diva FreeToolsUtilities for Dreamweaver

Current Version: 1.0.4 (for DWMX-CS4, PC/Mac)

Download: divaFreeTools

Free Dreamweaver Extension offers an array of Tools

Like other diva DW Extensions, it

  • Works perfectly in Templates and their Children.
  • Creates standards compliant code.
  • Can operate on multiple pages at a time.

Yet it is also quite different from our other offerings:

  • Development is supported by Donations and by Google ad click-throughs.
  • Help is offered only on the Adobe Dreamweaver Forum (But bug reports and suggestions for new tools are welcome via our Contact Form.)
  • We will not send out updates, nor will we notify you when updates are available.

The Tools include:

Set spacer image Alt attributes to alt=""
Finds all (gif) spacer images and adds an empty alt tag. So <img src="shim.gif"/> becomes <img src="shim.gif" alt=""/> This is useful to hide these meaningless images from Screen Readers, (and to help your page pass HTML Validation.)
Unlike most of the other tools, this one acts on all selected pages all at one time.
Set (non-spacer) image Alt attributes
Finds all non-spacer images (with options to display those that have no alt attribute and/or have a blank alt, and/or have a existing alt value), and adds alt values of your choice (or removes the alt attribute entirely.) Titles too. You can edit the list of spacer image filenames that divaTools will look for. The list is delimited by the pipe symbol (|).
Set tag Titles
Finds any html tag you request (with options to display those that have no title attribute and/or have a blank title, and/or have a existing title value), and add title values of your choice (or remove the title attribute entirely.)
Dreamweaver's OpenBrowserWindow
Copies the filename that would open in a popup to the link's href. So <a href="#" onClick="MM_openBrWindow('Z.htm')"> becomes <a href="Z.htm" onClick="MM_openBrWindow('Z.htm');
return false)"> And then optionally removes the behavior, leaving: <a href="Z.htm">. Now you can use divaPOPgold or divaPOP on the page! And if this had been a link to an image, as in <a href="Z.jpg">, divaPOPgold would be able to open the image in an autosized, centered, popup.
Valley Web Design's JustSo PictureWindow3
Same as above but for JustSo PictureWindow3 behaviors, and in addition it will move any Jspw3 captions to the Title attribute of the thumbnail image's <img> tag, to the <area> tag of an imagemap, or to the <a> tag of a text link. Then you can add divaPOPgold to your page if you wish, and it will be able to display that caption under the image as before!
Adjust gallery width in JustSo PhotoAlbum3 tables
Ever wanted to change the number of columns in a JustSo PhotoAlbum gallery table? Instead of recreating the whole thing, now you can use this quick and easy tool to instantly modify the number of table columns.
Convert Library --> Server Side Include Statements
To ease one of the steps in ridding your site of DW Library items, <!-- #BeginLibraryItem "/Library/Z.lbi" -->
<p>This is in an .lbi file</p>
<!-- #EndLibraryItem --> becomes, depending your selection of ApacheSSI, ASP or PHP <!--#include virtual="/Library/Z.htm" --> or <?php include($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/Library/Z.htm');?>
