Tables in Dreamweaver or only CSS? Some tables OK?

The last time I used DW to build a site it was 2004 and it
was tables, tables, tables. Now I'm getting up to speed with DW CS3
and my techie internet marketing brother tells me "NO tables now-
it's all about the CSS!" So I'm learning CSS, and the lynda H.O.T.
training Dreamweaver basics tutorial starts showing me how to build
my site--with tables!
How do tables figure in your sites- out or in? Thanks!

I use tables for tabular data. I sometimes use tables for
forms, sometimes
not, depending on the layout. I might use a single, simple
table where I
need a small multi-column construct within a div (Maybe I
want to break a
long list into 2-3 columns to save vertical space).
Generally, I find layouts far easier and more flexible using
CSS-P with divs
as my primary container, once you get used to it, that is.
There is a
learning curve but I think it's well worth it.
What's important is to actually understand CSS, not just be
familiar with
the code. You have to understand how changing even a single
declaration will
affect other page elements. Sometimes trial & error is
your best learning
tool. Start with simple stuff and progress from there.
BTW I use TopStyle Pro for all my CSS editing. DW's CSS
editing has
(apparently) improved a lot in recent versions but I still
prefer TS.

Word 2010 - Extra Space Around Checkbox Content Controls - only on some computers

I am experiencing a problem with Word 2010 adding extra above/below spacing on content control checkboxes, but only on some of our computers. We have a template we use that is the same file for our network. On some of the computers in our office however,
we get extra spacing what can not be removed.
I am at a lose to fix this and have been trying for about 3 weeks. The settings are the same on all the computers. The user can switch to another computer and the form will open correctly, but if they move back to their workstation and try to reopen it there
the double spacing returns - again only for the checkbox content controls.
Attached are two images - Correct formatting, and then what happens on some of the computers. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Extra Space Added on Some Comptuers Image - https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BzORWKV0f6tjOU8wYXp0d1ZZVDA/view?usp=sharing

Some issues worth noting:
1. Word uses information returned by the active printer driver to manage a document's layout. This can result in line spacing, text-wrapping, and so on varying from one PC to the next - or even on the same PC when switching to a printer that uses a different
driver.
2. Differences in font versions (or the use of a font that is available on one PC and not another) can result in line spacing, text-wrapping, and so on varying from one PC to the next.
3. Differences in Word version (or even update state) may result in line spacing, text-wrapping, and so on varying from one PC to the next.
4. Your document that displays the extra spacing has Word's formatting display switched on - even that can change the appearance if the document contains hidden content.
5. Various Word options can also affect line spacing, text-wrapping, and so on. These include having Word configured to 'optimize character positioning for layout rather than readability', 'scale content for A4 or 8.5x11" paper sizes' and, perhaps,
the use of draft print quality.
Obviously, there are multiple possibilities to work through, ensuring all PCs & printer configurations are the same. That said, your use of tables allows you the option of setting the row heights to 'exact' measurements, so they won't expand as they
evidently now can. You can also try setting the paragraph line spacings and before/after spacings to precise numbers of points, for example, so they don't auto-adjust.

The Essential Guide to Dreamweaver CS3 with CSS, Ajax, and PHP by David Powers

The Essential Guide to Dreamweaver CS3 with CSS, Ajax, and
PHP by David Powers:
Would this book help me learn about Spry and Ajax and how
applications can be made with them, if I my e-commerce site runs on
a compiled C code shopping cart (ShopSite) but supports PHP
server-side scripts or is it only for shopping carts based on PHP
itself (like X-Cart)?
I am not sure. Someone please let me know so I can purchase
this book. Thanks.

You don't need any prior knowledge of Ajax or PHP, but you do
need to
know the basics of HTML and CSS. As I say in the
introduction, "You
don't need to be an expert, but you do need to have an
inquiring mind.
It doesn't teach the basics of web design, nor does it
attempt to list
every single feature in Dreamweaver CS3. There are plenty of
other books
to fill that gap. However, by working through this book,
you'll gain an
in-depth knowledge of the most important features of
Dreamweaver."

