CS2 compatibility problem with demos

If you have this problem, select the link that the Action is attached to, then select Type > Clear styles... from the GoLive menu.

Action problem with GoLive 9 Components

Rebuilding and flattening the CSScriptLib.js file from the Site > Settings ignored the Actions I used in a Component. This problem might also extend to Templates and Stationary.

If you use Actions in Components, check the CSScriptLib.js file after flattening to see if the script has been included.

PeekaBoo_DW 6.1.1 - released August 9, 2010
Bug fix

Fixed a positioning problem when "Center flyout in browser window" was selected.

CyberGallery 7.3 - released August 26, 2010
This version is now available for GoLive as well as Dreamweaver.

Several fixes have been made in this version.

This version now links to a new included style sheet that sets up the style properties of the AP Divs generated by CyberGallerySetup. This was previously done by writing HTML <style> during onLoad. This new method should be more stable.

AutoScroll_DW 4.2.1 - released April 20, 2010

v4.2.1
Fixes

Version 4.2 calculated the wrong values for the clipping box width and height when using the "Screen full" scrolling option. This has been fixed in version 4.2.1.

v4.2
Added feature

Version 4.1.1 could handle up to four scrolling areas on a page at a time, but only one could be an Auto-Scrolling area. AutoScroll can now handle more than one Auto-scrolling area.

v4.1.1
Fixes related to FilmStrip_DW

Fixed a problem with edge scrolling not setting the wrap box left properly after using FrameSwapnRoll.

Fixed a problem with Cursor Scrolling not stopping when the cursor left the film strip boundry.

FileTabs_DW 2.0 - released March 6, 2010
New Behavior

Use this Behavior to design menus with two or three state rollover File Tabs.

Click a tab and it stays highlighted. Click another tab and it stays highlights and the previous tab turns off... just like radio buttons.

Works in a frameset or iFrame layout. Using iFrames means you only have to edit one menu, and all pages using the menu update automatically. See the Frameset and iFrame demo.

FilmStrip_DW set 1.0 - released February 25, 2010
New Behavior

Use this Behavior to design scrolling, FilmStrip navigation menus.

This Behavior set contains AutoScroll, FrameSwapnRoll and SwapFrameSet. These Behaviors were newly designed to work together as a FilmStrip menu system.

How does it work?

When a thumbnail in a scrolling strip of thumbnails is clicked, a new product page is loaded into the browser's window or frame, and the thumbnail for this page is centered and highlighted.

iFrames on each product page are linked to the same FilmStrip menu. When you add or remove pages, you only have to edit one menu instead of one on every product page. A tremendous time saver.

FilmStrip menus also work in a frameset layout where the menu is in one frame and the product page in another.

CyberGallery_DW 7.0.1 - released February 24, 2010
New features and fixes

CyberGallery is even better.

This version includes the scrolling "Zip copyright notice" option for images. You no longer need to buy CopyRightNotice to have this feature.

A new Zoom Image option has been added to the opening effects palette. It starts from zero to full opacity during the zoom. Cool effect.

A new "keyline" Swipe window option has been added. This displays a
1 pt keyline around a transparent swipe window. Nice professional effect. See the Keyline demo.

You can display a mix of Images, QuickTime and Windows movies, and Flash files as either single images or in a slide show.

You can also override the swipe window background image and the caption text properties for selected images.

You can now override the individual parts of Drop Shadow and Caption defaults for selected images.

Positioning the display image at a fixed screen location was buggy and has been fixed.

Several fixes and performance adjustments were also made in this version.

New features

Big fix

A problem with the Zip Notice not working in Internet Explorer for Windows has been fixed.

ChangeOnDate_DW 2.0, TimeImage_DW 3.0 and TimePage_DW 3.0 - released November 20, 2009

Improved time zone calculations

The date and time calculations for different time zones was inaccurate and has been fixed. You can now change page content based on the server's date and time (or any time zone)instead of the user's.

AdGoRound 3.0.5 - released June 17, 2009
Fix.

Fixed a problem with the "New window" option that didn't center the window properly when the window size wasn't entered.

