Fireworks edit in Dreamweaver pouting and refusing to update.

Again, I'm new to Fireworks...let me know if I'm totally off
base here. Before I start, I'm using Fireworks CS3 and Dreamweaver
CS3 as part of Adobe Creative Suite 3 Web Premium. I use an iMac
running OS 10.5.2, Leopard.
I've just finished designing a new Fireworks navigation bar
for my company's website. The HTML exports and integrates into the
existing pages just fine (so far.) I'm in the process of testing
each page with the new Fireworks HTML to see if anything goes nuts
before I take it live.
Here's where I might be delusional. I insert the HTML into a
page, then use the "edit in Fireworks" option in DW to change the
default state of one button using the "show in 'down' state on
load" option (depending on which page is currently up.) I've
noticed that although I can use the "edit in Fireworks" option to
do other things (minor spacing issues for example) with marginal
success...FW is not reflecting the "down state" changes in DW at
all. I swear I've done this before and it's worked, though!
When I'm in the midst of making these changes and "preview"
in FW, everything works as it should. However, as soon as I hit
"done", no updates are reflected in the DW page...nor are they
saved in the original FW HTML when I go back and check.
If I'm completely wrong, what would be the best way to
reflect a "down state on load" button for each page of the website?
Do I need to make the changes, re-save the files, and re-export
them?
If it helps, the test index page is:
http://www.thdelectronics.com/index_testbar.html
It shows "home" in the down state. But when I load the HTML
on the products pages and try to change the down state button to
"products"...it doesn't work.
Thanks,
~G~

Hello
I just worked through this exact same issue today so I'm glad
to help. The easy answer is that when you are exporting the html to
Dreamweaver you need to check 'Multiple Nav Bar HTML Pages' in the
'Document Specific' tab (under the options button in my Fireworks
MX).
As far as I can tell, you end up with a nav bar for each of
your links and then have to import those each to your pages which
doesn't help when using templates. I'm hoping I can find a
different answer to that one.
Here is a link to the whitepaper...

Impossible to update to new itunes -- after old one stops working and refuses to update

I'm trying to load a new version of itunes onto my wife's computer after the old one hasn't been able to update or even visit the music store. I tried following the recommendations from the site to delete (through control panel/add and delete programs) and was unable to successfully delete the older programs. The same goes for quicktime.
It was recommended that I delete the following programs on the apple site...
itunes
quicktime
apple software updater
apple mobile device support
bonjour
apple applications support.
being unable to delete these programs successfully, the installer halts and says I need to delete completely the old programs.
Any manual delete tips from you guys? The operating system is XP

What's the precise text of the error messages that you get when you try to uninstall applications please, dv?

So last week... iMac stuck in the past, refuses to update web content!

Hello,
I posted a couple of questions elsewhere but realize now they may be related.
Since I installed OS 10.4.10, my iMac has been having problems updating some web pages and widget content.
For example, the Wimbledon.org home page is stuck on "Day 2 - Tuesday June 26" every time I open it using either Safari 3.0.2 or Firefox 2.0.0.4 (the same page on other computers normally shows today's date). Reloading does not help. More generally, for news sites, I need to constantly reload almost every page to get recent content, otherwise, it usually shows results from my last visit.
Also, my Apple Weather widget is giving me weather from last Friday or even earlier. I can check new cities with up-to-date forecast, but checking my regular cities like New York, NY continuously returns weather info and forecast from last week.
This sounds like a cache issue, so here is what I have done so far:
- Empty all caches (system, internet, kernel, dashboard, etc...) using Onyx as well as manually trashing folders
- Running the maintenance scripts
- Repair permissions and verify disks: all OK
- De-installing Safari 3.0.2 and reinstalling it (though the issue also affects Firefox)
- Deinstalling and reinstalling the Weather widget
- Refresh all windows and widgets using command-R or shift-click reload.
- Trashing preferences for Safari and widgets
Nothing helped. Moreover, I have no third party extension on Safari.
The exact same configuration on another computer (MacBook) seems to work fine now, though the first two days after OS 10.4.10 installation had some of the issues described above.
It looks like my computer does not want to age and refuses to update some web content!
Any suggestions, other than what I have already done? Should I try reverting to OS 10.4.9 or is there a fix?
Thanks,
Sacha

Hi Sacha - there have been a lot of problems after updating to 10.4.10, a reliable fix is to perform an Archive and Install and then use the 10.4.9 combo updater to revert to 10.4.9.
This generally fixes all problems, and is pretty painless to do.

