Problem attaching external Css...

Hello all,
I have been using Dw cs3 for a few months now and currently experiencing the following problem:
When defining a site root folder in osx it will not accept  / or \ when chaning the / it creates another directory under mac osx. when opening my file then attaching the Css I think that it cannot find the proper file to attach it to.it will insert the Css but will not change the style of the site.
I wanted to see if it was me or the mac, so I went back to windows installed everthing under C:/files for my site   started DW opened the file and attached the external Css. Worked fine and changed instantly... so I am confused as to is there a way for me to define my local site in mac that its different? am I missing somthing?
thanks

This isn't normal behavior, you may have an issue with your current installation of Dreamweaver. You may want to email Adobe support to see if there's something you can do to avoid having to do a reinstall, other wise this may be the route you have to go.

  • Problem attaching external .jpgs to movie clips

    Hi There,
    I am not able to attach a file (.jpg) outside of flash to a
    movieClip without it changing the scale of the image. Stepping
    through with the debugger, its clear the image loads correctly til
    it is applied to the movie clip, I assume with the attachBitmap
    function. It scales it up a little more than 50% and I can't figure
    out where that scale is coming from. It appears to scale up from
    the upper left corner. We have checked to make sure all the
    movieclips within our flash file are the exact same size as the
    image files (150 X 150). Please see code example. Everything is
    fine except for this. We tried using the matrix transformation to
    down size the images but the quality was not acceptable even with
    using smoothing and pixel snapping.
    So, the basic question being, how do we use attachBitmap and
    have it preserve the original size? Any ideas for how to get this
    to work is greatly appreciated...
    thanks,
    Laura

    well I'm afraid there are a few things that are not quite
    right with the method here - however, the real problem is most
    likely that the original image resolution is higher than 72 dpi -
    it must be set at standard screen res or Flash will scale it up
    uniformly to work at 72.
    I think that you may have more success with something more
    like this:

  • Template that does not let an external css to be attached

    Hi
    i have a template with en editable region for mainContent.
    and it is applied to all the pages in my site.
    now i want to attach an external css file to one of the pages
    that is based on that template, and i get this message:
    "a request to create a new style, link or import failed. if
    you work with an instance of a template, make sure that you have an
    editable region in the head tag".
    so i went to my template and selected all the head tag and
    made it an editable region.
    but i still get the same message.
    what can i do?
    best regards

    I am having the exact same problem but my template was saved as a template. I created a page from my template and made editable regions, when I go to create a style it tells me "A request to create a new STYLE, LINK, or IMPORT failed. If you are working with an instance of a template, make certain that there is an editable region within the head tag." I've tried making an editable region within the head tag and it still doesn't work.
    Here is my code.

  • Attaching a external CSS stylesheet crashes Dreamweaver CC

    When I either choose Attach CSS Style Sheet from the Menu: Format > CSS Styles > Attach Stlye Sheet or using the + (symbol) on the the CSS Designer panel for Sources, I get no response or dreamweaver crashes completely. Just wonder if anyone else is experiencing this problem or if anyone has suggestions to why this might be happening?

    I tried restoring the preferences and it still doesn't work. When I go to select Attach Existing CSS File from the CSS Designer panel it will not let me click on that option the pop up menu just dissappears and nothing happens. If I try selecting the same option from the Format menu it just crashes Dreamweaver.

