Dreamweaver

Enable the ColdFusion enhancements

Some of these enhancements require that you define a computer running ColdFusion MX 7 or later as a testing server for Dreamweaver. For example, the Property inspectors for form controls are available only if you specify the correct testing server.

You define a testing server only once. Dreamweaver then automatically detects the testing server version and makes the enhancements available if it detects ColdFusion.

  1. If you haven’t already done so, define a Dreamweaver site for your ColdFusion project.
  2. Select Site > Manage Sites, selecting your site from the list in the Advanced Site Definition dialog box, and click Edit.
    If the Basic Site Definition dialog box appears, click the Advanced tab to switch to the advanced version.
  3. Select the Testing Server category and specify a computer running ColdFusion MX 7 or later as the testing server for your Dreamweaver site. Ensure than you specify a valid URL prefix.
  4. Open any ColdFusion document.

    You won’t see any visible changes to the Dreamweaver work space until you open a ColdFusion document.
