Right panel in Dreamweaver CS3 is empty!

Can someone please help me? I used to have a list of files in the right hand panel but now the panel is empty and looks like the following picture. What can I do to get it working again? I need to update my website.
Many thanks,
Caryl

Hi again John,
You can see from this picture that the right hand panel only has "Tag Inspector" listed. I don't know where all the other items have gone! I hope you can help.

Missing Form values in Bindings Panel in Dreamweaver CS3

I've recently upgraded to Dreamweaver CS3 and have noticed
that the form values for forms on the current page are not showing
up in the bindings panel. I believe this was a feature added in
8.0.2 -- it was great for binding a from value to itself on
reloading (in the case the page submitted form failed server side
validation) or for inserting form values into code.
Does anyone know if this feature is still supported in the
new version and how to turn it on -- there's no sign of it in my
review of the online help.
I'm working in ASP VBScript, and the bindings panel seems to
be displaying the database recordsets on a page just fine.
Thanks.

Form elements don't automatically display in the Bindings panel. However, you can create form elements in the panel by clicking the plus button and selecting Form Variable from the menu. In a PHP site, this creates a $_POST variable with whatever name you assign to it.

Error with Application panel in Dreamweaver CS3

Hello guys , i'm glad to join to the forum...
I've a problem:when i access to Application panel-Server
Behavours my Dreamweaver crashes.
I use Windows Vista Home Premium and i'm working with Apache,
MySQL and PHP (the last versions).
Please try to give me some advice

Thanks for the replies!
Although I still haven't found the real problem for it, the preview panel keeps on freezing, I do have a wokaround found for it.
Because I have a docking station for my laptop, with some free slots in it, I bought a second hand Video Card with 512MB and better performance than the on-board card in the laptop.
I hooked up a external LCD monitor to it and now it works just fine, with no additional modifications in Bridge.
So, although the Bridge / video card still occurs on the laptop, I don't mind working this way.
Maybe a newer driver in the future will solve this problem.
Kind regards,
Stefan

Lines around type and other type/text problems in Dreamweaver CS3

Dear Dreamweaver forum:
Good news/bad news,
First the good news…
My thanks to a forum member by the name of Mylenium. With Mylenium's advice I have improved my halo problem by including a black background when I save type in Illustrator CS3 as part of importing it into Dreamweaver CS3.
However, the bad news, is that I’m still having type and text problems.
Problem area 1
Now, in Dreamweaver, I’m getting lines appearing around the type.
I am dragging and dropping the .gif type file into a Dreamweaver Div Tag.
How do I get rid of the lines around the type so that they do not show up in the Safari browser?
(Please see below)
Problem area 2
I cannot drag and drop text from a Word .doc file into a Dreamweaver div tag.
I also cannot copy and paste Word .doc text into a div tag.
How do I include text on my webpage without having to manually type it in?
(Please see below)
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
From within Dreamweaver CS3, how do I place text? Dragging and droppign the file does not work.
This is screenshot of what I see so far when I use Safari to test what I have made so far in Dreamweaver CS3.
I get lines around type.........not usually a good thing.........How do I fix it?
The way I created the portfolio type in IllustratorCS3 using the File > Save for Web and Devices. I then imported the resulting .gif file so that it was within my root folder within the Files panel within Dreamweaver CS3.
Am I doing this right?

Hi
The problems you are experiencing with the image text, (why are you using image text, these days?) is probably cause by the image having a border when created in illustrator, or the image size being set incorrectly.
As for the word text if you are using windows, see http://livedocs.adobe.com/en_US/Dreamweaver/9.0/help.html?content=WSc78c5058ca073340dcda91 10b1f693f21-7ce6.html.
On the mac it is a little more complex, save your word doc as html, then apply the 'clean up word html files', (see - http://livedocs.adobe.com/en_US/Dreamweaver/9.0/help.html?content=WSc78c5058ca073340dcda91 10b1f693f21-7ef5.html) copy the relevant text and mark-up from the word html file, and paste into your html document in the required position.

