Spry Tutorial problem, DW CS3

I am trying to step through the "Using the Spry framework for
Ajax" provided with the CS3 Tutorial DVD and when I launch the page
in IE7 (Vista box, running Xampp testing server) I keep getting
this error;
"Exception caught while loading events.xml: [object Error]".
When I view the file in Firefox 2.0.015, Opera 9.51 and
Safari 3.1.2 all is working properly.
I have seen the thread in this forum suggesting to select
"local/network" for the Access of the Testing Server category in
the Manage Dreamweaver sites dialog; but nothing has changed. IE7
still produces the error.
Frustrated (since the highest percentage of browsers viewing
web pages are still IE )
I don't have any URLs or code to publish or link to, since I
am just using the tutorial files downloaded from Adobe.
Can anyone offer any insight to this issue?
Thanks,

That says this:
"If Internet Explorer 7 is your primary browser, you'll nee
to take some extra steps to view spry dynamic content locally.
First,
your site must be within the local server webroot; be sure
your Lessons folder is stored within the Inetpub>wwwroot folder.
Next,
double-click the site name in the files panel to open the

How to manage spry menus in DW cs3

Hi
I have build one spry menu in DW cs3 and I sort of got the hang of it so I decide to build another one on another site in the same root folder and that's where I run in to all kinds of problems
I have build the menu the way I like it but is not working properly I have saved the SSS in txt in case it comes useful later
I haven't bean able to find this answer question in any tutorial
The question I have is
1 how to keep the two SpyAsset folders separate and do I have to? and if I have to, how to do that.
2 by building a new menu and saving it where does it get saved and sure I care?
Thank you.... Mike

Right now I have all 6 sites in one root folder does this mean I have to separate all?
Yes. Go to Site > Manage Sites > New...
I currently maintain about 10 web sites, each separately defined and in their own site root folder.
make a duplicate SpryAssets folder where do I get it from
DW will create a SpryAssets folder for you when you insert a spry menu into that site.

Dreamweaver Vertical Spry Menu Problem in IE7

I just finished setting up a vertical, 3-level spry menu in
Dreamweaver CS3, and when I preview it in IE7, several pixels have
been added in between the buttons, which spreads the menu out and
looks terrible. The problem disappears after I clear the ActiveX
warning, and it doesn't occur in FF. Could someone please tell me
how to fix this??

Epson Printing Problem with CS3

My Epson Stylus Pro 9600 has a problem with CS3 printing. When printing large images (i.e. 36x60) a portion of the image would be missing at the bottom (blank) The 10.01 update addressed this issue but it seems not completely. The problem was attributed to using a "Custom" print resolution however I still have this problem and after much testing I have narrowed it down to the "Finest Detail" check box under the custom, advanced tab. Checking this "Finest Detail" check box reproduces the problem.
I'm not sure where the problem lies whether it be Photoshops new stripped down print code or Epsons drivers. For the mean time I will keep this feature de-selected. Hope this helps other frustrated Epson Owners.
Vista 32, dual quad xeon 2.33
Photoshop CS 3.3 Extended (Masters Collection)
Epson Stylus Pro 9600, Drivers ver 5.52, current printer bios

Adobe blamed Epson drivers for not anticipating CS3's changes. Like they're clairvoyant or something. Their reason was that it was too hard to take into account every printer on the market when writing the new (unasked for) CS3 printing module. A feeble excuse when it comes to Epson pro machinery, though - it is the industry standard, after all.
Solution? - use CS2 for printing, authored back when Adobe wrote its software to be compatible with existing equipment and drivers, not expecting the world to fall into line with whatever it decided it would do. CS2 works flawlessly with my 7800, CS3 remains a basket case for the same reasons you mention, though checking/unchecking the fine detail box makes no difference. CS3 is erratic - sometimes it works as directed, but then out of nowhere it will suddenly decide to attenuate a pano print.
We'll see if they get it right with CS4's "improved" printing, but don't hold your breath.

How to Install Spry 1.6 for CS3 on Mac?

Hi,
Does anyone have clear cut instructions about how to do this? It is clear that new functionality is not installed with the Spry updater. I want to install the new 1.6 functionality.
Thanks,
Andrew

Go to
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/
click on : Get the Spry Updater for Dreamweaver CS3/CS4 now
Pick the CS3 updater, install it the extension. Double click on the file, or open it using the Extension Manager.
Reboot / Start Dreamweaver, and your done.

Has anyone had a problem with CS3 crashing after downloading OS 10.8.1 on a imac?

Has anyone had a problem with CS3 crashing after downloading OS 10.8.1 on a imac?

Peggy
You are probably correct. I tried all different variations to test it. As long as I quit each document separately, i.e., red dot it, I seem to bring up only one document after that whether I click on the document itself or open it within pages. The same is true with numbers.
Two more questions:
1) can you turn off the "resume" feature? If so, how? I could not find a way to do it.
2) why the "save a version" feature in pages? What happened to the old "save" and "save as" features?
Thanks so much, you saved me a lot of frustration but I am still going to install MS Office for Mac.

Spry Accordian in Dreamweaver CS3

I am using Spry Widgets in Dreamweaver CS3. However,
everytime I insert the spry accordion - it doesn't work right if
too much text is in one of the tabs. For Example: I have 3 tabs in
the Accordion. Everything works well as it should if there is just
a little text without a scroll bar. However, when there is a scroll
bar in the Accordion - it doesn't work right. The panels do not
minimize, all the panels are open. When I click on one panel, it
doesn't do what is is suppose to.
Did I do something wrong here? I don't think I did.

