Invisible Tables In Dreamweaver CS3

Hello – I’m having a problem accessing the proper table in Dreamweaver CS3. In the past I never had a problem with this now all of a sudden I cannot figure out what I did to change this setting. I want my tables without borders, which I have achieved by setting it to zero border… however it now completely disappears from the page while I’m working on it and I have nothing to define my table. In the past when working with zero borders it would still define the structure of the table but wouldn’t appear when published on the web. I went into view / visual aids / and checked table borders and still nothing. How can I view my table boundaries while working with no border? For years I had no problem with this and now I’m really puzzled as to what I have done to change the setting. Please, if anyone can help I’d appreciate it.

Even with a black background, you should be able to see the dotted lines surrounding a table.
I just tested with a black background with Visual Aids> table borders turned on and could see the outline, and then turned the borders off, and then I certainly couldn't a thing :-)
Sounds like something's broken in DW...if DW starts to act a bit weird- this frequently means you may have a corrupt personal configuration folder.
Close Dreamweaver, locate the personal configuration folder, and rename it.
When you restart Dreamweaver, it should create a new configuration folder with all the program defaults.
For details of how to find the configuration folder, see this page in the Dreamweaver FAQ
Hopefully this will fix the problem for you.

Dreamweaver CS3 - Layers?

I have a site designed with Graphic Nav Buttons and Drop Down
menus built in Fireworks CS3, then imported into a Table in
Dreamweaver CS3. This navigation physically resides in a table
above a table that holds a Flash movie below it.
http://www.builtcreative.com/NewBernTours/htdocs/NBT_MainTemplate.htm
Here's the Problem. The menus show up BEHIND the Flash movie
in Internet Explorer or Firefox for Windows, but show up fine in
Safari and Firefox on a Mac running Panther or Leopard. When I
substitute a JPEG, GIF or PNG for the Flash Movie instead of the
.swf, the menus show up fine in both platforms. Is this a Layers
issue, and if so, how the heck do I use them in CS3? If its a Flash
thing, how do I rectify the issue?
Any help would be most appreciated.
Thanks,
Shane

This is a Flash issue. By default it is set to jump to the
forefront. Check out the links I gave to someone else in this other
post yesterday. Even though they are talking about the Spry menus,
the same editing of the Flash will hold true for you.

Table Disappears in Dreamweaver CS3

I am trying to update some pages that I did not create and
that were not created in Dreamweaver. When I open the page in DW,
the table with the text does not show up. Everything works fine
when viewing in IE.
This is the page:
http://vzoners.com/secondkingdom/sktravelersfaire/friday.html
This is what I get when I open it in Dreamweaver CS3:
DW PIC
I really would rather be able to update in Design view, so if
anyone can help I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks!
Debbie

> When I open the page in DW, the table with the text

look in code view in dw.
see all the yellow highlighted tags?
start here around line 113
<tr>
<th align="center">Time</td>
<th align="center">Game</td>
<th align="center">Host</td>
<th align="center">Locale</td></tr>
change to:
<tr>
<th align="center">Time</th>
<th align="center">Game</th>
<th align="center">Host</th>
<th align="center">Locale</th></tr>
around line 135, same issue. wrong closing tag.
keep going- after fixing the wrong closing tags, click back
in design view,
then look back in code view to find the next set of
improperly closed tags.

I am trying to reinstall Dreamweaver CS3 from the CD after having computer issues. Now getting error "You can only install one Adobe product at a time. Please complete the other installation before attempting to install ......." There is no other Adobe product installing. I have used the Adobe Cleaner Tool many times and uninstalled other Adobe Products but neither has worked. I have uninstalled/reinstalled this CD version of Dreamweaver several times when changing computers and after having computer issues. A google search of the problem suggested it may be an error related to the number of times I can reinstall this product due to licensing issues. Please help.

A google search of the problem suggested it may be an error related to the number of times I can reinstall this product due to licensing issues.
Absolutely not. You are misinterpreting things. The activation check never happens when just running the installer, only much later. It means what it says - there is another "install" pending/ active on your system, meaning somewhere there is an (invisible) process still blocking things. Either way, since you haven't provided any real technical info, we can't advise specifically. if you are on Windows, you may want to check your task manager and terminate any setup.exe and msiexec.exe processes plus potentially may need to manually fix/ delete some registry keys. For anything beyond that you will have to be much more specific.

