DW local root folder issues

2009-11-18T19:23:05Z

When I create a new site in DW and choose the local root folder and say OK a message comes up that says The root folder you have chosen contains the folder for site 'client name' (it has named a few different client sites) Synchronization may wotk incorrectly. Proceed anyway? If I don't proceed anyway, I get no new site. When I do proceed, dw PROCEEDS to load every client site in DW into this new one. That is many. I can't have this happening but don't know what to do. I only found out after a 27 minute wait on hold that Adobe wants to charge me $39 to get the answer! When I said no I don't want to pay that, I was told to get it for free on the website. I go to the site, search, 'chat' with tech support who tells me they don't know enough, to call with the case number (and pay). Well, I took the d*!m case number just in case no one here has any idea what is up. Any advice is GREATLY appreciated. *fingers crossed*

Stuck in code view

2009-10-13T16:24:42Z

I'm just learning Dreamweaver and have DW CS3. I'm stuck in Codeview and can not switch to Design view. My tool bar with "common" and the icons are also faded out and don't work. Neither does the title bar. I've opened several pages I was already practicing with and they all open automatically in code view. Is there a setting so that by default, dreamweaver will open in Design view?

Need help using SPRY

2009-10-07T22:42:55Z

Hello, I am not sure if this is the right place to ask for help, my problem is as follows: I am building my first website using Dreamweaver CS4, and I understand a lot of things but I just can't figure out how to use SPRY for the labels, I followed the instructions exactly as the book says, but I can't use the labels on the horizontal, on the vertical they work OK, but I want to use them horizontally just underneath the main title. I have got a couple of books on Dreamweaver CS4, I do exactly as the book says but when I preview them on my browser (IE8), they are overlapping and they don't look right, can someone please help me? Is this the right forum to ask questions on website building? Thank you Lewis

A few questions regarding the use of flash in Dreamweaver

2009-09-16T14:09:03Z

Hi there, I am relatively new to all this web design stuff so bear with me. First of all, after much deliberation, I have decided to use Dreamweaver, instead of Flash, as the foundation of my site. Apparently Google, and other such search engines, still have trouble indexing Flash sites. However, I have designed a dropdown button menu bar in flash which I want to place inside its respective div, in Dreamweaver. So here's the thing. Seeing as there is going to be a fair amount of flash inside my site, how do I use a preloader in Dreamweaver, to load up my flash content located inside my main index page. My friends site: works in this way. But, if I'm not mistaken, this site has been made entirely with Flash.(?) I find this puzzling because the site moves to fit the browser. As I understand it, websites that are are made entirely from flash cannot move inside a brower, much the same way that an AP div works in Dreamweaver. Is this correct?. If not, how is this achieved. Many thanks!,, photoman

embedding audio

2009-08-23T13:31:15Z

I am wanting to embed some audio into my site. I used Insert>Media>Plugin. The plugin box appears in dreamweaver. I am using quicktime so I added the CLASSID: clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B and Base: [url]http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab.[/url] When I go to view in browser (using Firefox) the plugin icon is where the audio should be. When I click on it it says no suitable plugins were found. Quicktime is installed on my comp. Is there something else I need to do to have it recognized? Any suggestions? Thanks!

editing remote linked files? (i'm new to dreamweaver)

2009-08-22T07:21:37Z

i've always been a re-builder, I take templates and distort the crap out of them til i get what i want. I am trying to do a new version of my site with Dreamweaver and noticed something neat but disappointing. At the top it shows the 'linked' files, which is pretty cool, but if i click them it just shows them and says 'this is a remote file and cannot be edited'. Can I make it so I can edit them? I am really enjoying the split view function and it would really help my css coding. I can do this using firebug for firefox and then copying everything, but there are many tiny problems with that which i won't go into i should note i'm aware that it works with local hosted files but I was trying to design the site with someone doing CTRL+F5 across the state.
