Scrolling text in Dreamweaver CS4

I need to be able to scroll through text without scrolling down the page. In other words, I have a need for a page to maintain a fixed height, regardless of how much text might be needed. Therefore, I need a scroll bar assigned to text in a table cell.
Is this a function of Dreamweaver CS4? How is this effect achieved?
Thanks!

Try inserting a div (with id="horiztxt") into your cell. Move the cell's text into the div. And then style that div with css:
div#horizhtxt {
overflow-x:scroll;
Does that work for you?

Editing text in Dreamweaver CS4 on Mac 10.6.2 causes paragraph ends to disapear

Editing text in Dreamweaver CS4 on Mac 10.6.2 causes paragraph ends to disappear.
When adding bold in design view (strong) to two words at the start of my paragraph the last line of the paragraph disappears. This is somewhat worrying as it means any editing I do in dreamweaver could do massive amounts of damage to the content.
We are pasting the original content into the code view so as to strip the formating Dreamweaver then decides to take the last line break in the source code paragraph and then delete it see example below:
<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Aenean dignissim nisi id risus varius ut scelerisque massa consectetur. Vestibulum non tortor augue, sit amet dictum lacus. Cum sociis natoque penatibus et magnis dis parturient montes, nascetur ridiculus mus. Curabitur ultrices felis et dui tincidunt sit amet tristique est pulvinar. Nulla a lectus quis erat ornare ultricies. Sed ac elementum magna. Nulla aliquet accumsan nulla. In dictum accumsan tortor eget consequat. Suspendisse potenti. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Nunc et orci eu augue condimentum sodales quis id mauris. Nam enim nisi, convallis eu volutpat non, malesuada quis nulla. Sed auctor nulla et tellus vehicula lacinia interdum odio lobortis vehicula lacinia interdum odio.</p>
So when applying Strong with the Bold button in the design view to the first words 'Lorem ipsum' the last part of the paragraph 'lobortis vehicula lacinia interdum odio' will be deleted. Bizare and very dangerous especially for Annual Report content.
Any experience of similar or solutions would be greatly received.
PS. I have restarted, repaired permissions, checked dreamweaver is up to date trashed plist's and removed duplicate fonts.

It could be a problem in the templates.
In all honesty, I just tried pasting text into the Design section of a page.
It doesn't even work on my Mac, and it took three tries to get it to actually paste in VIsta.
I had to go to the code and reformat it after it did paste, but it eventually went.
I don't work with templates much.
Well, that actually makes me feel a little better, if it makes sense to feel better to learn that it could be the expensive software and not just us. I guess I will view this as an opportunity to improve me coding speed :-) Thanks for the feedback.

Can I use Japanese text in Dreamweaver CS4?

Hi, I would like to make a web site with Japanese text using Dreamweaver CS4. Can someone tell me if this is easy to do, or not possible? Thank you. _Jayarny

The head section of the page, set the characterset to UTF*, like this:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
Then type in or paste in the Japanese text.

How do you create a scrolling banner in Dreamweaver CS4?

How do you create a scrolling banner/marquee in DreamWeaver 4? I can't find anything about scrolling banners in the documentation or in the several books I've searched. Thanks.

Dreameaver can't create something like that out of the box, you need to use some type of script for the 'scrolling' to work.
This is pretty good, with lots of variations:

You may find something listed here that may give you an idea:

or go over to www.jquery.com (that's one of the popular frameworks being used at the moment for image slidehows/banners/galleries etc).

Dreamweaver CS4 dead slow on windows 7 after inserting some png images, I can't scroll. Why?

I am using Dreamweaver CS4 on windows 7, I put some png images in table and one 900px width image on background, now I cannot scroll the page, I can work smoothly on code view, but really dead slow in design view, Why? I am using Toshoba Tecra laptop - Core 2 Duo 1.8GHz with 2.5GB RAM.
Is it related to cache? Is it need any special settings for using too many images? Please help.

Thanks dear, The image has 1.08MB, but I find out the problem - I have 3 transparent images(less than 1kb) as table backgrounds, When I removed those images it works smoothly, I can scroll as well. But to keep the design how can I use transparent image without slowdown. The images are in PNG-24 format and i used those through CSS.
Thanks for your help.