PopulateSelectList_DW 2.0 - released June 17, 2009
New features.

A professional tool for building cascading, popup Selection Lists inside Forms.

PopulateSelectList can populate up to 3 popup selection lists within a Form. Making a selection in the first popup, populates the second etc. You can set both the Text and Value fields of the selections. Values can be a mix of numbers, characters and URLs. You can also set a Default selection.

This is the same type of function used in search engines and other category selection menus.

Use a companion Action like Formatter or VerifyForm to get around the problem of sending Form data to an eMail address.

PassMaster_DW 2.1 - released April 7, 2009
New features

This popular Behavior is even better.

PassMaster's User IDs and Passwords are stored in an external script file which is kept somewhere on your website. Most people won't know how to pry into this file, but it can happen.

You now have the added option of storing passwords that have been encrypted by PassMaster. Only you and the users will know what their real password is.

This new version also has an option to set a date limit for any member. The member will not be allowed access after the date entered in the PMass.js file.

TimePage_DW 2.0 - released March 4, 2009
Update

This versitile Action is even better. You can create week long page display schedules with this new version.

You can now build schedules where certain pages appear during time slots thoughout the day, and have different schedules for different groups of days.

For example you can build a Monday thru Friday schedule to display pages in certain time slots, then display different pages in the same time slots for Saturday and Sunday.

TimeImage_DW 2.0 - released March 9, 2009
Update

TimeImage is used to schedule the display of images in time slots during the day, and on selected days of the week.

For example, if you had a page with a feature about the DJ who is currently on the air, the DJ's image would change as the programming changed, and each image could have its own link. You can link several shedules to the page, and pick on which days each shedule is active.

MenuMaster_DW 3.2- released January 25, 2009
Update

Fixed a problem with the font properties of text strips not returning to their previous settings when the properties were changed in ScrollMenu.

Update

Fixed a problem with the font properties of text strips not returning to their previous settings when the properties were changed in ScrollMenu.

Main menu strips with rollover effects now stay highlighted when the mouse enters the pop-up. The main menu strip rollover effect should not be used in accordion menus.

You can now use any name for the main menu strips so long as the same name is used for each strip. Each name must have a sequential number at the end of the name, starting with the number 1.

Formatter_DW 2.0 - released April 10, 2009
New features

This great time saving Action can now perform simple arithmetic using the values in numeric Form fields. The final result can be formatted for display purposes.

Formatter can submit your Form to an eMail address or to a URL as a delimited data record, or it can be used in tandem with a Form checker like VerifyForm to perform arithmetic.

The Dreamweaver version comes with the "EasyCheck" form validator that can be used to validate user entries before Formatter sends the form.

Try the demo

VerifyForm_DW 4.3 - released Febrary 18, 2009
Update

This professional Form checker is now easier to set up.

This version will highlight the text of input objects that are contained within <label> </label> tags with the error color, making it easier for users to spot their errors.

Expanded the filled in also option to include text fields, text areas, select-single, select-multiple, check boxes and radio groups.

Changed the error painting for the "Filled in also" option. Now only paints the filled in also field if it's not correct... not the first field.

Fixed a problem with error painting text inside <label></label> tags not working in IE Windows. IE doesn't follow normal convention of placing the "value" portion of property pairs, inside "innerHTML" text, between double quotes. VF now checks for both.

RemoteFrameSet_DW 2.0 - released July 19, 2009
New Behavior

Force visitors to view single frameset pages inside their frameset.

New Behavior

It can also be used to load custom style sheets for different platforms like Mac & Windows, Mobile and web TV.

ChangeOnDate_DW 1.0
New Behavior

This Behavior is used to schedule the display of pages, background images, images and image links on certain dates.

For example you can schedule new images on May 1, 2008, then on May 2, 2008 and so on. Or you can simply let the images run until another change is scheduled. Great for automating the changing of holiday images or Banner Ads etc.

TrafficMaster_DW 2.0 - released July 26, 2009
New Behavior

Re-directs visitors who try to access certain interior pages directly from a search engine.

If you want keep visitors from seeing some pages before viewing a qualifying page first, then this is one way to do it.
