How to Stop Dreamweaver CC Obtrusive Dialogs

Issue: Dreamweaver dialogs (e.g. search, background activity, search) always remain on top of the GUI stack on Mac.
Description: While I'm waiting for files to upload/download, I often wish to browse the Internet or work in another application. Unfortunately, Dreamweaver's Background Activity Window insists on being on top obscuring the browser requiring me to move or collapse it every time. Same for other dialogs, such as Dreamweaver's search box. This is a change from earlier versions of DW and very annoying. I'm hoping there's a way to shut this off.

Sounds like you would enjoy some more screen real estate.
Is it time to consider an additional monitor? They're quite inexpensive now.

How to stop Dreamweaver overwriting my page declarations

Sorry to bring this one up again because I thought I got a successful answer but it seems not.
I'm using Dreamweaver's template system and I'm encountering a mind blowing problem. When I make any global changes to my site Dreamweaver defaults all my page declarations.
EG. I manually set a pages declaration to:
<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="someCodeBehind.aspx.cs" Inherits="_Default" %>
And after a global change is made this is defaulted back to:
<%@ Page Language="C#" ContentType="text/html" ResponseEncoding="utf-8" %>
Causing major problems.
In the past somebody on this forum advised I wrap the declaration in all the templates as follows:
@@('<%@ Page Language="C#" ContentType="text/html" ResponseEncoding="utf-8" %>')@@
Which, in theory, should cause Dreamweaver to ignore the declarations when a global change is made and leave my website page declarations untouched.
Unfortunately this is not the case and Dreamweaver is still trashing them.
This is pretty monster urgent and I would be extremely grateful if anybody could suggest a way to stop Dreamweaver undoing my work.
Big thanks in advance,
@ndy.

Found the answer, if anybody is interested.
To stop Dreamweaver automatically defaulting your page directives when a template roles out a global change simply put a comment line after your page directive with in your web page, not the master .dwt. No need to set codeOutsideHTMLIsLocked to true or anything.
EG:
<%@ Page Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="someCodeBehind.aspx.cs" Inherits="_Default" %>
<%--'comment--%>
For some reason this stops Dreamweaver from touching the directive.
Go figure..!?!?!?!?
Hope this helps someone out in the future.

Using Spry how to stop Dreamweaver CS3 from Changing Code

Hi
I am using Dreamweaver CS3 to build/maintain a website www.ghoter.net. I started using Spry to insert data from an xml file as I need the data in the xml file to show up on several different pages, includeing the home page. The data in the xml file changes from time to time. This is working wery well. But I am having a problem with Dreamweaver automaticly changing a line of code in the html files every time I make a change to the html file. The line of code that is being changed is in the head of the program.
This is the line of code that is being changed: The xml's name is data-3.xml The date from the xml file goes at the top of the left collumn.
The good code is: var ds1 = new Spry.Data.XMLDataSet("data-3.xml", "customers/customer",{distinctOnLoad:true});
The above line of code is automaticly being changed to this below, which does not work:
var ds1 = new Spry.Data.XMLDataSet("data-3.xml", "customers/customer",<MM:BeginLock translatorClass="MM_SPRY" type="MM_SPRY_DATA_REFERENCE" orig="{distinctOnLoad:true}" ><MM_DYNAMIC_CONTENT DYNAMICDATA=1><MM:DECORATION HILITECOLOR="Dyn Untranslated Color">{distinctOnLoad:true}</MM:DECORATION></MM_DYNAMIC_CONTENT></script><MM:EndLock>);
I can replace the bad line of code with the good code just befor saving the html file and the good line of code will be saved with the file and the web page works as it should.
Any help would be appricated. Thanks
Jack Burn

Hi Jack,
I think (not sure though) that the Library Item is causing the problem. I never use the Library Item because server side includes are far more efficient and need less maintenance.
Have a look here http://foundationphp.com/tutorials/sprymenu/ssi.php
If you have PHP serverside scripting language, use DW to add serverside includes using PHP.
Getting back to your original problem, try without the Library Item and see if DW still changes the code.
I hope this helps.

How to stop Dreamweaver Tabs from moving after restart?

Hello.
I am a PHP developer, and I find that tabs in Dreamweaver 8
are very useful. Right now I have about 30 files, mostly PHP, some
HTML and CSS open in tabs.
I love the ability to move the tabs around all the time, as I
see fit.
However, one of the wost things I find about Dreamweaver 8
is, once you close it and start it next time, and tabs are all
jumbled up in the order they were opened, rather than in the order
they were left at.
Is there any way to prevent this jumbling up of tabs?
Thanks.

Those tabs represent the documents you have open currently.
As you open a
new document, it gets a new tab. You cannot move them, nor
can you preserve
them from one session to the next, other than by opening the
same documents
again in the same order (you can do this automatically with
PREFERENCES |
General > Reopen Documents on startup.

