I use adobe dreamweaver for doing websites but there is one page on my site that does not synchronize correctly. It will keep going to the old linked page. I have tried putting entire set & that page alone. Also have cleared cache & browsing history. Despite the fact that it works fine in Dreamweaver it will not work online. Any thoughts. Thanks!

On the web host, is the file set to read only?

Have you tried deleting the file off the site before uploading the new page?

I am making a website for someone. They want their portfolio with a password protection, I made the website off of photoshop/dreamweaver. I was wondering if there was a way to passwrod protect just her portfolio tab? Please help. Thank you.

You can CHMOD the file on the site to prevent access or you can edit the .htaccess file to protect the portfolio folder.

I’d like to link Dreamweaver to my website so I can update the page in Dreamweaver and it update my website. Is that possible?

You don’t. You update a local copy of the page, then upload the page to the host computer. You could use Dreamweaver to do that, but swaying that Dreamweaver’s FTP function sucks would be complimenting it. If it just sucked it wouldn’t be so bad. In the time it takes to get it set up properly for most situations (if you already know how to do it), I can write a page and upload it with an FTP client.

I can’t afford to buy dreamweaver right now. What is the best free alternative to dreamweaver that is a wysiwyg/code editor?

Kompozer is EXCELLENT. It’s a visual WYSIWYG editor just like Dreamweaver that requires little coding knowledge (although the more knowledge you have, the better experience you will have). It’s free and open-source, and probably the only really notable one comparable to Dreamweaver.

Opening a website (beside getting the domain and web host) how difficult is to admistrate it? Is "Dreamweaver" a good web development application, what type of web page can create with it, can you tell me any site that was created with "Dreamweaver"? What about putting videos on the web site, have this to do with the web development application? I was planing to open a web page but im not well known with the designation and how to administrate it, i will need some information, thank you.

Dreamweaver is probably the worst "web builder" you could choose. It generates a code that is unmaintainable.
If you open a well written site in DW, it will screw-up the code.

Learn to code: HTML, CSS, javascript, php and mysql.
W3schools.com is your BEST starting point, and is free. YOU have to put a bit of effort…
(But you will become a pro)

I want to buy dreamweaver to build a website and found out about dreamweaver student edition, I am a student so it is a cheaper option but I am not sure what the difference between the original and student edition is?

Hope this helps.

I just finished creating a site in dreamweaver but one problem. Whenever i move the file some of the photos and content disappears. Then when i move it back to the original place all the content comes back. So my question is how do I make the file created in dreamweaver into an HTML document that has all the content embeded in it ? Thanks in advance

Anything pointing to an external file has to point to where that file is on the server. IOW, if your images are in the directory /images, an img tag has to be <img src=".images/yourfile.jpg" /> Dreamweaver will do this for you if you maintain the same directory structure on your development computer and on the server. If you move files, you have to change paths manually.

You CAN NOT have a single file with HTML and pictures. HTML is a text file, pictures are picture files. (You can have all your Javascript and CSS in the HTML file - which is a bad idea for a number of reasons.) Your best bet is to trash Dreamweaver (it’s a $400 piece of bloatware that professionals laugh at amateurs for buying) and learn how to write websites, since you’re going to have to be doing some of the work anyway.

Im tired of entering my username and password into the remote info part of Dreamweaver for the FTP. Does anyone know how to get Dreamweaver to save the username and password, for when I upload my files, the "save password" button it checked

Hello,

I would suggest you use an ftp software. Something similar to Filezilla. You could save your password in that software, create the files in Dreamweaver and upload them using that software.

good luck!

I want to create an entire blog site - user accounts, uploads, the works. I have Dreamweaver CS4, but I don’t know where to start. Any tips?

wow thats a huge undertaking. I dont knwo where to start. take a look at Joomla you can make some pretty cool sites with that without having to code it all yourself.

Every time I restart or shut down my computer, Dreamweaver CS3 deletes all of the websites in my "Manage Sites" window. Also if my computer is on and running all day, every time Dreamweaver is closed and opened, I have to re-enter my FTP username and password for a site.

Is this a setting or preference issue that needs to be turned on and off? Thanks so much!

There can be two issues:

1. Virus (Use AVG free)

2. Corrupt registry (Use Reginout )

I am sure it will help you.
