Contribute CS3 issues

[jml01]

Am a bit new to the Web publishing world, but am familiar with the pc realm. I
just installed Master Collection CS3 and was playing with Contribute. I
applied the CSS patch to Contribute. Problems are:
1. a. If I connect to a local site, edit a page, publish, and get another URL
from the home pages, gtg
b. If I go to a remote site, do not connect, then go to homepages url,
gtg.
c. If I go to a remote site, connect, regardless of what else I do, the
remote site page will stay in the Contribute browser page. If I get another
URL from homepage, browser stays the same, unless I hit edit, then selected
site comes in. Once I discard or publish, remote site page reappears.
2. When I preview in browser, (Firefox, updated), firefox windows up, but it
is blank, no matter local or remote site.
I am running XP pro SP2 completely updated, defragged and reg cleaned. Only
problem so far with programs except for CSS warning appearing on Dreamweaver
home page after I installed fix.

Any ideas??

Thanks
Joe

Hi,

Let me make it little clear.

I belive that you are doing the following steps:

1. Browse to a URL
2. Connect to create a connection
3. Edit the pages.
4. you see pages that are being edited in the pages with the Browser -
pointing to the remote site.

The page might be the index page in remote site which is the welcome page.

5. Are you able preview the pages in browser (firefox) before publish?

Thanks,

Hey Rads, Thanks for reply.
This is the 2nd problem. The answer is no, I am unable to preview at anytime
in the browser. The browser comes up with a blank page. Not sure if it is
related to problem one.

I changed the remote site to eliminate the Flash and the associated js, and
did not have the first problem. Will try to nail it down. Wondering if it is
the CSS fix.

Hi,

Could you please list out in steps of what you are trying to do? As i am not clear would require the complete scenario of what you are trying to do.

Thanks,

Hi Rads,
For problem 2, I was editing a page in Contribute, and wanted to use the
preview in browser function. When I did that, Firefox came up with an empty
page. I have since contacted Adobe on this, and they recreated the problem. I
changed to IE as default browser, and preview works ok, so it looks like a
Firefox issue.

The first problem is when I connect to a site that has a flash movie, the
homepage for that site stays in the contribute browser window, even if I select
a different site. This does not happen if I do not connect to the flash site.
I am doing some more troubleshooting on this. It is not a CSS issues as I have
reverted to the pre CSS fix file