Trouble with Dreamweaver CS3 Install

Greetings all. I installed Dreamweaver CS3. After this, I had
a system problem (unrelated) to which I had to do a system restore
which went back to before Dreamweaver CS3 was installed.
I now want to install The Web Premium CS3, but the install
says I can't install Dreamweaver because of a conflict. There is no
uninstall (in control panel) for Dreamweaver CS3 and there are not
even any EXE files in it's folders (product of System Restore I am
guessing?)
How can I get this uninstalled so I can install the entire
package?
Thanks for the help!!

What's the exact error message you're seeing? See if these

Dreamweaver cs3 - files panel

dreamweaver cs3 files panel I can only see manage sites
How do I go back to the defaut view

What you see IS the default view. The "manage sites" link opens the site manager, as does Sites>Manage Sites from the menu bar.
You can always go to Window>Workspace Layout>Resetxxx and reset your workspace. But the Files panel will be the same because it is set to the default ciew.

Dreamweaver CS3 - Database Panel Problem

I set up a site in Dreamweaver CS3 trial - my ColdFusion data
driven pages display OK in browser preview but I when I try to
display my datasources in the Database panel I get error "server
name or address cannot be resolved" even though the server name is
correct and working. The site's testing server is set up properly
(they run in the browser) and coldfusion is running properly.
I removed the connection scripts but that was no help. I'm
using the miserable SQLServer 2005Express (I tried checking
security permissions in WinXP - my file system is NTFS so there
*should* be a "Security" tab present in properties for me the
change permissions but it's not there...
i've run out of ideas - does anyone have any suggestions that
I can try?
thanks!

I can't help you with the central issue, but permissions in
XP are
controlled by a setting in folder options.
start, control panel, folder options, view. Near the bottom
of the list
is an option that by default is checked - "Use simple file
checking".
Try unchecking it, and you should be able to access the full
security
tab for files.

Spry Accordian in Dreamweaver CS3

I am using Spry Widgets in Dreamweaver CS3. However,
everytime I insert the spry accordion - it doesn't work right if
too much text is in one of the tabs. For Example: I have 3 tabs in
the Accordion. Everything works well as it should if there is just
a little text without a scroll bar. However, when there is a scroll
bar in the Accordion - it doesn't work right. The panels do not
minimize, all the panels are open. When I click on one panel, it
doesn't do what is is suppose to.
Did I do something wrong here? I don't think I did.

Without seeing your page (code) I am guesing what your
peoblem is, but try this.
Check you have the SpryAssets folder and js content correctly
referenced between page and external folder. Check that your js
script, which should be the last script tag set before the closing
body tag is in place on the page containing the accordion.
Also, you can change the accordion panel behavior to a
flexible height, which contains all content, and removes the
vertical scroll bar. You need to edit the CSS and add a new
property to the accordion object when it is initialized. Find the
.AccordionPanelContent CSS class and delete the height property;
change the overflow property to hidden.
Next tell the Accordion object to use flexible height by
going to the bottom of the page and finding the code that has
(something like: var Accordion1 =
Spry.Widget.Accordion("Accordion1"); in the code. Add
useFixedPanelHeights:False to the constructor function so it looks
like this:
var Accordion1 = Spry.Widget.Accordion("Accordion1",
{useFixedPanelHeights:False} );
That should remove the scroll bars.

Uploading in Dreamweaver CS3

Hi. When I used Dreamweaver 2004 MX, it was great because I
would upload a file and Dreamweaver be smart and only UPLOAD the
local files that had been CHANGED.
However, now that I have Dreamweaver CS3, it insists on
uploading EVERYTHING in the folder, whether it has changed or not.
Can anyone help? This is very, very frustrating!

