Setting Browser Preview Preferences

I feel a bit silly about this - but for some reason I am
unable to set the browser preview options in my preferences. I'm
using Dreamweaver 8 on a Mac OX10.3.9, and trying to designate
Firefox 1.5 as my default primary browser, and Safari 1.3.2 &
IE5 as secondary options. When I first open Dreamweaver I get a
message saying 'Unable to read Preview in Browser Preference.
Please remove all browsers form the list and add them again". So I
remove them all and when I try to add them back, none of my choices
show up in the box. Then I restart and the old ones are still
there. If I try to change the check in the box that indicates
primary or secondary browsers, my program crashes. Anyone have a
clue what's going on? Thanks so much for any help...

Same thing just happened to me, DW 2004 mx on Mac ox 10.4.10.
"When I first open Dreamweaver I get a message saying 'Unable

restart and the old ones are still there. If I try to change the

Any suggestions? Trash preferences? Reload? I also tried a
restart with an unplug for good measure, no dice. Thanks!

This - file:///ether/Patricia Yenawine/images/oxblood_med.jpg
- tells me
that your local root folder is on a network shared drive. I
am guessing
that your problem stems from the fact that network
permissions/protocols are
interfering with your ability to successfully write your
cache files and
your browser preferences.
Do you have the same problem with sites that are truly local
to your
computer?

Browser preview menu bar navigation problems

Hey everyone I have a very strange problem that I honestly have no idea at all how to handle.
Below is a template I've put together. It's for a pump repair business site (to provide clarity on any content).
Everything was going smoothly, until I previewed it in the browser (using Firefox and Chrome). I can jump from page to page about twice, but, after that, especially when I try to return to the home page, I recieve an error like this:
' No webpage was found for the web address:file:///C:/Users/John/Desktop/Design/Merit%20Pump%20Website/MeritPump_Template.dwt '
And I am also not able to access my submenus in the browser preview, and inevitably NOTHING will work after the first few jumps between pages.
My code is below. Thank you so much for any help- this is my last major roadblock before I am able to publish.

Hi!
1. file:///C: /Users/John/Desktop/Design/Merit%20Pump%20Website/MeritPump_ Template.dwt '
1.1 Suspicious are always these strings starting with file:///, what means, "DW thinks that every file you have linked to is outside the local root folder":
1.2. Don't use spaces in folders/filenames. Spaces get converted %20, you could use underscores eg.
2. ../MP-Kobepumps.html
Where is this file located? Please control your path in DW, maybe you need ../../, maybe you can do without it, depending on which level the file is situated/nested.
... maybe you can post a link to your page, no matter how it looks like.Hans-G.

Font in Design View different from font in Live View and browser preview

My external style sheet has the body set for a sans-serif font and there is nothing to contradict it in the HTML documents. But while I get sans-serif in the Design View (as you would expect), I get a serif font in Live View and Browser Preview, not to mention on the Web itself.
How is this possible (and what should I do about it)?
--Paul

Murray and David: it worked! It is a rare and joyous experience to have a straightforward solution to the sorts of problems I come up with (including other realms). But I have to say that with HTML and CSS (and hence with Dreamweaver), solutions to difficulties have seemed within easier reach than in other parts of the computer world.
By the way, I wanted to choose "correct answer" for both your posts, but after making the first click it was no longer available for the remaining post--so I typed "helpful" even though that one was correct too.
Thanks again.

Pasted lightboxes do not show when uploaded but do on browser preview

I created the lightbox display on the first page and then as i worked from page to page i would paste the original lightbox to the new page and replace the images and the captions but when i upload the site it doesn't show the lightboxes on the pages that i pasted the lightbox into it is just blank but the headers and footers are ok. The lightbox shows in the browser preview with all the images and captions.
all the images are there in the assets folder

Search the knowledge base for NET Red X and try out the solutions there. If you are using .NET 2005 make sure to focus on the ones for it first. It is usually either a web.config setting or not having the asp_client folder in the correct place.

Browser preview of image

For an unknown reason, before I save an image for the web, I commonly preview the image in a browser. Now it seems to be applying the image as a tiled background image in browser preview. Where can I change this setting?

what did you do to resolve this? i am having the same problem plus the image details/specs is now showing on top covering the top part of the image and not the bottom of the image where it used to.

