New to creating webpages in Dreamweaver

Hi,
My site that I have constructed in Dreamweaver CS4 likes
perfect in Firefox, but in other browsers, the banner across the
top stretches out to the right and throws off my rollover buttons.
Do you know what I need to do here to correct this?

> Do you know what I need to do here to correct this?
Please spend a few minutes reading other posts here on this
forum to get a
sense for the 'culture'. You will discover -
1. That you should use a more descriptive subject line
*always*
2. That you will rarely get good answers without also
supplying a link to
an uploaded page so we can see your page and its code
3. That *all* answers are in the code
4. That you will have to learn some HTML and CSS to a)
understand how DW
works, b) understand WHY DW works, and c) understand the
answers that we
give you
Can you do that?

How do I create a webpage in Dreamweaver WITHOUT using layers?

I'm reading a lot about how we should not use layers and
tables when creating a website in Dreamweaver because of something
called "absolute placement" (or something), which is the reason the
text in my website is constantly misaligned or overlapping when
opened up in Firefox. Although, I've never had this problem before
for the past three years I've been using Dreamweaver to create my
sites, which is what's most frustrating I think.
So, I guess I'm wondering how, then, do I create a webpage in
Dreamweaver WITHOUT using layers and tables? The only thing I've
been able to do w/o layers/tables is to literally hit "enter" and
"tab" continuously until the cursor is somewhere close to where I
want it to be on the page. But that seems a little old-school (for
lack of a better term) to really be the way to do it.
Also, if I've used a lot of layers/tables already in my
website, is the general recommendation for be to rebuild my site
completely w/o layers/tables, or is it feasible for me to have
someone who knows HTML just come in and fix the actual HTML code
for me to make it all work?
Ideally, I just want something to help me fix this problem
w/o having to hire someone else to come in, cause I've been working
this site for about a year now and am just now finally getting it
up online only to find that the way it looks online is not the way
it looks in Dreamweaver. I'd really really appreciate any
suggestions/advice.
Thank you so much!

Hello,
The first bit of advice, which you may already be doing, it
to learn HTML
and CSS.
CSS is used to style and position elements.
Instead of adding numerous to add spacing, for
example, you can use
CSS to add margins or padding to elements to move them away
from other
elements.
Also, IMHO there is nothing wrong with using tables,
specially as you learn.
You can also use <divs> and CSS to position them (a
table-less layout).
There are a number of threads in this forum comparing them
and giving many
designer's views.
It's Dreamweaver's "Layout Mode" you should stay away
from.Use "Standard
Mode"
It creates tables with rowspanss and colspans that are very
fragile.
Something as simple as a user having a different text size
setting in their
browser than what you had in yours when you designed can make
the page break
apart.
More info:
http://apptools.com/rants/spans.php
Also, "Layers" are an older DW term for AP Divs (Absolutely
Positioned).
They can cause you a lot of frustration.
More info:
http://apptools.com:80/examples/pagelayout101.php
I would strongly suggest you take a couple of hours to do
these tutorials.
They are a great introduction to using CSS, making a
stylesheet and using
DW's "wizards".
They are very well written, illustrated and easy to follow.
I promise you will walk away with a different outlook on how
you can design
a page.
They are not intended to replace learning HTML or CSS in any
way, I just
think it will benefit you greatly seeing what you can do.

I hope that helps.
Take care,

Can't create new business catalyst site in Dreamweaver

Hello,
This question has been asked on the forums before but an answer has never been provided.
I'm trying to create a new Business Catalyst site in Dreamweaver but when I click "New Business Catalyst Site" a blank dialogue box pops up for about 2 seconds and disappears again. This happens no matter where I try to create the new site from.
Any ideas?
Thanks

I followed these easy steps and it worked for me.
Make sure to run as administrator.
here are the instructions.

I cannot create a new business catalyst site with Dreamweaver CC 2014. The error message states that Dreamweaver cannot connect with server, try again later. How can I fix this problem?

