Future of Dreamweaver
Ever since the merge of Adobe and Macromedia, I've been
wondering what the future of Dreamweaver and GoLive will be, will
they eventually become one single product? Or will dreamweaver or
GoLive cease development and only focus on one particular web
development program?

What are plans for future of Dreamweaver
An associate claims he attended a recent Adobe conference that indicated Adobe was droping future development of DW and concentrating on replacing it with Muse. Any truth to this?

It doesn't sound to be true IMHO but development of any product depends on the demand of that product. DW was in demand when people started learning HTML/CSS and when they were creating websites using the wonderful thing called Tables.
Recently, the trend has been to use CMS packages like Joomla, Drupal, Wordpress and others so Adobe will certainly continue developing DW as long as there is a demand. However, people using CMS websites don't really need DW so only the time will tell whether DW continues as it is all whether it adapts so that people can do something different with it. It is more like a company called Nero which was making CD/DVD writing siftware but these days CD/DVDs are becoming obsolete and people are using flash/pen drives and external hard disks or portable hard disks. So Nero's products are going for a sausage. I bought Nero Burning Rom for £10 from them when the same product would have cost me £75 in 2001.

Your chance to influence the future of Dreamweaver
Alejandro Gutierrez, the new Product Manager for Dreamweaver, is inviting applications to join the Dreamweaver prerelease (beta) programme. For details, see http://blogs.adobe.com/dreamweaver/2012/11/join-the-dreamweaver-pre-release-group.html.
I don't know how many people Alejandro is prepared to accept, but it's a good opportunity to help improve Dreamweaver. It's a lot of work, not just a free peek at the next version.
Beta testing involves working with incomplete features, reporting bugs, and suggesting improvements to the workflow. It involves frequently installing new builds, but you can keep your existing stable version on the same machine. -
Is adobe phasing out dreamweaver?
I am contemplating getting a CC subscription, mainly for photoshop and dreamweaver, but I'm concerned about the future of dreamweaver. It looks like most of the applications adobe is putting the majority of their stock in have undergone a UI update (most notably - the addition of a dark theme) , but I have not heard or read anything about dreamweaver getting a face-lift. Is adobe going to continue development for this IDE and, if not, will they be coming out with something new for development of web applications?
The short answer is Dreamweaver is here to stay.
The DW team is hard at work to not only update DW to comply with today's standards, but to also be more user friendly.
By getting a CC subscription you will not only get the updates to your programs, you can also use programs like Adobe's Edge Tools and Services. -
The future of ColdFusion and dreamweaver stepped up to the plate before it is too late
It sucks, in order to shoot me a better integration of cross your product line and to make it work with the various devices available it was easier to remove support for ColdFusion from dreamweaver then it was too say isolated and have a flag that people could turn on or off but then you wouldn't have an opportunity to Korea and other product CF builder with his huge learning curve to sell to your current developers.
In terms of succeeding business planning this may be the wave of the future by lose away if they could wash everything away.
It does sound great CPUs with eight cores, 10 cores however many cores and threads or how much memory you can stick in a machine with water coolers memory coolers and so one you still don't write software that is compatible system wide.
So before trying to squeeze another dollar out of developers perhaps you should re consider your future plans because to me it looks like you are trying to disguise an effort to offload ColdFusion as no longer a core productIt sucks, in order to shoot me a better integration of cross your product line and to make it work with the various devices available it was easier to remove support for ColdFusion from dreamweaver then it was too say isolated and have a flag that people could turn on or off but then you wouldn't have an opportunity to Korea and other product CF builder with his huge learning curve to sell to your current developers.

Will there be future database support of mySQL and php 5.5 on the dreamweaver CC?
Will there be future support of mySQL and php 5.5 on the dreamweaver CC? I have seen various topics on this, and havent seen any answers on this as of yet. I feel it is very important to have this available, and not from some external company as an addon or something. I come from cs6 products, and am debating whether or not I should even join the creative cloud, or participate any further with Adobe products.
I have been a fan of Adobe for quite some time. However, if there isn't going to be any database tools within DW, I may decide to pass on the CC and comepletely hand code it all from now on.
Has anyone found yes or no answer to this yet? I am assuming there is no news yet, as the adobe posts I have read have no additional info other than they haven't updated the tools, thus removing them from CC.Mikaroni wrote:

I very much doubt that any future addition of DW will include any 'official' support for mySql database interactivity. CC hide the server behaviours this time around in an extention to be activated by the individual, its still available in CC but at the users own disgression, mySql is dead. You should be connecting and querying your databases using other methods like mySqli. Adobe have seen it fit to go in other directions and dispite the outcry of dropping the server behaviours there has been a deafening silence from Adobe. From that you can take it they think it is no longer an important part of their software package.

