Looks like you have not defined a site, or have defined it
improperly. Use
DW Help (F1) and search for "site definition"

  • Attach Style Sheet not doing anything in CC

    I switched from DW CS6 to CC and found what appears to be a bug:
    Start a new HTML document or open an existing one. Click Class and select Attach Style Sheet.. from the Properties tab and nothing happens.
    Has anyone else encountered this?

    Hi filip0,
    Thanks for reporting this issue to us. We are aware of this issue and you can expect this to be fixed in the next DW update.
    This happens only when the CSS Designer panel is closed and you happened to relaunch DW and try attaching a stylesheet.
    I would suggest you to have CSS Designer panel open and try out this workflow .You can find it at Window>CSS Designer

  • Attached style sheet only shows background

    Problem attaching style sheet to a page. It only shows the background color, nothing else. The .css code is there, but the background is all that shows up in design view.

    You need to add some HTML content to your page.  CSS doesn't DO anything on it's own.  It needs HTML tags to grab onto.  And you have none to speak of.
    Paste this into your HTML document after the </head> tag.
    <body>
    <div id="container">
    <div id="header">
    <h1>Header H1</h1>
    <!--end header --> </div>

  • Using more than one attached style sheet

    I have one document with two attached style sheets. One style
    sheet defines how to display links for a navigation panel and the
    other style sheet defines how to display links within the body of
    the document. How can I indicate which style to use with a
    particular link? It seems one style sheet is predominant....
    Thanks for your help

    Why have two stylesheets? Merge the rules together into a
    single sheet. And
    read these -
    Pseudo-classes and container styles are what you need - here
    are some
    tutorials.

  • How do I get the nested style sheets to work in the paragraph style sheets?

    How do I get the nested style sheets to work in the paragraph style sheets?

    Hi Denise, we need more information on what you are trying to do before we can help on your specific issue.
    You can look at this document, which covers nested styles: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/indesign/cs/using/WSE33E49F9-94CE-4043-AA51-4761408A63F4a.html

  • CS3 to CS4 - Style Sheets not working

    I created some writer templates in Microsoft Word by exporting styled text from a CS3 document to an rtf. I modified the style sheets in Word to be a generic font (Times) and made all the text black; however, the text still had my Indesign style sheets attached. I've been using these Word documents for about a year with freelance writers and they've been working great. I don't have to apply all those styles; when I place the text from Word to Indesign, the Indesign attributes take over.
    However, when I recently saved my Indesign files in CS4 and placed text from the Word documents, all the Indesign style attributes do not take over. In other words, the font stays in Times rather than change to the font assigned in my Indesign style sheet. Some attributes do work, the color changes from black to white, etc., but the font is not changing.
    Has anyone else had this problem?

    a guess- renaming the files so they don't start with a . and
    DO have .css
    file extensions will probably fix this.

  • InDesign CS5.5 Style sheets not working properly

    Hello,
    I'm checking out a trial version of InDesign CS5.5 and am creating some paragraph style sheets that don't seem to be working. When assigning the latest style I've created to a paragraph, it changes the color I've spec'd, but not the typeface. I open up the style to make sure I've selected the typeface, and it's in order. It just won't style the paragraph with it. What might be going on?
    Thank you in advance for any advice. It's making me crazy.

    @Helenac:
    to force a paragraph style with all defined attributes to a paragraph regardless of local formatting and applied character styles, hold the "alt" + "shift" keys when applying the paragraph style.
    If you want to preserve character styles and overwrite local formatting, then hold the "alt" key when applying the paragraph style.

  • Style sheet not working in Internet Explorer

    Hello Experts
    Please have a look at this. It is working fine in Firefox.http://www.themildmayarms.com
    Here is my Style Sheet linkhttp://www.themildmayarms.com/index.css
    The style sheet is definitely uploaded. The other pages have a different style sheet and are working fine in both browsers.
    I have validated the site and am getting this:
    Line 13,         Column 1:     unclosed start-tag requires SHORTTAG YES<link href="index.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
    ✉
    The construct <foo<bar> is valid in HTML (it is an example of the rather obscure “Shorttags” feature)       but its use is not recommended.       In most cases, this is a typo that you will want to fix. If you really want to use shorttags,        be aware that they are not well implemented by browsers.
    Stuck! Please help.
    Thank you in advance.

  • Link to site-root relative style sheet not working CS4

    I am trying to define links to site-root relative external style sheets - as I believe that IE conditional comments prevent Templates from correctly updating the links. The styles are not being applied when I use any href path begining with "/".  So, the following do not work:
    <link href="/styles/myStyleSheet.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
    <link href="/myStyleSheet.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
    Dreamweaver can open the css file from a right-mouse click and even give me warnings about css properties as a tool-tip as I hover over the file. The styles are applied fine with document relative paths:
    <link href="../myStyleSheet.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
    Any ideas?

  • Attaching style sheets to whole website?

