"Set text of container" behavior crashes Dreamweaver! (CS3)

When I try to change pages which use the "Set text of
container" behavior it
crashes DW-CS3. The dialog which used to come up first shows
a series of
asterisks in the drop-down for the container selected, and
the CPU does
overtime for about a minute before the correct values appear.
If I change
any values and OK it, then CPU starts using over 90% on DW
and nothing
happens until I force a shut-down (I've left it running for
over 15 mins!)
I have tried setting up a new "Set text of container"
behavior and the same
thing happens.

Oh it truly needs work...
http://www.jackbooks.com/Wystan/Regional/Regionalism.htm
Even on a simple new page with a couple of divs this
behaviour is now very
slow and the line of asterisks comes up while waiting for the
dialog to
load. What has changed? How can a simple behaviour be now so
demanding?

How do I GET the 'set text of container' behavior in DW CS3 if it's missing?

I'm building a site using CSS in DW CS3 (bought in May 2006) that has some photo gallery pages where a large image changes per thumbnails to its right that are clicked. The thumbnails are in their divs and the wished-for big image should appear in a larger div to the left. I've read in other postings here that I can use Behaviors panel > Set Text > Set text to container to do this, but this behavior is missing in my Set Text submenu. How do I add this behavior there?
Also, how do I not only create this 'on click' behavior, but have the thumbnail image change to a 'HIT' state like a rollover would?
(P.S. - posted this yesterday, slightly different heading, but it didn't appear today)
Thanks for your help --

Check this location in windows C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Dreamweaver CS5\configuration\Behaviors\Actions\Set Text
If this Set Text folder is not there it means that the behavior did not get installed. So you might need to reinstall DW CS3.

How to restore image after Set Text of Container behavior

Hi there, I'm not sure how to apply the Set Text of Container behavior. Basically, when I mouse over an image, I want a larger version of the image with decription text to appear. I also want to restore the original image without text on mouse out.
I want the larger image and its text to appear in the exact location of the original image not anywhere else on the page. Here's an example what I've done to try and achieve the effect:-
1. Create a div and insert image in it.
2. Select the image and Set Text of Container behavior. Under the Set Text of Container dialog box, select the div that the image is in (e.g. div "apdiv1") and type in the New HTML - For example: <img src="largerimage.jpg"><span id="apdiv1">image description</span>
3. Set the event to mouseover
I do not know how to proceed to restore the original image without text when I mouse out. I know I’m doing something wrong to achieve this effect but I can’t figure out what it is. Your help is greatly appreciated!

Use CSS Disjointed Rollovers.

Set Text in Container- Different Classes each line of text

I'm using the Set text of Container behavior to function as a caption in my displaced rollover. It works fine but there is one problem I'm having.
My orginal "placeholder" caption looks something like this:
Project Name
Location
Photographer
I achieved this by using "span" on the orginal caption and each line has a class.
However when I rollover it loses it's styling. How do I apply the classes to the text in the behavior?
Thanks

Sorta.
So I would type in this below in set behavior box?
<span class="projectname">Project Name<br /> </span> etc.....

Set Text of Container to HTML not working

I have a div tag named "theAnswer" on a page. When the user
clicks the "Submit" button, I want some text to appear inside the
div that has HTML formatting.
The HTML code for the text I want to appear is below:
You are correct! We are committed to conducting
business with
the highest degree of integrity, complying with legal
standards and
regulations and serving others with respect, fairness and
caring.  Click here for <a
href="javascript:;"
onClick="MM_openBrWindow('../docs/
Ethics_Standard_1.pdf','','scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,width=790,height=575')">More
Info</a> or click Continue.
After I put in the Behavior to "Set Text > Set Text of
Container to", choose the correct Div tag, and paste the above into
the "New HTML" field, when I click the Submit button, I get the
following appearing in the div "theAnswer" exactly how it appears
below as text without it being actual formatted HTML.
You are correct! We are committed to conducting
business with

It's not formatted as HTML, it just comes out exactly what
the coding is. Why?!

Set text of container - javascript help, please!

I have used Dreamweaver behaviours to "Set text of container" and make different writing appear inside a box when I click a hotspot. Now I want people to be able to click on the writing that just appeared and make more text appear in another box. Could someone tell me how to do this? I don't think I can use Dreamweaver's behaviours for this because there's no material trigger... in that the writing that is the trigger only appears when the first trigger is clicked, but I'm more than happy to be corrected!!
So, I've been trawling through javascript libraries but I don't know what I'm doing, so if someone could either tell me how to do this in dreamweaver or really spell out what libraries etc. I need to download and what code I need to make a bit of text that's already a set text of a container into a trigger for a set text of another container, that would be great!
Sorry for the complicated question, it's difficult to explain what I mean.
All help very much appreciated ^^

'set text of container' won't work in IE8

(I'm resubmitting this discussion as I wrote the wrong version of IE in my last post).
Hoping someone can help
At the moment I am using 'swap image' to change the text that appears within one container when I hover over different buttons.
I am using images of text rather than text itself because I have found that the 'set text of container' won't work when tested in IE8 (which is important for me). This makes the page much slower to load than it should be.
It works perfectly in Firefox and Safari but not in IE8.
Below is a link to my site page which shows how it should work (even though it's currently just images not text)
http://www.lindengraphics.com.au/feedback.html
And below is the coding which appears when I set the page using 'set text of container'.
<div id="apDivthumb1"><img src="assets/client_feedback/fdb_thumb1.jpg" alt="thumnbail1" name="fdb_thumb1" width="43" height="43" id="fdb_thumb1" onmouseover="MM_setTextOfLayer('feedbacktbl','','"Example of text I have written."')" /></div>
<div id="apDivthumb2"><img src="assets/client_feedback/fdb_thumb2.jpg" alt="thumbnail2" width="43" height="43" onmouseover="MM_setTextOfLayer('feedbacktbl','','"Example of text I have written."')" /></div> etc etc
I've taught myself Dreamweaver so am still fairly new to it and coding (although not new to website design) so please explain things in simple terms so that it's clear for me.
If anyone has the time to help me with this it would be really appreciated!!
Many thanks in advance, Michelle

Good News!
There is no problem in any version of IE on a windows based machine.

