My experience was similar. The most reproducible error I ran into was when we have JavaScript files saved with a cfm extension. Perfectly valid thing to do but Dreamweaver didn't like it and really messed up our code very time we saved a file. The problem occurred only when there was absolutely no CFM code in the template. If we added some CFM code to it, then Dreamweaver stopped messing it up.
There are a few known bugs that cause issues like this (although I'm not aware of the specific scenario you explained). Yes, they are very disconcerting. In my opinion, the mere fact that Dreamweaver mangles code internally (by design, not by error) and then expects to re-output the correct code in all cases when you save is far fetched. I saw Christine responded here already so MM is aware of your concern, but I would still suggest making an official bug report through the wish form. http://www.macromedia.com/support/email/wishform/?6213=6 Sam -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, November 18, 2002 2:04 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: DreamweaverMX Bug? Thanks Sam - I indeed did verify that all the tags were nested properly. The way I found the bug was actually saving the working template (which I initially wrote in CF Studio v5) in DreamweaverMX, refreshing in my browser and noting the ensuing page error. Opening the page in CFStudio, I quickly saw what Dreamweaver did to mess up my code. It took me saving it in CFStudio again to fix it (although I am sure notepad would have worked equally well). If I opened it in DreamweaverMX, made NO changes, then saved, it messed up the code again. I tell you what, this is a really disconcerting problem and one that Macromedia had best look into FAST if they expect any ColdFusion developers to take a serious look at DreamweaverMX. I mean what the heck is going on that the software is MOVING my lines of code around in my template on save?? I have reported this as a bug to Macromedia. -Grant ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq This list and all House of Fusion resources hosted by CFHosting.com.
