Unable to view page content in Design View

I cannot see the content of a page made from a template in normal Design view.
I am able to see the content in Live View mode, but cannot make changes in that view. I can only make changes in code view.
My client would like to make changes to content text in Design view only.
Why am I unable to see/edit in Design view?
Two screencaps and the page code are here:

I am using CS4 DW on Macbook Pro, Leopard.
The template is based on the standard included thrColAbsHdr layout template provided with DW.
Thank you for help.

There are two questions for the Spry Menu 2 version.
1) Do I have to make all menu title and link changes in code? With the regular Spry menu that comes with DW CS5 you can make the changes, and add links to menu items, in the "Design > Properties" window. I would sure like to be able to do that, rather than go to the strictly "code" view and work in there.
2) With the Spry 2 menu at the top ( see www.Aloe-Vera.org/test.htm ) I am unable to go into "Design" view for the page to make changes in the content of the page itself.
Are there any fixes so that I can view and edit the rest of the page in DW CS5 "Design" view?
Thanks, David
1. It is true you cannot use the Properties window. You can use the code view or the Widget Browser to make edits. The Widget Browser has a GUI if you feel more comfortable with that.
2. You should be able to make some changes in Design View, but unfortunately the GUI and clean layout in Design View is gone. Best suggestion I can give you here is to file a bug report/feature request: https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform . I have before with this because I agree it helps newer users and compared to commercial alternatives like those from Project Seven it falls short everytime.

Path issue leaving me unable to add blog post content in design view

Hi guys,
I am unable to add blog post content in design view when a template is applied to my blog. BC support have told me they fixed the problem by making minor changes to the paths of the css and javascript files and then told me to post on here for the solution.
When I call the files using <link rel="stylesheet" href="/css/custom.css" /> everything displays perfectly but in BC I can't add blog post content in design view. I can edit in html but this isn't ideal for clients to update the blog.
If I change the paths to <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/custom.css" /> it fixes the problem and I can then edit blog content in design view but all blog pages that are in folders display incorrectly. Only the main blog page display properly.
I'm sure the answer is simple but I can't find it so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Pete

I took a look at your page URL and can't find any CSS issues or styles that would directly affect you editing/adding content to a blog post via the content editor.
Make sure you either clear your cache or try in another browser to see if the problem is localized to your current browser.
If you still have the problem can you link me to a screencast (you can use Jing if you don't have a screencast program: http://www.techsmith.com/jing.html) of what you are experiencing?

How do I view content in Design view once everything is grayed out?

I was building a web site. When I switched from horizontal view to vertical view I was no longer able to view content in design view. The entire page was grayed out. I'm also not able to view content in design view in other web sites too. How do I fix it?

Well, yes the rest of the phone works, but the sole reason I got it was to able to view these files. I had a Blackberry and I wanted a bigger screen. Work allowed me to choose the iPhone or the latest Galaxy phone. I chose the iPhone because I was told "it just works".
I know the Galaxy reads the .txt files because coworkers have it. If the iPhone wont allow me to read the file then it doesn't matter if "it just works" because it can't do what I need it to do.

How to hide content in design view within Dreamweaver?

How can I hide content in design view within Dreamweaver?
I have a tabbed content menu that uses some javascript. Everything looks great in Live view, but when I go to design view, all the content goes way beyond the div. How can I make it to where I can hide the content in that div in design view or wrap it completely inside of there? It's really hard to explain which is why I provided some pictures!
LIVE VIEW
DESIGN VIEW
Thank you in advance for all the help!
Dalton

Humm....... you want to hide it in Design View whilst working on the rest of the site?
If that is the case set the menu container <div> to display: none; -
<div id="menu" style="display: none;">This is the content menu</div>
Then either set it to display: block; when you're ready to view it live or remove the style completely.

Unable to view Content in Design View

Hello Everyone,
This is my 1st time creating a manual using Robohelp version
7. For some odd reason, in both of the "Topic List" and "Project
Manager" pod. I'm unable to view content in a topic that has
"DHTML" feature in the Design View. I'm able to see perfectly fine
(all content) when in the preview mode. I noticed this issue after
I closed out and open the project. Are you experiencing this
problem at all? Please let me know what's the best way to fix this
issue.
Thank in advance for your help.

Hi Amarelv.
Two things. Make sure you are not using RH over a network
drive and load the two patches available
here.

No Content in Design View

Hello Everyone,
This is my first time creating a manual using Robohelp 7. I'm
unable to view content in a topic that has "DHTML" feature in the
Design View. I'm able to see perfectly fine (all content) when in
the preview mode. I noticed this issue after I closed out and open
the project. Are you experiencing this problem at all? Please let
me know what's the best way to fix this issue.
Thank in advance for your help.

Hi there
RoboHelp (Insert version here) has always seemed to have that
issue. You will be working along and whoosh. The topic refuses to
display in the editor.
Normally closing and restarting RoboHelp changes that where
it works again.
Cheers... Rick

Multi page report in design view and page breaks

Hey,
I have designed a report that spans more then a single 8X11 page in design view. The report has one parent frame and 2 child frames. The parent data prints first and then there is a page break before each child's data. The trouble I am having is that where the report is designed over 2 pages in design view the first child's data prints on the 3rd page because of the page break, and then if there is another child it will start to print on the 5th page, etc. Another problem is with the actual page numbering and that page 1 according to the print out actually is 2 pages because of the 2 page design view. I am looking for a way to design a report on 2 pages in design view but have it to print on only 1 page per parent and child depending on how much data there is. If I could fit all of the data elements on a single page in design view it would be easy, but using 2 pages is making it difficult.
Does this make sense? Any suggestions?
Thanks

Try doing the page break by setting the Page Protect property to Yes, not by Page Break before/after.

Unable to view php files in Design View?

Need help! I cannot select design view when working with a PHP document, the DesignView option is disabled?
My information.
- Dreamweaver CS5
- Mac OSX 10.6 snow Lepoard
I have searched online and I also went through the FAQ but couldn’t find anything relating to this particular issue and my Professor at school said that I need to contact Adobe directly as design view should always be available but all that I would see in Design View are the HTML elements within the PHP file.
The Design View button is disabled, I can not click on it all and so for my class assignments. I have to copy the PHP code into a new HTML document and only then am I able to view the html/php and edit the HTML elements, and then copy and paste it back into the PHP file once I have the html elements/design set up correctly.
I did a similar “Set up PHP for Mac OS X – MAMP” to the version available here, could I have set this up incorrectly and that is why Design View is disabled?
Thanks I appreciate your guys expertise and any help!

Go to Dreamweaver > Preferences, and select File Types / Editors from the Category list on the left. Make sure that .php is NOT listed among the filename extensions in "Open in code view".
Adding a filename extension to that list prevents files from being opened in Design view.

Code view only showing not design view

I was asked to make some changes to a web site, I did not create. I can see the code however I cannot see the design view. I can only see green lines table layout. I need to be able to see the design view to move pictures. I also get a message convert active content. The index page is .php not.html that I am use to.
I really want to fix this site. Please help. Thank you!

How comfortable are you in HTML? How much do you know about PHP?
Note that your attached code file is queued and will likely remain in that state for decades. The better way to do this would be to save the .php page as a .txt file, and upload it somewhere - then post a link to it.

Unable to see page-content control filed in subsite level for responsive sharepoint site !!

Even , I don’t see the page content field in sub site pages for default "Blank Web part Page layout".
I have also noticed that in responsive design webpart page layout is having only
"Page Image" field in first row as shown in following screen:
While in default publishign design , I can see many page content fields as shown
in following screen:
Is this by responsive design ? or Is there any problem in page layout - I am not sure !! :(
Looking really forward for the resolution on this issue.
Thanks and Best regards,

Hello,
Just sharing the root cause of this issue which may help to others facing same.
The reason behind this behavior was actually silly :) which is always the case once we know it !
somehow , page content types was not having "Page-Content" filed rather it was using publishing columns but not page layout columns and hence I was unable to see the page layout columns in my page.
Thanks and Regards,

Cannot view css styles in design view

Is there a way to get Dreamweaver to display style in design
view when the css files are in virtual folders?
Have tried using ASP (Vbscript) snippet to write in the
server URL and using Liveview, but still doesn't display. It
appears that DW only recognizes hard coded relative links or hard
coded full URLs.
Browser displays these documents with no errors.
Please Help! I have users who will be confused attempting to
edit the documents without visible style, and need to use the
virtual folders.
Thanks.
Sean

> Is there a way to get Dreamweaver to display style in

Try using Design Time Stylesheets.
Open the Design-Time Style Sheets dialog box by doing one of
the following:
1. Right-click in the CSS Styles panel, and in the context
menu select
Design-time, or
2. Select Text > CSS Styles > Design-time.

Dreamweaver CC automatically deletes code in code view and elements in design view

When I open a file in Dreamweaver, it automatically shows a * next to the filename - showing it has been edited.
Then often when I select some code in code view, or an element in design view (such as a table, an image, some text) it is suddenly deleted.
The problem is especially bad (happens without fail) if I am switching between programs. But also happens when I'm not switching.
I do not have this problem on a different user account.
I have reinstalled Dreamweaver three times now. Also renamed preference and configuration folders. Tried with a wired mouse and keyboard. Nothing has worked.
I can't think what I did to cause this. I installed MAMP recently - but have uninstalled it correctly I think.
I had an issue with one file in which there were about 30 Spry collapsible panels. I kept getting this warning:
"A script in file Macintosh HD:Applications:Adobe Dreamweaver CC:Configuration:Shared:Spry:DesignTime:EditingUtils.js has been running for a long time. Do you want to continue?"
I have to click 'yes' many times to get into the file, and the warning keeps coming up while the file is open.
However, my big issue of DW CC deleting code and elements happens whether or not this particular file is open.
So this may have nothing to do with it.
Any ideas anyone?
Adobe's customer service has not helped. In fact, I have not even been able to get through to anyone on the phone - having waited literally hours listening to music, and getting shunted from person to person. And then their promised 'call backs' never happen.
Thanks,
- Greg

I do not have this problem on a different user account.
You've got a bad/corrupted user account. Create a new one with Admin level priveleges and delete your old user.

Muse HTML is not loading completely in Chrome on a Mac. Forced to reload page to view page content.

Works fine on Safari - just not Chrome.
Is this a Chrome issue?

Triqita:
I posted the same issue on a different thread and got this answer:
Please see http://muse.adobe.com/exchange-library/chrome-33-webfont-workaround-1
Also note that once Chrome fixes the issue you'll want to remove the suggested workaround and re-publish the site.
It worked!

Page content not viewable in Design View

I am in the process of creating a site and am using a
template for the basis of the pages. All of the pages so far are
working fine, however, when I pasted the nested table into this
page
Sage
Concerts, I was able to edit the content in Design view,
changing the font size, color, etc. After saving the page and
closing it I now can only see the actual content of the page when I
am in Code View. No matter where I click in Design view it's like
I'm trying to access a non-editable region. Not being able to see
the content in design view makes it hard (for me at least) to edit
the page. Any thoughts on why this is happening and how to fix it?
I know it's probably an easy fix but it's driving me nuts... thanks
for your help :)

That's usually an indication of invalid html, which is the
