Help Getting CS6 DreamWeaver to Allow Me to Set HTML Settings in Property Inspector

Hi,
Another quesiton regarding table layout.  As I often am designing email newsletters, I still need easy ways to set old fashioned HTML elements without messing with CSS (alignment, etc) - it just works better for me for email blasts to code in HTML, plus Outlook still doesn't follow CSS very well in HTML emails.
After moving to CS6 on a Mac, I can't get the property inspector to allow me to edit HTML Cell properties in the property inspector.  Everything is grayed out.  I'm sure this is some setting somewhere but I can't find it.  In Preferences I do have "HTML instead of CSS" set.  Note that in CS6 on my PC I AM able to edit these fields and change alignment and other cell propertie.s  But, see below, on the Mac, everything is grayed out and I can't edit anything.
It's got to be a setting somewhere.  How do you over ride CS6 insistance on CSS and HTML blocking and go back to ability to set HTML properties in the property inspector?  There has to be something set different on my PC install than my Mac install but I can't figure out what, as I personally don't remember changing anything and both are brand new installs of CS6, and both are editing the same file.
HELP!  Thanks!

Hi Nancy,
Thanks so much for the response, and I understand CS6 is more standards compliant, but they did NOT remove the ability to make these changes.  You’re missing that I AM able to change and edit in the property inspector to my hearts content in CS6 on my WINDOWS install.  See this screen shot – I can click in the property inspector for a cell and change alignment, etc, and CS6 happily makes the code (like it should) for me.  But on the MAC, it’s grayed out per my original post.  There is a setting I’m missing that I can’t find, or does CS6 Mac not work like CS6 Windows?  Something doesn’t add up.

  • Right click edit gone and toolbar buttons are black and white, HELP! CS6 Dreamweaver, post update.

    Right click to edit is gone and buttons are grayscale in CS6 Dreamweaver. Between yesterday and today my toolbar buttons went from color to grayscale and my ability to right click code and choose edit is gone. I did the update they pushed out. Ideas?

    The Creative Cloud version of DW changed a bunch of stuff, I think the Edit Tag dialogue was one of them. Here's a few links discussing the changes...

  • HT4589 When will we get an update, that allows us to set white with a pipet?

    I find it very time consuming to colour grade. Where is the pipet to set white?

    FCP X does allow you to analyze the footage on ingest for auto color balance and use that as a starting point.
    If you want more powerful grading you might want to look at Davinci Resolve Lite which is free.
    As to when you will get the next update and what it might contain, speculation about that is not allowed on these boards according to the TOU. In any case, those who know can't speak.

  • CS6 page settings using Property inspector will not save [subject edited by moderator]

    I have a student who is working on building a webpage using a CSS template. They are trying to change their page settings (for example, the color of their hyperlinks) using the menu at the bottom of the page. However, these settings will not save. If anyone can give me an idea of how to move forward, I would appreciate it. Thank you

    Which version and build # of DW CS6?
    Do you have all the latest updates?
    Also which operating system?
    Has DW always behaved this way or is this something new?

  • Cant get CS6 Master Collection to Install! HELP!!!!!

    Cant get CS6 Master Collection to Install. Migrated to a new Mac Pro 5,1 Single Quad Core 3.2, 32GB of Ram. CS6 Apps worked fine until I tried to launch Illustrator. Illustrator just hangs and finally have to force quit. Tried reinstalling it, and the intalller and uninstaller don't work. I've restarted as suggested...same thing. I've use the Adobe Cleaner...no luck. Downloaded the installer again and tried....no luck.
    Bunch of errors starting with "DW051". All end with "has changed." I've called tech support and retried all the above...no luck. (Poorest customer support on the planet)
    Attached is an image of the messages including the errors. Please help. I'm loosing my mind.

