dreamweaver course in - Migrating from Adobe GoLive to Dreamweaver

ReplyMigrating from Adobe GoLive to Dreamweaver
Hi Rich,
One of my delegates yesterday had 3 questions regarding to a transition from a package called Adobe Go Live to Dreamweaver. See if you can help.
1) For a photo gallery page:
How to keep the header (company logo + navigation menu) still, while the bottom half of the page (with pictures lined across) mobile as users scroll across?
2) For customizing window size:
How to set a window size to be expandable?
(I know you can set a specific size on Loading a window with behaviours, but not sure how to do expandable size/ maximized as loaded)
3) For FTP publishing:
Apparently Go Live does not keep files locally, while Dreamweaver keeps files locally and upload after edit. How can she start without files? Or does she need to download everything off GoLive first?
Thanks!
Kind Regards,
Katie Woo

RE: Migrating from Adobe GoLive to Dreamweaver
Hi Katie,
I haven't had any experience with GoLive, but I'll do my best to respond!
1) You can achieve this with frames. Use a rows frameset, with the bottom frame having an HTML page which is long, forcing the browser to have a horizontal scroll bar.
To find out exactly how GoLive achieve it (eg. could be Flash module) I would need to see a URL so can check out the code GoLive generated.
2) I assume you're talking about the Open Browser Window behaviour? Here you can specify the width and height of the window in pixels, as you mention. There are also 6 tick box options, one of them 'Resize Handles' - ensure this is ticked. The user will then be able to adjust the window size if they need to.
The javascript in the HTML code would then look something like this:
MM_openBrWindow('/popup.html','popup','scrollbars=yes,resizable=yes,width=123,height=456')
3) Once the FTP connection settings have been successfully entered into the Dreamweaver 'Site' (get from hosting provider), you can connect to the remote server and see the remote files (on the Site panel, switch the drop-down box to be 'Remote files' as opposed to 'Local files', and ensure connected (press 'connect to remote host' button).
You can then select all files that you see and press the green 'Get' button. This will download all the files to your local machine, and then you can edit them using Dreamweaver.
You can also Expand the remote/local view - see button on Site panel. This shows you all local files on right, and all remote files on left (by default). You can then 'drop and drag' the files and folders, which may be easier to understand.
Hope this helps.
Rich
