A legally blind woman is suing several online retailers claiming their websites violate the Americans with Disabilities Act.      April Foster was served a federal lawsuit in May. It claims her 'arts and crafts website' doesn’t provide equal access to its products, particularly for those who are blind and depend on web assistive software that takes text and turns it into audio.  Foster says she settled the lawsuit out of court for $7,500. But after attorney fees, she says it cost her around $20,000.  Unfortunately, she's not the only one.  In 2023, over 4,600 other such lawsuits were filed in the U.S., many by the same people.   As a web developer, I've been preaching the importance of conforming to WCAG for a decade. In the government sector, it's required by law. But since there are no standardized exams for web developers, the private sector is largely self-regulated until someone gets sued.   Q: How can web developers and small business o

A web devolper made some php pages for me. Only thing, in DW don't see the main image at the top of the page, I only see text.  Also warning that on server.  I'm used to html for years. What is this?  Thanks

Hey,I have an issue with my FTP. When I try to connect to folder with accent (I'm French, and I have to do with what's already done, I can't change it) I have an error (translated from FR):"An FTP error has occurred - unable to obtain folder information from server.Access denied. The file does not exist or an authorization problem has occurred.Check that you have the appropriate authorizations on the server, and that it is correctly configured." Also, in the preview, I have a "?" replacing my accent. But when I check the logs, that's working properly. Any tips? Thanks!

Hello Dreamweaver ForumI have recently run into a small but annoying problem within dreamweaver. When move files to a new folder within dreamweaver, dreamweaver has begun to scan all files in the site first, before actually updating (the links within the document) the files when moving them. It takes about 3 minutes to run through the scanning all files process and then finally the files are updated. Previously whenever I moved files to new folders it just updated them immediately, without the need to scan the entire site.I have tried to google the issue but have found no solutions on the internet or youtube.Help appreciated, thankyou. Peter

Hi, another post regarding a new website I have built using a ThemeForest template.URL: https://kylehawkinscreative.com/ Can anyone tell me how to fix an error I'm getting with my vertical YouTube videos which throw up the following error: An error occurred. Please try again later. (Playback ID: dumNEWodUIUirvWz) I imagine it's the code as it works fine horizontally.<div class="portfolio-overlay"> <a class="popup-youtube stretched-link" href="https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Eo8vKXlR-DE"></a>

Love to know the thoughts on best practices when it comes to form securty via/PHP I tried two different versions of PHP mailers the first one is pretty secure  https://pitchlab.net/contact/index_99.htmlbut I dont like that it redirects to a different page - even if i added a target="blank" it still makes you leave the navigation..  I like the way this operates but Im not sure how secure it is to have the PHP be on the same page, including the email in the code, is it opening me up to spam?: https://pitchlab.net/contact/ thoughts?

Let's say I have a Git repository setup, called `git-repo-web`. Folder structure is as follows:device1:git-repo-web user1$ tree . ├── .git ├── .gitlab-ci.yml ├── .gitignore ├── README.md └── htdocs ├── bootstrap | └── css │ ├── bootstrap-theme.css │ ├── bootstrap-theme.min.css │ └── bootstrap.css ├── index.html ├── template-simple.html ├── template.html ├── terms.html └── whatsnew.html In Dreamweaver, my site looks like this: If I setup the Dreamweaver site at the `git-repo-web` level, it works well with my existing git repository, but when I try to view content under htdocs it does not properly display the webpages due to the way it looks for the css files. If I setup the Dreamweaver site at the `htdocs` level, the websites render perfectly, but it does not know about the existing git repo which is a level above htdocs. I would like to add my Dreamweaver site at the `git-repo-web` directory level so t

On the template for my new website, it has a smooth scroll function which when clicked on, for example 'view my protfolio' at the top moves down the page to the relevant section clicked on.   However, I am finding this way too slow but can't find in the code where to amend the delay so it scrolls quicker? It seems to sit in 'animate.min.css' but I don't see any timings there.   url: https://kylehawkinscreative.com/

When I update an image the new image that is on my AWS server is not reflected in DW Preview. Shows old image. Is there a way to clear Daw cache? Using DW CS 21.3. Thanks!!!

Hello.   My contact form on my site is not sending when I test submitting a message. I posted earlier on here and was told to check with my host provided.

Can anyone recommend a comprehensive and up-to-date tutorial series for Dreamweaver? Every one that I've found so far is out of date. Thank you for your suggestions.

I used DW many years ago and really liked the ability to create a Template with editable and repeating regions etc. I created a large website and was able to have repeating regions for the banner and footer etc which could be easily updated with the click of a button. My DW website is looking rather dated and needs a refresh. I don't know whether to stick with DW or consider alternatives. I have forgotten much of my (limited) programming skills. Can anyone tell me what other alternatives there are on the market that would allow a similar feature eg update a footer site-wide with ease like DW? I have had wordpress recommended to me but have also been told that plugins often break. I need simplicity, something suitable for a text heavy site, hundreds of pages, with a contact form, nothing else. I would also like to retain the SEO of the current site and do not know if I switched from html/css site to a wordpress ?php based site if it would affect SEO. thanks&nbsp

I have configured IIS (Windows 11 24H2) as server for a local site of mine, let's say "mysite", with the following properties:Site: mySite,Application pool: mySite (added automatically),Physical path: D:\mySite,Type: http,Host name: mySite,Port: 8080,IP: All unassigned,With those settings I can browse the site starting from the home page at http://mySite:8080/ Then, I've tried to set the site in Dreamweaver CS6 too, with the following properties:Site name: mySite,Local folder: D:\mySite,Server name: IIS,Connect using: Local/Network,Server folder: D:\mySite,web URL: http://mySite:8080/ However, when I try to test a page in Dreamweaver with "Preview in browser" feature, the browser gets the local file (file:///D:/mySite/folder/subfolder/TMP1g3szin.htm), instead of the web address (http://mySite:8080/folder/subfolder/TMP1g3szin.htm )(the temp file name is because I use the option "Preview using temporary file". I have also tried with the option disabled, and got t

I have created a website using the prettyPhoto plug in. The site works fine except for the videos, which while play fine on my desktop don't play on my mobile (android) Would anyone be able to look at the code and give an indication as to what is causing this issue? The videos are external YouTube links. My site is: https://www.kylehawkinscreative.com Thanks in advance.

