CS3 - Design View not showing externally linked images

In CS3 Design View, externally linked images are not showing
up... i am only getting the place holder.
To prempt some questions:
1/ Links are correct and complete - apart from the fact that
they show up when previewing in the browser(s) - i have
crosschecked
2/ There are no spaces in the url
3/ In the 'View' menu, 'Display External Files' is checked
I had this problem before and escargo suggested saving and
rebooting. It worked then but strangely, today, that file is again
showing some of the externally linked images but not all. And on a
new file, created today, none of the externally linked images are
showing up... :(
I'm sure there's a simple solution to the problem... anyone
have any idea what it could be?
Thanks and cheers,
JJ

Nope. Some show - some don't.

Design view not showing links in template

Newbie here,
I have downloaded a template from the web, that i wish to
use, but when i try and insert an article onto DW, from
ezinearticle using the html code supplied and pasting into the code
view, the result in the design view is that the links that appeared
on the LHS have disappeared. I need these links to be able to
publish further content onto different pages.
Kind regards

Hi smartserpent,
Can you post a screenshot of what you are seeing?

Design view not showing true design

I'm using Dreamweaver CS3, and have an issue with design
view.
I was editing the content of a page in design view, applying
styles from my main.css, when the page I was working on suddenly
lost all its styles, including heading & paragraph styles, and
placement of most div tags.
My header and the div tags inside that are still visible, as
is the side navigation, although the background image for the side
navigation is not. It seems to be all my editable regions that have
decided not to show correctly.
I've checked other pages and templates based on the main.css,
and they all appear to have the same problem.
The good news:
1. The CSS Styles inspector on each page shows it is attached
to the main.css, but lists only three styles under that style
sheet, all of which are named 'td img'.
2. The main.css itself looks fine. All my styles are still
there.
3. When I preview my site in a browser, it looks as it
should, so presumably it IS still attached to the style sheet, it's
just not showing properly when I'm working on it.
Any clues as to what's going on?
As I'm sure everyone says, this is kind of urgent, so any
help anyone can offer will be very gratefully received!
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer!
EDIT: I've been playing around with previewing the site in a
browser again, and have encountered another issue, which may be
related. I can preview a preliminary page, but all my links take me
to a 'this page cannot be found' error message. I was pretty sure
it wasn't doing this when I first encountered the problem with
design view, but I could be mistaken. Has something happened to the
internal links on my site, perhaps?

In the View menu go to Style Rendering. Make sure Display
Styles is checked.

Design View not displaying external files...HELP!

This is my second attempt asking for anybody's help. I'm using Dreamweaver 8.0.2 (OS X 10.4.11) and when I open "any" of my local files In "Design View" NO external files loads. Here's what I've done so far to no avail:
Delete "site cache"
Delete all pref files
Made sure "Display External Files" is check
Made sure "Style Rendering --> Display Files" is check (using screen media type)
Check that my firewall is disabled
Renamed local root DIR of site file
Searched the web, forums, etc...none of the answers worked
Reinstalled DW 8.....TWICE!
2 weeks ago I did updates to my website and everything was just fine. And now, nothing is working. All I can see is text and all of DIV blocks...but all external CSS and INC files fails to load. Been trying to fix this for 2 days now. Can anyone "please" give me some ideas to fix this problem.

Hi - without seeing the actual page code, I'll take a stab that possibly you've lost the link to your stylesheets...?
If you view the code, somewhere inside the "head" tags (generally right under the "Title", you should have a reference to any of your external stylesheets/images, etc.) Something like this:
<link href="name_of_stylesheet.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
If no images are showing up as well, my guess is that you've moved the page (or the images and stylesheet) into a different folder/or subfolder without updating the links. Any time you move a file, it should be done within dreamweaver (and it will always ask if you want to update links). If you move a file without using DW, it will definitely break all links, and no amount of re-installing, re-caching, etc. will fix it (sorry)...
If this is the case, the best way to rectify would be to move the file back to where you had it... if this isn't the reason for the broken links, you'll need to manually re-update all of the links because something else has broken the linkage... (sorry again...)
Hope that helps,
Jesse

Design view not showing actual layout

I have a test page where I have a navigation div element
created and it floats to the left. When I preview the page in IE,
this navigation div element shows up as it should on the left part
of the page but in the Design view of Dreamweaver CS3, the nav
element box is centered and it makes it difficult if not impossible
to type my content in because the nav box is sitting dead in the
middle of the page where the content is supposed to go. Please
help.

Let's see the page's code, please. Can you post a link to it?

The page contains PHP markup, but it's not any that should interfere with your seeing something in Design view. What is interfering with that is some invalid HTML on the page. For example -
American Telecommunications Certification Body </td>
 </td>
(note the </td> followed by another </td>)
If I remove that extra </td> then your Design view becomes visible. There are at least two other problems on this page -
There is no doctype - thus, the page will be rendered by all browsers in QUIRKS mode. That's a bad thing. You should use an HTML 4.01 Transitoinal doctype on this and other pages.
There is an improperly nested tag here -
BuildAPlane Announces Teachers’ Day at AirVenture! >>
I'd fix all of these if I were you.
The page also contains PHP scripting that is connecting to an online database, and extracting information that is used to populate the <select> tag in the projects form. You will not see that tag populated with options in Design view. To see it, you would need to have Apache and PHP installed, and have a testing server defined for this site. Even then, you would only see that tag populated in Live view or on Preview, not in Design view.

