From Muse into Dreamweaver?

After exported a muse project´s files, such as html, css etc. What can I do to make an html page´s design visible for me in Dreamweaver´s designmode?
(I need to work further with forms which need to function on another webserver than Business Catalyst´s.)

That's not entirely true. You most certainly can use the 'Export as HTML' tool in Muse and then do whatever you like with the files in any HTML such as Dreamweaver, Edge Code or any other HTML Editor or even a text editor.
However once it is edited in another program you will not be able to make changes back in Muse.

Changeing a site from Muse to Dreamweaver in business catalyst

HI guys, I have used various forums in the past to answer many questions about web design but never have I actualy asked a queastion - I really hope someone can help me please! (I can't seem to find a simple answer anywhere!)...
So here goes...
Being new to web design I created my very first site in Adobe Muse. My reasons for this were coming from a graphics/ print bacground the transition between the programs were really easy. I created my muse site quickly and uploaded it to business catalyst (incredibly easily) under the domain www.keep21.co.uk.
However as I progressed in learning more about web I decided to try and move away from Muse because I wanted to have more control of the code. For this reason I started to learn Dreamweaver. Being a person who never does anything by half I decided I would start from the basics and firstly learn HTML and CSS before I looked into the program. Having gotten my head around that I created a root directory and began to re-create the site I had built in Muse by hand-coding it into Dreamweaver. I made a few changed a long the way to simplify the design and I am now happy enough to take this site live (replacing the muse site I'd already created). HOWEVER.......... I have noooooo idea how to do this and have become very confused.
Can anyone please explain how to do this please? So to re-iterate I am looking to replace the files I have on business catalyst for the site 'keep' with my new dreamweaver site.
When I started the site I created a root directory and have four basic pages within the folder (index.html, about.html,pricing.htm and contact.html) I a lso have images, templates and CSS ready to go.
Any ideas?
Kind regards
Hannah

Hi INTW,
While in Dreamweaver, Go to Site>>Manage Sites... >>Import Business Catalyst Site
Login if prompted and then select the site from the list and choose your current root folder
A connection will be automatically setup.
If you left the download entire site checked, the current remote site folders and files will be downloaded to your root.
All you have to do is upload your new files then go to your admin and set the 'site's start page'.
That's all there is to it.
PS, id suggest you 301 redirect the old pages instead of deleting them.

How to import Muse into Dreamweaver

I am trying to import my muse website into Dreamweaver because i want do design my website in muse and then use PHP and MySQL to make blogs and membership systems etc. When I open dreamweaver and right-click on the Muse website and press "Open With - Dreamweaver", it starts opening it (it only opens the Muse website and just shows a blank HTML)... then Dreamweaver stops responding and i have to close it. If there is any way of making a membership system and blog in Muse (which only certain people can edit [not using Muse]) then please reply an answer... or if possible can people please respond on how to open a muse website in dreamweaver.
Thanks in Advance
Richard

As a non-coding designer, I'd rather design and hand off or collaborate with a Dreamwear person who can do the html coding and maintenance. My interest is in what the viewer sees and how they use it, not necessarily know how to create code. Most of us know how to drive a car, but few know how to build one. Rather than let Muse become a "whipping post" and the bane of all Dreamweaver coders, perhaps Adobe might entertain the idea of making Muse files Dreamweaver friendly. They certainly have accomplished this in other areas ala Creative Suite. Business Catalyst is just their answer solutiion, but for many clients, isn't the way they conduct their business.
So in the meantime, it would great if people who are Dreamweaver evangelists provide some insight about figuring out how best to make things work. I mean it's you folks that are working under the hood. And, I respect that.
Thanks,
David

Moving site from Muse to Dreamweaver

If a website is written in Muse, what is the procedure for moving it to DreamWeaver?

Hi,
You need to export the site as HTML from File > Export HTML. Once exported, you can open it in DW.
PS : You can't import the site back into Muse after making the changes in DW.