Cannot see web photo gallery in design in dreamweaver cs3

have made web photo gallery in PS- opens in browser- opens in
dreamweaver cs3- I can see the code all OK can view again in
browser--But I cannot see the thumbnails or tables-yet I know its
there hidden?--How can I make it all visible

Cindy:
If you dig really deeply (10 levels down!) in your Library folder you will find the templates for the new Bridge Galleries. You can also use the Lightroom templates in Bridge CS4.
Library/Applications Support/Adobe/Bridge CS4 Extensions/Adobe output Module/mediagallery/resources/templates/07lightroomgallery/styles
I duplicated one of the enclosed Styles and dragged it to the Desktop;
opened it in GoLive (because I like the way that GL displays html code although any text editor will do);
edited the code to give me the background colors, text and image frames that I wanted; and Saved the file with a new but similar name (starting with next two digits in the series and with the .xml suffix) in the same location as the original.
And it works!
You may be able to put your existing templates in the appropriate areas.
Or, you could install the Optional Plug-ins which let you use the Photoshop/File/Automate
web galleries and put your old templates wherever you kept them for CS3.
WARNING:
You should be perfectly safe doing this but if you screw-up CS4 and have to re-install it I accept no responsibility!!!!!!!

Errors when trying to INSERT Dreamweaver CS3 ASP scripts into MySql

Greetings everyone,
I am hoping that someone can shed some light on an issue I have not been able to solve in the last few days. I have a website that I had built using Ultradev, then MX then CS3, using the default ASP scripts in dreamweaver and an odbc connection to an Access Database. Everything had been working fine for the last couple of years until recently where more people were visiting my site which resulted in the slowness because i was using access. I decided to move to a MySql database and that is when I ran into issues. I was able to solve most everything accept for one issue I am having. I was hoping it would be an easy transition by changing the ODBC connections but it has not been that easy. Any page I have with an INSERT command using the default Dreamweaver CS3 ASP script results in an error. Now I can query and delete and search with no problem...it is just the INSERT that is giving me issues. Here is just a general insertion script that CS3 does by default....
<%

If (Not MM_abortEdit) Then
' execute the insert
Dim MM_editCmd
Set MM_editCmd = Server.CreateObject ("ADODB.Command")

MM_editCmd.CommandText = "INSERT INTO commenthot (yeshot, userhot) VALUES (?, ?)"
MM_editCmd.Prepared = true

Is there a special setting on the MySql that I should know about to allow data to be inserted? Any help would GREATLY appreciated!
Thank you!

Thanks for your reply!
When it was in Access...the datatype was Text. I used a 3rd party software to convert Assess directly to my hosting MySql server. When I logged in to see the table in MySql, it is set to Varchar(3) for yeshot and Varchar(30) for userhot. There is also an extra field I used for the KEY called commentID which is set to int(11) and it is autonumbered. Under the Collation i have utf8_general_ci set on the yeshot and userhot field. Null is No on both and the Default is set to None and all 3 fields.
I have a form I am collecting that data from which is:
<% If (langname.Fields.Item("langname").Value)="FR" Then
         response.write("OUI!")
         else
         response.write("YES!")
         End if %>
<input name="yeshotf" type="radio" id="yeshotf" value="1" checked>
                            <span class="style10">
                            <input name="submit" type="submit" id="submit" value="VOTE!">
                            </span> -
<input name="yeshotf" type="radio" id="yeshotf" value="2">
                            <% If (langname.Fields.Item("langname").Value)="FR" Then
         response.write("NON!")
         else
         response.write("NO!")
         End if %>

                            <input type="hidden" name="MM_insert" value="form1">
                          <input type="hidden" name="hdwfail" id="hdwfail" value="sexyoupasvote.asp?langname=<%=(langname.Fields.Item("langname").Value)%>&membernam e=<%=(hotornot.Fields.Item("membername").Value)%>&hdwmsg=invalid">
</form>
....the form has 2 radio button and 1 hidden field where I collect the username. The radio value should either be a 1 or a 2 depending on the selection by the user. I also have a captha on the form but that does not seem the cause any problem since I am not collecting any data from it. Does this help? I left the yeshot field as Text but I can change that to Numeric data... again thanks for your assistance in helping me try to figure this out.
...The message I am getting now is:

No Tables in DW CS3 Remote MySQL Connection

Hello All,
I was hoping forum members would be able to troubleshoot a
Dreamweaver CS3/remote MySQL Connection issue I'm having.
I am successful in connecting to the database but the table
data I created in phpMyAdmin 2.6.3 does not appear in the
Application/Databases menu in DW. Instead of the name of the table,
I get "none".
Since I am new to databases, any help is greatly appreciated.
I did view older posts before submitting this one but the advice
recommended (re-installing the entire MySQL application from
scratch) is not an option. Server is SunOS running PHP 4.4.7 and
MySQL 2.0.20. I'm on Windows XP. Thanks once again.

Was this issue resolved?
I have the same problem now. DW was working fine the one day and the next when I started it it had this connection problem.
I am testing on my local PC. My sites is at http://localhost/
All my connection are working because if I go to http://localhost/index.php I can see my site and if I go to http://localhost/register.php I can even register a new user. It will include the new user details in the data base and everything is working fine. So there is nothing wrong with the connection.
In DW I do have http://localhost/ on the Local Info screen. As I said, all was working fine on the current setup the one day and the next day it did not want to work.
Seems like a very common problem.
I want to buy CS4 and surely hope that the problem has been fixed by now.

Links Problem in Dreamweaver CS3 !

I recently reinstalled my Dreamweaver CS3. Now everytime i save a file, it saves the whole directory path with the file name. So when i opened my index page and saved it with some changes, all my css tables have been lost. and all the links in the file are relative to my system directory.
BEFORE, it was index.html
AFTER SAVE, it is "C:\Documents and Settings\Idiot User\index.html"
this has happened to EACH link that i used in my page, so even the css stylesheet is not working.
the entire website appears perfectly in Dreamweaver, but when i upload the files to my webspace, the links link to "file:///C|/Documents%20and%20Settings/Delvin/My%20Documents/CBPC%20Website/sermons.html" , for example.
also when i change the links, image locations to the File-only, and remove the directory bit, the images disappear in dreamweaver.
Everything was working perfectly, until i re-installed the program. Can anyone suggest a way in which every file and every link is synced; so it is what it says it is WYSIWYG !

i do NOT think that it is a helpful answer .
You may not think so, but it sounds like a very plausible explanation and a mighty good place to start looking.
In your site definition settings, are your links relative to Document or Site Root?
Which operating system are you using?
Did you get all the latest updates for CS3 since re-installing?

Dreamweaver CS3 Not Displaying Some Images

Hi,
About a week ago, certain images that have always displayed
correctly within Dreamweaver started appearing as the "broken page"
icon. A table background image I just created today decided it was
going to act up as well. These images display fine in all the
browsers, and the web pages I'm designing look right. But not being
able to see these images within Dreamweaver makes designing very
difficult. Any ideas?
I am using Dreamweaver CS3 on a Mac Pro at work.
Josh

Looks like my message got lost. Would really appreciate some
help on this as I have to use this software every day. Thank
you.

Centering a flash movie within Dreamweaver cs3 on Y axis

I have published a movie in Flash cs3 which has generated an html document however the Flash movie is not automatically centered I have attempted to centrally align the movie within Dreamweaver cs3 by adding:
<center> after the opening body tag and </center> befor the closing body tag
This method has centered on the X axis but not the Y axis
I would have put in a table or a div tag, but when I open the html doc in Dreamweaver I have no visible repressentation of the Flash movie in the design view as I would have if I had created an html document from scratch and draged the movie onto the page, all I can see is the "get flash" hypertext and some other text. I did actually experiment by creating a div tag and dragged my movie into it but ended up with two movies one sitting on top of the other when I ran it in a browser lol. I'm quite intimdated by code and much prefer to work in the design view (wysiwyg and all that) which is quite restricting.
Any advice for centering on the Y axis would be much apreciated, Thanks in advance, Dave

