Library Item update in XSL page.

This has more than likely been asked before, but is it a known bug that Dreamweaver (my version is CS4) doesnt update a Library Item if its included in an XSL file?

Do you have CSS rules defined in the Library item? A well
formed Library
item must never contain CSS rules, or <html>,
<head>, or <body> tags. Does
yours?

Library Item updating a section I don't want.

Here's another question I have about library items. I do like them a lot, saves hours of keyboarding.
I built a library item that controls and places "Sponsors" in my 3rd column sidebar. Sponsors contains relevant links and graphics to sponsors of this cycling team. It works fine except...
If I modify the library item, when I go Modify > Library > Update Pages, this thing for some reason, goes and also modifies the <div>menu </div>.   This is part of the reason why a couple of days ago I was getting all turned around with my "\"s and my "/"s. I've looked at the code details of the sponsors.lbi file in DW 5.5. I can see nowhere that the .lbi refers to any part of the "menu" div. Yet when I update pages, the updating goes into the div and messes up (replaces) all my correctly formed menu lnks so that those no longer work.
I need to find out why this happens because now I am having to spend a lot of time at the keyboard fixing menu links! Of course this propagates to every page too. It's obviously not right - I can't keep operating this way.
What do I need to do?

I can't see anywhere in here where it's "touching" my menu div. But DW sure does. This has me baffled but you know there's an answer...
Let me show you index.html too so you get a better picture of how this is structured. Please don't laugh at my markup/coding! I know it's gawd-awful and needs more improvement!!! When I first inherited this it was filled with table based layouts, inconsistent imbedded styles from one page to another, a mess. I'm trying to learn and fix it at the same time...

Dreamweaver quits when updating library item

Sometimes it works fine for a week or so but suddenly it
starts crashing Dreamweaver (CS3) every time I'm updating a library
item throughout a local site. Any ideas why and how to avoid this?
Thanks,
Hanna

> I really need to understand why library items crash my

This may not be possible for you right now. At least SSI
would get you
going. But so be it.
Library item updates do not crash my DW. Sorry.

How to use a Spry Menu as a Library item?

Okay, this is my second post; but, with a different title.
I made a Spry menu for my Home Page. I saved it and a logo
together as a library item and placed the library item on a second
page. The links in the menu work when there is no style sheet
attached for the Spry meny and the menu appears just as text; but,
as soon as the .css style sheet for the menu is attached to the
second page, the menu appears correct except the drop down menus do
not work. I tried adding a link to the Spry Java Script file as it
is on the home page; still no luck.
I tried the same with a test file, which I have since
removed, stored at the same folder as the home page; same problem.
How are we suposed to make a workable library item with a
Spry Menu? Surely this is possible, no?
Here are the two pages I am referring to:
Good Page:
http://iculver.com/
Bad Page:
http://iculver.com/pages/AboutUs/Personal_info.html

Apologies - my mistake. You are correct, and my instructions
were
incomplete. That other bit is required too.

The comments 'hide' the scripting from validators and older
browsers, but
it's still recognized as javascript, since the comments occur
INSIDE a
<script> tag.
> these Spry Menus in Libraries easier to use...)
It's not so hard once you get all the pieces together.
1. Create the library item as described.
2. Make sure that each page that is to carry this library
item has the
required links in the head (to the CSS and the js files), AND
in the body.
Why not use a template instead? That way, all of these links
are managed
for you.

Library item inserts erroneous body tags?!

When inserting a library item that contains xsl: tags, it
adds body tags that aren't in the original library item.
For instance, here's a sample of library item text that
contains xsl: markup:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;
charset=utf-8">
<xsl:if test="$language='en'">
<xsl:text>    |    </xsl:text>
<xsl:element name="a">
<xsl:attribute
name="href">SomeFile.html</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:call-template name="getLocaleString">
<xsl:with-param name="key" select="'key'"/>
<xsl:with-param name="lang" select="$locale"/>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:if>
And here is the result of applying it to an html file:
<!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">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;
charset=utf-8" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>
</head>
<body>

<body ><body ><xsl:if
test="$language='en'">
<xsl:text>    |    </xsl:text>
<xsl:element name="a">
<xsl:attribute
name="href">SomeFile.html</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:call-template name="getLocaleString">
<xsl:with-param name="key" select="'key'"/>
<xsl:with-param name="lang" select="$locale"/>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:if>
</body>
</html>
Anybody have a clue on what is going on here and how to stop
it?
Nathan

I assume you are using DWCS3? Post the steps to reproduce
this and let's
see what happens....

Dreamweaver CC Library Item with rollover link produces two body tags. Why?

