Source Formatting Bug in Dreamweaver CS5.5?

Dreamweaver is formatting my THEAD code unfavorably. It is correctly set in the Source Formatting Settings, but is doing some weird indentation. In the attached image, note the first TH is aligned with the opening THEAD, and the closing THEAD is indented past the last TH. Not pretty. Is there a fix?

The <th></th> tags should be within a set of <tr></tr> tags. Like this...
<table>
     <thead>
          <tr>
               <th></th>
               <th></th>
               <th></th>
          </tr>
     </thead>
     <tbody>
          <tr>
               <td></td>
               <td></td>
               <td></td>
          </tr>
     </tbody>
     <tfoot>
          <tr>
               <td></td>
               <td></td>
               <td></td>
          </tr>
     </tfoot>
</table>
Since the lack of <tr> is technically invalid code, that may be throwing DW off.

BUG: Dreamweaver CS5 misrecognizes a command received from another program...

I use a free mouse gesture program called StrokeIt. It allows mouse gestures to be made for other programs. It uses mouse gestures and a few mouse click actions to activate custom commands.
But there is a bug in which Dreamweaver CS5 won't receive a command properly from StrokeIt. A StrokeIt command sent to Dreamweaver CS5 with the wheel_down mouse gesture is misrecognized by Dreamweaver CS5 as the same command used by the wheel_up gesture. The developer of StrokeIt has done a lot of testing on this problem and has concluded that this is a recognition bug in Dreamweaver CS5 under 64 bit Windows. Can this be fixed?
BTW: I'm currently using: Win7 x64 | Dreamweaver CS5 | StrokeIt Home 0.9.7
ALSO: To perform the wheel_down / wheel_up commands in StrokeIt, you hold down the right mouse button and scroll the wheel down/up. This will run whatever commands you have customized to that gesture.

i have already submitted a bug report to adobe through the form. also, here is the detailed dicussion with the strokeit developer on this problem at the strokeit forums. the developer's name is jeff and the discussion on this problem began on nov 15 on page 2...
http://www.tcbmi.com/strokeit/forum/read.php?3,54070,page=2
this problem affects *some* 32 bit programs on 64 bit windows, and dreamweaver cs5 happens on be one of them.

FIXED!!
1)
i finally did get the message problem was with:
$mailhost='ssl://mail.domain.com';
ssl:// was just nonsense and been removed
2)
'auth' => 'true' was changed to 'auth' => 'login'
3)
for bluehost i got information that it was tls secure connection protocol not ssl
'ssl' => 'tls'
4)
port used '25' not 465.
Didnt still tried 26 and 465 maybe they would work too.

What is the best video format to use with Dreamweaver CS5.5

My client has asked what format to convert their video to before sending it to me to be placed on their homepage. I'm using DreamWeaver CS5.5 with an HTML5 template - trying to steer clear of Flash for this new site. On other sites, I embed videos from their hosting site (YouTube, SchoolTube, etc).
My question to the forum is what is the best way (and prefered format) now days to insert a video onto a webpage using DreamWeaver CS5.5 and HTML5. I have the Adobe Web Premium package.

In the chapter on video in Dive Into HTML5 it says this:
There is no single combination of containers and codecs that works in all HTML5 browsers.
This is not likely to change in the near future.
To make your video watchable across all of these devices and platforms, you’re going to need to encode your video more than once.
And a suggested workflow:
For maximum compatibility, here’s what your video workflow will look like:
Make one version that uses WebM (VP8 + Vorbis).
Make another version that uses H.264 baseline video and AAC “low complexity” audio in an MP4 container.
Make another version that uses Theora video and Vorbis audio in an Ogg container.
Link to all three video files from a single <video> element, and fall back to a Flash-based video player.
I think that your starting point is to consider your target audience.

Dreamweaver CS5.5 template PHP file path bug

I have a template that I am using for my website, it is a PHP template and for some reason whenever I have some links within the PHP code blocks that include other .php files. My code is:
<?php
//Code In template
include('../scripts/MySqlConnection.php');
include('../scripts/login.php');
?>
The code is just including some files, but when I update all the pages that use this Template they dont put the right links on them, like so:
<?php
//Code That Appears On Child Page
include('scripts/MySqlConnection.php');
include('../scripts/login.php');
?>
For some reason the first link is correct since this document is in the root of the site instead of in the Templates folder like my template is, but the second "include" statement has the wrong link inside of it. Even if I switch them around its always the very first include statement that is correct and the 2nd is always wrong.
Also the links are all relative to the document and not site root in the "Manage Sites..." dialog.
Is there anyway to fix this? I heard that this was a quirk/bug in Dreamweaver 8 or something but is it still not fixed in this version?
Thanks

Yes I guess that I am gonna have to use one of those solutions, but it still is weird that this is happening within the code though. I found one thread where the solution was to put the include tags into a seperate PHP block like this:
//Template
<?php include('../scripts/MySqlConnection.php'); ?>
<?php include('../scripts/login.php'); ?>
And it actually outputted the correct links on the child page which is really weird but this was from like Dreamweaver 8 or MX or something because the thread was from like 2007 which is weird that they hadn't fixed this bug yet considering its 2012 and Dreamweaver CS5.5 still has the bug.

