Image links aren't updating from template

If I create a page from template, not all the image links are updating, more specifically, mouse over event links are not updating. Is there anything I need to change to get these links to change from the template? I'm using Dreamweaver CS6

<img src="../images/robin_tour_n.png"
onmouseover="this.src='../images/robin_tour_o.png'"
onmouseout="this.src='../images/robin_tour_n.png'" />
This part updates: <img src="../images/robin_tour_n.png"
But this part doesn't:
onmouseover="this.src='../images/robin_tour_o.png'"
onmouseout="this.src='../images/robin_tour_n.png'" />

Image Locations Change After Saving from Template

I am using DW CS5. I have made a Template using a dozen or so images. There are four in a side nav bar. When I create a new page (Page from Template), all my images and text show up fine with code like: <img src="images/wedding.jpg"/>. However the two of the four images in the nav bar show the code linking it to its place on my local drive. The other two work fine. I tried publishing the page and the code didn't change. No matter what I try the code will not update for those images.
Any help appreciated.

That worked for that page!
I am ready to make multiple pages from the template. Should I use a different method than "New Page from Template" since that doesn't seem to work properly? I don't want to have to manually apply the template to every page if I don't have to.
Thanks.

You can't use Flash's native format called .FLA to be loaded
on web server.
You need to export your work in Flash document to what is
called ".SWF" format, where you need to upload THAT .SWF file to
web server.
To work with Flash's native files, you need to have Flash app
installed on your machine. If you want to learn more about how to
work with Flash, you need to keep that topic related to Flash forum
- where you would get some better help in that forum for that
matter.
Good luck!

I still can't get my child document to update from template. What gives?

Hello,
Here is the document I'm trying to update: http://www.peterdanko.com/Eco-Eden.html
Here is my template: http://peterdanko.com/Templates/
Here is my stylesheet that is attached to the template: http://peterdanko.com/productpagecode.css
What I want to do is change just a little thing...the rules for
/**begin rules for the four link list**/ need to be changed to a three link list. Ok, here is my problem. No matter what I seem to do..and I have closely followed instructions from both the manual and Beth's suggestions and it is not working for me. I have tried many different settings and as far as I have gotten is to get this
/**#three-pop-up-link li {
margin-right: 20px;**/ to come up in the first list item, but it does not have an effect.
Also, I want to delete the onload info for the document that I made the template from, and I am unable to do that as well.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks for your help.
Peter

You are still clearly confused about how CSS relates to HTML. Let's try again....
This rule -
a { color:green; }
will make ALL links on the page, and all states of those links, turn green, including visited, hover, active, and focus.
These rules, in this order -
a { color:green; }
a { color:red; }
will make ALL links on the page, and all states of those links, turn red! Why? Because the later rule overrides the earlier one. That's how the cascade works.
These rules -
a { color:green; text-decoration:overline;}
a { color:red; }
will make ALL links on the page, and all states of those links, turn red AND have an overline as text decoration! Why? Again, because the cascade of those rules adds the overline style from the first rule even though the color from that rule is overridden.
I give you these examples to show how the cascade of CSS works, and to give you the sense that there is no relation between the order of the CSS, and the order of the HTML on the page.
Now - this rule -
#menu a { color:green; text-decoration:overline;}
will apply to ALL links within a container with an ID of 'menu', but to NO OTHER LINKS ON THE PAGE.
And this rule -
a.menu { color:green; }
will apply to all links that have been given a class of "menu" (e.g., <a class="menu"...), and only to those links.
So if you have a group of four links, and you only want to style three of them in a certain way, you could do this -
.no-center { text-align:left; }
and then in your HTML you would have
<a class="no-center"....
for that link that you wanted NOT to be centered.
Make sense?
I feel like we have built your whole site for you....

Image Deployment Changes Windows Update from Windows and MS Update to Just Windows Only

Before capturing an image I make sure that Windows update is set to update "Windows and other products from Microsoft Update". After and capturing and deploying the image I notice on the client machine it has been set to Windows only. There
is nothing in the TS that I know of that would switch this....I am not running any updates or anything in the TS. Anyone have any ideas on this? Thanks in advance

Sysprep changes this setting before the image is captured. This is normal behaviour.