I have a library item which is used in two pages and works correctly if it does not contain a rollover arrow with a link taking you to the top of the library item. This produces the following near the top of each of the containing pages:
</head>
<body class="indexpage">

<p><a id="top"></a></p>
Note that the Library Item does not itself have a <body> tag in this original, working version.
The problem arises when I insert an image rollover with a link up to #top (which is defined as above).
First, the Library Item has the following near its top:
<script ...>
... various functions to handle the rollover
</script>
<body onLoad="MM_preloadImages('../images/uparrowred2.gif')">
<p><a id="top"></a></p>
Secondly, the containing pages now have the following near the top:
</head>
<body class="indexpage" onLoad="MM_preloadImages('images/uparrowred2.gif)">

<script ...>
... various functions to handle the rollover
</script>
<body onLoad="MM_preloadImages('../images/uparrowred2.gif')">
<p><a id="top"></a></p>
It can be seen (shown in red) that the Library Item has correctly transferred the onLoad instruction to the containing page's <body> tag and at the same time altered the address of the GIF image from '../images/xxx.gif' to 'images/xxx.gif'. [The root folder with the various html pages has a number of subfolders including 'images' and 'Library']. But now, unfortunately, the containing pages have two <body> tags with the second one pointing to the wrong location for the GIF image.
Would someone please explain what is going on. I can think of three possibilities: (1) I may be doing something really stupid, (2) there may be a bug in Dreamweaver CC or (3) Library Items may not be allowed to contain anything "complicated" like a rollover. I did see a very old (2007) discussion in this forum suggesting that Library Items were rather limited in what they could contain, but over the intervening six years I would have expected things to have improved.

Thank you, but in that case I'm not sure I understand the purpose of Library Items. Before I added the Library Item, there was nothing to preload. When I add a rollover to the Library Item, Dreamweaver creates the preloader instruction within the Library Item. Then when I include the Library Item in an html page, Dreamweaver controls where the preloader is put.
Do I then need to manually edit what Dreamweaver has done? In this instance it would have been almost as quick to have ignored the use of a Library Item and copied and pasted the relevant code into the two pages and manually created the revised <body> tag with a preloader. In my relative inexperience with Dreamweaver, I just thought that using a Library Item in multiple pages would save me some effort when I wanted to change the content of the Library Item. As I said, the Library Item worked OK until I added a rollover within it.

Again Library Item

Hi All,
I have coding to place Library Item into the Page Layout, my Script placing the library Item into that parent Page,
But my Problem is I can not place XMLElement Into that Library Element Box.
Here is my Script:
myDoc.select(myElement);
            var mySideBarXML = app.selection[0];
            try {
                                myAsset = myCurrentLib.assets.item("Box");   // Name of the library item is "bx1"
                myLibraryItem = myAsset.placeAsset(myElement.insertionPoints[-1]);
catch (err)   {
                alert ("There is no library element with the name Box");
                exit();
            // TO PLACE TEXT IN LIBRARY ITEM
          try {
                myLibraryItem[0].textFrames[0].placeXML(mySideBarXML);   // if the library element is group of frames.
            catch (ee) {
                try {
                    myLibraryItem[0].placeXML(mySideBarXML);   // if the library element is a single frame.
                catch (ee) { }
can any one help on this.
Regards
Hurix

Hi hurix,
Are you try the above requirement in manually, You can't do even manually, because you already placed the library item into the XML text in between, again you drag the you respective box element xml text into the box, definitely its shown the error in InDesign like this...("Elements cannot be placed into an inline").
Now, what you have to do it for your requirement to meet. First you placed the library item into the respective page, then placed the box xml element content into the library item text frame.
try{
    var mySideBarXML = myElement;
    var myLibraryItem = app.libraries[0].assets.item("Box").placeAsset(myDoc)[0];// here you give the page, i.e., you selection element text parent page;
    myLibraryItem.move(mySideBarXML.xmlContent.parentTextFrames[0].parentPage);
     try {
         myLibraryItem.textFrames[0].placeXML(myElement);   // if the library element is group of text frame.
     catch (ee) {
         myLibraryItem.placeXML(myElement);// single text frame no group.
thx,
csm_phil,

When saving library item, only OPEN pages updating (closed pages not updating)

When I save my library item it only updates the pages that are OPEN and not the ones that are closed. It starts the update process then stops after updating the open pages and never completes the process. I have to click "stop" after a minute or so. Then it prompts me to update the pages again.
How can I get it to update ALL pages associated with the library item?
Here's the library code:

        </table>

The following lines in the Library item are invalid code

<link href="css/stevens.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
<table width="197" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<link href="css/stevens.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"> belongs in the <head> section of the HTML page
<table width="197" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> belongs in the <body> section.
Valid code would be

<link href="css/stevens.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
</head>
<body>
<table width="197" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
But I would expect the Library item to only include the table

Moved page - can't update library item associated with it. Please help

I moved a page on my website from one folder to another. I am not able to update the library item associated with it now. It still has the old navigation on the page. Please help. Thank you

Did you move it with your operating system's file manager or did you move it from within DW's Files panel?

