Template page and CSS dialog box.

Basically, this is an issue/bug for me. I had something working on Dreamweaver CS6 (CS3, 4 and 5 also... oh and Macromedia Dreamweaver 8 too) that doesn't work in Dreamweaver CC.
Please, consider that an answer like "it's the new way that it should run now" will not be accepted (and will NOT solve the problem).
Case : page based on a template. Somewhen I want to edit a css-selector: I highlight it and press the button "modify CSS rule" in the properties panel.
All I obtain is a dialog box "this is part of the code which is protected because it's based on a template". Then nada. Of course, the css-selector I want
to edit is located in a external file. And of course the part of the code that <link> to the files is protected as part of the template.
So I'm pretty ok with the message warning me. I had the same with DW CS6. BUT after warning me, DW CS6 (and previous) provides the panel. Which makes sense,
because the file itself is in no way protected as a part ot the template. And it seems pretty dumb not to be able to edit a css because you use a template-based page.
I just want DW CC to do the same as previous versions. Period.
Hope this will be patched soon. Cause it's a bug.

The thing which is going on is a bug.
So far, that's where we disagree. I don't see any evidence it's a bug since the behavior you are describing is not consistent with my experience. For example -
This child page -
<!doctype html>
<html><!-- InstanceBegin template="/Templates/test-externalcss.dwt" codeOutsideHTMLIsLocked="false" -->
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<!-- InstanceBeginEditable name="doctitle" -->
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<!-- InstanceEndEditable -->
<link href="_css/child.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
<!-- InstanceBeginEditable name="head" -->
<!-- InstanceEndEditable -->
</head>
<body>
<!-- InstanceBeginEditable name="EditRegion1" -->
<p id="foo">Content</p>
<!-- InstanceEndEditable -->
<p id="bar">More content</p>
</body>
<!-- InstanceEnd --></html>
Is linked to an external stylesheet just as you describe -
@charset "utf-8";
p {
          color: #0000FF;
#foo {
          background-color:#DDD;
#bar {
          font-style:italic;
In the child page, I click in the ID foo and I see it appear in the Targeted Rule field of the Property inspector. I click the button for Edit Rule, and change the font size to 18px. There is no prompt at all, even though the link to the external stylesheet is in a non-editable region of the template, and the stylesheet is changed according to my edit. So what am I doing wrong?

    That would be the password for your FTP server. You can only get this from your web hosting company. You should contact your web hosting company and ask them for your FTP Publishing details.
    Then select your web site name at the top of the list of web pages in iWeb. You'll see input fieldd for your FTP details. Enter what you get from your web hosting provider in those fields.

  • Any way to see ICONS in Open and Close Dialog boxes?

    Is there any way to see ICONS in Open and Close Dialog boxes, instead of just lists of items names?
    I know you can preview one at a time, but I'd love to see all my artwork as picture icons, just as you can in a finder window.
    Windows does this, but not OSX that I know of. Is there a third party app that enables you to see icon view in the Open and Close Dialogs?

    Thank you Steve Jobs. I guess that feature has been added in Leopard. Now there really is nothing that I'll miss from Windoze.

  • Open and Save dialog boxes are sorted reverse alpahbetically by default

    I have a user that experiences the same frustrating experience every time she restarts Apple Mail. All of her open and save dialog boxes in Mail are sorted from Z to A. She can click the name field to change the sort, but it will return to Z-A if she quits and reopens the program. The Finder is set (and stays) at A-Z. Other applications do not exhibit this problem. I am loathe to reset the preferences since that means having to set up accounts again. Restarting the computer and removing user caches made no difference. Any suggestions?  This is an iMac Mid 2008 running Mac OS X 10.6.8.

    I solved my own question through trial and error.
    Just select "None" on the dropdown selector (see screen capture, above) and the Open/Save dialog will revert to the older version.

  • CS5 slow to get the 'open' and 'save' dialog box over networked computer.

    I have been having this problem since the suite was installed, but recently has gotten much slower. Any time I click open or save it takes 8-10 seconds just for the dialog box to come up.  CS1 was lightening fast - I know that was ages ago, but I can't help compare the two.  I have the same problem with InDesign and Illustrator. The suite is running on a Windows 7 machine through a home network, accessing files from an XP machine as well as a Buffalo Linkstation.  Once the dialog box comes up, and I double click, the file is pretty quick to appear.  I have researched online and I believe the problem to be somewhere in the network or the settings.  The network is quick, Windows Explorer has no delay in opening or finding files, nor do other programs outside of Creative Suite. I did an experiment to narrow down the problem - I closed Photoshop, unplugged the network cable, and reopened the program.  AMAZING - it was SO FAST to open the dialog box for both opening and saving files!  I then closed Photoshop again, plugged the network cable back in, and opened Photoshop.  It was back to the slow opening of the dialog box.  Everything else in the programs runs fine - no delay when performing operations in any of the Creative Suite - it has to do with the network and how CS is looking for the files.  Can anyone help me, I am so frustrated - this is adding unnecessary time to everything I do and I dread opening and saving any files!!