    My question about attaching CSS style sheets remains unanswered as far as globally having them appear in the panel for the whole site. David Powers did answer me about how to add them to new sheets, but I have a site I imported from GoLive and what it looks like if I'm correct is that I have to attach it to each page individually to have it appear in the panel each time. Of course once I've done that to each page they will 'stick', but what I would like is if I create a style sheet and save it to the root, that it appear for any page that exists in the root level. Am I wrong? Or is there a way to make it appear for all pages without individually attaching?
    Thanks

    Style sheets must be attached to each page. One simple way of adding the style sheet to existing pages is to to a Find and Replace operation.
    Find:
    </head>
    Replace with:
    <link href="styles/mystylesheet.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
    </head>
    This uses a document-relative path to the stylesheet, so you would need to use a site-root relative link or do it separately for each level of the site hierarchy.

  • Safari 3.0.2 - User Style Sheet not working at all

    Well, at least 3.0.2 doesn't crash when using a custom style sheet, nor does it display a Javascript error.
    But, that's probably because it doesn't work at all! I tried loading a custom sheet that would block ads, but it didn't work. So I set a test one that should block all images. Doesn't work either.
    My test stylesheet consists of:
    test.css:
    img { display: none ! important; }
    and the settings in the preference file are:
    (C:\Documents and Settings\me\Application Data\Apple Computer\Safari\WebKitPreferences.plist)
    <key>WebKitUserStyleSheetEnabledPreferenceKey</key>
    <true/>
    <key>WebKitUserStyleSheetLocationPreferenceKey</key>
    <string>C:\Documents and Settings\me\My Documents\test.css</string>

    Unfortunately, the custom style sheet "feature" is still horribly broken, even in the latest 3.0.3. Setting a file in the preferences still doesn't set the correct URI in the preferences (either that, or Safari still doesn't know how to use a Windows file path to locate the style sheet).
    I'm also encountering problems where Safari will crash when using an ad blocking custom stylesheet.
    Also, when having the custom stylesheet set, trying to use the "Inspect Element" feature will crash Safari.

  • Losing attached style sheets when updating template

    I am creating a new site using Dreamweaver CS3, temporarily uploaded at:
    http://www.sharpeacademy.co.uk/nick-jackson.co.uk/sharpeacademy/theatrearts/
    All my pages are created from a master template which contains formatting for the header, sidebar and footer.
    When subsequent pages were created, I attached new style sheets as and when I added new sections to the main content area.
    The problem I am having now is, when I update the template all these style sheets are being detached from the relevent pages and I have to reattach each time. I tried attaching them to the template but it didn't help.

    That's what I thought (I say, trying to sound like I know what I'm doing!)
    This is the relevant code for my page - in this instance it's a tabbed panel which is losing the formatting:
    <!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">
    <!-- InstanceBegin template="/Templates/theatrearts_template.dwt" codeOutsideHTMLIsLocked="false" -->
    <!-- InstanceBeginEditable name="head" -->
    <script src="../javascript/locationTabbedPanel.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <link href="../css/locationTabbedPanel.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
    <!-- InstanceEndEditable -->
    <head>
    <link href="../css/sidebarNav_theatrearts.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
    <script src="../javascript/sidebarEmail.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <script src="../javascript/sidebarEmail_theatrearts.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <link href="../css/sharpeacademy_textStyle.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
    <link href="../css/sidebarEmail_theatrearts.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
    <script src="../javascript/jquery-1.2.1.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <script src="../javascript/menu-collapsed.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
    <!--[if lt IE 8]>
    <style type="text/css">
    li a {display:inline-block;}
    li a {display:block;}
    </style>
    <![endif]-->
    The style sheet looks like it's there in the code but it doesn't show in my css palette.
    If I then re-attach it appears twice in the code:
    <!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">

    <!-- InstanceBegin template="/Templates/theatrearts_template.dwt" codeOutsideHTMLIsLocked="false" -->
    <!-- InstanceBeginEditable name="head" -->
    <script src="../javascript/locationTabbedPanel.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

    <link href="../css/sidebarEmail_theatrearts.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
    <script src="../javascript/jquery-1.2.1.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <script src="../javascript/menu-collapsed.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
    <!--[if lt IE 8]>
    <style type="text/css">
    li a {display:inline-block;}
    li a {display:block;}
    </style>
    <![endif]-->
    If I then make any changes to the template, I'm back where I started. I've just about got my head around Dreamweaver but there's a long way to go to understand the coding.

  • CSS Style sheet not working in DW4

    I am new to Dreamweaver CS4 and have been following the tutorials for Beginners on Adobe TV.
    I have used a Standard Layout, 2 columns, Header, Footer, Sidebar.
    I have created and saved the CSS Style Sheet as suggested in a folder with the CSS panel.
    I have made changes to the web page with CSS and can see the changes in Design View on my screen.
    However, when I view my trial site in a browser, none of the Style changes are visible. Looking at the XHTML code,
    the path to the CSS Style Sheet appears to be correct. What am I doing wrong?

  • Removing an attached style sheet

    I accidentally attached the wrong CSS to one of my Index files.
    I looked around and couldn't find a command to unlink or unattach the CSS so I just deleted the code from the Index file.
    It was a single line of code, and it worked, but is that the correct way to do it?
    The code I removed is this:
    <link href="LR Galleries/Bruce'sGalleryCSS.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
    Did I leave any 'orphaned' code in my Index that's going to come back to  haunt me?
    Thanks,
    Bruce

    What you did is fine.    Test in all browswers.  If you have any problems, make sure your HTML document doesn't contain any embedded or inline styles.