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?
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

Can't update library item in object library

I used to be able to update library items, and did so often. Now the "Update library item" option is not just grayed out-- it's gone from the panel menu.
In order to update an item, I have to drag it to the page, update, then delete the corresponding library item, then drag the updated item back from the page into the library (and name it again). Do-able, but a lot more time consuming.
I have checked Edit > Menus, Context & Panel Menus and the Update Library Item feature visibility is on.
Is there something I'm overlooking? Thanks for any help!

Might be time to delete InDesigns prefs.
To delete the preferences, hold down Shift+Ctrl+Alt+Cmd just as you launch InDesign.
Doing this will remove any workspaces you have set up along with Print/PDF Presets.
Back these up first.

Page persistence indicator and Library item

What is the best way to create page persistence indicators on
a
navigational array using div elements, in which the nav array
is stored
as a Library item and stretches across multiple Templates?
I am trying to follow the instructions as in this article:
http://www.communitymx.com/content/article.cfm?cid=F1394
However, this method uses template parameters wherein the
navigational
array is stored in the .DWT template file, and not in a
Library item
which stretches across Templates as in my situation. I am
looking for a
solution which will allow the Library to dynamically create
the
persistence indicators.
Oh, and also the nav array is made up of graphical elements
(not
text-based CSS) so the persistence needs to swap out
individual
graphical elements for each div.
Thanks, -CC

Yes, this is exactly what I'm trying to say.
When I do a five page static site for a client who I know is
probably
going to make changes to universal elements once every year
(if that) it
really doesn't matter if I choose Library or SSI. Often I
will choose
Library items in this case, simply because they're easy to do
and I'm
used to doing things this way. And when I do have updates to
make?
Dreamweaver makes it a snap to update those Library items,
then compare
the changed files on the server. It can all be done in under
a minute.
SSI? Could have used that, too, but to preview the site I
either have to
set up a testing server environment or make the include live
before
showing the client. And I can't drag and drop the file from
the desktop
onto my browser, have to go through Dreamweaver. These may
not seem like
big deals (and may seem inefficient to some) but I manage
between 15-20
sites all through Dreamweaver, some requiring extensive
updates, many
requiring only a few tweaks quarterly, and I can tell you
that on the
sites I've built Libraries around, they take me maybe a few
additional
minutes longer to update than with the sites I've built with
SSI. It's
all about which sites make the most sense to build SSI or
Libraries around.
Of course the argument has been made: why not plan better in
advance to
use SSI in the first place when it may save you time in the
future? Good
point. However, again, the sites I choose to use Library
items versus
SSI were usually smaller sites, with no dynamic pages, etc.
And for
whatever reason I chose not to rename all my extensions to
SHTML ...
didn't want to jump through hoops setting up a testing server
environment ... or upload everything to FTP everytime I
changed the
include file just to preview the one pixel move I made on a
photo ...
and the client may see the include file live on his server
before I am
ready to demo the whole site, which is on version 4 at this
point ...
and now I have to change the path of the include on the
Template to a
new one so he doesn't see parts of version 3 ... and I don't
want to go
back to my client and ask for additional hours to call the
client's
dumb-*** hosting company to set up SSI that should already be
setup ...
don't have time to wait three hours for the webhosting
company to get
back to me with a "we're working on it" response ... and
we're already
overbudget due to that fancy CSS menu I already spent way too
much time
on and isn't looking quite right in IE6 still ... and I've
got to get
going on four other website updates before 6 PM ... it's now
5 PM ...
and I'm probably going to be up all night again.
Given all of that, I can't see why there appear to be so many
Library
hating comments on this thread. Reading through, it would
appear that
Library items are utterly useless -- which is just not the
case. I'm
surprised at the comments, actually, because the power in
Dreamweaver
lies in its ability to make the business of building websites
easier for
users with a wide range of skill levels, for almost any kind
of job.
Some of its tools (like Libraries) have overlap with SSI
perhaps to give
the user as many options as possible depending on
circumstance. Whether
one chooses to use Library items or SSI, the results are
often the same
in my experience, and I feel Libraries have even saved me
time in
situations where includes were simply not the wisest choice.
Who knows,
maybe it's because I've grown so used to them over the years
is why I
defend them so. But any rate, Libraries at least serve some
of us well.

Library items won't update - DW 8

Help!
I can't get my library items to update - all the files are in the folder 'Library'. I have updated all the pages (when prompted). I then applied changes (Modify>Library>Update Pages - for the entire site). Nothing actually updated. I am using Dreamweaver 8 on Windows XP.

Thanks. It's the main nav.menu on the left that I am trying to update. (www.lecss.com)
Here's the code for the menu.lbi that has the changes (but that are not showing/updating)
