Hey kids, this is definitely one of the weirdest bugs I have ever clapped eyes on.
Not for the first time, I was happily authoring CSS and Dreamweaver CS3 crashed. Turns out, it doesn’t have to be specifically CSS, but that was my situation anyway.
The crash
Something feels a little too familiar: this is DW after all, and those of us who have used it from the start will know the pedigree. But I try to restart the program anyway: it’s 1am and I don’t need this. Nope, fail. There it is, unequivocal and painfully blunt: Dreamweaver CS3 won’t start on Windows XP.
The following options were available:
- Abuse someone at Adobe
- Reinstall Dreamweaver
- Try to clean out my config files so that Dreamweaver has to create new ones on restart (an old and occasionally successful solution)
And the answer? None of the above.
Here we are with this veritable portent of disaster: in these times of quad processors and 32-bit colour, has the long-exorcised ghost of DW’s buggy past returned to haunt us?
Sort of, but the fix turned out to be simple, if somewhat obscure. I shall elaborate in a moment, but first I must attribute my source. In August 2007, Adobe Community Expert and author David Powers solved this profoundly ugly problem in the Macromedia.Dreamweaver Google Group.

Recently, I have upgraded to Microsoft IE 8 and may have discovered an interseting problem.
When installing Live Mail, the system may default the boolean for "Leave a copy of message on server." to FALSE. I run a copy of this in two locations keeping my secondary location's flag to TRUE and my laptop to FALSE. Over the weekend I noticed that I had little email activity. This morning I drove out to my secondary location and found my LIVE mail client open and my flag FALSE. Prior to the upgrade from the Beta to the RC version of IE 8 it had been verified to be set to TRUE.
For what its worth.

Back in the olden days of CFML there was a script called CF_Select_Two_related. It allowed you to select from one dropdown <select > and populate the second dropdown <select > with related data from a query. 10 years ago it was really cool.
But now in ColdFusion 8 you can use the bind attribute and bind to a cfc passing data to it from other cfselects. Its AJAX so no page refresh and its very cool and useful. However, there is one pit fall you must know.
If you have so much as ONE comment in application dot cfm or cfc, the bind onload function will fail and the your cool dropdowns will just sit there.
Hopefully there is a plan to fix that in CF 10.
Here is an example from: http://blog.web-shorts.com/post/cfselect-binding-and-selectedvalues
<cfselect
name="city_id"
bind="cfc:cfcs.Remote.getCities({inventoryDetails:state_id}, #MyProperty.getCity_ID()#)"
bindOnLoad="true"
value="ID"
display="CityName"
/>
Remote.cfc
<cffunction name="getCities" access="remote" returntype="query" hint="Returns a query of cities for a specific state">
<cfargument name="state_id" type="numeric" required="true" />
<cfargument name="selectedValue" type="numeric" required="false" default="0" />
<cfset var rs = "" />
<cfif Val(Arguments.State_ID) IS 0>
<cfset rs = QueryNew("ID, CityName") />
<cfset QueryAddRow(rs) />
<cfset QuerySetCell(rs, "ID", 0) />
<cfset QuerySetCell(rs, "CityName", "Choose a state first...") />
<cfelse>
<cfquery name="rs" datasource="#DSN#">
SELECT
ID
, CityName
FROM (
SELECT
ID
, CityName
, CASE WHEN ID = <cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_integer" value="#Arguments.SelectedValue#" />
THEN 0
ELSE 1
END AS Sort
FROM City (NOLOCK)
WHERE State_ID = <cfqueryparam cfsqltype="cf_sql_integer" value="#Arguments.State_ID#" />
) d
ORDER BY Sort, CityName
</cfquery>
</cfif>
<cfreturn rs />
</cffunction>
