YUI and Dreamweaver CS4

I'm considering upgrading to CS4. Is the new version able to
render a page based on Yahoo's YUI? According to a post last year
on the YUI javascript group, CS3's Design View rendering was based
on Opera 9 but it didn't support all of Opera's css rendering
ability. So Design View was pretty much useless if you used YUI.
I'd like to know if CS4 has improved support for rendering css.
For the YUI post, see -

thanks,
Dan

Dreamweaver's design view is not and has not been based upon
Opera. It is a custom rendering engine. It may have had some of the
rendering specifics in common with Opera, or other browsers such as
IE, but it is not based specifically upon any individual rendering
engine. For what I can tell the Opera rendering engine that seems
to be used within Device Central to display mobile content:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/DeviceCentral/2.0_UsingDeviceCentral/WS92CC362A-4B06-4e83-BB4B -C6B5BA379CA7.html
The last few releases of Dreamweaver have had a strong focus
on CSS, including CS4, so the rendering of CSS is improved
somewhat, but I do not know specifically what impact that may have
had on rendering of YUI grids CSS.
A side note: Dreamweaver CS4 introduced a new view called
"Live View" that uses WebKit (the rendering engine that powers
Safari). In that view you'll see your content through WebKit
rendering engine so JavaScript and CSS will be rendered a bit more
closely to what you'll see in a browser. But as always, nothing
beats viewing your pages within the browsers that you are worried
about as they are all different and updated on different
frequencies.

In dreamweaver mx 2004 and dreamweaver cs4, how I configure, when download/upload do not ask me to include DEPENDED FILES but act without including ?

in dreamweaver mx 2004 and dreamweaver cs4, how I configure, when download/upload do not ask me to include DEPENDED FILES but act without including ?

Open the Preferences panel (Edit menu on Windows, Dreamweaver menu on a Mac), and select the Site category. There are two checkboxes there for dependent files. Make sure both are selected. The Dreamweaver default is NOT to upload/download dependent files. You need to click Yes, if you want the dependent files to be included.

Unable to Uninstall Photoshop CS4 and Dreamweaver CS4

it's been a couple of days since i tried out Photoshop CS4 and Dreamweaver CS4 to see how they compare to the CS3 versions, it worked fine and all till suddenly it stopped working, so i been trying to uninstall/reinstall to get it working under the free trial limit i still have left (27 days as of this writing) it still will not work.
Sometimes i would install Photoshop/Dreamweaver and say an error occurred and some components were unable to install and would be unable to load the file even after doing what the instructions say...
Same goes for when i try to uninstall both Photoshop/Dreamweaver, i would try to uninstall and would still remain in my program files...
I am completely stumped on what to do, i can't even re-install photoshop/dreamweaver cs3 as well due to this...
I am running on Vista 32bit SP1 Pack on HP Pavilion, i want to completely get rid of CS4 versions and go back to my reliable CS3 again, any help please would be greatly appreciated.

John... if you read what I said you would of caught that i did do it:
"did what was suggested, worked like a charm for the CS3 and Dreamweaver CS4 but although it did work on Photoshop CS4. it did something i was dumbfounded to see, it did something odd in which it took out the Uninstall/Change tab option for removing programs (I was viewing it to see if it uninstalled completely) also it brought out a bunch of programs that weren't in that section before and was unable to uninstall/remove them.
So i had to do a system restore point to go back and try again. After doing it two more times (ya two!) still doesn't work, i am 7 hours into trying to resolve this... sigh. "
At that time i said i had done it 2 times, 3 in total, i am on try #6 all with the same results with the exact after effects once i restart my PC.
Here's what it does to tell what goes on:
1) after installing microsoft's cleaner then opening up the cs4 cleaner under admin, it does its thing, it asks me if i wish to remove Flash Player 10 after choosing remove Photoshop CS4, now here i done both remove Flash Player and not remove it with the same results, losing the uninstall/change option on the control panel, which frustrates me.
2) After seeing that i try to install Photoshop CS4 again, once its done, i open it up, try to go to the trial option where as i stated previously says there's an error and can't open the trial page which would open up Photoshop completely but since it can't i cannot go beyond that window.
3) So ya... i try ONCE again to do it all over after restarting and SAMETHING! no uninstall/change option appearing and unable to open up Photoshop CS4 in which i resort to doing a system restore again and trying once more.
NOW, one would think that after the first 3 times it should be working properly, i mean I thought it would after removing both Photoshop CS3 and Dreamweaver CS4 it's bound to do the same for Photoshop CS4, but it doesn't completely create a "FREASH" install. It's like it still remembers what messed up functions it still had and what's up with it removing the uninstall/change option? that just bogles my mind.
i tried many things, re-downloading the trial from adobe, etc i never would of thought just one program could cost me so much wasted time just to get it working and it's a free trial nonetheless so excuse me John Joslin if your remark kind of bugs me, I need some assistance/advice on trying to correct this problem, not a
"It should have done!
Run it a few times. "
comment that's already common knowledge for me in what I have already been doing long before your post.

Adobe acrobat 8 won't install with Indesign and Dreamweaver CS4

I have a client who I had to build a new computer for which is Windows XP Pro. On her original machine I had AA8, InDesign CS4, DreamWeaver CS4, Contribute CS5, Adobe Reader 9.3 and Adobe Photoshop 6. I have tried puting AA8 on the new machine that has all of the above on it and I get a response that I have a newer version of AA and it won't install. I don't have any AA on this machine so I'm not sure what to do. She says she can't edit PDFs or combine them and that she can't create a PDF ind Word and Xcel and edit them. Should I tell her to upgrade to AA9 so that it is compatible to the CS4/5 products?
Thanks,
Lgarn

Thank you Bill for replying.
I have been able to install the disc but it tells me that I have to activate it with a time limit of 30 days and counting. Activation fails each time I've tried. As I'm nearing the end of the time limit I decided to contact Adobe for advice. They gave me a download package and new serial number but it's only suitable for OS XP and Windows 2000 so I'm unable to download it. I was told by the advisor if I still had problems to use the forum as a means of support so that's why I'm talking to people here.
I have uninstalled Adobe Acrobate Pro 7, so I might try reinstalling the disc to see if it gives me another 30 days grace, that, at least, would be a way around it.
I'll now follow the link you've given me. Though I do suspect I'm in a bit of a cul de sac.

Problems with flv and dreamweaver cs4

Hi
out of flash cs3 I generated a flv
with adobe media player all is ok I could see the flv
but when I import the flv into dreamweaver cs4 I get the picture below that means there is no flv
http://s7.directupload.net/...841/tskdqo9d_png.htm
I did this tutorial with the same result
www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/articles/flv_tutorial.html
what is that - what am I doing wrong ???

A picture of a ... a ... video game? ... advert means there is no flv?
How about posting the URL to your actual page rather than what ever that directupload.net image was supposed to be? It will help us to help you.
Meanwhile, I will make a simple guess based upon many similar questions.
Did you remember to upload the Scripts folder?

Adobe download manager and Dreamweaver CS4

Hi everyone,
I'm new to Adobe and new to web site design and development.
I'm in the process of trying out Dreamweaver CS4 but during the free trial download, I'm contantly asked to download/buy Adobe download manager.
Do I need to have this application even when I buy the boxed retail full version?
Any help/advice much appreciated.
Thanks.
Marilyn

You don't need Adobe Download manager. The service it provides is useful if you have a slow connection that is likely to drop the connection mid download. Download manager resumes the download where it left off so "theoretically" you don't have to start over. This is not 100% reliable however, but gives you a better shot at it. If you have a good stable connection you don't really need it, and of course if you buy the boxed version you don't need it at all.

BC and Dreamweaver CS4 template file extensions

I'm building a site suing BC extension for Dreamweaver CS4, but I can't get the templates to work. If I create them in Dreamweaver with the .dwt file extension, BC doesn't recognise them when they are uploaded. If I create them in BC control panel, they get a .html file extension and Dreamweaver doesn't recognise them. This means the local files in Dreamweaver don't recognise my CSS and everything needs to be built in the BC control panel, which is painfully slow. Very frustrating. What am I doing wrong? Please tell me I don't have to add my CSS to the BC CSS!

Hi Brad. Did that at first, but the templates didn't show up in BC. I've just altered a .dwt template in Dreamweaver and uploaded it to BC, but it didn't overwrite the one that's already there.

How do I fix lost connection between Photoshop and Dreamweaver CS4?

How do I fix the lost connection in Photoshop CS4 to Dreamweaver? When I save for web and devices, Photoshop doesn't save for web but instead saves to the original file in Photoshop. The image doesn't show up in Dreamweaver's image gallery at all. Do I remove both from my hard drive and reload both? I don't want to loose anything in Dreamweaver or Photoshop.