I don't believe there is code to prevent this from happening
on a client computer. The default is enabled my Microsoft, what
should happen is a yellow bar should appear at the top of the
browser which will allow you view the content.
What might work is to use a program called Zinc by a company
call Multidmedia Limited www.multidmedia.com. Search the site for
samples, one of the samples is a Flash Browser this will run Flash
a browser that you can use. You will need to change the URL a bit
in the Flash code but it's very clear on how to do this.
What this will do is run your web site in a Flash browser I
did a quick test and I did not get any errors. The program will
create an EXE file. I also believe they have a MAC version if you
need one. With a simple "Autorun" call on the CD-ROM you could have
this up and running in not time.
Just be careful of how you call the pages. Since the web site
is not running from a Web server you need to make sure that your
links are local and not Site Root. The best way to test is to
disconnect your computer from your internet and see how it runs.
You want the CD to be self-contained and not have to get content
from the web (your end user may be on a laptop and not connected).
Good Luck

Problems occuring in dreamweaver cs3 when inputing text/images

Hi All
I am having troubles with my version of Adobe dreamweaver cs3. I am creating a newsletter and have my stemplate all layed out, but everytime i go to paste text from a word doc my table goes wrong. My pixle width is 650 it then increases when adding the information. I have also been having trouble with inserting pictures, i want some aligned left and some right. Everything is ok on screen in dreamweaver but when i go to view it on the web the pictures do not align the way i want them to. The colums also have a mind of there own and seem to constantly need me to retype their width value.
My newsletter is not too straight forward but i would have thought that dreamweaver would be able to cope with the way i have set it up. Because i studied the graphic side of design instead of the web side I have never been tought how to use dreamweaver in depth and have just picked it up myself.
Is there a setting somewhere that i have missed that might be causing it to do these things?
I hope someone can help me i have been struggling with this for months

It puts the following text on a new balnk page without a

Sql type not recognized: 'int unsigned' when I expand table in Dreamweaver

Dreamweaver warning message - "sql type not recognized: 'int
unsigned'"
This was happening in Dreamweaver MX and now in CS3. The
pages using these tables are not throwing errors when I test them,
but each time I expand a table in Dreamweaver, I get these warning
messages. Often I get the same message multiple times and must
click OK each time before I can proceed. Just now I had to OK the
warning three times for a table that only has one integer field and
two fields total.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hi Bagger and Ken
With some help from Randy Edmunds at Adobe was able to find a
solution to this bug.
*note I am still using DW MX 2004 so there may be some
variation with your version.
ANSWER: You need to add the sql type "int unsigned" to the
dwscriptsServer.js in Dreamweaver's files.
The file to ammend is [your path to the DW
root]\Configuration\Shared\Common\Scripts\
dwscriptsServer.js
do a search for the alert: "MM.MSG_SQLTypeAsNumNotInMap" and
then go up from there (it is about line 2059 in the DW MX 2004
file).
underneath a["unsignedint"] = 19;
add a new line a["int unsigned"] = 19; // variation of
unsigned int
I then deleted the delete the FileCache.dat (from step #4
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_19105)
and restarted DW.
That should fix it!
If that doesn't work then search the DW folders for
"MM.MSG_SQLTypeAsNumNotInMap" and ammend the sql data types where
the functions raise the error alert.
I hope this is helpful!
Cheers
Martin
ps I would be using the CS3 web premium suite if it wasn't

[BUG?] Dreamweaver CS3 b3481 removes all source

Hello,
Since a few days I noticed that Dreamweaver (CS3 build 3481)
is removing all of my PHP-coded source if I didn't close the
PHP-tag; '
?>'.
This is how I found out;
First I created a new PHP-document and went to the Source of
it. After some typing of HTML and PHP, the document had to be saved
to a file. For example, the document's source is:
quote:
<?="Echoing a foobar!";?><br
/><table><tr><td>foo
bar</td></tr></table><?
More PHP source comes here
... without closing the PHP-tag.
The document will be saved to a file (f.e.: foobar.php). Now,
everything after '</table>' is gone.
How is this possible?
Thanks for any read and respond.