Dreamweaver CS5.5 Bugs

We've encountered some bugs in what is otherwise a great application and a great job by Adobe. We would, like to start a public discussion to see if anyone else has been able to reproduce any of the issues. Recently, we put a new production machine to work in the office and since it is a clean machine, with a fresh install of only Dreamweaver CS5.5, the issues would seem to be reproducible - rather than restricted to a specific machine or configuration. So here is the first test page:
http://www.projectseven.com/testing/cs5.5-bugs/
There are other bugs we'd like to test, but let's focus on a few for now.
Happy Hunting :-)

My specs before I go into answers:
Apple Macbook Pro
Mac OSX 10.6.8
2.8 Ghz Core 2 Duo
4GB Ram
GeForce 9600M GT/9400M
Touchpad + Logitech V400 wireless mouse
1. Didn't have time to test this one yet but I will later.
2. I haven't noticed anything too bad since I switched my web host and am now using FTPS (FTP over SSL Explicit). But on regular FTP I used to see that all the time. Although the whole FTP part of DW should be rebuilt it is behind even free solutions available in both features and speed and there is no need for it.
3. The "li" bug - Reproducible. My only question here is if the user stays in Design View what would generate a new bullet? Tab?
Loss of Text Cursor - I'm unable to reproduce this one. Only time I lose the cursor is on darker backgrounds where it blends in more.
To your comments on Design View in general I agree 100%. They made Live View to show how the page will render and the example I like to point to is their own Spry code. The 1.0 code would render in Design View whereas the new 2.0 (Spry UI) code will only render in Live View and show up as a list in Design View. With the way DW and the web are going, Design View might as well be deprecated. And I do agree that the Live View builds could be updated. Small updates on a regular basis with the webkit updates would be nice here.
I'm just keeping my fingers crossed about Lion. No word on Adobe's website and unofficial ones have found nothing wrong with DW so far, although not all Adobe CS programs have been so lucky.

Bug Report: DW CS5.5 Crashes Every Time On An Image Map

I am posting this in lieu of contacting Adobe support. I went to my account to send Adobe a bug report and was told I needed to contact support via phone. That's pretty crappy. As a licensed user who's owned it less than three months, there's no direct path to tell you guys that your software is broken?
Here's the deal: I am working on an HTML landing page with one image map attached to one image. Literally, every time I make a modification to the code near the image (tied to the image map) then click into the live preview window, Dreamweaver CS5.5 crashes like a 70-year old on a bar of soap on the floor of the shower. It crashes hard. My only relief is to save the file before clicking into the live preview window. That's my only workaround to the problem.
But I'm left amazed that I can crash it every single time over an image map, flicking from the code to the preview pane. You would think that at version 11.5, a minor thing like that wouldn't hemorrage the supposed creme de la creme of web design software.
Here's the code I'm editing that causes it to crash:

Problem playing an imported flash template in dreamweaver cs5

hi,i just downloaded a flash template from flashmo.com and imported it to dreamweaver cs5 through Insert > media > SWF and it loaded. but the problem is, when i click the live view or play the file in the properties,nothing shows up.except some texts "loading XML data..."
all the flash templates i have downloaded face this prob. i have no idea where is the mistake.
what could be the problem?any help,plz.

From their website:
" Adobe Flash (version 8 or higher) is required to edit the
FLA file.
- Use the source codes at your own risk after downloading and
flashmo.com is
not responsible for any bugs or errors caused by
ActionScripts."
Do you own Flash? Are you familliar with action scripts? If
not, then you
probably want to start with a plain html template and learn
how to code html
and CSS. Flash sites look nice but they are not friendly for
Search Engines
or users who don't have flash player installed on their
system.
Here are some on-line tutorials to help you get started with
html and CSS

Remove white space and indent code in Dreamweaver CS5

Ive inherited some code which has loads of randomly placed spaces and line breaks. With Dreamweaver CS5 is it possible to clean up the code so its nicely indent like this?:
<div>
     <div>
          <div>
          </div>
     </div>
</div>

Yes, you can have Dreamweaver indent your code by going to the "Format Source Code" button on the toolbar and selecting "Apply Source Formatting".
You can edit the way that your text is formatted in Preferences > Code Format

Dreamweaver CS5 Design view defaults to print style

I created a separate style sheet for printing, and it works everywhere except one place in Dreamweaver CS5. If I open one of my pages in source code, it looks normal, and I can see where the new code is for printing ...
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/stylemain.css" media="screen, projection" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/print.css" media="print" />
However, if I switch over to Design view, it shows up in the print style. It does not do this in Live View and it does not do this on the site itself. I'm stumped.

After quitting and restarting Dreamweaver, the Design view functions normally again. Obviously a bug, but I don't know how to report it. I'll poke around the Adobe site.
If the program works normally after restarting, it's unlikely to be a reproducible bug. It could be a computer memory problem or user error. However, the correct place to report bugs (and feature requests) is through the form at http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform.
If you experience the same problem again, make sure that View > Style Rendering is set to Screen Media Type. You can also select the media type from the Style Rendering toolbar, which is not displayed by default. To turn it on, select View > Toolbars > Style Rendering.
You can use the Style Rendering submenu or toolbar to check other media types, including Print. It's possible that you had Print Media Type selected by accident.

Dreamweaver CS5 wont loop .swf file???

Hi there,
I am having a problem where i am trying to get a swf file to loop. I read on another thread that there is a bug in dreamweaver and although it automatically selects the loop button in the property inspector it does not add the code. But when i correct the code it still doesn't work! here is the code i am using:
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="550" height="400" id="FlashID" title="openingsequence">

    <param name="wmode" value="opaque" />
    <param name="swfversion" value="6.0.65.0" />
    
    <param name="expressinstall" value="Scripts/expressInstall.swf" />
    <param name="LOOP" value="true" />
    
    
    <object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="1.swf" width="550" height="400">

      </div>
      
    </object>
    
</object>
I have also read that it could be because the code for the .fla file has a <stop/> value at the end instead of the code to make it loop. I made the swf file from an mp4 in flash so ive never had the original .fla file. I have tried using a swf decompiler to get the fla file but it doesnt seem to have worked but this is a side issue...
I really just want to figure out how to get dreamweaver to loop my swf file.
Can someone please help me, ive spent all day trying to solve this!
thanks,
Matt

First welcome to the forum.
Unfortunately without being able to edit the stop() function out of the fla file, your swf will not loop.
You could use the html5 video element for your mp4 and if you have the original video file convert it to other formats for use in the html5 video, and then use the swf file as the fall back, this would allow your video to loop in those browsers that support this.
There are also 3rd party players available that will allow the swf to loop without editing but these will only work on windows.

Downloading and editing an existing WordPress site in Dreamweaver CS5.

Hello! New to the forums, here.
I'll try to be brief. I've got a WordPress site in-place at metalmeter.com that is hosted through HostGator. Basically, what I'm looking to do is get the site from the remote server and edit it in Dreamweaver CS5, previewing all changes on a local testing server before putting the updated contents back on the remote server.
Now, let me be clear: I've tried plenty of the tutorials. I've watched hours of videos. I still can't get it configured properly. I've got the FTP connection to the remote server running smoothly. I've got XAMPP installed. I'm having difficulties (and I apologize for being vague), and I just don't know where the problem is located. In my htdocs folder for XAMPP, I've got two subfolders 'metalmeter' for the remote server's downloaded contents, and 'wordpress' for the wordpress installation that every page seems to be pointing me toward. What confuses me is that when I try and open the uppermost index.php file on the remote server, the dynamically discovered content is not being displayed in the live view with my local testing server. I want to be viewing my existing WordPress site in its entirety exactly as I see it online while I'm editing it, and then pushing back updated files to the /public_html/ root directory of the remote server so that I can edit the site from my local client. I'm extremely new to Dreamweaver, so any help you could offer would be greatly appreciated.
If you know how to do exactly what I'm trying to do and have been successfully viewing and editing your existing WordPress site in Dreamweaver for upload, please take some time to explain the set-up. I'd be forever in your debt!

