Css Tabs in Dreamweaver CS4 Workspace bug?/annoyance

Css Tabs in Dreamweaver CS4 Workspace. This is probably more
of an
annoyance than a bug.
When working with CSS, I use multiple CSS files and when I
make a change
to one, I hit save (CTRL S)but it doesn't save the CSS file I
was just
working on. In order to make it save that CSS file, I have to
click on
one of the others and then back to the one I was just working
on and
then hit save.
Kind of annoying, right?
I demand this to be fixed! ;)

Art,
I guess you didn't understand what I meant by "focus". Let me
try to
explain in terms of your recipe -- all you need is a slight
change in
workflow:
> 1. Open page with multiple style sheets applied
> 2. Have split screen
> 3. click on one style sheet and edit it anywhere. After
editing, the
> rounded box will be black and have an asterisk applied
At this point, the style sheet has "focus", so click Ctrl+S
now, before
you click back in Design View (which changes the "focus" back
to the
main document).
FYI, if you're clicking in Design View to update the
rendering, you can
hit F5 to update the main document rendering without giving
it "focus".
> 4. Click back to page in design view.
> 5. Click control save. It doesn't save the style sheet
that is
> highlighted and has an asterisk.
> 6. In order to save you must "save all" or click off
and then on
> to the style sheet.
Hope this helps,
Randy

  • Problem with Dreamweaver CS4 workspace

    Hi
    I have just installed the Adobe CS4 Design Premium software on my Macbook Pro (OS X) and I have a problem or two with the Dreamweaver CS4 workspac:
    1) When I have no file open, no matter which workspace I choose from the drop down list, I have a "see-through" area where files are generally displayed (see attached screen shot). This means I can see my desktop picture, or any other open files, in the background. This is very desturbing! If I click in that open space it also takes me out of Dreamweaver.
    How can I get just a basic grey background in my workspace, instead of the silly see-though??
    2) I have no close, minimize or maximize icons at the top left as I have in Photoshop or Lightroom!?!!  Why is this and how can I get it there?
    Thank you very much in advance for anyone who can help!

    I have the same problem - just installed Dreamweaver yesterday on mac. Will be interested to see if anyone has a solution for this!

  • Line CSS Code Crashes Dreamweaver CS4

    Steps to reproduce bug:
    1. Open dreamweaver, and start a new CSS file
    2. Write this code, do not copy paste :
    @media print{
    #tepe, #rightpanel,
    3. While writing the code, Dreamweaver crashes. In some cases, even thought i was able to fully write the code, trying to save or closing Dreamweaver also crashed.
    3a. Save this code to a file with notepad and open with dreamweaver. Dreamweaver crashes.
    Try it yourself...

    Strange, mine crashed instantly.
    What I did is write the code in texteditor, saved it as test.css and then opened the file in DW CS4.
    Bingo.
    K.
    (I only have Mac to test it with)

  • 3.6.10 no longer lets me preview sites from Dreamweaver CS4 - my bug or theirs?

    I updated my Mozilla Firefox browser via the automatic updates the other day, and I can no longer use Firefox to preview pages designed in Dreamweaver.
    The other browsers still work, just this one.

    There is a fix for Dreamweaver, so it works in Firefox 3.6+ versions:

    There is a $5.00 fee for that Dreamweaver fix. That website and the fix are not associated with Mozilla in any manner. Support for that fix is provided by that that website via email.

  • Where is the layer panel/tab in Dreamweaver CS4?

    Its not under the insert header where you would expecti it to be.

    Starting with CS3, there are no more "layers" - the term was not only too confining, it was also not easy to apply.  DW now uses the term "absolutely positioned" to refer to any page element that has the style "position:absolute" applied to it - which is what made a 'layer' a 'layer'.  In fact, you can absolutely position just about any element on the page, including images, paragraph tags, tables, horizontal rules, etc., thus the expanded utility of the new designation.  The tab you are looking for now is the "AP Elements" panel.
    That said, you also need to know that the easiest way to land in "Layout Hell" is to start using absolute positioning as a layout tool.  It is definitely not.  You should read this page to learn the correct approach to building your page -

  • Keyboard shortcuts not working Dreamweaver CS4

    I have done quite a bit a searching, but I have not found a solution. When I am working on a file, Ctrl+S does not allow me to save.
    I have tried deleting the menu configurations to no avail.
    I am using Vista 64 bit.

    Is this archive thread about Saving with the new Related Files feature in CS4 relevant to your issue?
    http://www.highdots.com/forums/macromedia-dreamweaver/css-tabs-dreamweaver-cs4-workspace-2 75496.html
    If not, can you provide more info about your issue? e.g. reproducible steps?

  • Dreamweaver CS4 adds a tab when we move to new line.

    Dreamweaver CS4 adds a tab when we move to new line. This thing was not in CS3, its not a big problem but it disturbs me, so is there any setting to change it.
    for example,
    Dreamweaver CS3
    .hello{
    Dreamweaver CS4
    .hello{
    Thanks in advance

    If you're referring to the way that Dreamweaver formats CSS, you can change the options in Preferences (open from the Edit menu on Windows, Dreamweaver menu on the Mac). Select the Code Format category, and click the CSS button at the bottom of the panel. You can set your preferences there.
    The way that Dreamweaver handles curly braces is to indent the next line automatically when you press Enter after the opening curly brace. Type your style rules, and press Enter after the last one. When you type a closing curly brace, Dreamweaver CS4 automatically moves it one tab space to the left after you press Enter again.

  • Fix Dreamweaver CS4 Color Eyedropper Bug

    Dreamweaver locks up when using the eyedropper from the CSS
    panel to select/match a color from any object in Design view.
    Easiest to explain by describing a split view. Dreamweaver locks
    every time -- when placing cursor in a background color code in a
    style sheet, then going to the CSS panel and selecting the
    background color swatch for that style, then with the eyedropper,
    touching a color in the Design view part of the split screen.
    Dreamweaver CS3 never locked up when performing these same
    steps. Dreamweaver CS4, locks up whether selecting a color in a
    bitmap or a CSS background color that is displayed in the Design
    split view. Means I have to go to Fireworks to color match, and if
    the color I want is in a range of a gradient, I have to make the
    gradient a bitmap before selecting the spot with the eyedropper. I
    even had some difficulty in Fireworks, as the selection wouldn't
    show up in the color panel when I touched the bitmap with the
    eyedropper. I could see the color code in the popup color selector
    and clicked there for the color to show up in Fireworks' color
    panel.
    Kind of a hassle...would be nice to get an update fix for
    this.

  • DreamWeaver CS4 CSS code hints not working

    Please help.
    DreamWeaver has stopped showing code hints for CSS selector values. When I start typing "…   div {border:   …" DreamWeaver used to show the possible value for this selector (i.e. 1px solid #ccc). Now all that pops up is this "…   'border-width' 'border-style' 'color'   …"
    How can I get DreamWeaver to show the possible values for CSS? I'm running DreamWeaver CS4 on a Mac book pro with Snow Leopard. DreamWeaver was set up using the default settings, and there are no extensions enabled.
    The attached screen shots show what I am experincing.
    Thanks,

    Wow... you waited all of 2 hours...

  • Css copy paste problem still a problem in Dreamweaver CS4

    Hi all, I know this one has been discussed before, but this is still a major usability issues with the product with no practical solution available.
    For some reason no one seems to be able to mark http://forums.adobe.com/thread/209290?start=50&tstart=0 as unanswered, yet numerous posts stating it isn't resolved.
    Therefore, I'm starting this request to see if there is a solution.
    For those of you unaware, the issue affects Dreamweaver CS4 code view.  After editing in code view (usually with CSS files though others have reported other code types) for a little while (sometimes within seconds, sometimes after many minutes of use) and then when you copy (Ctrl-C) the application selects all text and copies that.  Usability wise, you've just lost your place in the code (which you may have spent some time finding in a complex file) and what you wanted to copy is not what's in the clipboard.  So frustrating.
    The issue is similarly repeated with pasting (i.e. you select some text or a place to paste and the system selects all before pasting from clipboard).
    So does anyone know of a patch to fix this yet?
    Thanks

  • Dreamweaver CS4 attempted to free unallocated memory bug

    Dreamweaver CS4 Mac version 10.0.0.4117 has a fatal bug.  It is trying to free up unallocated memory.  Most likely, it is trying to free the pointer twice, which ended up attempting to free memory that does not belong to it.  This corrupts the system memory, and bring down Snow Leopard, causing the notorious freeze problem in Snow Leopard.
    See the system log, right after Dreamweaver crashed, it corrupted the system memory, causing Safari to freeze right after that:

  • BUG!!! Dreamweaver CS4

    This is a BAD BUG, but hopefully you save ALL of your work
    prior to testing in Live View. Because if you have a JavaScript,
    that you messed up and there is an endless loop, you have to FORCE
    QUIT Dreamweaver CS4 (
    ) and lose the unsaved data since there is NO WAY to
    end LIVE VIEW
    Below is a sample of code to create the bug for yourself.
    Note: You can see I threw the comment code in front of every
    line so the message board wouldn't see it as a valid code. And then
    launch the faulty code, causing anyone reading this message to
    FORCE QUIT their browser.

  • Setting CSS link properties in Dreamweaver CS4

    I'm a Dreamweaver CS4 newbie working on my first page. I'm setting the link <a> properties for my page, and while I understand how to set them manually by writing them into the CSS file, I'm wondering if there's a way to set them using Dreamweaver's usual, more "automatic" methods.
    For example, if I choose New CSS Rule, the dialogue box comes up where I can choose Tag, then choose "a" from the list of Selectors. But is there a way using this New CSS Rule box to create rules for a:hover, a:visited and a:active? Or do I just have to write those manually in my CSS file?
    Sorry for such a basic question. I did a search here and came up empty.
    Thanks in advance.
