Type Japanese in code view of DW CS3

Hi,
I have a form for submitting answers to questions at my
Japanese website. The form is an .aspx file.
I want to be able to type some Japanese that would show up on
the form. When viewers see the Japanese (it's a question for them
to answer), then they type in Japanese in the form response
section.
My problem is that I cannot see the form properly in design
view of DW CS4 but I can easily find and change the correct line in
CODE view. But, in code view I can't type in Japanese. I keep
getting the error mentioned below.
So.....is there some way to be able to type in Japanese in
code view, so that the question I am typing shows up?
The error that shows up is:
The document's current encoding can not correctly save all of
the characters within the document. You may want to change to UTF-8
or an encoding that supports the special characters in this
document.
How do I change to UTF-8 coding, etc.so I can type in CODE
view in Japanese????
Thanks in advance for any help offered.
Jane

Put this somewhere between <head> and </head>

When I type a link to a page in my root directory in code view and I click on the link in live view it does not go to that page. But if I preview in a browser it works fine.

When I type a link to a page in my root directory in code view and I click on the link in live view it does nothing. When I then go to preview in a browser it works fine. Can anybody help?

I am not sure however I suspect live view is for viewing the page you are working on. You would have to open the other page to see it in live view. The browser on the other hand is doing what it is designed to do. I jump back and forth all the time from live view to the browsers I have installed.

Code view not in synch with Design view (Dreamweaver CS3)

Hello All,
On my main work PC, I am running Dreamweaver CS3. When I am
working in split view (with both Design and Code view visible) when
I click on an element (say, a button) in Design view, the code view
automatically shows me the code for the element that I am working
on. That way, if I need to manually edit the code, I can click on
the Code view and make the appropriate changes.
On my laptop I am also running Dreamweaver CS3 However, when
I am working in split view and I click on a element in Design view,
my code view does NOT update itself and continues to show the last
bit of code I was working on in Code view. While this could come in
handy at times where i want design view and code view to show me
two different things, I mostly would like code view to update
automatically. Currently the only way I can get code view to update
on my laptop is to hit the "refresh design view (F5)" button. Is
there a way to do this automatically? Is this an option in
Dreamweaver preferences because I don't see it anywhere.
Thanks so much for your help.

CS3: Code View hangs badly on complex pages

I have a significant number of web applications that are
written with the Fusebox development methodology, which makes for
at least one page with a sizeable cfswitch tag. In Dreamweaver MX,
these pages would hang if I opened them in design view, but code
view would be perfectly responsive. In CS3, they hang in code view
exactly the same as in design view, and worse so than MX ever was
in design view. A file with a 1308 line CFSWITCH statement froze
CS3 for about 8 minutes and refroze every time I clicked in the
file (half an hour later I finally got the file closed and opened
it up in TextPad to do the 10 second change that I needed to do).
Anyone know if there's a fix for this?

Update - I did find a partial fix... there's a bug in CS3
that's really odd, something to do with when daylight savings time
changes, it was making dreamweaver randomly crash when I clicked on
items (despite that it says it only affects php and asp files, it
was doing it with coldfusion, too). When I followed the
instructions in the fix to get rid of the crashes, it seemed to
improve performance with the other issue as well. Not completely
fix it, but it seemed to hang less often and for a shorter time.
YMMV though.

DW CS3 crashes in code view

Just yesterday, DW CS has started to crash the moment I try
to edit code in several of our critical .asp pages. I can these
pages in design mode (not much help) and can edit other pages in
code mode. But as soon as I click my cursor inside the code view of
these files, the application crashes.
Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks,
Tim

Pasting smart quotes and apostrophes in code view.

Sine upgrading to Dreamweaver CS5, I haven't been able to copy/paste smart quotes and apostrophes into code view without them automatically being converted to straight quotes.
For example, the following sentence (notice the curly quotes):
John’s new song is called “DW Blues”
would get pasted into Code View as:
John's new song is called "DW Blues"
Notice the smart quotes and apostrophe are replaced with single and double ticks, or "straight quotes." While this seems like a minor detail, it's extremely important to our writers and editors to have them appear on the website exactly as typed.
If I do the same copy/paste in Design View (doc type is XHTML Transitional), it appears as:
John's new song is called "DW Blues"
The characters are still replaced, and the straight quotes are then entity encoded (as expected).
This doesn't happen with other valid UTF-8 characters like ™, ®, —, etc., or with any other code editors I've used, including DW CS3.
Is there a hidden preference somewhere to disable this "feature," or is it just a bug?
Please help!