The book provides detailed coverage of the Spry 1.4 features
in
Dreamweaver CS3, which can be applied to any site. With minor
adaptation, you can also use Spry 1.6. It's important to
realize,
though, that the Spry/Ajax features in Dreamweaver CS3 do
*not* cover
asynchronous requests to the server. The ability to
communicate
asynchronously with the server was added in Spry 1.6. If it's
asynchronous server calls and responses that you're after,
your
programmer will need to dig around in the Spry 1.6
documentation on the
Adobe Labs site, and hand-code it.
The Spry features covered in the book are Spry Effects, Spry
UI widgets
(menu, accordion, tabbed panels, and collapsible panels),
Spry
Validation Widgets, and Spry XML Data Sets.

Yes. All the Spry techniques can be used on any web page. It
doesn't
need to be a PHP one.

Dreamweaver to be CSS-based by default?

Does anyone know if Adobe plans on having a new version of
Dreamweaver to be CSS based by default. I heard the new Web
Expression by Microsoft is to be totally CSS design.

The person who wrote that had not only no understanding of
CSS but also none
of DW. So far, I have found nothing in EW regarding CSS that
cannot also be
done just as easily in DW.

Seeking: Drop Down Menu Tutorial for DreamWeaver CC (Pure CSS)

Hey all.
I'm relatively new to Dreamweaver, and web design in general. I took on a project to create a small-business website for my buddy.
I'll start by saying that I've googled, and have found several copy / paste solutions, as well as several plugin-style solutions. For various reasons, I'm not interested in other methods of creating a menu (jQuery). Project 7, before you post (like you seem to do in EVERY thread I've read about this topic...), I may purchase your tool later, but I want to learn the process first.
I'd like to know if anyone knows of a video or a walkthrough of how to create a CSS-only drop down menu for DreamWeaver CC. An in-depth tutorial will help me better understand CSS and HTML in general, as well as help me navigate the changes in DreamWeaver (namely, the CSS designer).
Any ideas?

Spy menu only showing some items and properties not available

I am having some issues with the spy menu. In order to try and fix my issues I built the menu from scratch again on one of my pages. Everything works now on that page and when I upload it to the server, it is all there.
However, when I then copy and paste the menu to all the other pages and upload the the server, the submenu doen't show anymore. When I go and troubleshoot it and highlight the menu in its entirety and click properties, no properties will show. On the working page, this ation delievers me a properties bar where I can + or - menu items. Why is this? As this must be why the submenu is not showing either?
The page where everything works is this (See sub menu under coaching clinics) http://www.golifecoaching.com.au/go-beyond-registration-test but on every other page on this website, this submenu disappears.
Can anyone help? I am tearing my hair out and don't fancy having to build the menu from scratch for every page. There has to be a better way.
I use CS4 and this is my menu;
   <div id="navigation">
    
    <ul id="MenuBar2" class="MenuBarHorizontal">
      <li><a href="index.html">Home</a>        </li>

That is brilliant, that is exactly it! Thank you sooooo much for your suggestion. I am so relieved.
Yes a template would be best, but I am not sure how to do that, so I am left with doubling my work evertime I make a change on this site.
Thanks Jen

Subject: Spy menu only showing some items and properties not available
Disclaimer: I am new to coding in general and this is my first attempt to help someone.
I think the properties bar with the + - has to do with the javascript coding that is generated when you create a new tag, and it is located near the bottom of the page just before the closing body tag.
looks something like this:
<script type="text/javascript">
var MenuBar2 = new Spry.Widget.MenuBar("MenuBar2", );
</script>
so dont forget to copy that over too. Also, check the CSS that is associated within each page and make sure they are all in the same style.
P.S. Have you considered using a template for the menu bar so you dont have to copy it over each time?

I can only see some of the info (e.g. the email Facebook gives you) for some friends in Contacts. I can see everything for others. Their b-days aren't listed in my Contacts (but these friends have their B-days on their profile on FB). Can anyone help?

