Bashing or accusing Adobe of this or that, it is not going to
help at all.
Only if you roll up your sheeves and having an open-mind, and
make some recommendation or feedback or insights through
Dreamweaver wishlist or feedback.
Please try to understand that no app is perfecto! No one app
is perfect, that is. Almost perfect yet. Combination of two great
companies, "old" Adobe and 'formerly' Macromedia into "new" Adobe
System takes lot of time, effort, understanding and patience. That
is to say, Adobe isn't pretty much like M$, really.
I really strongly believe that Adobe does a pretty good job
in executing new or updating applications or develpoing new
products... and do a thorough Quality Assurance for each.
If I remember this correctly, believe it or not, Adobe is
about to release 16 products all together in matter of weeks away.
That is lot of work involved with those products under development,
fixing some problems that arise.
Please try to understand that InterAKT was once a third-party
software developer, and of course now an Adobe Company. Intergation
of InterAKT product(s) into Adobe System going to take some time.
Bashing and throwing hot potatoes or eggs at Adobe isn't
going to help.

bought by Adobe but new versions of INTRAKT are not compatible with
older versions of DW and older versions of INTERAKT are not
compatible with new versions of DW!!!! :))
I think gradually something like Microsoft will happen to Web
Development Tech with what Adobe is doing.
Adobe lost a great number of customers just because many of
us use interakt products because they looked to be the essential
toolkit for macromedia at server-side tech coding part(As I said we
had some incompatibilities but we could survive with them). Adobe
bought interakt and instead of merging it with DW, is going to
release a new incompatible version of both! Some one please tell me
it is a nightmare and I will wake up and see the growing DW ubder
macromedia with growing server-side tech tools for each update with
great compatibility with all older versions (even old ultradev).
I am really waiting for GOOD CHANGES not BAD CHANGES.
Adobe, please do something that we coders/programmers believe
that Adobe has the power to digest smaller companies without
ruining their good stuff.
Adobe, please do something that we coders/programmers believe
that Adobe has the vision beyond our needs.
Any new software should help us feel free and comfortable
more than the older versions.

Help-New to Dreamweaver CS3 and CSS-background

I have struggled more with learning DW and style
sheets than I ever thought I would. So if you will be patient, I am
going to try to ask one question at a time until I can actually get
something accomplished.
First, I would like my website to have a centered container
style. An example of a website would be:
http://www.ortussearch.com/
I would like my center container to extend to the bottom of
the page. I have a small background gif that I would like to tile
for the center container and then use a solid color for the areas
outside of the container. When I was on another site, they gave me
the HTML code but I am not advanced enough to know how to use that.
At this time, I have used my background gif by clicking
background on the "page properties" in the property inspector and
it looks fine but it covers the entire page. Is there no way I can
size this to about 700 pixels in width using the page properties?
Thanks for any help.
DD

I should mention that the css previously won't center the
#wrapper on
the page. If you want it centered, then you'll need to add
this in the
#wrapper definition:
margin: 0 auto;
In the <body> of your document, you'll begin like this:
<div id="wrapper">
The other stuff goes here.
</div>
It's advised to use additional divs or containers. So you
might make
your next container #content or #masthead or whatever else
you may want.
Play around with it and see what you get. These forums are a
fantastic
resource - you might want to also do some reading up on CSS
and HTML

Dreamweaver CS3 and Mac OS 10.4.11 Incompatability

I have been using Dreamweaver CS3 under OS 10.4.10 for a few
months without significant issues... but after upgrading to 10.4.11
there is a significant problem.
I am unable to access any of my remote servers to upload
files to the sites I have built.
I was able to reinstall Dreamweaver 8 and it works fine with
all the same setups
I've read a technote on a noted problem with Dreamweaver CS3
and Mac OS 10.5 - but it also appears to happen on 10.4.11
You can read the 10.5 technote here:
http://www.adobe.com/go/kb402780

I have not experienced this problem. Try removing the DW CS3
preferences file in your Library and then let DW build a new one.
BTW, what error you are getting when you try to FTP?

Dreamweaver CS3 and sql injection....

