Spell Check Dreamweaver cs4

For spell check in CS4 besides "shift F7", is there a way to setup so that spell checks while I am typing ?
TIA
Carl,

That's a bummer...
I was thinking of switching to Dreamweaver because it's Live View and limited excess tagging.
I"m rethinking that now... 
I work in numerous systems that require web based editing of text (Drupal for one).  These web based editors are a pain when it comes to spell checking!  I type fast and some of my fingers are actually faster than others.  My typical typo is a word that has all the correct letters, but with a couple letters mixed (for example, I might have an 'i' before a 't' instead of after).
I've come to rely on Word helping me to deal with this idiosyncrasy by underlining the misspellings as I've gotten used to for most other editing environments that operate locally on my PC.  I'm going to have to re-think that process now...  I may just stick with Web Expressions which is better about extraneous tags than Front Page was, but doesn't display the Drupal templates as I'd prefer.
I agree that DW should have the in-line spell check - it would not require any additional HTML in the code, would help the developer significantly and is basically a check-list item for most other editing environments where text is a key form of communication!
I understand there is a spell checker that can be done in batch mode - that's great.  However, most of the environments where I do my editing (including many, but not all web pages through some Google add-ins) on both Mac and Windows systems have in-line spell checking...

  • Spell Check All Pages in Dreamweaver CS4

    With a new converted web site of over 150 pages I need to spell check the pages.
    Is there any extension or method to spell check all of the pages at once?
    Thanks

    Unfortunately, you can’t do it.  As I have noted before, Adobe should be ashamed of itself that I have to import my entire site into FrontPage 98 in order to get an effective spell-check.  I get laughed at for using FrontPage, but it's a far better program, sadly.

  • Dreamweaver CS6 crashing on spell check of whole document, Windows 8.1

    After using Dreamweaver CS6 happily for quite a while, it is now crashing regularly when I try to spell check more than a very short section.
    I recently updated from Windows 8 to Windows 8.1 and was prompted to update Dreamweaver afterwards, which I did.
    The Windows log file shows that it is MSVCR100.dll that is the faulting module.

    I used the command prompt window to check for file validity, sfc /scannow but it did not find any problems at all.
    What can I do now??

    That seems to have worked. But I did not find files with the names you suggested.
    I did find an article while searching for DW Cache that gave paths for a lot of different versions of Windows and of Dreamweaver, http://www.dmxzone.com/go/16740/clearing-dreamweaver-s-cache/
    Using that I was able to select WinfileCache and delete it. On restarting Dreamweaver CS6, spell check seems to be working,
    Thanks so much for the suggestion.
    Now if I can just remember it the next time something messes up! :-)

  • Why a simple php syntax checker extension doesn't exist yet for Dreamweaver CS4 ?

    Hello,
    my request is in the subject ;-)
    I remember a very useful extension in Golive CS8/9 that did exactly that :
    Duplicate from DW the currently edited php/html page to a temp file
    Send the temp file to the command line : "/path/to/php -l /path/to/temp/file"
    Display the command output ("syntax ok" or "error on line ##") directly INSIDE dreamweaver
    It required only that an apache/php package was installed on the developer's computer (using whater Xampp, or Wamp, etc.)
    Though you might say to me that I should use a PHP IDE wich is dedicated specifically to that goal, I wonder why a such extension does not exist... as it is a great time saver when rapid syntax checking is required before uploading...
    I may be wrong but i can't find anything close to that via google / adobe studio exchange search results...
    Should I start to learn the dreamweaver CS4 API extension documention or someone can give me a hint to achieve that ?
    Thanks everyone.