MMS not displaying images (links aren't clickable either)

Sprint Pre v1.0.3 would display a clickable url link for received mms messages which would open the browser and take you to the picture mail. After updating to 1.3.1 and now to 1.3.5, the mms message would continue to show the url, but it's no longer clickable (plain text).
Any solution, or better, how to get pictures to show within message as other Pre/Pixi I've seen.
Thanks.
Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)

I would check with Sprint and make sure your network settings such as picture messaging is setup correctly for your account. I had an issue where I could receive text messages but could not send. I called them and they resolved the issue by changing the setting on my account on their side. If that does not resolve the issue then I suggest that you do a restart on your Pre if you have not already. If that does not work then you may need to do a partial/full erase on the device.
First thing though is since you are getting a link from sprint I'm siding this is a network issue first due to that. If you were not getting any pictures then it could be the network or the device.

Toggle between Web Items using an Image link in WAD 7.0

Hello,
i want to toggle between Web items using an image link: e.g. on my template I have a visible table and a hidden chart, now when I click on a small chart image I want the table to get hidden and the chart to get visible. I know that this is possible using a button group, but I need to make this possible using an image.
My approach is the following:
1. Using a script item with 2 commands of type SET_ITEM_PARAMETERS from the command wizard, from which one command hides the table and one command makes the chart visible.
2. Writing a hyperlink which calls up the script using the image as source.
Now my problem:
This works only if I'm using ONE command of type SET_ITEM_PARAMETERS in the script function. So I can either make the chart visible or hide the table. When I insert a second command in the java script nothing works anymore. However, I need to use both commands at once in order to make it useful. I don't know how to program in javascript, can you help me out?!
Thanks,
Norbert
PS: I could show you the javascript code which was created automatically by the web application designer including both commands, but as I've just seen it in the preview it looks totally messed up since it doesn't get formatted corrected.

Hi Norbert,
There is an easier approach. In the button group item, you can insert an image and a description. Just open the parameters of your button there you will find the parameter 'icon'. Insert an image there and leave the 'caption' empty.
Best regards,
Janine

Pathing for Image Links - CS5.5

Hi, we currently have out InDesign file in a folder which the name can change but within that folder we have a subfolder called images under we always have our images so our image links which get populated from XML data always point to file://images/imagename.eps so normally no problem finding links. What we are looking to do is have other subfolders with different InDesign files at same level as images subfolder but be able to utilize same images. Is there a way to point to these somehow without knowing the entire path, just being able to go back to the images subfolder which would be be up one level from actual InDesign file. I know on websites, we are able to do some ../ type of stuff which would handle that but never tried to do in InDesign. Thanks, Joe

Hi MissJB,
Please try downloading Dreamweaver CS5.5 from the Direct Download Links available at : http://prodesigntools.com/adobe-cs5-5-direct-download-links.html
But make sure you follow the important instructions on the page before initiating the download.

New From Template Changes Relative Links to Local Root?

Thank you for taking the time to read and understand my plight with Dreamweaver CS3 for Mac. I apologize for the lengthy question, but in the effort to provide detail I shall go. First the background:
I'm updating, editing, and appending an existing site that was previously created with Dreamweaver.
I'm new to Dreamweaver but have a pretty good understanding of things
I created a new site on the local drive on my MacBook Pro and then downloaded the entire site via FTP (live site: domain.com)
I then replicated the site and exact file structure using FTP to a staging server (staging.domain.com)
There are three existing .dwt templates. I've successfully updated the template file and auto updated all other pages that were based on this template.
But my problem comes from creating new pages FROM the template. It appears that while the .dwt template file shows relative links (../xxxx) in the code, when create a new file from the template the url of these links is replaced by the path to the file on my local drive... I want non of this (.../xxxx) is fine.
What is happening is that a javascript drop down menu is disappearing when I create new from template. I am assuming it's because of the path changes.
This is the ORIGINAL (good) code from the .dwt:

<tr>
     <td height="31">
          <table width="718" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
               <tr>
                    <td width="24"><img src="../images/L-Header-Corner.gif" width="30" height="50" border="0"></td>
                    <td width="342" style="background-image: url(../images/Header-BG.gif);"><img src="../images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="337" height="1" border="0"> </td>
But when I create a NEW page from the above template the code is changed to the local path:

<tr>
     <td height="31">
          <table width="718" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
               <tr>
                    <td width="24"><img src="file:///Grasshopper/Users/allan/Documents/clients/site/site staging master/images/L-Header-Corner.gif" width="30" height="50" border="0"></td>
                    <td width="342" style="background-image: url(file:///Grasshopper/Users/allan/Documents/clients/site/site staging master/images/Header-BG.gif);"><img src="file:///Grasshopper/Users/allan/Documents/clients/site/site staging master/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="337" height="1" border="0"> </td>
To be sure all links in the template file are changed too.
This is the .dwt file itself
This is a random page created from the above template.
And this page was created by simply altering the .dwt template file linked above and then SAVING AS. You can see the relative links remained and the navigation bar looks and operates as normal.
To provide easier visual reference I offer the following:
This is the .dwt file when opened in dreamweaver:
Note the black area where the javascript drop down menu is in the top navigation when the page is correct:
But when I create a NEW page from template this is what I get in the top navigation bar:
And then this is what it looks like when posted:
Ultimately what I'm trying to do is:
1) work on site files on my local drive
2) sync the local drive with staging.domain.com so my client can proof and approve
3) sync to the actual live site at domain.com
I assume I could simply do this by changing the ftp info and given the site structure and all files are same and ideally all links are relative this should be accomplished easily.
Though perhaps my problem stems from the fact my local site is buried several layers deep on my local drive Local Drive/Users/Me/Clients/Client.... etc... but I haven't checked this yet.

Great... Thanks for your patience....
Here are links to all questioned files on the staging server:
This is the .dwt file itself
This is a random page created from the above template that shows the image/navigation incorrect.
And this page was created by simply altering the .dwt template file linked above and then SAVING AS. You can see the relative links remained and the navigation bar looks and operates as normal. (obviously the wrong thing to do.
And this page is one that was created prior to my working on the site and was based on the subpage template and displays correctly.
Now bear with me here as I notice this behavour too.
In the code snipped taken directly from the DW .dwt template (linked above)
<td width="24"><img src="../images/L-Header-Corner.gif" width="30" height="50" border="0"></td>
                    <td width="342" style="background-image: url(../images/Header-BG.gif);"><img src="../images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="337" height="1" border="0"> </td>
you'll notice there are two images L-Header-Corner.gif and one that is Header.BG.gif.
The difference here is that the BG gif has a style attributed to it "Background-Image) which is followed by some strange code that says (url)../
Opening that file Background Image and it's a tiny slice of what I think is part of the entire missing gray bar:
In a page that displays correctly the code looks like this:
<td width="24"><img src="../images/L-Header-Corner.gif" width="30" height="50" border="0"></td>
                    <td width="342" style="background-image: url(../images/Header-BG.gif);"><img src="../images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="337" height="1" border="0"> </td>
And in a page that is displaying incorrectly the code appears like this:
<td width="24"><img src="../images/L-Header-Corner.gif" width="30" height="50" border="0"></td>
                    <td width="342" style="background-image: url(file:///Grasshopper/Users/allan/Documents/clients/koolfog/koolfog website staging/images/Header-BG.gif);"><img src="../images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="337" height="1" border="0"> </td>
So you can see that the link in this case (with the URL and style) has actually been converted to a site (my hard drive) relative link when saving.
So the pressing question stands: Why doesn't dreamweaver convert that URL link when saving a page created from a template back to the same directory?
Also, it appears that in that .DWT all the links have the leading periods and therefore are document relative... since I didn't set this up, how do you think this happened?

CSS for background image not transfering from template to new page

I have a gradient .gif in my templates which suddenly no longer transfers from the template to a new page created from the template. Everything else about the template transfers. I'm using Dreamweaver CS5 on a Mac running OS 10.6. I've pasted the CSS from the template and the new page below. I've tried the usual voodoo--restart program, restart computer, repair permissions, delete preference file, delete personal configuration file.
CSS from Template:
.container {
    background-color: #ececec;
    background-image: url(../images/faux_column.png);
    background-repeat: repeat-y;
    height: 650px;
    width: 650px;
CSS from page created from Template looks to be the same, but is greyed out in the code, and the background-image entry is not present in the CSS styles inspector:
.container {
    background-color: #ececec;
    background-image: url(../images/faux_column.png);
    background-repeat: repeat-y;
    height: 650px;
    width: 650px;
Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

Unfortunately, I don't yet have a site where I can post the page. I'm new to this, and doing everything locally for now.
After careful rechecking, I found that the links for the template and the child were not the same, as you suspected. So I carefully changed the links to site root relative, which worked for the background CSS in my test image. I then did the same for all of the links to pages on my site, and checked that all were OK with Link Checker in DW. I guess that was a mistake, because now most of them don't work when tested in Firefox--I get the message File not found. Must be doing something wrong.

