DW4 - application popup problems

solid gray boxes

[heinzieee]

Hi,
When I try to add a behavior, the application pop up window has no fields, no buttons - it's a solid grey window. I've tried allocating more memory to DW, also trashing preferences & restarting...
Punchline: i CANNOT find my install disk to reinstall. Am i screwed? (Aside from hand-coding everything)
Thanks.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld [webmasterworld.com], heinzieee.

Did you check out the Macromedia support site for Dreamweaver?

http*//www.macromedia.com/support/dreamweaver/

They have a ton of troubleshooting information, support, patches, downloads etc. Hopefully something there will help you. It does have the sounds of something a re-install would fix though :(

Also, was this behavior something you downloaded from Macromedia as an extension? If so, maybe a reinstall of just the extension would work.

What are you trying to add a behavior to? I think you can only add a behavior to be to a link of some kind, although now that I think of it, you can add a behavior to the body tag (preload images).

Try selecting (highlighting) a few words, then in the Property Inspector type this into the Links field: javascript:;

The selected words will resemble a link. Now right click the "link" and try adding a behavior to it.

have u upgraded to 4.1?

Make sure you have the latest patches - otherwise, your symptom is indicative of a lack of memory - DW is a huge memory hog.

It's after i click any of the standard behaviors, and also with things like "insert rollover image". i'm actually seeing the OK/cancel buttons, just no fields in the popup box.

i am still on 4.0, no patches

i am also on a graphite ibook (366 processor), maxed out at 320 MB ram, so memory is my guess too... no problems on my desktop machine

i am surfing macromedia troubleshooting

richardb,
A friendly heads up:
That's the same solution I offered in message#3.
"javascript:;" is supposedly more browser friendly (probably a Netscape 3 issue) than doing the # thing.
