ReferenceError: onOpen is not defined

[Innertwine]

I've been recieving the following errors when opening / saving / closing -

While executing onLoad in _onOpen.html, the following Javascript error(s)
occured:
inFile onOpen:
ReferenceError: onOpen is not defined


While executing onLoad in _afterSave.htm, the following Javascript error(s)
occured:
in file _afterSave:
ReferenceError: afterSave is not defined

When researching Macromedia said to rename the harddisk, I did with no luck. I
hope this isn't a obvious solution that I'm missing - any help would be great!
Thanks!

I am pretty sure I have no extensions installed. I even have javascript
errors when I went Commands Manage Extensions I get
while executing onLoad in Manage Extensions.htm , the following Javascript
errors occurred:
in file ""Manage Extensions"":
reference error Manage Extensions is not defined

PS I have done a repair install no change
I can use Dreamweaver MX2004 with no problems
just the Dreamweaver 8 has just started having these strange Javascript errors

[Murray *TMM*]

You can try this simple fix -

Quit DW.

Find this file -

C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Macromedia\Dreamweaver
8\Configuration\SiteCache\<sitename>.dws

(these folders are normally hidden - you may have to use Explorer > Tools >
Folder Options to unhide them)

and delete it.

Restart DW. Works better?

I tried the quiick fix mentioned of deleting the sitename.dws in the cache
folder.
The system regenerated the cache for the site, but I still get Javascript
errors running dreamweaver 8
It will not even let me copy and paste text in a document without a javascript
error coming up. eg
---------------------------
Macromedia Dreamweaver
---------------------------
While executing DWShortcuts_HTMLSource_Paste command in menus.xml, the
following JavaScript error(s) occurred:

TypeError: MM.event has no properties

[Murray *TMM*]

OK - let's take the next step -

You can try this simple fix -

Quit DW.

Find this folder -

C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Macromedia\Dreamweaver
8\Configuration
(these folders are normally hidden - you may have to use Explorer > Tools >

and rename it (say to xConfiguration).

Restart DW. Works better?

I'm having identical symptoms as 'elstar_computing' was having, except I'm
using Dreamweaver MX 2004, and I'll add that even though the error message is
occuring (twice), once I 'OK' it I seem to be able to move on and use the
programme OK. Except I don't know what damage is going on sub-surface.
I've tried the remedies you suggsested to 'elstar_computing', but to no avail.
Do you have any other ideas?
Thanks.

[Adobo_from_Goya]

Found this solution that worked for "onLoad in _afterSave.htm" errors in MX2004:

Delete the file "tempURL_aftersave.htm" (which is in C:\Program
Files\Macromedia\Dreamweaver MX 2004\Configuration\Commands).

Then close MX2004 and restart.

[loridlc]

I tried your tip, Murray -- renamed the Configuration folder xConfiguration and
restarted. Now I get a blank error dialog box when I restart DW 8.02. I click
OK in the box and it discontinues launching the program.

So I change it back to Configuration, restart and get the much more ominous
error message that Elstar_Computing was receiving.

I found the SiteCache folder, but I have 15-20 .dws files for each of my
clients' sites. Do I delete all of them?

Yipes! My business relies on Dreamweaver!

[amansker]

Fixed my problem too. Thanks Murray!

FYI: I have consistently had similar problems with DW over many years and versions and computers.

[taseluio]

thanks Murray I fix the problem when rename configuration folder, thanks again

[South Fork]

Thanks Murray. Did the trick for me as well. Regards...

Ok, im still stuck, None of the above solutions have helped me much. As

Re naming configeration didnt help either.

[Azrael499]

I have been using Dreamweaver 8 for about 2 weeks now without any problems. I
ran a defrag on my system today and now I am receiving the ReferenceError:
dwscripts is not defined error that others seem to have experienced.

At first I tried looking for the cache file or another .dat file that I should
have been able to remove...however, I did not have any of these files. I have
tried renaming the Configuration folder and that has not worked. I have
uninstalled Dreamweaver and reinstalled but still receive the errors. I even
uninstalled my whole Studio 8 suite and reinstalled only to get the same error.

I do not have any extensions installed and this is a new computer.
Please help.
Thanks.:sad;

[Murray *ACE*]

Are you sure you are looking at the right path for the *.dat file?

C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Macromedia\Dreamweaver
8\Configuration\WinFileCache-*.dat
(these folders are normally hidden - you may have to use Explorer > Tools >
Folder Options to unhide them)

or on Mac -
Library/Application Support/Macromedia/Dreamweaver
8/Configuration/MacFileCache-*.dat

After being an Adobe user since 4.0 in 1997, this is the first time I've had
to Google an issue with any product from these guys but I did and I landed here
because of an "XSLT.htm: has configuration information that is invalid" error
message when I tried creating certain things like tables.