Any news if Dreamweaver CS3 will have the same "problems"
brought on by the
8.0.2 update to Dreamweaver 8?
Thanks!

Excellent...glad to hear it and I look forward to getting
CS3. I held off
on 8 because of the so called problems.

SWF problem in Dreamweaver CS3 and strange Script file

Hi folks, I am using Dreamweaver CS3 and tried to upload a
SWF file today. The SWF includes three buttons, one for video,
another for audio and one for text. Before loading up to DW all
three parts played fine. But when I uploaded to DW and my site, the
video fails to play. A Script file, and another file downloaded I
am not sure what I am supposed to do with this script file. The
script file is called The audio and text part works fine, but the
video will not play. I am not sure why this is, but when I uploaded
the file to Dreamweaver there was a Script file called
AC_RunActiveContent.js that automatically downloaded along with a
file called .htaccess
The other file is called called .htaccess
I uploaded both files to my server, but that did not help the
video play. I tried pasting the AC_RunActiveContent.js code into my
page and uploading, but that did not help the video play either; I
just got code at the bottom of my page.
I have viewed the page in Mozilla, IE7 and Flock, but still I
cannot play the video.
Does anyone have any idea how to make the video play in
Dreamweaver; what I am supposed to do with these two code files?
For those interested in the AC_RunActiveContent.js code, I
will post below. Please try to explain simply because I am not so
tech savvy.
I thank you all.

Dependent Drop-Down Menu in Dreamweaver CS3 and ADDT

Hi All,
I have been trying to create a dependent drop--down menu so that when I select an item the corresponding information would populate the other field or fields. So far I have tried to use the tutorial posted on the link below by Waleed Barakat but I have had no sucess.
http://www.tutorials-expert.com/tutorial/20354/-How-To-Create-Dependent-Dropdown -ListMenu-Forms.html
I wanted to know if anyone has something else that I can review to help me in this process.
Thanks

Please refer to this article (http://forums.adobe.com/message/1069624#1069624) for information on how your tables should be set up.

Hi Georgev63,
I followed the instructions to the link you sent me and it did not produce the results I had hope for.
The directions are pretty straight forward and I attempted the steps several times with the same results.
Basically the field that supposed to be the detail field is blank rather than having the ID of the master field.
Any further suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Dreamweaver CS3 and using keyboard shortcut to preview in browser

Hello,
I am currently using Dreamweaver CS3 and the shortcut to preview work in the browser is Command - F12. The problem is, I'm using the Apple keyboard and when I click that, the volume of the system changes.
I've tried Control, Command, Command+Control, etc, and F12 and nothing works. Any suggestions? Thanks.

fnOptionF12 will work.
fn tells the keyboard to send the F-xx instead of the special function.
And like I said there is an option in the System Preference to reverse the use of fn and make the F-xx keys work as F-xx instead of the special function.

Vista-64 CS 3, all install but Dreamweaver cs3 and Encore

Hi My OS is Vista-64,
I'm trying to install the Creative suite 3 master collection.
All installs fine, except Dreamweaver cs3 and adobe Encore cs3. I get the same reason
"Component install failed"
Any ideas what i should do?

Temprorarily disable UAC (Universal Account Countrol). Also, temprorarily diable your Anti-Virus app. This may then solve your install issues on Win Vista 64. It worked for me...

Dreamweaver CS3 and Sourcegear Vault?

Has anyone found a way to get Sourcegear Vault (SGV) to work
with Dreamweaver CS3? I don't have problems with using Dreamweaver
8 with SGV, but after upgrading all of our stuff to CS3 I'd rather
use the new version. Any thoughts? The SGV DLL used to go in The
"\program files\common\dreamweaver\source control\" folder, but I
can't find an equivalent folder in Dreamweaver CS3. Can anyone
point me in the right direction?

fnOptionF12 will work.
fn tells the keyboard to send the F-xx instead of the special function.
And like I said there is an option in the System Preference to reverse the use of fn and make the F-xx keys work as F-xx instead of the special function.

