Site not displaying correctly in DW Design View

This is a weird display problem on one of my sites that I
have not seen before.
I sometimes log into my server remotely and make changes to
the html manually then resave the files. Later I may download the
newly edited files and put them in my backup site folder on my
local machine.
On one particular site, everything looks fine online from my
server, but when looking at the files locally in DW Design view
everything is out of whack. The images are all over the place and
the backgrounds are completely missing. If I preview the it still
looks normal and all the images are in the correct place and
backgrounds are fine. Only displays wrong in DW Design View which
makes it impossible to use the WYSIWYG to edit this site now.
Anyone encountered anything like this?

You are editing the files directly on the server, and not
from a local site?
And which DW are you using?

Https sites not displaying correctly

Here's an interesting problem thats cropped up on a couple of machines here. Hopefully someone else has found the cause!
The problem is that some HTTPS sites are not displaying correctly. We have seen this with vimeo, and with wetransfer. I have included a screenshot of the issue on both safari and on chrome.
Cross checks i've been able to verify:
another machine with the same OS (10.8.5) looking at the same sites is fine and another running 10.9.4 is not, so this appears not to be OS or browser version related.
this does not happen in a different user account on the same machine, so the issue appears to be in the user home.
this happens across all browsers in this user account. so it appears to be a supporting technology or cache going wrong rather than a specific browser.
I have emptied the user preferences, and cache folders with no change.
Clearly i can sidestep this by creating a new user home, but that isn't actually getting to the bottom of what is going wrong, and it would be better to identify the issue!

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

.Mac Web'08 site not displaying correctly in browsers

Just published by first iWeb'08 designed web site.
http://web.mac.com/chasandstephen
Have tested it in Safari 3, Firefox 2, Internet Explorer 7 all on both a Mac and a PC.
What a *&%$#@ shambles.
After spending 4 weeks leaning iWeb'08 and designing this site, with the great help from all you guys:
http://forums.mactalk.com.au/showthread.php?t=41976
http://forums.mactalk.com.au/showthread.php?t=42801
The main problem seems to be text boxes not lining up correctly. Check out the "Links" and "Site Map" pages for the worst offenders. Also the text size has all so mysteriously changed on the Links page.
Any suggestions guys to what has gone badly wrong here?
Our families are hanging out for this.

yippee We have got it working. All the pages now display correctly, except in our windows based Firefox 2 and even then it is only the Welcome page that is the problem. All the text has shrunk and moved over to the far left and all the text on all the pages is slightly fuzzy. All other browsers on Mac and PC work OK.
The main problem was that the "Links" and "Site Map" pages were just one great big text box. After placing each section of text in a text box and aligning it all up, this did the trick. It also now loads faster. It seems by doing it this way iWeb'08 CSS is constrained far tighter.
I suppose what I have learnt from all this is that iWeb'08 is more akin to a Desktop Publishing program as opposed to a Word Processing program. I also have learnt to published first to a local folder and view it locally this way errors can be picked up and corrected quicker and easier.

Server Side Includes not displaying in DW CS3 design view

I have this code in my page (see below):
When I open the file in Dreamweaver MX 2004 in design view,
the page displays correctly. That is, I see the correct styles from
the style sheet contained in Head_Standard.html and the logo/menu
in Logo_TopMenu.html
When I open the page in DW CS3, I do not see the effects of
the style sheet and I do not see the logo/menu.
However, when I change the code for the first include from:
virtual="/ServerSide
to
virtual="
../../ServerSide
then the page renders correctly in Dreamweaver CS3.
My first reaction was: what?! And my question is: how do I
use a root reference inside the head and get it to display properly
in DW CS 3?

"Go to Edit > Preferences > Invisible Elements >
Server-Side Includes (Check this box) to show contents of included
file"
I already do this.
For me:
/ServerSide... does NOT work
../../ServerSide... works
So, a relative reference works and a reference to the root
does not. I have over 20 websites with root references and I need
this to work in DW9.

Muse site not displaying correctly on tablet or phone

Having a problem with Muse displaying on mobile devices correctly.
I built the site using the desktop layout, then the tablet and phone.
When I open the site on mobile device they display correct.
I navigate to other pages and then the site reverts to the desktop version.
I need to know how to remedy this problem. I uploaded the site to
Business Catalyst and GoDaddy with the same results.

