Preloader for index page using dreamweaver cc19.1 and bootstrap

Sun, 12 Apr 2020 02:21:02 +0000

Hi could someone help me please.
I can't get a simple preloader for the main index page going.
I have tried inserting this code:

Loading...

Doesn't seem to work. I am a newbie though. lol
I am using cc19.1 dreamweaver with bootstrap default.
Not including a pre-build layout.

My default index page without a preloader looks like this:

Untitled Document

Testing

Is there a simple way to insert a preloader for this page???

Any ideas very much appreciated

Cheers

DW cs4 editing

Thu, 12 Sep 2019 23:15:32 +0000

Hello,

I am new here and am learning to use Adobe cs4 which I have had for a long time.

I have created a page and when I save it & view in browser it looks and works great.

Problem is: I want to change an image and can not delete, edit, or even get the property panel to show properties for the existing image.

I can't view or edit ANYTHING below the header on my page?????

When I go to live view, it shows all and shows then in split view, but still no editing ability except by using code formatting.

If I don't go to live view, I can't even scroll lower than the header only in script can I scroll lower.

PLEASE HELP.

Thank You Sincerely

Rodney

Opinions To Dreamweaver

Creating Form With Multiple Drop Downs And Emails

Wed, 12 Jun 2013 14:06:53 +0000

Hello,

I am trying to put together code in DreamWeaver that will allow me to have an 12 individual emails added to 2 drop down lists within a form. There are 12 organizations with 12 separate org. managers and I don’t want them to receive unnecessary emails that don’t affect their business. I have looked high and low for help but can't seem to get this to work. I can get one drop down with an email using the attached code but the second one won’t work for some reason. I know I’m missing something simple.

Intent for the form is when sales Rep fills out form fields with equipment to transfer from one place to another. He then selects a Requesting Org and a Shipping Org, which email will go to specific Org Mgr.

* Once Submit button is selected 4 additional people will also receive the request (this will be accomplished using a distribution list) * I have this working on another form, it is the emailing of 2 separate drop down list that has me stumped.

Thanks,

Sparkymom7

This code works:

emailformtest

This code doesn't work and believe me I have tried many different ways to get this to work - I have simplified code here for the sake of confusion.

I had been following the tutorial videos to create a wordpress site in dreamweaver and am having trouble publishing the site. The files have been transferred but I receive the following error message when I type in the url:

*****

I have been told it could have something to do with plugins on the site. Has anyone else come across this issue?

Thanks!

The Dreamweaver Myth

Wed, 25 Feb 2009 16:53:57 +0000

Web design is about code and not about tools. You would not learn how to build a house by learning to use a nail driver right? You would learn using a hammer because it is about technique and planning and not learning tools. One you can build a house you can learn to use a nail driver to speed the process (and easier on your back/knees).

Same here. To start learning, use notepad, that is what I had to use in school (and a horror called Emacs). Learn the code and how to work with it. THEN when you can create web sites, move up to free editors to help speed the process a bit. Eventually if you are serious, you can spend big bucks on Dreamweaver. But trying to learn a program AND code will just slow you down and make you dependent on pushing buttons. So learn to code first and then worry about learning an editor.

Stef's videos are geared towards learning to code independent of what editor you choose.

But unless you want to work in the industry, you really do not need Dreamweaver. I use free editors now. I just used Dreamweaver to know it well enough as this is my profession and it is the standard for the industry and likely what you would use in a company. It makes things easier & faster... not better.

Good web sites are produced by people, not tools.

Alternative Editors for Web Development

Do not fall for the Myth that Dreamweaver makes good sites or is needed to make good sites. You the developer do that, DW is just a tool. Avoid classes that teach DW along with web design. Take a web design class and then take a DW class if you like.

How To Make Your 1280 Video Show Up At 720 Res?

Tue, 26 Feb 2013 19:29:43 +0000

Hi all,

I am rendering all of my videos at 1280 X 720. But at 1280 the size would be way too big for the website (currently 900 pixels in Width)

So I need to take that "1280" video and display it on my page as 720 X 480. When the user clicks on it, it can expand to it's native 1280 X 720.

Any help would be appreciated,

Thanks,

Centering A Spry Menu In A Div

Mon, 25 Feb 2013 13:27:59 +0000

Hello all

I'm trying to centre a horizontal spry menu within a div, I've been looking everywhere to find a solution. I have 6 buttons to fit within a div of 960px, and the only thing I can see is that the spry buttons have to be set at a specified width eg 160px. The problem is the titles vary in length so the width has to be set to auto with padding, so some buttons will be more than 160px and some will be less. but it seems whatever I do my spry menu stays stubbornly to the left.

I can play around with the padding but I think this would cause problems later on when people are looking at the site in different browsers, and operating systems. I use a mac and while it looks OK on my browsers it may not behave as I would hope for viewers using Windows, ie the fonts may resize and force the last button onto a new line or something.

