Dreamweaver Errors in Javascript and Show Pop-Up Menu (Bad) Behavior

Okay, I’m working on my first project in web development. As usual, the tools that I am using were Macromedia Dreamweaver 8, because it is a WYSIWYG editor. My last night’s objective was to create a drop down menu, so, it’s very easy with Dreamweaver because it has a behavior included known as “Show Pop-Up Menu”, recently the Adobe has acquired Macromedia, and the new Dreamweaver has no more pop-up blues, it has Spry menu (a JS driven menu), which also makes it easier for you to create vertical or horizontal menus, drop down menus, etc.

So, everything is working fine with my Dreamweaver, until this morning, I am receiving this error at startup (I did not have screenshot, but I’m writing it here as it is).

In file ""RecordsetFind"":ReferenceError: findRs is not defined.

This is annoying. But I don’t care at all since what I’m supposed to use is the Show Pop up Menu behavior. Just when I thought it’s ok, it’s not. The Show pop-up menu function don’t work also, there’s this Javascript error, and wants me to check if ever I have move some file, to my knowledge is no.


So, what did I do, I uninstall and then reinstall, and it’s still there. I searched right away in Google and find this website from Adobe Knowledgebase, and it work perfectly for me.

The only thing I do is this:

Delete FileCache.dat files from the Dreamweaver user configuration folder.
Delete the WinFileCache-7A9586CB.dat, MacFileCache-BFE7CE2E.dat, or FileCache.dat file from the Dreamweaver user configuration folder. It is recommended to delete the FileCache.dat file if you are experiencing a JavaScript error related to "dwscripts" or if you are receiving a "translators were not loaded" error message. The string of characters after "FileCache-" may differ on your machine. The location of the FileCache.dat file depends your operating system and your version of Dreamweaver. Note that on Windows, the Application Data and AppData folders are hidden by default, so verify that your Windows Explorer folder options are set to View Hidden Folders.

Dreamweaver CS3 on Windows Vista:
C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Dreamweaver 9\Configuration

Dreamweaver CS3 on Windows XP:
C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Application Data\Adobe\Dreamweaver 9\Configuration

Dreamweaver 8 on Windows XP:
C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Application Data\Macromedia\Dreamweaver 8\Configuration

Dreamweaver 8 on Windows Vista:
C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Macromedia\Dreamweaver 8\Configuration

Dreamweaver CS3 on Macintosh:
Mac HD/Users/[user]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Dreamweaver 9/

Dreamweaver 8 on Macintosh:Mac HD/Users/[user]/Library/Application Support/Macromedia/Dreamweaver 8/

And it definitely worked.

Good Luck!
