Old Website Mess in Dreamweaver CS4

I'm redesigning my company's website for them, and when I import their Index html into my Dreamweaver CS4, it's a mess, with everything set to the left in a long, list down the page. When I open it in Dreamweaver 8 on the company computers, however, it opens fine... but I'd much rather not work on such an old version of Dreamweaver. I'd also like to be able to incorporate it easily with my other CS4 apps.
Do I need to upgrade the version, or how can I fix these problems?

File not found: import file://localhost/css/title.css: Operation not permitted
File not found: import file://localhost/css/home.css: Operation not permitted
File not found: import file://localhost/css/Nav4IE7.css: Operation not permitted
localhost refers to your local computer the reference probably should simply read css/title.css to make it document relative where css is the directory and title.css the actual stylesheet.
You have no background-color set (or background-color is set to transparent) but you have set a color. Make sure that cascading of colors keeps the text reasonably legible.
If you set a text color, a BG color may be required. Just a friendly warning in case you use red on red or something similar
font-family: You are encouraged to offer a generic family as a last alternative
Well, again, pretty clear. All font definitions should not only point to specific font names liek "Arial", "Helvetica" or "Times New Roman", but also have the generic serif, sans-serif or symbol definitions attached as a fallback measure. After all, text rendering depends on locally installed typefaces and some of them may not be available.
In (x)HTML+CSS, floated elements need to have a width declared. Only elements with an intrinsic width (html, img, input, textarea, select, or object) are not affected
Again, not all too difficult to understand. Elements that use float alignment can have variablke widths if not constrained. This will prevent other page elements from aligning correctly. A common application are sidebars, which for design reasons you always want to have a fixed width, so it is a good idea to define a width for the DIV that holds it, or otehr wise otehr page elements may go over or under it, obscuring information or rendering links unclickable.

Center website VERTICAL in Dreamweaver CS4

Hello anyone,
I would like to center my website VERTICALLY in Dreamweaver CS4.
I am new at this and don't understand code language, so please use 'design-view' language if possible.
Thanks!!!

It's not a question of centering vertically in CS4, but doing so reliably in all browsers. Horizontal centering is easy. Vertical centering is not. The following tutorials explain how to do it:
http://www.jakpsatweb.cz/css/css-vertical-center-solution.html
http://murphy.cz/victoria-s-vertical-centering/
Warning: they're not written in "design view" language. If you want to achieve a reasonable level of proficiency in web design, you need to learn how to use HTML and CSS.

Website created in Dreamweaver CS4 doesn't look right in CS6

I used to have an old version of Dreamweaver (CS4 I think) and my laptop got taken out by a lightening strike. I have had to purchase Dreamweaver CS6 and I have loaded up my website (files recovered from hard drive) but the pages don't look right - wrong colours, wrong font, text missing, buttons not displayed properly etc. any help gratefully received!

Are you sure site files on your hard drive were not damaged by the electrical surge?
Can you GET replacement files from your remote server?

How to Make Dreamweaver CS4/Flash CS4 Website Function on all Latest Mobile Devices

Hello!
I am trying to add code into my Dreamweaver CS4 file and/or Flash CS4 file in order to have the website I have created work across all of the latest mobile devices as well as traditional online systems. My flash file has a transparent stage, and my dreamweaver file has a full-screen background image. I have reviewed various tutorials and articles available online, and some advocate simply adding code, which does not seem to be working for me, while others suggest having a similar separate site created solely for mobile devices. If this is the best option, I don't know how that should be set up. What is the best path to take with this?
This is the collection of various pieces of code I have tried adding to my files:

I have tried various combinations of the code listed above, but nothing seems to be working. I am not sure as to the positioning of the code, and maybe that is the problem, or maybe it is because this code in not for CS4, or not appropriate for my project. I also do not know what code should be inside the Flash file, nor what should should be inside the Dreamweaver file.
Thank you in advance for any assistance!

Hi
To add to what Gramps has said, Adobe has ceased developing its flash player for ALL mobile devices so do not use Flash for any mobile device.
Depending on the complexity of your Flash program you may be able to recreate it using Edge, but the code generated by Edge does not work in IE8 or below.
For details on Edge, see - http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/edge/

There is no simple code to add that will display the same on all mobile devices....
you do know that the iProducts (iPhone, iPad, etc) don't display Flash at all, right?
So as a start for "functioning on all latest mobile devices" you should drop any Flash content you have and move on.

