I've been working hard to learn dreamweaver. Have a bunch of great videos and reference books, tutorials, etc. But I have some basic start-up questions that I haven't been able to find an answer to. I would really appreciate a little help from anyone here who knows DW and doesn't mind answering a couple of quick questions.

Thanks much!!
 
Super! Thanks! Would you mind emailing me at
hickoryh@centurytel.net?

Your sites are way beyond anything I'm talking about right now. If I ever get to be as talented as you, I'll be in heaven! Looking forward to getting in touch.

I have been learning dreamweaver this summer too as time allows. The best thing I did was to get a subscription to Lynda.com and take the classes from their online library. I think it is $25 a month and you can keep it for one month or continue on. For the same $25 I took a number of dreamweaver classes, photoshop, excel, and a number of others. They were great. I would love to take a month's vacation and just take these and other classes again!
 
Bump.

We are also new to Dreamweaver this year. Question:
We upgraded from GoLive, which allowed us to open folders in both the "live" and on the computer side of the site's main window. When we opened those folders they would open up by themselves, as if in new windows, without the distraction and possible errors made when moving files to and from the live side. Does this make sense? We want to do the same thing with Dreamweaver, but the folders just open up in expanded form below the title of the folder, not in a separate, easy to mainpulate without error, window. Can Dreamweaver do this? It seems like it would be a simple setting, but we can't find it.
 
I can’t answer your question directly, but one of the reasons that I have had to stick with my antique Apple G4 is that I still need to run GoLive under OS 9.

From what I have read, when Adobe bought Dreamweaver, it did a lousy job of creating its “migration” software. Some things like rollover buttons, head actions, etc. do not translate well or at all from GoLive to Dreamweaver e.g. rollover buttons collapse into a single image and some head actions disappear altogether.

When I looked at some of the gripes that GoLive/Dreamweaver users have complained about, I envisioned having to essentially recreate my web site from scratch.

So, I’m not surprised that folders do not behave like they used to or should.
 
BTW, GoLive works with Snow Leopard X.6.8, right up until you make the switch to Lion, I assume. We have not switched to Lion. (Too attached to Eudora)We still use it now and then when Dreamweaver frustrates us. The whole Dreamweaver experience has been time comsuming, to say the least.
