Saving CSS file in DW5 problem

When in design view on an html page, when I make a change to the CSS using the Css Styles panel, the style sheet shows as unsaved (has a * next to it). When I do a Save of the html file, the css file does not save, so in order to get an accurate preview in the browser, I have to go in and save the css file separately. This is a pain. How can I make the css file save when I save the html file?
Thank you.

There's also a File > Save All Related Files. This will save all the files you see for that document, if you don't want to save every open file. On windows you can go Edit > Keyboard Shortcuts to change the key binding if you like.
FWIW, if you use LiveView for your preview it will load the unsaved style sheet so you can see the previews as you work. If you use "Preview in Browser" it should prompt you to either save your CSS file or will save a temp version of it depending on your user settings. Maybe these could help instead of doing save and refresh in the browser.

Dreamweaver CS4 CSS file links updating problem

Hi apologies if this question has already been asked, the
search tool does not seem to be working.
I have recently installed DW CS4. When you open a page all
the related files open too so the CSS linked file also opens
however, if i try to update the CSS file from here when i come to
save, i get a message box asking if i want to 'update links'? If i
say yes it updates all the links in my CSS file from ../images to
the full path of the images and this then creates problems with the
site. If i say no, it then tells me that my CSS file contains an
invalid path and then prompts me to 'update links?' again.
If i open the CSS file separately in DW i dont have any
problems.
This is really annoying me, if anyone can help i would be
grateful!

Thanks for your replies. I updated my Nvidia video card driver and I deleted the Cache file per the instructions in the link above. Unfortunately I'm still getting the Lockup.
It locks when I use the CSS panel for a period of time. What's odd is that the CSS panel remains active and I can edit and make changes to the CSS rules. The rest of the interface locks up. The code/design window the menu bar etc. I have to close down DW with the task manger. when I do that I get asked if I want to save the changes to the open files and the changes get saved. But the entire user interface except for the css panel is frozen. Weird.
The link above suggest deleting the entire personal configuration folder and the extension manager folder. this seems pretty sever and then it seems I would have to re-install the extensions that I have and etc. Perhaps that's what I have to do? This regular lockup is a pain. Like I said the rest of my system and other apps (fireworks, Photoshop, etc) are all rock solid. The problem is strictly with DW.
Thanks again for your suggestions.

DW 8.0.2 + CF8 + Saving CSS file = Error

I have recently installed CF8 and it's running alongside of
CF7. Running Dreamweaver 8.0.2 which I believe is the latest patch.
This scenario has happened several times today...
I have a CSS file open along with a couple other files. The
CSS file is stored in
c:\coldfusion8\wwwroot\siteFolder\cssFolder\file.css. I am running
CF8 locally in Developer mode. I have my web root shared so that a
backup server can access the files each evening, however, I deleted
that share when troubleshooting this problem and it didn't help.
Ok... with the CSS file open I hit CTRL + S. An error
appeared from Dreamweaver saying approximately...
"A sharing violation has occurred with
c:\coldfusion8\wwwroot\siteFolder\cssFolder\file.css"
At that point, I can save the file under a new name. After
doing so, I can not delete the 'old' filename because I get a
similar/same sharing violation error.
Here are the things I tried....
Closing all browsers (primarily using FF2.0.6)
Closing/restarting Dreamweaver
Reboot
The only thing that helped was a reboot. After the reboot, I
was able to edit/test my CSS file for awhile but the error
eventually came back. So... I decided to try restarting the CF8
Application Server service from my MMC. Restarting the service
temporarily fixes the problem. I'm able to save my CSS again.
Unfortunately, the error keeps coming back and I have to restart
CF8 periodically.
Anybody got any advice?

