Library item changed apperance.

I committed my nav bar ul to a library item and now the appearance of my nav bar has an off white background and I cannot change it back. Why did this happen? Thank you.

Possibly you inserted library item in the wrong division. Would need to see your CSS & HTML code to give more meaningful answers.

DW won't let me change a library item "change will be discarded"

I built a site and I have library items for my logo and
navigation and some thumbnails. I want to use a different file/lbi
file for my header. When I delete the current library item and try
to put a new one in, I get this message: "making this change would
require changing code that is locked by a template or translator.
The change will be discarded." I honestly don't know what to do; I
really need to specify a different file for my header but it won't
let me, and I have over 100 pages and I made all thumbnails,
rollovers, and all links manually and the file that it's using
isn't working right. I just want to put the correct one in there; I
don't know how I can possibly build my site completely from scratch
- what can I do?
This is a related issue, but I'm not sure how: I have two
library items named the same thing in two different folders; some
files refer to one, some to the other, but I want them all to refer
to the correct one; I can't make change since I get that error
message. I'm confused about which file is which, I'd deleted one
before, then restored it...thank you so much for any help. I'm
trying to build my portfolio site for an art exhibition...

Happily. One of the pages of the site I'm having problems
with is
http://www.hopeedwards.com/TEST_new_website/Hope_website/assorted_art.htm
I also attached code for it. [note: the home/index page only
works in Firefox but the other tabs work in IE and Safari. Also,
everything is shoved down wrong in IE and it only looks right in
Firefox] I am running Adobe CS3 on an Intel based Mac Pro with
Tiger OSX 10.4. I'm having trouble with a couple library items. The
very top library item is logo_and_navigation.lbi - all was okay
with it except I somehow had a couple different copies of it in my
Library folder, so I moved one of them to a folder within the site
called "Trashes". Then I deleted that one because I didn't want two
copies and the logo and nav disappeared on some pages that used
that one. I reinstated it in the trashes folder. The pages that use
that located in the Trashes folder are the index, Assorted Art, and
Commercial Work. The ones that use the one in the Library folder
are Clue Series and About & Contact.
I would like them all to use just one file so I only have to
edit one file if I make changes. I've tried several things: I've
tried selecting and deleting the item in the documents and
inserting the proper copy. It won't let me. I get the message
"making this change would require changing code that is locked by a
template or translator. The change will be discarded." I've tried
doing a Find and Replace and replacing the word Trashes with
Library to specify the correct folder info but that doesn't work,
probably because it can't change code in the library item.
I had a similar problem with the thumbnails library items
when I tried to build my other pages doing a File Save As from the
first one I built in Assorted Art. When I tried to create a
Commercial Work page from it, I deleted the thumbnails library item
because it was the Assorted Art thumbnails. When I tried to insert
the Commercial Work thumbnails library item I got that error
message. It was so frustrating; I had to go in and build the
Commercial Work page from scratch. I had to do that with each
different tab. It just doesn't seem right that you can't swap out
library items.
Anyway, I'd completely appreciate any help or feedback! I
really would!
Hope

Library item change and check in/check out

Here's the scenario:
We're using check in /check out - DW 8.02
My co-worker makes changes to several files
I take a look at them on the site, they look fine.
Now she checks in everything.
I make changes to a library item (menu) that affects the
whole site. The library dialog asks me if I want to check out the
files, I say "yes to all".
I wait a long time while the files are all checked out and
changed (500 files).
Looks Okay, so I, folder by folder, check them in again (I
didn't use syncronize)
and her changes are gone. Mine are fine.
All I can think of is that DW used my local copies of the
files instead of bringing down the ones on the server, even though
it looked like they were being checked out. Why? What would cause
this?

Changed a Library Item and now my CSS no longer works!