Aish

Getting passwords from Keychain into Dreamweaver

Hello, I had a trial version of Dreamweaver CS4 on my Mac, and when I unsinstaled it I had some problems with CS3, so uninstalled that but reinstalled it. Now all the account infor for all my sites are gone from CS3. I still see them in the Keychain and they are still assigned to Dreamweaver, but I Dreamweaver doesn't show them. How can I import them into Dreamwaver? Don't want to fill in all the details by hand again!
Thanks!

I didn't try it that way, I went to Safari->Preferences->Passwords and was able to access it there. It's good to know about the keychain app, too. I'll probably use that more than the Safari method.
Keychain is coming closer to replacing Roboform. There is still the issue of cross-platform compatibility that I need to research, plus storing other types of data, like I use made up answers for bank and other security questions and store them in Roboform.

Pasting tables from Word into Dreamweaver MX

Hi everybody,
Did a search for this but didn't find anything.
I used to be able to paste tables (or individual rows and
columns) from Word XP directly into a Dreamweaver MX table.
Yesterday, I had to reinstall Dreamweaver MX due to a computer
crash and now can no longer paste in Word tables.
The rows or columns being copied simply delete the
Dreamweaver table and get pasted as text only.
Am i missing something like a patch or an update? Is there an
option or preference that can be set?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks speculumcm.
However, Dreamweaver MX does not have a Copy/Paste option
under Preferences.
I have noticed that after the Word table gets pasted as text
(deleting the Dreamweaver table in the process) the Edit option to
undo says "Undo Paste as Text" and not "Undo Paste".
It is possible that somewhere there is a 'Paste' option set
to 'Paste as Text' and not 'Paste the Object'?

Inadequate rendering from Muse to Dreamweaver

Attached is an image of a screenshot of the Dreamweaver design view rendition of an HTML file exported by Muse. On the right is the same HTML file in MS Expression Blend's design view. Clearly the Dreamweaver design view is inadequate. In a browser (Chrome) the HTML file looks almost exactly like the Expression Blend design view. Hope you guys can fix this asap. I don't like working in Blend.

Are you working within a Defined Local Site in DW? Without this critical first step, DW cannot properly manage assets for you.
Go to Site > New Site. See screenshot.

Need help placing my drop down menu from flash into Dreamweaver

I had this working once. I am ping one you smart ones can help me out wuth this. WHat am I doing wrong?

I have not used any CSS to code my website, have purely used tables in a html template.
Sorry to say, but you can't make drop-down menus without CSS code. Which begs the broader question, why are you afraid of learning CSS? It's much more efficient than tables and you can do so much more creative stuff with it.

Muse to Dreamweaver (Social Network capabilities in muse?)

Hello,
Alright I'm a beginner here with these products so I apologize if any of these questions or statements are a little slow. So right now I'm trying to create my first website, using whatever software is needed (I just purchased creative cloud membership). I've used Muse to create a few websites just kind of learning the ropes. So now I'm hoping to kind of dive in by creating a "social networking," site. Apparently this is a lot more work than I thought it would be. I've used photoshop to create images and Muse to put the site together, then exported the HTML from muse to dreamweaver and this is all working fine. (site is connected and working on the internet). Now for my questions,
1.) First off I need to ask, is it possible to create a social networking type site entirely with muse (much like facebook, upload photos, have your own profile, news feed, etc)? Pretty confident the answer is no but ideally that'd be what I'd like to use just so much easier.
2.) I've cruised through a lot of tutorials with no luck. I really would like a good book that can kind of walk me through this whole process, (social networking design via dreamweaver or muse or whatever) so that I can learn via this way. Anyone know of any good starter walkthrough books or tutorials I should watch? I've watched the create your first website with Adobe and I understand that stuff but the whole having users, and managing their data is throwing a wrench in my progress.
Thanks for any help

I'm trying to wrap a class/link around a custom button I created so that it will replace a floating 3rd party button such as;
<a class="ethor_widget_button"href="#"><img src="My_Order_Button.GIF" alt="Online Ordering"></a>
and when clicked, will trigger the main scripting code that I place in the page properties head section. Note: that the 3rd party originally requested that the main script be placed somewhere near the bottom of the <body></body> however muse does not seem to allow access to this area.
I did past the main script in the head and it sort of to works when previewed. I won't know for sure until I provide the class/link around the custom button and publish the site to BC.
I'm trying to open a 3rd party food item selection and ordering process skin over the site pages when the custom "Order" button is clicked.

