ImageReady and Dreamweaver together?
I have built pages in ImageReady (with roll-overs). Can they
easily be worked with in Dreamweaver?
And a bonus question - How can I set a web page to display at
a fixed, specific pixel dimension with no browser navigation
options?
Thanks. I'm re-working my website after neglecting it for
three years and can't remember how to do these things!

Let's just deal with the bonus question first. You cannot
reliably do
this. Web pages don't have a specific size and modern
browsers ignore
attempts to "lock" the size of the browser window.
Now, for the first question. Because of the answer to the
bonus
question, pages created in an image editor, like PhotoShop,
ImageReady,
or Fireworks, almost always assume a fixed canvas. Because
you cannot
guarantee the canvas size, pages created in image editors
usually fall
apart rather easily and are usually very rigid designs that
are almost
impossible to debug.
That said, Dreamweaver is just an HTML editor. It can edit
properly
formed HTML regardless of what program created it. You will,
however,
find one problem after another as you attempt to maintain
such a site.
If you want to build stable pages that can be easily
maintained, you'll
need to take a little time to learn a bit about HTML and CSS
and build
your pages in Dreamweaver instead of relying on some wizard
in an image
editor.

Does anyone know a resolution for the following: I make
changes to a file in Imageready and then select Update HTML and
select the HTMLfile I need to update. The problem is that all my
links that I have created in Dreamweaver get overwritten every
time. Is there a way to update the HTML file without losing the
Dreamweaver links every time? This is a real pain. If someone has
an answer or maybe a different way of updating the HTML , it would
be much appreciated!!!
Thanks

The best advice I can give you is to *not* create a page the
way you are
currently doing so. It is always best to slice your images
and export then
individually and then build the page yourself in DW. HTML
generated by a
graphics program is terribly rigid and inflexible and the
code can become
very bloated.

Zend Studio and Dreamweaver - together?
This is probably a good question for David Powers.
Will Zend Studio mix well with DW in a development environment (say the way BBEdit, etc. does)?
I'm hoping to enhance the PHP side of things, learn a bit about the Zend Framework but continue with DW as my primary tool. In other words utilize a number of these tools on the same project. At the least I would think the Zend editor would be helpful for even simple bits of PHP code edits?
Thanks for any feedback.I use Zend Studio in conjunction with Dreamweaver quite well. Zend Studio is brilliant for intellisense code hints for PHP variables. It's also got wonderful code hinting, not only for built-in functions, but also for custom-built ones too. It also shines with code hints for custom and built-in PHP classes. On the other hand, it's rotten for HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Moreover, it doesn't have the Design view or Live View features of DW.
When doing heavy PHP coding, it's Zend Studio for me all the way. For HTML and CSS, not forgetting Dreamweaver's PHP server behaviors, Dreamweaver wins hands down.
Now, if either ZS or DW could do both... -
Fireworks and dreamweaver issue. How they work seamlessly?
Hi, I am new to these programs.
I am trying to make a website using fireworks and
dreamweaver. I've made my navigation area and headline in fireworks
(simple navigation on left side and header on top). When I export
this to dreamweaver, I am unable to make text etc in the blank area
(main body content area) because as soon as I start typing,
dreamweaver moves my navigation around because I think it is
somehow linked to the main body area?
I think I am missing a crucial step in this process.
How do I use fireworks and dreamweaver seamlessly to allow me
to edit body content of my pages, and not have it change anything
on my navigation area?firebat99 wrote:

Here's a really good article on how to use Fireworks and
Dreamweaver
together.