Getting Website on Search Engines? I used Dreamweaver CS4.

I have a website that was launched recently, which was created with Dreamweaver CS4. After using some search engines, I found that on some of them, some of my pages were appearing on the first page - however, none of them are the home page. Of the pages that do appear, some of them don't even contain the keywords that I typed in to the search engine.
Here's my question: what do I need to do to get my website higher up on search engines?

Hi,
first: the "magic word" to google is: SEO (search engine optimization). Here you will find how to try to carry out your plans:

Hi..............I have a new Creative Cloud registration and have bought the new Dreamweaver CC but I cannot seem to down load it? My Creative Cloud has downloaded but not my new Dreamweaver CC? I currently have the old Dreamweaver CS4 on my system! Can anyone help?

The first thing you need to do is download and install the Creative Cloud Desktop Application. Then, open that program and click on the Apps tab. You download and install creative cloud applications from there.
If your computer doesn't meet the minimum requirements to run a given program, it won't show up under the Apps tab.
Once they are installed, you'll need to go to your Applications folder (Mac) or Program Files (x86) folder (PC) to start the program itself.

[Dreamweaver CS4] Absolute & Relative Position - Referenzpunkt und Probleme WebSite

Hallo Community!
Ich habe mich heute hier registriert, und dies ist auch mein erster Beitrag, allerdings habe ich schon des "öfteren" auch hier nach relevanten Hilfen für mich gesucht und diese auch meistens gefunden, allerdings hänge ich jetzt wieder bei einem Problem das so einfach (für mich) im Moment nicht zu lösen ist. Auf jeden Fall freut es mich, jetzt aktiv angemeldet zu sein und hoffe auf eine gute Zusammenarbeit! Es ist mir auch wichtig zu sagen, dass dies nicht das erste Forum ist, wo ich dieses Problem poste, ich bitte euch allerdings dies nicht als eine Art von "Spam" zu sehen, sonder es geht mir darum mehr Meinungen zu dem Problem einzuholen! Danke!
Zum Projekt - Kenntnissen:
Ich mache im Moment im Dreamweaver CS4 eine Website für meinen Vater, und mein bisheriges Wissen habe ich aus Tuts, Learning by Doing, teilweisen Programmierkenntnissen aus dem Studium und viel Mühe Ich möchte allerdings tiefer in das Thema einsteigen und werde mir deshalb in naher Zukunft literarische Unterstützung besorgen ! Dies am Rande damit ihr evtl. nicht schockiert seid, wie ich die Seite bis jetzt "gebaut" habe!
Aber nun zu meinem Problem:
Zuerst die Seite: www.multimedia-horvath.at
Nun folgendes, ich habe ein allgemeines Problem mit den AP - Divs bzw. allgemein mit der Positionierung von Grafiken uä.! Nur hatte das bis dato nicht den Effekt dass ich nicht weiterarbeiten konnte - jetzt schon!
Es ist so, dass ich auf der Portfolio --> Multimedia Seite rechts daneben ein AP Div hinzufügen möchte um jeden einzelnen Punkt der SUbnavi mit anderem Content darzustellen!
D.h. also. dass ich über die Hauptnavi Portfolio zur Subnavi komme, und dann dort zB auf "Multimedia" klicke und dann rechts daneben Content + Image steht. Ich habe (werde) zu diesem Zwecke den Code der jeweiligen Seite kopieren und bis auf die Beschriftung und den Content beim selben belassen. (Man hat mir von Frames, Iframes abgeraten )
Allerdings ist es nun so, dass ich die Buttons der Subnavi testweise einmal in div-tags eingebettet habe, und einmal als normale img´s importiert habe. Soweit so gut, die SubNavi passt dann im Groben auch, aber wenn ich dann versuche ein ap-div mit img´s und content rechts daneben zu platzieren verschiebt sich erstens alles und das ap-div ist dann plötzlich über meinem Header, und da hilft dann auch kein verschieben nichts mehr ! --> Dies passiert alles wenn ich die Position auf "Relativ" gestellt habe. Anders bei absolut, da steht das Ding dann wo ich es hin"mache", aber auch nicht unbedingt ganz genau, denn im Design Modus steht es dann komplett anders als im Live-View oder im Browser!
kann es denn sein, dass ich irgendeine Grundeinstellung falsch habe? Dass mein absoluter Punkt bereits falsch gesetzt ist und davon ableitend auch mit dem relativen Positionen etwas nicht stimmt?
Leider habe ich dieses Problem auch bereits auf der Homeseite, allerdings habe ichs da durch langes probieren und versuchen geschafft dass es zumindes vernünftig dargestellt wird, glücklich bin ich damit aber nicht wirklich.
So, ich hoffe dass mein Problem verständlich ist, und würde mich über Kommentare von eurer Seite sehr freuen!
Auch über jedwede konstruktive Kritik zu dem bisherig "gebauten" nehme ich sehr gerne entgegen!
€dit: Was mir noch eingefallen ist:
oftmals ist meine Entwurfs bzw. Live-Ansicht komplett anderst wie dann im Browser - ich meine im Prinzip kein Problem solange es in den Browsern dann passt, aber kann es denn sein dass im Entwurf teilweise alles auf einer anderen Position ist zB und im Browser dann stimmt ?
Vielen Dank im Voraus,
LG