Any help would be appreciated

Multiple External Style Sheets

Sun, 17 Feb 2013 14:37:18 +0000

Hello All

Being fairly new to Dreamweaver and the use of CSS external Style Sheets I need some advice on the use of multiple style sheets for different page layouts in the same website. I intend to have an intro page and main content pages, and will use div tags to centre pages and contain backgrouds etc., so body and wrapper divs would differ from the intro to main content pages.

So is it OK to use 2 style sheets which would be placed in the CSS folder?

Any advice greatly appreciated

The table is at 100% / center. I’ve even tried right, left, and no change.

Im using Dreamweaver CS4 and when I save the file “Save As” it centers it, but when test in my browser, it’s to the right.

What is going on? Image attached.

Is DW CS6 worth the buy?

Tue, 14 Aug 2012 15:12:13 +0000

I like Coda but I use a PC, not a Mac.

I currently have Dreamweaver 8, which is ancient.

Questions:

1. Is Coda available for PC?

2. Does DW CS6 offer the same functionality as I see in Ben's videos (i.e. does the preview option WORK with php and other programming langugages, instead of previewing it in my browser all the time? I don't even use the DW8 preview)

3. Any other recommendations for a PC IDE? I've done some research but I want to hear the praise/disgust from people, not the companies selling them.

Thanks

Getting a mp4 to run

Wed, 15 Aug 2012 12:08:54 +0000

I have Dreamweaver CS5 and relatively new to the program. I used a template form the site and have set up simple information, photos, and navigations. I also have been able to embed some YouTube videos, but I want to add my own video's for the athletes and parents. So I followed your video on putting a video into Dreamweaver.

I had a wmv file and converted it to a mp4 and inserted it per the video, it plays in the preview, but when I opened it on the website itself I get the symblom for Quicktime and a queston mark and it won't play. I do get a prompt asking do I want Quicktime to play, or always from this site.

I can't figure out what I did wrong and why it won't play. I am running on a windows system. I don't know if I need to change the format of the video or not.

If you would like to look at the web site it is penfieldathleticclub.org

I hope you can help

Dreamweaver Wordpress How to select PHP MySQL Server Model

Wed, 27 Jun 2012 05:47:53 +0000

I'm running Dreamweaver CS5.5 on Windows.

I've successfully installed

WAMP (from PHP Basics Course),
Wordpress 3.4 (latest version as of 26 June 2012), and
Dreamweaver CS5.5

I've run PHP on WAMP, I can see my WP site on localhost, and the DW install is fine.

Problem:

Do not know how to set Server Model to PHP MySQL when trying to get WP into DW.

Detail:

in the Dreamweaver and Wordpress: Define A Site In Dreamweaver video,

the version of DW shows an Advanced tab at the top, and

an option to set the Server Model to PHP / MySQL at the bottom of the Server Form.

My Windows installation of DW CS5.5 does not show that on the form.

How do I accomplish setting the Server Model to PHP/MySQL?

Greater Detail--

Wordpress Install:

I installed wordpress to the main www folder and did a second installation to a subfolder:

C:\wamp\www\wordpress\ and

C:\wamp\www\IM University\wordpress (part of troubleshooting).

I went to http://localhost/ and from the WAMP home page,

Clicked on PhpMyAdmin, and created a new website database (called it imdb).

I ran the install script. Form fields follow:

Database name: imdb

Database username: root (says your MySQL username)

Database password: (leave blank) (says your MySQL password)

Database host

Table prefix (if you want to run more than one WordPress in a single

database) wp-

I created the wordpress and logged in.

DW local root folder issues

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 18:12:55 +0000

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*

JavaScript in Dreamweaver CS5

Sun, 06 Mar 2011 21:57:45 +0000

I'm currently using Dreamweaver CS5 to do a complete overhaul of my site. Among the items I wanted to add to the new site is a JavaScript menu bar (which can be found in Adobe Exchange as Spry Menu Bar 2.0. I've inserted it into the page, and, as with a test page I tried with this menu bar, the menu bar in expanded form is the only thing that appears in design view. Upon previewing it in Safari I noticed that it's at the correct height, but it's aligned left. I wanted to align it center, but couldn't find the variable in the code to do so.

My question is the following: Is there a way to align a JavaScript object in Dreamweaver (I'm still a novice; the previous version of my site was done in iWeb), and, on a separate, less important note, is it possible to display anything else in the design view when the menu bar is inserted.

Displays username, but not maiden or last name.

Sun, 06 May 2012 06:53:39 +0000

This just displays the username aka first name. I want it to also display the member’s last name and maiden name if they have one.

/////// Mechanism to Display Real Name Next to Username - real name(username) //////////////////////////

if ($firstname != "") {

$mainNameLine = "$firstname $maidenname $lastname ($username)";

$username = $firstname;

} else {

$mainNameLine = $username; $maidenname; $lastname;

}

I want to display maiden and last name along with the user name. I've tried everything I could think of. Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Scott