Can not set source file for Fireworks png in Dreamweaver

I recently purchased Adobe Design Premium CS5 to replace my CS3, but I have a big
problem. When I export a png in Fireworks to Dreamweaver it does not set the source
file correctly. It places the Fireworks object on the page, but when I select the table
that holds the Fireworks object, the path for the source on the Properties panel is
wrong - it says menu2.png. The correct document relative path is dress_images/menu2/menu2.png.
When I drag the Point to File icon over the menu2.png on the Files panel, it correctly displays
the full path, but when I let go of it, it sets the path back to menu2.png. I can not even type it
in the source box and get it to stay.
Here is the problem. When I click on the Edit button, it says it can't find the png. It is using
the full path from the C: drive instead of the document relative path. If I browse to the png file
and open it in Dreamweaver then click the Done button, it saves the png file but does not change
any of the content on the HTML page.
Fireworks and Dreamweaver CS3 worked perfectly here. Help!
I just tried to do this on another computer. This time when I pasted the Fireworks HTML onto the
page in Dreamweaver it set the path correctly (it was a root relative path instead of a document
relative path). I tried to edit in Fireworks using the Edit button, and it opened Fireworks without
any problem. I made some changes then clicked the Done button. Now the Done button is suppose
to be like magic. It is suppose to save the changes to the png file, make the changes on the HTML
page in Dreamweaver, and change any of the supporting files (images) that have been edited. It
always worked this way in CS3, and anything less than this would be a huge step backwards. In this
case, it saved the changes to the png, but did not make any other changes. The web page in
Dreamweaver is still the same. How do I get the Done button to work its magic using CS5.
Another problem - when I paste the code onto the page, the page looks totally messed up. If I save it
and reopen it then it looks fine. However, this never occurred with CS3. Aren't updates to software
suppose to be improvements?
Thanks.
Nathan

Yes, the web site is correctly defined in Dreamweaver. I teach web design for both high school and
adult school, and I have done this procedure 100's of times with CS3. There is something different with
CS5. I took your suggestion and imported the Fireworks HTML using Insert -> Image -> Fireworks HTML,
but it still does not work. I can edit it in Fireworks, hit the Done button, and the png file is saved but
the HTML page remains the same.
Also, the export does not get the path right, and it will not let me set the path right. The only way the path
is right is if the page that I am pasting the Fireworks HTML is in the same folder as the png. It always
sets the png's path as menu.png. Therefore, if the page is in a different folder, the document relative path
won't find it. This was never a problem with CS3. In fact, you could paste the code using Control-V and it
would work 100% of the time. That is how we always did it. When exporting from Fireworks, I would set
Export to "copy to clipboard" then move to Dreamweaver, click where I wanted the code pasted and do Control-V and presto it would
always work. You could come back a month later, select the table, click the Edit button, make changes
in Fireworks, click the Done button and the changes would be reflected on the HTML page in Dreamweaver without
doing anything more. I have tried it with "copy to clipboard" and I have tried it with "export HTML file". Neither
works. There is definitely something different between CS3 and CS5, and right now I am missing CS3.
Thanks for your help. I will keep fighting this until I get it, but any additional input would be appreciated.

Inserting fireworks html into dreamweaver css

I have been using Fireworks CS4 to design layouts and export CSS into Dreamweaver CS4, which works just fine.
I want to import a Fireworks HTML pop-up menu in my CSS based Dreamweaver page. I have used Fireworks Export HTML and Dreamweaver's insert Fireworks HTML in the past but the pop-up behaviours are lost when I import it into a template that is CSS based. I figure I'm missing something simple, as usual.
Can the two be mixed? Do I need to edit the code view and insert a DIV manually or something? Can I just link to it with css somehow?
Getting rather frustrated now!