It's now 4 years since jsparacio posted this, and I just wanted to let everyone know that I had -- and am still having -- the exact same problem with Dreamweaver CS5 (running first under Windows XP, then Windows 7, and now again with Windows 8.1). So it's not just Macs that are affected.
FWIW, I have set my DW CS5 Paste preferences to the 3rd of 4 options available
    1 - Text Only
    2 - Text With Structure
    3 - Text With Structure Plus Basic Formatting
    4 - Text With Structure Plus Full Formatting
in the EDIT > PREFERENCES > Copy/Paste Preferences dialog box.
But the Paste Special command ignores this setting, giving me only the first 2 options from which to choose, with option 2 the default selection for Paste Special operations (options 3 and 4 are grayed out, and can't be selected).
According to David Sawyer McFarland's _Dreamweaver CS5: The Missing Manual_ (O'Reilly Media, 2010), the reason these are grayed out is because I am pasting unformatted ASCII text which I generated in a program editor called "UltraEdit":
    "... Choose EDIT > PASTE SPECIAL to open the Paste Special window. Here, you can choose which of the four techniques you wish to use ... sort of. You're limited to what Dreamweaver can paste. For non-Microsoft Office products, you can use only the first two options--the others are grayed out--whereas you can choose from any of the four with text copied from Word or Excel." (McFarland, p. 81)
Regardless of such restrictions, standard copy-and-paste (CTRL+C followed by CTRL+V) works just fine for me using Dreamweaver CS4 (i.e., I have never needed to use the Paste Special command), but with DW CS5, neither Paste command (CONTROL+V or CTRL+SHIFT+V) works properly with typographic/curly/smart quotes.
All typographic quotes -- ASCII-0146 and ASCII-0147 (double quote marks); plus ASCII-0145 and ASCII-0146 (single quote marks, for quotes within a quote) -- are converted to inch (" is entered in the code) and foot (' is entered in the code) marks when I copy-and-paste text with these characters into Dreamweaver's Design View.
When I copy this same plain ASCII text directly into the code (rather than using Design View), typographic double open & close quotes are converted to the inch (") mark, and typographic single open & close quotes are converted to the foot (') mark.
The beginning of this week, I installed Dreamweaver CS5, ver. 11.0, Build 4909 under Windows 8.1 OS on my new Ultrabook. I was hoping that under Windows 8.1, DW CS5's handling of typographic quotes might improve so that I can actually use this program that I purchased 4 years ago. Alas, no such luck: I continue to have the same problem I had when I first upgraded to Dreamweaver CS5 back in August 2010 (then running under Windows XP on my desktop computer).
Back in August 2020, when I first asked about fixes, I was told to change the Title/Encoding setting of Page Properties to "Western European" -- which I tried, but it didn't work then, and it doesn't work now ... and even if it did, it wouldn't be a proper fix for the problem as I have plenty of good reasons for wanting my HTML page Title/Encoding set to Unicode (UTF-8), not Western European ("charset=iso-8859-1").
The ability to copy-and-paste typographic quotes is such a big deal for me that I chose back in August 2010 to revert to Dreamweaver CS4, which I've been using ever since.
It is *very* frustrating that, 4 years later, I still can't use this program, and shall be reverting to DW CS4, yet again.
I continue to be completely flummoxed by this. Every other program with which I am familiar converts non-typographic quotes to typographic/curly/smart quotes ... never have I seen the process automated in reverse!