I have been experiencing this problem too with ColdFusion 8
and Dreamweaver 8. Following the suggestion below and also clicking
on the 'Clear Template Cache Now' button, every time I see the
sharing violation error, it allows me to save the file again.
I am sharing this with you guys, since it has been really
frustrating for me having to restart ColdFusion every time this
problem occurred. At least by checking off the 'Save class files'
option and clicking on the 'Clear Template Cache Now' button, every
time I need it, I can avoid having to restart the service.
I hope Adobe can fix this problem, because I love ColdFusion
8, but this problem is really annoying and unproductive.
Good Luck,
Nelson

Within CF Admin... SERVER SETTINGS>CACHING there is a

"Save class files:
When you select this option, the class files generated by
ColdFusion are saved to disk for reuse after the server restarts.
Adobe recommends this for production systems. During development,

I disabled it and tested in DW. No error yet!!

Saving css file while saving a web page

Hello,
when i save a web page using SAFARI, I cannot save all the content. I just got the HTML. Which is fine but... what if i want to save also other content, exspecially CSS. In IE you easily can. Why not in SAFARi?
Or maybe it could be done and I simply don't know...
thnaks,
Rocco

Safari 2.0.x for OS X 10.4 will allow you to save the whole contents of a page in a format that isn't too easy to extract items from.
Give either Camino or Firefox a try, both of which will let you save a full static version of the website for off-line viewing.

[Web] Is there a way to generate more than 1 CSS file?

Obviously using model.appearance. with AddCustomCSS lets us generate a CSS file.
I could create an AddPage file that uses maps nonCSS values into a pregenerated CSS file. The problem is that live_update doesn't handle these well.
(if someone wants to write a more indepth look at doing stuff in Live Update, that would be fine with me, not to mention Matthew Campagna and John Beardsworth)
Is there an alternative way, or are we restricted to one CSS file per model section? why do I need more than 1? iFrames. I don't want the same body values etc inside the iFrame HTML.

Let me put it another way:
What would I need to add to live_update.js to have nonCSS values force a refresh?

Problem with CSS files when placed in multiple locations.

Hi,
In our application we have a folder structure for the code files. Folder structure looks something like the one shown below:
ABC
---Scripts
---Stylesheets
DEF
Scripts
Stylesheets
Common
---Scripts
---Stylesheets
The problem is, if we create a CSS file and place it in its module specific folder (Eg: ABC) to which it belongs to and call the CSS on a page, then the styles are not getting applied to the page. But if we move the stylesheet to the Common folder, then page renders properly. In common folder, we already have a common CSS which is used across the project.
Facing similar problem with module specific and common js files.
We have to move all the module specific files to the module folders and all the common files to be placed in the Common folder.
MII Version: 11.5
Please help!
Regards,
Rajesh.

Rajesh,
Also note that, If your html is referencing to multiple css files then the last referenced CSS file style classes will override all the style class having same names in the previous css files.
for example,
say CSS1 has
.bodycolor
background-color:yellow;
.button
color:red;
h1
font-size:50pt;
and CSS2 has
.bodycolor
background-color:red;
.button
color:yellow;
And your HTML is,
<html>
<head>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css1.css"/>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css2.css"/>
<title>CSS Test</title>
</head>
<body class="bodycolor">
<h1>Hello World</h1>
<input type="button" class="button" name="B1" id="B1" value=" Click " size="50">
</body>
</html>
In this case the classes "bodycolor" and "button" will be overridden by css2 file but h1 will be taken from css1
Hope this helps!!

Adarsh

Problem saving gif file over the net

I am using a simple loop to save files using a URL Connection. It grabs html files fine and they look right but when I used to to download an animated gif it had an error. It saved the file but when I tried to open the image I got a "drawing failed" message.
I compared it to the working image and the sizes were identical. I also compared the characters in notepad and the beginning and end characters were identical. I looked at the preview in "My Computer" when you select it and it drew only the first line or so. This makes me believe it is a problem with how it switches lines when saving. I checked the ends of the lines though and they also seem identicall. Any ideas? Here is the code. Thankyou.
FileWriter fileName = new FileWriter(saveFileName);
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(
new InputStreamReader(
newConnection.getInputStream()
BufferedWriter out = new BufferedWriter(fileName);
for (;;) {
int data = in.read();
// Check for EOF
if (data == -1) break;
else {
System.out.print ( (char) data);
out.write(data);
}

GIF files are binary files and can be corrupted if you use the Reader and Writer classes. Use the *Stream classes, like FileInputStream and FileOutputStream.