Not sure exactly what you are asking since I am still a student learning Dreamweaver so I can only describe what is happening in non-technical terms. I have set up files in Photoshop CS4 for images that I plan to use in Dreamweaver as a gallery of thumbs that enlarge using the Behavior panel. I did this with over 100 images, first creating the correct size in Photoshop, then going to Save for Web and Devices, saving, and the image would then show up in my images list in Dreamweaver.
Now, when I save for Web and Devices, save, it doesn't show up in Dreamweaver. Instead, it saves it back into my original Photoshop file with hyphens between each word.
I have Windows XP Professional, Adobe Creative Suite CS4.
I don't know how this glitch happened, I did nothing different and have used the process successfully already over and over. I read as much as I could understand on the Adobe website and apparently glitches do happen but I don't understand how to resolve this. Do I uninstall both Photoshop and Dreamweaver, and reinstall both?
I very much appreciate assistance!

Is this possible with Spry menu and Dreamweaver cs4?

I just starting to learn DreamWeaver cs4 and Spry, I am building a website that has a flash banner, menu bar(which is using the Spry Menu Bar, and a area for content. I have set up the content area with a DIV tag content_column. Now, I would like to have the link from the menu bar, populate the "content_column" with a external web page. I know that I can use the _parent, _blank, etc. setting for the target which just opens that link into a new browser page or replaces my current page, but I would like that link to open in the "content_column" part of my web site. The reason why I want this to happen, is so that the whole page, including the banner doesnt have to load ever single time the user click on a differnt menu option. These external pages will have different elements in them suchs as text, images, and .swf files.
Thanks in advance,
Gregg

Gregg,WELCOME!!! To the Dreamweaver Spry Forum! I see it is your first post...
Instead of using frames (of any kind) to show "other" web pages within your present page, try out the Spry Tabbed Panels widget.
I think it will do what you want. I've used it quite a bit, in various incarnations, and it is quite satisfactory in not redrawing the page every time you strike a tab.
Here's a link to some Spry simulations: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/spry_simulations.html

Export to F4V and Dreamweaver CS4

I've learned that if I rename the extension of an FV4 file (H.264) created with PPro to ".FLV" I'm then able to place it on a Webpage using Dreamweaver CS4. Dreamweaver will not recognize FV4 otherwise. Any reason that this is a really bad idea (seems to be the workaround recommended in Web articles)?
I also noticed that the F4V Export presets default to an aspect ratio that did not match my D3s '640x424' original. So I just manually set the output to a 3:2 shape (300x200) and that seems to have worked fine. Otherwise I ended up with black bars on the top/bottom. Here too... is this an appropriate way to deal with this?
I really do feel like one of those bothersome students who just won't stop asking questions :-)
Thank you!
Russell

There's also TextStitch (free) and TextExporter (so cheap it's almost free) from Rorohiko. These tools are pretty useful, but for some layouts "manually connect all stories into logical order to export a single RTF" is still a mandatory part of our workflow. There are many kinds of document (trifold brochure, overdesigned poster) that can't be automagically connected into a single story in logical order. However, if you don't deal with layouts like that, or if you don't care that your trifold brochure exports are not in the order in which they'd be read, then you'd have a lot less manual threading to do - perhaps none at all.

Issue with font dreamweaver cs4

Hi,
i have a powerbook with tiger and dreamweaver 8, and also i have a mbp with leopard and dreamweaver cs4.
My issue is with font rendition .. i mean, i setup both system a software with the same parameters, code view in Dreamweaver with Monaco at 8pt, and in Look (System preferences) disable antialiasing for font smaller than 8pt. The issue is the with configuration the code appears in two different ways. With powerbook the view is fine, instead on mbp the font is like with antialising and it appears out of focus.. why does it happen?
The only different thing is the screen resolution 1440x960 against 1400x900..
Do you have any suggestion? Or code font to suggest..
Many thanks

On the MBPro, open FontBook, select the font, then from the Menu Bar, click File/Validate Font and see if that helps.

