did for one website (html):
<div id="navigation">
<nav>
<ul id="menu">
        <li><a href="../index.html">Home</a></li>
        <li><a href="../about.html">About</a>
       <li><a href="../connect.html">Connect</a></li>
      </ul>
</nav>
</div>
And the CSS for the above, which creates a drop-down menu structure using CSS3 elements. The navigation is very button-line and works great:
@charset "UTF-8";
/* CSS Document */
/* Main */

Unwanted source code appears in browser but not in Dreamweaver Code Window

I am using templates and css, and Dreamweaver to build a new website of about 20 pages. With the first several pages, everything was working well. Then as I continued to add pages, I started to notice some code appearing at the bottom of web pages (under the footer), and then, a page duplicating the footer, and then, the drop-down function on the index page not working (pulls down and pops right back up) while headers on other pages work fine. I viewed the source code in the browsers (IE and Firefox) and I see the extra code at the bottom. However, this code doesn't show up in Dreamweaver, or, when I open the files in Notepad.
Following is an example of the different bottom-most lines of code in the Firefox browser compared to what I see in Dreamweaver or Notepad (note the highlighted line that is not showing up in Notepad or Dreamweaver).

this answer is a bit late, but i think i have figured this problem out and it is probably still bugging someone out there.
i was having the same issues through many dreamweaver upgrades and kept running into the same problem (only on my Mac though - PC never gave me trouble). anyway, my hard drive recently died and i had a brand new one installed and then i installed a fresh version of CS5. started building a page and ran into the same problem. now that this is happening on a new drive with a fresh OS and reinstalled software, i needed to look elsewhere.
the problem is so simple you will more than likely cry at the amount of time you have wasted on it. more than likely if this is happening to you, you are working off of a network drive or a server. all my files are stored on a server locally, so when i make a change it is saving to the server. either a bad or slow connection to the server and/or a server going bad will cause this issue.
take the same file that you are having problems with and save down to your desktop - then preview in a browser. so the solution is to build the entire site on your local drive and then FTP up to the live site when complete.
hope this helps.

Does a method exist in order to take a labview executible and derive the source code VIs used to create it?

Has there been any type of methodology for taking a labview executible and extrapolating the source code VIs used for creating the VI?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Officially they are embeded in the exe in an undocumented way. So you can't easily get at them. But you can always attach a remote debug session and get into the diagrams that way. That is if the diagrams were not removed during the build, which requires a conscious and extra action by the person to remove the according check mark in the build options of the project. So by default all diagrams are totally gone and are definitely not possible to get back from the executable, unless as smercurio has mentioned your name might be Carnac

Source code for "Creating an Extended Web Dynpro Application"?

Hello!
I'm a rookie in the field of SAP Netweaver and I'm justing getting started with some tutorials. My problems with "Creating an Extended Web Dynpro Application" are to massive to be posted on this forum in this stage. What I want to have some help with is to find the source code for that tutorial so I can get som guidence from there.
Following text is cut out of this page:

Creating an Extended Web Dynpro Application
You can download the Web Dynpro project for the current tutorial from the Software Developer Network SDN (http://sdn.sap.com -> Web Application Server -> Web Dynpro -> Sample Applications and Tutorials) in two versions: one skeleton version you can use for exercises and one final version (solution) for an immediate build, deployment and run on the Java engine of the SAP Web Application Server.
How hard I try I can't find the specific source code on sdn.sap.com
Does anyone have a clue where it is?
Thanks!

Hi!
I did what you said but I seem to miss the IDE folder. This is what it looks in my Explorer
C: > Program Files > SAP > IDE > CE > eclipse > (no folder called "examples")
I also did a search in this eclipse folder for "examples" but I did'nt find the example I'm looking for
I am running a newer version of NWDS:
SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio
SAP NetWeaver 7.1 Composition Environment SP03 PAT0000
Maybe that's why things don't look the same?

If I Use JavaFX to Create a Game Do I Have to Release the Source Code?

Hello,
I've asked this question before, but I just thought I would try it again now
that version 1.0 is out.
If I Use JavaFX to Create a Game Do I Have to Release the Source Code?
Thanx in advance.

