I have started using CSS3 and HTML5 a lot and Dreamweaver is not correctly showing me navigation, backgrounds, shadows fonts and floats correctly. Live View does correctly render the website and I cannot say that I know how it is that some of the correct rendering from Live View is not integrated into Design View. I also am having a problem with the way Adobe related the properties of CSS styles in the Properties workspace. For gradients, there is a icon which says nothing at all whatsoever about what colors you are working with and no color pick help. Adobe could improve that considerably, even though HTML5 is not yet a standard. Well I guess they will improve the rendering of html5 and CSS3 in the next version. Its always been lagging behind simply bacause the web moves so fast. Design View rendering has vastly improved since css has become mainstream. Personally I just don't use any html tags or css that are not yet mainsteam 'standard'. Gotta hold back a bit until the time is right. I know people like to use css that is not supported in older browsers but my view is the deisgn has to look the same in ALL browsers capable of supporting 'current' css. I'll use other tried and tested techniques if its not possible to achieve this in x-browser purely using css. ... View more

It's a simple conclusion that DWs design view is not up to the job of rendering complex pages. But if all the browsers can render these pages why cant Dreamweaver? Well Dreamweaver is not a browser as browsers arent html software so maybe there is technical difficulties in combining the two. Unless Adobe come out and say which I doubt they will, never have been that helpful towards their client, it will remain a mystery. As I say I've never had much rendering trouble in Design View and could certainly get that website to display in DW using different ccs techniques so maybe thats what they think you should do. ...

Rob Hecker2 wrote: I agree with Bikeman that design view doesn't always render well for me, even for pages that are well built and that are only HTML, but it doesn't bother me. Sometimes design view is useful for locating a tag or some content in a complex page. Design view shows you the various blocks of Div containers and tables on the page, so it isn't intended to be a browser. Obviously you can keep a browser window open and refresh it as needed, so why does it even matter how design view renders? I've never had that much trouble with Dreamweaver rendering html/css going back quite a few versions BUT I know quite a few people post about having trouble. Dreamweaver just doesnt manage ALL variations of css. And quite frankly some of the css I've seen, although perfectly valid, is overkill and I guess that's where Dreamweaver fails or is it the other way around.......I dunno. A lot of pros only use notepad or some other software which doesn't visually render anything. I guess thats where the convoluted css evolves from because they don't require a visual editor prefering to use the browser, which probably isnt a bad idea because so many who use DW never check anything until its too late.

Persoanlly I hate Wordpress with a passion. In my opinion its only for those that want to choose an off-the-shelf designed theme and base their site design on that theme. Pretty restrictive in my opinion. To bend Wordpress to ones own design you have to jump through hoops to do so. I'm pretty good when it comes to html, css and a bit of php but even I found the workflow back to front. Yep if you want to use someone elses design right out of the box use Wordpress. If you have a custom design then steer clear of it and use one of the CMS mentioned by Murray. I favour Perch because its simple to set up and integrate with YOUR design seamlessly. The backend is uncomplex and easy for clients to use unlike Wordpress, which is overkill. Wordpress is either for beginners who know nothing or professionals who know css, html and php inside out. Its not for anyone inbetween in my opinion. ... View more

So far so good but once I click on the Submit button, all I get is the page with No file input specified I see what you mean about no file input specified......unfortunately that could mean anything.

Create a new php page and insert the below between the <body> tags: <?php echo "Hello World"; ?> If php is running then the page will return Hello World. At least that would establish that php is running. If that works then have you tested the script on a different server as it may be that the server is not set up correctly. If both the above fail then you have done something wrong somewhere. Looking at your code its a bit all over the place which might upset the script running. I would copy the original script/coding and paste that in a new Dreamweaver page and test that first. If that works then you have made an error. If it doesn't then your host server is not set up correctly to run php. If I remember Hans did test the original script out on his server and it ran correctly. ... View more

Although this will work you're accessing the jquery scripts from another server so I would get the scripts by browsing out to their location using the url address in the page code.

Here's a simple php solution which uses a Username (Pink) & Password (Elephant) combination. If the user gets the combination correct they are shown a link to the 'protected page', if they get it wrong they get a message asking them to 'go away'. You need your server to be running php to be able to use this method. It's safer than javascript because you can't get access to the Username or Password by looking the source code. <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" /> <title>Password Protected</title> <?php if (array_key_exists('ewTest' , $_POST)) { $username = trim($_POST['username']); $password = trim($_POST['password']); if (($username == "Pink") && ($password == "Elephant")) { $response = "Youre welcome! <a href='http://www.bbc.co.uk'>Enter Here</a>"; } else { $response = "Go away!"; } } ?> </head> <body> <form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="passtest.php"> <label>Username</label><br /> <input type="text" name="username" id="username" value=""/><br /> <label>Password</label><br /> <input type="text" name="password" id="password" value=""/><br /> <input type="submit" name="ewTest" id="submit" value="Submit" /> </form> <p> <?php if(isset($response)) echo $response;?> </p> </body> </html> ...
