Redesigning a website with bad code, wont render correctly.

Recently took control of the design of a website that was written by a designer who did not know what he was doing (using font tags and css in the same page?) the website will not render in the design view and I've gone through the code and tried to figure out what is wrong with the site but I cant figure it out. It renders somewhat succesfully online but I need to make it better. I will include a screen and will provide the full code if requested, I'm not expecting one of you all to do a full redo just some ideas to throw around, something I havent thought of yet. Im using Dreamweaver 3 by the way. Thanks for reading!

The current site was built with Dreamweaver's FluidGrid Layouts in HTML5. But unfortunately, whoever built this site didn't know what they were doing as evidenced by the rookie code errors:
http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.cflymarine.com%2F And, the site is only moderately responsive in Mobile & Tablet devices. Also, Windows Media was a bad choice since many web devices don't support it.
If after 2 days of working with Dreamweaver you think you can take this on, think again. Responsive Web Design is an advanced discipline that should be undertaken by someone with considerable experience in HTML5 and CSS Media Queries. In other words, you must learn to crawl before you can run .
As Murray said, this project needs an experienced web developer to sort out the mistakes and make the site work properly. If you want to hire me, you can reach me through my web site.

How can i turn a photoshop file into a website with knowing code? can i upload Muse or DreamWeaver?

How can i turn a photoshop file into a website with knowing code? can i upload Muse or DreamWeaver?
I created a few images (pages for a site) on photoshop and want to turn them into HTML code for a website- Can i Just upload the file into one of these programs and make a file with the correct code imediatly?
I was reading about using EDGE Reform but i did not understand if i can create the code with it, in the end it says it still needs to be sent to website developer after?

You need to look at Dreamweaver as a code editor. You need to learn to create good, clean HTML code with style sheets to make websites with Dreamweaver.
There are tutorials that will take you from a layered .PSD file to HTML. Here's a good one:
http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/site-builds/from-psd-to-html-building-a-set-of-website-d esigns-step-by-step/
Adobe's Muse is a semi-WYSIWYG website layout creator for small websites (1-5 pages). But there is no way you can go from a .PDS file to Muse, you have to start the site in Muse.
I have seen a few Muse sites and they're OK, but there is some code that Muse creates that is kind of odd. If you want a good, clean website that will work for you or your business, Dreamweaver is the best choice. Alternatively, you could hire a pro.

Best practice for redesigning a website with CSS

I have a site I created in early 2000's in Dreamweaver back in the Macromedia days www.kid-ebooks.com. It is basic HTML using a lot of tables, some flash, etc. I have since created many other sites using CSS and Dreamweaver (Currently on CS5.5) and I now want to do a complete redesign of Kid-ebooks, using CSS. I also however want to keep a lot of existing content, links, etc. I don't know what is the best approach, whether it be to try and apply a CSS to the site, design in parallel and then switch when ready, copy and paste content? What is be recommendation for starting over, but keeping some content?
Thanks,
Dave

I've used this formula with success. Make a back-up site beforehand.
Use Find & Replace > Source code > Tags > to strip out all of the <table> <td> <tr> <font> <background> <bold> and any other deprecated code from the site. Ultimately, you will be left with unstyled content, hyperlinks, & images. Validate code and fix any errors.

Content presenter with templates - images wont render

Hey
First, apologies for re-posting this. There seems to have been an issue with the forum, and I think my original post got caught up in that...
I have created a region definition in Site Studio that uses 2 elements - plain text and an image. In JDev, I have a page with Content Presenter, and am using a Content Template to format the content. I can create the Content Item ok, adding text and an Image (that was checked into the Content Server).
If my template displays only the text, it renders ok. However, when I include the image in the Content Template and run the application, I am getting a red X (broken link). At this stage I am an unauthenticated user. Here's a what I am using for the image in the template:
<af:outputText value="#{node.propertyMap['RD_RGLFORM:image'].value}" id="ot4" escape="false"/>
When I have a look at the source, I can see the <img tag with a src pointing to a file in the Content Server. If I try to use this URL, I am challenged for credentials. So obviously, the page cannot load the image because it doesn't have the credentials to the UCM.
So, is it possible to render images to unauthenticated users? Am I doing it wrong?
Any help is much appreciated!
Cheers,
Alec

I am emarrased t say that I have figured it out.
A colleague helped me realise that the security of the image was set to Secure - i.e. not Public. Hence, it was not available from the outside world without Authentication.
I changed t to Public and hey-presto.