I have not updated to CC because it contains zero that would be of importance to my workflow. The more experienced a code writer you are the less DW has to offer. Any serious code writer would not miss DW if it went out of business. Fireworks is more important to me which LOL is going out of business...go figure. I think the Adone execs are screwed up snorting cocaine or something. I'm not really even sure why I use DW, maybe out of habit.
Certainly hand coding for database connectivity and querying is the ONLY way to go if you are not interested in third party extentions because continuing to use the current available server behaviours is a backwards step. I don't know how good these third party extentions are because there has never been a lot of talk about them around here which leads me to believe not many are considering them, maybe. -
I read the following article:
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb402489&sliceId=1
And Adobe plans on removing ASP.net Server Behaviors?? How is
a user supposed to connect to an Access Database without using
Microsoft Expression? I know PHP connects to MySQL, but that
software package is much more expensive than access? (Or is it?,
maybe I am missing something)
It's just my opinion, but I think it's crazy to remove
support to a simple, reasonably cheap DB when a basic one is all
that's is needed as compared to connecting to MySQL.
Again, I may be missing something, which is why I post here:
For the enlightenment.> How is a user

You can use ASP, or even PHP to connect to an Access
Database. Both of
those will be supported in future versions.

Huh? Both are FREE. Although your host may charge you for
access to their
MySQL server, that change is a) a passthrough charge to your
client, and b)
usually nominal anyhow.

Why is my flash content not working on my dreamweaver created html site?
This is a problem that's happening on my website I'm creating. I created a quick test website to show you the problem on the fourm. It's the same problem, and if you can provide the solution to this test website I can apply it to my main website.
Test website on server:
test331754952.net23.net
What I did:
-launched flash
-typed "test" and made it spin 360 degrees
-published swf
-launched dreamweaver
-created a site
-moved swf to site folder
-saved a html file to the site folder
-in dreamweaver, went to insert, media, swf, then selected the swf I made
-it inserted the swf, creating a gray placeholder for it
-re-saved the html document, at which point dreamweaver created a folder named script and 2 files, an swf, and a javascript file
Site Directory:
Scripts Sub-Directory:
What happens:
-when I launch the swf on my machine, it plays fine
-when I open the swf directly on the test website on the server, it plays fine
-when I open the html with the embended swf on the test website on the server, it shows a gray box, then goes white
-In dreamweaver, when I go to preview in browser and choose internet explorer, it tells me I don't have new flashplayer(I do: flashplayer 11)
Ie also pokes up a box at the bottom that says its not allowing content. When I click allow content, it creates a gray box
-In dreamweaver, when I go to preview in borwser and choose google chrome, it tells me flash player has stopped a potentionally unsafe operation. When I close this dialog box, it gives me a gray box where my swf should be embeded.
-I've tried changing global flash secuirty setting and it does nothing
-I've tried visiting the test website on multiple computers in my household to no avail
-I've tried having friends visit the site on their computer at their house to no avail
-I did't touch the code on this test website-the code is exactly what dreamweaver generated

Can someone please help! I've looked and tried prety much everything. If you can provide a solution I would GREATLY apreciate it!There is no Flash player version 15... as in your code:
<param name="swfversion" value="15.0.0.0" />
For some reason Adobe thought it would be a good idea to target a Flash player version (15) as default.....which may be out a couple years in the future. Go figure!!!
If you don't like player version 9, change to 10 or 11.... just not 15 (yet).
Best wishes,

Question: My spry menu bar is not displaying correctly in Dreamweaver
Hello,
I am new to Dreamweaver CS5, so coding isn't my area of expertise. My problem with my spry menu bar is that it does not display the tabs on the menu bar correctly. When I try to apply new changes to the CSS of the horizontal menu bar, half of the tabs will change and the other half will not. Also, I am unable to drag and move the menu bar itself around, a function that I was once able to do before. At times, only one tab of the menu bar will display itself, without any of the other tabs as well.
I have a hunch that my problems stem from some coding errors in the SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css, and possibly in the SpryMenuBar.js. On the CSS Styles panel, my SpryMenuBarHorizontal.CSS list reads as follows:
I also have a hunch that something about this line-up is also incorrect, but I don't exactly know what the problem is.
Here is what my coding for my SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css looks like right now:

And here is what my SpryMenuBar.js coding looks like right now too:
SpryMenuBar.js
This file handles the JavaScript for Spry Menu Bar. You should have no need
to edit this file. Some highlights of the MenuBar object is that timers are
used to keep submenus from showing up until the user has hovered over the parent
menu item for some time, as well as a timer for when they leave a submenu to keep
showing that submenu until the timer fires.