Dreamweaver CS4 and Web Widgets

Hey All,
I wanted to let you know that the new version of Dreamweaver
is now available.
We rounded out the form validation widget support in this
version and we now support HTML data sets. We have also added some
stater pages for Spry pages: Master/Detail pages and other common
page layouts.
Some of you here were asking about widgets from other
frameworks that you saw mentioned in the public beta.
We are also announcing web widgets for Dreamweaver. These are
widgets that other developers have packaged for use in Dreamweaver.
You can see the first batch now at
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/exchange/index.cfm?s=5&from=1&o=desc&cat=290&l=-1&event=produ ctHome&exc=3
Phatfusion and mootools is first to go up, with YUI and
jQuery widgets to follow very soon.
How did they make these widget extensions?
They used the just released web widget Packager:
http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/Dreamweaver_Widget_Packager
This takes a XML file that the developer makes that describes
the widget. They feed that into the Packager and it automatically
creates the extension. It's pretty slick.
Check them out!
Thanks,
Donald Booth

just checked out today, Dreamweaver CS4 still use Spry
1.6.1....
so where we can find updated "form validation widget" and
"HTML data sets"? is it available in Spry 1.6.1 zip package? or it
only available on DW CS4?
I think you misunderstand the message. Those
widgets are newly add to the Dreamweaver panels (dataset wizzard
now allowes you to choose HTML data sets and XML data sets) and the
validation widgets can be found in the insert panel.
The widgets are not new, they just have been add to
Dreamweaver.

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"

Dreamweaver CS4 and Coldfusion 8 - help on configuration

Hi Guys,
I'm not a Coldfusion user and I cant find anything from the support docs. I hope you can shed some light on my issue. I really need some help on this.
Here's my set up:
Dreamweaver CS4/CS3 installed on a Win XP Pro SP2 machine
Coldfusion 8 installed on Windows 2003 server (http://[servername]:8500). IIS is also running on the server.(http://[servername])(Testing Server)
Coldfusion 8 is located in C:\Coldfusion
wwwroot = C:\ColdFusion8\wwwroot
Coldfusion is on Trial mode right now. Installed as a self-contained server (first radio button in installation)
Built in webserver was selected also during the installation
RDS Password enabled
Issue:
When I define a site in Dreamweaver CS4/CS3, I cannot connect to the Coldfusion part of the testing server.
I tried both Local/Network and FTP but I can't connect.
Here's the sample information the i put in the site definition of Dreamweaver under the Advanced Tab.
1st example:
Category: Testing Server
Access: FTP
FTP Host: [servername]:8500
Host Directory: /test
username: [username]
password: [password]
URL Prefix: http://servername:8500/test
** I tried checking and unchecking the checkboxes under password
Error: FTP Error Occured
2nd example:
Category: Testing Server
Access: Local/Network
Testing Server Folder: [servername]:8500\test
URL Prefix: http://servername:8500/test
Here's the interesting part on this setup. When I go to the Basic tab to test the connection for the testing server, I get this message, "[servername]:8500\temp.html contains an invalid path". After I hit OK, "The URL Prefix test was successful." message appears
My Questions:
what's wrong with my setup? Is my prefix correct?
what else do i need to configure?
is Coldfusion conflicting with the IIS on my server? Should I configure Coldfusion to work with IIS rather than setting it up as a built in webserver?
What questions do I need to ask? XD
I hope someone can help me on this or guide me to the right path. I can access the files when type http://servername:8500 on the browser though.
Help please? Thanks in advance!
-dis

Port 8500 is the port the built in web server is listing to to respond to client requests. To view ColdFusion code on the server you would put http://servername:8500/myCFMLfile.cfm in a browser.
To have your Dreamweaver help you write these files you just need to tell it how you want to connect to servername.
For FTP you would need FTP enabled on servername and be able to FTP to c:\ColdFusion8\wwwroot\ on servername. Then you would set up something like this in Dreamweaver
FTP HOST: servername
Host Directory: ???
(depends on what your FTP root is for the FTP server on servername and how it relates to c:\ColdFusion8\wwwroot\
username: ...
password: ...
URL Prefix: http://servername:8500/
(What you would put into the URL of a browser.)
For Local/Network you just write the file to the c:\ColdFusion8\wwwroot\ directory on servername. This assumes that this directory is shared and available to users over the network. Which it probably is by the little known drive hidden share default on most windows systems.
Access: local/network
Testing Server Folder: \\servername\c$\ColdFusion8\wwwroot\
(Or other UNC path to the desired network folder)
URL Prefix: http://servername:8500/
(Still what you put into the URL of a browser)
