Text not appearing in Design view

There is a twist here...
One one mac with CS5 Dreamweaver the text shows up in the design window just file
On ANOTHER mac with CS5 Dreamwearer certain text doesn't show up. The text is black so that isn't an issue. Why would there be a difference between MACS? I am also attaching the Preference file image.
Specifically the following AND another couple of places where BOLD FACE text is located:

re-open then sometimes the delete key function is re-gained....
Funny.

SSI do not appear in design view; CS4

All of a sudden.. my ssi's do not appear in design view in CS4. This is occuring in multiple web sites that prevously DID display SSI's
Yes.. I do have Preverances --> Invisible Elements --> Server Sides Includes: Show contents of include file IS checked
Yes.. I have checked both the local and remote information in Site definitions .. all are correct. (and none have changed since the problem emerged) All sites are set to site root relative.
Yes.. I have checked each include. None has any doc type, html or body tags.
No.. LIve View is not turned on
Yes.. the pages all validate
Yes.. I have tried to 'start from scratch' .. new site, new site definitions.. new .shtml pages and new includes. No love!
After inserting a new SSI using the insert menu (typical code result: ) the properties bar seems to get stuck .. displaying the ssi code and not allowing me to select other elements on the page to edit properties. A restart of Dreamweaver solves the problem. But boy is this annoying.
All of the includes do display properly when uploaded to the web server and viewed in a browser.
I've searched the forum.. and read any post that seemed even remotely relavant and have not been able to solve the problem.
I would really appreciate your help. I am a web designer and have used Dreamweaver for many, many years.

Nice site. I drive by that school quite often when I shop in Thousand Oaks.
Crashes, installation, JavaScript errors, and unexplained problems
If Dreamweaver is acting erratically, or if you see a message saying "the following JavaScript error(s) occurred", it's usually a sign of a corrupt cache file. The first thing to try should always be to delete the file cache. If that doesn't work, delete your personal Configuration folder. Full instructions are in Deleting a corrupted cache file.

Heading elements do not appear in design view

Hello,
heading (h1, h2 ...) elements do not appear in design view. anybody know how to fix this?
btw seems like DW gets worse with each successive version.

I really don't have any troubleshooting advice because I can't reproduce the problem and have not seen this problem being raised previously in the forums.
If you have deleted the personal config file and cache and that hasn't helped, it may be time to uninstall and reinstall.
Also double check your computer for any viruses or malware etc.,
Depending on what version you are using then, you may want to run the uninstall scripts to make sure you remove *all* files associated with the software and start from scratch.
If you are having problems with Creative Suite 3, I would suggest using the CS3Clean script: http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cs3clean.html
There is a different version for Creative Suite 4: http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cs4clean.html.
WARNING: The CS3Clean and CS4Clean scripts remove from your computer EVERYTHING related with the CS3 and CS4 suites, apart from any documents that you have created using Adobe programs. Make sure you have your installation disks and serial numbers available for reinstallation.
If all else fails, then you may need to contact Adobe Technical Support.

DW8 text not visible in design view

I have imported a site from DWMX(6?) to DW8.
In DWMX everything is visible in design view.
In DW8 the text is NOT visible in design view unless I switch off rendering using CSS (Display Styles Off), but displays fine in a browser.
If I switch off rendering using CSS I can see and edit the text but it is not remotely WYSIWYG
The pages are created from templates and were originally created using DW4 or DW3.
The site URL is http://www.decisionmodels.com/
There has to be a simple solution to this but I just cant find it.

font verdana { font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; }
I changed the font from default because one of the old fixes I found for Dreamweaver suggested that... I could change it back.
You are aware that this is not a legitimate CSS selector, right?
Forgive my ignorance, but what does this mean? Does it refer to my font selection? Or something else?
It means that your selector "font verdana" is not a legal selector. It says to find all "verdana" tags that are descendents of a font tag. Clearly there is no valid HTML tag called "verdana". If it was your intention to create a rule that would allow you to format text as verdana, or geneva or sans-serif, then that would have to be done with a CLASS selector, e.g.,
.font_verdana { font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; }
Note the leading 'dot' and the underscore - spaces are not allowed in selector names.

Img Does not appear in Design View

Dreamweaver 8
Have an image that I would presume has a simple enough presence in the page...
<table width="985" border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" height="100">
   <tr>
      <img src="Includes/Images/ButtonsNBanners/bnrPrimaryTop.png" alt="test" width="1074" height="94" border="0" usemap="#Map1">
   </tr>
</table>
...and sure enough the image appears as expected at runtime.
But within Dreamweaver Design View it does not appear at all.
Why?
I have multiple other images on this page that all appear within the designer as expected, but not this one.
My main problem right now is that I need a map associated with this image and would really like to use DW's tools to create and position the <area> tags.
Has anyone seen this sort of behavior in DW8 before?
All input welcome and appreciated!!!