Dreamweaver CS4 start a FLV video clip by clicking an image or text

Hi
I have 4 small FLV video clips on my page and I would like to start (and possibly stop) these clips by clicking on an embedded image or piece of text on the same page rather than by clicking the video clip itself.
Can anyone suggest a piece of JavaScript or a DW Behaviour that would do the trick.
I am using Dreamweaver CS4 for Windows 7.
Any help much much appreciated.
Regards
George

HI PZ
Thanks for getting back to me. Although I must admit this is very disappointing. Surely there must some Javascript that would launch the FLV video clips that could be copied and pasted into DW - I've seen similar features in many websites whereby clicking a thumbnail image launches a video clip.
Any one else any thoughts.
Thanks
George

Scrolling text box errors in cs4

So i have a scrolling text on a website that im remaking but its utilizing java and for some reason when i moved it over it now says
"KEYCODEWRONG OR MISSING"
and
"NOTICE WRONG OR MISSING"
after the text i add in there its not doing it on the old site but only on the new site any reason why this would be happening?

You can, but it's not very elegant. For one thing, whatever text you have will have to basically be on another webpage addressable by URL in the iframes expression. I guess it would work, though. It's just like having two pages, where maybe one would suffice, you know?
There are some javascript examples that I have come across that would probably work. The HTML tags seem to be unreliable....I have seen some that only work on IE and not for the mozilla based browsers.
Anyways, here's an example of a scrolling iframe....it's the messageboard from my Guestmap...

As you can see...it's not great, but it's workable.

Editing Text in Dreamweaver Display View

I have just started using Dreamweaver CS4. In older versions
of Dreamweaver, I'm used to seeing text in Display view and being
able to edit the text directly in Display view, rather than having
to edit text in Code view. But when I'm trying to edit text in
Display view on a webpage that has text in a scrollable window,
Dreamweaver does not allow me to scroll down the scroll box, so I
can't edit text that is lower down in the scrollable area.
Anybody have an idea on how I can accomplish this?
Thanks very much.
Jason

That would be the way....

Dreamweaver CS4: I'd say it's broken

Just tried to give it one more chance today, but
unfortunately I have to wait. The problem is selecting/focus
issues. Already mentioned in another topic, the code view selection
behaves weird, sometimes selecting the whole code on its own will,
sometimes selecting a line and not letting me selecting a
particular segment of text at all. Also the code scrolls by itself
when I swap between open windows, making me losing my overview (not
my mind, so far ;-)
These issues are totally stopping the show, back to CS3 now,
and looking forward to a quick fix :-)
Best regards Øivind

For sure I agree but it takes some time for issues, be they
small or
large, to come to light, so the 30 day trial may not be long
enough to
establish if the release is suitable or not for some. If they
can get
some quick, inside 'unbiased' information from a forum such
as this it
has to be an advantage for them.

I would say its a combination of circumstances. Not a

date.

Getting something for free will always sway opinions, more in

I'm sure there are a few additions which might be worth
having (as in
all new releases) but whether they warrant the upgrade price
in most
peoples circumstances is debatable. Myself, I don't think
this is a
particularly exciting release but that could be because the
areas that
Adobe have concentrated on improving I wouldn't use anyway.

Maybe that's where they are going wrong...listening to too
many
professionals and not enough 'casual' users. I personally
think they are
introducing to many 'niche' type elements into Dreamweaver
and perhaps
not really asking what does the 'casual' user require. Those
are most
likely the majority of their users, not professionals.
This version is only a big leap (or maybe some would say a
backwards
leap) because they have removed Layout Mode and are insistent
in using
standards practice. Its not for me or them to insist on
anything from
their clients. Their job is to provide a tool which their
client base
can use from version to version without having to jump
through hoops. If
they can't then they are in danger of losing some of them.
Its a brave
decision to take.

Problems to Download Dreamweaver CS4 with Akamai Download Manager!

