Ya that's been my biggest gripe about DWMX. It tends to "decide" what u should and shouldn't have access to...like it's trying to hold ur hand so you don't make a mistake.
Sometimes u just wanna pop open a DB table and reference something...but no! You gotta open a cfm/cfc document first! Hehe...if ur in code view...it should be 'hands off'...let the coder decide... Anyway, go ahead and post the setup u got, maybe we can help... ;) Stace -----Original Message----- From: Charlie Arehart [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, June 13, 2003 10:12 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Dreamweaver MX -- grayed out component tab And is that a CF site? That's important, and you have to have set up the site correctly (configured a testing server pointing to a CF server). Another issue is that DWMX is sensitive to the "type" of the template that you've opened. It has to be a CF page to allow access to the CF components tab (and the database tab, etc.) Is the page that you've opened either an already saved cfm page, or if new, did you use File>New>Dynamic Page>ColdFusion? It's possible that when DWMX opens it's opening with a default type of static HTML. One way to know what type of file you have (especially in an unsaved file), is to look at the toolbars at the top right. If they include "CFML Basic", "CFML Flow", and "CFML Advanced" (at the end of the list starting with "common", "layout", "text"), then DWMX thinks you're working on a CF template. If not, it doesn't, and some of the things you're trying to use may not work as expected. /charlie > -----Original Message----- > From: Jamie Jackson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Friday, June 13, 2003 5:11 PM > To: CF-Talk > Subject: Re: Dreamweaver MX -- grayed out component tab > > > Nope, that's not it.