I am so frustrated I am almost in tears. I created a menu in a roughly 7 page website and used DW Library menu to put it on additional pages. Everything was working fine and then I changed a path to one of my links and hit the button to update the rest of the pages and that's when it happend. My CSS was gone, no longer applying to any of my menus. I created an additional CSS sheet just to style my menu and it worked fine up until I changed a frickin link to one my menu icons. Now my CSS sheets won't apply at all. I have no idea what has happened and why me changing the path of a link would void out my styles. Has anyone else had this happen? Suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I don't want to rub salt into your wounds here, but why are you using Library Items for menus? That's what DW Templates are for.
http://www.smartwebby.com/web_site_design/dreamweaver_template.asp#1
Or better still, Server-Side Includes.
http://www.smartwebby.com/web_site_design/server_side_includes.asp
Shortcomings of Library Items: they cannot be inserted into the <head> tags of documents. Nor can they contain code that belongs in the <head> tags. Library items can only be inserted into the <body> tags.
My advice is to run your code through the online validation tools below and fix reported errors.
HTML - http://validator.w3.org/
CSS - http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/
If you can't solve the problem yourself, upload page(s) and supporting files to a public web space you control and post the URL here.

Changing behaviors on library items

I currently have a header as a library item. The buttons all
have pop-up menus and I am trying to edit them. I used the help
through Dreamweaver and it said to open a page that contains the
library item and detach it - make the changes then re-save the
library sections. I tried that and when I click on the "Shoe Pop-up
Menu" on the behavior tab I get the following error message:
While executing inspectBehavior in Show Pop-up Menu.htm, the
followinf JavaScript error(s) occurred:
At line 492 of file "C:\Program Files\Macromedia\Dreamweaver
8\Configuration\Behaviors\Actions\Show Pop-up Menu.js"; TypeError :
T.update is not a function
Can anyone help with this? What does it mean?

A well-formed library item cannot have a behavior *in* it. It
can reference
a behavior with a call to it, e.g.,
<a onClick="MM_swapImage....
but it cannot actually CONTAIN a behavior. Why? Because that
would mean
that it would have to have <html>, <head>, and
<body> tags and Library items
just cannot contain those. Why? Because since a Library item
is inserted
into another page, if it contained those tags, they would
then be duplicated
on the other page.
So - your Library item is not well formed, i.e., it's broken.
> buttons all have pop-up menus
> and I am trying to edit them.
This is the worst possible situation. You have a broken
Library item, and it
contains an even more broken menu system. Is it too late to
reconsider
here?

Using CSS instead of or with library item

I built my site using Dreamweaver 8. I used the design view
exclusively. I made a navigation bar as a library item. Utilizing
rollovers, etc. Now I have learned I should build my site utilizing
CSS and as was pointed out on this forum to me, to learn CSS and
HTML.
I am having a brain freeze. The logic escapes me as to how I
would build a navigation bar and put it on each page as I did
utilizing the library function before.
I am sure for all you pro's this is a really dumb and obvious
thing but I just don't seem to figure out the logic how to do it. I
am not talking about the CSS for the behaviors such as hover,
visited, active. This I know how to do. It is just the ability to
have a properly designed navbar and be able to put it on every page
I make.
Murry "ACE" told me not to use AP and the dreaded mm_menus so
I am trying to figure this out and build a better more code
efficient site. Mine works but is quite trashy in the code.

It can be a bit daunting.
Try going through this tutorial completely. It's a bit out of
date (using
an older version of DW), and still covers the use of tables,
but it's worth
reinforcing your basic understandings -
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/first_website_pt1.html
Then I would suggest you do this tutorial -
Taking a Fireworks comp to a CSS-based layout in Dreamweaver
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/fireworks/articles/web_standards_layouts_pt1.html
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/fireworks/articles/web_standards_layouts_pt2.html
Finally, to get a grip on how to manage menus across an
entire site, use
DW's F1 help about how to use Templates, and server-side
includes.
Templates do make your life much easier. I use the following
scheme....
First, I mentally separate the page layout into three
sections:
1. Stuff that will not change for the life of the site (i.e.,
the basic
structural elements)
2. Stuff that *could* change from time to time (e.g.,
navigation elements,
burst advertisements, section-specific navigation, etc.)
3. Stuff that *will* change from one page to the next
Then I create a template containing all class1 elements. Next
I create
server-side include files containing all class 2 elements and
place them on
the template as needed. Note - some of the class 2 elements
may be
"section-specific elements", and their placement on the
template will be
subject to the next item. Finally, I insert editable regions
to cover the
class 3 items, INCLUDING the section-specific navigation.
This allows me to just cookie-cut the rest of the site. I
estimate that
even for fairly large sites, about 80% of my work goes into
planning and
creating this template file.

