Addressing Javascript Errors When Working with the Dreamweaver Extension

If the Dreamweaver extension behaves in an unpredictable manner or generates Javascript error messages when performing routine tasks, you likely have a corrupted Dreamweaver javascript cache.  To reset the cache, do the following:

• Close Dreamweaver.    This step is important!
• Browse to the Dreamweaver Configuration folder.  Its location varies depending on the OS and the version of Dreamweaver:
  • Macintosh: /Users/{username}/Library/Application Support/Macromedia or Adobe/Dreamweaver {version}/Configuration/
    Important: Please note that this folder is NOT the /Library/Application Support/... folder; this is a separate folder.
  • Windows XP or 2000: C:\Documents and Settings\{username}\Application Data\Macromedia or Adobe\Dreamweaver {version}\Configuration\
  • Windows Vista or 7: C:\Users\{username}\AppData\Roaming\Macromedia or Adobe\Dreamweaver {version}\Configuration\
• The folder path will include Macromedia if you have Dreamweaver MX, MX 2004, or 8.  Any later versions will include Adobe instead.
  The {version} value depends on your version of Dreamweaver; for Dreamweaver CS3, it will be Dreamweaver 9.
• On Dreamweaver CS4, CS5 and higher, your path will likely include a language folder before the Configuration/ folder, like this: .../Dreamweaver {version}/en_US/Configuration... .  The en_US value will depend on your Dreamweaver's localization.
• In the Configuration folder, locate the MacFileCache-xxxxx.dat file (Macintosh) or WinFileCache-xxxxx.dat (Windows).    The 'xxxxx' value will be a random string of several characters.
• Remove this file
• Restart Dreamweaver.  The cache file will be recreated, and the javascript errors should be disappear.

Note: By default, the settings folders mentioned above are hidden on Windows systems.  To make it visible, you must do the following:

• Open any folder in the Windows Exploreer
• Select Tools > Folder Options.
• Select the View tab in the Folder Options dialog.
• Check the 'Show hidden files and folders' radio button.
• Click OK to apply the changes.
• If you have any trouble or the steps don't match your version of Windows, see this helpful tutorial: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/index.php?act=print&tut=62&client=printer .