Without seeing your page (code) I am guesing what your
peoblem is, but try this.
Check you have the SpryAssets folder and js content correctly
referenced between page and external folder. Check that your js
script, which should be the last script tag set before the closing
body tag is in place on the page containing the accordion.
Also, you can change the accordion panel behavior to a
flexible height, which contains all content, and removes the
vertical scroll bar. You need to edit the CSS and add a new
property to the accordion object when it is initialized. Find the
.AccordionPanelContent CSS class and delete the height property;
change the overflow property to hidden.
Next tell the Accordion object to use flexible height by
going to the bottom of the page and finding the code that has
(something like: var Accordion1 =
Spry.Widget.Accordion("Accordion1"); in the code. Add
useFixedPanelHeights:False to the constructor function so it looks
like this:
var Accordion1 = Spry.Widget.Accordion("Accordion1",
{useFixedPanelHeights:False} );
That should remove the scroll bars.

Spry menu problem - CS6 Dreamweaver

I wonder if anyone can help me with my spry menu problem which I have with a fixed 960px wide horizonal menu bar that has 8 items in it. The sub-menus don't seem to display properly when you click on them in that some of the submenus only show up at the end of the menu bar itself in Explorer browsers 8/9. Does anyone know of any code I can apply to fix this problem? I am new to spry menu features and so any help would be very much appreciated.

Also validate the rest of the code in your pages to see if you have any critical errors that need fixing. For example, a missing doc type declaration might explain Spry failures.
CSS - http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/
HTML - http://validator.w3.org/
As an FYI, Adobe abandonded the Spry Framework late last year, after CS6 was released because Spry drop-menus don't hold up well on touch screen devices. If you can't get satisfaction with Spry, try jQuery Superfish. It's a better menu system.

Problem installing CS3, being asked for CS4 disc

Hi,
I'm having problem reinstalling CS3, during the installation I'm being asked to insert CS4 disc. All I want is to reinstall CS3.
Also, the liks to download CS3 products don't work.
Anybody can help me with this? Thanks!

Karniak which operating system are you using? I would recommend removing any current installations for Adobe Creative products on your computer. Once removed please use the CC Cleaner tool to insure complete removal. You can find more information on the use of the CC Cleaner tool at Use the CC Cleaner Tool to solve installation problems | CC, CS3-CS6 - http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs5-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html.
Once you have used the CC Cleaner Tool please reinstall CS3. If you need a fresh copy of the installation files then you can download them from http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-suite/kb/cs3-product-downloads.html. Is this the same location you were attempting to download from previously?

Installation Problems - DW CS3

Hi all
I have tried to install DW Cs3 on my wintel box, I have
removed DW8 from the system, cleaned any registry entries and
common files in c:\ common files folder, deleted any refs to dw 8
from docs settings applications etc etc etc before attempting an
install, it can install all the adobe crap i don't want to have on
my system, but can't choose not to install, but no dw components
install, i have tried this reinstall many times with no
firewall/virus checkers enabled every thing you could imagine I
have tried
Can someone point me in the right direction to get it
happening?
Cheers Ron

I've had my own problems with CS3, but nothing like this. Are
you
installing from the DVD media? Try removing everyting and
then download the
trial and install that (it will be void of all the other
stuff you don't
want anyway). The Trial is actually the same as what comes on
the DVD. You
still need to provide your CD-Key to make it a full version.

Probleme mit CS3 nach Windows updates

Hallo,
Mein CS3 war registriert und lief sauber. Nach dem in den letzten Tagen zig Updates von Widows kamen und installiert wurden, will CS3 eine neue Registrierung.
Aber wenn man online erneut registrieren klickt, passiert nichts.
Im meinem Account bin ich angemeldet.
Was tun, weiß jemand Rat?
Beerchen

Danke für die Antwort.
So ganz genau kann ich es nicht nachvollziehen. Aber nachdem ich das Programm
mit dem Task-Manager geschlossen habe, anders wollte es nicht.
Und das Programm neu geöffnet habe hat es wieder funktioniert. Möglicherweise
war mein PC ein wenig Durcheinander durch die 40 updates, obwohl ich mehrere
Neustarts gemacht hatte.
Vielen Dank für die Hilfe.
Ich hätte aber noch ein 2. Problem.
Mein Haupt-PC, ich habe 2, hat seinen Geist aufgegeben und ich würde gerne diese
verlohrene Lizenz für mein Laptop nehmen, habe aber keine Ahnung wie.
Wissen Sie wie ich die Lizenz deaktivieren kann und für mein Labtop aktivieren?
Danke und schöne Feiertage,
Dotthy

Spry Menu problem with using a transparent background image

Hi- I'm new to CS5 and Dreamweaver. I just finished the beginning webpage tutorial and I have started to work on a personal project. The Problem: when I use a transparent png image as a backgroun-image for my spry menu it shows up fine in live view, but doesn't work in browser view (safari), in fact the menu reverts to it's original grey and blue boredom. Does anyone have a solution for me? Does this mean it will be grey and blue when it goes live? Thanks, Ruth333333

Spry submenu problem in IE7

Hi everyone,
I am having a problem with Dreamweaver CS3 where the spry
horizontal menu's submenus shift over to the right and level with
the bar rather than dropping down as a submenu should. This only
happens in IE7 however, not in Firefox or any other browser I have
tried. The website is
http://www.daytonlifepurpose.org/homePage.html
I tried the spry 1.5 js file "fix" but had no luck. Any help
at all would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