    Once again - thank you!
    We used to have a network storage device attached to our home network, but it crashed and we replaced it with another model.  A while back I had added it as an item to display in the places bar.  When we removed it from the network, the link on the left side disapeared, so I forgot all about it.  When I read your posting it jogged my memory.  I searched the subject to remember how I had made the change and found this posting from Adobe Community: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/795196 (its in #6).  I found the original storage device in the places bar, removed it and replaced it with the new device.  I opened Photoshop and Acrobat and both open and save dialog boxes appear as they should - the problem has been resolved!  THANK YOU!

  • Open and Save Dialog Box Font Size

    Greetings. Does anyone know how to change the font and icon sizes in Open and Save Dialog boxes in OSX 10.8? Back in Snow Leopard days, the parameters were stored in the users .GlobalPreferences.plist. But they do not appear to be there - or at least I don't recognize them in OSX 10.8. I recently started using a 27 inch Cinema Display, and the fonts are a bit small for me.
    I appreciate any help anyone can offer.

    Good question!  Do submit feedback to Apple.  Maybe if enough of us complain about this fundamental issue, they'll finally listen!

  • Open and save dialog boxes just show earlier and can't be sorted

    Mountail Lion has new open and save dialog boxes that are displayed in groupings by date and other variables.
    My Photoshop CS5 shows "Previous 7 days", "Earlier", etc. I can no longer adjust this sorting. Often, just the "Earlier" shows and current files are missing from the box. I used the sorting option but can't sort within the list.
    My inDesign files still use the earlier open and save dialog box. Where can I switch between these options?
    Photoshop Open:
    inDesign Open:

    I solved my own question through trial and error.
    Just select "None" on the dropdown selector (see screen capture, above) and the Open/Save dialog will revert to the older version.

  • KB2909210 on Server 2008 R2 breaks my intranet sites and print dialog box

    Let's try this again.  I have been asking the following question of Microsoft and every time I do, I have only been told to try another forum.
    I have several intranet sites that my users use for various data entry and querying purposes.  I installed Internet Explorer 10 onto my 2008 R2 Terminal Server over this past weekend (10/18/2014) which also installed the Security Update KB2909210
    and rebooted the server.  On Monday morning (10/20/2014), when my terminal users logged into the sites, the sites began malfunctioning.  All the dropdown arrows turned into question marks.  Some fields which normally have a small "x"
    on the right-hand side used to erase the data entered in the text field were also displaying as question marks.  The objects still functioned but it was disconcerting to my users.  The update also slowed down these same intranet sites to where it
    began interfering with productivity.  I activated Compatibility View for all intranet sites, but it did not resolve the problem.
    I also found that when my terminal users tried to print a pdf document from the intranet sites, the print dialog box was jumbled and no fields were pre-populated with data like they always are when printing.  I updated to the latest Adobe Reader, but
    the print dialog box remained jumbled. 
    All of my users with stand-alone PCs have IE 10 installed and the intranet sites work fine.  The sites display properly and process quickly, and the print dialog box is not jumbled.  It is only my terminal users who log in from a thin client
    to their profiles on the server and use the IE version installed on the server who have the problem with IE10.  The KB2909210 Update is not installed on, and does not come up as, an update for any of my stand-alone Windows 7 PCs.
    I uninstalled IE 10 from my server, but since this was one of my production servers, I could not restart it until after the plant was shut down for the evening forcing my users to suffer with the slowness for the day.  This morning (10/21/2014) the
    intranet sites are working fine through IE 9.  I also had to revert back to Adobe Reader v9.5 as the v11 (and v10) print dialog box does not display properly in IE 9.
    I do not want to stay on IE 9 on my server as IE9 gets more un-secure by the day and we've found IE 11, on any of our machines, to be too buggy.
    How can I install IE 10 with its security updates and prevent it from breaking my intranet sites and print dialog box?  What is so different about Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7 that IE 10 causes this corruption of intranet sites and the print dialog
    box on the Server but not on the Win 7 machines?
    The bulletin here:
    https://technet.microsoft.com/library/security/ms14-011
    is useless for determining why it breaks my intranet sites. Nor does it explain why the update destroys the print dialog box.

    Hi,
    In my opinion, it's hard to say your problem caused by KB2909210. Have you tried to uninstall this update for test if your intrant site's problem resolved?
    If your problem truthfuly caused by this updates, you can choose to hid the update as a workaround method.

  • Set location of print and export dialog boxes?

    Is there any way to set the location of the print and export dialog boxes in the viewer?
    To say, have the dialog box show up in the top left corner instead of in the middle of the document?