Anyone Using Dreamweaver and iWeb together?
Hi,
I have an existing site which was done with iWeb.
I'm now trying to replace some of the pages with pages created in Dreamweaver.
I've come up with a couple of options on how to make both tools work nicely together but, I'd like to see how others have done this.
Thanks in advance.I don't think many people will be doing this - you need to make the decision to use either iWeb or Dreamweaver, but not both.
When an iWeb site is imported or opened with Dreamweaver, the results won't always look the same because of the way iWeb code is created - there is lots of it.
I don't think that you'll find that many people using Dreamweaver on this forum, as it is an iWeb forum and Dreamweaver is a steep learning curve, especially if you have no html experience - that is why most people use iWeb in the first place.
You won't find much here! -
When are InDesign and Dreamweaver going to be able to work together?
So here we are at CS6, and you STILL can not copy text out of InDesign, paste it into Dreamweaver, and have basic formatting carry over. I can copy text from InDesign and paste it into Microsoft Word, and the formatting gets retained. I can copy text out of Word and paste it into Dreamweaver, and the formatting gets retained. How many years are we going to wait for this basic productivity feature to exist between InDesign and Dreamweaver??
If you export to HTML from InDesign you don't get text with basic formatting tags on it. Try exporting a sentence of text with a word bolded in the middle of it, and this is what you get:
<p class="x01-text"><span class="char-style-override-1">this is some </span><span class="char-style-override-2">text </span><span class="char-style-override-1">here</span></p>
That's completely useless. It should look like this:
<p>this is some <b>text</b> here</p>
Plus, all you have to do in Dreamweaver is select "Text with structure and basic formatting" in the Copy/Paste preferences and you don't get all the junk when copying from Word. You get HTML that looks exactly what I enter above: just basic formatting.
PLUS, I don't want to have to create a temporary file for each bit of text I want to copy out of InDesign, then open that file in Dreamweaver and copy the text from there. I want to copy once, and paste once. -
Photoshop CS3 / ImageReady and Slices
Mac OSX
We've upgraded to CS3 and it has absorbed ImageReady which is most unfortunate. I use ImageReady to copy slices from one psd to another. I've searched quite a bit to see how to do this in CS3 but haven't had any luck. Do you have any ideas?
I work on homepages that contain upwards of 30 slices. On every homepage (2-3+ a week) there is some content that can be reused and the slices need to stay in the same place in case there are changes done by a designer.
What I do in ImageReady CS2 is get the slices the correct dimensions for one homepage. Then I select all slices and copy. Then on a second homepage with no slices I am able to paste slices in to it so I wind up with two different psd files with the exact same slices done from copy/paste.
Now we have upgraded to CS3 and ImageReady is no more. I have tried to copy slices from one psd to another but when I do that it brings in the slice layer with it. I only need the slice transferred. I'm trying to avoid having to reslice homepages into 30 slices that I could easily do with a simple copy/paste.
Does that make sense? Any suggestions? I currently have CS2 (solely for ImageReady) and CS3 installed on a Mac Mini and they aren't playing well together, I get lots of crashes and our IT guy thinks this is why.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!Anne,
Sorry for being so flustered and not providing details.
Here are the reasons why your methods don't solve some of our problems, not that anyone is going to come back here to to try to help but in case you do:
And I've done some digging.
Copying and pasting creates a new layer, now why in the world would photoshop create a new layer if I'm copying and pasting a slice? Maybe I'm still not getting it.
Ok well there's this menu item under 'Layer' called 'create a layer based slice' (or something like that). Great, is this the answer to all of my problems? Well, only if you ever work with one slice per PSD and even then it doesn't copy over export settings. Well, I have maybe 20 to 30 at any given time. Try doing that 'create a layer based slice' with more than once slice copied over and you'll get one giant slice. Fail!
And the suggestion about firing up imageready? Well I have to do it by necessity, can I get my money back? Of course imageready would be running under rosetta and thus under emulation and would not be as zippy as cs3 but I guess those are the breaks.
I'll still use cs3 for print work but I really hope the open source alternatives step up soon.

