Questions

I have a guy who already has his own graphic designer and hosting who wants a website. I am an independent web designer and am not used to working this way. Do any of you have experience with this sort of situation?

I recently bought a new PC and have Windows 10. I backed up all my files from my old computer and downloaded them to my new computer. I installed Dreamweaver. However, I don't know how to get my local website files loaded onto Dreamweaver (or even where to find them.) so that I can update my website.  I have only a pretty basic knowledge of Dreamweaver for a pretty unsophisticated website (oamasters.com). Thank you for any help you can provide or for pointing me in the right direction. Janet

I just noticed that the latest version of XAMPP has replaced MySQL with MariaDB, which I have never heard of. To my knowledge, both Joomla and Wordpress continue to use MySQLi. I supposed I could just continue to use older versions of XAMPP but I find this disappointing.

Hi guys,Having a very minor problem with a dropdown menu in a website I am currently trying to construct - the vast majority is completely fine, there is just one of the dropdowns that disappears when I scroll the mouse down to the bottom option - the rest are all working nicely!HTML and CSS code, plus screenshot below - The issue is regarding the 'Bands' option under the 'For Hire' menu.HTML<nav><div id="navbar">  <meta charset="utf-8">    <ul>      <li><a href="#">About Us</a></li>      <li><a href="#">Rehearsals</a>        <ul>          <li><a href="#" class="sub">Live Room</a></li>          <li><a href="#" class="sub">Isolation Room</a></li>     &n

I’m trying to figure out my way around Dreamweaver and I have some issues I can’t quote figure out, primarily related to modifying text.On the right of side of Dreamweaver there is a “Properties” panel that appears to allow me to adjust things like font color, size, family, alignment, etc.  But the options are greyed out and I can’t figure out how to make them active.  If I have a section of text that I want to change, I highlight the text (ensuring the orange box is active so I can actually modify the text, but the different parameters remain greyed out.  If I go in and change the actual code (text-align for example), the selected parameter in the “properties” sidebar will then change but I still can’t edit the text by clicking on the item I want to change.How do I make that active?I also read that I can change the text for the entire page by going to file-> page properties and modifying the Appearance (CSS) section.  However when I make changes there nothing ch

I created a website using Dreamweaver CS3 many years ago, which continue to look fine on my older computer windows XP.  Yea, it all sounds antique. It looked fine on my browser when launched and still does. [ I later acquired CS4 but did not use it. ]I want to add new images and text and preserve much of the original website. When I look at my website on newer computer operating systems, the text areas 'drift' from the original appearance viewed on my computer, meaning titles overlap, text is not justified, etc. I now have a refurbished PC with windows 7.  Do I need to completely rebuild and if so do I need the latest version of the now Adobe software?   Any suggestions?

Would it be 1) possible, and 2) relatively harmless for me to replace all grays on a website with 50% alpha black (via rgba values)? The reasoning being that a 50% black should mix better with most site bg colors than a solid neutral gray will. They would look identical on solid white, though.Are rgba values that safe to use across the board, I guess is the question I'm really asking.

8-Track vs Compact Cassette, Betamax vs VHS, Foundation vs Bootstrap. Notice how I have placed the better technology first and comparing that to the more popular technology? In case of the first 2, the latter has won. The jury is out on the 3rd oneHave a look here Foundation & CSS Grid: Think Beyond the Page | ZURB Blog to make up your own mind.

Ok so I have an image(top) in my portfolio scaled it weird, but I scaled the image down (bottom)and it still looks the same

CTRL-C, CTRL-V, CTRL-S ... which I use all the time, have all stopped working in the design window both on the code side and the WSYWIG side. I *can* however CTRL-V into the field in the property box.  It's just in the design window.  I've tested on other applications and the keyboard short cuts all work fine. It's definitely isolated to DW CC.  Any ideas?Thanks!

Hello everyone,one of my difficulties to use DW CC 2017 is the different way "includes" are illustrated. Here my problem:1. Version 2017 (Entwurf Standard >>> translated: Draft Standard?)Instead of the original includes I see "php"2. Version 2017 (Live View >>> translated: Developer?)I see neither php nor the includes.3. Version 2015:The two includes are visible (menu and the textlines "Karnevalsgesellschaft ...)Will there be a chance to get the latter kind of style so too in DW 2017?Many thanks in advance for your support.Hans-Günter

I have just looked at support for the css @apply rule on caniuse-http://caniuse.com/#feat=css-apply-ruleI noticed that for the Chrome for Android browser, the feature can be enabled using the 'about' flag. I did not think it was possible to set these flags on mobile devices, and as I do not have a recent updated Android device to check, I was wondering if anyone has ever set the 'about' flag on a mobile browser, (or even knew that it was possible)?Also does it work, (thinking css grids)?css grid demo to check, if possible -http://www.pziecina.com/Adobe/grids_demo.html

I am using bootstap to create a responsive site. It was goin well until the dropdowns just stopped working. Also when I upload my file somewho in the process when it reaches to the other side all my documents are blank. So I used filezilla insted, that worked but the dropdowns still didn't work. At that point I figured maybe the copy of dreamweaver cc was curpt so I deinstalled and reinstalled a clean version, the recreated my bootstrap document and still no results. I'm out of ideas... I really need to move forward with this project. does anyone have any suggestions? I was thinking maybe the Javascript needed upgrading but I do have the latest verion of the program....Someone please help.-Nathifa

I need to remove double spaces between words. Is there a formula I can use using the 'find/replace' function.The issue is, that I'm putting text into paragraphs which hasn't been edited correctly, and there are a lot of double spaces after/ before words.Note: I'm not trying to remove white-space between <p> <div> etc.

When I inserted pictures on a file, the code used to begin with <img src="home.page/   but now, when I insert a picture from the same place (by INSERT - IMAGE), the code it gives me is: <img src="../home.page/   Of course, I can change it to <img src="home.page/  but then the picture doesn't appear. However, in neither case do the pictures appear when I put the files onto the remote server. Meanwhile, the ones I'd previously put up with code beginning <img src="home.page/ do appear. I can usually work these things out but this time I'm stumped. I am now using Dreamweaver 2017, but can't really think this is what the problem is. I've checked the local files against those on the server and they match.

I can't seem to find a way to GET folders and related files with special characters in the folder name. Renaming the folders or files is not an option. Dreamweaver is the only client in which this seems to be an issue in. Any idea of how I can use Dreamweaver to access these files, even if only on the remote server?

For some reason, I cannot get my 2017 FTP ("Files" window) to sync files - it always times out. All previous DW versions have been just fine. I can sync files using another software (i.e. Transmit) so it's not the FTP issue per se. Has anything been changed...?

Thank you both for your replies. I'm still having no joy after right clicking & selecting the changed files, to be put to the remote side. I pressed refresh after putting the files over. I synced the full site again and still no good. I also copied and pasted the 4 files from the local to the remote but changes are still not showing live online. Julian, you asked "Are you sure you're not looking at a cached version of the site in your browser"?Unfortunately I don't know what this means and need to know is there some setting wrong at my end or does my Website Host Company need to change some setting at their end? Thanks.

I have learned that the DWZone's "PHP Advanced Search" product that I purchased is too old and use outdated PHP.  How do I go about getting a refund?