A "quick" fix that worked for me was to uninstall Adobe... then download the base install for Adobe Reader 11.0.
Then download each of the individual updates and run them sequentially.
I've installed back up to the last security update which is version 08 and have been able to do normal Save As operations.
You will have to disable automatic updates in order to stay at version 08 until Adobe resolves this issue in a later release.

Problems saving a file in Adobe Reader 11 after highlighting

Hi,
Has anyone come across a problem where Adobe Reader 11 seems to have problems in saving certain files after highlighting some text?
One of our processes involves checking information and to do this we open up a saved PDF file in Adobe Reader 11 and highlight the relevant text to confirm the amounts have been checked, and then save the file.
This is all done in Adobe Reader - not the full version and not using any external helpers etc, and running under Windows 8 64 bit.
However one of our users is having problems with certain PDF files where, when she goes to save the file after highlighting, it comes up with an error saying that it can't save to this filename and requests that a new filename is entered. If we then save to a new file, and then save as to the original file it works.
So basically this user is having to save the PDF file twice after highlighting - which is annoying.
The strange thing is it appears to only be happening with PDFs created from certain applications on our system (payroll software and BACS processing software) whilst other PDFs work fine. Another user, also using Adobe Reader 11 and also using Windows 8 64 Bit, can open up the problem files, highlight text and save the changes without any problem at all, so it doesn't appear to be the files themselves.
I've tried uninstalling and re-installing Adobe Reader without any success.
Can anyone suggest anything?
Thanks

I'm getting something similar, but the message I get is "...pdf already exists. Do you want to replace it?" I click 'Yes' and the document is replaced under its original file name. This is using Reader 11.0.10.
Sorry - I should have been clearer.
She gets exactly that question, but when she clicks yes, then she gets 'The document could not be saved. Cannot save to this filename. Please save the document with a different name or in a different folder.' At this point the name of the document as shown at the top of the screen has changed to a ???????.tmp filename.
Trying to save this document over the top of the original now works.
It looks like something is locking the original file and only releasing it after the attempted save, which then allows the original to be saved over.
Also using 11.0.10

Problem saving PSD file in Illustrator

I have several files that I created in PSCS3. They are all simple, with two or three flat colors, one color per layer, no effects, shadows, etc. My client is having these printed in China using a type of silk screening process on mug-like items. The printer in China has asked me to resend the files in Illustrator. I am not familiar with Illustrator, but do own a copy of CS3, so I opened my PS file, dragged it to the AI icon and saved it as a layered AI file. The problem is that when I print it out on my Epson printer the AI file looks a little more fuzzy around the edges than the PS file. I checked Document Raster Effects setting in AI (a warning said it was at 72 dpi) and changed it to 300 dpi. That helped a little. But, there still is a small difference so I am wondering if there is anything else I can do to make the objects appear as smooth in AI as they are in PS. I am a little out of my depth here so I hope someone can help. Thanks so much!

I received this response from the Illustrator forum:
"Unless you properly vectorize everything, there is no point in just embedding the PSDs in AI. Since you speak of "simple, with two or three flat colors", I'm afraid you started off on the completely wrong foot by doing it in PS in the first place. This screams "it needs to be vector" all over the place, the reason being that for silk screen you create a sieve mask for each color and for maximum sharpness of these masks, vectors work better. It's not an ultimate requirement, though, but based on that info, as a minor you must familiarize yourself with how to create spot color separations using multichannel/duoton/tritone documents in Photoshop. It may still cause fuzzy edges, but at least you should get clean colors. Otherwise you need to learn AI and re-draw all elements there, assigning proper color swatches which then could be used to create proper separations..."
I would appreciate being directed to a good tutorial on how to create the spot color separations in Photoshop spoken of here-is there one anyone recommends? Thanks!

