Hello everyone! A common problem for Vista users with Dreamweaver MX is the “Insert>Tables” function; it simply will not work. I have already posted two articles on this issue providing some fixes for the issue. In the first article, I show how to make the “Insert Table” function actually do something and that is insert a table. The only problem with THIS fix is that it doesn’t allow you to change the specs before the table is inserted into your Document. The second fix is a tip given by a user, and another tip given by me which has worked for a decent ammount of people, but not all (for some it only worked temporarily, then the problem occured again.) In this tutorial, I will be giving a new fix which will make the “Insert Tables” function work like a charm.
Recently, I have posted the article “Dreamweaver MX and Vista: Inserting Tables Fix” which has become one of the most popular recent posts I’ve written thus far. This post shows how to get the Insert>Tables function in Dreamweaver MX to work in Vista – specifically Vista Premium (but should work with other versions.) This has been a huge help to readers across the globe and I am thankful that I have been able to help so many people.
As you may know, FunkyTower.Com is not just about me helping you – the goal is to get you involved by offering ideas for content, solutions to problems, etc., that are all submitted or asked about by you. This happened recently, thanks to Phil Chave. Phil sent me this e-mail which may solve the ever so frustrating Inserting Tables problem in its entirety:
If you’ve upgraded to Windows Vista and have installed your old Macromedia Dreamweaver MX, you are bound to run into some compatibility issues. For many web designers, using tables is a huge asset for designing a web page. Though you can do many of the same things using <div>, tables is fairly easy to use. The only problem is, Dreamweaver MX and Vista = no inserting tables. Is there a fix to this problem? Why, yes there is.
Adobe is now the number 1 source for just about any type of visual software. Whether you’re a web designer, filmmaker, photographer, recording artist, animator, cartoonist…Adobe has software that could be essential to you. Sadly, the prices are so darn expensive!! But because I’m a web designer, I just had to try the new Dreamweaver CS3, so here are my thoughts:
What does it mean to be Valid XHTML 1.0/CSS Transitional?
Quite simpley, it shows that a given website is built with the quality and precision needed to be compatible with any given web browser. In this case, it shows that FunkyTower takes the time to make sure that you get a quality product.
When we say FunkyTower is based on a firm belief in quality for the price, we mean it. It is our belief that if any web designer does not have these two icons on their website, they are not fit to serve you as professionals. The same qualifies for FunkyTower: we will not claim to provide quality for you if we can't even provide the same perfection for ourself.
Use the above to keep up with FunkyTower's posts on your own homepage. Is there a place where you would like FunkyTower to feed? Send me an e-mail and let me know!
