Questions

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.

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‹

Hello, we are a several partners in the same office and all can't inclode "map areas" with Dreamweaver 2021. When we select the circle, rect o free to do "map areas", don't active anything, we think is a problem with the application.  We need to use this tool and it's impossible for us. Someone can help us. Thanks.

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>

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

In the 2021 - how can I use the ***  OLD (poly) image map like the Macomedia Dreamwever / 2003 :@ ????! it's incredible that I can't find a description anywhere! Should I install the ancient Macromedia Dw 2003 ???!  

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??? 

I'm getting a message that the executable PS file doesn't exist to open jpgs in PS by double clicking in the DW files panel. I do not want to resinstall either program. Is there an easy fix?

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.

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

I don't see where the issue is but the jump link to a section on another page fails. It goes to the page, just not to the correct ID. I tried the old school <a name="anchor name"></a> but isn't helping.Here are the two pages:Source page: https://documeantpublishing.com/authors.html<a href="fullbios.html#a1" class="link_arr2">Read full biography</a>Jump to section page: https://documeantpublishing.com/fullbios.htmlWhen I click the above link it takes me here:https://documeantpublishing.com/fullbios.html#a1This is the source code on the page: <div class="wrapper wrapper-1 wow fadeInUp" id="a1" name="a1">It looks like it's right, but it ends in the middle of a different section. Any help or advice you can give would be greatly appreciated.

I have about 1500 html web pages ready that I would like to call separately from time to time through a main page. what do you recommend? 

I want to make a page on my website mobile device friendly. This page has a table with links to other pages. I can't really present the links any other way. Here is the old, existing page: https://www.victorianrailways.net/motive%20power/lochome.html I am trying to make a new page from a bootstrap template. To make the new table I select Bootstrap Components>Grid Row with columns. I get what looks like a table and it looks great in a desktop browser until I preview it as a mobile device would see it and the the headings stack on top of each other and the page is a mess.  How do I present this page/info so it looks good on a mobile device? Here is the code Dreamwever is creating for this table. <div class="row"><div class="col-md-3"><strong><img src="headings/elec.gif" alt=""/> </strong></div><div class="col-md-3"><strong><img src="headings/diesel.gif" alt=""/> </strong></di

Lightbox++ opacity overlay fails beyond the viewport, but expands in Chrome devtools mobile view on return key press. Can js mimic this on mobile? I’m using lightbox++ on my site, when viewed on mobile devices, if the user clicks on an image and scales it up, the area outside the viewport remains white instead of being covered with the opacity overlay.I’ve noticed on Chrome developer tools mobile view, when I press the return key, it does some sort of "soft refresh" (it doesn’t reload the whole page, only the lightbox, somehow), which then surprisingly expands the entire overlay over the outside viewport area, just the way I would like it to behave.So it begs the question, can I force that to happen with javascript?I want that behavior to happen on each instance of the image being clicked on, then loaded, then the return key "pressed", thus the lightbox reloaded, etc., in order to ensure the overlay is always over both the viewport and outside the viewport area. Link to the t

Help, I have not been able to do any work today as DW crashes everytime I try to do something.   I am on Windows 10 and have recently updated DW to v21.1.  This tarted last week intermittently but now is constant 

My page has a sticky menu. Let's say it occupies the top 70px of the screen. To hyperlink to a particular heading, I have to set the anchor 70mm above the heading so the heading is not hidden by the menu. I can do this easily by inserting a 70px high <div> between the anchor and the heading I want to display. But this means I have a 70px space in the page which doesn't look great, especially on mobile. Is there a smarter way to jump to a point 70px above my anchor so I don't leave big gaps everywhere? Or jump to the anchor and auto-scroll up 70px to reveal the heading?

Due to the upgrade to PHP 7, I need to rebuild a custom application but am unable to successfully connect to the database. The following error message is generated when using DMXZone Server Connect:"Invalid target configuration! Check your Web Server URL and the connectivity to it." Been chatting with DMXZone tech support but they're unable to determine what the issue is. They were able to run internal tests using my config and had no issues. Repeatedly gone through System Preferences and unable to find anything that might be blocking the connection. Has anyone had a similar issue and found a solution? Are there options beyond DMXZone? Here is the enviornment:MacOS 11.5.2DW 21.1Server Type MySQL 5.7.26PHP 7.3.9PHP extension mysqliMAMP 5.7DMXzone Server Connect 2, version 2.3.1DMXzone App Connect, version 1.9.21Database Connector 2, version 2.3.1 

When I access the class dropdown menu in the properties section of Dreamweaver, the list is populated by my defined classes AND a huge number of classes associated with bootstrap. For example, classes like btn-xs and col-lg-3 are listed. I am using bootstrap, but just a small number of its classes. With the current situation I must scroll through a long list of classes to the defined class that I want. Is there a way to filter the list so that only my defined classes display in the menu? I'm using bootstrap 3.4.1 and running Windows 10. My goal is to speed editing. 

Hi all.. I am wondering what to do with jquery pages and if there is an easy way to translate them into pure html or which framework to select to work out the migrations.   Thanks for advice. 

I know this should be easy but I just can't get it working. My site has a main topnav. It also has a submenu that jumps to various anchors in the body of the page.. In this example: the main menu opens the page "About Us". I set the "About Us' link active manually in that page. The submenu jumps to anchors in the body of the same page. They are "Who We Are", "Where We Are" and "The Journey". Because you can jump back and forth within the page, the active link has to be set with a script that highlights the choice you jumped to and unhighlights the other choices.  So far I have it so it will highlight the choice you jump to but it does not remove the highlight from the other choices. So they all end up highlighted. <div class="subnav" id="mySubnav"> <a class="btn active" href="#whoweare">Who We Are</a> <a class="btn" href="#where-we-are">Where We Are</a> <a class="btn" href="#thejourney">The Journey</

I like the snippets feature. Though it's a pain, if the snippets are longer than 250+ chars. Editing a snippets with ~ 1000+ chars is a pain, since there is not even an option for the window to expand in no manner whatsoever. 😞 There must be some config file where I might be able to change the standard size of the snippet window? This could also be a feature proposal, I guess. 

I built a website some years ago in DW - finally upgraded to DW8. I am running this on a PC . The website ran OK (still does) - Clarkstown60.com - Recently my PC upgraded itself (Windos 10 to Edge). When I tried to open the website (on my computer) it appeared to open but the screen just turned gray.    BTW This is a high school class site (60 years old - so not very active.) I don't want to do anything but fix the first page and let it stand in case anyone wants to look - but I don't want to spend a lot of money.)  Any help will be appreciated.

Hi all,Thanks in advance for any help.  I am a designer for a company that want to have more interesting landing pages than what we are currently able to create using a pre-made system that adds lines of either photos or text. I am looking into dreamweaver as an alternative,  as it creates HTML and a CSS file when saved. I have opened a pre-maid template to test, I copied and pasted the HTML from Dreamweaver to our page builder on visual soft (the website management company), I then uploaded the CSS to a file server on their site. I went through the HTML and changed the location of the CSS to the new location. When I click save and reload the live page it hasn't worked. When I go back to the HTML the CSS lines has been removed. Is this an error that code can't be taken from DreamWeaver? Or any advice?Thanks