I've been following this discussion for a while now and I don't understand why you hope to edit articles from DW. That's what the WP Admin panel is specifically designed for. Besides, you won't find your articles in any of the site files because they don't exist there.
I agree I don't see any reason to want to edit a Wordpress site in Dreamweaver. If you are using Wordpress then you may as well put Dreamweaver in the bin. Although people do actually want to edit and manipulate the design in Dreamweaver (including myself) and from what I've read its possible but I've never found a source which explains fully how to achieve this and those that I have it seems too much effort to even bother about.
I guess the Dreamweaver environment feels more like home and is more user friendly.
To put it another way, a typical WordPress installation contains around 800 files in some 80 folders. Those files don't contain any content, just a whole lot of PHP code. In fact, the only page most people ever see on your site is the index.php page which is dynamically created over & over by the server with content from the MySql and various include files.
For sure and that's why people who use Dreamweaver and feel the need to manipulate a Wordpress site in Dreamweaver because Wordpress is 'in vogue' get lost. Wordpress just containes a lot of pages with nothing to see apart from some php, many of who will not understand one jot.
Unless you're a coding guru, you should definitely NOT touch any of the core WP files as this could cripple your site. If you want to customize your Theme, look at the CSS and include files in your Themes folder. See Anatomy of a WordPress Theme:http://yoast.com/wordpress-theme-anatomy/
lol your not wrong there!
For a quick tip on Theming, open your remote site in Firefox equipped with the 'Web Developer Toolbar'. Edit CSS on screen. Save changes to your local site and upload it to the remote server. No testing server required.
Wordpress is Wordpress and Dreamweaver is Dreameaver. As far as I can make out the two don't mix.
Ideally you would just choose a Wordpress theme which most relates to the nice site you have designed in Fireworks of which you won't find any however goodthe themes are. Then manipulate the themes css that's if you can understand it. Even for a seasoned css expert its heavy going because everyone produces css differently to achieve the same results.
Leave Wordpress well anlone unles you're going to use it out of the box so to speak or as a web-developer don't mind a bit of reverse engineering.

Tutorial Dreamweaver Cs5.5 The Missing Manual (Pg 998 - 1018) about adding dynamic data to your page

Hallo,
I did Tutorial: Displaying Database Info in the Missing Manual for Dreamweaver CS5.5.
My problem is with "Editing a Recordset and Linking to a Detail Page" (which starts at pg 1002:
I did this exercise ,over 5 times nowe, but every time with "Building the Detailed Product Page" at pg 1007, I get a bad result.
I only get one page (the default one with productID = 1) for every link on the indexpage.
In the adressbar (Live View) I see the right adress: for example: http://localhost/cos...hp?productID=16, but for all productID's only the detailspage for productID are shown.
There is also a message: Notice: Use of undefined constant ‘productID’ - assumed '‘productID’' in E:\xampp\htdocs\cosmo_shop\product.php on line 34
But I don't understand what could be wrong in this line.
Here is the code lines 33 -48: is is about the second line:
$varProduct_rsDetails = "32";
if (isset($_GET[‘productID’])) {
$varProduct_rsDetails = $_GET[‘productID’];
mysql_select_db($database_connCosmo, $connCosmo);
$query_rsDetails = sprintf("SELECT products.productID, products.productName, products.price, products.`description`, products.inventory, products.image, vendors.vendorName FROM products, vendors WHERE products.vendorID = vendors.vendorID AND products.productID = %s ", GetSQLValueString($varProduct_rsDetails, "int"));
$rsDetails = mysql_query($query_rsDetails, $connCosmo) or die(mysql_error());
$row_rsDetails = mysql_fetch_assoc($rsDetails);
$totalRows_rsDetails = mysql_num_rows($rsDetails);
mysql_select_db($database_connCosmo, $connCosmo);
$query_rsCategories = "SELECT * FROM categories ORDER BY categoryName ASC";
$rsCategories = mysql_query($query_rsCategories, $connCosmo) or die(mysql_error());
$row_rsCategories = mysql_fetch_assoc($rsCategories);
$totalRows_rsCategories = mysql_num_rows($rsCategories);
?>
Can someone tell me what is going on here?
Kind regards, Ans Hekerman

I can manually type in double brackets, like this:
$varProduct_rsDetails = "1";
if (isset($_GET["productID"])) {
$varProduct_rsDetails = $_GET["productID"];
this is accepted; no syntax-error report.
I can manually type in single brackets, like this:
$varProduct_rsDetails = "1";
if (isset($_GET['productID'])) {
$varProduct_rsDetails = $_GET['productID'];
this is also accepted; no syntax-error report.
Dreamweaver itself made this code:
$varProduct_rsDetails = "32";
if (isset($_GET[‘productID’])) {
$varProduct_rsDetails = $_GET[‘productID’];
this was not OK; there was a syntax-error report.
But strange enough, when I do paste this now from here, it is accepted.
So the problem has been, that DW created code that gave a syntax error.
I could repair it by replacing the single qoutes of DW, by typing single quotes in DW manually, or by typing in in DW manually double qoutes!!!
So maybe everybode was right!!!
But is was a very bad problem; maybe a "bug" of the program?
I repeated this about 10 times before I got the solution frome this Forum.