    Thanks,

    Hi jafy,
    Please make your textfield dynamically using as3. Now your CSS is correct but you created the textfield by manual… it’s automatically add styles and other html code on textfield
    While I was using manually crated textfield… I trace the html text content from textfield it was showing like:
    <TEXTFORMAT LEADING="2">
         <P ALIGN="CENTER"> <FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE="16" COLOR="#000000" LETTERSPACING="0" KERNING="0"><B>Option Title</B></FONT> </P>
    </TEXTFORMAT>
    <TEXTFORMAT LEADING="2">
         <P ALIGN="CENTER"> <FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE="16" COLOR="#000000" LETTERSPACING="0" KERNING="0"> Google Search</FONT> </P>
    </TEXTFORMAT>
    <TEXTFORMAT LEADING="2">
         <P ALIGN="CENTER"> <FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE="16" COLOR="#000000" LETTERSPACING="0" KERNING="0"> <A HREF="http://www.google.com" TARGET="">Google Search</A> </FONT> </P>
    </TEXTFORMAT>
    <TEXTFORMAT LEADING="2">
         <P ALIGN="CENTER"><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE="16" COLOR="#000000" LETTERSPACING="0" KERNING="0"> <A HREF="http://www.yahoo.com" TARGET="">Yahoo Search</A></FONT></P>
    </TEXTFORMAT>
    <TEXTFORMAT LEADING="2">
         <P ALIGN="CENTER"><FONT FACE="Arial" SIZE="16" COLOR="#000000" LETTERSPACING="0" KERNING="0"> <A HREF="http://www.bing.com" TARGET="">Bing search</A></FONT></P>
    </TEXTFORMAT>
    Now I rewrite your as3 code and added that here:
    var cssLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
    cssLoader.load(new URLRequest("style.css"));
    cssLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onCSSFileLoaded);
    function onCSSFileLoaded(event:Event):void {
        var st:StyleSheet = new StyleSheet();
        st.parseCSS(cssLoader.data);
        var xmlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
        xmlLoader.load(new URLRequest("linkNewD.xml"));
        var opt1txt:TextField = new TextField();
        opt1txt.styleSheet=st;
        myMc1.addChild(opt1txt);
        xmlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, displayHTML);
        function displayHTML(e:Event):void {
            var xmlData:XML=new XML(e.target.data);
            opt1txt.htmlText=xmlData.Header1.option.*;
            //trace(myMc1.opt1txt.htmlText);
            opt1txt.autoSize = TextFieldAutoSize.LEFT;
    CSS Code:
    p{font-size: 25px; color:#ffcc00;}
    a {color: #6a4100; text-decoration:none;}
    a:link { color:#333333; text-decoration:none; }
    a:hover {color:#ff0000; text-decoration:none;}

  • When I try to attach my css style sheet Dreamweaver gives me an error saying that my .css file appears to be an .html file and will not attach. How do I fix this so I can attach my style sheet?

    I have built a css style sheet in Dreamweaver. When I try to attach it to my html website, it prompts me that my "css file appears to be an .html file and cannot attach". I've tried removing the /* */ as suggested by other forums, but this has not resolved the issue. I was using css style sheets with no problem 2 days ago. Now I get that error message. How do I fix this so I can attach my style sheet?

    What does the code of the CSS file look like?
    An external CSS file needs to be written in CSS only (no html tags like <html>, <body>, <head>, etc ).
    It also must have a .css file extension, if yours has a .html extension it won't work.

  • Unable to embed External CSS file, dropdown list,filter panel and dimension filter are not working in SAP Design Studio Tool

    Hello Everyone,
    I am new to SAP Design Studio. I am working on creating dashboards and I am using Design Studio 1.2 version. Please suggest some solutions for the following issues. Thanks in Advance.
    1. External CSS file which is embeded using custom CSS option under "application component properties" is not working.
        * I kept the external CSS file inside repository-> my application folder.
    2. During runtime, getting javascript error while selecting '-' option from filter panel.
    3. Unable to select or type dimension name under "dimension filer component" properties.
    4. Getting runtime error for dropdown list, and I have inserted the following code under "onStartup" option of Application component properties.
    "DROPDOWN_1.setItems(DS_1.getMemberList("PRODUCTREF", MemberPresentation.INTERNAL_KEY, MemberDisplay.TEXT, 20));
    and dimension values are not populated in auto suggest."

    There should be an Error Log under View > Error Log that gives you more details of these errors.  Could you add that?  There is also a View > Script Problems log that provides more details as well.

