I purchased the Online HTML5 MP3 Management Bundle
Item# 19316 and have not successfully been able to use any of them.
I click on your online help and the first suggestion is "Make sure to setup your site in Dreamweaver first before creating a page, if you don't know how to do this please read this..." It links to a BROKEN link on the Adobe website. This may be where my problem is starting. I receive error after error. You pdf instructions are vague, and your videos tend to start in the middle... I need more help. Especially on how to configure the HTML3 to work with templates, and using the online edit addin.

Error Examples.


Making this change would require changing code that is locked by a template or a translator. The change will be discarded.

While executing onLoad, the following JavaScript error(s) occurred:

At line 468 of file " C.....\commands/dmxUpdateHead.htm": The object is not currently contained in a document.

Hello,

It seems adobe changed the links for setting up the website. Please check this article: www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/first_website_pt1.html

There is nothing special to use the products with templates. You can find an user's manuals on each of the product page.

That link is Dreamweaver 101. Doesn't help. Any insight as to why I'm receiving error messages? Any special permissions I have to add to the pages on the server? Should I uncheck Filter All Scripts if I have Java on the Page? Do I have to configure a database, or is it optional? Your manuals do not in depth about any of the options.

The instructions are the same for each DW versions. This is a basic requirement using Dreamweaver.

There are no any requirements/special permissions you have to add.

Please open the manual OR video tutorial about basic usage and follow each step there - there is nothing more you need to do - just follow the steps described.

If there are any users that are using the HTML Editor 3 and the Online Page Editor Add on successfully, could you please reply, or send me a message? I need to figure out what I'm doing wrong. The manuals are not sufficient. Thank you.

Please provide a live link to the page you are getting this error on.

Please also tell us what exactly is not right with the manual?

The actual pages I'm working with are on another computer. So, I'm trying to get it to work on a fresh template to see if I recieve the same errors.
What I've done:
Created a template. Created my editable region and from Commands enabled the page to have Editable HTML 3 Content. I click on the editable Region and Select the Online Page Editor Add-on. I made the appropriate choices in the dialogue box that comes up including Use all Dreamweaver Editable Regions, etc.
Then I create a new page and apply the Template to the page.
My expectation is that my new pages Editable Regions will have Online Page Editor Features. Here. So...when I browse to site/page I uploaded, and I select Control+Shift+2 ( how I set it up for my pc) I get a popup asking me to save a .sess file to my computer. It's not the Ajax dialog user/pw popup I specified. I've tried the HTML dialog version too. What am I doing wrong?

(This page does not have the errors my other more complicated site has on my other computer but I figure if you can help me get this simple version to work, I could do the same thing on my other computer later.)

Hello Sharena , can you specify in which browser is the problem appearing ?

Hi sharena,

Please tell me what is the server type you are using. What is the Server type that you selected in the Online Page Editor interface and what exactly happens when you enter the keys combination?

@Vulcho: In Internet Explorer I'm getting a popup window asking for a .sess file. In Firebox nothing happens at all. I deleted the code you suggested in a previous post but that didn't seem to help.

@ Teodor: Currently I have the Online editor and HTML 3 set to PHP. However, I have tried ASP with the same result. When I enter the key combination I get a pop up window to save a .sess file. I'm not sure if you can view the image I am including above of the screen shot.

Hello Sharena.

Please edit the following lines of code :

Quote

<!-- InstanceEndEditable -->
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="Styles/dmxPageEditor.css" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="ScriptLibrary/dmxPageEditor.js"></script>
<!-- InstanceBeginEditable name="head" -->
<!-- InstanceEndEditable -->

Should become:

Quote

<!-- InstanceEndEditable -->
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="Styles/dmxPageEditor.css" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="ScriptLibrary/jquery-latest.pack.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="ScriptLibrary/require.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="ScriptLibrary/dmxPageEditor.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
<!-- InstanceBeginEditable name="head" -->
<!-- InstanceEndEditable -->

Regards: Vulcho.

@Vulcho. Thank you. I changed the code in the template and that didn't help. When I checked the html page, it had an instance of the old code, so I changed that as well and tested it. Same problem with the file saving dialog box. So, I deleted the code in the html page so that it wasn't repeated twice in the code and uploaded it that way. Same problem.
BTW. You're the only one giving me any real troubleshooting techniques and I wanted to thank you for that.

Hello,

I see the page that you provided earlier works fine in Chrome/Firefox/Ie now. Can you confirm it is all okay?

Wow... some progress! @Vulcho's code must of worked and needed time to refresh. It's working in Chrome for me. It's not working in Internet Explorer, and I haven't tested in Firefox. Could it be a security setting in Explorer that's giving me that popup instead of the login screen? Perhaps a windows setting on my computer? Any suggetions? So close!!

Thank you.

Hello Sharena.

Please clear browser cache of IE and it will work there also.

Regards: Vulcho.

Clearing the cache didn't work, however I ran Windows updates and now the login appears as it should. Yay! However, when I log in, make a change, and try to save I get an error:

Notice: Undefined variable: newContents in D:\Data\Inetpub\joneca.com\html3test\ScriptLibrary\dmxPageEditor.php on line 89

I have set the FTP servers. Not sure why it's not just saving to the FTP.

Hello,

Please try without using FTP for saving.

Ok... I've unchecked save with FTP and tried. Now I get an error message.

Server Error:
Can not open file for writing: /html3testing.html
Make sure you gave the system user '' write access to it.

Aha! Successful save. Instead of typing ftp://xxxxx.com or ftp.xxxxxx.com (as sthe manual shows) I just used xxxxxx.com in that box and the path with no special characters. Thank you for your help.

I'm still not sure why I'll have to change that code above everytime...and as to why Dreamweaver is not writing the code itself correctly. But, I'll see if I can reproduce again in a new site. Thanks.

Hello,

First - the address of your ftp may be anything. It is not necessary to be ftp://xxxxx.com or ftp.xxxxxx.com. In the manual it is just some example.

And - no you don't have to put these codes every time. DW has to put them by itself.

Would you mind helpiing me with one more page? Same thing is happening, and I double checked the code. Did I miss something? SalonSite
