Can't drag components to Design View? (FB)

A co-worker of mine is unable to drag any component on to the
design view. I looked at it and I can't seem to figure it out
either. His project works fine under my version of Flex Builder
(we're both using Flex Builder 3.0.2, OSX 10.5), I am able to drag
and drop new components to any state. The only way he is able to
add components is by going to the MXML and typing things manually.
He is also having odd things happen in design view with alignment
and constraints.
Edit: Just to clarify when he tries to drag and drop instead
of getting the "Green Plus Orb" he gets a White "Cancel" (always
reminds me of a non-smoking sign) circle.
I have managed to find a few people with the same problems on
JIRA but every one of the bugs gives me the "This bug was imported
from another system and requires review from a project committer
before some of the details can be marked public." message.
Any ideas/help would be appreciated - he is reinstalling FB
now, but I dunno if that's going to help.
Thanks!

pkrasko, welcome to the forum,
drag and drop; go to screen settings where you see the two monitors displayed with 1 on the left and 2 on the right. Click on 2 and drag it to the left of 1. You'll then be able to drag to the left, unless of course you've already physically moved the monitor to the right
Hope this helps

Why, since CS6 does DW now use ABSOLUTE image paths when dragging images into Design View from a folder in Finder?!

While I am grateful the previous issue I had with not being able to drag files into design view at all (in CC and CC2014) was resolved.
Guys (Adobe), seriously, if you're going to change the functioning of something that used to work just fine, at least supply a way for a user to revert to the old way... I absolutely loathe that I need a legacy version of DW to continue with my current workflow. Please put it back to the way it was, or at least allow a user to chose between the two behaviours.
If there is a way to do this, without using the Site Manager (which still doesn't work from Finder even with relative to document selected), I would appreciate any guidance.
As for using the Site Manager (before some smart guy suggests that I just use that) I do not wish to navigate to and create up to 20 "sites" a week and wait for DW to cache them all, when I am already in the folder with the image assets in Finder.
Also before someone pipes up and says: "You shouldn't be diving sites in design view anyway", I don't... I develop many, many newsletters every week and the folder structure is such that navigation to the actual image folder using the Site Manager would be painful at best.
I don't really like having to and replace all instances of "file:///Users/me/Work/company/Mailers/Year/wk14/mailer/dev/img/prod5.jpg". It is horrendously wasteful, time-wise.
Thanks in advance for any helpful replies

Sorry Murray, DW used to have an idea, my point is that since CS6 its developed a case of Amnesia.
The "elements" are in the "root" folder as follows:
newslettername.htm
img
imagename.jpg
So the relative path would be <img src"img/imagename.jpg" />
However since the change: <img src"file:///Users/me/work/Company/year/week/campaign/img/imagename.jpg" />
Which is completely useless and needs to be corrected before I upload the html anywhere.
As for using the site directory, I did answer that in my initial post. I use a laptop, I really don't want a site manager taking half my screen just so I can see the folder structure and navigate with that, especially since I am already at the files I need in Finder.
Again, this is something that used to work just fine in previous iterations of DW, so I don't believe Adobe is incapable of fixing it nor am I being unreasonable asking for a choice for those that may find the local absolute paths useful in some way. All I want is to be able to chose not to use absolute paths when dragging from Finder.

How come I can see my div in design view but not in live view

Hi,
I have a div ID called "portfolio" that I can see in design view but not live view or on a browser. It's a little pink square and I want that square round also.
I ran it through validator. It picked up some things in the style.css which I changed and the boilerplate.css that I did not. Because I thought DW auto creates code for boilerplate because I don't enter that code myself.
It's also rejecting a lot of webkit code but this seems like standard webkit code that works elsewhere on the page.
BTW: at what point does this brutal hand coding pay off in money and less heartache when Wordpress looks cleaner and is so much easier to use? I feel like I barely know HTML or CSS in terms of translating vision to reality and with all-browser functionality after months and months of on-line classes. How long are the pros at it till they reach a watershed point?
here's my address: http://www.adjacentdimensionsmedia.com/home.html
Here's my html:
<body>
<div class="gridContainer clearfix">
    <div id="div1" class="fluid"><img src="adtitle2.png" width="700" height="80" alt=""/></div>
<div class="fluid"><div class="box-shad"><a href="index.html"></a></div>
</div>
    <div id="portfolio">Portfolio</div>
</body>
Here's my CSS:
.box-shad {
margin-top: 200px;
margin-left: 100px;
width: 900px;
height: 700px;
display: block;
background-image: url("images/Big-tree-trans1.png");
background-size: 900px 700px;
-webkit-box-shadow: 15px 15px 15px #000000 inset;
box-shadow: 15px 15px 15px #000000 inset;
-webkit-border-radius: 50%;
border-radius: 50%;
position: fixed;
.box-shad a {
    display:block;
    width:900px;
    height:700px;
#portfolio {
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
margin-top: 0px;
margin-right: 200px;
margin-left: 200px;
margin-bottom: 0px;
border-radius: 75%;
-webkit-border-radius: 75% 75%;
background: pink;
top: -300px;
position: relative;