Design view in DreamWeaver CS3 disabled for CSS & Java

I currently use Adobe Dreamweaver CS3, and only some files have the option to view them in code AND in design view. This works for most files (HTML, PHP, etc). However, anytime I create a new CSS or Java file, the design view is disabled:
I have already tried the two other solutions I've found in this forum.
First I tried Preferences > File Types / Editors, and I deleted all of the file types in the "Open in Code View" menu (pictured below).
I restarted DW, and it didn't work.
Then I tried several steps to re-create the Configuration folder (which it did, but the problem remained) listed here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/401/kb401118.html.
Still nothing. HTML, PHP, ASP and all other files have the Design View and Split View available, but CSS and Java do not. I would really like to use DW to start editing CSS, but do not know it well enough to write in code and therefore could really use that handy Design View so I can learn as I tweak it.
Any help much appreciated - thanks!

HTML, PHP, ASP and all other files have the Design View and Split View available, but CSS and Java do not.
That's correct. That's as it should be.
A CSS file contains a bunch of text only CSS rules. Javascript is text-only script. There's no layout to see for CSS and JS files in Design and Split View so they're disabled.
Files with layout e.g. .htm, .php have Design View because they're web pages with a layout which can be viewed.
I would really like to use DW to start editing CSS, but do not know it well enough to write in code and therefore could really use that handy Design View so I can learn as I tweak it.
Open any .htm or .php (or other) web page and its associated CSS file.
Then tweak the CSS either via Code View in the CSS file, or using the DW CSS Editor when viewing the .htm/.php file, and see the formatting changes applied in Design View in the .htm (or .php) file.
Do not rely on DW's Design View as an absolute reference for pixel perfect accuracy. It will always be an approximation only to assist visually oriented web designers while editing.
Always test all CSS rules and edits in a range of browsers. Browser support for CSS rules and effects varies. Not all browsers support everything on offer in CSS1, CSS2 and CSS3.

CS5: Pasting smart quotes into code view problem

Hi all,
In my blogging workflow, I copy the blog text from from MacJournal into the code view in Dreamweaver CS5. In CS3, it seems that DW allowed the left & right smart and unicode quotes to be pasted in untouched. However, DW CS5 seems to be converting all single ‘ & ’ to the ASCII ' and all “ & ” to ASCII ". Is there a way to turn this off?
I don't want to paste the text into the design view because I don't want DW to auto format the text. I got some specific formatting that I like to do.
Thanks!
Steven

Yes, the appropriate meta tag is in place. In Preferences, UTF-8 is selected under Fonts. Try pasting:
“Test”
into the code view and see what happens. Hmm, Just tried pasting the above into the Design View and the same thing happened. The curly quotes where changed into straight quotes. BTW, I'm runn ing DW under Mac OS X Lion.
I pasted the same text in another app, TextEdit, and the curly quotes pasted just fine.
I need the curly quotes because I change them into ‘, ’, “, and ” (‘ ’ “ ”) for compatibility with older browsers (pre-IE6). Yes, my site has been visited by such older browsers.
Thanks!
Steven

Text wrapping in code view

In Preferences, I have checked the option Automatic wrapping
after column
76. However some rows can't wrap at the specified column
because the tags in
that rows can't be destributed in two lines. So, DW (8 and
now CS3)
hard-breake them at the end of the window, resulting in a new
line without
line number (I have Line numbers checked under View > Code
view options
menu).
Is there a setting for not breaking those tags at the end of
the window?
(I'm only speaking about the long tags and not the plain
text, that I srtill
want it wrapped at column 76 so, I can't uncheck the Option
Word wrap under
View > Code view options menu, because it overrides the
wrapping after
column 76 option of the Preferences, making not only the long
tags exceeding
window's right edge, but plain text, too).
Thank you in advance
Please, remove hyphens to contact me

Tun off this setting:
View > Code View Options > Word Wrap

Code View Toolbar Issue

I've had a weird issue under Dreamweaver 8.02. It started
under Vista and of course I blamed the OS and went back to XP. Well
now it's occurring there as well. It all happens in code view which
is where I work all the time. The toolbar buttons will not work. I
can't move to Split or Design view or edit the title from the
toolbar.
I've tried looking around in the toolbar XML files, but
nothing seems to help.
Any thoughts?

It sure does happen for me, and I'm using CS3 on
Mac/WXPPro/Vista.