I want to download Dreamweaver CS4 Italian Windows Trial version.
I have Internet Explorer 7, PC with OS Windows XP x64bit Corporate, Core2Quad Q9650, Motherboard MSI P45Platinum with Ethernet 10/100/1000,
4GBRAM,3 HDD 500GB WesternDigital,Nvidia GeForce 9400GT.
I have installed "Akamai Download Manager ActiveX" control asked on the top of window popup.
Clicked Yes:Installation confirmation.
But I have tried to click the button "Download" and just one window with this message appears and disappears immediately:
Per scaricare il software è necessario installare Akamai Download Manager...
Problemi di download?
Assistenza per il download...
Il sistema non dispone dei requisiti minimi per eseguire Akamai Download Manager.
(The system doesn't meets the minimum system requirements to run Akamai Download Manager.)
I can't download anything. Why?
I have disable Pop-ups Blocker, and disabled also Anti-Phishing Filter.
Disabled also Antivirus and the Firewall.
Set and lowered Security Protection from Tools>Internet Options: to "Medium"; and also, another time, set to "Personalized" with all the controls
switched to "Active".
Set Privacy>Settings>"Accetta tutti i cookie"(lowered to full bottom).
I have read this Akamai Download Manager FAQ:
-"Nothing happens when I click the download link"
If nothing happened after you clicked the download link, either your pop-up blocker or a high security setting on your web browser may have stopped
the Akamai DLM window from opening.
If you have a pop-up blocker enabled in your web browser or in your Internet toolbar (such as the Yahoo! toolbar or the Google toolbar), you will
need to disable your pop-up blocker to start your download. For additional information, and for instructions on changing your security setting, see
the "Akamai Download Manager system requirements" (ServiceNote kb400530).
Note: The download manager can sometimes take up to a minute to load. Please allow time for the initial loading before assuming there is a problem
Thus, I have followed this rules in Akamai Download Manager System Requirements:
Internet Explorer 7
1) Access your Internet options from the Windows Control Panel (Internet Options) or by selecting Tools > Internet Options in Internet Explorer
2) Select the Security Tab
3) Click Custom Level
4) Scroll through the list of security options and set:
-ActiveX controls and plug-ins > Download signed ActiveX controls > Enable or Prompt
-ActiveX controls and plug-ins > Run ActiveX controls and plug-ins > Enable or Prompt
-ActiveX controls and plug-ins > Script ActiveX controls marked safe for scripting > Enable or Prompt
-Downloads > File download > Enable
-Miscellaneous > Allow script-initiated windows without size or position constraints > Enable
-Scripting > Active scripting > Enable
5) Click OK
6) Click OK again
But nothing changes.
On my PC I have also this installation: "J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 5" and "Java(TM)6 Update 15".
But the download doesn't start at all.
1) How can I do to download Dreamweaver CS4-Windows-ITALIAN language?
2) Is it possible to download 364.8 MegaBytes without Akamai Download Manager?
Please Hurry!
Horsepower0171.

another option you may have is resettofactory
start- run- type:
cmd
press enter
type:
cd c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader
press enter
type:
loader.exe /resettofactory
press enter
please perform a backup first
test your browser before you restore your backup, and to be ssafe I would do a selective restore
open DTM, go to backup/restore- advanced
top left click on file-open
find your backup, it will load on the left side
you current working BB will be on the right side
transfer ONLY the absolute important databases from the left to the right(address, cal, phone logs, messages, sms, tasks, memo)... dont do any that you dont know and dont do any OPTIONS ones

Problem with Dreamweaver CS4 after upgrade to Lion

I am having a problem after upgrading to Lion, with my Dreamweaver CS4 . When I try to use the bold button the text completely dissapears from the screen in design view The text is still there as it shows up in preview and also shows up in code view. Has anyone else had similar problems since the upgrade? and is there going to be a fix for it.

http://www.adobe.com/products/creativesuite/faq.html#lion-os
There are a number of known compatibility issues with Creative Suites and Lion
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/905/cpsid_90508.html
Can't see your specific issue mentioned though.
Perhaps report it to Adobe via the Bug Report form giving full details

Will Dreamweaver CS4 work properly with 10.6.1 Snow Leopard?

