Dreamweaver

Okay... last year it was perfectly fine for all the "Bootstrap 5 is still in alpha ... just be patient" posts. Now we have a Boostrap that FOUR versions old. FOUR. And if you're starting a new project,  you'd have to be braindead to accept v4.4.1 of Bootstrap when there's a replacement that doesn't require jQuery (unless you already require jQuery for some other reason). I've been doing this long enough to know that being pissed off isn't going to increase the speed of Adobe programmers... but it sure does make be feel better to vent.  There.  Done. Cheers ~ jp  

I am having the following problem – my document window snaps to the top when I make changes in CSS designer. It also happens sometimes when I use the scrubber bar. This is a big time waster when there is a lot of content in the window. How can this be avoided? Thanks, KevinPS Please do not ask me what kind of computer and what version of Dreamweaver I am using. That is the kiss of death.

Safari and a Microsoft browser both play my MP$ videos.   However, I am finding that neither Firefox nor Chrome (Mac versions) can play the video part of Videos —although both can play the audio component. This is the source: https://taumel.shelbourne-america.net/pages/videos.html   I believe that I may need to containerize the MP4 videos in some way but I have not yet discovered exactly how to do it. I would be grateful for any help that anyone can offer for getting these Videos to play in both Chrome and in Firefox.  

First time building a website on this new machine and I'm having a hell of a time with getting the brower to recognise any changes I make in linked css/js files..............old machine was never this bad, the browser virtually never cached the files. This makes it virtually impossible to develop/build anything without having to repeatedely change the name of the file constantly after each change..............how are others managing this, its pure frustration? I've never experienced this high degree of constant caching by a browser. I've altered the settings in Chrome to clear 'All Time' but that dosent seem to make a lot of difference. Cheers Os.

My local files will not display in the files panel in Dreamweaver.  The files are on the hard drive and have not moved from where they always have been.  Manage Sites is pointing to the correct file location. Thank you.

In  Dreamweaver CS6  it was possible to create an anchor for a link on an image. Not use the whole image as a link, you defined a *part* of the image as an anchor for a link.There was a selection tool somewhere and you drew the place you wanted to anchor the link on the placed image and created the link to it. it was called an "area shape".It was very useful, and I can't see any obvious reason why it might have been removed. But I'm nearly to the end of the Dreamweaver Classroom in a Book for DW2021 and haven't yet come across anything mentioning it. I'm gearing up for a rebuild of the site, since CS6 is not going to be usable once I end up needing to replace my computer. There is a whole series of pages in my CS6 site which use this feature, and DW2021 is able to open those pages. I *may* be able to copy/paste the more elaborate of these button panels into the new build and and just create new links. However, I also use these area shape links on the index page and would

Hello everyone!I had not used Dreamweaver in over a decade and things have changed a bit, relearning the app.I am working with xml files, copying from three different sources onto a master xml file, as well as text from a PDF file.When I paste the new entries into their respective/appropriate locations, it doesn't indend automatically. I have tried to close the application and open again and see if it indents the structure properly while opening the file, but no luck.I'm not quite sure if it's because these are xmls files and there's no reference schema for the underlying structure (the client's choice).Searched around here, but didn't find anything remotelly similar.Any help will be greatly appreciated!Thanks,H.

Apparently Dreamweaver does not support alternative video formats??

HiI have recently published a website using Dreamweaver.  When clicking on the web pages in a browser, the pages are displayed in type for a couple of seconds (long enough to be noticeable) and then display in CSS, as they should.  I have tried several different devices and browsers and the same happens with each one.  I am not sure what I have done wrong and how to correct it.  Any ideas?Jackie

Hi,When you click a keyword such as </font> the whole thing highlights.How do you then cut or copy the highllighted text.The option is greyed out as unavailable when right clicking.It would be oh so usefull to be able to copy the highlighted text, rather than having to carefully click and swipe to highlight it.Og course double clicking the keyword such as </font> selects the word only (font) and this can be cut or copied, not very usefull, if cut it would leave </> Is there some way to copy or cut the whole keyword without having to click and swipe.eg </font> I realise that you can click before or after the keyword and use the cursor keys to mark the text.I personally don't see the point of being able to select the ketword with a simple click if you can't do anything with it! Thanks for reading, any help would be appreciated.Peter, Leeds, UK 

At the risk of "soapboxing," let me just say that I'm thoroughly astounded by how many people are still attempting to use 10+ year old web authoring software in 2021.  Don't they know that the web is constantly & swiftly changing to help make the web a better place for everyone?    Is it plain recklessness, blind ignorance, poverty or an unwillingness to accept change?  I don't know and frankly I don't care. There is no excuse for using obsolete web software.  There are plenty of viable alternatives available.    Long ago, I stopped worrying about users of obsolete web browsers.  If someone can't upgrade to a modern web browser, that's their cross to bear; not mine.   Likewise, I feel the clock has run out on users of legacy Macromedia and Creative Suite products.  It's time to upgrade or step aside and let someone else with more web experience handle these projects now.    My new mission is to stop coddling legacy product

OK, so I'm sure this used to work but I cant seem to see the wood from the trees. I have a typical date format in the database and I am trying to get the unique month and year from the date column and then order the information in the correct order - month/year: date2022-01-102022-06-152022-11-242023-11-062022-06-172024-01-17 This gets the unique month and year SELECT DISTINCT MONTHNAME(date) as `Month` , ' ', YEAR(date) AS `Year`FROM destination_dates_prices But when I try to ORDER BY date I get an error: SELECT DISTINCT MONTHNAME(date) as `Month` , ' ', YEAR(date) AS `Year`FROM destination_dates_prices ORDER BY date DESC Mysql Error:#3065 - Expression #1 of ORDER BY clause is not in SELECT list, references column 'destination_dates_prices.date' which is not in SELECT list; this is incompatible with DISTINCT I can't seem to find where to locate the 'date' in the select clause????  Os