Dreamweaver Teamplate with Library Item for Navigation/Sidebar not updating editable classes

I have a Dreamweaver Template that contains two Library items. One Library item is my navigation bar, the other is a sidebar that shows different content depending on what page you are on. I'm assigning an editable class "active" to the navigation bar to show you are on a particular page, and also assigning the editable class "active" to the sidebar to reveal a portion of the sidebar with links pertaining to that specific page. The default value for the class is "hidden". So what is happening is when I open a page I have created and "edit" the Library Items in it to edit these classes, it resets resets all the other pages on the site to the default class values. How am I able to use editable classes and Library Items to achieve this kind of functionality? The idea is to only have ONE navigaton bar to update on the site and to only have ONE sidebar item to update. Here is an example of the sidebar and navigation in action so you can see what I'm going for. Notice the green button in the navigation bar (that is a list item with the class "active" which is an editable class in the Library Item, also notice the tan links in the sidebar, that is an unordered list that has an editable class of "active" in the Library Items --- these editable classes reset to their defaults when updating the Library Item on the website).
http://www.brumleve.org/joe/temp/CAP/mission.html

In my understanding, whenever you edit the contents of a library item, it will update all other occurances of this library item on the rest of the site. That's "working as designed" as far as I know, unless you break the link by telling it to not update - which kinda defeats the purpose I think.
But theres another way to do this using template properties, i#ve been using this approach myself a couple of times:
Write your navigation bar in the template (.dwt) file itself, then select the class= of your first menu item and choose .. (names might be off, I am using a non-English copy of DW): "modify > template > make attribute editable" from the main menu. Do so for all your menu items and name these new template properties something like "item_x_class"
You'll end up with something like this in your template source:
<div class="@@(item_1_class)@@">
and a matching
 in the header
Now, on each page, you can set the class within the template properties dialog ("modify > template properties"). If your main menu changes, it won't overwrite your template properties, but still update all pages when you do make a change to the menu.
If you're using multiple templates for your site, consider nesting templates, so the master template already includes your navbar and all subsequent templates will "inherit" changes to the navbar code (sans the editable class property).
Hope this helps.. or at least gives you an idea for further experiments..

Library Items won't Update!!

Argh, I've broken my menu for my website, which is a library item. I was getting an error when I validated one of the pages, and found it was an issue with my list not being properly nested within the library item's html. I thought I'd be smart and add a doctype to the library item, so that I could validate it on it's own and pinpoint the problem.
Apparently, the doctype addition was added into all of my pages that contain the library item. Now I can't seem to easily get rid of it! I changed my menu's html to get rid of the doctype, but this change is not reflected when I update all pages. I go to Modify>Library>Update Pages... and choose to update the entire site. Nothing happens! The doctype is still in all of my pages that contain the menu, and it breaks the page (nothing shows in the Design view window.)
Please help! I really don't want to have to delete and reinsert the menu on every page of my website. : (
Here's an example, with the doctype error in the library item "menu-multilevel.lbi":

I've never used Library Items. IMO Server-Side Includes are better for this.
Can you do a Find & Replace in the Source Code (Ctrl+F) for this line?

Can we query more than 5000 library items in Sharepoint online library using CSOM?

I am writing a console application to fetch all documents from the SharePoint Online Site. I am worrying what happens if library items grow beyond 5000 items. In my earlier experience from SP2010, I will raise the threshold limit from Central Admin Site
and then perform my CAML query operation. In SharePoint Online Site, is this possible ? If not, is there any alternative to get all the documents above 5000 limit ?

At the moment I wouldn't advise it without using folders.
You can, definitely, add more than 5k items in Office 365 lists. If you design them well and add indexes before you go over the threshold then it should be fine.
HOWEVER, once you go over the 5k threshold you lose the ability to change all the items in the list at once. Which means you can't add indexes to columns, can't add new columns, can't remove columns or perform any large admin task.
Incidentally CAML queries and upping the threshold are either/or options in on-premises installs. CAML is the way forward and can be used without increasing the threshold in the vast majority of cases.
In terms of support the MS documentation is unhelpful:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-gb/office365-sharepoint-online-enterprise-help/sharepoint-online-software-boundaries-and-limits-HA102694293.aspx
There it states that MS only support 5k items in a site list/library.

