Login password database

My daughter has to produce a web based quiz for her A level course work. No problem writing the code but we are struggling with the database for the login user/password.  Can anyone recommend the database element or how to do the link to Dreamweaver. She can't get any help from school but is allowed outside help. Very strange!

dreamweaver crashing 2024

I'm sure nobody will hear my cries. There is no support from Adobe. However. I have a website that I have had going for at least the past three years. I just opened the Dreamweaver to add something to it and it is obvious that Dreamweaver is not attaching the template and/or the css properly. When I look at the code, there are fragments of code where there should be whole lines. Corrupted? I guess that's what it is. It was okay a few weeks ago when I opened it to do something similar. Somehow, sitting there, on my computer, it totally f---ed up.  Luckily, it is not bad on the internet. My website (actually there are two of them) still look okay, but need updates. I have been fiddling with it for three days now and nothing has improved except the amount of stomach acid I make. I even tried deleting and reinstalling the software, but nothing changed. I'm seriously looking for another webpage producer.  I have done a screen shot of how my page ends in the code.  Mid wo

Source code lookup

Hey, it’d be awesome to have a tool with a similar function like this Page Source Viewer built right into Dreamweaver. I know it’s comparable to the developer tools in browsers like Chrome or Safari, but having it natively in Dreamweaver would save so much time for web developers. I often need to quickly check the source code of various websites, and having that kind of source code lookup tool directly in the IDE would be fantastic!

Dreamweaver CS5.5 - Activation Limit Reached

I have used Dreamweaver CS5.5 very sparingly, only enough to generate <html> coding for webpage structure; however I purchased this software many years ago and now I am unable to activate it because it returns activation attempts with the message "Activation limit reached for Adobe Dreamweaver CS5.5"I re-installed an old SSD on my older laptop and opened a valid version of Dreamweaver CS5.5 and followed the steps to deactivate that copy.  I received the message that deactivation was successful, so I thought that I had succeeded and met the criteria for activation on a new device.  However, I still get the error message when attempting to activate Dreamweaver CS5.5 on a newer laptop.  Who can I reach out to for help.  I cannot go to customer support because I do not have any active subscriptions. There must be a way to reconcile this. There is no option in my Adobe account to help me see older activations and delete them from my account.   [Moderator remov

Public Distribution of Dreamweaver CSS Syntax Validation Definition

This is a property sheet for Dreamweaver's CSS editor to disable warnings related to custom properties and universal selectors.I created this because the warnings are annoying.Note: To enable custom properties, warnings for non-existent (undefined in CSS) properties will also be disabled.For example, the following warnings (like "Expected RBRACE at line xxxxxxx") will be disabled::root { --cfw-body-font-color: #000; // ← Warning here } @keyframes blinking { // ← Warning here 0% { opacity: 0.1; color: var(--cfw-theme-font-color); // ← Warning here } 100% { opacity: 1; color: var(--cfw-color-red); // ← Warning here } } .ql-editor ul[data-checked=true] > li *, // ← Warning here .ql-editor ul[data-checked=false] > li * { // ← Warning here pointer-events: all; }How to Configure (DW21.x)Windows:Go to [Edit] > [Preferences] > [Syntax Checking].Select "CSS" in the "Root Set" and edit.Mac:Go to [Dreamweaver] > [Preferences

Template not updating child files

I have been updating websites from 2012 with DW 2021    Some of the websites are updating properly when I make changes on templates, but this one website is  not.  No prompt is appearing.  I also note that the images folder isn't the one within the website folder on multiple sites. . It is like DW is confused as to which image folder links to which site.  The only thing that may confuse it is that the sites have similar names.

How to permit or forbid file type uploads in DW?

the ancient DW  used to have a setting within each site to allow or disallow images like png or pdf uploads.   I can't find it in the current settings. I have an old website that I'm restoring that had previously blocked png uploads (the file has a red bar through it) . I can't find a setting to allow pngs to be uploaded during file transfers.    Please help.

Point to file malfunction

Hello!I have used Dreamweaver CS3 and have been completely satisfied, but Windows 11 on a HP ZBOOK forced me to buy 21.4.  And now I am not satisfied ... Nothing is better, as far as I have seen so far.I have two external screens. When i try to point to a file to make a link on Screen 1 I can  not do that but a strange window appears on the laptop-screen 2. Any suggestions to get this fixed?

Enable Auto Compilation on File Save causes trouble

Greetings!  I develop primarily on a fussy, funky SAAS platform. I write my code in Dreamweaver becasue I've been using it since the 1999 or so and it's what I'm used to. (yes, I'm ancient).  The Enable Auto Compilation on File Save option is defaulted to ON. This causes me trouble. I usually remember to disable it before I start doing file transfers but when I forget, it takes me fifteen minutes to clean up the mess.  Any suggestions would be helpful but what I'm really looking for is a way to disable this feature so that the DEFAULT is OFF.

Dreamweaver Interface needs to be like Indesign

The last DW main interface design that was any good was CS5.5 This is 2021This is CS5.5 (not great, but much better) The main system interface needs to be as good as InDesign. There needs to be good contrast.This is InDesignNotice how much more comfortable that is on your eyes? I am urging the developers at Adobe to improve the working interface color and contrast. It will make a major difference in designer and developer use of the program. John G
