Open URL with Dreamweaver
I'm a webdeveloper who works with tons of different pages each day. Many of these are sent as URLs by others in the organization, via email, etc.
To increase efficiency, I'd like to use our testing environment to automatically open URLs with Dreamweaver. So, basically, open a URL in the test environment (test.example.com/testing123.html), then have a link on the page to open that exact page with Dreamweaver.
Question is....does anyone know a way to open a specific file with a specific desktop application from the browser??
In Firefox, you can click file and Save Page As, then save the page as an HTML file. Under Tools>Options or Firefox>Preferences (Mac) you can go to the Applications tab and add HTML as a file type and select DW as the default app to open them.
Personally, I'd caution against that because it messes up things that you really should be using Firefox or IE to open. (CHMs or application help files for example).

Open url with createTempFile fails
I am deploying a Java application which needs to use a web browser-based application to draw some data and save the data as snapshots. It works fine on my localhost version, but in the deployment environment, it fails. The browser launches on the deployment server but the I think it cannot find my temporary file for the URL because it fails to receive the messages I am sending it. The code below does not throw any exceptions so that is my best guess.
If it's a path problem, how do I get the temp file to be seen by the browser and load the page properly?
try {
File shortcut = File.createTempFile("DisplayURLs", ".html");
shortcut.deleteOnExit();
shortcut = shortcut.getCanonicalFile();
PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter(new FileWriter(shortcut));
// ... html statements ...
out.println("location.href=\"" + urls[0] + "\";");
// ... more html statements ...
out.close();
Runtime.getRuntime().exec(new String[] {"/opt/sfw/bin/firefox", shortcut.toURL().toString()});
catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println(" browser failure "+e.getLocalizedMessage());

Dreamweaver's toolbar suddenly disappeared and I can't open files with Dreamweaver
I am using Dreamweaver CS5. I use it practically every day and have for several years.
Suddenly, when I open Dreamweaver, the toolbar items (File, Tools, Windows) don't show up and when I try to open a file using Dreamweaver from the Finder, nothing happens either. The application seems to open but nothing shows up or works.
A few days ago, I had to restore everything from Time Machine after a hardware fix at Apple. Dreamweaver worked fine for a few hours, then this happened....
I just uninstalled and reinstalled Dreamweaver - no difference.
Does anyone understand what the problem might be? Maybe some small setting, extension, or file?I'd try clearing the program cache: Deleting a corrupted cache file
Then Restoring Prefs if the above doesn't work: http://helpx.adobe.com/dreamweaver/kb/restore-preferences-dreamweaver-cs4-cs5.html
Then a clean reinstall if neither work: Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6 -

How to open url with two varible
Hi everyone
Could you tell what wrong is in this line.
String x="http://localhost/Test.php?memberID=ww&movieID=mm";
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /c start iexplore "+x);
why does my Test.php always only get the first parameter?
Test.php only got member id is ww.
However movieID become undeclared.
Is '&' not working in java?
Thank you very one
Yang Bin
The browser is trying to parse the ampersand and following characters as an entity.
You could try this:
String path = "http://localhost/Test.php?";
String parameters = "memberID=ww&movieID=mm";
try {
String request = path + java.net.URLEncoder.encode(parameters);
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /c start iexplore " + request);
} catch (Exception e) {
}This may also require modification of your php.ini file (not sure).

Hope this helps... -

Dreamweaver very slow when opening files with external links
Is there any way to fix Dreamweaver CS5 (Windows 7, 64bit) when opening files with external references?
For example, I have a very simple CSS file, and toward the top the file has a line that says:
@import url("https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Ubuntu:500,700");
This causes the file to take around 20 seconds to open in DW. If I comment out the line or remove it, the file opens almost instantly. This behaviour is also present in files that contain an SSI.
DW often crashes before being able to open the file and I need to restart the app.
Can I disable DW from attempting to load the references?? It's obviously what is causing the issue IMO and would love to make DW workable again!"Enable Related Files" isn't the fix for this issue. It's slightly different - I wanted to still load related files, but only the ones local to the file I was editing.
The fix was to use DW's Resolve To IP Address feature. It required adding a registry value - it fixed the issue straight away

