Horizontal Looper not working in CS3

[Axius]

I recently upgraded to Dreamweaver CS3 from 8 and have been unable to get
Horizontal Looper 2 (the version for ASP) to work in this new version.

The extension itself and the settings dialog box appear, but the pop-up menu
to select a recordset is blank. This identical issue occurs on a separate
installation on a different machine as well.

I'm working in ASP VBScript specifically with a SQL Server stored procedure.
I've been unable to get this extension to work, even on pages that I created
with DW8 where in which the Horizontal Looper 2 extension worked without any
issue.

Has anyone experienced this issue or have any suggested workarounds?

I just tried it using DW CS3 and an ASP/VB page .. it worked. No problem.

If the recordset box is empty .. did you make a recordset on the page first?
Since you said it's not working in DW8 with your Stored Procedure, I would
say that the Stored Procedure is probably the problem. The extension works
fine.

Hi Nancy,

Thanks for your response. Are you running CS3 on an Intel Mac as well?

I may have not been clear in my initial post. This same Stored Procedure
did work with DW8, in terms of it being recognized by the Horizontal
Looper 2 extension.

The bizarre thing is that the recordset is showing up as an option when
I use Dreamweaver's built-in Repeat Region dialog box in CS3, but doesn't
appear within the Horizontal Looper 2 extension. I tested this by creating
identical ASP pages which call the same stored procedure within DW8 (Win) and
then CS3 (Mac), as well as reading-in ASP files created by each version. Same
problem with CS3. I've tested several other stored procedures (even simple
SELECT-only statements) and still have the same problem. I also completely
uninstalled and then re-installed the Horizontal Looper 2 extension, but to no
avail.

If there's anything else you could suggest I try, please let me know.

No .. you didn't say what OS. I have Win XP Pro, SP2. So you had DW8
running on Windows and have switched to Mac for CS3? Interesting.

Have you tried using a direct recordset and not a Stored Procedure with the
Horiz Looper to see if that works? It looks to me as if it's not
recognizing the recordset and that could be due to the stored procedure.

If all that fails, you might try writing to Tom directly.

I can't get Horizontal Looper 2 to work with DW 8. I called and talked to tech
support and they said it would only work with the old version of DW and isn't
compatible with DW 8. So is there a different version I should try to get?

Thanks,

Nick

Who in tech support? I wrote the extension, so tech support would be me.
Which server language are you using? I tried it in DW 8 and DW CS3 and it
seems to be fine. It is not supported for ColdFusion. The latest version is
available from here:
