Hyperlinks in Preview failing to connect.

Hi. I teach Dreamweaver, and my students and I are experiencing a problem with some hyperlinks not opening web pages in the preview. We are using Dreamweaver 2021 which is the most up to date for us. For example wikipedia hyperlinks will open and load the page without issue, but youtube immediately opens a light gray screen and says failed to connect. The tags and links are in the exact same format and order for both. Is there a change in Dreamweaver that's caused this? In the attached pictures, the links under favorite time of day and favorite song are receiving the failed to connect gray screen.

Mac display sleep causes DW workspace window to move

Whenever I return to Dreamweaver after waking my Mac (or just its display) from sleep, I find that DW's workspace window has been resized and now occupies only the lower 3/4 of my screen (instead of the full screen).  This bug seems to have been documented and fixed in 2023 for apps like Illustrator (Window and panels moving when Mac goes to sleep) and InDesign (Window and panels moving when Mac goes to sleep) but persists in Dreamweaver, which hasn't been updated since 2021.

Suddenly getting "Failed to read the contents of XML Resource" error message

My server credentials are correct. I can't establish a connection now though. SSH_KEY_CHANGE?  The info online I'm reading isn't helping me. They are also from years ago. Anyone help me out here? How do I reestablish my SFTP connection?

WebP for Dreamweaver

Dreamweaver is a great product and I've been using it for years. I sure hope Adobe doesn't do something stupid like discontinue it.  Anyway, Dreamweaver needs to embrace the WebP image format so it is prominently displayed and you don't have to dig for it.  BTY, Photoshop is older than Dreamweaver and nobody want's to discontinue it!

Installation + Key / Dreamweaver 4

Good morning,I bought Dreamweaver 4 for my old Mac from 2014 with Big Sur. Stupid question: where is the key?I have a second question: on the 2 CDs in the box, only the "green" one comes up, nd there is only a setup.exe on it. The other CD (the "white" one) does not mount (via an external CD player). If anyone could help me... Thank you.

html template not showing up in Dreamweaver...

Hi everyone. I hope I am posteing this in the right place.I purchased an html template via Envato a few years back but it has never displayed correctly in the dreamwever. Coding itself is fine but visual is not at all usable. See attachment. I contacated the author (ThemeREx ) and she told me to ask the Adobe. So has anyone had any issues like this and if so how can I fix it so that I can actually SEE what I am doing! This is how the home page is displaying. Mostly blank!Curious to know if this is a Dreamweaver issue of theme issue.Thank you!

Adding a sticky footer using Flexbox

Hi everyone, I want the footer element to reside permanently on the bottom of the page. Using Flexbox, this should be easy to accomplish, but I have not had any success. I feel embarrassed to ask this question. There is a flex container with three child elements; the parent element (flex-container) is set to display: flex. <html><head><meta charset="UTF-8"><title>HTML</title><style>*, *::before, *::after {margin: 0;padding: 0;box-sizing: border-box;}body {min-height: 100dvb;}.flex-container {display: flex;flex-direction: row;}.flex-container > div {height: 150px;width: 200px;color: #FFF;}.header {background-color: peachpuff;}.main {background-color: crimson;}.footer {margin-left: auto;background-color: darksalmon;}</style></head><body><div class="flex-container"><div class="header"></div><div class="main"></div><div class="footer"></div></div></body></html&gt

Hey guy's I used to be able to do this with PSD files and 3ds max. Can I do this with IL and DW?

is there anyway to link illustrator and dreamweaver together so that I can draw in illustrator and have that update in dreamweaver automatically? ChatGPT said:ChatGPTLinking Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Dreamweaver for automatic updates is not directly supported as a native feature between these two applications. However, there are some workflow strategies and tools within the Adobe ecosystem that can help streamline the process of using Illustrator graphics in Dreamweaver projects, making the update process more efficient, if not fully automatic.Workflow Strategies to Streamline Updates:Creative Cloud Libraries:Shared Assets: Utilize Adobe Creative Cloud Libraries to share assets between Illustrator and Dreamweaver. When you save your Illustrator graphics to a Creative Cloud Library, you can access these assets directly from Dreamweaver.Updating Assets: When you update an asset in Illustrator and save it to the same library, the new version becomes available in Dreamweaver.

Disable image description (alt text) popup

Hello I'm using CS6 and it's been annoying me for years with an " image description (alt text)" popup every time I paste an image. This was just an annoyance but now I'll be doing this up to 100 times a day. Needless to say that interrupts my work flow and $$ is $$ so I can't afford to be slowed down by something I know after the first couple times it showed up (like any non-idiot I looked up what it meant. I think this is annoying but also pretty stupid if the user never did it. I can see the helpfulness the first dozen times but after that it's been seared into my brain for a decade or so. SO is there anyway to disable it? Even if it means dsiabling all potential popups?

