Dreamweaver Crashing Randomly Fix

Dreamweaver CS3 crashing has been getting worse over recent weeks. I remember fixing this before and thanks to a reminder from: http://www.netevolution.co.uk/blog/?p=49 it is now fixed again.

The problem is due to a corrupted cache. Delete the following and all is well again:

The corrupted file is called WinFileCache-[random_numbers].dat.

On Windows XP, it’s located at
C: Documents and Settings Application Data Adobe Dreamweaver 9 Configuration.

On Vista, it is found at
C: Users AppData Roaming Adobe Dreamweaver 9 Configuration.

overflow hidden displays in Internet Explorer

After several attempts at a fix, finally found the good advice here:

The advice was:
So in my case swapping that out for position: absolute; on the child and overflow: hidden; position: relative; on the parent worked a charm. Now IE 6 plays nicely like its other browser friends.

In my case, position:relative could be left on the child div so all containers and child have the same relative positioning. I used this with the jquery animate function to slide a panel of content text into display area of new client website (GY).
