Ahh, Murray's favorite solution.

I did not know problems with that file could manifest in this way. Good
to know.

Hi,

I find the problem and the solution

The problem is the Dw cache file.
To remove the Dw cache you must delete the Dw cache file located in the Dw configuration folder:

Configuration folder location in windows computers:
C:\Documents and Settings\<User>\Application Data\Adobe\Dreamweaver 9\Configuration\WinFileCache-xxxxxx.dat

Configuration folder location in Mac computers:
On Mac OS: Macintosh HD:Users:MAC_User:Library:Application Support:Macromedia:Dreamweaver MX 2004:Configuration:MacFileCache-xxxxxx.dat

Hi,

The extension is "AdvancedMail" and is in the MM exchange
No I don't write any DWnotes, I write some info in a text file inside the folder of the extension.

Hi,

I had a similar problem too.
- An extension occurs Javascript error.
- I uninstall it using Extension Manager.
- I revise little and install again.
- The error of old version is available yet.
- (My environment is MacBook and CS3.)


In my situation,this command helped me.

To reload extensions
1. Control-click (Windows) or Option-click (Macintosh) the Categories menu in the Insert bar's title bar.
2. Select Reload Extensions.

Thanks for clarifying. So the Extension is your own invention? Are you
writing any code to DWNotes?

Hi,

Yes when I open the Js file it is the new proper file but Dw use the old one and after I save it with notepad Dw use it, the bew one. Not after a reboot, the reboot don't fix the problem
I find this problem also in my client computer.

I have no idea what might be causing this. You are saying you can open
the js file and it is the proper, new file, which when you force it to
be saved, now becomes the active js file ? This after a reboot? No clue.

Hi,

Yes, I also restart the Pc and same problem

I resolve the problem if I open with notepad the Js file and make some medifications and save it, after I restart Dw and now it load the right file.
But this is not a good solution