Could you please point me to a resource describing "the JavaFX Runtime license"? I'm trying to find answers to the following questions:
1. I'd like to use Scenario.jar from the JavaFX project in a desktop app that is not using Webstart and is not an applet. Will I be able to ship the jar with my software?
2. Can JavaFX applications be distributed as commercial software in the absence of a Web connection?
What's not clear to me is which is the real license for Scenario.jar (as shipped with JavaFX). Is it the one in openjfx-compiler's trunk, or the one that comes with the JavaFX SDK (which is very vague about redistribution)?

Creating a copy of an existing JTable that does not have source code.

Hi
I am working on a java swing based application. We used a third party API for JTable for showing some data in a table format and also for printing function. As of now print button is printing the whole table being shown in the application. Our new requirement of printing is �Users don�t want to print all the columns being shown in the application and they wanted to have print of columns whatever they would like to see�.
The above requirement can be fulfilled if I can have a copy of the existing table. Unfortunately we don�t have the source code of the table being shown in the application as we are using 3rd party libraries. Had the source code been there I could have implemented cloneable interface or proto type pattern.
Can some body help me how can I create a copy of the existing table? Basically the high level approach I thought of is create a new object of the table class and copy the properties/attributes of the existing table to the new table object. But I don�t know what attributes should be copied so that I can have the copy of the original table and how to construct (code) this new table.
I would be very grateful if some one could help me with this.
Thanks & Regards
Srini

I understood your suggestion. But it would be very difficult to migrate as it requires lot of changes across different tabs of the existing application. This application was developed around 6 years ago. And this change would require lot of regression testing too.
Do you have any idea of creating the copy of the available JTable object?

Extra blank lines in source code

I have built a website in Dreamweaver CS4 and have a client editing pages in Contribute CS5. Both of us are working on Windows 7, and the site is hosted on Linux. When she makes edits to the page, something is introducing a GAZILLION blank lines in the source code. A typical page for this site is about 380 lines of code. The problem page is now more than 310,000 lines code with 100-200 blank lines between every "real" line of code. What the...?!
I need to know how to stop this and how to remove the blank lines from the source code using Dreamweaver.
The page in question lives here: http://www.alexandercitychamber.com/member-category.html

3. Select "Current document" in "Find In" (You can also select the folder if you have multiple files.
4. Search in "Source Code"
5. Check the box labeled "Use regular expression"
6. Type "[\r\n]{2,}" (without quotes) in "Find"
7. Type "\n" (without quotes) in "Replace"
8. Press "Replace All"
The operation chugged for a few minutes with my 301,000-line document. Yours may a take a little longer, but it did work. Good luck!

Why are the Java Library source code classes not indented properly?

I have always admired the design of a lot of classes and frameworks in the JDK. I read the source code a lot to see how the developers coded a particular class, how they designed it and how they write the javadocs.
But one thing I observed was the improper indentation of the source code. Why is this so?

Create Global Class Definition using Local Class Source Code

I would like to be able to automate the creation of global class definitions using source code that is defined in a text file (one example: convert a local class def to a global class def).
Does SAP deliver this functionality? (I'm already aware of the various classes that can be used to create global classes and how those classes can be implemented in a program to generate new classes. I'm hoping to avoid having to create a custom solution.)
Thanks in advance!

We have a winner!
Thanks Rich!
It's not a 100% solution - I was hoping to be able to generate global classes/interfaces using source code alone, without requiring user intervention.
It <i>is</i> however, a 90-95% solution because debugging SE24 reveals that by using a combination of the FM's SCAN_ABAP_OBJECTS_CLASSES & SEO_CLIF_MULTI_IMPORT, I should be able to <u>quickly</u> put together that custom application that I was trying to avoid.
I knew about the existance of SEO_CLIF_MULTI_IMPORT but I did not know about SCAN_ABAP_OBJECTS_CLASSES. I'm very happy to learn that I'm not going to have to write a parser!

Dreamweaver shrinks source code font size sometimes

Usually Dreamweaver CS5 Mac shows the source code at a nice font size. But sometimes it shows it really small. How can I change this?

I figured it out. I guess some of the pages on the site are in Western character encoding (or at least thats what it says in Firefox). When I added this meta tag to the page the font size changed back to normal:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />

Um Im using Safari 3 Beta but on Mac OS X. I made a document in text edit and saved it as a html doc since I want to make a website. Then when I open it and hit view source, I am unable to edit the source code at all.. why?

Um... Ok think I understand what your saying, Thanks!
Or not.. when I save my file since what Im doing is just opening it and saving, do I choose to save it as an HTML file? Im honestly used to creating websites in IE since when you hit view source it would promt note pad to open.