    Thanks Manish-Sharma. I found solution on another post yesterday but I tried all the ways listed above again....no results though. The only progress I did make is that the installer does run and finish! Finally got this new result by placing the current Illustrator Folder from the Applications folder into the trash without deleting it. I launched the Master Collection installer and only selected Illustrator for the install. (All other apps work fine) It did install the new Illustrator application in the Applications folder. Then I launched Illustrator and the same thing happens. The icon starts bouncing in the dock, but that's it. No startup screen...nothing. After a few minutes I check and "Adobe Illustrator is not responding" so I have to force quit.
    I was on the phone with Adobe support and established a case # 0183688527 yesterday. They had me do the things you've suggested and more with no results. Sent them an update on other methods I've tried last night. They're supposed to get back to you in 24 hours. 28 hours later.....Haven't heard a word from them.
    Any more input is welcome. This really sucks.
    Thanks again for your input

I've spent all day trying to troubleshoot and I have I'm desperate to get it working. I have two major deadlines. Any help you can provide would be extremely appreciated!

  • Why is dreamweaver cs6 saving my files as a firefox html document?

    Hi, I am using dreamweaver cs6 on win xp sp 3 and it keeps saving my files as a firefox html document and connot figure out how to stop this as i need to get on to my ftp to upload files. It also loaded my site files from dreamweaver cs 5 as a firefox html document. I am running firefox ver 13.0.1. Any Help would be usefeful. I tried google searching and found nothing. And the adobe general help didn't wok either.

    Firefox is probably your default web browser which launches anytime you click on an .htm or .html file.
    If you want HTML files to launch inside Dreamweaver instead of Firefox, open your file manager (Windows Explorer), and change file associations for .html & .htm files.  When you do this, the icon next to those files will change from FF to DW.

  • Help! CS6 not holding preferences

    I have CS6 8.0.1 running on an iMac with OSX 10.8.2. We just bought both the iMac and CS6 about a month or so ago and ever since then I haven't been able to get CS6 to keep the preference when I shut down my system for the weekend or if InDesign crashes. It keeps my personal work spaces but every Monday morning I have to go into my preferences panel and put everything back to where I want it (units of measure, bleed prefs, spell check etc..). I have been setting my prefs just like on older versions of CS but to no avail and haven't noticed anything wierd happening with Photoshop or Illustrator just seems to be InDesign.
    Also, several times I have even had to go back and enter my serial key just to get it to open. I haven't had to do this with any other CS6 program - just InDesign.
    This is the only version of CS that I have on this machine (seeing how it's new). I also run an older G5 that has all previous versions of CS (except 5 or 5.5 - we have an older iMac for those versions). I also run CS5 for my home version and have not had any problems with it.......... Help...... I have looked around online and can't really find anything that deals with this issue. Any help would be great.
    Have a blessed day.

    Well, it's now May and we have been busy at work and haven't had time to post on this issue anymore. I uninstalled all 3rd party plugins but to no avail. I am still having this same issue. I have also tried all of the above mentioned. The only thing that I haven't done yet (and may do this weekend) is uninstall/reinstall..... Anyone else having this issue?

  • How do I get CS6 to not distort color when using Lion and printing from Epson R2880?

    Ever since I up-graded to CS5 , the color has been distorted.  It is not an Epson Lion problem because printing from preview or iPhoto the color is perfect.
    Adobe has known about this problem since January 23, 2012.  Their help people have taken over my computer for hours at a time and not been able to discover the source of the problem
    I thought they might have fixed it with CS6 but no luck  I chose use CS4 settings because CS4 had worked.
    I printed using Printer Manages Color and color matching, epson color.  I selected the correct media.  The prints came out dark.  The yellows turned green and the greens turned blue/green, reds became dull and blues a bit dark.
    This is most upsetting because I cannot afford to buy a new printer and ink.  Also I should not have to buy new equipment because Adobe cannot make their product work correctly.

    If the printer prints colors accurately from Lion apps,which it does, then the problem is in Adobe.
    Uh...ok...then the REST of the FREE world is going down the tubes because obviously, Adobe has screwed up?
    Some of us are using LR4 and CS6 to print and getting accurate and excellent results with Lion (10.7.3) so the question begging for an answer is why can't you?
    Read very carefully what Chris wrote...the odds are REAL GOOD you are NOT using the correct settings...but since you don't bother to show or explain the EXACT settings you are using when printing, we'll never know. Will we?
    If the vast magority of the user base is NOT having an issue, to what do you attribute the disconnect? User Error is the single most likely result...
    You want help? Or do you want to argue?
    I know a little bit about printing and I seem to be able to print with zero issues on a wide variety of Epson printers...you wanna place blame or do you wanna learn how to fix the problem? (clue, the odds are it isn't Adobe nor Epson leading to the problems, it's you bud).

