Dreamweaver cs3 will not open frame pages?

Question

I have been using Dreamweaver CS3 since it came out. - I have never noticed this problem before. But today I am trying to update a frame page (one that says put the contents of menu.html on the left and the contents of page.html on the right) ... I clicked to edit it in Dreamweaver. But when I view the source - it shows me the source of the frame's pages.

Does that make sense? ... I want to tell it to display menu2.html on the left instead of menu1.html . But when I click to edit the page - it takes me into menu1.html instead of showing me the code for index.html

Is there somewhere to easily fix this? I do know how to edit in notepad, but that would put in Windows line endings which would mess up the guy I am working with. (I have dreamweaver set to only do linux line endings.) I can install Cream/Vim, but I really prefer dreamweaver.

Answer 1

Just look in the code view - all the content is there although it could be that it's stored in an external javascript file, I suppose - then you'll see a reference to that in the HTML code. Note that such things are very poor for accessibility and for search engines, so are best avoided.

Answer 2

Just use code view and change the 1 to a 2 then save the page.



View, Design & Code if you want to see it in action.

Answer 3

Dreamweaver is horrible, you should be using MS Expression Web.