Speed Up video wont render correctly

Im am using CS4 Premire Pro,
I am using uncompressed TGA frames at 23.98 FPS as the video,
i speed it up to 106.8% but when i render it for previewing, it dosent speed up and it goes out of scale.
when i export it, it is fine.
can anyone help?

when i did speed up the video instead of changing the framerate non-rendered (although at around 6 FPS) showed fine while previewing,
but when paused it shows it at normal framerate (hope that makes sense)
that made no sense to me...
boy, we're making no headway here...the sailing ship is " in irons "....

mabye it is the whole square pixels thing, the original AVI was compressed into Xvid from a NTSC DVD,
which i think is 4:3 not 1:1 (correct me if im wrong)
when you exported from VirtDub it does what it does to make the TGA...so thats what you need to match with your project settings...which I think you did...soooo it doesnt matter where the TGA came from really...unless there's some weird info in those files...you can open a single frame in notepad and scroll thru all the code and see if there's anything strange in there if you want...might be interesting to look at it anyway..
But really, I think what might be best is to convert the AVI ( with XVid ) to something else and then export your stills from that...
I just don't know what can convert the original AVI ....will google it some more...look for something...

Issue with label text wont change correctly.

Hi All,
I have an issue. I usually program with C#, PHP, html etc. trying to learn Adobe Flash now so i downloaded the trial version which has 30 days trial. tried to create and follow the tutor for click ball which all of the code is the same but it doesnt work.
I triple check the code and its all right but it still not working. so i commented out all of the code and has a simple code of changing the text of the label. i set the text to "abcdefg" and but it only show "cdef". i expanded the width of the label so width is not the issue. trying to search for the limitation of the trial but i dont see any. trying to test this before i buy it. Does anybody know why? again, coding is not an issue, it does change but not changing correctly. i try to set to another value it always show partially only. what is going on?
Thanks you for your help in advance.

Try embedding the font - might fix missing characters.
1) Select the TextField on the Stage
2) In Properties pane, next to font name selector, click Embed and play with the Dialog
3) Don't forget to select suitable character ranges

Studio 12: C compiler generates bad code with -m64 -KPIC -xO2

Hello,
after upgrading my Solaris 10/x64 machine from Studio 11 to Studio 12 some problems were fixed, but others came up; like this one:
I have a code snippet that obviously causes the C compiler to generate wrong code if compiled with options -m64 -KPIC -xO2. If any of these options are missing, it runs fine. Here's the example code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <strings.h>
static int do_something() { return 0; }
static int foo() {
    fprintf(stderr, "\n!! BUG: BAD CODE! unexpected function call foo()!\n\n");
    return 222;
static int bar() {
    fprintf(stdout, "\nOK: bar() called\n\n");
    return 0;
static const struct {
    const char* name;
    int (*func)();
    int flag;
} tab[] = {
    { "foo", &foo, 0 },
    { "bar", &bar, 0 },
    { 0, 0, 0 }
int main(int argc, const char** argv) {
    int i;
    for (i=0; tab.name; i++) {
if( strcmp(tab[i].name, "bar") == 0 ) {
if(tab[i].flag) {   /* not reached */
if(!do_something()) {
return 2;
return (*tab[i].func)();
return 1; /* not reached */
Many lines seem to be bogus, but they are actually needed to reproduce the problem.
This is what happens:# cc -m64 -KPIC -xO2 bug.c && ./a.out ; echo $?
!! BUG: BAD CODE! unexpected function call foo()!
222
If I compile with debugging information (-g), I get expected behavior, which is:# cc -m64 -KPIC -g bug.c && ./a.out ; echo $?
OK: bar() called
0
While creating the test case I've also seen SIGSEGV at runtime in the bug case - which is probably due to a wrong calculated function address for jmp (just guessing).
Does anyone know if this is a known bug?
Any help is appreciated.

Fonts in some websites wont render

I got the interface fonts to render, and they seem to work fine, but some (a lot) of websites text wont render at all. The problem seems to be in the way it handles CSS, that if a font listed in font-family is not installed on the system, it just wont render the text, instead of skipping ahead to the next font, or falling back on the default.
I found on my site if i set the font to something on the system, it will render.
Anyone else had any similar problems?

Sounds like the same problem I was having - a possible solution can be found in this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=993285&tstart=0

Bad service HP with license code windows 8

I have bought a all in one 23 F210ED in august last year.
I never changed anything in it.
Now i get when i install the recovery from HP, that i am not activated ?
I called HP for it, and everytime they will call me back, what they do not do.
So i to call HP myself several times it costs me 0,10 euro cent per minute the amounbt is now already over 30 euro !
And every time they have to ask another collague abou it, pleae wait etc.
And finally because HP was not calling back everytime what they promised , with a solution.
I called Microsoft myself and they said . HP is using a oem version of windows 8, they have to make it work.
But after pushing from my side, they did the activation by phone.
And i have now a contact person with MS that will do that for me when i call him.
But this is not the way normally he said.
HP has to get the solution to this problem.
Like a new key.
But you allready understand i do not get a new key from HP.
Because they blame it on MS.
So now my money is gone, and i still have to call MS to activate it.
Custumer service finally called me on the phone after a letter i wrote to HP Netherlands.
And pointed me out to the warranty rules.
Yeah right.
Bad bad service from HP.
For me never again HP.