Spry widget menu bar as a library item - problems

I created a spry vertical menu bar and made it a library item. The original works great, however when I insert the library item into its own div tag on another page, the submenus will not pop out, either in DW or the browser view. The div tag is the correct size and I made the z index high enough. Here is the code of the page that works properly:

I understand about having the script and link element that connect my page to the dependent files in the SpryAssets folder in the header and the JavaScript function cal at the bottom on each page. I don't know what else to do - HELP!

Welcome to the Dreamweaver world!
Well, having your index.html page at the top/root level is important, as that is the default page by which people will enter your site.
Having other pages in folders is fine...I do it all the time in order to keep departments or categories of information sorted.
One characteristic of having pages in folders is that the hierarchy of files in folders (perforce) puts them at different depths in the site.
This is not inherently a bad thing! Just one to remain aware of. When you look at your site files in the Files Panel, you can see a graphical representation of those different levels.
But the nature of a library item is that it is identical in all its instances, which is what makes it useful...change it in the library, and it changes site-wide. The down-side of that identity is that when your files are at different depths in the hierarchy, their links back to, say, home (or any other same file) will change depending on the depth. You can see this if you make a link on a page, then drag the page (in the Files Panel) to a different depth...say, into a folder when it started at root level, or vice versa. Check the link, and you will see that it automatically adapted to the new path.
Library items do not do that; they do not change, so some of your links will be 'wrong' when you refer to pages that have different paths than the ones originally set up in the library item... because of the change in hierarchy.
All this is, of course, reliant on your creation of the site in the first place, as defining the root folder's location on your computer gives Dreamweaver a starting point for handling (juggling?) all the location-information for your site's files.

Template Expressions in Library Items?

Hi All,
The quick question is this: can template expressions be made
to work inside library items?
Here’s the situation…
The page:
http://www.fretbank.com/basics/intervals/index.html
I have a 3-tier template structure in place – 1-Root,
2-General Page Structure, 3-Topic Categories.
If you look at the page, I have buttons below the header that
point to different topics. Each topic has several pages. All of the
pages from each topic are child-pages from a specific Tier-3
template.
The buttons use template parameters/expressions on the Tier 3
temp. to determine the state of the button.
I currently have to copy the code for the button nav into
each topics template and any changes have to be made in each
template. I am going to be adding many more topics and want to find
a shortcut. I guess I could make a 4th template tier and have each
of the category templates be children of that, but I’m hoping
to avoid this. It would be easiest to be able to make a library
item and paste it where I need.
I thought about using SSI’s but that wouldn’t
work with the expressions. Any other suggestions?
Thanks,
Troy
here's the code if it helps:

> Is having the link outside the div a problem in older
browsers?
It's invalid HTML. That's enough for me. And I suspect it
would be a
problem somewhere, as you are trying to make the entire
<div> tag a link.
> This allows me to only have to change each of these nav.
elements on one
> page.
I would opt for a single template structured so that changes
to CSS could
'specify' the particular section layout. Then I would choose
server-side
includes for the navigation elements, and place them into
strategically
placed editable regions of the single template, depending on
which section
you are needing to navigate.
Having only a single template is not only possible, it's MUCH
simpler than
nesting them.

How do I edit Library Items in Contribute?

I've been attempting to edit a Library Item in Contribute CS5 with no real luck. First in said it could not open the file so I designated "simpleText" and also MSWord as alternate programs to edit the Library with. (I need something that my client has access to on a PC in their office). Contribute allowed me to open, edit and even publish...giving me a notice of "success" but when accessing the actual page online, the changes were not updated.
Adobe Tech support was useless on this issues.
Here is the code for the Library Item:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<style type="text/css">
.newsHeader {
    font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
    font-size: 18px;
    line-height: 18px;
    font-weight: bold;
    color: #6693b3;
    margin: 0px;
    padding: 20px 0px 0px;
.newsbodycopy {    font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
    font-size: 12px;
    line-height: 18px;
    color: #666;
    margin-top: 4px;
    margin-bottom: 5px;
</style>
<p class="newsHeader">News header</p>
<p class="newsbodycopy">Update Content on this page.</p>
Any help or suggestions to try would be appreciated. I created the item in Dreamweaver. Code is directly from Dreamweaver. I'm not a coder.
Thanks!

