Does anybody else have this probem...?

DW sometimes puts a date in the middle of the body text, or near the "proper" existing date on the page. When the extra date is in the middle of the text it seem to delete some of the text. Sometimes there are a few extra dates.. (I always use a date in a template, so I do not know if this problem exists, if one does not use the date at all.)

This problem seems to exist in different sites.

Another problem: library elements do not always update - yes, they look allright on the DWpage but not in the web.

Check in/out is impossible to use. Is anybody able to use?

Thanx if anybody knows any answers...

Short expert summary tied to the thread: reported stray date insertions, library edits that look right in Dreamweaver but not on the live site, and inability to use check‑in/check‑out. rightly asked about code — inspecting code is an important diagnostic step. The behavior described most often comes from (a) a Design‑view rendering or preference glitch, (b) template/library update or deployment steps being skipped, or (c) site/host restrictions that block Dreamweaver’s remote locking and update mechanisms.

Diagnostic checklist and practical fixes:

  • Confirm delivered HTML first. Open the page in an external browser and view source. If duplicates appear only in Dreamweaver’s Design view, treat it as a local rendering bug; restart Dreamweaver or reset the workspace/preferences before changing site files.
  • Use Code view to identify the inserted date token. If the date is literal text it likely lives in a page or include. If it is a script or server tag, it may come from a template, library item, or server include.
  • For templates and library items: save the template/library item and accept Dreamweaver’s prompt to update dependent pages. If no prompt appears, use the Update operation (templates or library panel) and then check the Files panel for the modified pages.
  • Always push the updated pages to the remote server (Put). A local update in Dreamweaver does not change the live site until files are uploaded; compare local vs remote copies if results differ.
  • Check-in/check-out depends on proper site configuration and host support. Many hosts do not support Dreamweaver locking; when check-in fails, use external version control or a manual locking convention instead.

Additional tips: run a site-wide Find for the date string to locate its source, keep Dreamweaver updated with official patches, and keep a backed-up copy of the site before bulk updates.

Do you have a link? Or is this just a home project.

I can't understand what you mean. What code are you using for the dates?

>Check in/out is impossible to use. Is anybody able to use?

What do you mean. Again do you have any code?

It is not about any code. The question is about Dreamweaver and how it works...

Well what exactly are you trying to do.

Are you developing a flash forum?