I cannot create a new Business Catalyst site with Dreamweaver CC 2014 (Mac). The error message states that Dreamweaver cannot connect with server, try again later. In addition, I am also unable to load remotely a previously created Business Catalyst site as it says there is something wrong with my username or password. However when I put my password in and press test connection, it says it has connected successfully. What is going wrong and how can I fix this problem?
Thanks

Hi Ozy08,
Can you try the solutions mentioned in Re: Can't Login to Business Catalyst within Dreamweaver CS6?
If you still have problems, and you have a purchased version of DW CC, send me your Adobe ID, location, and contact details over a private message. Click my picture and use the message option.
Thanks,

Webpage in Dreamweaver

I've created a webpage in Dreamweaver and have uploaded the
index page; it's not working cause when typing in the web address
it doesn't direct to the index page, only works if I type
/index.htm in the end. What havent I done?

Some hosting company's have the site setup to use index.html
or default.html
and some have a control panel so you can chose what you want
to use.

Adding Silverlight to a webpage with Dreamweaver

I recently created a free Dreamweaver extension for adding Silverlight 2.0 & 3.0 .XAP file to a webpage / website.
http://www.GJHDigital.com and click the Free Dreamweaver Extensions link.

I have viewed your website and it appears either unloved or just not fi
nished. Images are not showing and your Silverlight 1.0 extension does not work for
me. I guess Adobe don't consider your work a completed project at this stage.
I would like to use DW to create a photographic wall using Silverlight. I'm too much into coding mowadays. Too slow. I am playing with Pivot and Deep Zoom but I'm finding it difficult to control what is happening to the images when I roll the mouse without getting involved with the code.

Problem Creating Recordset in Dreamweaver CS5.5

Can you help?
I am having with recordsets in Dreamweaver CS5.5, or rather the sudden (I don’t know why this has suddenly happened) inability to create one.
When I try to create a recordset query I get this error message and am prevented from creating said recordset -
While executing onBlur in ServerBeh-PHP-SimpRS.htm the following javascript
error occured:
In file ServerBeh-PHP-SimpRS
Update UI is not defined
I have tried re-installign Dreamwear to no avail

This worked for me.
Step One
Remote Server Settings
Server Name: *Insert Name
Connect using: FTP
FTP Address: yourdomain.com
Username: yourusername
Password: yourpassword
Root:
Web URL: http://yourdomain.com
Step Two
Testing Server Settings
Server Name: *Insert Name
Connect using: FTP
FTP Address: yourdomain.com
Username: yourusername
Password: yourpassword
Root:
Web URL: http://yourdomain.com
Click on the Advanced tab
Testing server
Server Model: PHP MySQL
Step Three (this is the tricky part, lol)
Click on file, then click New.
Create a NEW, I repeat... NEW PHP page.
Let it sit.
Step Four
Now enter your remote SQL settings.
Not sure why... but this worked for me after HOURS of:
"An unidentified error has occurred"

Trouble Creating Forms in Dreamweaver

Hello,
I am having trouble creating a form in Dreamweaver for my website. The form is fairly basic, just some contact/comment input required.
I created my webpages using Fireworks CS4 and exported them as HTML and Images. The basic format of my website is to have a rectangular block in the middle of the page, where the form elements are supposed to be entered. However, it seems that I cannot simply add a textbox or textarea to the middle of my page. If I try, everything gets shifted around very strangely.
How can I leave the format of the page intact, but add in the form elements (name, email, comments)?
You can see the page here: http://www.wafflesnjoe.com/preview/contact.htm
Thank you

Thanks Murray, I had a feeling that that's where I'd be headed.
Is there a more seamless way of transferring webpages from Fireworks to Dreamweaver, such as CSS and Images, that would make it easier for me to work in Dreamweaver?
Would you recommend building websites in Dreamweaver, and not bother with Fireworks?
Sorry for all the questions, but I'm a newbie.

Subject: Trouble Creating Forms in Dreamweaver
I'm not very familiar with Dreamweaver, so this may be a basic question to ask.
The trick is to be familiar with HTML, not DW, since HTML underlies everything that DW does, and that you want to do on a web page.
To add a form to a page without disrupting the layout of the page, you have to a) select a layout design that constitutes good practice, and b) build the layout so that it accommodates the form. I know that's not a very satisfactory answer.
First of all, unless you are fairly familiar with HTML, your layout will not be easy to implement because you will need to constrain the form and its elements to fit vertically within that central area. This is not so easy because you have no way of controlling how large or small I (as a visitor) am displaying my text in my browser. Thus, that form's content is going to expand or contract vertically causing the boxed area to need to expand or contract accordingly. This is layout 101 for an experienced developer, but may just push you over the edge if you have no HTML under your belt. So, I would discourage you from trying to use this design. Is that possible?

