Doubts with controls in Dreamweaver8

How Dw8 shows the controls in design view??

I work a site with php and I have a framework for that.The framework works very nice with dw8 but the problem is the framework's controls not shown in the design view like the dreamweaver's controls (textboxes, checkboxes,etc)

How Can I add the framework's controls to the dw8 design view?

sorry for my english

Regards!

You'll need to define a "Translator".

as I understood from your question that you wrote or designed something using PHP script and what you made is not shown in the Design View ?

If I got it right then the answer is because all the server-side scripts such as "asp,php,jsp,ex...." need to be compiled by virtual server by using some softwares like Apachi or I.I.S. and it will never be shown in Design view because it is not the right environment for those scripts.

I hope that my answer helps you.

Not exactly

This php framework has a php code part and html design part and the framework integrates with dreamweaver8 and the extension of this framework add a new tags controls in the design view The pages of the framework are now (*.page) no (*.html)

This pages (*.page) contains the same of the html pages with new tags controls of the framework but in the design view only the html controls are shown

The *.page files that are already configured to recognize the dreamweaver8

How to the framework controls are shown or parsered for the dw8 in the design view?

for more information the framework is called PRADO

thanks for all

regards

I searched for Prado, and I found out that you write its codes by yourself, and there is no Framework Controls to use it the the design view, but to be honset with you, try to use a newer version of Dreamweaver , try CS3 or CS4 with this Prado and you may find the new version has more integration with this extension.