Dreamweaver CS3 and FMS3

It is possible to connect to the FMS 3 via Dreamweaver CS3?
I've upgraded to FMS 3 and now Dreamweaver CS3 will not allow
connection as it no longer recogises the new RTMP url for FMS3, it
keeps asking for the instance name.
Previously with FMS 3 the PAth was
rtmp//:ipaddress/app/instance
then stream name in the stream box.
Now it is not required so Dreamweaver is screaming at me.
Is there a code work around?

fnOptionF12 will work.
fn tells the keyboard to send the F-xx instead of the special function.
And like I said there is an option in the System Preference to reverse the use of fn and make the F-xx keys work as F-xx instead of the special function.

Dreamweaver CS3 and Coldfusion Errors

is anyone experiencing errors when using the coldfusion
inbuilt tools within dreamweaver cs3? I am getting errors when
using the insert record server beahaviour. Also i have noticed that
some sql code is not genrated correctly within cs3. This was not as
a problem in versions MX and 8.

Have you posted this question in the Cold Fusion Forums?
http://forums.adobe.com/community/coldfusion
I don't use CF myself and the few CF coders I know have long since moved to Eclipse/ColdFusion Builder.

Editing a Web Photo Album Created With Dreamweaver CS3 and Fireworks CS3

I created a web photo album with DW CS3 and FW CS3. I want to
add and delete some of the photos in the collection. So far, the
only way I have been able to do this is to recreate the whole thing
from scratch with all the correct pictures in the target folder. Is
there an easier way?

I could be wrong (we only test Adobe widgets for the quality
of their output
code, not for features, or lack of features) but recreation,
as Patty said,
might be the only way. If you have a development budget, you
might want to
take a look at some commercial tools that would have the
features and
capabilities you want or need.

Mac computer: New Nikon d300s, CS3, and Camera Raw

I just purchased a Nikon d300s. I had a Nikon d50, Mac, iPhoto, CS3, and Camera Raw 4.6.0.30. With Nikon d50, no problem opening an image from iPhoto into Camera Raw/CS3. With the new D300s, the image opens into CS3 but does not open into Camera Raw. Do I have to buy CS4?

No, you do not have to. You can alternatively use the DNG Converter, which will process your D300S NEF files into DNG files, which can then be opened in CR 4.6 in CS3. The latest version of the DNG Converter, which supports the D300S, is currently in Release Candidate phase and is available here:

Dreamweaver CS3 and Athlon 64

I just installed Creative Suite 3 Web Premium on my computer.
When I run Dreamweaver CS3, PerfMon shows the processor spiking to
between 80-100% every few seconds. Avg. pages/sec and disk queue
length don't seem to be affected. This happen when I'm actively
working on page(s). If Dreamweaver is idle, the processor does not
spike.
My computer is running:
Windows XP Pro - 32 bit
AMD Athlon 64 3400+
2 GB of RAM
55 GB hard drive, 20 GB free
Dreamweaver is using around 76 MB of ram, and this remains
constant as the CPU spikes.
Are there any known issues with running Dreamweaver CS3 on
Athlon 64, or has anyone else experienced this problem?

Spikes in cpu usage by itself is not a problem. DW does some
processing
(such as updating remote file lock status) during "idle" time
to give
user more cpu to complete tasks.
Are you seeing lags trying to complete a task? That would be
a problem.
If so, please provide more details.
Thanks,
Randy

Dreamweaver CS3 and Windows 8 Issues

I have Dreamwever CS3 and Windows 8 and I keep getting errors that can only be resolved by closing down DW and losing the work I have processed so far. I happens mostly when I use extentions such as Webassaist Data Bridge. I have visited their forum but they advised me to checkout you trouble shooting service.
Please advise
tonytanner257

Hi,
If Dreamweaver is working fine without the extensions, I am not sure if we should be troubleshooting Dreamweaver. Just to be sure, Windows 8 is not a supported version for Dreamweaver CS3. It could possibly work, but wouldn't have been tested on Windows 8 as Adobe supports only the previous two versions of any software.
This is my best answer. You could wait for other experts for their opinion.
Thanks,
Preran