Populating marketing attribute of bp in new field created by eew in crm

Hi all,
    I have created new field in transaction types(lead opp, quotation and order) through eew.
    how do i populate a value of a marketing attribute that i have maintained for a business partner(TABLE for marketing attribute:- AUSP) in the new fields created in all the transaction types.
    Can anyone help me in how to achieve this as it is an high priority issue for me?
    I have tried doing by writing a code in pbo of the screen in which fields are created but it gives me a dump at item level if item is maintained otherwise it works but item is compulsary.
Regards,
Rahul

Hi Rahul,
Check the BADI 'CRM_CUSTOMER_H_BADI'
Implement the method 'CRM_CUSTOMER_H_MERGE'
First of all select the data from the table.
Fill in the appropriate corresponding field in the structure 'CS_CUSTOMER_H_BADI',of the method, with the data extacted. Finally(very important), In the table 'IT_INPUT_FIELD_NAMES', of the method, append a line with the field FIELDNAME containing the name of the field in the Customer_h structure and field CHANGEABLE containing space.
I think this should solve your problem.

Hi

New user created in oracle 11g (release 2) is not connecting (ORA-01017)

Hi All,
Kindly help me out regarding this.
I have created a new user using "ORACLE Enterprise Manager 11g" and used the same credentials in SQL developer for a new connection and it throw "ORA-01017: invalid username/password; logon denied" message.
Kindly note that have followed the following steps in creating user:
On the Users page, click Create.
In the Name field, enter NICK.
In the Profile list, accept the value DEFAULT.
This setting assigns the default password policy to user Nick.
In the Enter Password and Confirm Password fields, enter a password that is secure.
Create a password that is secure. See Oracle Database Security Guide for more information.
Do not select Expire password now. If the account status is set to expired, then the user or the database administrator must change the password before the user can log in to the database.
(Optional) Next to the Default Tablespace field, click the flashlight icon, select the USERS tablespace, and then click Select.
All schema objects that Nick creates will then be created in the USERS tablespace unless he specifies otherwise. If you leave the Default Tablespace field blank, Nick is assigned the default tablespace for the database, which is USERS in a newly installed database. For more information about the USERS tablespace, see "About Tablespaces".
(Optional) Next to the Temporary Tablespace field, click the flashlight icon, select the TEMP tablespace, and then click Select.
For the Status option, accept the default selection of Unlocked.
You can later lock the user account to prevent users from logging in with it. To temporarily deny access to a user account, locking the user account is preferable to deleting it, because deleting it also deletes all schema objects owned by the user.
Grant roles, system privileges, and object privileges to the user, as described in "Example: Granting Privileges and Roles to a User Account".
Note: Do not click OK in Step 13 of "Example: Granting Privileges and Roles to a User Account". Instead, skip that step and continue with Step 12 in this procedure.
Assign a 10 MB quota on the USERS tablespace, as described in "Example: Assigning a Tablespace Quota to a User Account".
If you did not click OK while assigning the tablespace quota (previous step), click OK now to create the user.Kindly note that I have log in as SYSTEM user and created this new user.
Could any one help me regarding this ?

After connecting with sqlplus, as user SYSTEM and when tried the below, I could see that the new user created by me does not exist..
select '--' || username || '--'
from dba_users
order by username;
But when tried with GUI "ORACLE Enterprise Manager 11g" I can very well see the new user created by me..
How is this possible mate??
Is the user not properly created through GUI (than from where it is showing the new user)
Some more information i want to share;
i have used schema "HR"
And have used table space "USERS"
And tep tablespace "TEMP"

why can I not access a new document created yesterday in "pages"?

Hi,
Based on my understanding, your issue is you cannot create folder in Windows 7, right?
Did you fix it?
This issue might be caused by corrupted system file.
If I am right and you haven't resolve your issue, we could try the following method:
