      I am getting a message
      "There is a syntax error on line 27 of list.js.php. Code hinting may not work untill you fix this error"

      Does anyone have a fix?

          It looks as though you have a corrupt cache file. Follow troubleshooting
          step 4 in the following technote:

            Hi David and thanks for the quick reply.

            Anyway I followed your advice and it did not work as the solution you provided is a CS3 solution and from what I can see does not apply to CS4 because the structure is different.

            I did a bit of looking around and found the WinFileCashe-3012BA81.dat in
            C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Application Data\Adobe\Dreamweaver CS4\en_US\Configuration
            but this did not solve the issue

            I am still hoping you have the solution
            thanks

              FWIW, a couple of us just recently discovered that (in a different
              situation), DW assumed that the file type was determined by the first
              three letters following the first dot in a filename.

              Hence, xxx.swfOthername.jpq was assumed by DW to be a Flash SWF rather
              than the JPEG that it was.

              Just guessing that list.js.php may be confusing DW (and me as well -
              what is it, JS or PHP?).

              So, just suggesting that you try naming the file without multiple dots,
              but use a single dot for the extension signifying the file type you
              think DW should recognize. Perhaps an underscore for deliniating to
              human eyes what the file may reference, but is not. ie: list_js.php

                The file I refer to "list.js.php" is generated by dreamweaver
                It is located in includes/nxt/scripts/

                  What operation causes it to be generated? I have never seen DW create such
                  a file.

                    The solution is the same. The location is

                    Adobe\Dreamweaver CS4\en_US\Configuration

                    instead of

                    Adobe\Dreamweaver 9\Configuration

                        David,

                         

                        The link you provided at the top of the window for this solution returning a 404 error message - could you update to reflect the new home for the tn_19105 article.

                         

                        Tx,

                          @John,

                           

                          Thanks for the quick reply...

                           

                          I wasn' t able to find a fix in the link provided for the specific problem associated with the Developers Tool Box js error that was being reproted in the design window.

                           

                          But it turns out the problem was fairly obvious after looking at the code... the page form.js.php has single quotes surrounding a block of php code - that also contains single quotes - which terminates the quoted string early. Changing the single quotes to double quotes surrounding the php section on lines 27 & 28 resolves the problem (I think).

                           

                          Thanks again,

                           

                          Gaver
