Missing features in Dreamweaver CS5, which was in older versions

Is it me or is CS5 less easy to use than the previous versions?  I did most of my work with Dreamweaver 4... with Dreamweaver 8 and only jumped to CS5 because I've saved up enough and thought I could move my abilities with advanced software...

Anyway - I added background pictures in tables in earlier versions and can't find how to change or add new ones to the new tables.  I searched the web and found a lot of sites that claim to have the answer, but after reading their they all seem to be far away from the base.  Again, I've used a work around.  I copied the code in a file to another and then changed the image file...  HTML is not hard... my point is why I started Dreamweaver usning... WYSIWYG functions make it easy.   There was a box to add the image in the box properties... went in CS5

Gone also is the area of height Table...?

How about table background colors and border?  They are gone as well

There are other things missing, but those above is those that I used a bit.

I'm trying to get up to speed with CSS and we hope that it will solve some of my problems with the missing stuff.

My advice to people is, if you're not ready to update your skills, do not waste money update your software.

Personally, I'm happy that Adobe made it difficult (but not impossible) to design with tables in newer versions. I teach Dreamweaver and would never consider teaching students to use tables for anything other than tabular data (although I wasn't teaching not based on a layout table until Dreamweaver began to manipulate the good CSS that was around version CS2 or 3).

But I am sympathetic to your situation. If you do not use the program, you should see on the back of it. It might still be possible, and it's worth a try. In the future, I would recommend to make use of the 30 days trial free Adobe offers before expanding your money.

Do not forget that the world is moving and the old versions of programs are not supported. When you update your computer or operating system, you are llkely to have problems.

  • On Thunderbird 24.6, I can't say to leave messages on the server when I download or delete. Why? Where is this area which was in older versions?

    The messages seem to leave the server after I the download or remove them and they are not visible to the user of the joint account. There was to be a check on previous versions of TBird to leave messages on the server, it has now disappeared, or I can't find it because it's been moved.

    This option is at Tools-Account Settings-ServerSettings but is available only if the account is set up as a pop account. Since IMAP accounts are all server based messages are still on the server, and this option is not necessary.

  • Dreamweaver CS5.5 for the latest Version

    I have currently a copy of Dreamweaver CS5.5 I bought earlier and want to upgrade to the latest version. I know that you are able to update if you purchased an earlier version for significantly cheaper than buying a brand new and want to know how I should go to. Thank you.

    There was formerly a discount for the 'former owners CS' to move to the Cloud for creative method, but it is no longer available now that the cloud version has been around for several years.

    A subscription is currently US $50: pricing and membership creative cloud plans | Adobe Creative Cloud

    You can still get the DWCS6 at a reduced rate for owning CS5.5 here: Creative Suite 6 click on buy now and change your upgrade and select 5.5, it should reduce the price to $125 from $400.

    The problem with getting CS6 is well, it is now something like 7 versions removed from the 'current' and no longer received any kind of updates. It is essentially a legacy software sold "as-is".

  • I updated a page in Muse and realized that it was an older version of my web site. Can I export the site, edit the pages downloaded and opened upward in the Muse?

    I'm so frustrated! Whenever there is an update in Muse and I opened my site it converts it back up.  Tells me to save it as something else, etc... When I finally opened my website to work on it I have updated a page.  Then, after all, I noticed it was not the last one, I worked on because the homepage and other pages are all wrong. Rather than redo everything that I exported the site, put on a page I've finally updated and is there a way to recover Muse? Also, I'm moving a lot.  My site is in my creative cloud folder, so I can go from one computer to the other.  I also have a lot of 'conflict' with the site on my laptop and desktop.  How to spend it?  I think I might have to 'disconnect' each time of computers also is always true?  Thanks for anyone who can help out me.

    So that the file be sure you want to synchronize to creative cloud and down to your other computers/devices, you must close the file in Muse. If the file is opened in two different copies of Muse, you'll end up with warnings of 'conflict' of creative clouds and the file duplicates in your Cloud Files .muse creation folder. A single .muse file cannot be updated simultaneously by two different copies of Muse.

  • Why Dreamweaver CS5 is remove my server login information?

    I had a terrible time with some of the common features of Dreamweaver CS5 does not properly.  Now I have another: she goes ahead and deletes my login and password.  It happened five times in the last three days on two different sites I work on and drives me crazy.

    What happens is that I get an error message saying that the FTP can not connect with the server.  I'm in Manage Sites, and the login and password fields are empty.  I fill them in, and now I can connect to the server.  Then at one time random, it could be later that day, he might be the next day, I get the error message, see Manage Sites and they are white again.

    I updated for Dreamweaver 8 two weeks ago and I'm starting to really, really hate this program.  I lost so much to deal with things which don't work well, and it represents significant income loss for me.  I got in one of the Design Collections, but plans really go back to version 8, which is not a lot of new features, but at least the things everyday functioning properly.

    I am running Mac OS 10.6.4 on a Mac less than 6 months.

  • Creating a slideshow using dreamweaver cs5

    Hi guys, I was wondering how to create a slideshow in dreamweaver cs5, I was watching a guy do in dreamweaver cs4, but I couldn't find the Panel of flash elements.

    Thank you

    Do a Google search on 'a jQuery slideshow' here! A country of the wonders of slide show plug-ins!

    Cool that it's jQuery slideshows, is that they all work basically the same way, once you go through the learning curve of implementation that you will be able to use an any of them. In this way, that you don't have to be locked into a particular look. You can use that will look best for each site.