> But the new Dreamweaver doesn't do this. If I say to
upload the whole folder,
> it uploads ALL 233 files EVERY SINGLE TIME.
on a guess- look in this site definition.
Some where it has a choice for maintaining sync information.
enable that.
to sync, right-click on the folder you want to upload in the
files panel.
Pick sync. Dw will scan the folder, show a list of newer
files and prompt
you to continue

Dreamweaver CS3 Remote View file display

Specs:
Dreamweaver CS3 on Windows XP Pro SP2.
Upgraded from DreamWeaver MX
1680 x 1050 60Hz resolution on vertical display LCD panel
with the monitor turned/displayed verticle so I can view more of
our site tree.
Problem:
When viewing files in split panel display (Remote Site on the
left, Local Files on the right) my Remote Site display will
collapse upward...hiding files from view, but they are actually
still there: I can click Refresh and the tree expands again: After
several seconds or sometimes immediately portions of the
folders/files will collapse/hide again.
It will do this to files I have selected. It will hide files
I have checked out. The worst of it is that sometimes files will
hide or collapse within sub-folders..giving the appearance that
files are stored in incorrect folders.
Thank you for your time

Can you explain the symptoms in more detail? Mixing the use
of DW8 with
DWCS3 would not make remote files appear and disappear.

Missing CSS and other layouts in Dreamweaver CS3

I just recently upgraded to CS3 Mac -- I know, a little late
-- and when I hit New > New Document window pops up with the
type of new document selectable on the left and an empty field on
the right when certain options on the left are selected, such as
CSS. No options appear, like they do for HTML. I bought the
download products (CS3 Design Premium ) and even reinstalled
Dreamweaver. Still no bonus layouts. Suggestions?? I do not have
the disc with this download product. It is genuine Adobe. I
upgraded from Dw 8, but I have deleted 8.
Thanks.

This is as designed. When you select CSS as the document
type, you will get
a blank CSS declaration and you can type CSS rules to make a
CSS page. That
is what it is supposed to do. If you want the CSS layouts
that come with
the product, then select HTML (or ASP, PHP, etc) and the CSS
layouts are in
the second pane over. Select the document type like HTML and
then select
the layout you want to use in the second column and then
click the Create
button.

Read and Write Permissions in Dreamweaver CS3

I have searhed the web endlessly for what seems like a simple question? How do you set read and write permissions for an upload folder in dreamweaver cs3?
I finally came accross one forum which described.
You go to the files panel and change the drop down menu from "Local View" to "Remote View".
Then you select the upload folder you created and right click on it.
A pop up menu appears and you select "set permissions"
This is where I am ok to. My defualt permissions are set to 666. Does anyone know the number to set it to if i would like visitors to my site to be able tp upload files?
ps I am using windows vista and dreamweaver cs3.

My defualt permissions are set to 666. Does anyone know the number to set it to if i would like visitors to my site to be able tp upload files?
Try 775 first, but you will probably need to use 777, which is the least secure set of permissions. Normally, if you want to allow people to upload to your website, you should create a login system and allow only registered users to upload to a folder that has permissions set to such a weak level. Otherwise, you could lay yourself open to all sorts of abuse.

Contribute CS3 & Dreamweaver CS3

I do volunteer work for a pet rescue website. I started out
editing their pages with Dreamweaver CS3. When the work load got
out of control, one of the rescue members decided to help out by
using Contribute CS3. After a few months, I noticed there was a lot
of lag loading this one page we were both updating on a daily
basis.
In Dreamweaver, in design mode, the page appeared to be fine
but when looking at the source code, there were thousands of empty
lines that had been generating for who knows what reason. The
amount of lines was over 50K. I manually went in there and deleted
all the empty lines and ended up with about 600 lines total of
code. Everything was back to normal and my helper continued using
Contribute CS3 and I used DW, until a few days later when I noticed
the blank lines were back. Not as many as there were before but
they were certainly adding up and were definitely adding to the
loading time.
I did what I could to clean up the code and although there
are some empty lines left at the top of the file, the rest of the
file is ok now. I asked the Contribute helper to not make anymore
updates for the time being. I haven't seen any more blank lines
added since she stopped. So my best guess is that Contribute CS3 is
causing all the problems.
Is there something in Contribute CS3 publishing preferences
that may be causing this problem? I couldn't find anything in the
manuals except something about Line Breaks but that didn't have
anything to do with the code. Could it also be a server problem?
Not sure where I would begin looking. Any help would be
appreciated.
Here is a link to the file I am referring to:
http://www.norcalgsprescue.com/adopt.shtml
Thanks!