Getting started with CF10 and Dreamweaver
I'm trying to get some HS students started on CF10 and Dreamweaver (used together). Back in the day, Macromedia had an awesome little tutorial that showed how to get everything all set up and program a simple web app. Can anyone point me to a similar tutorial for CF10 and Dreamweaver. I've tried to get started but seem to get errors on every step (for example it won't let me use an Access database). My preference is to use Dreamweaver to write a lot of the code (initially).
Thanks for any help people can provide,

Phonegap and Dreamweaver CS6 doesn't work
Phonegap and Dreamweaver have never worked together for me. With CS5.5 I was never able to build anything with Phonegap and Dreamweaver. I was hoping that with CS6 and Adobe's aquistion that Phonegap might acually work with Dreamweaver, not so. Any time I try and build Phonegap with Dreamweaver CS6 I get the following error:
>After a long Time (more than 1 minute) i have the same message as Colorado saying "trouble with ours servers...".
I was selecting "create new project" from the select dropdown menu and then pressing next.
>After the error message i cant try a second Time because the dropdown select and the continue button are disabled.
>i'm sure i have try without Any protection activated (antivirus, antimalware, firewall disabled during last try). Tommorow i Will try on my Mac (love Cs cloud ;-) ) on order to know if the problem Come from my computer.
UPDATE [resolved]:
- working on my mac
- and then working on my PC after dreamwaever ask my phonegap login/password.
> suggestion: i link my phonegap account and my adobeID account after i was logged in dreamweaver. Maybe the login information in dreamweaver wasn't up to date -
Problems with slicing from Imageready to Dreamweaver
Hello
I am currently designing my first website using Imageready CS
& Dreamweaver 8. For all the hurdles it has been a fun
experience & I still have much to learn. My coding skills are
very basic so I have taken a graphic approach. After browsing many
forums this appears to be the wrong approach. Anyways, on to my
problem...
I designed my homepage in photoshop, transferred to
imageready & sliced it up. I have 2 navigation menus; 1) at the
top horizontally under my banner 2) vertically along the left side.
Each navigation menu has individual buttons with simple rollover
states created in imageready. I optimized the images, & then
exported the images & html to a designated file. Onto
dreamweaver...
I opened my html file and it appears just fine in dreamweaver
& when tested in browsers. However, I have 2 small "no image"
slices that I use for inserting text. I then test the page in
firefox & netscape, and as soon as I hit ctrl + to enlarge
text, the text expands vertically just fine but it creates a few
large white spaces between some buttons on my left navigation
menu... Any idea why this is happening? How can I stop this from
happening? I know this is a vague question but any assistance would
be appreciated. Thanks!It is hard for me to read html source code here. It would be
a lot easier if you post a link to page.
As for ImageReady html source code imported into Dreamweaver,
it is kinda of tricky thingy. If you understand how HTML/CSS work,
then you'll figure it out just fine. But I take that you are new to
HTML/CSS, right? It is ideally a good time for you to get a good
book about HTML/CSS, where there are plenty of great books related
to Dreamweaver 8 books at Barnes Noble bookseller stores.
ON EDIT: The more comfortable you feel by working with
HTML/CSS, the more feel you eventually in time. As time goes, more
"hands on" approach and experience working with HTML, it gets
easier. So, I normally like to place image files on my web pages
manually by hand coding. I find that easier.
Also, there are pretty much self-explanatory fundamentals of
HTML/CSS through Dreamweaver Developer Center right here at Adobe
website. Go through Developer page, and there are lot of links on
right side of your browser. Once you are on Dreamweaver Developer
Center, there are more detailed, specific links such as HTML or CSS
or other topics that might be of an interest to you.
I take that you are developing your first website, as you
figure, it is time consuming at first. It is what it is
expected. -

I have a ipod shuffle synced to a desktop (ver 9), I have a new laptop and downloaded itunes (ver 10.7). When i plug the ipod in the new laptop it wants to delete my songs. How do i use my new alptop and ipod together?
Your iPod is designed to sync with only one iTunes library at a time. It will recognize the iTunes library on the PC as a new library. If you sync the iPod with this new library, all content will be erased from the iPod and replaced with what is in the new library. So what you will want to do is copy everything from the iPod to your new iTunes library on your PC first.
See this excellent user tip from another forum member turingtest2 outlining the different methods and software available to help you copy content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.
