Dreamweaver Find and Replace Javascript Error
I come across this again and again: After some intensive web design work in Macromedia Dreamweaver I get Javascript errors which make the program crash whenever I try to "Find and Replace". Either they are "exception throw in native function" or other different Javascript error codes. I did a lot of Googling until I found the solution myself:
Open the windows registry and go to (write "regedit" in Start > Run):
HKEY-USERS > S-1-5-21-917447210-3837174102-3230668535-1007 > Software > Macromedia MX 2004 > Find and replace
You will find a number of values like "Q_0_0" and "Q_0_1" etc.
Shut down Dreamweaver, delete all of these, fire it up again and yuo have your search and replace function back.
It seems like DW saves a history of past "Find and Replace" actions and that these congest or confuse it after a while.