The top:-300 is putting that div above the top of the browser viewport. Fix that and you'll see the div.

Suddenly can't open topics in design view

Hello -
Last Friday, I had 2 RH projects open when the electricity went out in our building. When I opened these projects on Monday, I suddenly couldn't open most of the topics in design view. A few I can. What happens is that I get the hourglass and then RH stops responding. I waited 10 minutes and no progress. I can still right-click a topic and view/preview it, but I cannot open it in the design window.
So maybe something got hosed in the project, right? Well ... I opened a project that was not open at the time of the power surge and it's experiencing the same issue.
So maybe something in RH itself got hosted, right? Well ... I un-installed and re-installed RH and I still have the issue.
Any ideas? I'm completely at a loss.
Thanks!
Barry

Hi there
Admittedly a long shot here. Have you tried reloading the default environment? Additionally, I'd also click Tools > Options and ensure that the WYSIWYG editor is the default. And if it is, try configuring another editor as the default. Then dismiss the dialogs and reset the default back to the WYSIWYG editor.
Cheers... Rick

Why can't I preview in design view

Hi,
I can only see (CODE | SPLIT | LIVE), I do not have the Design View, any idea where this setting is so I can re-enable it
Thanks

If you have CC 2014.1 and are using a Fluid Grid Layout, it is working as expected.
Adobe prematurely removed Design View from FGL pages in that version.
Vote to have it returned here: Provide "Design View" for Fluid Grid Webpages
Or, you can use the workaround available here (post 6 by Nancy O): Editing Text and Adding Links Is Crazy in DW CC-2014.1
Or, if you're not using FGL pages, click the Live button (it's a dropdown menu now) and choose Design.

Can't paste HTML in design view on Mac

Hi,
This works fine on my PC and has for years but on Mac OS 10x I seem to be losing all the formatting when I copy an existing HTML page into DW. I have set the preferences to retain max formatting but no dice. When I try to paste into an editable region of a template, nothing happens at all. I have CS4 on the Mac and MACromedia DW 8 on the PC which works fine. Is this a Mac or CS4/new glitch?
Thanks, Lili

Are you working with overlapping Layers (aka APDivs)?
Do you have overflow: hidden in your CSS code?
Can you post a link to the problem page?

Design View showing collapsed components.

Ever since I add tomahawk Menu component in my project, all other components are not shown properly in the design view of jdeveloper. I added the menu component to one file and all the files in the project are now showing collapsed view (Only parent component is shown that too in a box). I tried restarting jdeveloper but the problem still remains. I cannot add/edit any components in design view now because of the above reason. How do I go about now?

Hi,
it appears that there is a problem with the WYSIWYG editor and 3rd party components not rendering properly. The outline view is a fallback that JDeveloper uses when it can't show the WYSIWYG (its the outline view). Not sure if you have a support contract inwhich case you could file this as a bug? If not, I'll put that down on my list of issues to track and follow up on.
thanks

How does one access MX components -- e.g. DataGrid -- in Design View in Flash Builder Burrito

Hi,
Is there a way to access the mx version of components in Design View (Flash Builder Burrito), for those components that have both a Spark and a Halo/MX version, e.g. DataGrid?
Thanks

... I know I can go to Source View and type in part of it, and switch to design view, however I'm doing a bunch of tutorials where the mx components are used, where one is simply dropping data services onto the components, apparently not supported yet on the newer Spark components?

