Hi,

I have recently upgrades from Windows 2000 to Xp and have had to re-install DW.

Now, whenever I start DW, I get this error message:

'The following javascript error(s) occured:
At line 56 of file "C:\programfiles\macromedia\dreamweaver
8\configuration\shared\common\scripts\dwscriptextdata.js'
ReferenceError: DWScripts is not defined'

I notice also, that while inserting FW HTML with pop-up menus, I get three
buttons on the left after navigating to the file, that all say 'alt' - didn't
have this before.

I have Java on my machine....

Any ideas?

TIA

You really should not ever use FW HTML with pop-up menus. They lead you
down long, dark, twisty alleys.

I presume you mean javascript.

It is common misunderstood or myth that Java is just like Javascript. It is totally different meaning. Java is applet while JavaScript is a script program.

Not at all. The new participant in this world has seen both terms used, has
no understanding of what either means, or the difference between them, and
simply confuses them. There is no myth....

And Java is not an applet - it is a full-blown programming language.

Hi Murray,

Four things really.

Firstly, thank you for the java(script) fix. It has worked.

Secondly, we have had this conversation before but I have had perfectly
satisfactory results with the pop-up menus. What do you suggest? PVII and pay
for them? And for those of us with little money? I am a point and click
merchant, for your guide, and coding is of no interest to me whatsoever.

Thirdly, I get the distinct feeling from your posts that you think you are the
all powerful DW/Macromedia Guru. Please don't take offence but there are some
of us that are not blessed with the knowledge that you seem to have (perhaps us
'new participants')

Fourthly, I now have lost the ability to save FTP usernames and passwords in
DW under XP. Does this also have something to do with the java(script)
abberation?

TIA
