No "Find" Dialog Box

Hi. I just installed DW 2021 on Win 10 and am familiarizing myself with the basic interface. I used the "Find" feature once. After that the "Find" dialog box does not display and I cannot do a new find. Any idea what this is? Thanks.

Help Needed! SFTP Connection Error "An FTP error occured"

Hi. Sorry to bug everyone. But I was trying to edit and update my site as I usually do. The connection to remote server broke and I was unable to reconnect since then. I'm using SFTP connection and the exact workflow has been working smoothly for a few years since I initally built the site. Please refer to the screenshot for the error message. I don't know much about this subject, and I basically built the website with the help of a few youtube videos. So bascially I have no clue at all what's wrong there. I did a preliminary research in the past few days and didn't come to a solution yet. It would be much appreciated if anyone can inspire me a little bit. Thanks guys.P.S. I'm confident that my login credentials (password and username) for the hosting service I subscribed is typed in correctly. And FYI, my site is: http://www.jiiiiii.com

We seen one article related to this and tried the folowing in the manifest file  <StartOn> <Event>com.adobe.csxs.events.ApplicationInitialized</Event> </StartOn> But this is not helping for Dreamweaver 2021. Please share your thoughts and suggestions to resolve this issue

Lost a toolbar and don't know how to get it back

Hi, I used to have a super helpful thin, vertical toolbar between the files/snippets panel (which I have on the left) and the main coding window (on right). It had, among other things, tools for adding various types of comments to your code which I used ALL the time. It's disappeared. How do I get it back? Thanks.

Ok.. I used FrontPage to develop some basic websites about 10 years ago.   I need to rebuild a site that was made by someone else in something called Joomla, HTML, Java, and has a MySQL database behind it.I need drag and drop but Dreamweaver doesn't seem to work like FrontPage.  I've looked at WiX, and Wordpress, but they don't seem to have what I need.Anyone know how to use this Dreamweaver thing that can tell me what to do?

Re: FTP error - cannot connect to host GoDaddy [Branched from 2017 topic]

Hi! Please clarify... so in Dreamweaver there is a section called FTP Adress (ftp.domain.com), and Web URL (http://ftp.domain.com/). Do I remove "ftp" from both or one? I've removed both individually and both and still get the same error. Thanks!

How to remove persistent yellow warning “Adobe Flash Plugin not found” Dreamweaver CS6 on Mac

I'm having this same issue with Dreaweaver CS6 on the Mac desktop application. At least it does not crash the application for me. I just close the yellow banner. My HTML was cheacked and validated. I also reset preferences for the application by changing the names of the preferences folders, thus forcing new reset folders to appear. I have no Flash anywhere on my site. In fact, I made a point of avoiding Flash, and even Javascript, and went with CSS tricks instead. Flash is no longer supported on Firefox in any event. It would be nice to know if there is some library file that could be deleted to prevent this.

What Has Happened to Dreamweaver?

It has been a slow rot, but there appears to be very little WYSIWYG interface left in DW. Not only are the tools gone, but the CSS Designer is truly lacking.

paste preferences greyed out

Hi There, I'm new to Dreamweaver and have an issue with paste preferences being greyed out once i try to use Paste Speical. I'm copying text from Pages and have tried with a Word formatted doc too. I'm sure I'm missing something obvious and would appreciate someone putting me out of my misery if possible! Cheers, Ed‹

How do you CSS-style a table by column number?

I want my table to have the first column left-aligned and subsequent columns center-aligned. Like this...I want to do all the styling in a css file, but don't see a way to do this. I can set row attributes according to row number (odd v even), but I don't find an equivalent for column numbers. So, after setting the stripes and default center-text alignment  in the css, I still end up styling each cell in the first column to be left-aligned.  <table class="table-striped"> <tr> <th colspan="4">Pesca Altura (Marlin, Tuna...)</th> </tr> <tr> <td style="text-align:left;">Banco Española (N)</td> <td>26nm</td> <td>30mi</td> <td>48km</td> </tr>

Sitewide Update of Template

I've been making modifications to my website by copying my DWT under a new name and modifying it, saving a few existing pages under a new name, and linking them to the new DWT for testing.  I am now ready to go sitewide and publish.  What is the best way to do this?  Do I have to save the new DWT contents into the existing DWT then update all files (which is OK with me), or is there a way to get all the HTML files to point to the new DWT for update?  Thanks.- Fred

Extra spaces added

Spaces are added when I indent to a new paragraph (at the beginning of the paragraph) or after I add a hyperlink. This is just a tiny reason why I hate using Dreamweaver and think every time you update it, it gets worse. I've been using Dreamweaver since 2008 and it is far and away what I hate most about my job. Somedays you make me want to quit my job just so I don't have to deal with Dreamweaver. And web development isn't even my job!

Please help me solve this. I was using a website template my teacher gave me for an assignment. I had to zip up the file to submit my work and now my website won't load properly. If the file is unzipped it works fine. Why is this happening???

Distorted images in design view

When in design view all images on a page look distorted (pixelated). When switching to Live view they look correct.. Zoom level is set to 100% so that's not the issue. This appears on every Web page I have. How can I fix the view so the images look normal? 2 images to showcase attached. Any help would be appreciated.

Layout shift on Hover when Text is Made Bold

HelloSee link below for example.Move curser over the hyperlinks to see the layout shift over.I would like to change the font in a hyperlink when you hover the curser over the text. You can see the layout shift when this happens.If you remove the font-family: 'Georgia' then the layout does not shift.I am using a fake bold using the text-shadow: property.If I do not use it then the layout shifts as well. Questions: Is there a better way then using the fake text shadow to create bold text when the curser hovers over the text and also can I change the font without the layout shifting over?http://davidswebsite.com/test/Layout_shift.html