  • CS6 Dreamweaver and InDesign quit immediately on startup.

    I have installed CS6 Design and Web Premium on a MacBookPro OS10.9.4 that also has CS5 Design and Web Premium installed.  Photoshop, Illustrator, Bridge, Fireworks and Flash all open without problem. BUT CS6 Dreamweaver and InDesign quit immediately on startup. CS5 programs all still open without problem.

    Yes! I beleive this is a bug in the Installer where it leaves ~/Library/Preferences/Adobe InDesign/Version 8.0 marked read-only, and then InDesign crashes early in the startup process (in the "AdobeBIB" component) when it tries to write its preferences and it fails to do so.
    This is a longstanding bug and nobody understands why the installer messes it up.
    So the answer is to either trash the above folder, or to hit Cmd-I (File Info) on it in the Finder and make sure it is set to read-write under Sharing and Permissions.
    I just got done complaining a lot about this to Adobe, actually, last night. Bugs 3478250, 3478260, 3478263, 3478267, and 3424687.
    (Of course, I might be wrong and it could be somethign totally different).
    If the above doesn't work, try a new user account on your machine.
    Oh, and also, you'll need to hit Cmd-Shift-G in the Finder and type in ~/Library to get to the hidden library folder (though there are other ways).

  • CS6 Dreamweaver frozen on mac

    I keep trying to start Dreamweaver CS6 on my MAC, but it keeps freezing and I have to force quit.  Is there is fix on this?
    I am using:
    OS X Yosemite 10.10.2
    Processor: 3 GHz 8-Core Intel Xeon E5
    Memory: 64 GB 1866 MHz DDR3 ECC
    Graphics: AMD FirePro D500 3072 MB

    Did you just install Yosemite on a system that already had DW or is this a fresh install on a new machine?
    You might need to reinstall Java SE 6. DWCS6 won't run without it: Java for OS X 2014-001
    If it had previously run correctly on Yosemite, I would clear the cache and restore preferences:
    Deleting a corrupted cache file
    Restore preferences | Dreamweaver CS4, CS5, CS5.5
    Restore preferences | Dreamweaver CS6, Dreamweaver CC
    Make sure to turn on your hidden files first though, or you won't be able to get to those locations discussed...

    Hi,
    So you are trying to save the SPUser value in the "Nominated" column.If yes then this code snippet will be helpful.
    using (SPSite site = new SPSite(SPContext.Current.Site.Url))
    using (SPWeb web = site.OpenWeb())
    SPUser userObj = SPContext.Current.Web.EnsureUser("Murugesan");
    SPFieldUserValue userValue = new SPFieldUserValue(SPContext.Current.Web, userObj.LoginName);
    SPList list = web.Lists["Project"];
    SPListItem item = list.Items.Add();
    item["Title"] = "Project-2";
    item["Manager"] = userValue;
    item.Update();
    Run this code with elevated privilege.

  • HT1212 for an iTouch 4 my young daughter thinks she remembers her password now but we have already exceeded the attempts and it says "iPod is disabled" connect to iTunes.  Is there any way we can get the device to allow another attempt?

    My 7 year old daughter has an iPod Touch 4 and she used the wrong password too many times.  She thinks she remembers her password now but we have already exceeded the attempts and it says "iPod is disabled" connect to iTunes.  Is there any way we can get the device to allow another attempt?  We are traveling this week so don't have access to the serial number or the computer that was used to originally set up her iTouch.  I don't even know what operating system it's on and can only see the home screen.

    Restoring the iPod will do nothing to his iPhone.
    When you restore it wipes the iPod clean no matter what computer you use.
    The only plus to doing it form your home computer is if you have a backup stored there, then you can restore from the backup once it's done wiping.
    If you are away form your home computer, go ahead and use the computer you have to restore it, then when you get home, you can restore form any backup you may find. You can use this to help you do that when you get there: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