If anyone could possibly steer me on the right direction with this, I'd be very grateful! I've been struggling with this for about a month now and I feel like I may have only made the situation worse.
I'm not sure if I have to keep making a new spry assets folder in my website or not or if I have to drag and drop the spry assets into the root folder. I have restarted my website over at least a dozen times by now. I have tried changing folders, dragging and dropping various spry assets folders everywhere and I have also uninstalled and reinstalled my copy of Dreamweaver CS5 in the hopes of getting my spry horizontal menu bar to act normal. I am completely new at Dreamweaver and I really, really need some help with this.
Thanks!I haven't been able to get my site posted up yet. Here is a link to it anyway:andrearosales.com
I will be working on connecting my files up to my server. At the moment, here are some screen shots of some messages that I am getting when I am saving my file.
I'm not sure what to make of these messages. I tried to put a new spry horizontal menu bar on my main page, and when it appeared, it displayed as a spry vertical menu bar.
Here is a picture of what it looks like:
I"m going to refer to the links that were suggested to me though. I'm not sure if pictures of the code will help to solve my problem. I'm going to try again to connect my files to my server though. -
Is there a fix to the scrolling bug in Dreamweaver on Surface Pro 3?
On my SP3 with the latest update of Dreamweaver CC I experience the code window merging lines over each other when scrolling. This is hard to explain but say I pull the scroll bar down the lines of code appear to stay where they are but the line numbers move as expected. This results in say line 30 displaying the contents of line 1. Does that make any sense when reading...??!? Anyway it is more than infuriating! To get over this it sometimes helps to select the text in the window - but not a fullproof solution as it doesn't always work. Any suggestions appreciated.
Thanks.OK, here goes. Dreamweaver is currently not enabled to support touch devices.
There isn't much that I can share at this moment except that we have registered this request and are looking towards addressing it in the future.
Until then, we request you to continue using Dreamweaver similar to how you have been using it previously on your desktop.
Also feel free to use the Ideas section on this forum to post your request and canvass for it.
Thanks,

Dreamweaver as code generator for use in other applications?
Hello and thank you in advance for your time and your help!
I realize and apologize for this lengthy post but I had to explain my issue thoroughly...
I've just begun teaching myself to use Dreamweaver CS3 (on an iMac running OS X 10.5.8 - Leopard) with the "Dreamweaver CS3 Missing Manual". I don't know HTML or CSS but am very willing to learn as much as I can. In the near future, I hope to create a new website for my domain in Dreamweaver. However, I have an urgent and immediate need and would like to know whether Dreamweaver can serve a specific purpose...
My question is whether I will still be able to accomplish the following (even if it is by different means) once I convert to Dreamweaver from FrontPage AND whether or not I should abolish all of the current files at my web server and remove FrontPage extensions before I invest any time into making Dreamweaver my new tool for website development and maintenance.
I have a domain hosted by GoDaddy and a rather old website that I created using FrontPage 2002 (on a Windows XP desktop). For over 5 years now, I've used FrontPage so that I can work WYSIWYG to generate HTML code that I use in my eBay auction listings. Recently, however, the "network folder" for my web server (on the Windows XP desktop) stopped accepting my password and I cannot find a fix for it. It's my opportunity to finally break from FrontPage but I'm hoping that, before I do, someone can tell me whether or not Dreamweaver can serve my interim and long-term purposes.
I've been uploading image files using the "network folder" in Windows XP that I set up with FrontPage over 5 years ago. I "drag and drop" or "cut and paste" image files from my computer to my web server in Windows Explorer via the "network folder". Once the images are on the web server, I open FrontPage and ensure that the images show up in my web server files. I then open an existing .html document that I have saved on my hard drive, replace text and images within the file, save the file under a different file name, and then switch to code view where I copy the code directly from FrontPage into my eBay listing. This works perfectly well and has for over 5 years. I do not publish these .html files to the web, nor do I upload the .html files to my web server. They exist only on my hard drive and simply to provide the underlying HTML code for the eBay listings and nothing more. This method allows the images in my eBay auctions to be automatically sourced to their location on my web server without requiring me to do anything more than insert the image(s) from my web server into the .html document/file.
I think I'm discovering that Dreamweaver works specifically with websites and I'm wondering whether I can use it more generically in this way. If I'm learning correctly, Dreamweaver is quite particular about web server files having an exact match to a root folder on my hard drive. I've defined my site within Dreamweaver and I've since downloaded all existing files from my web server to my hard drive within a folder that is designated as the root folder. However, when I now open an existing .html document (one originally created in FrontPage and stored on my hard drive only) and replace an image (by cutting the existing image and dragging the other from the "remote view" of the "files" pane) with one that exists both on my web server and in my root folder, Dreamweaver makes the source/reference path point to the image file on my hard drive and, as you know, that won't do if I transfer that code to my eBay listing. So I've uploaded the actual .html file to the web server within Dreamweaver (something that I never had to do with FrontPage) and now I can change the HTML code manually (or the source in the "properties" panel for the image) for the image source to include "http://mydomain/..." (it doesn't include that automatically as FrontPage did). That now seems to make the code work but I have to store my .html files on the server and I have to make that manual change.
My question is whether I will still be able to do accomplish the following (even if it is by different means) once I convert to Dreamweaver from FrontPage AND whether or not I should abolish all of the current files at my web server and remove FrontPage extensions before I invest any time into making Dreamweaver my new tool for website development and maintenance.
Thank you very sincerely for taking the time to read this and for your response and good advice!Get Turbo Lister (a free page editing and listing tool from eBay).
http://pages.ebay.com/turbo_lister/
eBay uses some seriously flawed markup on their auction pages. In fact, they don't even ALLOW you to use good code. You're better off using their proprietary tools for this. IMO, DW is not the right tool for creating eBay pages.
When you're ready to build a serious web site, come back to Dreamweaver.

Open letter to adobe: What future for Fireworks?
Open letter to adobe: What future for Fireworks?
Hello, My name is Fred and I'm a Fireworks user since ever.
I prefer to warn you about my complete addiction to this software.
There's many discussions on this forum and others, on how you deal with Fireworks "improvements". Some say that you are in the process of discontinuing this program, others of a possible resale ... I even read some arguments about switching to Creative Commons license.
All this is the literal translation of a sincere concern!
Can you give us some answers on the future of Fireworks?
I think our community is quite alive and active, so I hope that you'll respond in a clear, fast answer.
Thank you in advance.
If I made huge mistakes of spelling and grammar, I apologize.
English is not my language.From the looks of it, the writing is already on the wall. I own a Creative Cloud subscription and one of the main benefits touted for the Creative Cloud is regular updates and bug fixes. And every other app like Dreamweaver, Photoshop, Illustrator, Indesign, Bridge, Lightroom, the Edge Tools, etc. have seen multiple nice updates as part of the Creative Cloud subscription which has made me a big fan of Creative Cloud.
All except for Fireworks.
Not a single update or bug fix has occured for Fireworks in Creative Cloud. Even for the simplest of things. I have reported typos in Fireworks that still have not been fixed. In fact, I think the only app in Creative Cloud that has not been updated is Fireworks.
So like I said, it seems the writing is on the wall. It's a shame too because even with its lack of care, it works phenomenally well for designing user interfaces. But now others are starting to catch up and people seem to be switching to alternatives because Fireworks appears to be a dead end.
Without Fireworks, Adobe doesn't have a single UI design app in their portfolio and in particular it seems lots of UI designers are jumping ship now from Adobe to Bohemian Coding and their Sketch app. I'm dumbfounded that Adobe has allowed this to happen.
From what I understand, the Sketch app is created by just two people which makes the inability to keep Fireworks updated all the more baffling. -
Dreamweaver 8, html help + how to stop "styles"
I have and continue to encounter great frustration over 2 things I encounter when using Dreamweaver 8 which, I am sure, are very easily solved matters. In advance...I apologize for my ignorance and would appreciate any input provided:
1. I want to use Dreamweaver 8 to create HTML that I can paste into eBay ads. What emerges is HTML code by Dreamweaver that has no images appear because the image tags are: <img src="images/project/desiredimage1.jpg"> rather than whats needed,
full path, such as <img src="http://www.mywebsite.com/images/project/desiredimage1.jpg">
The result is that I have to copy and past the produced HTML into Open Office word processor, do "Find and Replace" ALL instances of img src="images with img src="http://www.mywebsite.com/images
What can I do to produce HTML code from within Dreamweaver that already has the full path to an image rather than just PART of the path to an image?
#2 is that when I make a webpage (or even just update a page in Dreamweaver) and I change the size or color of FONTS Dreamweaver applies a "STYLE" and number to that color and size of font so the result is HTML that is now, in places, got more HTML code preceeding text than any of you would probably believe + over 200 "Styles" created.
Questions are: Can I build a webpage without these "styles" being applied.... just alter a font and/or size color without my doing so result in absurd numbers of HTML style tags being pasted in front of a given area of text and is there any rescue for a page that NOW HAS hundreds of STYLES created in regards to that HTML document and literally is so replete with HTML coding
that its a nightmare
(example: <p align="left" class="style267"><strong><span class="style19"><span class="style54">text) and I can't even change stuff in some areas because the changes just don't take which I assume is due to the mountain of uneccessary HTML coding born of this use of "Styles" which I don't even need.
So...Bottom line is I just need to get Dreamweaver to produce HTML that has FULL image paths AND I need it to STOP with the "STYLES" tags....could it REALLY be that I am unable to change a font without this resulting in a new "STYLE" being created and an additional TAG for that new style being plastered before a line of text IN ADDITION to however many previous STYLE tags
already were THERE??!!??
Its really dreadful and the HTML of my webpage is a horror show....I think its LOST as in can't be saved...will have to be totally redone because of all the TAGS 90% of which don't need to be there. All thats needed is the most recent tag which corresponds to the latest font style, size color CHOSEN
Please help me to avoid this in the future and to be able make HTML that already has full paths to images.
Dayum even this forum is hard bcuz I had to come back in and edit so that scrolling wouldn't be necessary.....
to read my post!!!
This planet has definitely grown way complex REAL quickly1. For the image,why not type the full path into the link box in the property inspector
2. Those styles are appearing because you are styling the text via the property inspector. You need to create a stylesheet, and create all your styles into that and link to it within the document.