Application server 8.1 alternative for Setting the Document Preferences

hi All,
I used to do the following under application server 7 to set the Document preferences:
To use the Administration interface to set the document preferences, follow these steps:
1. In the left pane, for the application server instance, open HTTP Server.
2. Open Virtual Servers.
3. Click the name of the virtual server you want to edit.
4. Click the Doc Handling tab.
5. Click Doc Preferences.
6. Choose the appropriate field values, as discussed in the following sections.
7. Click OK.
I need to do the same thing in application server 8.1 how can i do that?
What is the alternative procedure?
I want to have multiple indexes under the same instance which hosts multiple applications
Thanks,
Scotty

hi,
Can anyone please guide me to the correct solution?
I have a project and i dont know whether i am stepping right?
I read in the docs about "welcome-file-list" that is found in the default-web.xml file and it pointed that i can design my application's web.xml to include "welcome-file-list" to point to my customized index.html
If this is the case, then how can i point my browser to the server is it by the context root only?
Your quick reply is really appreciated.
Thanks,
Scotty

When I export photos from Aperture, the pixel dimensions are halved thus losing data. I have set the export preferences to export at original size, to no avail. This happens even if I just drag to the desktop and then back, or if I export into my iphoto

When I export photos from Aperture to desktop or iphoto I lose pixels. The pixel dimensions are halved, despite setting the export preference to export at original size. Anyone know why or how to correct this?

Dragging an Image from Aperture exports the Preview. Preview parameters are set on the Previews tab of Aperture preferences.
Are you seeing the same results when you export using one of the export commands?
Is so, confirm that the settings in the selected Image Export Preset ("Aperture➞Presets➞Image Export") truly represent those in the Image Export Preset's name.
HTH,

What is the best setting for previews in aperture for creating DVDs ?

Hi,
I would like to send clients DVDs of the photo shoots by dragging over the preview jpegs into iDVD. Not having a clue about the quality I should set for the previews [ in aperture preferences] could any one give some idea what preview size `I should be using for fairly decent quality. I should state I do not own a Television set and never will, so cannot test for myself. Seeing as widescreen is the most poular type of goggle box I intend to set IDVD to the widescreen dimensions.
Also does the size and quality of previews affect the overall responsivness of Aperture?

Congratulations on your avoidance of TV - I wish I could.
The most expensive High definition sets around at the moment have a resolution that can display 1080 horizontal lines, so anything greater than this would seem to be a waste.
Depending on who you believe the definition of "High Definition" as it refers to TV begins at 720 horizontal lines and extends up to 1080 lines. This is considerably less than what any half decent computer monitor can display.
If you set your previews to the one with an asterisk you will be perfectly matched to display fullscreen on your computer monitor, and as I said above this should be better than most TVs. If you set a step or two lower thaen you probably won't have any problems on most TVs.

DW 8.02 on Mac bug - Browser preview prefences

Hi
Since updating to 8.0.2 DW lost its settings for browser
previews and asks
that I remove all and add them again.
When I attempt to add them again, I select say Firefox, set
it as primary
but it then does not appear in the list.
I have disabled all extensions and am running the latest osx
on a mac G5.
Please advise.
Thanks, J

Further to this, since the update, DW is not remembering
recent
documents....

1. What's the difference between private mode in Safari which i have to turn on every time again when opening safari. It's a two click activity which i would love to be able to set in the preference as default.

1. What's the difference between private mode in Safari which i have to turn on every time again when opening safari.
It's a two click activity which i would love to be able to set in the preference as default. It's tyering when have to do it everyday a few times. (Yes, i'm one of many who have the "i like safari but since the update crash everyday a few times" syndrome...
Yes, i have updated my system.
Yes, i have repared disk permissions with disk utility.
Am open for any other help in both cases. Thank you upfront
2. and the "tell websites not to track me" under Safari - Preference - Privacy.

