Links dissapear in preview

Hi there, looking for some help for likely a very rookie
problem. Ive created a navigation bar using an image map with
slightly different variations on three pages. When I preview it in
a browser through dreamweaver i can originally click on all the
areas that should be active but once the next page appears, all the
links become inactive. Can anyone give me a hint?

> no, i linked them all directly to pages in my root
folder.
but are they site root relative paths or document relative
paths?
try this-
select a link
in the Property Inspector, click the folder icon to remake
the link and pick
the file again.
now in the Browse to File dialog box, does the pulldown say
document
relative?

Check if linked image has preview?

Hi
In InDesign, when we place an image as a link in a document, it creates a sort of a "preview" for the image. So, now even if the original image is deleted from disk, the document still has a "preview" of the linked image.
If we go ahead and export the image as pdf, it uses the "preview" while exporting (since the linked file is deleted).
This "preview" is not generated always in case of InDesign Server (depends on settings).
I need a way to find out which links have "previews" associated with them, and which do not. Can anyone give any pointers about where to look?
I have tried using
ILinkResource
virtual ResourceStoreState GetStoreState () const =0
Returns the resource's store state.
but it always returns 0(kNormal), which means
Resource is not cached or embedded (Even for links which have previews). So I'm beginning to think that the "previews" and the ResourceStoreState are two different things.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,
you can check against links name or filePath '$.writeln(app.activeDocument.links.everyItem().name);' gives a array back.
if(app.activeDocument.links.itemByName('SomeName').isValid === false){alert('Do something ...')}

Facebook messenger, link loading and preview, and messages in general on facebook are not working for me all of a sudden. Work fine on IE, what's up?

I can't access messages, the page blanks, the chat windows will not appear, and I can't post link previews to my wall or any other wall.

.SWF Links work in Preview, but not in Browser

I'm sure this question has been asked plenty of times before, but i can't seem to find the answer. I have created an advertisement with Flash CS6, Actionsript 2.0 (because it has a pageflip). When i test the file on my computer I can click on a Button that I created and it pulls up a webpage. If I upload that same .SWF file to the webserver, the button doesn't work. I have adjusted the Publish settings so that Local playback security is set to "access network only", and still it does not work.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hello!
Thank you for checking my pages. I did clear the cache. Updated software. Repaired permissions. Rebooted (a million times). I also made sure I had no overlapping graphics. The problem appears to be on the pages linked from This Week (in the navigation bar), the pages are Probability and Measures of Central Tendency. The links are in Text Boxes with frames on them.
I tried viewing the pages using Safari on my iBook, on an iMac using Safari and on a PC using Firefox. I get the same links not working. It's just odd that they appear to function "normally" in iWeb. I was hoping I did something dumb that I could fix quickly. If not, I'm having to do the pages over.
Your suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Ibooks author web links lost when preview to iPad

Created a long book with ibooks author including links to web sites. Works fine on Mac version but when I open the book on iPad ibooks, web links are lost and default to apple web site. What do I do to retain links for iPad version of ibooks?

No, catually I can't. I don't see my iPad nor my iPhone either in Image Capture, iPhoto, iTunes. They are nowhere. I even tried 3 different dock-USB cables. The cables are ok and I can charge the devices. But they won't be recognized by all the apps. This never happened before. The only thing that has changed recently is that I installed OSX Lion. Any connection ? What happened????

Collaboration Launch Pad Link dissapeared from Toolbar

Hello,
I need help with the Collaboration Launch Pad.
According to the SAP Help I have configured the CLP, so that it shows the link on the toolbar in the top portion of the screen. It worked fine, until some time ago, when it stopped showing in the toolbar. We installed a TREX Patch somewhere around that time, but I cannot imagine that that could be the cause.
Has anyone experienced a similar problem?

I already found out, what the problem was. The delta-linked iView Tool Area in the Default Framework Page got somehow corrupted (don't know why - it had two instances of the parameter "Enable Collaboration Launch Pad"), I deleted it and copied the original Tool Area iView into the page again. Then I have set the "Enable Collaboration Launch Pad" property to true and voila, the link was here again

I had an add on for years but how to get my pc worked on and now its gone..it was a mouse over link to preview that page in a new tab .it had a little blue mark

it was like a preview any page in new tab when you mouse over the link it would open that page and i cant remember what it was called

'''[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/coolpreviews/ CoolPreviews]''' {web link}
Browse faster—Preview links and images without leaving your current page or tab.
Just mouse over any link and a preview window appears to display the content.

Linked PDF files won't open in Preview

I have a a few Table of Content PDF files linked to a large number of PDF files in subdirectories (the old AGES library system). When I try to open the linked file in Preview i get an error saying that I don't have permission to open this file. Adobe Reader works fine and I can open the individual files in preview but trying to open them from the TOC PDF file doesn't work. Repair permissions says everything is fine. I'd rather not install Adobe Reader so is there something I'm missing in trying to get Preview to work?
Thanks

I can suggest a workaround, though I don't know what the cause of the problem is. It just showed up recently in my installation of MacOSX 10.8.5.
I opened all the files that had difficulty with permissions. Then I closed them and opened the file with the links (the Table of Contents file). At that point the links worked. Go figure.
Opening the Table of Contents file first and then opening and closing the problem files resulted in the links taking me to the first page of the linked document, rather than the correct page within it.
I had checked file permisssions previously. That was not the probelm. I even used the Terminal to reset them to universal read/write, but that made no difference.
HTH.

Links when using Templates don't work in preview

I have created a template for the 'traditional' top banner,
left navaigation buttons site. In preview mode, any links
(navigation area or not) that point to another page in the web site
do not work, but external links go. (No error is reported, but
nothing happends) However, when published, all links work. Any
ideas what is happening?
Eample link:
<a href="../catalog.htm" target="_self"><img
src="../_derived/catalog.htm_cmp_edge000_vbtn.gif" width="140"
height="34" border="0" alt="Catalog & Renewal"
/></a><br />
The graphic does appear for the link.
If it makes any difference, this is a convert FrontPage site
where I manually edited the html to import the pages into my first
Dreamweaver site.
Thanks in advance,
Carolyn Wood

> In preview mode, any links (navigation area or not) that

This is how DW will work if you are using ROOT RELATIVE
links, *and*
temporary files to preview.
Here's an example -
* I create a page with a link to an image -> <img
src="/images/foo.gif">
(note that the image link is a root relative link - the path
says to go to
the
root of the site and look for the images folder because of
the leading
slash)
<img src="/images/foo.gif" (that's root relative - it
starts with the root
of the site)
<img src="../images/foo.gif" (that's document relative -
it starts with the
current location of the document)
* I preview that page with DW (since I am using temp files,
DW is kind
enough to realize that root relative links won't work in a
preview, and so
it converts them to document relative links when it builds
the temporary
file for the preview) -> <img
src="../images/foo.gif"> (I'm assuming that
your document is one level below the root of the site). In
the preview,
this page looks fine because the browser has no trouble with
the document
relative link - it knows where the file it just opened is,
and can follow
the path to the image).
* I then click on a link in the previewed page to another
page that also has
ROOT relative linked images --> <img
src="/images/bar.gif"> and suddenly
the image does not load.
Why? Because when you click away from the temp file DW just
built for you,
you have lost the benefit of the automatic conversion that DW
does with
root relative links, and the browser looks for this new image
starting from
the root of the hard drive, not the root of your site.
The solution is to not use root relative links, and to change
all your
existing ones to document relative.

Preview can not find linked pages

When previewing my index page I click on the links created
using flash buttons and they can not find the pages on my hard
drive. The flash buttons are incorporated into my basic template as
a library item. When The error occurs the page address that is
being looked for is shown as follows:
file:///C:/KECSITE2/kecpartyfiles/Moonwalk-Bouncehouse-rental-Massachusetts-Connecticut/bo uncers_moonwalks.html
If I click on the same link while previewing other pages ,
the page is found and the address is as follows:
file:///C:/KECSITE2/kecpartyfiles/KECPARTY%20SITE%20FILES/Moonwalk-Bouncehouse-rental-Mass achusetts-Connecticut/bouncers_moonwalks.html
the page is displayed.
all the regular html links work when previewing on all pages
and there are no broken links found when I check links site wide.
and the links both flash and html all work when published. This
only started when I added the flash buttons as links.
Is it possible I changed the way the preview works?

suggestion one:
Go into dreamweaver Preferences->Preview in Browser
put a checkmark in "use temp files for preview"
Suggestion Two: Do Not Use Flash Buttons.
Just don't
there are ten possible reasons this isn't working. If you
just used text
links to the other pages, there wouldn't only be two possible
reasons it
isn't working.
again- suggest you don't use Flash Buttons or Flash Text.
There's a reason adobe finally listened to us and removed
Flash Text and
Flash Buttons from CS4.

Cannot preview webpage with linked stylesheet in browser

I had a frustrating problem arise a few hours ago with a local version of a webpage with a linked stylesheet, which is that suddenly I can no longer preview its CSS styling in a browser.
I've done a lot of troubleshooting to try to narrow down the problem and narrow it down I have, but I am unable to solve it. Here are the conditions in which it occurs:
(1) The problem occurs only within this particular site. If I create a new site, or open one of my other sites and preview a webpage with a linked stylesheet, it previews fine.
(2) I know the stylesheet for this page in this site is linked properly, because the styles display properly in the page both in design view and live view, just not when I preview it in a browser.
(3) It occurs in this particular site only if the styles are linked. If I move the styles to the header, it then previews fine in a browser.
(4) The problem only occurs in the local version of the site. I subsequently uploaded the page and its stylesheet to my remove server, and if I navigate in a browser to it, it displays fine.
I've spent about four hours trying to solve this. If anyone if familiar with the issue and could offer me advice on how to solve it, I would be very grateful.

function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}
The best way to proceed is to see the live page.
Yes true, however he provided a link to his page and it renders fine. The fact that he says it ONLY happens locally and ONLY with THIS site doesnt help us in viewing his live site, other than to make sure his code is valid.
Ok you have two stylesheets ...one for IE I assume. But the file paths here:
<link href="/StyleSheets/ModuleStyleSheets.css" type="text/css" rel="StyleSheet" />
and here:
<link href="/stylesheets/styles_main_current.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
are closed differently AND point to different folders....Stylesheets and stylesheets. Do you have two different folders named this way?

Preview Etext template in XML Publisher Desktop (Template Builder)

Is there a way, or are there plans, to be able to preview an eText template using the template builder, in MS Word, like you can with PDF type templates. This is a great feature when creating PDF output and saves a lot of time. It would be great to be able to do the same for eText templates.
Cheers,
Dave

You can create a dummy data definition and dummy template(etext) in xml publisher admin responsibility.
For the Data definition , in the bottom if you scroll down you will see a link for upload preview xml data file.
After uploading the xml file access your template and you can see a preview icon.If you click it you will see a txt file popping up
thanks

DMP does not show html link

Hi,
We are deploying a DMM system with DIgital Signs, version 5.3.0. We are using DMP 4310G with the beta version of firmware 5.4 as this is the only one with a browser.
We need to show Cisco unified Intelligence Center ( CUIC ) reports of IPCCE.
When I first tried to use the GoTo URL method with play now, it worked fine. with the same link, I created a Presentation using the designer and we only saw a black box on the screen. I can see that the startup URL changes ( if I do play now with go to url method, then Startup URL chnages to what I push and it clears the contents of the Flash Variables Data_Url, if I create a presentation and schedule it to play at certion intervals then it shangec the Flash Variables URL and the Startup URL stays as default ).
Now the problem with the Play Now + Go To URL is that you cannot schedule and cannot erally arrange the screen as you want. But Still, this might have been a solution at least until we figure out why it is not working with Presentation + Schedule method.
So I have created a new report on CUIC by increasing the Font size to 30 ( by default it is 10 ). It shows fine, I again created a GoTo URL also cerated a presentation with the same link. The preview on the designer looks fine.
So I pushed the GoTo URL using play now to one DMP and scheduled the presentation for the other DMP. The one with presentation shows a big black screen and the other one shows a big white screen.
So if anybody have any idea what might be going wrong, or what I may be doing wrong taht wuld be great.
By the way I am uisng the permalinks of the Dashboards from CUIC. I tried with both http and https.
Thanks

Hello,
DMS 5.4 is officially out, so you could test this with a full 5.4 system. DMP running 5.4 is not officially supported with DMM running 5.3. See the compatibility matrix at:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/video/digital_media_systems/dmscompat3.html#wp1207463
Please notice that the 5.4 release do not support Show and Share and the scheduling system has been changed with a new Channel feature.
Regards,
Marco