When I update my template my other pages aren't updating

Why are my pages not updating when I update my
template?

Here are seven common mistakes that will result in changes
not propagating
from Template to child -
1. Rename the Templates folder
2. Move the Templates folder to some other folder level in
the site other
than root level
3. Move a template out of the Templates folder.
4. Make changes to an editable region of the template (which
will not
propagate)
5. Assume that template changes can be uploaded to the server
without also
uploading the changed local files
6. Corrupt the site cache so that the link between template
and child page
is broken
7, Improperly create your child pages by simply opening the
template,
adding page specific content, and resaving the template with
an *.html
extension rather that its *.dwt extension. (you can tell if
this is the case
by looking at the code on a child page - if you see anything
like <!--
TemplateBeginEditable... then this is what you have done)
The 6th problem can be repaired by using SITE | Advanced >
Recreate Site
Cache, and the six others can be fixed by just not doing
them. Have you
done any of those?

Update Pages from template CS6 not working

I have just begun to create a website and as yet only have four pages each created from a template. When I add a menu item to the Spry Menu Bar in the template this appears to be successful. However,when I try to update the pages created from the modified main template the log file reports:
Files examined 4
Files updated 0
Files which could not be updated 0
the settings are for "Files that use ... main template, and the Templates box is ticked. All that pages I want to update are also listed when I try to update them. It's just that they're not getting updated. Has anybody got any suggestions as to where I am going wrong? Thanks.

im having a similar issue...updated our template many times before and had dw update the pages and pages are not updating...even when dw says its been updated!! starting to loose my mind a little as dw checked out 80% of the pages on our site, but did not update.
strange thing is when i open up the individual pages i can change the bit in the template that should not be editable. looked at the template and cannot figure out what happened.
our website is www.whitewatertours.com and it is the index.dwt template...changing the "reservations" link in the top bar nav.
thxs for any help

I updated from Windows 8.0 to Windows 8.1 and ever since Firefox has run somewhat strangely. In particular when on sites with a lot of images like Facebook,etc

Hello, I am writing as I am experiencing some issues with my favorite web browser after updating to Windows 8.1. Here are some details. I updated from Windows 8.0 to Windows 8.1 and ever since Firefox has run somewhat strangely. In particular when on sites with a lot of images like Facebook. It is like there is some kind of Flikr effect between the desktop and the images and between the images and the browser (almost like old 16 bit video games flikering). It is not too bad but it is an issue. I have tried resetting firefox and restarting the computer. I haven't tried a repair, and I haven't done an uninstall yet.

thank you for helping, the issue seems to have been caused by the hardware accelerator

Converting image links from Word to PDF

If I insert a picture into a Word file (Insert/Picture From File), select the picture and Insert/Hyperlink and then Convert to Adobe PDF, the hyperlink is still active in the pdf file as expected (Add Links is checked in the conversion settings).
However, if I do the same but apply any layout options to the picture before attaching the hyperlink (e.g. Format Picture/Layout/Square text wrapping), Convert to PDF does not convert the link into the pdf file and the image appears as if no link had ever been set.
Does anybody know of a solution to this problem? Or is Acrobat 9 any better? I am curently using Word 2000 and Acrobat 6 running on XP

Thanks for the reply.
I have already inserted the links within the pdf, so I do have a working document. It is only a draft, though, and any subsequent editing requires going back to the original Word document, editing and converting again to pdf and then re-establishing the links - with over 30 images (linked to pre-exixting pdf documents) this last step is both tedious and error-prone! Thanks for the warning re Acrobat 9 and Word 2000. I had been thinking of upgrading ...
Mike
