WYSIWYG Gone Wonky. Why ?

If I browse the web page, it is starting to look exactly how I want it which is fine. 
The problem in Design View everything is seriously misplaced and it is not possible to tell what the page will look like. I intend to use the page for a template and if I cannot see what the page will look like, it will be a big problem.   Can anyone help pinpoint how I can get the WYSIWYG to work better?
If I cut out the sidebarcontainer of the HTML, the WYSIWYG is restored to a normal state. So there must be something about the sidebar container causing the problem.

I often encounter this.  As Jon says, Design view is junk.  I rarely use it myself.  I much prefer Split View with Live View and I mainly edit in the code view panel.
A couple of things you can do. 
Work with CSS turned off. View > Style Rendering > untick Display Styles.  This has no effect on Live View or Preview in browsers.  It renders un-styled content so you can work with it.  
Use Design-Time Style Sheets. 
Dreamweaver Help | Use Design-Time style sheets
A good option when working with Templates.  I have made special DT Style sheets for several clients to mitigate Design View's many inherent shortcomings.
Don't rely on Design View for accurate rendering.  You'll never get it to work 100%.

  • Java gone wonky!!

    Hi,
    I've tried out one of the lastest hint from MacWorld which you can globally expand or shrink the application GUI, using the following command.
    defaults write NSGlobalDomain AppleDisplayScaleFactor .75
    But after I've played with it and set it back to 1, my NetBeans (java) IDE has gone wonky.The text are overlayed, the tree arrow does not display, scrollbar missing, weird font etc... Apparently someone else is experiencing similar problem with another java application.
    I just tried emptying /library/cache and ~/library cache and fix permission using disk utilities and restarting many times. But my java IDE is still wonky.... =(
    Help me restore my Java environment please.....

    the file in question is in fact in the ~/Library/Preferences folder... however it is hidden...
    the name of the file is .GlobalPreferences.plist
    you can remove it by running this command from your terminal
    'rm .GlobalPreferences.plist'

  • Touchscreen gone wonky

    All of the sudden my iPhone touchscreen has gone wonky. Sometimes it doesn't respind at all, sometimes it types a whole series of letters.
    This is true for emails, contacts, Facebook - across applications. Making me crazy. I had a protectivce screen covering but took it off thinking that might be the problem. NOT! Help me.

    Basics right out of the user guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new.  If you tried ALL these steps, then there is no "fix", as it's likely a hardware issue.  If your phone is under warranty it will be replaced free of charge unless there's obvious damage to the phone.

  • With mountain lion, my rss feed in mail is gone. Why?

    With mountain lion, my rss feed in mail is gone. Why?

    Mountain Lion
    RSS feed is not an available option in Safari and Mail.
    Apple removed it.

  • Book Mode in Apple's Preview 4.0 application gone? Why?

    Hi,
    it seems that in the Leopard version of Preview (4.0) there is no Book Mode on/off switch? It was very handy when reading PDF files.
    Does anybody know where it is gone, why it is gone or if there is a way to get it back?
    Regards,
    Rainer Joswig

    According to the PDF presets in Photoshop, the 'Press Quality' preset is supposed to imbed the fonts. But it's sounding like Preview is the problem. Or more likely the underlying code that it uses, since the problem appears in Mail as well. Just for kicks I'm going to change the document to RGB and see what happens.
    Thanks All.

  • Safari gone wonky

    I have a chat room that I used to be able to click on to links by others. I never could copy and paste myself. Now I can't even click links.
    So, I tried to reload Safari. I get a message stating:
    You cannot install Safari on this volume. This update requires Mac OS X 10.5.2 or newer.
    Only thing is, I have 10.5.5 so I shouldn't be getting this message.
    So I reloaded 10.5.5 and that didn't work either.
    I am out of ideas. Any suggestions?

    Right. I didn't delete anything. I just moved Safari to the trash as sort of a holding position. But I didn't empty it. After trying to reload Safari, which didn't work, and the system, which did load but didn't change anything, I pulled Safari out of the trash and put it back in the application folder and so on...
    Then I loaded Firefox. It works. It's a little too PC for my taste, but it works.
    Thanks for the advice. I will try loading Safari from the disc.
    By the way. I regularly fix the permissions. That was the first thing I tried. I am still baffled about why Safari went wonky on me. It worked for a while after I loaded the 10.5.5 update so I doubt if the problem is there.
    Just so you know, I also use Camino. But in a Parachat chat room it's worse than Safari. Apple really should do something about running the latest Java updates that are available to PC users. It's almost the only complaint I have about the OS on this computer.

  • I used to have the google toolbar with Translate and Currency conv. Now it is gone. Why?

    In the last version of this browser, I had a toolbar from Google that had Translate and Currency Converter. Now it's gone. Also when I opened a new tab, it would show lots of mini pages that I regularly visit, now that's gone. Where is this stuff and why can't the program just stay the same and work?

    The Google Toolbar '''7.1.20110512W''' version works in Firefox 5.0 by using the Compatibility Reporter extension, I tried it myself due to the large number of postings about GTB problems. <br />

  • Where has Mozilla's open browser gone? Why is there going to be DRM in my Firefox?!