Stop dreamweaver using split view

Hi all,
I love the fact that dreamweaver CS4 shows included files such as a style sheet when I open the main HTML file, anyone know how to stop dreamweaver using split view when I click on one of these included files? I never use / like split view.
Thanks

That's correct Brad.
Thanks for the tips, especially right clicking to open as a separate file!
I never noticed that it was only splitting the screen when I was in design view.
I do actually use code view more than anything, I write PHP in dreamweaver and that is why I was getting annoyed, sometimes I can have several files included in a single PHP page, and flicking through them was getting annoying if the screen auto split .
I actually discovered vertical split view and I like it a lot! Works really well on my dual monitor setup;code view on the left monitor, design view on the right.
Still think there should be an option to disable auto split.

How to stop the Dialog from being dragged

I was hoping that someone could tell me when calling a Dialog from Jframe, a how to stop the Dialog from being dragged
while a dialog is showing.
When it is visible I can still click and drag the Dialog
I want to set it so you can not drag it until the dialog has be closed.

If you don't have access to the parent frame, a "hack" that usually works:
Frame frame = Frame.getFrames()[0];
if (null != frame && frame instanceof JFrame){
JFrame jf = (JFrame)frame;
JDialog jd = new JDialog(jf, "title");
... code here ...
As each JFrame (or Frame) is opened, its stored in the array of Frames that you can get. Same thing with Dialog.getDialogs(). Almost always, at least so far for me I've never had this problem, the [0] index is the main window opened, or the parent/top frame. I'd put the check in there to be safe and make sure its a JFrame and usually you'll only have the one JFrame.

How to stop modal blocking in adf dialogs?

How to stop modal blocking in adf dialogs?
blocking="false" has no effect.
<af:commandLink id="showRequestDetail"
action="dialog:guide.sa_requestDetail" partialSubmit="true"
actionListener="#{shareAccessRequestDetail.load}"
useWindow="true" blocking="false" immediate="true">

Scratch that...useWindow was there -- it just wasn't popping a window when a non-dialog action was specified.
<af:commandLink action="userDetail" partialSubmit="true"
windowHeight="600" windowWidth="500" actionListener="#{userDetail.load}"
useWindow="true">
<af:outputText value="#{row.Efirstname}"/>
</af:commandLink>
The above code does not pop a new window despite the fact that useWindow is true.

How can I stop Dreamweaver from inserting spaces after variables?

How can I stop Dreamweaver from inserting spaces after
variables?
Example:
"...write to you@ and ..."
is changed by DreamWeaver to
"...write to you@

and...>
When saving or doing other editing, DreamWeaver adds a space
and a line break before and after the variable. The line break
isn't hard and doesn't show, but the spaces added before and after
the variable DO show in browsers. That looks rather stupid and
incompetent, and requires hand editing on the server after
uploading.
Line wrap and code formatting are turned off.
Is manual correction after uploading the only solution to
this problem?
Thanks
DearWebby

DearWebby,
We already discussed this offline, but I want to post the fix
here for
the sake of posterity:
1. Edit > Tag Libraries
2. Open HTML Tags folder
3. Select "directive" folder icon (not really a folder)
4. Change Line breaks: setting to "No line breaks"
5. Click OK
HTH,
Randy

How to stop prompts in Dreamweaver CS3?

Hello,
I am using Dreamweaver CS3 with Windows XP. I want to stop Dreamweaver from prompting me everytime I use the image hotspot feature. I have a ton of hotspots I need to place and I don't like the extra step of clicking that prompt off.
I have searched help, the forums and google with no results. Is this possible to stop this prompt?
Thanks,
Sharon

ALT attributes on images/hotspots are necessary for good web accessibility. Your code won't be valid without them.

If you don't care, go to Edit > Preferences > Accessibility, de-select images.

External Hard Drives - how to stop LR3.3 wanting to import.

I have 3 external hard drives which I use for backing up pictures and other folders. Whenever I plug one of them in, LR opens the Import dialog, even though I have auto import switched off. It's not serious, but it is annoying! Can anyone tell me how to stop it doing this?

Try the following:
In <My Computer> right-click the external drive, in the dialog box click on <Properties>, and on the <Autoplay> tab. Select <Pictures> and Make <Select an Action to perform> active by clicking on the radio button. Scroll down the list and make sure that <LR import photos> is NOT selected. Or select <Take no action>.

How to stop content from enlarging?

Hello, I'm having some problems with viewing my page in a
browser. In the dreamweaver screen, the images and tabels are
clear, but when I save and view in browser form, the images are
expanded and grainy. Anyone know how to stop this?
Thanks!

Sounds like you have some code errors. The only way to
identify the complete
fix is for you to upload the page along with all its
supporting files and
then post a link.