I have always used Dreamweaver to code html, css and js. One feature I've always liked is the color formats of the source code (ie. blue for functions, green for numbers, purple for variable names, orange for strings etc). However, since this recent update, I'm having some problems with the colors of the code. When I open Dreamweaver and go to a file that I was working on, all the code is just white on a black format or if I change the background color, black on a white background. The only solution I've found to this problem is that I have to close Dreamweaver and start it up again, and on the third or fourth attempt, the normal color formats (ie. blue for functions, green for numbers, purple for variable names, orange for strings etc). return. Are any other people having this problem and are there any solutions so that I don't have to keep closing and opening Dreamweaver, till I get my normal color formats back.Thanks in advance, Gary

I saw in a demostation of oXygen (web program) that it displays a structure tree palette. Is this possible in Dreamweaver. It would be a very helpful tools? I have looked into it and I can't find anything. Am I missing something. You would think a program made by Adobe would have this?

What software can I use to maintain and change content in older websites created with CS5? 

The 'og:image' property should be explicitly provided, even if a value can be inferred from other tags. Facebook can't find my current URL. I changed from http to https and facebook keeps putting a graphic at the end of all my posts with the old http and it says Forbidden, no access.  

Hummmmmm..........since I acquired my new Mac all is not well!! All the form select options dropdown backgrounds appear as a dirty grey color with white text on the websites I've built!!!! I'm assuming its got a lot to do with my Mac theme being the dark option, I dont know. Is there a way to get the white background back for the options dropdown, without going back to a white theme for the computer? I've tried a few css solutions but none seem to work, so far. Edited: Yes, that seems to be it, setting the computers theme to light brings back the white background behind the options tags. That is just F*****G crazy, what idiot thought that one up,  genius. No wonder I want to give up, I'm losing the will to live with all the dopes around. Yes, by all means affect the architecture, why dont you, but invading the browser itself, no way!!! Now it looks like Im going to have to manually build the select option to get the effect I want. As an aside note its all going to r

I'm unable to get a two-page PDF file to appear on an HTML page. I tried to link from the page to the PDF as an image.  The Properties panel says the link exists, with a self-loading of the page. I also tried to link from the page to an HTML page containing the PDF.  Again the Properties panel says the link exists, with a self-loading page. But the page loads as a white, blank page in Safari and Chrome on my Mac, and on my Iphone in Safari. Also, I don't know where to store the _files folder that Acrobat made when I exported the PDF to Dreamweaver.  The _files folder contains an .htm file, two jpegs and a css file.  I tried them in my HTML pages folder and outside that folder and uploaded them, but the PDF still doesn't appear in my Web site in browsers on the Web.

Possibly a stupid question, but I can't seem to figure it out, even with web searches.  I want to change the color of a single word in my HTML document.  Can someone offer guidance?I can change certain styles of selected text (bold, italic, etc), but can't seem to figure out color.Also, I know how to change the color of different elements using CSS.  But for selected text within an element, is CSS the simplest solution here?Thanks in advance.

I am using Dreamweaver 21.2 on Windows 11. I just moved over to a new computer and all my settings synced over from my old machine, which was great.But now every time I saw it pushes to the testing server, which I have not done in the past, and I have reasons for not wanting to. I went in and made sure the box was unchecked and it was.I have 2 servers set up in the site, 1 is remote, the other is testing. Both servers have the auto push checkbox as unchecked as show here:I have tried checking the box, saving the setup, and then going back in and unchecking it and saving again. It still auto-pushes on save. I tried deleting the servers from the site entirely. Then set up the servers again making sure the box was unchecked on both, and it still auto-pushes.

Hello, I have created a report page that uses the "FormToEmail" format to post the information on the page.  The HTML page is:  https://lotcs.org/sky_pilot_rpt.html.  When I select the "Send Form" button, it works fine as far as I can tell, because after submitting, the PHP file comes up that tells the end user that the report was submitted successfully.  However, the information on the form never shows up in my e-mail inbox.  Below is the code for my PHP file.  Thanks in advance for your help!  Have a blessed day, eh?

For a slideshow-type site, I use a few thumbnails created as .svg files so that overlying text labels stay sharp.Dreamweaver on macOS doesn't recognize these as images, showing a broken image icon.I have a fairly easy workaround, using a .jpg as the thumb until I'm ready to upload, then I switch the .svg instead of the .jpg, ignore the broken image icon and upload. My question: Can I change a setting so that Dreamweaver macOS recognizes .svg files as images? I understand there's a setting in Windows file dialogs to do this, but that's not a choice in mac file dialogs.

Hello,When I try to edit a photo by launching Photoshop within Dreamweaver (right click on photo, choose Open) I ma being told that Photoshop 2018 cannot be found:I don't have 2018 0n my system, and in my preferences I have it set up as 2019, the version that is on my system. In addition, I have 8 gig of ram, and about 80 gig free hard drive space, so I don't think it's a memory issue either:And it doesn't matter how many times I reboot, relaunch, reload, or reinstall. And the path is correct, since in order to pick the program at all I have to navigate to the executable on my hard drive to choose it. Any ideas? I've gotten really tired of paying a huge monthly fee for a program that has a new array of issues, as well as most of the old ones, with every update.
