Unable to edit page source in CS3
For some reason I am unable to edit page source in an
external application in CS3. I can't figure out why I used to be
able to, and now i can't. please adviseIf you want to open the source code in an editor of your choice you can change two hidden settings.
Type '''about:config''' into the location bar. Accept the warning message that pops up, this brings up a lot of settings. You then need to change 2 of the settings that appear, for details on the 2 settings see [http://kb.mozillazine.org/View_source.editor.external view_source.editor.external] and [http://kb.mozillazine.org/View_source.editor.path View_source.editor.path]
You can also change those 2 settings by using an add-on such as [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/394/ Dafizilla ViewSourceWith] -

This is in JSK... Have created a page (simple) - "Home" in Admin UI with a Page Definition.
When I try to view the page in Contributor UI (target is to view and then edit), WCS is throwing an exception - It looks like the issue is due to something wrong in metadata but not sure about exact reason.

Hi,
I have a particular department in my company who cannot edit
their pages as it say they are currently being edited by anyother
user. In the past when this has occured I have searched the web
server for .lck files and deleted them and this resolves the issue.
However, in this case, there are no .lck files so I have no
idea what to do.
Any ideas?

Definately there should be a .LCK file. Say your page is on
the url
http://servername/directory/page.htm,
in the same page browse to
http://servername/directory/page.htm.LCK.
You need to remove this or
just edit it and remove the contents of it and save it.
I guess, deleting the .LCK file still re-creates it on the
fly. So try
to edit the .LCK file and remove the contents of it and try.
Later you may want to Create a Copy of the Current page and
delete this
page which is being locked out. -
Blank page shown after clicking "Edit Page" in Contribute CS3
I set up a site in Dreamweaver CS3 and am trying to configure Contribute to enable users to edit the content. After setting up the site in Contribute, I browse to any page, click the "Edit Page" button and all I see is the background color of the web page and a large blinking cursor in the upper left corner of the screen; the content of the page is nowehere to be found. I have attached an image showing what I see after I click "Edit Page".
The site navigates and renders just fine inside of Contribute, but I am unable to Edit pages.
Is this an issue that someone has seen before? Is there perhaps something in the HTML that is preventing the page from being rendered correctly in Edit mode?
Thanks,
BrianI discovered the problem with the site.
In the template there was an EditableRegion defined around the <body> opening tag:
<!-- TemplateBeginEditable name="bodyID" -->
<body id="research">
<!-- TemplateEndEditable -->
Once I replaced this with a TemplateParam for the id attribute of the body tag everything worked just fine.
Thank you,

Editing pages created using dreamweaver with microsoft's visual studio express
Here's a quick, somewhat vague, question for anyone who might have an answer. Is there a trick to editing pages created using dreamweaver with Microsoft Visual Studio Express? The reason I ask is I recently finished a web site for my first client who now wants to make edits herself using the program she uses, that being Microsoft. I thought it would be as easy as pulling the html files from the server (or the usb flash drive i gave her), making changes and then putting them back to the server, but apparently she is having some problems. I'm meeting with her soon. I have no experience with any other programs, other than Adobe, so I don't know how much good I'll be in helping her. Maybe it's an easy question, maybe not. Any info appreciated. Thanks!

Dreamweaver template commands are all wrapped in HTML comments, so they
shouldn't cause any problems. They should simply be treated as comments.
However, the concept of editable and locked regions will be ignored.
Hi David, I meant the templates with the dwt extension, not the html files that are created from them. The full version of VS will recognize the dwt extension as 'Dynamic Web Template' but as this is a microsoft extension it does not recognize the code for editing and shows a large number of errors, (before anyone comments the dwt file extension is used by a number of other programs, all referring to a different file type).

I recently upgraded to Firefox 4 on my 3 yr old Macbook, though I am unsure if this is in fact connected. Now I am often unable to edit information I have typed into a search bar or text box (such as this one) even after reloading that page or pressing first the back, then the forward buttons. Has anyone else run into this, and does anyone know what is going on?
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.<br />
See [[Basic Troubleshooting#Make_a_new_profile|Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile]]
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)
See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox -
Editing Pages Designed in Webstudio 5.0 with Dreamweaver CS5.5
Most of our website was recently redone by an outside party using Webstudio 5.0. When I open the pages in Dreamweaver the bottom portion is solid blue which makes it difficult to edit. The majority of the items are text objects or images. I am doing a good deal of the editing in the code side, but it is more time consuming. They pages do for the most part appear correctly on the Web. I am not extremely savvy with web design. I have recently upgraded from Dreamweaver 8 to CS5.5.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
PennyPenny,
I can't see your screenshot from DW. Attached files don't come through to the web forum. You would need to come to the web forum and insert an image into your reply with the camera icon.
Looking at the source code, it's clear that whoever built this didn't know a hill o' beans about modern web standards which is very disappointing. On your home page, you have a lot of code validation errors. Some are not critical, but code errors are never a good thing.
http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ruidoso-nm.gov%2F
The navigation is image based. Not very web friendly for translators, screen readers and search engines that can't "see text" in images.
Owing to the liberal use of inline styles and absolute positioning, the whole page falls apart when text size is increased in browsers. See my screenshot from Firefox.
I'm very sorry you got burned by an inexperienced web designer. Sadly, there is no quick fix for this without re-building the site.
Feel free to contact me through my web site when you're ready.