This is for an HTML email blast, utilizing inline code using "brute force" that's not so brute!Outlook email client continuously renders the symbol a) not superscripted enough (not high enough) and b) too much distance to the left of the symbol creating optics that look as if there's an extra space in between the last letter used and the registration trademark symbol.<span style="font-size: smaller; display: inline-block; line-height: 0;"><sup>®</sup></span> I have tried many other attributes but nothing seems to resolve.Any recommendations?Thank you.

I created a menu upper left in css and a return to an "X" using  a checkbox class that i visual hid- but for some reason the checked class is preventing the overlay menu items from appearing  the test : https://pitchlab.net/checked_test.html and the way it should work (without "checked"): https://pitchlab.net/ not sure why that checkbox css would prevent the overlay from working 

So the title basically says it all. Dreamweaver won't open HTML files (it will oddly open php files though)I find the HTML file I want to edit, Dreamweaver successfully opens but just lands on the home screen and doesn't open the file.I try to open it again. nothing.I try to create a new file, save it and all the HTML code disappears in the editor and I am unable to edit or add anything. If I close out of dreamweaver and try to open the new file, Dreamweaver will open but not open the file.I have uninstalled and reinstalled Dreamweaver. Nothing.I went into my systems Library and deleted all my preferences. Nothing.I uninstalled and reinstalled Java. Nothing.So basically I can't use Dreamweaver to do my work and I can't figure out why. HELP!System:MacOS 10.14.5Dreamweaver 19.2

Windows 11Version 24H2OS build 26100.3194 I have a site defined.it is using a CSS Preprocessor to compile SCSS to CSSThere are 20+ SCSS files in an assets folderThese files are then compiled into one large CSS file in a separate "css/styles.css" location.I've used this feature for years with no problem.In the last two days, this has just stopped working. I can force it to compile by selecting a file and pressing F9 but even this works inconsistently with it working or not Has anyone had a problem like this or know how to work around it?

Starting several weeks ago, Dreamweaver (21.4) shows all my Mac Time Machine backups in the pulldown site menu.I can't figure out how to make Dreamweaver ignore these files.

I have a burgermenu with an overlay using toggle to activate the overlay (upper right): https://pitchlab.net/ I used JS to rotate the burgermenu on toggle... the overlay/menu slides down .but i cant get it it to rotate back to the original position on a second toggle as the overlay/menu clears my script (what I was trying is in bold):         <script>const bento_box_wrapper = document.querySelector('.bento_box_wrapper');const bento_box = document.querySelectorAll('.bento_box');bento_box_wrapper.onclick = function() {const overlayWrapper = document.querySelector('.overlayWrapper');overlayWrapper.classList.toggle('overlayWrapperSlideDown');$('.bento_box_wrapper').addClass('blur');bento_box_wrapper.style.transform = 'rotate(315deg)';$('div#toggle').addClass('blur');const mainNavLinksWrapper = document.querySelector('.mainNavLinksWrapper');mainNavLinksWrapper.classList.toggle('mainNavLinksWrapperSlideUp');bento_box_wrapper.classList.toggle = 'r

For quite a while now while I am trying to work on a HTML project on  Dreamweaver 21.3 15593Build on my 2019 Mac Pro (2.5GHZ 8-Core Intel Xeon and 32GB of RAM) with Mac OS 13.1 I am experiencing a significant lag in the program and constantly getting the rainbow wheel.I opened 5 pages to paste some new lines (each page has about 500 lines, not something too big) it took several minutes to even open the pages. Then when I navigate from page to page I am getting the spinning wheel every time. About 5 seconds from one tab to another.I did a test, added one new line in the code and it took 10 seconds to save it and 20-25 to exit the program.It will take for ever to make the change to the whole project… On the other hand on my M1 Pro Macbook Pro I opened 7 pages instantly and worked without any problem and no delay. Any help would be extremely helpful.

I have an issue where Dreamweaver 2021 converts UTF-8 encoded files into US-ASCII when it opens the files. Consequently, some symbols (e.g. ¥) get changed to garbage. The files are CakePHP CTP files. They don't have encoding meta at the start of the file (it's in a header file instead). I think DW uses the meta encoding tag to work out the encoding used to decide what format to use when opening the file. In Preferences, I have already set default encoding for new files to UTF-8, and also selected the option 'use when opening existing files that don't specify an encoding'.Is there a way that I can make DW identify UTF-8 files correctly? 

I have a strange problem I can't figure out. In one section of my document, I have article titles to which I've added hyperlinks. I put quotation marks around the article titles, but the hyperlink doesn't include the quotation marks. When the article title extends past the end of the line, it wraps normally to the next line. So far so good. In the Dreamweaver display, everything works as you'd expect. (Screenshot below; see the first example.) But when I view the page online through a browser (I tried this with both Firefox and Chrome), note how the first citation, because it extends beyond one line, puts a line break immediately after the first quotation mark and again immediately before the second one.How do I get it to stop doing this?