Hello
Can anyone tell me please, if Adobe Dreamweaver CS4 work properly with my MacBook OS 10.6.1 Snow Leopard? Adobe state "Mac OS X v10.4.11–10.5.4" in the system requirements, but does this mean, in practise, that Dreamweaver will not work properly with Snow Leopard?
I have tried to find info about this here, but have spend ages wading through masses of complaints about various applications crashing for people after they upgraded to 10.6.1 Snow Leopard. Personally, touch wood, I've had no problems with Snow Leopard, but I only really use it for Internet surfing and word processing (my work, music stuff on Logic Pro 8, is done on my Mac Pro which came with Leopard and which I am NOT upgrading - not yet!).
I have also attempted to get an answer from Adobe - I 'phoned their "Pre-sales enquiries" number 0800 028 0148 (in the UK) and spoke to someone who sounded as if she was on the moon and who clearly had absolutely no idea what I was talking about. I gave up with them! They didn't give an email address to ask on.
I'd be very grateful if anyone can give a clear, authoritative answer please - if possible.

I've been a Mac user since 1987 and have never upgraded the OS too soon after a new version was launched. Any new OS, like new houses, will have a 'snagging list' - unforeseen problems that arise and need to be sorted before your purchase is truly habitable and functions as expected.
But the stability of OS X 10.5 paved the way for my lapse of judgement when I upgraded to Snow Panther last week, while its compatibility with some major software is still clearly too buggy.
I've been using Dreamweaver (DW) CS4 successfully on OS X 10.5 for some time. Since installing OS X 10.6.1 I now have problems with DW, which I've alerted Adobe to.
When using Design View in DW CS4, any formatted text - from html tags to css tags - disappears from the Design view. The code appears correctly in the Code window and even if you highlight text that has coding attached in Code view - eg text with a url link attached - the Design view continues to ignore it and removes the text from its view. I've discovered that my heading tags (h1, h2, etc) all make the text disappear in Design view in a way that would be the envy of members of the Magic Circle! The only thing that seems to get through is text that is surrounded by paragraph tags.
Thing is that 'Preview in Browser' shows the page correctly (except in Opera, which I've only installed since installing Snow Leopard, so I can't say how this displayed in the previous OS versions).
Also when I upload the site to the server it all seems to display more or less as it should.
So currently it seems that DW CS4's Design view is no longer WYSIWYG! Expect to find lots of text hidden in Design view and have to use Code view much more.
It would be nice to think that Apple and Adobe would talk to each other and work it out between them.
re: Dreamweaver, I'd check back to Adobe.com regularly to see when they upgrade the OS requirements to 10.6.1 (I hadn't spotted before I bought Snow Leopard that they only go up to 10.5 in their OS recommendations).
My advice if you're thinking of upgrading to Snow Panther: delay it until it more of it works compatibly with your major applications. Check the OS spec from each software manufacturer first. Meanwhile I'll just have to wait patiently for Apple & Adobe to get their act together...

How to Make Dreamweaver CS4/Flash CS4 Website Function on all Latest Mobile Devices

Hello!
I am trying to add code into my Dreamweaver CS4 file and/or Flash CS4 file in order to have the website I have created work across all of the latest mobile devices as well as traditional online systems. My flash file has a transparent stage, and my dreamweaver file has a full-screen background image. I have reviewed various tutorials and articles available online, and some advocate simply adding code, which does not seem to be working for me, while others suggest having a similar separate site created solely for mobile devices. If this is the best option, I don't know how that should be set up. What is the best path to take with this?
This is the collection of various pieces of code I have tried adding to my files:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width" user-scalable="yes" initial-scale="1.0" /> 
   <meta name="HandheldFriendly" content="true" />

      foreground.x = (background.width / 2) -
         (foreground.width / 2);
      foreground.y = (background.height / 2) +
         (foreground.height / 2);
//cont.//
var title:SimpleLabel = new SimpleLabel("My Application",
   "bold", 0xffffff, "_sans", this.inchesToPixels(.15));
this.center(title, titleBar);
this.addChild(title);
//override width and height getters

if (Capabilities.manufacturer == "Android Linux" && Capabilities.screenResolutionY == 1024)
next_btn.width = 85;

I have tried various combinations of the code listed above, but nothing seems to be working. I am not sure as to the positioning of the code, and maybe that is the problem, or maybe it is because this code in not for CS4, or not appropriate for my project. I also do not know what code should be inside the Flash file, nor what should should be inside the Dreamweaver file.
Thank you in advance for any assistance!