    What happened?! Why is this happening!?
    Can This Web Be Saved? Mozilla Accepts DRM, and We All Lose
    It's official: the last holdout for the open web has fallen. Flanked on all sides by Google, Microsoft, Opera and (it appears) Safari's support and promotion of the EME DRM-in-HTML standard, Mozilla is giving in to pressure from Hollywood, Netflix et al, and will be implementing its own third-party version of DRM. It will be rolled out in Desktop Firefox later this year. Mozilla's CTO, Andreas Gal, says that Mozilla "has little choice." Mozilla's Chair, Mitchell Baker adds, "Mozilla cannot change the industry on DRM at this point."
    At EFF, we disagree. We've had over a decade of watching this ratchet at work, and we know where it can lead. Technologists implement DRM with great reticence, because they can see it's not a meaningful solution to anything but rather a font of endless problems. It doesn't prevent infringement, which continues regardless. Instead, it reduces the security of our devices, reduces user trust, makes finding and reporting of bugs legally risky, eliminates fair use rights, undermines competition, promotes secrecy, and circumvents open standards.
    It's clear from the tone of Gal and Baker's comments, and our own discussions with Mozilla, that you'll find no technologist there who is happy with this step. The fact that Mozilla, in opposition to its mission, had to prepare and design this feature in secret without being able to consult the developers and users who make up its community is an indication of how much of a contradiction DRM is in a pro-user open-source browser.
    Unchecked, that contradiction is only going to grow. Mozilla's DRM code, imported from Adobe as a closed-source binary, will sit in a cordoned sandbox, simultaneously Mozilla's responsibility but beyond its control. Mozilla will be responsible for updates to the DRM blackbox, which means users will have to navigate browser updates that will either fix security bugs or strip features from their video watching. Mozillians have already been warned of the danger of talking too much about how DRM works (and doesn't work), lest they trigger the provisions in the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) that forbid "trafficking" in circumvention knowledge.
    Baker may think that Mozilla cannot change the industry on its own (despite it having done so many years ago). Sadly, it changes the industry by accepting DRM. It is these repeated compromises to the needs of DRM advocates by tech company after tech company that are changing the nature of personal computing, transforming it into a sector that is dominated by established interests and produces locked-down devices, monitored and managed by everyone but their users.
    Past experience has shown that standing up to DRM and calling it out does have an effect. As we have said to the W3C, and Cory Doctorow spells out to Mozilla in this Guardian article, we can do much more to fight the negative consequences of DRM than simply attempt to mitigate the damage of its adoption.
    We need to work to end the reinforcement of DRM and criminalization of fair use in the DMCA and similar legislation being spread throughout the world. We need to speak out about the failings of DRM, even if we fear that DRM proponents will just make it worse (in the name of "improvement") or take civil or criminal actions under the DMCA. We need to challenge the baseless assertion that users don't mind DRM as long as they can watch House of Cards and demand actual evidence to justify the damage it causes. And, given the amount of compromise we have already suffered, we need to spell out the principles that we won't compromise on.
    Mozilla and the W3C are both organizations with missions intended to defend and promote the open web. Both have now committed to a system of content control that is seen as a violation of those principles by many Internet users. We, and they, can change that story. We need to redirect the ingenuity being wasted on attempts to limit the damage of introducing DRM into the heart of the Web toward a positive campaign against further incursions.

    Sorry, as important as this issue is to all of us who use Firefox, this is a Firefox support forum - not an appropriate place to start a discussion like this.
    I'm locking this thread for two other reasons though. <br />

  • In Firefox 4 the dropdown menu next to the forward button in the Navigation Toolbar that allowed the user to select another page in the history to go back to is gone. Why?

    In Firefox 3, the user could access a dropdown menu by hovering over a small black arrow next to the forward arrow in the Navigation Toolbar. This allowed the user to go to earlier pages in the browser history, rather than using the back button to go to the immediate previous page.
    After updating to Firefox 4, this menu disappeared. Was it moved? Was it removed?
    I found this feature to be very useful. Why was it changed?
    Nick

    There are two ways to get this: (1) Hold the back button until the menu appears (2) Right click the back button. See the screenshot below for reference.

  • Right click on a tab used to have a bookmark this tab option, now gone! why? and how do I get it back?

    In FF 3x right-click on a tab to get menu with "bookmark this tab option". Gone in 4.0! Can I have it back please?
    Also right click a link would have "open in new tab" 2nd in list, now changed to 1st.I have accidentally opened loads of windows.It is infuriating. Please make this menu user-customisable. Please

    Thanks Tony! I will give it a day or two, having open in new tab at top IS more logical, just been using FF so long is natural to hit the second item. I might put "open in new window" 3rd or 4th so I don't do it by accident using the AO. Still annoying about the bookmark thing, but maybe I'll get used to it!

  • I created Playlists on iPod App for my iPad 2. After a recent sync my Playlists I created and saved were gone! Why? What do I need to do to Save those Playlist so theynare not lost nduring sync. THANK YOU

    I created Playlist on my iPad (iPod App).....but they disappeared after sync process with my laptop. Why?
    What should I have done so they don' t go way?
    Doesn't make sense to redo them every time.

    Is there a "New" button at the top right of the Playlists section of Music?
    There is no Edit button to delete music, swipe sideways on the song to reveal the delete button. Tap and hold on the artwork in Artists and albums to reveal the (X) button to delete. Or connect the iPad back up to iTunes on the computer and check your sync settings for music to ensure you are syncing the right content.

  • Just updated to v3.6.13 and my ability to save bookmarks is gone. Why?

    Firefox automatically updated to version 3.6.13 and my ability to save bookmarks is gone. I go to "Bookmark this page" and nothing happens. It happens on both computers I have: Windows 7 and Windows XP.

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • Colors in menu have gone away - why?

    Everything is now gray in the menu when I open up my mac home drive in os 10.7.  Why?  Why change a good thing?  Now when I glance over at the menu of 'Favorites', 'Shared' and 'Devices', all the icons a gray and it doesn't help when finding specific drives and folders, especially when adding attachments to email.  They used to be easy to dicern with different colors.
    There is nothing in "view options" to change these to colors, and I have found nothing in System Preferences to change them.
    Does anyone know a way to return these menu items to the good ol' days and make them colored?

    You can install a plugin to get the old colors back:
