13.1 Update: Live View is Borked

My live view is borked as of 13.1 update. The design I was working with renders properly on my phone, properly in Chrome, but renders with a horizontal scroll bar in Dreamweaver CC live view. It's really quite annoying. Is there a fix coming?
-J

Unfortunately, I can't. I'm working on a localhost staging server. The deal is: the design I'm working on is a responsive design. I've tested the scrolling issues in all of the major browsers and none of them seem to be having a problem with this design. Just CC.
It seems to think my site is just 10-20px wider than it really is. I'm playing with some more CSS rules to see if I can find the one causing issues.

Live View Updates Extremely Slow in DW 5.5

I'm having a problem with the Live view update. I'm using the localhost as my testing server. So, network speed shouldn't be an issue. I'm on a Windows 64 bit, 2.2 gHz, Quad Core, 8 GB ram..so it should run relatively well. But, I sometimes have to wait 2 minutes for the screen to update when I change something, turn off LiveView, then turn it back on. You can imagine how this slows down development. Every change takes 2 minutes to see? Yikes! It makes the product almost unusable.
Is there any fix for this?

Last night, I got the solution to this from Adobe tech support -- at least for me. The technician suggested that I update my video card driver.
And also make sure that I had the latest version of Flash player. Apparently, CS5.5 has adopted a new way of previewing files that relys heavily on the video cache and the player, and old drivers are usually the problem.
I did this, and things work much better. Still a bit doggy at times, but I can work with it.
He also suggested that I upgrade to Windows 7. (I'm still using Vista) ANd that I would see a "100% improvement". I like the sound of that. Haven't tried it yet....If anybody does, let me know how it goes.

13.1 update - lost live view + cant view page in chrome

just installed the new update, site displayed fine before update, now it appears it has lost all css links, it doesnt display correctly in live view, or google chrome, but works gine in other browsers

Can you please preview the page in Google Chrome, launch the Developer tools in Chrome (Ctrl+Shift+I on Windows or Cmd+Option+I on Mac). Click on the Console tab and tell us what error you are getting?

Live view - update automatically

is there an option to update the page automatically when a file has changed that it is tied to somehow when using live view?

Menu bar not showing in IE, but in DW CS5 'live view' it's there.

I am having problems with my webpage, for some reason when I am in DW live view everything works,but when I go to preview in browser the menu bar doesn't show up. I have made sure that my local and testing server files are all synced. Here is a link to my html page.
https://acrobat.com/#d=L2NJRmXay62Osbh8HtrMtQ
my menu bar is an 'includes' file so that I only have to update the css one time and it will update every page on my website.
ANY help is appriciated!!

You would need to post your code into a reply using the web forum's double arrows > syntax highlighting > plain.
1) Did you name your parent pages with a supported extension to tell the server to parse server-side includes? Some common ones are .shtm, .shtml, php, or asp.
2) Does your web server support the use of server-side includes?
3) To preview includes locally, you need a local testing server installed on your computer. Do you have one?
4) Does your include file contain ONLY the menu HTML code and nothing else?

ORA-1779 when updating a view

Hi and thanks in advance !
i am facing a critical situation.
i have two schema & both are same!
the problem which i am facing is during updating a view of one i am facing above error while the same DML is issuing againt that view in other schema and that works fine.
what's the reason..
The major difference between two schema's is i hav different live and test database i migrate my access database to Oracle test database # 1.here i created a new user name deals . ok
i hav done same migration in my another database but a little difference here user deals is already available here and tables and views are also available i drop all the object but forget to purge recyclebin. now whenever i try to issue DML at this schema i am facing above error while the same tables same data and same view is available in above databae where my update statement executed properly. one more thing i like to add here i hav some unwanted trigger 'BIN$##$$%##$# bla bla bla' on different table. i haven't created that .
here is the view for your kind perusal
CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW QRYREUTER AS
SELECT FXdeals.deal_no,
cparty.name,
cparty.city,
FXdeals.brokbill,
FXdeals.deal_date,
FXdeals.mode_id

JOIN cparty
ON FXdeals.cpcode = cparty.cpcode
WHERE ( ( (FXdeals.mode_id) = 3 ) )

but i have sample scenario in other schema which replica of this schema so why i haven't got this error there
one more interesting thing when i query select * from user_updateable_columns where table name ='ABC' in Schema # 1 it return i can modify some columns.
but when issue the data dictionary view in schema # 2, where i was facing ORA-1779 , select * from user_updateable_columns where table name ='ABC' in Schema # 2 it return i can not modify any columns.
Tables name are same in both schema.
Data same in both schema.
Constraint Same in both schema.
Indexes same in both schema.
why facing error in one schema not in other.
one more interesting thing, i had faced questionable object error when importing DMP into schema # 2.

Why does Live View not work with the following: @media only screen and (max-width: 480px)?

When I use the above media query in my stylesheet Live View ceases to update the viewport. I have to update it manually each time I add or change a style. This is not the case when I use styles under a common tablet sized query @media only screen and (max-width: 768px), or when there is no query at all. Is this a bug or is there something I am missing here?

Code errors might account for the discrepancy. Validate your code and fix any reported errors.

Setting up Dreamweaver CS4 with PHP testing server... Live View doesnt work

Hello,
Im trying to setup Dreamweaver CS4 with a php website im
making. Ive setup the site information, and provided a testing site
(XAMPP), and i can see the fully rendered .php pages in the Live
View tab. However, say i change some of the text in the .php file
(say from <p>Hello</p> to <p>Hi</p>) and
then click in the Live View tab - the page does not update. It
seems to do something, bit just returns the same.
How do i set it up so, like with plain .html pages, you can
make a change to the source code and instantly see the change in
Live View?
(At the moment i have to make the change to the source code,
save it, click Live View to cancel it, and then click Live View
again).
Background:
Ive setup XAMPP (G:\XAMPP\)
Ive setup vhosts in apache.
Ive stored my websites in G:\Websites
Ive set the testing server to G:\Websites\site, where "site"
is setup as a vhost and correctly displays when entered into a
browser.
Ive set the url prefix to
http://site/
Ive set local root to G:\Websites\site
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers.

Did you try using F5 to refresh the page? If that doesn't
work for you,
then you'll have to drop and restart Live view. No need to
save and reload
the page.

SWF Banner works in Live View not in Any Browser? Losing my mind...

Hello,
I'm not a pro but have some web building experience. I'm currently building a website for myself in Dreamweaver CS5. I made a simple flash banner where pictures fade in and out. I placed it into my template and it works fine in Live View but not in Chrome, Firefox or IE.
It has gotten to the point where I am losing my mind.
I create a new HTML doc. Drag and drop ANY swf file. Saved Swf files as flash 8 and flash 9 even. Updated my flash last night for my browsers. Again... See it fine in Live View and not in the browsers i've mentioned.
The browsers (except chrome which displays nothing) show this message.
Content on this page requires a newer version of Adobe Flash Player.
Even after flash updates and using a swf file saved as an older veriosn of flash (tried 9,8 and 5 for a laugh).
Here is the html code (all generated by Dreamweaver). I am totally baffled and have spent HOURS scrying the internet to no avail. I even tried this in a trial version of Dreamweaver CS6 but had the same reslut. Please help me. What's going on?

Live View and Inspect BROKEN in DW CS5 & Drupal

I successfully navigated through the confusing instructions for setting up a local Drupal website in Dreamweaver's site manager and was very excited the first time I did a "discover" and DW found all the Drupal files on my local testing server. Yay!
I was even more excited when I tried live view and was able to click on elements in my Drupal page and see the CSS properties displayed. (similar to how Firebug in Firefox works)
Unfortunately, my excitement didn't last. The property inspector in DW CS5 is BROKEN. When you click on a specific element on the page, the "live code" displayed for that selection is wrong. DW tends to select far more code than the actual element chosen. As a result, the CSS properties displayed in the CSS panels are wrong for that particular element. Most of the time, they are the properties for the element (<div>) that WRAPS the selected element.
This makes the wonderful, Live View Inspect TOTALLY USELESS, for Drupal development. Didn't Adobe actually TEST this app with Drupal before distributing it? I just spent $600 on an upgrade to CS5 for NOTHING!

Not sure how I could translate the problem into a plain html file, since all the elements of Drupal are served up from a database and php server. Even if I could, I suspect it wouldn't reproduce the problem, since I have no issue with the Inspect button on static html files. One thing to note is that the box model on the selected element seems to accurately reflect the proper CSS settings, even though live code and CSS panels do not. So the out-of-sync issue seems to be between the box model and the live code and CSS panels.
It would be worth your while to set up a live Drupal site. Admittedly, there are a ton of different things going on within a Drupal page, including javascript, which I suppose could throw things out of sync. (although turning off javascript didn't fix the problem) Since Drupal is all open source, it would be easy for me to send a zipped codefile and mysql dump to your developers. Or you could recreate a site from Drupal.org. I have tested this against several iterations of Drupal with several different themes, some simple and some complex, and the problem is pretty consistent, although it behaves slightly differently depending on the Drupal theme being used.
On some themes, Inspect picks LESS than the proper amount of code. On some themes, it picks MORE. My theory is that it's some kind of mathematical or array issue with DW, because Firebug can reliably render all my Drupal sites with no issues at all.
Using the Tag Selector is difficult in most cases, because the Inspect selector tends to select an "outer" div instead of the one that is correct, so the correct selection is not shown on the tag selector list. (since the tag selector only shows outer divs to the currently selected one.) The convoluted workaround is to select an element INSIDE of the targeted element, and then backtrack up the Tag Selector tree. Selecting the proper code with the Tag Selector DOES appear to render the proper CSS and Live Code, but you obviously lose one of the biggest advantages of live view, which is to quickly find the proper element and see the visual box model rendered live.
This one issue will severely limit the attractiveness of DW to Drupal developers. But if you can get it working, I will be singing Dreamweaver's praises all over Drupal.org!
UPDATE: One other clue I just discovered while using several other Drupal themes: When selecting an element, live code appears to miss the first div and instead pick the following div. Example: (note, I'm using parentheses instead of brackets since this forum strips brackets)
(div id=first_div)some kind of text
(/div)
(div class=second_div)more text(/div)
The live code selection is in bold italic. Live code starts selecting AFTER the first div marker and grabs the start of the next div.
Sure seems like a mis-applied array element to me.

Problem with Live View being slow

Since the latest update it now takes up to 20 seconds for the live view to appear in Dreamweaver. Is this usual - anyone else having this problem, How can I solve it? it's like working in mud!

It may just be a temporary issue on their server. That's one of the main problems with referencing files you don't own, you are at the mercy of the owner's server status.
If you can, I would suggest getting a copy of the font files you are using and keeping them on your own server to reference instead, it may cost you extra, but it's worth it.
To be honest, I've never used Typekit and don't even know if that's possible, but I've had similar issues with Google Fonts in the past and will download fonts to be stored on my own systems now whenever it's critical that they are available whenever the website is (doesn't happen often, but).
You just need both a .ttf and .otf version of the font to ensure it works when using the @font-face css rule. Converting a .ttf to .otf is pretty simple and can be done in a lot of places online. You would need to check with Typekit's user agreements to see if that's possible, but Google's are all open source and can be modified however you see fit.

Image Slider not appearing/visual in live view/Browser

I updated a link to my image browser and once I hit refresh, everything seemed fine. I checked my rework on live view, and the whole slider (including images and buttons) were no longer visual. (You could not see them.)

Joe

Jon,
I have not uploaded the page yet, because this issue came up and I did not want a non-functional part of the site available online yet. However, I have done the following:
-Checked the link and that it is correct with no typo's, etc.
-Checked the Javascript (there are no issues there, either.)
I am going to download the original page from the server and compare once again to see if there are differences.
I will post updates.

Well Documented Live View Exposure Simulation Issue

I'm including a number of links which document this issue across multiple canon cameras. After doing a search on the canon forum, I can't find this particular issue, so I thought I'd post and see if we can get an official solution. (New to the Canon forums, so if I'm not looking in the right place, please let me know.)
In my opinion, the vimeo link illustrates this best. (and while the 2nd link says "solved" ... perhaps the solution could be described as "janky" at best.)
Basically, from what I can gather: The Live View (*in photo mode) uses the lens's aperture data to update the exposure simulation parameters. This effects the way the LCD and the Histogram interpret exposure settings. If you are using a lens without these digital chips, the Exp. Sim. parameters don't get updated and the liveview/histogram will sometimes appear under exposed when compared to the actual photograph (anywhere from -1 to -4 stops from what I've seen).
What's strange is that this problem disapears in video mode. Perhaps I don't understand the real issue, but it sounds like a firmware update is needed. Is there an update available(or will there be) that fixes this problem?