From RoboHelp to DreamWeaver

Hello,
I'm a technical writer new to Dreamweaver looking for any
tips, procedural assistance, or advice from anyone experienced in
moving WebHelp content from RoboHelp into Dreamweaver. Also, I'm
interested in hearing feedback from anyone who uses Dreamweaver as
their primary Help authoring tool.

If you don't need to single-source your help files, then DW
is fine, except
there's no built in way to compile your HTML into a windows
help file
format.
If you need single source help files, then that's really what
RoboDemo was
designed for.

No option to place from Bridge to Dreamweaver.

I purchased Dreamweaver as a stand-alone download (legal & registered to my Adobe account), and I know that the stand-alone DW doesn't come with Bridge. Because I own PS, ID & AI, I already have Bridge installed.
Since this is my first excursion into web design, I also purchased the Classroom In A Book title for DW. In the lesson on images, they want you to place a file from Bridge into Dreamweaver, but the "Place..." option in Bridge only lists the other three Adobe products. Is there a way to tell Bridge to place into DW, since DW allows me to browse in Bridge?

Mac: can I drag and drop files from Finder into Files panel

I am relatively new to Mac so forgive me if this is obvious.
I just switched from Windows to Mac and now something I used to
know how to do in Windows I can't figure out how to do on Mac. In
Windows I used to open an Explorer window over Dreamweaver, select
some files, and drap and drop them into the Files panel in
Dreamweaver, and they would be sucked in.
Now on the Mac whenever I select the Finder window to select
files to drag and drop, the Dreamweaver panels disappear
completely, rather than just move beneath the Finder window. So
when I'm ready to drag and drop there's no Dreamweaver to drop
into. I see that if I put focus on Dreamweaver, then Finder won't
disappear, and I can click on Finder to begin a drag without
Dreamweaver disappearing but then it is unresponsive to a drop.
In short, I can't seem to drag and drop files from Finder
into Dreamweaver on the Mac. Am I missing something? I'm using
Dreamweaver CS3 on Leopard if that makes any difference.
Thanks,
Jan

I don't believe you can do this on the Mac platform. The only
other thing you could try is to use Spaces and have the Finder open
in one Space and then drag it over to Dreamweaver in another space.
Outside of that I can't think of how this would work.

How can i turn a photoshop file into a website with knowing code? can i upload Muse or DreamWeaver?

How can i turn a photoshop file into a website with knowing code? can i upload Muse or DreamWeaver?
I created a few images (pages for a site) on photoshop and want to turn them into HTML code for a website- Can i Just upload the file into one of these programs and make a file with the correct code imediatly?
I was reading about using EDGE Reform but i did not understand if i can create the code with it, in the end it says it still needs to be sent to website developer after?

You need to look at Dreamweaver as a code editor. You need to learn to create good, clean HTML code with style sheets to make websites with Dreamweaver.
There are tutorials that will take you from a layered .PSD file to HTML. Here's a good one:
http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/site-builds/from-psd-to-html-building-a-set-of-website-d esigns-step-by-step/
Adobe's Muse is a semi-WYSIWYG website layout creator for small websites (1-5 pages). But there is no way you can go from a .PDS file to Muse, you have to start the site in Muse.
I have seen a few Muse sites and they're OK, but there is some code that Muse creates that is kind of odd. If you want a good, clean website that will work for you or your business, Dreamweaver is the best choice. Alternatively, you could hire a pro.