That was it KathH --- THANKS!!!
Had created the row w/out <td> cells to carry the top banner (sort of cheating) on spanning the cells i guess ( )
Anyway, re-wrote so that the banner table was independant and did not require span and picked up the data table independantly.
Problem solved and designer picked up the image precisely.
Thanks again!!!
Curious though that the image is dependant on the <td> tag. I would have expected any image called within the page to display in the designer regardless of location in the html.
Oh well, fixed and onto the next challenge.
Once more THANKS!!!

Text Not seen in design view

Dear Experts,
I am helping my brother out with a site he uses for his
company. It seems to be made with GoLive. Anyway, the site was a
huge mess, so I tried to tidy it up with CSS etc.
Now it is much more orderly, and everything was looking fine
last night in design view. I shut down. When I just revisited the
local version today, when I view all the pages, the text does not
show up in design view. When I view the page with the browser
preview, I see all the text. What could be the situation?
I thot maybe the pages got disconnected from the css style
sheet, but they are connected.
Any thots?
Sincerely,
Hope

Changes not appearing in Design View

I am just starting out in DW5.5 and I have been using a good tutorial but I have run into some buggy behavior. For example I have inserted a CSS style rule but the changes I am making (e.g., box height, color) -- though they appear in the coding view and in the Properties panel -- are not showing up in Design View. I have tried saving, quitting and then restarting but that didn't work. The "refresh" button is grayed out.
Any ideas?
thanks.

Some things to check:
You are working in a Defined Site, right? Sites > Manage Sites > New Site >...
Have you saved your CSS and HTML files?

Code in will not appear in design view window of CS3 :(

When I was using CS2 and placed code in an HTML page like
this: <$JobTitle$> it would show up in the Design
window...but in CS3 it's invisible to the design view/window. Is
there any way to get it to show again? It would be a HUGE
help!!!

Yes, I do have it checked. It makes no difference with these
tags, unfortunately. :(
And I will admit, they'll be a dozen or so very happy people
if you can help me figure this one out.
I tried to compare all the settings under preferences between
CS2 and CS3, and they look the same. That's definitely why I'm
asking teh question here.

Images and styles not showing in Design view on CS3

Hi all,
I am playing around with a CSS website template that I downloaded and
opened in DW-CS3. I am just using this to learn and play around with. It
came with the style sheet, jpg images etc.
I just noticed that when in Design view for the index page, that the images
and styles, menus are not displaying, only the html text is visible in Design view.
When I preview the site with a browser like IE or FF, it displays fine along with
any changes I have made.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Regards,
dano

position: relative;
right: 200px;
padding-left: 300px;
z-index: 23;
valid-xhtml10-blue.gif also appears in the assets panel
Any ideas whats going on?

Put a border around #footerPanvalid to make sure that you can
see it in
Design view.

VB code not showing in Design View

I am working with a form that has VB code for validation and need to style it with CSS. The problem is the form is not visible in Design View. The code is there, the page renders and works fine in a browser but has anyone seen this issue before? I have a similar form that uses C# and it shows up fine in Design view.
the page is here: http://www.housing.ucsb.edu/digiknow/digiknow_form.aspx

Display problems are most often caused by malformed code or an imbalance in opening and closing <div> tags. Try validating your code and fix reported errors.

Lists not showing in Design view

If I preview page in browser, I can see the bulleted list,
but it is not visibile in design view, pretty annoying. Anyone know
why this might be happening? I validated my code and got no
errors...

Open any html page
either type the element in code view, say h1. Hello
it doesn't show up in Design View (It's visible in Live view however)
Or,
In Design View type Hello (yes, it's visible!)
Highlight Hello, then right click (I use a 2 button mouse) select from the pop-up menu and format the hello as h1. Hello
It disappears from the design view... (yes, it's visible in Live View)
Menu spry's and other "widgets" inserted do not display correctly in Design View, but display Okay in Live view
(This behaviour did not happen in CS4)

After reopening dreamweaver files, the table and its contents are not shown in design view

I got a problem with deisgn view which has stucked me for the whole week. I've designed a webpage with dreamweaver CS4. After reopening this webpage, I got problem to see the tables and images inserted in dreamweaver (the sliced images from fireworks works well). Somehow this problem only existed in design view, but NOT is browswer view/ live view. I thought it is the setting problem, but I tried to reopen the webpage I designed earlier... got no problem in either design or live view. I also tried starting over another new file, same problem existed (tables/images do not show in design view) I am really confused. Any thoughts?
I've already done my research everywhere, but cannot find solution.

Thank you so much... it works...
I should come here earlier... wasted lots of time !!

XSLT Mapper file does not open in design view

XSLT mapper file in the composites exported from weblogic EM as a jar and imported in JDeveloper 11.1.14 does not open in design view. There is no option of design view itself in the tab structure. It is viewable only in source view.
Please suggest, how do I view the desgn view of the xslt mapper?
Thanks,
Promiit

When you export composites from Weblogic EM in jar format, the resulting files are differently formatted from what was used for deployment.
So, basically, the XSLT file, you are trying to open in Jdeveloper has lost the "mapSources" and "mapTargets" sections, which are generally present in the header section of the jdeveloper-generated XSLT file. Try to manually hand-crack those sections and you should be good to go.
Hope it helps !