Can links inside "set text of container" behaviours open in a new page?

I am using the set text of container behaviour to show different information within the same page, to keep things neat and simple to navigate. Some of the text needs to be external links, but they open in the current page, not a new page even though I have set the target to _blank.
Is there another way to keep using the set text of container and have the links open in another page?
thanks!

Well, after some further google searches, I'll answer my own question...
selecting the link inside the set text of container and adding a behaviour to it - "open in browser" will make the link open in a new window.

How do I Set Text of Container?

I want my "submit" button to change the text of the "block01"
container, but I get an error message in Internet Explorer 6. I
used a Dreamweaver CS3 behavior for this. Before the error message
pops up, you can breifly see that my new text does appear in the
container, but you have to watch close because it only appears for
a half a second.
The website is www.megazilla.com
I have never used CSS before, so I am probably doing
something very basic wrong.
I uploaded the index.htm file and the megazilla.css file. I
can't see any other files in my Dreamweaver file list.
I am using Dreamweaver CS3.
Thanks in advance!

You are trying to submit a form without an action attribute.
That's why you
are getting the error.
<input name="Submit" type="submit" id="Submit"
onclick="MM_setTextOfLayer('block01','','THIS HAS BEEN
CHANGED BY SUBMIT
BUTTON')" value="Submit" />
But this will not work, since the form will either submit to
itself or to
another page, and in either case, you will no longer be able
to see the
'changed' message.

Dynamic drop down list crash dreamweaver CS3

Hi,
I'm having a problem with Dreamweaver CS3.I'm running it with
Vista SP1
I try to create a mysql dynamic dropdown list in AJAX with
this
Tutorial
Once the form is created and when I try to insert the php
code and change the name of the variable , Dreamweaver crash
everytime and close.
I tried also with other tutorial and codes but it crashes
everytime I insert some dynamic dropdown list.
If someone ever encountered this probleme or have any idea
... thanks !!

The Preview function is a development feature to demonstrate the results of merging data (the .xml specificed in Form Properties > Preview > Data File) with the .xdp or .pdf. When you open in the form in Reader or Acrobat the same .xml file is not merged with the form automatically.
To get data into a PDF you have a number of options including:
1) use LiveCycle Forms ES server-side solution to do data merge
2) use a data connection to a database or a Web Service
3) use JavaScript importData() or FormCalc get()
To use options 2) and 3) the form has to be rights-enabled for the respective function to work in Reader.
If you use option 3), you can attach the JavaScript 'xfa.host.importData()' to a button or some other event. When importData() fires it will prompt the user with a file browser to pick the .xml. The importData() method will work if the PDF is rights-enabled, only. Open the PDF in Acrobat Professional, from the toolbar, select 'Advanced > Extend Features in Adobe Reader' and save the PDF.
Note, if you specify the .xml file name in importData(), the PDF must be certified. This is for security purposes.

Editing PHP pages containing forms crashes Dreamweaver

I have a small intranet project I'm using for doc storage and
retrieval on a localhost machine.
Have Windows XP, DW CS3, MySQL DB, and phpMyAdmin.
The project was working fine up until about a week ago.
Now, whenever I place my cursor in an area of the php file
that is between <?PHP ?> tags, Dreamweaver throws an
exception error.
I had installed PEAR between the last time it worked and when
it started throwing errors.
I removed all the PEAR folders and files and made sure
PHP.ini isn't referencing any PEAR .dlls etc.
Checked environment paths too, BTW.
I'm still thoroughly broken though.
I'm inclined to think it's not in the code itself since that
wasn't changed between the time everything worked and when
everything stopped working.
Looking for any ideas as to possible causes of the
problem.

Issues with Set Text of Container

I'm creating a gallery using OnClick commands. For the most part it works fine, but every so often a link will display photos instead of the text it's supposed to put in for a link. I have a div with a set of main "links" (they're not actual links but rather text with OnClick commands,) a div where the photos go, and a couple of divs for where more "links" show up depending upon which photos are showing. A version can be seen at www.beckettfurniture.com/repair. Using Fabric Chairs as an example, I want to put "Page: 1" in the div under "Case: 1, 2." However, when I do that I get the second photo from each case showing up with:
Case: (the photo here) and then the following code.
')" onmousedown="MM_changeProp('repair-case1','','color','#CB3332','SPAN')" onmouseover="MM_changeProp('repair-case1','','color','#CB3332','SPAN')" onmouseout="MM_changeProp('repair-
Then there's
case1','','color','#000','SPAN')">1
and another photo
then this
')" onmousedown="MM_changeProp('repair-case2','','color','#CB3332','SPAN')" onmouseover="MM_changeProp('repair-case2','','color','#CB3332','SPAN')" onmouseout="MM_changeProp('repair-case2','','color','#000','SPAN')">2
Then it does the same with the next div tag. The odd thing is that I just added an onclick command for the last div tag, and yet it affected 2 of them. Any suggestions as to how to get Dreamweaver to stop messing up like this?

I posted a version at http://www.beckettfurniture.com/repairerror.html to show the issue. I let Fabric Chairs have the error in case you need to see it. When you click on Fabric Chairs you'll see what I mean.
Also, the link above should be http://www.beckettfurniture.com/repair.html.