DW MX2004 design view not showing

Hi... I'm working in split mode in DWMX2004. The background
image is bigger than the design window. No matter what I do, I
cannot scroll to the top of the page to add content. There is no
scroll bar on the right side. I have minimized and stretched the
page, I have restored the page to full size. I cannot get it to
show the whole page. BTW, even if working in just design view, I
cannot get to the top of the page. Very frustrating to say the
least... please, help?
TIA
Mike T.

Did you just insert the image into a blank document, or have
you declared
this image as the background to a container.
You need to use css to declare this image as a background
image for the
table itself or for a div (do not use layers as your main way
to construct
a page-you'll only end up with more headaches :)

JSFF design view not showing

In the design view of a jsff file, only the structure of the af components is shown. Any advice?
(seems this forum does support images ...)
Edited by: Leon Zeng on May 3, 2013 10:39 AM

Hi Leon,
I have seen this behaviour after the use of "Convert to .."
e.g. after convert of af:inputText (Number) to af:outputText
"Convert to .." did not remove <af:convertNumber>
After remove of <af:convertNumber> in the "Source" I got my design view back.
Best,
Kees.

Design View Not Showing Up In Master On Plan View Page

Five days ago I downloaded a trial version of Muse and tried building Katies-cafe. Everything went OK except that the Design view is not showing up in the Master. Any Ideas? I disabled and re-enabled the thumbnail checkmarkin Plan view, and I also tried reseting the page properties in Design View, but it still doesn't work.

Live View not showing css or images.

Hi
Heres the issue:
Images and css appear in Design View
Images and CSS appears in Browser when I click view in browser
Images and CSS dont appear in Live view (no css and question marks for images)
Any ideas?
I have previously built this into an android app that worked fine and have come back to DW after a few months of not using it just to make some small changes and this has spontaneously occured?! I havent changed any settings etc so not sure why its all of a sudden decided to do this!
Thanks

Above: Design View.
Below: Browser View:
And Now: Below is Live view:
Im using Adobe CS6 and the last time I used it I didnt have this problem. I worked on a project for a few months using Live View and Browser View with no problems at all. Revisiting after a few months and this has suddenly started!!!!
Thanks guys

Design view not showing in fluid layout

I can not turn on my design view, only live view is showing

CC2014.1 and later no longer have a Design View while using Fluid Grids. This has been discussed here at some length, in multiple threads. If you would like to get Design View back, you can add the X shown below in your fluid grid's .css file...
    Dreamweaver Fluid Grid Properties
    dw-num-cols-mobile:      X 4;
    dw-num-cols-tablet:        8;
    dw-num-cols-desktop:    12;
    dw-gutter-percentage:    25;
=====================================
Close all other files first. Make the change, then save and restart DW.

CS4 Design View not showing

I am unable to get the design view to work unless I have Live View open in which case my properties box is unavailalbe. I did have "overflow hidden" in my CSS but I deleted it, closed Dreamweaver and it still doesn't work. When I right click and go to Element View, Full and Hidden are grayed out. Only Reset is available which doesn't do anything.

You have a couple invalid formatted comments on the page which could be causing display issues for your "Title Starts Here" type of comments. The comment tag is only . I think those extra hyphens "-" might be causing an issue with the Design View and confusing Dreamweaver. Additionally in your footer, you have 2 open tags but only one closing tag. That needs to be fixed as well. It looks like the one around the address portion is missing, copyright seems fine.
Lastly, you have some CSS errors in that document, but those shouldn't be causing the issue you are describing although they could cause browser issues that you may want to look into.

Font sizes render too small in DW CS3 design view?

I have recently upgraded to DW CS3 from DW8 (which is still
installed) on my Vista Ultimate system.
For some reason CS3 occasionally renders fonts smaller than
they 'should' appear. This can be replicated using the below code
(I realise this code is not 'best practice' by any measure but it
is the simplest way I could demonstrate the problem). In DW8 design
view it renders exactly as it outputs in IE5, 6, 7, and Firefox
(with default viewing settings) but in DW CS3 the font appears much
smaller! I realise this is probably a standards issue, with CS3
probably sticking to the standards more firmly than the browsers
and DW8 but I need the design view to render as the browser will or
it is no use to me
Please do not say that I should amend my code to be more
'Standards Compliant' as my main use of DW is coding a large
PHP/MySQL invoicing system which is used within a controlled LAN on
IE6 only. It was originally written by someone else and has been
added to and updated by myself. It is very large and certainly
doesn't need rewriting just to render correctly in DW CS3 design
view.
Any help greatly appreciated

Thanks, Malcom
Here is a screen shot of DW CS2 andn how the fonts are
displayed:

CS4 to CS3 Design View Preview

Is it possable to to preview Dreamweaver CS4 in CS3 Design View? I only have CS4 on my machine and a customer with CS3 wants to make changes to my work. The CSS styles do not render correctly. Is there anything I can do to to correct this? Everything works in the browsers.

Nope. Some show - some don't.

CS3 jpgs do not show in browser

Hi,
Whenever I save an image as a jpg from Photoshop CS3 it will not show up in any browsers. It shows as a broken image icon. If I open it up in Photoshop CS2 and save it as a jpg it then will show up. Does anyone else have this problem?
Thanks

Warren, do you see the version I posted okay? (obviously, your link was good, because I was able to download the image)
I can only guess that it is either your upload process, or the final server, that is causing the issue.
You could download the version I posted, and try uploading it, because we know it is good...
Are you using an FTP program? Do you have another upload route you could try?