I'm a Mac user on Leopard 10.5.2 and this error started to appear after I
upgraded from 10.5.1 which I originally installed Adobe Creative Suite CS3 on.
After the upgrade I started getting this message using Dreamweaver on my Mac
Pro. For Leopard users, the paths are a little different than described in
previous posts.

You'll want to delete the Configuration folder found at
/Users/<your-mac-username>/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Dreamweaver
9/Configuration/. Once this is done, start Dreamweaver and wait longer than
normal while it re-creates all the files and updates your system information
which has suddenly changed for whatever reason.

Murray, Thanks!

Also, for those of you using Vista, here's the path to the configuration
directory:
C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Macromedia\Dreamweaver MX
2004\Configuration

I just closed Dreamweaver, renamed the above directory, and restarted the
message went away. It also takes dreamweaver some time to rebuild the
configuration once you restart. Only a minute or two for my site though.

I have Dreamweaver 8.0.1

At startup i get the 'dwscripts not defined' error, for which i found a
solution in google groups. One suggested deleting SiteCache folder, which i did
not have and which DW8 does not appear to create (not in \Program
Files\Macromedia\Dreamweaver 8\Configuration). Another solutions was to create
an empty function called dwscripts() in the dwscriptsExtData.js file at line
55. I did the second and this solved the dwscript error, but i continue to get
the 'following translators were not loaded'.

Surely a serious bug in DW8

[Skippy 05]

Murray,

Why does this error occur? Because I have encountered this error on several
occassions now (I think three times at last count...) I wonder if I'm doing
something to cause this error? If so, what is it? If not me then why does
this happen? I would just like to prevent it from reoccurring. Thank you.

[lpBranda]

Thank you Murray *TMM* . I'v got the same problem, and it was fixed by rename the "Configuration". thank you!

[Lou11909]

I got the same error this morning. I have a trial version of Dreamweaver 8.
I've tried renaming the Configuration folder but this doesn't help. Other
disscusions have suggested deleting certain files or folders, such as
Sitecache, but i don't appear to even have these to start with!
Any other suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

hi groop: My dwscripts error was fixed with adding empty function at
line 55. but still getting "translators were not loaded...asp.htm:
configuration information is invalid"

[Webhelio]

Murray- renaming the folder, AND disabling the cold fusion 7 extensions worked
for me. I'm with the others, I am wondering why this happens.. but I don't
expect you to have the answers, however "Adobe" should have this fixed with a
patch immediately. I paid good money for this software.

[DreamRaven]

Murray's tip worked for me as well. Thanks

I did not have any ColdFusion extensions installed. And in fact I deleted the
sitecache, carried out a repair AND then completely reinstalled the product,
before looking for this remedy, all previous tries failed. After the re-install
I have no extensions installed at all (as you would expect).

One thing I would also recommend, if you do not use the default DW menu setup
is copying the file panelset.xml from your 'bad config' folder to the new one
that is created when you restart the program. Then you will not have to go
through the hassle of rearranging your menus, and panels to how they were
before (I run a three screen setup and it is so irritating removing,
regrouping, opening, etc, etc the panels, copying the XML file solves all of
that in one hit.)

Is Adobe going to patch or fix any Macromedia products, or just combine them
with existing Adobe products? Boy, do I look forward to a DW/Go Live merge? Not
at all. Adobe's workflow is total garbage compared to Macromedia's.

[Webhelio]

I agree and if they merge them what a dopey move.. I really don't even get why
Adobe would by Macromedia, why Macromedia would sell out to Adobe, bla bla
bla... They've already changed the website so that now we see the same
technology that other sites are using, at least on my browser I don't see the
old menus and the "goodies" of what MM makes being put to use... Ok back to our
original topic..

THANKS for the info on the .xml for the panel layouts, that's awesome. Are
there any other files like that for configurations and settings that would
carry over that way?

[DreamRaven]

I have been using DW today off an on, as I usually do. I have had to reload the
extensions, due to my unnecessary re-install, but I have not found anything
else to be out of whack with my installation.

The sites stayed installed, so that must have been a registry setting. Other
than the panel layout, I don't think that there is anything different for me
from default, so there maybe other files to copy over, say if you have made any
edits to any of them, but not that I know of.

If I notice anything else different or files that need copying I will make
sure I add them here.

[nicholas_v]

:cool;
I started Dreamweaver 8 this morning and got the following Javascript error:

The following JavaScript error(s) occurred:

At line 56 of file "D:\Program Files\Macromedia\Dreamweaver
8\Configuration\Shared\Common\Scripts\dwscriptsExtData.js":
ReferenceError: dwscripts is not defined

Fortunately, the fix is easy. Exit DW, delete the WinFileCache*.dat file in
the Configuration folder, and then restart DW.
Just open C:\Documents and Settings/Userxxxxx/Application
Data/Macromedia/Dreamweaver 8/Configuration
And you will find the above mentioned file there.

