Next to last paragraph in dark gray box

The box says that Ctrl-P will replay a command -- Ctrl-P prints. Ctrl-Y
replays the last history item, but it dosen't seem willing to replay

Instructions for creating a Web Photo Album produce the following error:

While executing onClick, the following JavaScript error(s) occurred:

At line 71 of the file "...CommandsCreate Web Photo album.js"
TypeError: dw.getDocumentDOM() has no properties

Macromedia has a tutorial that works at:
http://www.macromedia.com/support/dreamweaver/programs/photoalbum/

There are two differences in Macromedia's instructions and those in the Missing
Manual text:

1. Make a site for the Album
2. Have a document open -- even though it is not used, it is required for the
command to work properly.