That box should prevent websites using trackers to log your movements on the Web to benefit advertisers. I have no idea if it does.
Safari can keep your browsing history private. When you turn on private browsing, Safari doesn’t remember the pages you visit, your search history, or your AutoFill information, so your partner cannot see where you have been, but you must also remember to also turn off acceptance of cookies.
In all other respects Private Browsing is not as private as you might think:
http://www.switchingtomac.com/tutorials/how-to-make-safaris-private-browsing-fea ture-actually-private/
http://www.insanely-great.com/news.php?id=9054
and then Apple's own advice from here: http://www.apple.com/pro/tips/privacy_safari.html
"Note that the Private Browsing option does not prevent Safari from collecting cookies (the preference files automatically generated by many websites). The Reset Safari option clears all cookies. If you want to delete only certain ones, choose Preferences from the Safari menu, click the Security tab, and then click Show Cookies. You can select and delete individual cookies from the list that appears. Careful, though — if you’re a frequent web user, this list can be very, very long."
which is itself incomplete, the relevant part being 'If you want to delete only certain ones.
To that end it is useful to have Safari Cookies installed, which is the only cookie manager available for Safari:
http://sweetpproductions.com/safaricookies/
which automatically deletes all cookies not marked as 'favourites' when closing Safari. It does the same for Flash Cookies, but they are subject for themselves:
From this website:
http://machacks.tv/2009/01/27/flushapp-flash-cookie-removal-tool-for-os-x/
For those who do not know about Flash cookies, more properly referred to as Local Shared Objects (LSO), they operate in a similar way to regular browser cookies but are stored outside the purview of your browser, meaning you cannot delete them from within your browser, whether Safari, Firefox, Opera or any other. Typically they are issued from sites or 3rd party sites that contain Adobe Flash content. Since virtually all internet advertising is delivered in Flash, Google/Doudleclick and all other internet advertising companies are sure to be tracking your browsing behavior with Flash cookies. These companies can see you traverse the Internet as you come upon the plethora of sites that contain their embedded advertising. Check out the Wikipedia entry here.
In Mac OS X they are stored in the following location:
/User’s Home Folder/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash Player/#SharedObjects
The settings for the Flash cookies are stored in:
/User’s Home Folder/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash Player/macromedia.com/support/flashplayer/sys
In OS X Local Shared Objects, or Flash Cookies, are appended with a .sol suffix. Flush deletes all the Flash cookies (.sol) and their settings.
Flush can be downloaded from that page.
If you want to retain certain Flash cookies but not others, the excellent add-on for Safari called SafariCookies now includes a setting for automatically deleting flash cookies you don't want to retain, when Safari is shut down, in the same as it deals with ordinary cookies:
http://www.sweetpproductions.com/safaricookies/index.htm
which not only does that but much more equally useful stuff!
This article covers the issue in more depth:
http://www.wired.com/epicenter/2009/08/you-deleted-your-cookies-think-again/
Flash cookies are also known as 'Zombie Cookies' and are used by a number of firms, including Hulu, MTV, and Myspace. Graham Cluley, senior technology consultant at the internet security firm Sophos, told BBC News that the source of the trouble was Adobe Flash itself, which he called "one of the weirdest programs on the planet".
"I think it's highly unlikely that these large companies have abused Flash cookies - which are different from browser cookies - with malicious intent," he said.
"I think it's much more likely that the vast majority of users are simply oblivious to the bizarre way in which Adobe allows them to configure the software."
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-10787882
And a more recent article:
http://www.nytimes.com/2010/09/21/technology/21cookie.html?_r=3&scp=1&sq=flash&s t=cse
[b]Tracker cookies and the invisible web:[/b]
– tags, web bugs, pixels and beacons that are included on web pages in order to get an idea of your online behavior.
Ghostery tracks the trackers and gives you a roll-call of the ad networks, behavioral data providers, web publishers, and other companies interested in your activity.
http://www.ghostery.com/about
This provides an extension to Safari (also available for other browsers) that shows you what data tracking is active on each web page you visit, and enables you to block them.

I'm a Forms developer, and Apex looks intriguing yet formidably intractable. Where are the triggers for

I guess I'm lacking understanding the gut essence of Apex; I've had a look at a few tutorial and the stuff
I've read so far falls far short of acceptability - the manuals have one or two sentences of "aims" at
the start of a section followed by fifty-point lists of "do this, do that" instructions then they round it
off with an audaciously arrogant section at the end along the lines of "Now you know how to do XYZ".
What this lacks is the "essence" of the task - I have to reverse engineer each blooming step to try and
understand what it is meant to achieve.
Have I missed any damn good tutorials out there - there must be some (except those boring Youtube
videos where we watch someone perform the fifty-step routines again without explaining the essence).
Can you tell that I'm frustrated by a lack of documentation; I risk losing your kind support in my early
foray into Apex (help a drowning man please :-)
Thanks again in advance
Mungo :-)Its important to remember that Apex is nothing other than a framework for creating HTML and running web pages. So what used to be triggers are now standard javascript events. Although you will find help on the forum for javascript and maybe some in the documentation, javascript events are standard and not proprietary like Forms triggers were. Its frustrating, but there are a TON of resources (google) on the basics of javascript. For instance instead of when-validate-trigger, you'll probably look at the onblur event to trigger a piece of javascript code to run your validation. You can use onfocus which would be sort of like when-new-item-instance in Forms-speak.

I'm pretty sure higher access superceedes, so you could set up a group with no actual access, just to get the preferences working, then their individual security will dictate what they can do.

To apply the group preferences to a user, add the user to the group, then right click on the user, select preferences and from the upper left corner, use the drop down to select the active preference, in this case, it will be the group you created and added them to.<BR><BR>HTH