  • How to add external css file from _edge.js file

    I have tried to add in html page, but when I save edge project it removes it.
    I am able to add external js file in scripts:[] in _edge.js file
    What we can add inside resources:[] ?
    And is there any way to add external css in edge files except in html page and through javascript?

    ...and which kind of files can be included under
    resources: [] ??
    I have a .json file that I need to be included in a template (and also included in projects created from that template).
    The only way I found to do this is to add it as a script. The problem then is that all included "scripts" will be evaluated when the page is loaded, which will fail since it's a json file. External dependencies makes it impossible for me to change the format of the json file...

  • Attach external documents to SAP

    Hi
    we are planning to attach external documents to purchase order in ME22N screen. & every month 10gb files
    I would like to know the below points
    do we have any limitation for attachment?
    what potential risks are involved using this functionality?
    Will the transactions/SAP performance be impacted?
    when do we need to go for DMS?
    Thanks
    Raju

    A DMS record points to a content server on which resides the attached document. If you wish not to use DMS, then attaching documents at PO will take some time, given the size of you attachments. I do not believe the performance will take a major hit, there should not be major problems with that. You can always assess the performance by attaching big size document with POs in your Development and Quality systems.
    DMS is a centralized content management solution provided by SAP. It offers to store various kinds of documents such as drawings, designs, commercial/technical specifications, equipment specifications, etc. there is not a set formula as when to opt for DMS and when to not. You may explore the features of SAP DMS and if the business finds it a value addition, you can use it.

  • AS3 - External CSS and External text

    I'm going nuts here. I have successfully loaded text from an
    external file. I have successfully loaded styles from external CSS.
    Trace appear to confirm that both have loaded. My Problem is that I
    cannot get the styles to apply to the text.
    I thought that perhaps it was a sequence issue and have tried
    to make sure that the CSS loads before the HTML. I have also
    attempted to apply the style by using a button event (but did not
    include that code) just for testing but that did not work either. I
    did apply the same CSS to text typed in Flash and that was styled
    correctly - just to confirm that the CSS was valid.
    Anyone see what my problem is? Thanks

  • External CSS and Templates

    I am fairly new to using CSS and Dreamweaver having finally taken the plunge and dropped Micromumble mumble...  I am wondering about external CSS and templates.  When I assign a template to the external CSS does the CSS also translate down to the documents that are attached to the template or do each of them need to be attached to the CSS itself to work as well?  Thanks for any help offered.

    Just to clarify, if I have a class to define the color of my links in the template that is used in the uneditable regions but I also use the links in the editable regions, do I need to attach the CSS to the child as well?
    Need to clarify the terms here.
    How is the class defined and what do you mean by attached the CSS?
    Probably easier to explain by example.
    Can you paste the code here?

  • Insert a div box background for one document only while using external CSS style sheet.

    I am trying to set a background image in one of my div boxes, but because I am using an external style sheet it changes it in all my documents. How can I do it with just this one page? Preferably in design mode.

    What i did to slove this problem was:
    Open my external CSS style sheet
    Copy the contents of it
    Remove the CSS link in the one page i wanted to be different.
    Pasted the contents in the <head> under the rest of the CSS rules for that page.
    Then I could set the background for that box w/o altering the other pages..
    I tried the other suggestions, but could not get them to work. Not saying they are wrong, but maybe i was implementing them wrong.

  • External CSS file?

    Do I have to write a CSS rule for every symbol and element in a presentation or can I just specify a general rule for the whole thing?
    For example, how can I specify that all images should have a red border, or all links should change color on hover?
    Shouldn't I be able to create a separate CSS file as in Dreamweaver and just attach it?
    Thanks

    Can i get you to elaborate on this statement? This sounds like something that will work for me.
    I have a text box in my edge composition with a scroll overflow. I have added a class to that text box equivalent to that established in an external css file. In that css i have items to change the look of the scroll bar, text color, and background color.
    I need a little guidance how to fit all these pieces together.