    Hi M.Zografski
    I have tried to clear that cache the only thing I keep running into is that the file that is listed doesn't even match the way my dreamweaver loaded onto my computer. I get up to the point of the Adobe file then my next one is shown as Adobe Dreamweaver CS4- I choose this and then there is no file in there showing the language at all. I have a file listed as %AppData% and if I choose this one then it shows Thinstall file and this opens into Adobe AIR- then this has some registry files and another fold as %drive_C% which opens to Adobe then to Dreamweaver then to en_US then Configuration which does contain a file RDSINFO and it appears to be empty. This seems very round about to getting to the cache file and I was unsure of whether or not this was what I was indeed looking for.  Also if I try to search for this WinFileCache with that file name I get no results.
    Why is this being so stubborn. I am thinking if I could locate the file then it would all go well
    Thanks

  • Internal link checking with Dreamweaver CS4

    I currently have 3 root directory index pages: index.html, index.htm, and default.htm
    My host is GoDaddy and the page that resolves for http://www.amenta.com/ is the default.htm page.  So, I would like to get rid of the other two, neither of which is cached by Google, in order to avoid any future canonicalization issues.
    When I go to delete index.htm and index.html in the Dreamweaver CS4 Files window, I am alerted that there are many internal pages linking to them.
    How can I pull up a list of all of these pages?
    Also, when I try to run a "Change links sitewide" function and I enter "Change all links to : /index.html" "Into links to : /" I am prompted that "no links to /index.html found".  But when I try to delete this file, I am shown the first several of 186 such files.
    Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated...Thanks!

    Thanks again John.  DW indicates that there are 185 files linking to index.html when I attempt to delete it through the Files Window.  Here is the display:
    However, each of these 6 files link to / and not /index.html and I can not figure out how to pull up a list of the rest of the files beyond what this alert message shows.
    When I attempt to delete index.htm through the DW Files Window, I am alerted about just one file linking to it.
    Perhaps DW is programmed to consider /index.html as the default for any link to / but on my host, the default page seems to be default.htm which is why I want to get rid of index.html and index.htm to avoid any duplicate content or canonicalization issues.
    But before I delete index.html, I want to be sure that I am not creating a bunch of broken links when I do so.
    And, when I try to run the following "Change Link Sitewide" command...:
    ...I am prompted that no such links exist:
    Thanks again for your looking into this with me.  If nothing else, I will just go ahead and delete both index.html and index.htm and then do a check for broken internal links.

  • Dreamweaver CS4 Start in Code View

    How do I set Dreamweaver CS4 to start in Code View? Everytime I open a new file, it appears in Design View. I want to set Code View as my default. How do I do that?

    That behavior is weird. I wonder why CS4 is so restrictive then. Seemed MX was more forgiving.
    As for me, I use DW for its power in -- local development (Code View), FTP-ing, powerful search and replace across entire site, colorized view of my PHP/CSS/JavaScript syntax/HTML/etc., spell checking, code validation, source control with check-out, and a couple other minor features. I have never ever used design view or split view as I am a developer and not a "good" graphics and layout guy. I borrow and/or outsource that stuff to pro's.
    So I push everything up to my Linux/Apache server and test view in FF and MSIE browsers from the web server. I develop on a Windows machine.
    I guess I never trusted nor even understood the DW browser. What is it actually (rhetorical - no response necessary)?
    If there was one feature that DW could implement that I believe would make it the cadillac tool of the century would be a "click here to view your page in:" and then have the page be able to properly display in the latest 3 versions of the Win-Firefox, Win-IE, Win-Opera, Mac-Safari, Mac-IE, Mac-FF and any other top/widely used browser. I know there are some web sites out there that translate a page into these views, but a tool/feature like that would make a developer's world truly heaven. Of yeah, what would the site also look like at selected screen resolution sizes and with and without JavaScript being turned on. Hmm, bet that tool would cost me a mint.
    Hey, have a great day John and good luck with your DW!

  • Can't see Remote data in Dreamweaver CS4

    I have a site that I have had for years and recently changed from a real old version of Dreamweaver to Dreamweaver CS4.  I had trouble getting my FTP to work so I used an external program to move the files.  The files have been uploaded and the site is active on the Internet so I know there are there.
    When I use Dreamweaver, the only thing I can see is the "/" that represents the root folder.  All the site definitions say that it can connect to my server, it just does not show the files.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks, Fred

    Hi,
    here I'll quote a hint from Nancy O. for DW applications:
    Try toggling Passive and/or Secure FTP on/off.
    Your web host might have changed upload requirements to improve security.
    Another thing to check is your Anti-virus and Firewall settings. If they are too restrictive, DW may not have permission to connect to the remote server.

  • 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...