    There's no easy way to customize that for the viewer.
    Some people make the toolbar invisible and write their own controls.

  • Find and Replace dialog box issue

    When I am in split mode, I get the Find and Replace dialog
    box up "Edit -> Find and Replace..." When I run a "Find and
    Replace" clicking the "Find All" the dialog box disapears and I
    have the Results checked in the Windows menu. When I go down to the
    little green arrow to bring back my dialog box - the Find and
    Replace text areas are clear and I have to re-paste the items into
    it to do the "Replace All" - this is much more time consuming. Why
    does my Find and Replace dialog box disapear and why does it lose
    the last "Find All" texts?

    This is CS6, but I assume CC is the same or similar:

  • After I rt click and hit "save image/page as" the dialog box doesn't open.

    When I try to copy an image or a web page I get no dialog box that opens after I right click and select "save image/page as". The option to send link works.

    Sorry, here the information that is required:
    Version 11.0.4.2 - CS6
    Installed recent updates: Yes

    Model: HP Z420 Workstation
    Processor: Intel Xeon CPU E5-1620 @3.60Ghz
    Ram: 8Gb
    Has it worked before: yes. It started after I opened a project (trough "open project") because double clicking on this project gives the follwoing error: "The directory name is invalid". Via "Open project" I could open it.
    Do you have any third-party I/O hardware (e.g., AJA, Matrox, Blackmagic, MOTU)? No
    Quicktime 7 pro installed
    Do you have any third-party effects or codecs installed? Yes, Optical Flares & Trapcode. But is unrelated since it isn't a specific project.
    Are you using Render Multiple Frames Simultaneously multiprocessing? Yes
    Are you using the ray-traced 3D renderer? No

  • My "Open" and "Save" dialog boxes in Logic Pro...

    Hi,
    Wondering if you've have had this issue. My Open / Save as well as any Import dialog boxes in Logic Pro have oddly spaced columns. I resize them accordingly (I prefer Column view BTW), get them looking right by holding the "Option" key while resizing to have all columns the same width...you know, the same procedure you'd use in the finder.
    Anyway, each time a dialog box appears my "Sidebar" column along the left-hand side is like 5 inches wide, and each column to the right of that is very narrow despite my setting it up the way I'd like it to look during the previous Open/Save/Import.
    Is there a preference for this that I'm missing?
    Thanks in advance for any help.
    -dave
    P.S. I'm running Logic Pro 9.1.5 in 64bit mode (32bit mode also exhibits the same behavior).  I'm running OSX Lion, 10.7.2

    I posted a similar post regarding this observation.  It appears that only you and I are the only ones getting this behavior from Logic and Lion.  In all honesty, I don't think anybody cares or no one installed Lion for use with Logic yet.  In either case, it has been widely ignored.
    I too tried resizing, but get the same result every time.  Its not just open and save windows, its the same with all windows.  This gets especially annoying when ad    ding samples to EXS24.  Some people have different work arounds for adding samples to most things, such as the browser side window.  Regardless of any workaround, nothing solves the remaining window space problem.  This window bug is something that should not exist within Logic.  It makes Logic look like freeware.
    For many, Logic Pro X might be the ultimatum.  It might be time to jump ship.

  • Preview and Open dialog box on initial start of program?

    Okay, I understand that it might be beneficial when starting Preview that an open dialog box also pops up.  However, I find it VERY annoying that it does it when I double click on a PDF and Preview goes through it's initial startup.  It NEVER did this before...am I missing some setting?
    I know it may seem like a small annoyance but, for some reason, it really bugs me.

    Thanks.  I guess I wasn't very effective with my search phrases before posting.
    It did solve the annoyance but definitely seems like a bug to me.  I will post in feedback to Apple since opening a pdf in preview and then automatically opening an open dialog box has no value.  It also shouldn't be linked to Documents and Data in icloud being checked or not.

  • HT6065 Fixing file display speed in save and open dialog boxes

    Has anyone else had issues with the speed at which a folder's contents are listed in a save dialog box? I will select a folder when saving a file and it will take 10-12 seconds of the spinning cog before it displays the list of files. Folder contents inside of that display their contents when clicked on right away but the first level selected is always very slow. It was fine in OS 10.8. I did a clean install of OS 10.9.

  • Save and Open Dialog Boxes

    Hi,
    Newbie
    I have been programing in VB.NET for around 18 months and know that there is an object in the environment that adds an open and a save dialog box onto a form as well as ones for other dialog boxes for other jobs.
    However i was wondering if anyone could tell me if there is a set dialog box for opening files and saving files that can be imported into a java application or if you have to design one yourself.
    Thanks in advance
    Dave

    You're asking about Java, right? There's JFileChooser which is probably what you are asking about. Note that it is just like the VB one in that it doesn't actually open or save a file, it just allows you to choose the name of the file to be opened or saved.
