If you use the keyboard shortcut without selecting any text, the comment is applied for the current line. If you select text and use the keyboard shortcut, the comment is applied for the selected text.
In addition, Dreamweaver also shows a quick error preview in the line number column of the erroneous line. The line number is displayed in red to indicate that it contains errors, and when you hover over it, a brief description of the error is displayed.
Note: Only the first error in the line is displayed. If the line contains only a warning, the description of the warning is displayed. If the line contains a warning and an error, only the error description is displayed.
Click this option to enter Quick Edit mode. In this mode, Dreamweaver provides context-specific code and tools inline allowing you to quickly get to the code section you need. For more information, see Quick edit.
Use this option to create code snippets that you can save for later reuse. Select the code, and click Create new snippet to make the selected code a snippet. For more information, see Work with code snippets.
The Selection submenu includes various code editing options that you can use on a selected piece of code, such as toggle line and block comments, expand and collapse selection, convert inline CSS to rules, move CSS rules, and print code.
Click this option to navigate to related code sources, such as internal and external CSS rules, server-side includes, external JavaScript files, parent template files, library files, and iframe source files. For more information, see Navigate to related code.
If you click a CSS rule in the Code Navigator, Dreamweaver takes you directly to that rule. If the rule is internal to the file, Dreamweaver displays the rule in Split view. If the rule is in an external CSS file, Dreamweaver opens the file and displays the rule in the related files area above the main document.
The Code Navigator groups related code sources by file and lists the files alphabetically. For example, suppose that CSS rules in three external files affect the selection in your document. In this case, the Code Navigator lists those three files and the CSS rules relevant to the selection. For CSS related to a given selection, the Code Navigator functions like the CSS Styles panel in Current Mode.
Note: When you hover over links to CSS rules, the Code Navigator displays tool tips of the properties in the rule. These tool tips are useful when you want to distinguish between many rules that share a name.
The JavaScript Extractor (JSE) removes all or most of the JavaScript from your Dreamweaver document, exports it to an external file, and links the external file to your document. The JSE can also remove event handlers such as onclick and onmouseover from your code and then unobtrusively attach the JavaScript associated with those handlers to your document.
The JSE does not extract script tags in the body of the document (except in the case of Spry widgets). There is a chance that externalizing these scripts could cause unexpected results. By default, Dreamweaver lists these scripts in the Externalize JavaScript dialog box, but does not select them for extraction. (You can manually select them if you want.)
After you extract JavaScript using the Externalize JavaScript and Attach Unobtrusively option, you can no longer edit Dreamweaver behaviors in the Behaviors panel. Dreamweaver cannot inspect and populate the Behaviors panel with behaviors that it has attached unobtrusively.
Select Only Externalize JavaScriptif you want Dreamweaver to move any JavaScript to an external file,and to reference that file in the current document. This optionleaves event handlers such as onclick and onload inthe document, and leaves Behaviors visible in the Behaviors panel.
Select Externalize JavaScript and Attach Unobtrusively ifyou want Dreamweaver to 1) move JavaScript to an external file andreference it in the current document, and 2) remove event handlersfrom the HTML and insert them at runtime using JavaScript. Whenyou select this option, you can no longer edit Behaviors in theBehaviors panel.
Instead of cluttering up your coding environment with lots of panels and icons, the Quick Edit mode in Dreamweaver puts context-specific code and tools inline allowing you to quickly get to the code section you need.
In an HTML file, place your cursor inside a class or id attribute (name or value) or in the tag name. Quick Edit shows you all the CSS, SCSS, and LESS rules in your project that match. You can edit these rules directly inline, without ever leaving the context of the HTML file.
Code refactoring is the process of restructuring existing computer code without changing its external behavior so that the code becomes more readable, maintainable, and easier to understand and debug. It is used when you have duplicate code, long methods, or large classes in the code. Debugging code saves time because of small functions and proper replacement.
