Tabbed Coded Windows With Dreamweaver Layout? - dreamweaver

Can anyone tell me if there is a way to manage more than one website in Dreamweaver at the same time? As I understand it now, every time I need to get a page from a website, I have to change the current site by selecting another site in the Files dropdown... Is there a way to have something like "tabs" where you can instantly switch between different websites without having to click the Files drop-down, select the website, wait for FTP to connect, and then browse that website?

I am using Adobe Dreamweaver CS6 and when I open multiple webpages, they are on tabs already. On the fist screen shot i provided, you can see that index.html and album.html are both opened. If you click on the restore button on the active window (icon encircled), it is manageable like the other image I attached.

xPage as Welcome Page

I am trying to setup xPage as Welcome page for notes client and to be deployed via policies. Only issue it opens up 2 window, one which is Bookmarks.nsf frameset and second one is the xPage. Tried many different ways to close frameset, but some internal setting doesn't like this since its a welcome page frame... any ideas or if somebody has done similar project.
I tried opening a view thru welcome page which opens up the xPage and then to close the view in Postopen event, but no luck. also tried same with Form.
Appreciate help .. badly stuck in it.
One way to do that is:
open your xpage in the client
right click on the tab and create a new bookmark for it
right click on the newly created bookmark and click "set bookmark as home page"
I don't know if you can do that via policies, but at least it works if I do it interactively
You can set this by policy by adding to the ini
StartupDB =
That will load the NSF every time the client opens. This command does not respect the enforce flag as its enforced by default, do not set the enforce flag...
You can also set the nsf to replicate by policy so remote users will be able to open it as well.

Can't add webpart to SharePoint page

On my sharepoint site I am unable to add an existing basic webpart to a page where I've added webparts before. I am a site owner. I am using IE 8. I also work remotely using VPN.
The strange thing is IE won't even open up the EDIT MODE.
When I use Google Chrome, it is able to open up EDIT MODE, and it was also able to open up the Add Web Part popup, but when you actually select a web part and press ADD...nothing gets added to the main page.
The extra strange thing is from Google Chrome, I am able to delete and modify existing webparts.
I've upgraded to IE 9 and the same issue still happens.
i assume the similar issue you would be facing with firefox it seems your css is not compliant with IE8 try using ie8 in campatibility mode or use following querystring parameter at end of ur url
toolpaneview=2 and see what is the result
I had that problem and it appeared that a CSS file was messing up with the Ribbon controls.
Try to disable a CSS file at a time.

We had this issue (or at least a very similar one) where, in edit page mode, clicking on 'Add a Web Part' had no effect. I was assuming that it is a JavaScript issue. In, I beleive, the same day, it effected both my Production and DEV Site Collections, in IE8, Firefox and Chrome. We restarted all of our servers and ran the config wizard. No good.
We were able to create new pages which seem to be uneffected.
For an existing page, our workaround is to edit the properties of the page, then, down at the bottom, select 'Open Page in Maintenance View'. Select one of the Web Parts and Close it. Note: It seems as though if you unselected the 'Allow Close' checkbox, it wont be on this list. Then click on the 'Go Back to Web Part Page'. Click on the zone where the closed Web Part was. You may now be able to 'Add a Web Part'. If so, the last Web Part folder on the left will be 'Closed Web Parts' which I beleive you can put back (Open) the closed Web Part.
I have see this issue occur when someone else has the current page open in edit mode. Until that person either checks in or undoes there checkout you will not be able to edit the page.

Why can I not enter Edit Mode on my custom pages in SharePoint?

I have a very strange issue I just cannot figure out. I am not able to enter Edit Mode on my custom pages. Appending my URL with ?ToolPaneView=2 does nothing. Manipulating the Site Actions button to custom content and changing the MenuItem_EditPage to get the Edit Page button back bring the page into some kind of edit mode with the "Exit Edit Mode" button but still no toolbar or ability to manipulate web parts.
Anyone seen this before?
Thanks
My experience was that the page was created with the SharePoint Server Publishing feature turned on. The site feature was later deactivated and the page could not be edited. Re-activating the feature enabled editing.
I had it once when the page was checked out by the system user.
Discard the current check-out (and lose changes) and I could edit the page again.

Dreamweaver - template not recognising child files until they are opened

I've got a new section for a website which I have generated for a data source and it has markup for using a Dreamweaver template.
When I add the new files and folders to the site , then update my template , it doesn't find the new files to update.
If I open one of the new files , make a change in the template , then it recognises the new file is using the template. So it's almost like I have to touch all the files with Dreamweaver first.
I've tried to open all the new files which need to use the template but then Dreamweaver CS4 crashes, I presume because of the number of files it's opening.
Anyway, does anyone know if there is a way to make Dreamweaver recognise that a block of new files belong to the template , it doesn't seem to just work automatically
Thanks
Chris
You can force Dreamweaver to recreate it's site cache, which should cause it to recognize the newly added files. You can do this by going to:
Site -> Advanced -> Recreate Site Cache
Or on the Files panel, click the Options menu on the upper right of the panel, select Site -> Recreate Site Cache.
If Recreate Site Cache is disabled in the Site menu or on the Files panel options menu, then the site cache has been disabled in the site definition. Go to: Site -> Manage Sites..., select your site, and click Edit. IN Dreamweaver CS4 on the Local Info category, there is a Enable Cache checkbox, check it and click OK. IN Dreamweaver CS5, you'll need to expand the Advanced Settings, and then select Local Info, and check the Enable Cache checkbox.

WebBrowser Control: Is there a good documentation on browsing local files and folders?

I am using the WebBrowser control to browse local files and folders, but the control seems to be designed primarily to browse the Web (as its name implies).
I need to be able to do common tasks, like using the "Up one level" button, or put the control in "File Search" mode, get the active item, etc.
Is there a way to do these things using this control?
Is there a comprehensive documentation somewhere to explain local browsing using the WebBrowser?
Thanks all.
Here is a good intro that should help you get started on this. Most of the work with this dialog will be done by the browser, you need only to prompt it how to open the dialog.
I think you may be confusing the WebBrowser control with Windows Explorer.
If you want to browse around your local file system, then you need to add an Open File Dialog to the form containing the Web Browser control, then have a button of some kind open that dialog to locate the file to load into the WebBrowser control.