BIG PROBLEM: CSS files not loading because of international characters in file name

I have Muse Beta 7 in Spanish.
The program creates a css file called master_a-página-maestra.css in css folder. It is referenced in the resulting HTML code here:

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/site_global.css?3951792836"/>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/master_a-p%c3%a1gina-maestra.css?fileVersionPlaceholder"/>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/index.css?3948175564"/>
When you work locally in your Windows formatted har drive, everything looks fine, but when you upload your files to a server, everything is screwed up. The server doesn't recognizes the URL and returns an error page, resulting in style errors in the entire site.
This can also happens with html files if the title of the page contains international characters or with images if the image file name in your Hard Drive contains international characters.
I already pointed out long time ago Muse was generating file names with international characters like á, ñ, etc but nobody cared about it. Too bad. I had to activate file name customization but I think that Muse should replace automatically this characters in the same way that it replaces other conflictive characters like commas or ampersands.
This is not a fault of the FTP client. Accented characters are not web safe regardless of the FTP client you are using. It is a server side issue. Some servers support it some others don't. I don't mind if it works in Adobe Catalyst server because the final website is going to be in another server and maybe next year when paid hosting is ended the client may move it to another server.
It makes more sense to replace accented characters in file names by their not accented equivalents ('a' instead of 'á', 'N' instead of 'Ñ', etc) and avoid all this problem.

Zak, It is funny you mention it, because the site I am talking about is hosted in 1and1. try this: http://www.artofwalls.com/rosannawalls/biografía.html
As you can see, the offending "í" in the file name causes 1and1 server to throw a "page not found" error. And this has happened with many other servers I have tried since.
Muse boast of generating code fully compatible with all major web browsers but by using international characters in file names it ggenerates code suitable only for very few web servers. International characters have been always a no-no for internet URLs. Internet was designed by people who didn't care about ascii codes beyond 127 so using international characters in html file names is just call for problems.
"to work with your hosting provider to determine how to enable Unicode encoded (UTF-8) file names and HTML files on their servers" is not a viable solution most of the time unless you are a Very Important Client of your host provider. If not, making changes means money for them and if you are the only one who complains, they are going to just tell you to not use international characters in your names.

HT5678 I have problems saving pdf files in the web when I use Safari. I don't have this problem with firefox

I have problems saving pdf files in the web when I use Safari. I don't have this problem with firefox.

do they save ok if Safari - Preferences - Security - Allow all other plug-ins is unchecked ?
If so, likely an adobe or other pdf plugin
Re-check the setting above & quit any browsers,
Look in this folder by triple-clicking the line below, then ctrl-clicking it & choosing Services - Open
/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/
remove anything with pdf in the filename & test again
Sometimes, plug-ins can be in the User Library folder :
~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins/

Default css file problems

I'm trying to use a default css file in a library project... I'm using this in my library's compile arguments:
"-include-stylesheet defaults.css /assets/styles/defaults.css"
In defaults.css, I'm trying to assign a defautl skin like this:
comp|Badge {
    skin-class: ClassReference('com.woo.skins.BadgeSkin');
The problem is when the component is being newed:
Main Thread (Suspended: TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.)
    mx.core::UIComponent/getStyle
    spark.components.supportClasses::SkinnableComponent/attachSkin
    spark.components.supportClasses::SkinnableComponent/validateSkinChange
    spark.components.supportClasses::SkinnableComponent/createChildren
What part am I doing wrong? I'm hoping it's the -include-stylesheet part, I couldn't find a single example for using that.

I assume you are using FlexBuilder to build and compile and not ant or the comand line correct? If so there are two things you need to check.
1) Where is your defaults.css located? As long as it is in the root of your library's src directory (ie. src/defaults.css) you shouldn't even need to add that compiler option. When it builds a project, FlexBuilder looks for a file named defaults.css in this location and will use it to override the framework version.
2) Go into your project properties -> build path -> assets tab. Make sure your defaults.css file is selected for inclusion.