I have received an email,
but i see nothing else then this ?

I need to host a website with a SQL database - Azure pricing details are too confusing

Hello,
I need to give a potential client a hosting price for a somewhat simple web application they want me to build. I told them it shouldn't be a problem. After gathering the requirements, I figured I would use the following technology to build and host
it:
ASP.NET 4.5
MVC 5
1 SQL Database ~ 25GB with options to expand and also with a backup
SSL certificate needed
Hosting would be on Azure because I have some experience using Visual Studio 2012 and integrating the Visual Studio Online (TFS) source code and scrum web applications. I've never actually spun up a website with a SQL database using Azure before, but I
imagined it wasn't too difficult to find a general hosting plan to support the above requirements.
The use of the website will be very simple and limited to the basic CRUD operations. Will support forms authentication using the Identity 2.0 framework. The web applications main purpose is to fill out a form for new accounts, have a search page for
those accounts, a page to view a created account and add notes to it. So performance wise, it isn't asking for much. I just want it to be fast and secure.
So I start looking on the Azure's pricing landing page which is here: (can't put links in here, but search Azure pricing on Bing) and I see this Pricing Calculator, so I click it
First thing I notice is the Websites tab doesn't mention SQL Database - in fact the Data Management is a separate tab from Websites. And if I made my selections on the Websites tab, the estimated monthly price doesn't stay the same when I go to the Data
Management tab - so I get the illusion I have to have two separate purchases.
I'm not exactly sure if the Pay as You Go billing feature would be okay because it's just a bit scary to leave every monthly payment up to chance; somewhat. Would love to know if there is other payment options that I could see for what I described above.
I want to use Azure to host my asp.net website - it makes sense and the integration with Visual Studio is amazing. I love the publish feature for both MVC 5 Projects and SQL Database Projects.
Thanks in advance for the help!

Hello jdevanderson,
I suggest that you start by looking at the pricing TIERS for the Azure website. This link will give you clarity on different Service TIERS that are availaible:
http://azure.microsoft.com/en-in/pricing/details/websites/
You can guage your requirement and choose the Service TIER accordingly.
And regarding the database, you are right about it. You will be charged seperately for the database. You can refer to this link that will give you clarity on SQL database pricing:
http://azure.microsoft.com/en-in/pricing/details/sql-database/
Refer to this link for more information on 'How pricing works':
http://azure.microsoft.com/en-in/pricing/
Use the full calculator to add your website and the database to get an estimated cost:
http://azure.microsoft.com/en-in/pricing/calculator/?scenario=full

How to build a website with working pulldown menus on iPad and iPhone?

Hi everyone!
I have designed a website, http://fccr.ucsd.edu/ , base on "Template #1" by Chris Converse, available at http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/dreamweaver_custom_templates.html
The pull-down menus have a curious glitch on the iPad/iPhone which I wanted to ask for help on from anyone who might be knowledgeable on this issue (I have also posted this question on the apple pages, but so far without much constructive help...)
Template #1 has various href="#" tags that presumably the user is to fill in. This works fine on all desktop browsers I checked (IE/Firefox/Opera/Chrome/Safari), but if the tag corresponds to a menu that has to pull down, then by replacing this default tag with a URL, an iPhone/iPad will insist on following the link rather than allowing the menu to pull down. This is a reasonable consequence of using a finger rather than a mouse (which can both hover and click) to operate the menu. Fair enough, it is straightforward to design the dropdown menu layout so that its entries are either links OR designed to open up a new pull-down menu. (future users of these templates should probably be warned about this...)
There is a little glitch, though. If you are exploring Template #1 (or my website) with an iPhone or an iPad, the first pull-down menu which you attempt to pull down after you load a new page will initially not function. However, all of the other pull-down menus will function after that, and after you pull down a different menu, the original pull-down menu that you originally attempted to pull down will also work.
This appears to be a curious feature (bug?) in the implementation of the <UL>, <LI>, and/or <A> tags in the iPhone and iPad browsers. The site http://www.bestbuy.com/ uses the same three tags with some slightly different code behind it, and it somehow avoids this issue (that is, it works correctly on both all five major Desktop browsers and the iPhone/iPad).
Thus, I would very much like Adobe's help to figure out what bestbuy is doing with their use of the <UL>, <LI>, and/or <A> tags in their pull down menus, so that these menus work without this little glitch on the iPhone/iPad, and then to see if we can modify Chris Converse's Template #1 (and my web page) to do the same...
Thanks in advance for your help!
Best regards,
- Tom

Hi Tom,
You might want to read this article:
http://www.projectseven.com/products/menusystems/pmm2/ug-examples/accessible/index.htm
I don't know of any other menu tool that offers this type of solution - but I thought I'd chime in because the other answers seemd (through no one's fault) that this could not be done ;-)