Ähm, naja, du verwendest AP DIVs - Webdesign von vorgestern. Da braucht man nicht mehr zu zu sagen. Schrott, Schrott, Schrott. Wegschmeißen, mit richtigem CSS und konsequent relativer Ausrichtung und Formattierung der Elemente arbeiten. Klingt jetzt gemein, ist aber so. Du klammerst dich zu sehr an ein bestimmtes Design, und vergißt die Struktur, deswegen wird das nie funktionieren. You know, Vererbung von Eigenschaften, IDs, Klassen und so was...

XML Parsing Error when opening Dreamweaver CS4

Hi guys, I downloaded a trial version of Dreamweaver CS4
which was downloaded from the adobe website and once i try
installing it it comes up with 'please delete current menus.xml
file and then rename menus.bak file to menus.xml'. Once I tried
that the new renamed xml file has the same problem as the old one.
Now, When i opened up the file in Firefox it came up with an XML
Parsing error. The exact error is as below:
XML Parsing Error: prefix not bound to a namespace
Location:
file:///C:/Program%20Files/Adobe/Adobe%20Dreamweaver%20CS4/configuration/Menus/menus.xml
Line Number 12, Column 5: <shortcut
mmstring:name="menus/DWShortcuts_Main_Quit" key="Opt+F4"
command="dw.quitApplication()" id="DWShortcuts_Main_Quit" />
----^
I am running windows XP SP3. Can anyone offer an
insight/possible solution? I've already tried the following methods
which have been suggested by other forums:
CS4 clean script on Adobe website
Microsoft installer clean up

deleting Cache.db
deleting Macromedia folder
deleting faulty line in menus.xml file
Is there anything else I can do? Thanks guys!

1) Close Dreamweaver
2) Navigate to the Design.xml file and rename it.
3) Launch Dreamweaver and it will recreate the Design.xml file
The AppData folder is hidden by default on Windows, so you need to enable the option to view hidden files and folders in order to locate it, as follows:
In Vista/Windows 7, select Start > Computer > Organize > Folder and Search Options > View. In Advanced settings, choose Show hidden files and folders.
In Windows XP, select Start > My Computer > Tools > Folder Options > View. In Advanced settings, choose Show hidden files and folders.
Once you turn on this option, hidden folders are displayed as dimmed icons to remind you to treat them with care.

Problems controlling divs with dreamweaver cs4

Hi all, so I have been hard coding my website and have had great success with the layout and everything. I am having trouble with dreamweaver cs4, does anyone know if cs4 is compatible with html5? My silicone cupcake liners website looks great but a nice transition to dreamweaver would save a lot of work.

DWCS4 won't be able to correctly read the html5 semantic tags like <nav><aside> or <header> while in Live View. The built in version of the quasi-webkit browser is just too old.
Design View will work for the most part, but does get confused by certain things within HTML5 specific tags, so that will look even more broken than normal.
It also will not automatically generate any HTML5 specific code, there are no HTML5 menu options and there is no update to make it do that.
The program itself is no longer supported by Adobe, being the 5th version removed from "current"...