    Enjoy!

  • Tutorial Dreamweaver Cs5.5 The Missing Manual (Pg 998-1018) about how to add dynamic data to your page

    Hallo,

    I made the tutorial: display of information from a database in the manual missing for Dreamweaver CS5.5.

    My problem is with ' edit a Recordset and linking to a detail Page ' (who starts at pg 1002):

    I've done this exercise, more nowe 5 times, but each time with 'Building the product detail Page' 1007 pg, I get a bad result.

    I have only one page (the one with productID = 1 by default) for each link on the indexpage.

    In the adressbar (Live View), I see the right address: for example: http://localhost/cos...hp?productID=16, but for all the productID only finishes for productID are presented.

    There is also a message: notice: use of undefined constant "productID" - assumed "productID" in E:\xampp\htdocs\cosmo_shop\product.php online 34

    But I don't understand what could be wrong in this line.

    Here are the lines of code 33-48: is is on the second line:

    $varProduct_rsDetails = "32";
    If (isset($_GET['productID'])) {}
    $varProduct_rsDetails = $_GET ['productID'];
    }
    @mysql_select_db ($database_connCosmo, $connCosmo);
    $query_rsDetails = sprintf ("SELECT products.productID, products.productName, products.price, products 'description', products.inventory, products.image, vendors.vendorName FROM products, suppliers WHERE products.vendorID = vendors.vendorID AND products.productID = %s", GetSQLValueString ($varProduct_rsDetails, "int") "");
    $rsDetails = mysql_query ($query_rsDetails, $connCosmo) or die (mysql_error ());
    $row_rsDetails = mysql_fetch_assoc ($rsDetails);
    $totalRows_rsDetails = mysql_num_rows ($rsDetails);

    @mysql_select_db ($database_connCosmo, $connCosmo);
    $query_rsCategories = "SELECT * FROM categories ORDER BY categoryName ASC ';
    $rsCategories = mysql_query ($query_rsCategories, $connCosmo) or die (mysql_error ());
    $row_rsCategories = mysql_fetch_assoc ($rsCategories);
    $totalRows_rsCategories = mysql_num_rows ($rsCategories);
    ? >

    Can someone tell me what is happening here?

    Best regards, years Hekerman

    An undefined constant is normally if you have something like

    $var [sometext]

    Where the "etc" is not cited.  Try to replace the single quotes the productID autour double quotes example: $_GET ['productID'].

  • Search or find target for shortcut missing features in Vista, deleted?

    I just finished a large number of documents, 7 GB, from my old XP computer to a new computer with Vista.  To avoid creating copies of the same file in this big folder structure I created often in many places shortcuts to point to the actual file.  Over the years, some of the structure of file modified and moved the target, so the shortcuts files are pointing to the old location.

    In Vista, whenever I've chaque fois que j' ai rencontre met one of these shortcuts pointing to the old location, by clicking the shortcut creates a "problem with shortcut" error and load the file fails.  In addition, if you right click on the shortcut properties, the button "find target" of XP has been replaced by "position to open the file" and it does not work as well.

    Under XP, it was never a problem.  I tested the old computer to make sure.  Whenever you click on a shortcut pointing to a location on the old XP automatically to find the file and resolve the reference shortcut, which loads the file with a slight delay only.  After closing the file the shortcut would now point to the new location.  The same thing will happen if you right-click the shortcut properties and chose the target of research, he finds the new loacation fairly quickly.

    Is there a reason for this 'Find target' for shortcuts feature has been disabled or deleted in Vista?  Is there a way to reactivate?

    I am running Vista SP1 with Windows Search 4.0.  Windows Search makes it quick to find the target file, but manually having to search and update each shortcut is going to be a real pain.

    I did some research and found this article that explains how to turn off this feature in XP and also to allow it.  I tried to create the same value of registry under Vista to see if it would, but it did not work:
    http://www.pcauthorities.com/Windows-XP/disable-missing-shortcut-search

    I also tried the .lnk associations found here:
    http://www.Winhelponline.com/blog/new-shortcut-Wizard-does-not-work-or-the-option-is-missing-in-Vista/

    Nothing seems to work.  What is it disabled for security or something?  Is there a way to set the shortcuts?

    This feature has been removed from Vista, why... I have no idea :(

    I hope that they (Microsoft) has added it back with Windows 7... which was released in October also ;)

  • Dreamweaver CS5 CSS designer equivalent?

    Hi all!

    I learn from a textbook for the class on Dreamweaver CC and I have Dreamweaver CS5 and I do not envy the upgrade immediately since getting pretty comfortable with CS5. I use CC to school but I do not have access on the weekend, that's why I have a different version. Is the designer of CSS just a feature on CC? And for setting margins I would usually just type the code as well, but I do not see how the code is executed in Live View mode. I'm supposed to be seized:

    margin of {15px20px10px5px}

    Unless I'm that captures quite wrong. In any case! I just wanted to see if there was an equivalent to this user interface type! Thank you!

    CrobiN wrote:

    Yes.  CSS designer panels were introduced in 2013 of CC.  There is no equivalent in CS5 or CS6.

    #selector_ID,.

    {.selector_class_name}

    margin: 15px 20px 10px 5px;  / * use the spaces between the values * /.

    }

    To change, use Design view.  Live View edition has been introduced only recently.   CS5 didn't.
