DW8 Broke my script

:disgust;
Just installed Dreamweaver 8 and tried to update a library item that contanin
javascript for a slideout menu. When I update the page, DW8 seemingly randomly
replaces spaces in the script with '%20%22' and' \Templates' and destroys some
urls. See my example below.

-----------------------line from DW8 updated page----------------

"<td><a href=\"/headsets/cellular/cellular.html\"

onMouseOut=\"MM_swapImgRTemplates/estore()/%22%20onMouseOver=/%22MM_swapImage('d
d_3_0','','http://hs.zappos.com/img/hds2/menu/dd/overview_on.gif',1)\"><img
src=\"http://hs.zappos.com/img/hds2/menu/dd/overview_off.gif\"
alt=\"Overview\" name=\"dd_3_0\" border=\"0\"></a></td>" +

------------------------------------------------------------------

Looks like a find and replace or something blew up.

-----------------------same line from a working page------------------

"<td><a href=\"/headsets/cellular/cellular.html\"
onMouseOut=\"MM_swapImgRestore()\"

onMouseOver=\"MM_swapImage('dd_3_0','','http://hs.zappos.com/img/hds2/menu/dd/ov
erview_on.gif',1)\"><img
src=\"http://hs.zappos.com/img/hds2/menu/dd/overview_off.gif\"
alt=\"Overview\" name=\"dd_3_0\" border=\"0\"></a></td>" +

Sounds like your settings are XHTML and site root (in the second instance).
You can change those things in Edit/preferences.

Hi Nancy,

Thanks for the tip but unfortunately neither option fixed the issue.

With Edit > Preferences > New Document: Default Document Type (DTD): HTML
4.010 Transitional

and...

Edit > Preferences > Site: Manage Sites: Local Info: Links relative to:
Document

I still get the error fubared code. ANy other ideas? Not too thrilled with DW8
do far.
