Properties box problem

I just installed the trial for Dreamweaver CS4. When I open an html file the properties box at the bottom is blank on the right half. I can not see the target or title boxes. Plus the bottom 3rd of the box is missing across the entire box. I can move the box around but not expand it. Any help would be appreciated.

Ask in http://forums.adobe.com/community/dreamweaver
And use the little camera icon to upload – the attachment thingy is broke.
Bon voyage!

Why does a firefox properties box appear when I click on a desktop icon?

I click on a desktop icon, and instead of going to that application, I get a box that says firefox properties, asking what my target is. If I restart the computer, the desktop works for a short time, and then starts the firefox properties box again.

Hello Helena.
You may be having a problem with some extension or plugin that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?

Link Properties box

In my office we noted that in version 8 of Acrobat you cannot keep your link properties box open while navigating to multiple links. Instead this box has to be closed before moving to the next link and/or bookmark. Unlike version 7 which does allow the link properties box to remain open. This feature in my organization is without a doubt amazingly helpful - and will unfortunately prevent us from updating the remaing stations to version 8.
Is this an intended change to the product and/or have there been any patches made to resolve this? The problem my environment has with this change is it increases the work load by doubling the amount of mouse interaction needed to link and/or audit already created links to a PDF package.

Predefined properties BOX don't appear in search option

Hi all,
I'm working with portal 7.00 SP11
I have a problem with 'Predefined properties' search option wich don't appear in the search option .
I have modifed the 'UISearchComponents' to add 'search_predefined_props' in 'Component for Basic Search Function'.
I have created properties and documents with this properties. (correctly with 'how to configure the search UI..04/2007)
In my development portal, all works fine : I have the 'predefined properties box' wich is displayed in my search iview.
But, in my production portal......that doen't work........ and I have transported all modification from DEv sytem to PRD system.
I have read note 872061, and all is installed correctly.
I have search on sdn forum, but any thread with this problem.
Very strange ...
Do you have a suggestion for me?
Thanks
Martine

Hi Martine,
If you have done everything correctly and if it is working on your DEV system but not on your PROD, then it will be very hard to analyze this remotely...
Anyhow, sometimes the ConfigFramework has it's problems with online changes, so at least one try would be a simple restart of the portal server.
Hope it helps

In the shared variable properties box, when enabling aliasing, what is the difference between binding to a project variable vs. to a psp url

In the shared variable properties box, specifically with regard to a the target being an rt target, when enabling aliasing, what is the difference between binding to a project variable vs. to a psp url?

The difference is in the type of variable you are binding it to. A project variable is a variable that lives within the specific project in which it was created. A PSP URL is an address using the Publish-Subscribe Protocol (PSP). You can learn more about PSP URLs here: http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371361G-01/lvconcepts/using_datasocket_technology/#Specifyin...
PSP URLs will enable it to communicate between different machines and also between projects which may or may not be open. The project variable will exist within the project.

"Dialog box "PROBLEM WITH SHORTCUT"

You'll need to find your iTunes folder. It's usually located on your main hard disk under My Documents/My Music/iTunes. Copy this whole folder to another hard drive (if possible) or burn it on a CD (probably will take more than one--depending upon how large your library is) or DVD. Once you have a good backup of your library, try downloading and reinstalling iTunes.

Expanding Box Problem

I have been working all morning to add a horizontal spry menu
bar to the menu_bar section of the Mother Earth Template (
http://www.webshapes.org/template/details/id/200702247034127204)
from Webshapes (
http://www.webshapes.org/)
Anyway, I had to do some crazy positioning to get the
submenus to lign up with the menus and now the submenus will not
display in IE because of an 'expanding box problem' All of the
problems are associated with either my "ul.MenuBarHorizontal ul" or
my "ul.MenuBarHorizontal ul ul"
Can anyone help me with this? I am a beginner with
Dreamweaver and have been having a lot of troubles with it.
Thanks.

Hello Tom, Is it a template related error message?
I would suggest you to use percentages when setting the width
and height values.

Photoshop Elements select tool, when targeting layer or multiple layers the layer properties box pops up. Having to very carefully and repeatedly select and highlight layers to move, or merge when using Move Tool. Win 8, Adobe 12, Intuos 4 w/ updated dr

This issue has been going on for several weeks.
The Move Tool is not functioning properly when selecting and TARGETING a layer or multiple layers, as the Layer Properties box pops up requiring me to close it and try again.
How to reset or is there an update and fix for this issue.
Using Win 8, Elements 12, and Intuos 4 Pen and Tablet.

To reset the tool I suggest click on it once and then look for something like this in the bottom half of your window:
In the above picture I have marked one section in red box. You need to click on it to get the option to either reset the only tool you have clicked or to reset all the tools in the editor window. Of course you have to be in Expert Mode to get this to work.
Good luck.

Spry Vertical Submenu - Expanding Box Problem, white background

Hello everyone. I've recently incorporated a Spry Vertical Menu on my site for the first time and I'm experiencing problems with the submenu in IE7. (Things look fine in FF, Safari, and Opera.) A white box appears behind the text area (the "bios" and "contact us" links). And....In IE6 the entire menu bar becomes a horizontal mess.
I've come to learn that this is called an Expanding Box Problem but I don't know how to fix it. Perhaps this is seperate issue from the white panel issue altogether. I dunno. Can anyone be of assistance? I've been trying to solve this problem for days.

DW CS4-where did the hyperlink option in the properties box go?

Long time DW user (many versions/most recently CS3) and just
recently installed DWCS4.
I'd like to know where the the little icon that one could
drag to create intra-site hyperlinks went? I no longer have it in
my properties box.
Dreamweaver "Help" goes to a blank page.

The Property inspector now has two buttons on the left: HTML
and CSS. To
create a link, you must have the HTML button selected.

Superscripts in Properties boxes

I'd like to use a superscript notation instead of m/s/s for the units of acceleration in a Properties box in order to provide a label with units alongside a numerical indicator. I've tried doing a cut and paste from a word processor but the paste is not available. Any ideas of how it might be done would be appreciated.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

You could use the ascii ALT codes to add the characters; ALT+0175 followed by ALT+0178 should produce ¯².
If you do this in word, then CTRL+C to copy, then CTRL+V to paste in LabVIEW it should look a bit neater ¯².