http://www.dvxuser.com/V6/archive/index.php/t-247001.html

If I understand you correctly... you're referring to a 3rd party lens designed to fit on a Canon EOS body as an "EF" lens -- not actually suggesting that Canon themselves make a lens that has the problem.
Niether Canon nor Nikon (nor anybody else that I am aware of) release the specs to 3rd party lens makers. Those 3rd parties reverse-engineer the cameras in an attempt to build compatible lenses. Again, I'd stress that to my knowledge, ALL camera makers are the same in this respect. It is not a differentiator.
Rokinon (and the same lenses are sold under a variety of names) is known for their very cheap lenses. It's a bit of a case of "you get what you paid for."
I don't work for Canon so I'm not trying to argue that you should only consider Canon products. (I do like their products and am happy with all of my Canon gear.) But I would probably not reduce my camera buying decisions be decided by just this one feature alone. There are are so many aspects to consider when buying a camera. Is this really that important to you?
The guy in this video is using a Canon 5D III. That's a $3500 camera body. Realistically, no photographer who can afford a $3500 camera body is going to shoot with a Rokinon 14mm lens -- and then have the audacity to expect that it's Canon's fault when the cheap lens isn't fully compatible with the high end $3500 body. :-/
There are a number of 3rd party lens makers... Sigma, Tokina, Tamron... and then there are some very high end lens makers... Schneider, Ziess, etc. But when these lens makers build lenses for the cameras, they actually do tend to work correctly (not always... and sometimes a lens that worked with one body might not continue to work years later when Canon comes out with newer bodies... but Canon's own lenses DO work EVEN when you upgrade camera bodies. Canon makes certain of that.)
Rokinon, however (and the same lenses are sold under multiple names... Samyang, Bower, Pro-Optic, etc.) are known for their especially cheap, basic, low-end lenses. If you are going to buy an exceptionally cheap, basic, low-end lens... you should probably not be at all surprised to learn that there are limitations. Notice, for example, that the lens has an aperture ring on the lens... modern lenses don't do that anymore.

Css shows in live view, not in design view

Hi all-
I'm new to dreamweaver and was trying to move a site I have already coded into dreamweaver, hopefully to be able to find errors but mostly to be able to update more quickly in the future.
I've noticed one pecularity (at least to me!) - I have some basic "rounded corners" with css that show up properly in the "Live View" or in a browser, but in design view they are just standard boxes with no css attributes added.
Is this normal, or is it something in my code?

It's most likely completely normal. I know in my DWCS4, it doesn't recognize any CSS3 items in Design View.
As long as your pages are validating and previewing in the browsers correctly, you're good to go.
You can run the validators here to check for errors...

CS4 -new interface oddities... Live view and others MAC

Hi folks, I'm running into a few small problems and not sure
where the
buttons are now to fix it.
One, the live view apparently is using Print CSS instead of
my screen css
and I can't figure out how to fix it. The screen css is
checked in the
rendering box, but I'm still getting a print layout... (is
there a way to
get those icons back like they were in CS3 where you select
the buttons for
rendering styles? )
Two, although the related CSS files will update and show the
asterisk when
modifying them in the main page's CSS panel, you cannot
select the related
file name in the bar across the top and press upload.
Apparently you have to
open it as a separate file to upload it??
Three, sometimes the pages' top bar opens beneath the search
bar, or
whatever you call that full width bar across the top of the
window, and
because you cannot access the top of the open page, you
cannot grab and move
it. It is mostly annoying. Is there another way to grab and
move. This
problem isn't limited to DW, it exists also in Photoshop...

The Style Rendering toolbar is off by default. You can turn
it on here:
View > Toolbars
The Style Rendering settings do not affect Live View. It's
always
"screen". Live View uses the WebKit rendering engine that's
used in
Safari: does your page look different from Safari? Note that
there's a
Windows beta version of Safari available from apple.com if
you don't
have a Mac.

Correct. Another way to do it is, when focus is in the
Related File you
want to upload, use Site > Locate in Site, and then upload
from the
Files Panel.

Yeah, that's annoying. You can dock the Application Bar to
the top of
the screen to prevent that.