1. In the main menu go to >File>Actions>Edit page source in external application (Dreamweaver)
2. In the Dreamweaver make the necessary modifications.
3. Save the file
4. Return to Contribute and publish the page

Question about using library items in forms

After a long time I am again returning to this perpetual fountain of Dreamweaver knowledge.
I am converting a site from AGL to DW. In AGL I used a separate template for the forms (there are over 10) and used "components" to create the different forms. Each form shared features with other forms but were not identical, all together 5 components. When I converted over to DW the 5 compnents were made into 5 "library items" but neither the form template or the library items work, by that I mean they do not update if I make a change.
Hence I want to make 5 new library items to use in the forms my question is this: when I choose an item to put in the form like a text field or radio button I always get this window.
Though I read the documentation I am still not really clear about the "style" option so I just choose "no label tag." What is this used for? Any examples of how it is used?
Regarding "position" before or after the item, what is this all about? I have been choosing "after form item" but I don't really know what the difference is and what advantages or disadvantages acrue from these choices.
Regarding "Access key" and "Tab index" I sort of have the idea of what it is about but an example of how they work in action would clear up any nebulosity.
But my real puzzle is with the following which pops up at the end when I am inserting a form items.
Since the library items are not separate forms in themselves I have NOT added the form tag because my reasoning is that when I make the new form templates it will have the requisite form tags. Am I correct in this line of thinking? Or do I have to add form tags every time I add form elements to a form? I really don't want to have to do the whole thing over again if I get it wrong. So if one of you kind souls could guide me in doing it right the first time I would really appreciate it.
I am using a MBP, OS X 10.6.8, DW CS6

To declare constants create a Package-Specification in a pll and deifne all your constants there, something like:
PACKAGE PK_CONSTANTS IS
RC_SUCCESS CONSTANT PLS_INTEGER := 1;
RC_FAILURE CONSTANT PLS_INTEGER := 0;
RC_YEAR_DATA_NOT_FOUND := 50;
END;Then attach that pll to all your forms-modules, and use it like
IF rc = PK_CONSTANTS.RC_YEAR_DATA_NOT_FOUND THEN
END IF;A word about exceptions or errors: In my eyes its clearer (and in case of exceptions even better) to raise an exception than to hide it behind return-codes.

Working with library items

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/dreamweaver/cs/using/WSc78c5058ca073340dcda9110b1f693f21-7e49a .html

Personally, I don't like library items as any changes need to be applied to the document the library item is used in, then each document that uses it needs to be uploaded to the live server, and you might just miss a file or two that uses it leaving you with inconsistencies across your site.
My preference is to use a server side include (SSI) file which are for all intents and purposes, the same thing, but when you update it, you simply upload that one file and it automatically populates the changes across your site whereever it is used on all pages that use it. Much simpler and cleaner.
The only drawback is that you need to be using php, asp etc rather than html... or atleast that's the case in my experience.

Help with Library Items

How do I change the titles of a couple of pages, eg "Biography" to "About" and how do I delete some pages?

This question really has nothing to do with Library items. And for benefit of those not following other threads, the link to the pages is here -
http://www.bbcooper.com/film_tv.html
So - what do you want to cover in this thread: titles, deleting other pages, or Library items? How about we start with my first suggestion to you in the previous thread -
In DW's Code view for the film_tv.html page, change this -
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
to this -
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
Save the page. Make a similar change in any other page in your site containing that XML prolog
("<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>"), i.e., delete it.
Now, to get on with the Library items, in your local site, you will find a file called "main_nav.lbi" in the Library items folder. Open it in DW. Again, in Code view, delete all of this -
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript"> 
</script>
<body onLoad="MM_preloadImages('../images/navigation/home_f2.gif','../images/navigation/recordings_f2.g if','../images/navigation/theatre_f2.gif','../images/navigation/tv_f2.gif','../images/navi gation/reviews_f2.gif','../images/navigation/contact_f2.gif','../images/navigation/links_f 2.gif','../images/navigation/biog_f2.gif')">
so that the library item's code looks begins like this -
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
<table width="800" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr align="left" valign="top">
Save that Library item and allow DW to update all pages.
Now that you have done that, say more about your other questions please.

Library item changed apperance.