Hello,
The issue most likely is that when the phone layout menu items were linked to their related pages, the desktop pages were selected from the "hyperlinks" dropdown, instead of the "desktop" layout pages. There are different sections for desktop phone and tablet layout pages in the "hyperlinks" section as shown in this screenshot: http://screencast.com/t/KBTtyHeKfHj4
Please go to the design view and re-link the phone layout menu items to the phone layout pages.
Hope this helps.
Cheers

Preview and Generate view not displaying the same as design view

RoboHelp HTML Ver 8.0.2.208.
Hi all,
I have a topic that will not generate or preview what is displayed in the design view.
The topic is a table that uses a different image as the background for each cell (from the CSS).
The background images display fine in design view but will not display when previewed or generated. Everything else is displayed but not the backgrounds.
Any ideas.
Thanks
Wowronin

You have this -
</head>
<script>

</script>
<style type="text/css">
#preloader {
     position: absolute;
     top: 0;
     left: 0;
     right: 0;
     bottom: 0;
     background-color: #fefefe;
     z-index: 99;
    height: 100%;
#status {
     width: 200px;
     height: 200px;
     position: absolute;
     left: 50%;
     top: 50%;
     background-image: url(ajax-loader.gif);
     background-repeat: no-repeat;
     background-position: center;
     margin: -100px 0 0 -100px;
</style>
<body>
In other words, you have a script block AND a CSS block between </head> and <body>. That's invalid code. Move it to where it belongs inside the <head> region. You could have found this in an instant by checking the page here - http://validator.w3.org.

Colors and images on itunes U site not displaying correctly.

After the issues of not being able to login this weekend our site has dropped much of it's theming, including colors and images. The page/course thumbnails still show as well as the background image, but all the other areas look like they are missing the background images. Is anyone else having the same issues with their site. This is the original "private" site, not the new PSM version.
Thanks,
Kyle

Yes, my store and another institution as well - we mentioned the new problem here:

Muse site not displaying correctly when 'Published' to BC

Hi all
Strange incidents happening with a Muse site I'm designing for a client. When I use the Publish feature (which uploads the site to the default Business Catalyst domain you get with the Muse subscription) it throws the elements all over the place, so buttons, type, imaegry and widgets aren't wheere they should be.
I've cleared the cache, restarted the browser, tried in other browsers and still the same result, so pretty unhappy.
When I 'Preview' the site in a browser everything seems perfect.
Bizarre thing is when designing my first ste the opposite was the case; lots of visual problems when using 'Preview' but perfect when 'Published' to BC.
Anyone got any ideas as to why this is happening?
All help appreciated

Hi gaurav
Thanks for the reply, think we have the solution. Apparantly Muse is not uploading the updated CSS files. I created a test domain on my own website to use for this project and uploaded via Fetch and everything worked fine.
So it looks like it's an issue with Muse

Web site not displaying correctly in IE7 or lower

Hi. I uploaded my site and thought everything was fine with it. I'm running IE8 and it looks fine for me, but then I checked it on another computer that has IE7 and the formatting looks incorrect. The main content area is way low - you have to scroll down to see it and the banner at the top has a blue line through it - which I think is really just a space with a blue background.... Can anyone help me fix this? Thanks so much.

My dreamweaver cs5 site not displaying correctly

Having a css issue on this site http://mianbusinesslink.com/newsite/ When I add the two banners on the sides the content in the middle goes down. I have tried floating and clearing still no success. The banners are in an outerwrapper div and the rest of the middle section in wrapper div.

Change the #wrapper style like this:
#wrapper {
    width:900px;
    margin: 0 6px;
    background-color: #fff;
   float: left;

Flash not displaying correctly for only one web site

In the last 3 or 4 days I seem to have problems with the flash content of one single web site not displaying correctly from my laptop. I have the same problem from both IE (version7.0.5730.11) and from FF (3.5.8). The site works fine from my desktop system so it's not the site specifically. The site (www.transparent.com/wotd/today/spanish.htm) has an embeded flash segment that does not display correctly and thus I can't click on two of the embedded buttons. It also does not display the background pattern for the flash. I'm running flash 10.0.45.2 based upon right clicking from within the embedded flash which takes me to the Adobe page with my version info. The Adobe page seems to display fine.
As far as I know I'm not having problems with another instance of flash - only this site.
Any thoughts on how to diagnose the problem? I've not added any new programs since this website stopped working but do have some background "tune up" programs that run. I'm assuming some settings are out of wack but don't know where to start looking. Any help folks woulc provide would be appreicated.