I've had similar issues, but not to the extent you seem to be
getting it. I know if you are using templates or server-side code,
the lines that do not propagage to your web client are removed, but
the source code lines are not collapsed...
Anyway, when I had a similar problem, it would putting an
extra line for each line in the html code... If you are on a
Linux/Unix Web server... go to Administer Website...Edit Role
Settings...Select the 'Editing' option on the left side of the
panel... at the very bottom, make sure 'Line Break Type' is set to
'Unix (LF)'
Hope that helps

The Essential Guide to Dreamweaver CS3 with CSS, Ajax, and PHP by David Powers

The Essential Guide to Dreamweaver CS3 with CSS, Ajax, and
PHP by David Powers:
Would this book help me learn about Spry and Ajax and how
applications can be made with them, if I my e-commerce site runs on
a compiled C code shopping cart (ShopSite) but supports PHP
server-side scripts or is it only for shopping carts based on PHP
itself (like X-Cart)?
I am not sure. Someone please let me know so I can purchase
this book. Thanks.

You don't need any prior knowledge of Ajax or PHP, but you do
need to
know the basics of HTML and CSS. As I say in the
introduction, "You
don't need to be an expert, but you do need to have an
inquiring mind.
It doesn't teach the basics of web design, nor does it
attempt to list
every single feature in Dreamweaver CS3. There are plenty of
other books
to fill that gap. However, by working through this book,
you'll gain an
in-depth knowledge of the most important features of
Dreamweaver."

The book provides detailed coverage of the Spry 1.4 features
in
Dreamweaver CS3, which can be applied to any site. With minor
adaptation, you can also use Spry 1.6. It's important to
realize,
though, that the Spry/Ajax features in Dreamweaver CS3 do
*not* cover
asynchronous requests to the server. The ability to
communicate
asynchronously with the server was added in Spry 1.6. If it's
asynchronous server calls and responses that you're after,
your
programmer will need to dig around in the Spry 1.6
documentation on the
Adobe Labs site, and hand-code it.
The Spry features covered in the book are Spry Effects, Spry
UI widgets
(menu, accordion, tabbed panels, and collapsible panels),
Spry
Validation Widgets, and Spry XML Data Sets.

Yes. All the Spry techniques can be used on any web page. It
doesn't
need to be a PHP one.

Dreamweaver CS3 for MacOSX

I am trying to get Datasources to show up in Dreamweaver CS3
on a MacOSX running Apache/MySQL/Coldfusion 8. The datasources are
setup in Coldfusion 8 and show up in the ODBC control panel in
MacOSX, but Dreaweaver does not see them and does not allow
application development. I have done this a million time in a
Windows environment and with many other versions or Dreamweaver and
Coldfusion with out issue.
Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance.

I've been a Mac convert for about 2 years now. Right now, I'm
running DW CS3 on an Intel iMac and it runs beautifully. On my
Powerbook G4 (1.33 GHz PPC G4 and 2 GB of ram) the performance is
slightly lacking. One thing to be wary of with adobe products -
they can be memory hogs. Photoshop is especially notorious for
this.
Also, the more you have installed on a Mac laptop, the slower
it will run. Mine used to take a few minutes to boot because of all
the programs I had installed, and nothing was starting up with the
machine. After a format and clean install it runs like new.
That is something for you to consider, if you have all the
necessary software to reinstall everything you want. I never turn
off any features in DW and I have only had a few buggy problems.
Nothing major though.

Right panel in Dreamweaver CS3 is empty!