Code View issue

In Dreamweaver 8, when you place your cursor at any point in
Design View, that area will be automatically selected in Code View.
For some reason, this doesn't happen in Dreamweaver CS3. I hope
it's just a bug and gets fixed soon. It's a very useful feature,
and until things are clarified, I'm switching back to Dreamweaver
8.

It sure does happen for me, and I'm using CS3 on
Mac/WXPPro/Vista.

ClearType makes fonts in Dreamweaver code view hard to read

I'm using Dreamweaver 8.0.2 with Windows Vista Business. As
you know, Vista has a feature called "ClearType," which is supposed
to help smooth out the on-screen fonts. It normally does do this,
but for some reason, in Dreamweaver code view, some of the edges of
fonts are cut off, making it very difficult to read at times. See
pic here:
http://www.klife.com/fontscutoff.jpg
I've tried changing the display fonts within Dreamweaver
(from Courier New to Arial, etc.), but it doesn't help. Actually,
Arial is worse. But here's what fixes it: turning off ClearType. I
haven't noticed ClearType messing any fonts up in programs except
for Dreamweaver. Why is DW doing this and is there anything I can
do to get ClearType to work with it?

You might want to try Clear Type Tuner. It is a Microsoft
tool to let you
adjust your clear type settings to your liking. It was
written for XP. I'm
not sure if they have a Vista version out yet, but the XP
version might
work.

Here is an online version, which I have not tried.

Getting rid of Multiple Spaces in Code View (after Copying/Pasting)

Hello,
I'm trying to find a way to get rid of multiple spaces between words in Dreamweaver CS3's code view.
Oftentimes, when I copy/paste text from elsewhere (e-mail, website, etc), the Dreamweaver code shows up with multiple spaces. Normally, that wouldn't be problem -- except that my blog's auto-tag plug-in doesn't detect selected phrases when there are multiple spaces between words, e.g., it'll detect "Swiss Alps" in a post but not "Swiss Alps" (notice the extra space between words in the second phrase).
If at all possible, I'd like to be able to keep Dreamweaver's text formatting option when I copy and paste, as that means I don't need to manually put words in bold/italics.So, is there a way to keep that option while getting rid of all the extra spacing between words?
By the way, I'm familiar with Wordpress CSS, but not with Dreamweaver CSS. Not sure if there's any difference.
Any assistance would be much appreciated.

I make it a point to never paste formatted text into HTML pages. Formatted text from MS Office usually contains a variety of junk you don't want and I don't have that much faith in MS Word code removal tools.
Bold and Italics from Word or Outlook should be changed to current HTML tags of <strong> for bold and <em> or emphasis for italics anyway. Also see Logical Tags here:
http://www.htmlcodetutorial.com/logical.html
Find and replace is good for removing whitespace if you know how to do it correctly. Make backup copies just in case things go wrong. http://www.tjkdesign.com/articles/whitespace.asp

Editable region but not in code view

EDIT: While cooking dinner I thought that the computer "fixes" itself when it reboots what about Dreamweaver? I closed DW down. Reopened the app and voila. I CAN edit that section in code view now. It's weird but it appears to be working. I'll repost if something is amiss again regarding this issue. I'll leave the post up in case it's helpful to anyone else. thanks.
I have new pages made from a template. I can only edit in design view NOT in code view. I get the standard error of I'm trying to edit where I'm not allowed. I've made templates many times but never had this problem (I don't think!). Does someone have a tip or help for me? In addition to this issue I was not able to change the title of the page until I added the editable region in the template for title line. That's always been default editable before. Thanks a lot. I'm using DW8.
begining code from template:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Party Invitation Boutique</title> 
begining code from new pages:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Baby Blue</title> 
-------------then further down on the page is the editable region-------------

<div id="content_right">test only can type in design view. can't add div boxes
even in this editable region. ugh. can't even type next this this text in the
code view. </div>


Best thing you can do in the future is run your code through the validator if the editable region exists:
http://validator.w3.org/
If there are code errors with other tags on the page then it is possible DW is overlooking its own template code. Unfortunately without seeing the whole page I cannot say this is definitely the case, but a likely possibility.