Dreamweaver cs5 problems and adobe support close the case on you

I emailed Adobe support with the message below and they closed the case on me and told me to go over to the developers connection website and open a case there. Well of course there is no where to open a case there, it brings you back to the normal support pages, so I opened a case again!
This is just one of the flaws in Cs5 I've found from intensive useage yesterday.
1. Hangs for nearly 2 minutes if you use an external link to ny file like jquery in the header of the pages - detailed below
2. Sometimes when selecting a related file it says "not on server" and actually tries to open ANOTHER ftp connection listed. It switches connection and then says"not on server" - well of course not....because it just changed to another server! However many time you change it back, it won't have it.
3. The pop up css is a good idea but not well thought out. I have to right click to get inspect but when I roll over the areas it doesn't show the css in the css panel. If I right click and select to show the code, it shows me the css, I then have to click it to select it in the left column. All very long winded... WHY NOT JUST CLICK AN AEA ON THE LIVE VIEW PAGE AND IT SHOWS THE CSS THERE INSTANTLY TO EDIT?!
4. On first open after a quit and relaunch, or restart, switching from normal view to live view hangs Dreamweaver for over a minute before live view is displayed.
Very very buggy and I feel I have paid for a beta version.
Hello I now have Dreamweaver CS5.
It has MAJOR flaw.
If a webpage contains the code
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.4.2.min.js"></script>#
It takes over 1 minute to open each page after launching
This is caused by the 'related files' facility
THIS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE in software which is this expensive.
All design companies such as us use jquery.
Please fix this flaw asap or supply me with a fix. Turning of related files
helps but if I was to do that what would be the point in
having that facility? (which I am paying for!)

Hi,
Appreciate your reply and accept what you say, I'll take on board the suggestions.
My answers under yours below
Second, the Bug Report form is here: https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform . Technical support is not a bug reporting center, nor are they developers which is why they probably closed your case. And there really are not any questions in your support request it reads like a bug report and an angry one at that, not even starting out calm, shouting almost immediately.
- Frustration, I've been up all night, hours messing with it.
Thanks for the link, I'll post to that. I personally don't agree that bugs this big should be present in software of such high upgrade fee's and which should have been tested but I guess we all know its the way of the world now.
1. Why are you working with remote website files that are not part of your domain and not in your local site? This is a bad practice to get in the habit of. If their website shuts down, so does the functionality of yours. Many here will argue that point.
- This is a valid point I've come across before and reading up on it I found it was said that the site in question was on cloud servers, mirrored etc. The link I posted was from someone elses post who was having a similar problem. I personally use the flowplay/jquery main link which has ALL the jquery plugins/effects so whatever is used on that page works.
http://cdn.jquerytools.org/1.1.2/full/jquery.tools.min.js
We did this as it seemed that was what everyone was doing, it seems I am wrong and I take on board your comments about downloading the file.
2. "Sometimes". That is the key word in your statement. Sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn't. What happens when it says "Sometimes not on server" and what happens in the other times. What's different? It's usually hard to believe it's random luck. But developers in a bug report need to know these things. What's different about the file(s)? Is it with certain file(s), type(s), etc? How would it open another FTP connection, do you have multiple FTP locations defined within one site definition?
I probably used the wrong word in 'sometimes' - A better description would be "some of the related files". When live view is on the right and code on the left, related files across the top. If I hover my mouse over the files, it tells me where they are. This info is incorrect on 'some' of the files, not all of them but about 8 out of 10.
It shows the file as being in the folder of another account in the site defs, but its not in there, it's in the one I'm working on (and which is live in the ftp file window). So if I click on the file to view it, it says its not available, and asks if I want to download it from the server. That doesn't work because it then tries to switch the ftp connection to the other site and download.
I thought it was muddled so I removed all the ftp sites and set up just one, the one I was working on. But that didn't work... it then thinks the related files are in "unnamed site 1" - anywhere but looking in its own folder or on its own ftp server!
4. You seem to be referring to Question #1 here so that is answered.
"Please fix this flaw asap or supply me with a fix." - So you are saying Please fix this flaw with a patch or give me the patch. Again, this sounds like you want to file a bug report and not create a support request.
- Accepted, you are right, its a bug report, just they directed me to the developer website and I kept ending up here, so began to believe this is where I should be posting.
"All design companies such as us use jquery". - While I wouldn't be so quick to say all, but rather most, I would say see my answer to #1. Why make your site dependent on someone else's?
- Accepted, I appreciate your honest comments and critism and fot taking the time to reply :-)
