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.

New Google Toolbar
We all love Google's toolbar. It tells us the page rank of all the pages we create or optimise and regularly induces moment s of joy or grief depending on the changes caused by the last "Google Dance".
However the latest update to our handy toolbar also includes auto links. Meaning that Google inserts links into your webpage whether you put one there or not. For example an ISBN number on your site will automatically be linked to the corresponding sale on Amazon. Or if you have your address on the site it will automatically link to the corresponding Google Map Page.
Not nice if you like to be in control of your site! Thankfully you can download a handy Javascript to kill the feature on your site.