Well, that is hard to tell. Like I said the website may have updated their technology. Just because it works with the Desktop, doesn't mean there is not a reason that the laptop might not have a problem. You have 2 different systems and
most likely different configurations.
You may want to check Tools and in the add ons for both, look for Shockwave Flash Object...ActiveX Control..Flash10e.ocx should be installed and enabled.
Also for each check C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash Right click the Flash folder and make sure for IE that the files are vs 10.0.45.2 by checking the properties.
If you have the correct Flash files and the correct SWO then, some other cause would be looked at.
It has been my experience to not "assume", but verify:-)
Thanks,

Search box not displaying correctly in Safari

How can the search bar on the Apple site not display correctly in Safari? I find this odd that Apple would allow this. It displays like 2 search boxes overlapping each other. It still functions correctly but it is a little embarrassing since I am always bashing windows pro browser display.

Hi
Welcome to Apple Discussions
Might be a corrupted cache or cookies issue. First, go to Safari Preferences>Security>Show Cookies. Type Apple in the Spotlight panel. Highlight/remove the cookies. Then, go to the Safari Menu>Empty Cache. Try the Apple site.
If the double search panel still appears, go to the Finder: Your User Account>Library>Caches. There, move to the trash the com.apple.safari file. Restart Safari and try the Apple site again.

Color gradients not displaying correctly

I'm having an issue with my color gradients in type and objects not displaying correctly in the content viewer. For the last app I created, I made sure the colors were RGB and that seemed to fix it. With the current app I'm working on, that dosen't seem to fix the issue. Actually, when I test in the viewer on my iPad, it shows the correct gradient in the split second that it's loading the update but then once it's loaded, it goes to a gray white gradient (the correct gradient is from a yellow to a gray; attached a pict for referrence).
Anyone know why this is happening? Thanks in advance!
UPDATE: It seems to view fine if I preview the page via the foilo overlay but when I preview the folio, that's when it's no viewing correctly.

The Color Picker is unreliable for choosing colors based on what you see because it is not color managed while Color panel and Swatches are.
In your image, the color that you see in the Color Picker is how your monitor displays R=0 G=255 B=0. The color that you see in the Color Panel represents the same values in the file but the color management sends different values to the video card and thus to the monitor to display a color with appearance in the color space selected for the document. In your image this is a CMYK color space which you can check from the Show popup menu at the bottom left of the document window. To check the different values the video card is using, make a screen capture, save the image, open it in Illustrator and measure the color with the eyedropper. The color translation from the values in the file to the video card allows simulation of color spaces other than your monitor's. This simulation is accurate if you have a monitor profile installed in your system that correctly describes how your monitor displays colors. Such profile is created by using a color measuring device and profiling software. If your monitor profile (color space) installed in the system is the same as the color space of the document then there will be no translation (simulation) which in effects shuts down the color management - then the colors in the Color Picker will be the same as in the document. Many people do not bother to get an accurate profile of their monitor and use a generic sRGB profile for that. In such case working in RGB color mode using the sRGB color space (default in the Color Settings) will give the same colors in the Color Picker and the document. This usually is a sign of using a monitor that incorrectly displays colors.

Twitter Bootstrap not displaying correctly in Live View in DW CS4

I am having a problem with Twitter Bootstrap templates not displaying correctly in Live View in Dreamweaver CS4. They look more correct with Live View turned off than on. When I turn Live View on, it looks as if it's not finding a style sheet or something, but they are all href'ed properly. Is there a way to fix this?

Hi kooshetty,
Did you preview the site in various browsers and check the display? You are using an older version of DW, and I am not sure if the Webkit engine supports bootstrap code.
Thanks,
Preran