I had a lengthy reply written for this but lost it when I was logged out - seems the forum has a bit of a problem at the moment (at least for me !).
I'm not up to re-writing it all again, but in essence, I agree totally with Nancy, do not use html generated by Fireworks or any graphics program for that matter. If you were to ask the same question over at the FWs forum, you would be told the same thing, exporting HTML and CSS is ok for protypes, but not for live production sites.
TAKING FIREWORKS COMP TO DREAMWEAVER:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/dw_fw_css_pt1.html
The rule of thumb is to design the layout in FWs but build the site in Dreamweaver. The Spry menus are much better than the old popup menus, but the customisation of them does depend on your knowledge of CSS.
Customizing a Spry Menu:
http://foundationphp.com/tutorials/sprymenu/customize1.php
There are many websites that show how to use CSS to create nicely styled menus, including Dropdowns and I'm sure with a lot less code bloat :-)

Dreamweaver CC and Windows 8.1 - Can't Find A Valid Editor For This File Extension

Was running the latest version with no issues and then I loaded Office 2013 .. Now when I am in the remote site and try to double click on a .cfm file, I get a dialog box..Can't Find A Valid Editor For This File Extension..
I tried the support chat and they said Dreamweaver support was not available, try again later???
So I thought I would reinstall the CC version and now I can see the Dreamweaver icon next to the files but still ... can't open the file..
Any assistance would be appreciated?
Leo

The issue is only in Windows 8.x where when Dreamweaver CC is installed, it is not able to turn on the file type associations by default. The workaround for now is to manually add the extensions both within Windows and then within Dreamweaver CC itself.
Go to Control Panel > Programs > Default Programs > Set Your Default Programs and select Dreamweaver CC and then select 'Choose defaults for this program' and Select All or the extensions you want to open in Dreamweaver CC
Start Dreamweaver CC and go to Edit > Preferences > File Types/Editors and add '.cfm .cfc' to the extensions and then add C:\Program Files (x86)\Dreamweaver CC\Dreamweaver.exe then click on Apply and Close
That should be it.

I figured it out (tested with CS3 on Vista Premium).
[DO NOT DO THIS UNLESS YOU'RE COMFORTABLE EDITING THE WINDOWS
REGISTRY]
[REQUIRES ADMINISTRATOR ACCESS]
Open the registry.
(Back it up!!!)
Navigate to
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Applications\dreamweaver.exe\shell
Choose Edit->New->Key and type edit
With edit highlighted, choose Edit->New->Key and type
command
With command selected, you should see (Default) on the right
side.
Copy the path from the shell\open\(Default) value and paste
it into the
shell\edit\(Default) value
Open IE7.
Select Tools->Internet Options and click on the Programs
tab.
You should now be able to select DW for the HTML editor.

Where can I find website templates that are editable by both Mac and PC

I need advice as to where I can get a website template(s) that can be edited with BOTH Mac and PC. (I am on a Mac, the other person working on this same project is using a PC.) I am proficient in Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign for Print, but am a novice at websites. Where can I go to, to get a website template that both of us can edit simultaneously?

I am proficient in Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign for Print, but am a novice at websites.
If you decide to use Dreamweaver, each of you will need a licensed copy for your particular operating system. HTML & CSS coding skills are essential.
Another option is to use WordPress. Neither of you will need software to edit the site because WP is installed directly on your remote server. All you need is an internet connection and a browser to log-in to your site.