Cheers

DW3 is so antique that some of its critical behavior javascript will not
work in current browsers. I urge you to update it if you can.

I don't have DW3 installed anywhere, so I can't test for you, but please try
creating a new site definition that points into the same local root folder
and see if that corrects this problem.

I can't rename my configuration folder.

[l***@gmail.com]

Respect to Murray!!!

[Compugasm]

It seems there is an extra file called "WinFileCache-7A9586CB.dat" being
created. Deleting this file stopped all the errors from occuring. Murrarys post
above tells you how to find the the "Configuration" folder, and that's where
this file is.

[c***@gmail.com]

I think a common misconception that I got caught with is the document
path... make sure you go into the documents & settings folder not the
program files folder.

http://www.cramgraphics.com/

[bbjrcanada]

Yes, exactly and I think this is where most of the problems are coming from. Users are searching in the Program Files instead of locating the HIDDEN folders with the Documents and Settings.

[bbjrcanada]

Everyone seems to be having the same open_ & line 56 problems here... Don't
fear, it is a simple fix...
Dreamweaver 8

The following JavaScript error(s) occurred:

At line 56 of file "D:\Program Files\Macromedia\Dreamweaver
8\Configuration\Shared\Common\Scripts\dwscriptsExtData.js":
ReferenceError: dwscripts is not defined

Next Step

First, ensure that you are in the DOCUMENTS AND SETTING folder and NOT in the
Program Files folder. The file that you are required to DELETE in order to FIX
this problem is hidden so you must change your setting in order to expose the
file.

To do this, go to "Tools>Folder Options>VIEW>"Hidden Files and Folders">Show
Hidden Files and Folders

Then go back to the Documents and Settings Folder and locate the Dream Weaver
8 Folder. There you will find the folder that you are required to delete.
Remember, you can only see this file if you have change the folder options.

The file you will delete is entitled...

"WinFileCache-59489B2C.dat"

Delete this file and all problems should be solved.

I apologize if I have repeated previous posts but I just wanted to ensure that
everyone has this annoying problem fixed once and for all. The WinFileCache
will re-create itself so don't worry about deleting it. Do not delete the
configuration folder as you only need to delete the single WinCache file.

Have a good night.

[mletson]

Hola,

The problem I have is that there is no such Macromedia directoy under
"username". I have hidden files turned on. The only Macromedia directory on
my machine isunder Program Files. From there, I can find all the files this
post has been discussing.

Is it Ok to perform the suggested fix on this directory?

Thanks,
Mike

[joepilot]

Deleting the .DAT file worked great. The Application Data folder is hidden so
you will need to deal with that. Don't get the Program files, Macromedia etc.
and the Documents and settings etc. mixed up.

[mletson]

Wow! It is amazing to me that Adobe puts out a product that you actually have
to go in and change files in order to get the thing to faithfully work right!

Also, trying to get DW to play with others using VSS is virtually impossible.
We have several other developers and none of them use DW. They all use
Eclipse. Well, I have always liked DW but after so much frustration with DW
and VSS, and stupid javascript errors, I've made the switch to Eclipse.

Everything works fast. No more dreaded work-stopping file hangs when
attempting to open a checked in file. No more javascript errors when opening
the IDE. File opening and saving (when working with VSS) are instantaineous.

Thanks for all of your input but Adobe just lost another customer.

Best Regards,
Mike

The fixed that Murray described worked for me. I'm using Dreamweaver 8.0.2.

After a failed shutdown I started having allll sorts of problems the next day,.
This was one of them. Murray's solution fixed 99% of them (thanks Murray!)

I was still getting an onload error which went away after I uninstalled Adobe
Developer Toolbox extension (more trouble than it's worth - I won't miss it)
I suspect that if I reinstalled it and re-registered it that everytihng would
work fine, but less is more lately.

Good luck!

I?m getting the following errors when opening files in Dreamweaver CS4

While executing onload in _onOpen.htm, the following JavaScript error(s)
occurred:
In file "" _onOpen"":
ReferenceError: onOpen is not defined

The above message repeats a few times. After I Press OK and try and open a
file, I get the following error:

The following translators were not loaded due to errors:
ASP.htm has configuration information that is invalid.
Colfusion .htm has configuration information that is invalid.
JSP.htm has configuration information that is invalid.
XSLT.htm has configuration information that is invalid.

I tried renaming the 'configuration' folder to 'xconfiguration' in the Program
Files/Adobe/Adobe Dreamweaver CS4, but that didn't work. Any ideas?

Yes. You didn't follow directions. This is NOT the correct file to rename.
Please return it to the original name, and find the correct one in the user
section of your hard drive folder hierarchy.