Dreamweaver CS4 and SVN

Hi all,
I decided it's time to delve into subversion as my projects are starting to get bigger and more complex.
I'm still in dreamweaver cs4 at the mo and using a mac with MAMP as my local server.
I followed this tutorial (for CS5 but thought it could be translated to CS4) - http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/using_subversion_pt1.html
I managed to set up the SVN on the mac using terminal but could not locate the file svn-passwd, instead found 'passwd' in the repo directory. So I added a password to this in hopes this would be OK.
When I try to set up the svn in dreamweaver, I get the following error "Server and project are not accessible."
I have my website file under a directory in htdocs and in a seperate directory called svn I have the svn files, this is also in htdocs.
I haven't touched MAMP so I'm assuming I should of added something to this or it's to do with the password file.
Any help or pointers would be appreciated.

Dreamweaver CS4 uses an old Subversion client (1.4), which is incompatible with later versions. See: http://helpx.adobe.com/dreamweaver/kb/error-svn-155021-cannot-update.html.
Even if you manage to get it working on your machine, be prepared for a lot of problems. Subversion integration in Dreamweaver has not been very successful. I tested it at the time DW CS4 was released because I needed to write about it in a book, but I abandoned it soon after. Most people who use Subversion with Dreamweaver seem to end up using a separate Subversion client rather than relying on the DW version. Apart from version incompatibilities, the main problem with the DW implementation is that it doesn't perform the full range of Subversion commands.

Dreamweaver CS4 Serial Number Problems

Hi guys, I bought a new copy of Dreamweaver CS4 a couple of years ago, installed it, and its run fine. I don't build websites for a living, have just built one for myself and a couple of groups I'm involved with.
Just a few weeks back, I went to use the program and it told me to enter my Serial Number. I thought this was a bit wierd as I'd been using the program for a couple of years, and entered the Serial Number provided on the packaging when first installed. When I entered the Serial Number a red X appeared next to the number and the message "The serial number you entered is not valid"
Why would this have happened? Has the program been corrupted? I've been using the program without any problems until this started, now I can't seem to get into it. How can I fix this problem?
Many thanks.

Hi everyone, thanks so much for your replies, I really appreciate it. Sorry for my slow response, I have to travel a bit for my work so have been away lately. Jim, I have checked the serial number a few times to make sure I didn't mess it up. But am still having issues.
Carey, the problem I'm having isn't with trying to install it on a new pc. The problem is with my two current pc's. I first loaded the product to my main pc approx 2 years ago, and its been working fine. I installed it to my laptop more recently when my main pc went in for some repairs. Its been working fine on the laptop too. However, in December last year, my main pc was struck with a virus. I don't know if this was at all related to the issues I'm now having with my serial number, but the next time I went to use Dreamweaver, it started giving me a countdown for when I'd need to install my serial number. When that countdown reached 30 days it locked me out. When I entered my serial number, the red X appeared next to it and said "The serial number you entered is not valid".
The program worked fine on my laptop, until I went to use it a couple of weeks ago, and now when I open it an error message pops up which reads:
"Licencing for this product has stopped"
"This product has encountered a problem which requires that you restart your computer before it can be launched"
Then it goes on to tell me that if the problem continues I should contact Adobe, and it gives the error message: "Error: 148:3"
When I restart my computer, I get the same error message.
I have been really happy with the product. I don't want to install it on a new pc, I just want to sort out the serial number issues that have started and to get it working again on my existing pc and laptop.
Thanks again everyone for your help.

Uploading old website from DW 3.0 to newer version

Hello,
I have my current website done up and updated from DW 3.0 on an old PC. Its time to upgrade to the new Adobe DW software, but unsure if and how the new software will accept my old website info.
My questions are:
a) will the latest version of DreamWeaver be able to import/upload my old data, files and folders etc?
b) my old website was done from a PC. I use a Mac now. Is the current version of DW mac friendly?
c) assuming there is a mac version of DW, will it, once loaded, be able to import my old website files, and repost them?
Im pretty green with all this so any help whatsoever is greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Chris

Well, first off you won't be able to upgrade from 3.0 to CS4 (10.0). One reason because Adobe only allows upgrades from the previous 3 versions and second, because you are moving from one OS to another.
To answer the Mac question, yes DW runs fine on a Mac. I run CS3 on my Powerbook right now and am planning to run CS4 on a new Macbook Pro once Snow Leopard is released.
With regards to the files and structure of your site, copying the files from the old PC to the new Mac will be fine. I am not sure if the site definitions that are saved will work. You may have to redefine the site and re-enter information such as FTP information back into Dreamweaver. I am not positive about this though so if someone else knows more about this I would trust their answer.
