Dreamweaver 4 cannot open a file with no extension, like index_html, in WYSYWIG mode, though it can open it using the HTML inspector. [snip]

i have a way around this which will shortly be at the following url: http://www.zope.org/Members/careymatt/dreamweaver_dtml_objects basically its an extension for dreamweaver, which once loaded using the extension manager, will let the application understand (to some extent) dtml tags. some of the 'features' include: -- you can see your dtml page in the wysywig view (though if you have your body tags and any stylesheets in a common html header it won't pick them up). in most cases this will only cause problems with the look of the page -- it won't flash up dtml tags as unrecognised code and write them into the body of the page, thus ruining any page layouts -- common dtml tags represented by different icons -- a dtml pane in the objects palette from where you can insert a dtml tag i have a few things left to finish plus the installer file, which is taking a while as there are a lot of files to insert into dreamweaver. hopefully in about a week this will be available for everyone to use and give me feedback... cheers matt -------------------------------- Matt Carey Text Matters 37 Upper Redlands Road, Information design: Reading RG1 5JE, UK We help explain things using phone +44 (0)118 986 8313 .language fax +44 (0)118 931 3743 .design email matt@textmatters.com .systems web http://www.textmatters.com .process
