Question

Horizontal Looper not working in CS3

I recently upgraded to Dreamweaver CS3 from 8 and have been unable to get Horizontal Looper 2 (the version for ASP) to work in this new version.

The extension itself and the settings dialog box appear, but the pop-up menu to select a recordset is blank. This identical issue occurs on a separate installation on a different machine as well.

I'm working in ASP VBScript specifically with a SQL Server stored procedure. I've been unable to get this extension to work, even on pages that I created with DW8 where in which the Horizontal Looper 2 extension worked without any issue.

Has anyone experienced this issue or have any suggested workarounds?

Who in tech support? I wrote the extension, so tech support would be me.
Which server language are you using? I tried it in DW 8 and DW CS3 and it
seems to be fine. It is not supported for ColdFusion. The latest version is
available from here:

I can't get Horizontal Looper 2 to work with DW 8. I called and talked to tech support and they said it would only work with the old version of DW and isn't compatible with DW 8. So is there a different version I should try to get?

Thanks,

Nick

I just tried it using DW CS3 and an ASP/VB page .. it worked. No problem.

If the recordset box is empty .. did you make a recordset on the page first?
Since you said it's not working in DW8 with your Stored Procedure, I would
say that the Stored Procedure is probably the problem. The extension works
fine.

Hi Nancy,

Thanks for your response. Are you running CS3 on an Intel Mac as well?

I may have not been clear in my initial post. This same Stored Procedure did work with DW8, in terms of it being recognized by the Horizontal Looper 2 extension.

The bizarre thing is that the recordset is showing up as an option when I use Dreamweaver's built-in Repeat Region dialog box in CS3, but doesn't appear within the Horizontal Looper 2 extension. I tested this by creating identical ASP pages which call the same stored procedure within DW8 (Win) and then CS3 (Mac), as well as reading-in ASP files created by each version. Same problem with CS3. I've tested several other stored procedures (even simple SELECT-only statements) and still have the same problem. I also completely uninstalled and then re-installed the Horizontal Looper 2 extension, but to no avail.

If there's anything else you could suggest I try, please let me know.
