Dreamweaver CS5.5 Notes

Adobe Dreamweaver CS5: The Professional Portfolio

Most of the projects in the Against � e Clock Dreamweaver CS5: � e Professional Portfolio book work exactly as described in Adobe Dreamweaver CS5.5. � e following document details signi� cant changes that occur using the newer version.

PROJECT 3

Page 148, Steps 6–8� ere seems to be a bug in Dreamweaver 5.5, which makes Step 6 result in an error message:

You have to manually enter the video dimensions into the Height and Width � elds of the Insert FLV dialog box before proceeding:

Width: 320Height: 240

PROJECT 4

Page 185, Step 3In our testing, we experienced problems trying to insert the snippet using the panel’s Insert button.

Double-clicking the snippet in the panel correctly inserts the selected snippet at the current insertion point.

PROJECT 6

In our testing, we experienced issues with the Properties panel not correctly re� ecting the properties of the selected object. For example:

Page 248, Step 6 instructs you to select the Password option for the password1 text � eld. Step 7 instructs you to repeat the process for the password2 text � eld.

However, when we selected the password2 text � eld, the Properties panel still re� ected the settings applied to the previously selected password1 � eld.

To solve this problem, we had to click away from the password2 � eld to deselect everything, then click the password2 � eld again so that the Properties panel re� ects the settings for the correct � eld.

� is was a recurring issue throughout this and later projects. When you use the properties panel, make sure it re� ects the object you actually want to a� ect.

PROJECT 7

Page 322, Step 3� e AP Elements panel includes a large number of “unnamed” elements that are created when you add the horizontal menu bar and other spry objects. Simply ignore these, but do not delete them.