Design view (CS3) is completely highlighted - can't edit content

On one of the websites I have developed, when I go to Design view and click on the content I want to revise, all content and photos are highlighted, so I can't just edit one word or sentence. I have to go to Code view and search for that content in order to change it, meaning I don't have the ease of adding links in the Design view, etc. One of the web pages with this problem is: http://www.greenkarat.com/TEST_NEW/about/education.asp, which validates. The CSS is http://www.greenkarat.com/TEST_NEW/css/greenkarat.css, which also validates. Below is a screen print of the design view that doesn't allow me to edit. How can I clear this up? Thank you. P.S. If I "temporarily" remove one of the closing div tags - </div>, I can then edit in the Design view, but I need to add the div tag back in before I upload the file to the server. If the div tag is not added back in, the page does not validate

http://www.greenkarat.com/TEST_NEW/about/education.asp is a dead link (404 error).
Can you re-upload so we can see the page?

Inserted the code but can't see the site in design view

Hello, I just downloaded the trial version of DW ver.8 and
opened an existing site I have and can't see anything in the design
view, but everything is there in the code view... and the site
shows just fine in the browser preview! This problem happens with
all the html pages I open up. Someone please tell me what I am
doing wrong. I am using mac osx ver.10.4.5.

I copied and pasted the code into DW and I didn't have a
problem viewing it,
A couple of things:
You need to close a a tag here: the > was missing at the
end:
<img src="./icon/sample04a.jpg" border="0"
onmouseover="this.src='./icon/sample04b.jpg'"
onmouseout="this.src='./icon/sample04c.jpg'" style="cursor:
pointer;">
You also need to change:
<script language="javascript">
to this:
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
You may want to put the page through the validator and fix
the problems

Design view for jsp custom tags.

when we drag-and-drop custom tag control in the source of jsp page, when we switch to the design view of jsp we should be able to view controls as desired.
Observation: 1) Eclipse 3.2 doesn't have design view for jsp pages.
2) which software uses the design view. we need to extend eclipse core framework and we do not find any technical approach document to proceed further on this.
3) RAD 6.0 we can see a JSP in design view.
I'm searching for any technical approach document to create plugin that can intercept the custom tags and provide a design view.
Will any one suggest the plugin for that.

Jeff,
I have checked with engineering and found that JSP Design View support on
Linux is a planned feature for the next release. I don't think we will have
this feature as part of a Service Pack for 8.1

Copy-paste hotkeys in F2B3 Design View

Problem:
At this moment only [Ctrl+Insert] and [Shift+Insert] hotkeys
(shortcuts) can be used for copying and pasting components in
Design View of Flex 2 Beta 3. But in Code View [Ctrl+C] and
[Ctrl+V] hotkeys can be used for copy-paste operations too.
Suggestion:
It would be more convenient to use [Ctrl+C] and [Ctrl+V]
hotkeys for copy-pasting Design View of Flex 2 Beta 3 too because:
They're used in Code View already;
They more familiar for many users.
Solution:
Add [Ctrl+V] and [Ctrl+C] to default hotkeys for copy-pasting
in Design View of Flex 2 Beta 3.

"<body leftmargin="float">"
Can you say what that's doing? "float" is not a legal value for the leftmargin style, which requires an integer value. But its use is deprecated in favor of CSS anyhow.
Your pasted code is lacking a doctype or anything that would normally be above that stylesheet link. Is that just an oversight or is it really not there?

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.

Design view in DW MX 2004 v7.0.1

How can I set up the design view to show me what the page
actually looks like? I'm going back to doing tabled webpages
because it obviously can't handle CSS div tags, but the design view
shows my tables (rows/columns) with dashed lines, a bunch of green
arrows and pixel widths, etc. All I want to see is what the page
looks like. Am I screwed and have to alt+tab over to an IE window
to view my changes? Note: I'm working on a prototype for a
website-these are just going to be click-thru screens (no real
data, no 508 compliance, IE only, internal application).

> How can I set up the design view to show me what the

Actually looks like? In which browser? In which version? In
short, there
is no way to do this. Preview in the desired browsers to see
what it
actually looks like. And code the page so that it validates
to get the most
reliable cross-browser rendering - but be aware, DMX2004 is
not the best at
rendering CSS layouts.
> it obviously can't handle CSS div tags
Huh?
