I can connect to my server from filezilla and aptana but not Dreamweaver? Any tips? The connection is already set to passive rather than active.

There is no way to do so for the connection… Sorry about that…

Good luck!

As i am a noob in this field, i designed my site using Photoshop and the slice tool. I have completed the transition from Photoshop to Dreamweaver, and my files are html, and when i open them they work fine. But now i need to know how do i get the site online?
I have a html file for each page of the site and a folder with the images in, so is there a tutorial i can follow to set it up online?

If you don’t already have hosting, get a host. You can get free hosting at webs.com or you can google search for others. Once you have hosting they will have form to upload your site files.

I’m trying to make a layout on Dreamweaver for my Tumblr. I am getting really confused with trying to link the images to the server. Once I post a picture on Dreamweaver and preview it with Safari, it works, but when I post the html code to the Tumblr page, the pictures do not show up. What am I doing wrong? Thanks!

Tumblr uses PHP and unless you know how to code the page in Code Source mode, you’ll never get it to work very well. Might help:

am new to making websites and am thinking about making one using dreamweaver, what wont I be able to do when constructing my website? What restrictions are there with dreamweaver?

Dreamweaver is such special software used for the web designing and application. It is originally developed under the company of Macromedia but later it is developed by the company of Adobe. It is the software which helps you a lot in the process of creating the website. Before you go further, probably you need to know about some advantages and disadvantages of using this software. There are many advantages of using Dreamweaver for the design of the web page that you want. If you use this software, you will get complete management for the website. The software of Dreamweaver manages the complete feature of the website. You can try to create the link and directory or managing the files for the website since those features can be handled with this special software. The whole feature of the website is supported by this software. It is really useful for designing your website using Dreamweaver.

However, this software also has the weakness. Some beginners find it difficult to master the feature creation from Dreamweaver. It seems too complex to understand for the beginner. The beginners need much time to know about the creation process for designing the feature of the website using Dreamweaver. The patience is something that you need for understanding the feature creation through this special software because you need to know about it for some periods. Mastering Dreamweaver cannot be done instantly. You need to learn it much deeper for the best result of your website. You need also the extra budget to buy the original version of Dreamweaver software. The price of the original software can be so expensive. You should spend much money if you want to buy the original version of Dreamweaver software that is now produced by Adobe. If you can afford to buy the original version, it is really good for your website. Once you try the software Dreamweaver, the appearance of your website will be looked so well. The application and complete features are available in your website as long as you design it with this special software of Dreamweaver.

How to go about setting up a website from creation in dreamweaver to getting online? Just the basic would be good to know, so I can personally research into ti myself. More so on getting the webpage up online. Cheers Cindy.

if you have already created your web pages in your html editor you can upload through you editor as long as you have your hosting details. i use kompozer to create my web pages and it works just fine, it is free to download and is very simple to use. i have given you a link to a resource below which is FREE and will tell you everything you need to know about getting your web uploaded and online for all to see. good luck with your efforts and may success come your way.

So I’m planning on making a website and I wanted to know how hard is to work with Adobe Dreamweaver. I already work with Adobe Photoshop and I handle it pretty well. Is working with Dreamweaver harder than working with Photoshop?

You can’t compare them. They are designed for totally different tasks.

If you don’t understand at least the basics of HTML or CSS and just rely on the WYSIWYG interface then, although the tools in Dreamweaver are good, you’ll never be able to use the program to its full potential.

I’ve got everything hooked up, dreamweaver’s connected to my website etc and so on, now I just need to know how to upload that content in my website? What buttons do I press? Will give 10 points for best answer.

Go to the Site menu then Manage Sites.

You can choose to have your site managed by Dreamweaver or use straight FTP.

It’s pretty self explanatory once you get int that menu - it’s just a question of answering some questions and entering some text.

I can’t give detailed information as I don’t know how the server is set up. Your host should give you the details you need, but it’s pretty easy to do.

I’m not very good with coding. I know some HTML. I’m really good with flash, animation, and actionscript. (creating buttons and interactions with flash) How can I make a good website with this knowledge? I have a domain and everything. I was thinking of making different pages in flash, then putting them into separate pages on dreamweaver and uploading that way. Will this work? Help, please and thank you!

If the site is going to be flash-based, just make all the pages as separate frames (or call them from outside .swfs if they’re relatively large) and run the movie. Other than that, I’m lost as to what the question is.

So I am trying to make a website with articles. In my table If I put a thousand words how can I make that tables height increase automatically?

And how do I insert text from a word document without dreamweaver thinking its a jpeg file?

Please help

firstly, I would never ever use tables for layout as they were meant for tabular data, not layout

but to answer your question, just remove the height element.

second answer is… copy and paste, but paste it into the codeview and check it, the reason you should check it is because word likes to add its own symbols and crap when its pasted like that.