Hello,
I can only see some of the information of my Facebook friends in my Contacts. For example, a friend has a birthday today. I received an email that she and another friend have birthdays this week. I received a notification on my iPhone and iPad that her birthday was today. It was never displayed in my Notification Center or Calendar beforhand, like it's displayed for other friend's (for other friends, it's displayed in the Notification Center, with the Calendar icon, 1 day before). I looked at every setting I could think of and the Help pages on Facebook. Nothing is working. My friend with the birthday today has her birthday openly listed on her Profile information on her Facebook page. In my contacts, her Facebook email (the one Facebook assigns you when you join) is listed. However her picture and birthday are not listed. I displayed my Facebook Contacts only, and roughly 20 showed up and not the rest. It's like the devices are not recognizing those people and putting their information in the respective places. I have an iPad 3rd Gen, iPhone 5, and MacBook Pro (purchased in January 2013. I hope that helps) and ALL the software updates are current. Can anyone help? Also, my MacBook cannot access my Contacts from Yahoo. Despite my typing in the correct password repeatedly as well as deleting and adding the Yahoo account again. I'd be grateful for any and all help. Thank you.

Step by step, how did you arrive at seeing this agreement?

My 2nd gen ipod touch will only sync some of the music selected. How do I get to synch all the music I have selected from i-mac with itunes 11

My ipod touch will only sync some of the music selected. It only wants to sync the newest music and will not sync previous music even though some of these songs were previously on the ipod touch.   I am connecting to a imac with itunes 11.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:

You can re-download your apps and ibooks purchases via your purchase history in iTunes on your computer (assuming that it's version 10.3+), and if you are in the USA then you can also re-download music I think - more info here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
For music that you ripped from CDs or bought from a source other than iTunes then, assuming that you made/maintained one, you can copy them from your backup - and backups are relatively easy to maintain, so there is no reason not to have one (especially as content is occasionally removed from iTunes so isn't always available for re-download). Otherwise there may be third-party programs that can copy them off the iPad, but you can't do it via iTunes - this post from a year ago was about iPod/iPhone to computer utilities but some might work with the iPad : https://discussions.apple.com/message/11646661?messageID=11646661&#11646661 .
If you've got content in other apps that you want to copy back to your computer then you might be able to do via the file sharing section at the bottom of the iPad's apps tab in iTunes, or they might have wifi transfer capability.

You seem to have tried everything, and you say it's syncing fine on your Dad's iMac, so I assume, you have also done a Disk Diagnostic from an earlier post by tt2 and conclude that your iPod Hardisk is good.
You don't have to use it as a heavy paperweight, the problem is only using your Windows 7 machine for syncing.
In your troubleshooting steps, did you try to use another High-Speed USB 2.0 port, USB controller resource are very scarce, so if you use other USB devices, while syncing your iPod, it may just freeze.
Windows have a bad reputation for device conflict, so better don't connect other USB devices, while syncing, better sync it while disconnected from Internet, stop antivirus just before you go to bed.
Have a nice day!

Copying files to my MBA Early 2011, 10.6.7 changes their 'date modified' to the current date. It happens only to some of the files copied. Any idea what my be causing it. Never had this problem before, on othe macs I have owned.

Copying files to my new MBA (early 2011) running 10.6.7 results in their 'modification date' to change to the current date. Any idea what may be causing it. It happens only to some of the files (there is no pattern to it.). I have not seen it previously in many other macs I have owned.

Hi all
I am bumping this thread again because I can't believe that I am the only one experiencing this issue. At times it is costing me hours repeatedly copying files until eventually the date doesn't show as modified.
I thought I had cracked it earlier by changing the Sharing & Permissions settings, and applying to enclosed items the ability for Everyone, Me and Staff fo have Read & Write permissions - but that doesn't seemed to have changed much.
Copying in smaller batches helps sometimes, but then other times it makes no odds, and the Date Modified date shows as the original date for a few seconds, only to change to today's date. Driving me nuts because there is no pattern to it.
Files which I have copied and show their original modified date, when moved to a subfolder, then have their date changed to today!!! Copying other files into the folder results in files that were previously OK having their Date Modified changed!
Am I on the only one?