You can refactor code in html, php, and javascript document types. When you right-click on the code area in Dreamweaver, Refactor option appears on the drop-down menu. Refactor consists of the following options:
A multi-cursor view appears on the screen, allowing you to change all the occurrences of the variable. Multicursor improvements selects the next occurence of the current selection. Retype a unique variable or function name to replace the current name.
Use Extract to Function to replace an expression in the calls of a function within a parameter. The default value of the new parameter can be initialized inside the function body or passed through function calls.
Use Wrap in Try Catch to an exception in a block of code that appears as an error after compiling the program. This function wraps the block of code in a try catch block. This block of code is marked as an exception while executing the program.
Select or place cursor at the code, right-click, and select Refactor > Wrap in Try Catch. If you place the cursor at a position, then it finds the surrounding statements, else it checks whether the code consists of statements or not. If there are statements, then it wraps the code in a Try Catch block.
An arrow function is an expression that does not have its own function expressions such as this, arguments, super, or new.target. These function expressions are for non-method expressions, and they cannot be used as a constructor.
In JavaScript, a setter can be used to execute a function where a specified property requires a change. Setters are most often used along with getters to create a type of pseudo property. You cannot create a setter to a property that has an actual value.
I recently installed Creative Cloud on Windows 10 PC. All has been working well. Today I went to run Dreamweaver for the first time and got a "sorry you can't run Dreamwearer at the time... error 205" message. I have uninstalled and reinstalled and restarted the PC several times but as soon as Dreamweaver starts I still getthe error message. Any suggestions?
DW installed without any problem, opened and asked if I was a new user or not, I can even right click on html documents and DW will open them, but as soon as the program opens I get the message that there is an error and it needs to close reference code 205
Makes your code indent automatically when you press Enter while writing code. The new line of code indents to the same level as the previous line. For information on changing the indent spacing, see the Tab Size option in Change the code format.
Most of the indentation options in this dialog box apply only to code generated by Dreamweaver, not to code that you type. To make each new line of code that you type indent to the same level as the previous line, select View > Code View Options Auto-Indent option. For more information, see Set the code appearance.
Determines how many characters wide each tab character appears in Code view. For example, if Tab Size is set to 4, then each tab is displayed in Code view as a four-character-wide blank space. If, additionally, Indent With is set to 3 Tabs, then code generated by Dreamweaver is indented using three tab characters for every level of indentation, which appears in Code view as a twelve-character-wide blank space.
Select this option if you plan to use Emmet abbreviations as you code. Selecting this option ensures that when you press Tab, Dreamweaver converts the Emmet abbreviation into full HTML or CSS code. For more information on using Emmet, see Use the Emmet toolkit with Dreamweaver.
Specifies the type of remote server (Windows, Macintosh, or UNIX) that hosts your remote site. Choosing the correct type of line break characters ensures that your HTML source code appears correctly when viewed on the remote server. This setting is also useful when you are working with an external text editor that recognizes only certain kinds of line breaks. For example, use CR LF (Windows) if Notepad is your external editor, and use CR (Macintosh) if SimpleText is your external editor.
For servers that you connect to using FTP, this option applies only to binary transfer mode; the ASCII transfer mode in Dreamweaver ignores this option. If you download files using ASCII mode, Dreamweaver sets line breaks based on the operating system of your computer; if you upload files using ASCII mode, the line breaks are all set to CR LF.
Addresses a rendering problem that occurs in some olderbrowsers when white space or line breaks exist immediately aftera tag, or immediately before a tag. Whenyou select this option, Dreamweaver doesnot write line breaks after a or before a tag, even if the formatting in the Tag Library indicates that theline break should be there.
The default code folding size is two lines. With this default setting, all code fragments that have at least two lines of code are collapsible. Code fragments that are lesser than two lines can be collapsed only by selecting the code. For more information on code folding, see Collapse and expand code.