How to unlock Frames in Dreamweaver so I can edit pages in Contribute
I use Contribute to update content.
Recently my designer added google-ads in frames using Dreamweaver.
Now my Contribute is not allowing me to edit pages where google-ads was added.
It says the frames are locked and shows the lock icon.
The designer who did the work in Dreamweaver says everything is unlocked in Dreamweaver.
What do we need to do:
1. unlock the frames in Dreamweaver so I can edit the pages in Contribute
2.does the google-ad code need to be put in on each page rather than as a Frame?

Unable to edit a publishing page
Hi,
I have created a new page from the 'Gear' Add a Page option in a SharePoint 2013 publishing site. When I go to Edit page option, I don't see the ribbon with options to insert webpart, etc. Instead, I am presented with just filling out the page
metadata. Please help.
Shonilchi..Hi Shonilchi,
When we click the "Add a Page" from up-right "Gear" icon, it will create a wiki page, but it sitll could be inserted with "Insert" tab from ribbon.
Could you provide a screenshot for your issue?
Did this happen to all the pages, or only pages created by "Add a Page" from gear?
Please check if the IE with compatibility mode could fix the issue, and also check if other type browsers Chrome, Firefox, etc. could work.
Thanks

I am a complete novice to Dreamweaver so please bear with me.
I am trying to edit some pages (.php files) for my employer. I was
able to edit the index.php file but none of the others. All of the
html code is greyed out except certain areas and unfortunately, the
part I need to change is greyed out. I am completely unable to edit
any of the greyed areas. I've looked all over to see if there's a
way to unlock the code but I can't see anything. Does anyone have
any suggestions?If you do not have the associated Template file, it *MAY* be
a trivial
matter to recreate it. We would need to see the code on the
page to know
whether that's possible, though.

Hi,
I downloaded an html file from our server to edit the logo. However, I am unable to edit the logo part. It's like commented out. And once I opened the file on Dreamweaver CS5, I am getting this pop-up message:
"This page contains some SWF objects that may not work properly in the most recent versions of Internet Explorer. Dreamweaver cannot convert them to the new SWF markups. Please delete each of them and insert again."
I can't edit the html file and change the logo. Please help.
Thank you and God bless!
DannieDannie,
Are you familiar with dreamweaver templates and editable regions? If the logo is in the template, then you need to modify the template file. The changes you make to the template will automatically be propogated to all of the files which use the template. If your html file uses a template, the html code will look like its commented out.
Also, you should not have to download the html fiile from your server because you should always keep a copy of all the html files on your computer.
I don't know about the SWF error.
Good luck.

Hi all, please help a newbie!!
I have recently started working for a charity which had a
Dreamweaver website. I have Contribute 3 for editing purposes, but
I can't change a lot of things and it doesn't make any sense.
Unfortunately the company that produced the website for us in the
first plave has gone bust, so I have no access to any help from
them. I have checked that I have full administration rights.
The main problems are:-
1. The pages are set in 2 column format, which I don't want,
but I am unable to change this
2. I can change font style/colour/alignment etc etc on the
home page of the site, but on all the others this is not possible
and I am only offered a choice of 6 pre-set styles which are awful
3. When I edit a page in Contribute it appears correctly, but
when I upload it to the site the text and images are misaligned (I
am making sure that I am using the correct file types for images).
I therefore have to keep editing the page and shifting things about
and then publishing it until I get everything to line up correctly
on the site.
4. One of the pages says that I am unable to edit because
another user is already editing. This user is a member of staff
that left over 2 years ago.
Sorry if some of this may seem basic, but I have done
tutorials and read books, and I can't see any reason why I
shouldn't be able to do all the above with full administration
rights. I've been thrown in at the deep end here!
Here's the website, in case that helps www.findavoice.org.uk
Thanks in advance
Liz :o)Hi,
First of all Contribute is limited and in many cases you won't be able to change styles, colors, etc.
We have a similar case here and the two column format is on our stylesheet and cannot be changed.
Depending on how much control and how the styles were set up you may also see styles displayed differently. Usually the styles displayed are the only ones allowed to be used on that specific page. Doesn't mean something is missing. You can contact the Administrator to confirm whether the styles are correct for the pages you mentioned but I've never seen a mistake on setting the styles up.
As I mentioned above Contribute is limited. You are working without looking at the codes. If something is not being displayed correctly users cannot do anything but they should communicate the problem to the designer so he/she can fix in Dreaweaver.
This employee had probably left a draft without publishing. The fastest way is contacting the Contribute Administrator and ask to unlock the page. This can only be done within Dreamweaver. This will probably delete the "new content draft" but since you mentioned he left two years ago the content is definitely old.
Again remember that Contribute won't give 100% power and sometimes designers have to finish the users' work. Keep in mind rights to edit the web site are given according to the needs and is up to designer or the Web Team to change layout. I am just mentioning this because you told that you don't want the two column format but this was probably created and decided by the Web designer to fit the needs of the company. I myself administer many users and every day I have someone asking to change some styles. Unless affects functionality none of the styles are changed.
There's always a chance for you to get something changed if you can have some input to the web site since it's a charity you may have great chances to get what you need.