Hi
To add to what Gramps has said, Adobe has ceased developing its flash player for ALL mobile devices so do not use Flash for any mobile device.
Depending on the complexity of your Flash program you may be able to recreate it using Edge, but the code generated by Edge does not work in IE8 or below.
For details on Edge, see - http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/edge/

How to Make Flash CS4/Dreamweaver CS4 Website Function on all Latest Mobile Devices

Hello!
I am trying to add code into my Dreamweaver CS4 file and/or Flash CS4 file in order to have the website I have created work across all of the latest mobile devices as well as traditional online systems. My flash file has a transparent stage, and my dreamweaver file has a full-screen background image. I have reviewed various tutorials and articles available online, and some advocate simply adding code, which does not seem to be working for me, while others suggest having a similar separate site created solely for mobile devices. If this is the best option, I don't know how that should be set up. What is the best path to take with this?
This is the collection of various pieces of code I have tried adding to my files:
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width" user-scalable="yes" initial-scale="1.0" /> 
   <meta name="HandheldFriendly" content="true" /> 
</style>
   <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
      <param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" />
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
        <param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" />
        <param name="var params = {          id: "flashID", name: "flashcontent", menu: "false", allowFullScreen: "true", fullScreenOnSelection: "true", scale:"noscale", salign:"middle"};"
stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
//or//
this.stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
this.stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
next_btn.width = 133 * .5;
next_btn.height = 133 * .5;
//flash//
next_btn.width = Capabilities.screenDPI * .5;
next_btn.height = Capabilities.screenDPI * .5;
//flash//
this.stage.addEventListener(Event.RESIZE, doLayout);
//flash://
<initialWindow>
   <width>320</width>
   <height>480</height>
   
</initialWindow>
* Convert inches to pixels.
private function inchesToPixels(inches:Number):uint
   return Math.round(Capabilities.screenDPI * inches);
var button:Sprite = new Sprite();
button.x = 20;
button.y = 20;
button.graphics.beginFill(0x 003037);
button.graphics.drawRect(0, 0, this.inchesToPixels(.75),
   this.inchesToPixels(.25));
button.graphics.endFill();
   this.addChild(button);
//hard-code title://
var titleBar:Sprite = new Sprite();
titleBar.x = 0;
titleBar.y = 0;
//stage width determines width of title://
var titleBar:Sprite = new Sprite();
titleBar.x = 0;
titleBar.y = 0;
titleBar.graphics.beginFill(0x003037);
titleBar.graphics.drawRect(0, 0, this.stage.stageWidth,
   this.inchesToPixels(.3));
titleBar.graphics.endFill();
this.addChild(titleBar);
//footer://
var footer:Sprite = new Sprite();
footer.graphics.beginFill(0x003037);
footer.graphics.drawRect(0, 0, this.stage.stageWidth,
   this.inchesToPixels(.3));
footer.graphics.endFill();
footer.x = 0;
footer.y = this.stage.stageHeight - footer.height;
this.addChild(footer);
* Center one DisplayObject relative to another.
private function center(foreground:DisplayObject,
   background:DisplayObject):void
      foreground.x = (background.width / 2) -
         (foreground.width / 2);
      foreground.y = (background.height / 2) +
         (foreground.height / 2);
//cont.//
var title:SimpleLabel = new SimpleLabel("My Application",
   "bold", 0xffffff, "_sans", this.inchesToPixels(.15));
this.center(title, titleBar);
this.addChild(title);
//override width and height getters
public override function get width():Number
   return this.textLine.textWidth;
public override function get height():Number
   return (this.textLine.ascent - 1);
if (Capabilities.manufacturer == "Android Linux" && Capabilities.screenResolutionY == 1024)
next_btn.width = 85;
next_btn.height = 85;
This is the code for my Dreamweaver CS4 file (without the additional erogenous code attempts!):

There is no simple code to add that will display the same on all mobile devices....
you do know that the iProducts (iPhone, iPad, etc) don't display Flash at all, right?
So as a start for "functioning on all latest mobile devices" you should drop any Flash content you have and move on.