  • Flash error in dreamweaver CS4

    So, I am trying to integrate about 10 or so pics in a flash
    format on my site. So whenever anyone opens the site, different
    pics flash in a loop. I tried doing this by going to Insert -->
    Media --> SWF. And then a little flash icon pops up where I want
    the image. Then I got into tag inspector (on the right column)
    --> Behaviors --> preload images and using the "+" sign, add
    all the images I want. But when I click the "Play" icon (in
    properties at the bottom), I get the following error "Unable to
    find the plugin that handles this media type. Dreamweaver looks in
    both the "Configuration/Plugins" folder and the plugins folder for
    each of your installed browsers".
    I am not sure what this message means. I checked my adobe
    flash version and its updated. Any help would be greatly
    appreciated! Also, is this the only way to upload flash images or
    is there any other?
    Thanks!

    I am using Vista so file locations are different. Still, I cannot find any preferences folder or configuration folder that I can rename to recreate. There is no "CreamWeaver" folder in the user profile - even in the hidden parts.
    Anyone have any other ideas?
    Rename the folder to Configuration_old and launch Dreamweaver.  It should create a new Configuration folder with the factory defaults.
    On Vista, it's located at C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Dreamweaver CS4\en_US\Configuration.
    It's a hidden folder, so you need to enable hidden folders in Windows Explorer.
    Technote: 
    Try step 4 in the following technote: - corrupt cache file:
    http://www.adobe.com/go/tn_19105
    If that doesn't work Try #12 -  deleting your personal configuration folder.
    This information is also available  in the Dreamweaver FAQ

  • I upgraded from Dreamweaver CS4 to CS6. but now "an TFP error occured - cannot make connection to host". I spent hours with the host technician and we cant find the error. I reinstalled DW4 and it connects to host perfectly. Anyone else seen this problem?

    I upgraded from Dreamweaver CS4 to CS6. but now when I want to upload I get "an TFP error occured - cannot make connection to host". I spent hours with the host technician and we cant find the error. I reinstalled DW4 and it connects to host perfectly. Anyone else seen this problem?
    Mac OS 10.8.5
    None of these issues are causing the error in DW CS6. We have double checked all of them and we have everything exactly right. Also I have exactly the same SiteSetup in DW CS4 and that works perfectly well. Could there must be factor in 6 that didn't exist in 4? Something that isnt in the SiteSetup but in some hidden dialog box ?
    I can also upload to my host using Fetch, a third party FTP. And as I said DW CS4 works fine. So the problem is not with my host, its with DW CS6 in particular.

    Thank you Jon, that fixed it perfectly. You have saved me from going crazy. The only difference I see now is in "Server Name" it changed what I had entered (my ftp address) to "Remote Server"; which seems odd -- but it works!   Although I know there maybe also some other dialog box I have never seen
    Of course I saw that menu item "Import"  and but I thought thats obviously not for me: "Why would I want to import an entire website?". I did not however see "Export the selected site" for thats only a tiny icon in the footer. However I would have thought the same:  "Why would I want to export my entire website?".
    An observation: I've seen this problem in a lot of Adobe software, the menu-names of items are  obscure, non descriptive. What would be better would be for the menu names or popups to say "Export Site Setup settings" and "Import Site Setup settings"

    Checking that setting does not really give me any option. It's default is the CSS which is where it's at now.
    But you're suggesting I set it to HTML?
    Thanks again.
    If you go to the Modify->Page Properties, click on Title/Encoding.  That is where the doctype is set.  The DTD should be set to anything, right now browsers have to render in quirks mode because there is nothing.
    Are you updating this whole thing manually strictly in DW?  I'm not sure of your hosting situation, but have you considered the pre-built solutions like a Wordpress?  Through out all the issues of designing/writing HTML and use an online based tool and editor like is built into that?

  • 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.

  • Dreamweaver CS4- I can't get my site to display the proper image.

    I have a Dreamweaver CS4 Template with an editable area for a header image. I have already assigned a new image to all the header regions but when I moved the site to the web host the pages will only display the Default header image from the template in the editable region, even though when I check the file name in the Modify Templates window it displays the proper name, but displays the wrong image.

    thanks.

    Did you upload the new header image?
