    Well, I am going to try to help you in this topic. As it is my first time please be pacient. I have some doubts about your problem. What server have you installed apache, coldfusion, IIS? 

    May I assume that you have connected correctly to the server?

    Are you trying to insert record on a database or offline local page storage?

    Tour page isn´t going to work if you didn´t stablish correctly the databse connection. If that is your problem (the connection with your database) I recomend that you use the database behavior extention for dreamweaver for mosts types of servers. After connecting to the database For fourther help I will need to know what kind of server, asp.net, PHP, etc. you are using.

    Unless you are using a third party extension, you will not get a popup in your version of Dreamweaver.

     

    You could join the pre-release program where work has been done (belatedly) on restoring the behaviours panels. Go to https://www.adobeprerelease.com/beta/9EB451B5-D2E8-46E5-AFA2-78C85442FFA2

     

    Edit: I was trying to keep my cool by not mentioning the idiotic way that Adobe has treated Dreamweaver. Back in 2012, I was promised by the Dreamweaver engineers that the removal of the behaviours panels were of a temporary nature and that they would be resurrected. More than 8 years later...... Have a look at what Adobe are suggesting you do: https://helpx.adobe.com/au/dreamweaver/kb/connect-mysql-database-dreamweaver.html . While there, click on the first two links, namely:

    In other words, Adobe are still relying on third parties to enhance the crippled product that they are making millions off.

     

    Take my advice, do what many have now done and seek another IDE. The most prominent in the group is a free of charge https://visualstudio.microsoft.com/

     

    Personally, I have gone for Wappler

     

     

     

    Wappler is the DMXzone-made Dreamweaver replacement and includes the best of their powerful extensions, as well as much more!

    Hi Ben,

     

    I'm going to say something very unusual for me now, (I'm going to defend the Dw team regarding SB's).

     

    As I said to the Dw PM at the time, replacing the old outdated SB's before everyone had stopped using them, would have caused a lot of confussion, bad and incompatable coding, and made the extensions available for DB's unusable, (e.g. Shopping carts). It would I thought be better if at least 4-5 years passed before any replacement was implemented.

     

    I did not expect 8 years to pass, but then again, given the number of people still trying to use the old SB's, I'm starting to think that maybe 8 years was not enough time between removal of the old SBs and the new implementation.

    Thats easily solved. Confine the SBs to a previous version. Anyone wanting to use old workflows could remain on that version, whilst those that wanted to move ahead could move to the nice shiny new version with the modern SBs. There has been very little to upgrade for in many a year but SBs were always DWs flagship inclusion, somehow, sometime and somewhere, someone at Adobe obviously thought static websites were going to make a come back. I bet that person is no longer an employee. There was and has been a lot of dead wood at DW Adobe over the years, too ignorant to take some advice from those of us that DID use DW for many years, its still happening, hence why DW is dead in the water. Its actually a very poor product given the credibility of Adobe and the high standards expected by users of their usually market-leading products.