Can I do this with forms in Dreamweaver / Coldfusion
I'm looking to do the following:
Create a form for the end-user to fill out info such as name,
address, etc. and click submit. One field would contain a drop down
for inputing their region. (I know I can do that part.)
When the user click submits, I want the information entered
into a database, and at the same time have a particular staff
member notified, via e-mail that a new form has been filled out.
(The particular staff person wouldn't be dependent upon the region
selected.) In that e-mail, the staff person should get a link to
click on. When they click on the link I want for it to bring them
to a form that is prefilled with the info the end-user filled out,
along with a few more fields for comments, etc.
Then, that person would click submit after checking over the
form, and the final person in the chain would get an e-mail and
have an opportunity to review the data and add information in a
couple of more fields.
Is it possible to do this using Dreamweaver and Coldfusion?
I'd rather not spend a ton of time researching it if it isn't. If
it is possible, any pointers / tutorials would be greatly
appreciated.

Hi Glenn,
Everything you mentioned is absolutely possible. The problem
is that
everything you mentioned is a separate and distinct task that
you'll
need to manage. If you want to build applications like this,
it would
definitely be worth your while to do the research to make
this happen.
At the risk of promoting content I created, I've done some
ColdFusion
training for lynda.com for Dreamweaver 8 (this all still
applies to the
CS products) that would probably answer most if not all of
your questions.
http://www.lynda.com/go/course?id=184
If you'd rather do some reading, the CFWACK books are great
and very
in-depth:
http://tinyurl.com/54z4vm
I would definitely do yourself the favor of learning how to
do it right
in order to make this (and future jobs) smooth sailing.

Troubleshooting pop-up menu in Dreamweaver 8
Hello,
I'm using Macromedia Dreamweaver 8.
1. Created a pop-menu woith 6 items all linking to 6 different anchors in a different page.
2. The first 5 items work fine - they link up to the 5 anchors in the destination page.
3. The 6th item when clicked simply closes the pop-menu and does not link to the anchor in the destination page.
(Completely checked the anchor name and also tested that anchor by linking from a different page).
Please reply asap.Please see HTML Code below:
thanks