Need help with URLs (Mamp/Dreamweaver/Apple Lion)
I'm in the midst of a major upgrade - Apple Leopard > Lion and MAMP 1.x to 2.0.5. I also installed CS3, with Dreamweaver, on my new laptop.
Anyway, everything seems to be falling in place, except for one major snag - I can't view my web pages in a browser.
On my old laptop, I have it set up so that I can view each of my websites at a simple URL, like this: http://SL. My sites are stored in a top level folder named Sites.
I used the settings in my old computer as a guide in setting up a site in Dreamweaver and MAMP/Hosts on my new laptop, but I can't view a page at http://SL. http://localhost/SL and http://localhost don't work, either, whereas http://localhost:8888 prompts a "Forbidden" message.
However, I can access phpMyAdmin at http://localhost:8888/phpMyAdmin/?lang=en-iso-8859-1&language=English
When I was setting up the site in Dreamweaver, I got the following error message:
"Dreamweaver cannot use the prefix you entered to displaly live data. Please double-check your site configuration or click on Help for more information on how to correct this problem. (HTTP Error: 0)." I didn't explore the Help menu immediately, and I can't recreate the error message now.
I read somewhere that I should put my html folders in the htdocs folder so I tried that with one site, with the same result.
Anyway, can anyone tell me what I have to do to make a website located at Users > (Me) > Sites > SL display at http://SL?
Thanks.In MAMP Pro setup ports for Apache/MySQL to 80/3306 then setup virtual host in Hosts tab. MAMP doesn't allow extending virtual hosts, only MAMP Pro does that. Are you using MAMP or MAMP Pro?
best,

Opening a url with parameters in an application
I'm able to open a url in a browser from my application, but I want to open a url with parameters.
for instanse http://mypage.asp?parameter=a
You get a file not found. Is this possible?
I'm currently using
Runtime.getRuntime().exec( "cmd /C start " + url);Found the answer -- you have to put the url in quotes lest the ampersands parse the end off.

Cannot "open with" a htm file with dreamweaver :((
As the title states, I am trying to open my htm files with
dreamweaver, which should work as it worked before on another
computer. However, already when I installed dreamweaver on this
computer I got a message saying that my computer is a little
retarded, as although it's windows xp it does not have the latest
update or whatever.
But anyhow, I don't see how this has something to do with my
problem (but maybe you do?) : If I right-click on the htm file and
then click "open with", dreamweaver is not listed as a program at
all. If I click browse and search for it manually, mark it &
click "ok" it still opens the file with internet explorer.... grr
Did anyone have this problem before? Is there a way to fix
it? Please, I'm very desperate here and your help is very very
welcome!
Thanks a lot!is this file you want to open a local site folder?
open dreamweaver.
dw menu->site->manage sites
define a new site to the folder that contains this file.
then open the file from the dw Files Panel

Firefox problems with Open URL vi
I am using Open URL in Default browser to display the contents of a file.
If IE is the default browser and the file is xyz.htm it works but not if the file is xyz.html.
On the other hand if Firefox is the default browser it works if the file is xyz.html but not if the file is xyz.htm.
One further "quirk" with Firefox is that Firefox must be running for the file to display. If Firefox is not running Firefox starts but then instead of displaying the file I want it goes to a web site that sells Czech language books!
Is there any way I can resolve these differences? Can I find out what is the default browser? Can I see if Firefox is already running? Any suggestions?
Note: this is all in windows. I haven't tried it yet in Mac OS.
DavidI think you're referring to the "Open URL in Default Browser" that you access from the Function Palette->All Functions->Application->Help subpalette. That VI is a simple wrapper around the "Open URL in Default Browser core" VI. Basically, to get it to work with Firefox you need to bypass the "Search and Replace" operation that it's doing, and then append a space to the URL that you enter and feed that directly to the "Open URL in Default Browser core" VI:
This will still work if IE is the default browser

How can I associate file types with Dreamweaver so they open automatically?
I've just installed Dreamweaver CS4 under Windows XP
Professional but I've an issue with which files types are
associated with Dreamweaver.
When I first ran DW CS4 the application invited me to select
which type of files to associate with Dreamweaver: .css, .js,
.xslt, php, etc. I deselected a few as I was using another editor
for those at the time. However, I would now like to associate PHP
files with Dreamweaver CS4, so that when I double-click a PHP file
in Windows Explorer it opens in Dreamweaver CS4.
How can I do this?
Is there a way to run the initial dialog box again that
invited me to select which files to associate with Dreamweaver?
Thanks in advance
GarethHowever, I would

Browse to any PHP file with Windows Explorer, right click
then select Open

"Always..." box to
make this the default file association)

I uninstalled and went to preferences/file types editors to set up ps6 as primary but I still get some error.After i click image in dreamweaver,I get this message-Unable to launch...Please be sure that application exists and that there is enough memory to run it..
Can you Launch Photoshop normally from your desktop shortcuts?

Opens With Dreamweaver association not working
I recently did a clean install of Windows Vista and
reinstalled my applications - including MS FrontPage and
Dreamweaver 8. I've gone through and associated the file extensions
(i.e. .asp, .aspx, .htm) with Dreamweaver, but whenever I
double-click on a file, it opens with FrontPage. The icon
associated with the file is the Dreamweaver icon and the properties
for the file states that it opens with Dreamweaver 8. I can even
right-click on the file and select "Edit with Dreamweaver 8" and it
still opens in FrontPage. Anyone have suggestions to fix
this?Is there a "Set Default button in Vista's file association
dialog panel" ?