Stacked grid-template-areas

Hi everyone, A quick question regarding stacked grid-template-areas. Here is a grid with three columns and three rows. Simple enough..grid-container {display: grid;grid-template-columns: 1fr 3fr 1fr;grid-template-rows: auto auto 100px;grid-template-areas:"header header header""sidebar content related""footer footer footer";gap: 20px;} But in this example, I have one grid item stacked over another. How should I label the grid-template areas? Stack? When I redefine the grid area for the two grid items (.image and .text) the grid breaks down. .grid-container {display: grid;grid-template-columns: repeat(5, 1fr);grid-template-rows: 1fr auto 1fr;grid-template-areas: stack;gap: 20px;}.image {grid-area: 1 / 1 / 4 / 6;}.text {grid-area: 2 / 2 / 3 / 4;color: white;} Thanks. Mark

Dreamweaver theme for coldfusion tags

I love the Coldfusion tags colors used in the old Dreamweaver (for example, CS6) and I hear the same thing from other CF programmers.In Dreamweaver 2021, I have starting creating my "Classic Dreamweaver" theme using the main.less file but am having problems making the html comments ("<!--") tags grey and the coldfusion comments ("<!---") tags yellow background with black font.https://helpx.adobe.com/dreamweaver/using/customize-code-coloring.html#mixed-code.cm-comment { color: #7a7a7a; /* same css class for both coldfusion and html comments */ }I tried this and it doesn't work, all comments are grey:.CFM{ .cm-comment { background-color: #FFFF99; color: #000000; } }Have anyone tried doing it with any success?

Proper CSS Selectors -- "style" vs "auto-style" [topic edited for clarity]

When using dreamweaver, what is the different between "style" and "auto style"?  I have used both when creating font/color/size etc. and there seems to be no difference.  Maybe I should ask the question " When should I use "style" vs "auto-style" "

Set up subdomain as new site

I have set up a subdomain amd would like to define a new site in Dreamweaver using the subdomain as root.  However, when I try to set it up I get a message saying because the site folder is inside the site root that it will cause synchronization problems.  I certainly don't want that!  Can anyone suggest a way to make this work? Thanks!

Apply Source Formatting deletes code

After typing a line of CSS and choosing Edit > Code > Apply Source Formatting, the entire line is deleted.Undo also does not work in this case (does not undo the deletion, or bring back the line of code), so it is just gone. (Screen capture attached.) I use the auto formatting constantly, so this is a critical bug for me.

File Transfer failed

Since last week I am getting an error message everytime I upload an image, whether a new image or when I choose "should dependent files be included".File Transfer failed due to following reasons: - Internal data error: Transferred file size does not match the expected file size. This occurs on two web sites though I have not tried it on all my websites.I am able to successfully upload all the images using Filezilla, which I am having to do as a work around.Has a setting been changed since the latest update? I can't see anything obvious.There is a post about this in 2018, but not resolved.

Completely turn off jslint

Hi, All.  I would like to completely disable the jslinting in Dreamweaver v21.4.  I have done so in Prefrences > Linting, unchecking Enable Linting.  I have also gone into Manage Sites>Advanced>JS Lint but there is no option to turn it off there.  It is irritating, slows down my coding, is fairly useless as it tells you there is a problem, but not what the problem is other than "syntax error", and I would prefer it to be off as the preferences claim is should be.  Thanks.

Crashes on macOS Sonoma when right-clicking

Running Dreamweaver 21.3 (build 15593) under macOS Sonoma, right-clicking during code view and closing the context menu within 1 second causes Dreamweaver to crash, leaving no other option but force termination. Furthermore, the dreamweaver crash report does not appear after restarting the program after the forced termination. This behavior does not occur in other applications, so it seems to be a Dreamweaver-specific problem.

Hide DW Search Panel

Is there any way to permanently hide the search results panel? It pops up after and find or search and replace. The window takes up too much screen space on a laptop and takes the window focus. I've been using DW for 5 years and don't see how to do this in the config files. Thanks for your help!!!

Uploading styles to a remote server

Hello all!  So I have recently started using Dreamweaver to build a website. Using a few tutorial I have been having fun using styles, I tried uploading the website using Filezilla as doing so via Dreamweaver did not work for me. So I saved my website as an index.php and uploaded it however the styles did not transfer along with it. I went and transferred the styles separately but that did not work either. So my question is how do I transfer the styles to my remote server using Filezilla?

The Importance of Secure Web Forms: A Real Life Example

DISCLAIMER:  This post neither condones nor promotes the intentional misuse/abuse of web forms.  It merely illustrates how easy it can be to defeat form security when web developers don't exercise proper due diligence.   BACKGROUND:  The great State of Georgia saw fit to create a Voter Cancellation Portal on their State's official website.  It was intended to help those registered in Georgia update their voter status if, for example, they moved out of state and are no longer eligible to vote in Georgia.  It would also allow family members to remove a deceased relative from the voter rolls.    HOW IT WORKS:  Users with sufficient information can go online to remove their own or someone else’s name from the State's database of registered voters.  It requires no special log-in ID or password, just a few clicks on the State's website form.  Easy, peasy.   PROBLEM: Shortly after its launch, the Voter Cancellation Portal
