Dreamweaver 8 Forum

I got Dreamweaver 8 successfully running with Crossover Office 6.0.1 under SuSE 10.2.

I followed the installation prescription given by "luis@jazzmelody.net" in this forum for Dreamweaver 8.
See the contribution "Successfull install on SuSE Linux 10.1".
(Note, however, that there is an obvious small mistake in the third copy line Luis describes - the folder "Application Data" is omitted on the .cxoffice side. The correct sentence should therefore be

Copy the "Macromedia" folder from C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\ on Windows to ~/.cxoffice/win2000/drive_c/windows/profiles/All Users/Application Data" on the Linux box.<<< )

I just copied the files from a regular Dreamweaver installation on a Windows XP system (actually an XP installation on a virtual VMware machine running within my SUSE 10.2 Linux).

As I have a personal installation of cxoffice under my home directory my shortcut to start the application is:

/home/USERCHANGETHIS/cxoffice/bin/wine --bottle "win2000" "/home/USERCHANGETHIS/.cxoffice/win2000/drive_c/Program Files/Macromedia/Dreamweaver 8/Dreamweaver.exe"

I have loaded some of my Web projects into the Linux filesystem and created corresponding Dreamweaver "sites" for them. Preliminary testing was quite OK - I did not see a problem. Testing of the developed pages by calling the "standard browser" from within Dreamweaver works correctly.

Tested a little bit more - especially form sheets with checkboxes and radio buttons.

The preview of such HTML-pages within Dreamweaver in a Wine environment is incorrect in so far as both checkboxes and radio buttons are displayed wrongly in Dreamweaver's design preview area. The position of the tag element is correct as one can see from its displayed border - the button or checkbox image, however, is displayed too far below. This effect does not occur in a real Windows surrounding.
Input fields on the contrary are displayed correctly.