7110 refuses to update and has huge logs

I have a 7110 which is running 2009.04.10.0.0,1-1.2
I have tried updating it to the latest release and got an error 255 saying that something generic went wrong.
The error reads "
An unanticipated system error occurred:
failed to update: job failed with status 255
This may be due to transient failure, or a software defect. If this problem persists, contact your service provider."
I also tried updating to 2009.04.10.2.1,1-1.15 and got the same error.
The audit logs files are huge with 7057801 entries. How do I clear these.
When I reboot the system is takes a very long time before the bui is working, the ssh times out and drops me to the normal
unix shell. I can see the ak process consuming over 25% of cpu for a very long time. I always log out of this emergency shell without
making any changes to the system.
Im uploading a support bundle /cores/ak.b03120ea-64a7-69cc-ad72-b0854fd154b8.tar.gz in case someone at Sun has a look at this.
I am trying to upgrade this to the latest version as it is part of a VDI 3.1.1 setup - which is half upgraded from vdi 3.1 but waiting on the storage :)
Many thanks for any help.

By Template, are you looking for DW Template.dwt files?
Dreamweaver templates: Customizable starter designs for beginners | Adobe Developer Connection
Or pre-built CSS & HTML Layouts (starter pages)?
For starter pages in DW, go to File > New > Blank page > HTML.
Select a layout from the 3rd panel and hit Create button.
Or, look at Project Seven's commercial CSS Layouts and Page packs (not free, but well worth the investment if you want a good final product).

Or do you want Responsive Layouts that work in mobile, tablet and desktop?

Dreamweaver MX and External Style Sheets

Hi, this issue has been causing me some issues and I am
hoping some one may hold the answer. I have searched high and low
but not able to find the answer to this...
I have dreamweaver MX, I use a style sheet on an absolute URL
in my dreamweaver HTML files as follows.
<link href="
http://mysite/CSS/stylesheet.css"
rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
When I edit a HTML file in dreamweaver that has this refernce
in it I get no options in my style sheet menu to select my defined
styles in the style sheet. I know the style sheet works as if I
preview this page in Internet Explorer or firefox it loads the page
and appllys my styles to it so it looks completely differnt to what
it looks like in Dreamweaver.
I have found if add this link into dreamweaver it works
giving me my options for my styles so I can format my page and it
shows correctly in Dreamweaver.
<link
href="file:///Q|/Documents%20and%20Settings/BOBO/Desktop/CSS/stylesheet.css"
rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
The only thing that differs from each links is the location,
the one stored locally works fine but the one on the website will
not work and dreamweaver mx will not access it.
I then tried the exaxt same scenario in Dreamweaver 8 and
using both links locally and absolute it works on both links
perfectly fine and I can see my stlye sheet options. So it seems
Dreamweaver 8 is able to connect to both a locally stored style
sheet and an absolute URL and allow me to use my style sheeta but
Dreamweaver MX is not allowing access to absolute URL's.
Can anyone tell me if there is a setting or something I need
to configure within dreamweaver mx to allow it to connect to an
absolute URL style sheet?
Any help appreciated...

DMX cannot display external files. But you could use a
design-time
stylesheet.

Hi
I followed this guy's instructions and it worked:
http://evsiphone.blogspot.com/2009/05/iphone-iphone-could-not-be-restored.html
I did disable the security (AVG and Zone Alarm) when I tried on my own PC. My wife's laptop which eventually got it working also uses AVG and Zone Alarm but on an XP O/S whereas my PC is Vista - maybe this is why.
Cheers for you help.

Dreamweaver CS5 and xampp problem

Hi folks,
i had cs5 trial installed on my last laptop
running vista 32bit
with xampp, i could edit wordpress files
no problem,
but i just got a new laptop
now running windows 7 64bit,
i installed cs5 trial fine and xampp.
I just went to edit wordpress files for the first time
and when i go to index.php as soon as i go to
'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.

OK, I have wiped the larger drive and done a complete reinstall of OSX (and updates) and reinstalled all applications on it, so I now have:
Main Drive (OS and apps.): 465GB, with 430GB of free space
2nd Drive (scratch disk): 149GB, with 66GB of free space
RAM (I've added 2 more GBs): 5GB
But the problem with Flash pausing when I go back to it from another application is exactly as it was before I upgraded anything.
Is it possible this is a Finder problem? - as I also have a problem bringing up Finder by clicking on the desktop background if I am in another application - it just won't work, and I am forced to select Finder from the dock.
Thanks.
