Can't edit html

I have Dreamweaver CS5. Someone asked me to look at their website as it wasn't displaying correctly in IE v8. I downloaded the page and opened it in Dreamweaver but I can't edit the html. I When I tried to delete some code it didn't move.
Any ideas what's going wrong please?

Hi,
1. In my IE 8, the page is correct, your findings "Someone asked me to look at their website as it wasn't displaying correctly in IE v8." I can't confirm.
2. The site uses templates. If you need suggestions for their treatment you can find them here for example (look for Murray's hint):
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/700322?tstart=0 or in other threads if you use DW threads search funktion.
... or you come back with the concrete terms for "When I tried to delete some code it didn't move."

  • Can't edit .html file in dreamweaver?

    Why can't I edit .html file in Dreamweaver CS 5.5 when it is not attached to a template?
    I have always been able to edit it every other time I have opened the file (since I built the site over two years ago).
    Now each time I try to edit it in Design mode, no matter where I click in the file the whole page gets a dark grey overlay and I can't get a curser.
    I am still able to edit the code directly but I do not want to be restricted.
    The last thing I did the last time I opened the file was paste Google Analytics code in just before the </head> tag. I did this to all the files on the site but this is the only one that isn't working. I have tried taking out this code but it makes no difference.
    I am using a 6 month old Macbook pro.
    Can anyone help me?

    In your stylesheet you have -
    .container {    overflow:hidden; width: 100%;}
    .container2 {   overflow:hidden; width: 646px; margin:0 0 10px 0}
    Try right clicking on the page in Design view and then selecting Element view > Full and see if that helps.

  • Plain Text will not display correctly, how can i edit html?

    Hello,
    my beloved MacBook Pro has been a godsend, however i have found that it is incapable of displaying Plain Text, in Text Edit, Safari (View Source), or Dreamweaver's code view. Thus, i am finding it impossible to view or edit html.
    the way it displays is either all jumbled and overlapping, or spread out over impossible distances. sadly i cannot post a picture.
    we also have a G3 and a G4 in the house, both running 10.3, and they also have the same issue with plain text.
    I have not found any topic on this, here or in google. can someone please help?
    thanks,
    Tobias

    Tom, very kindly, has got me most of the way to a happy ending.
    one or another font file or cache was causing the problem. i removed all fonts from Home/Library/Fonts, then ran FontFinagler, rebooted, and things display correctly.
    now i must figure out how to establish which fonts are suitable suitcases to be used.

  • Can't edit html snippet

    I have numerous html snippets that work fine. However I can't edit them any more. When I click on the snippet in iWeb I used to get a window with the snippet code to edit. That doesn't happen any more. Same thing for new html snippets: No edit window to place code in. Don't know when it stopped working since I haven't tried editing snippets for several months.
    Thanks for your help - Volker

    Thanks. That was helpful. Deleting preferences or repairing permissions didn't help. Reinstalling did the trick. FYI: You can install iWeb straight from disk individually without Pacifist.
    After all of that I found out what had caused the problem in the first place: I had moved the iWeb application into a sub folder of the Applications directory. That seems to be breaking this feature only. Any thoughts on moving applications? Is there a best practice not to?

  • How can I edit HTML code that was previously inserted?

    Inserting HTML code is easy enough - Object -> Insert HTML...
    But editing the code does not seem possible. It seems that it's necessary to delete the HTML object and reinsert it to make a change. What am I missing?

    Right click. I'm on my phone, but an option like "Edit HTML..." should be among the choices when an HTML embed object is selected.

  • Can't edit HTML snippets

    Hello there,
    This is around the third time I ask about this issue. I installed Leopard with iLife '08, and later (after I started having the problem) installed iLife '09.
    What happens is, when I try to add an HTML snippet, I am presented with a blank box with a white outline, which I cannot alter in any way, save for moving and resizing it. Also, I cannot edit the HTML snippets I added before I had this problem. And finally, the dynamic preview of my blog merely displays the same blank box I described above. This happens in both iWeb '08 and iWeb '09.
    The problem arose after I started poking around in folders such as /Library, /System/Library, and /Users/Sean/Library (I'm not exactly sure, as this was around four months ago). The thing is, I opened iWeb again nearly a week after, so I'm not completely certain there is a correlation, although I consider this the most likely culprit.
    Please don't tell me to edit or delete .plist files, as this has no effect. Nor does creating a new /Users/Sean/Library/Application Support/iWeb/Domain work (which, oddly enough, I thought did, but it was after a Leopard reinstall).
    I would really appreciate if you speculated on which file I need to restore (try adding an HTML snippet in a working iWeb, while running Activity Monitor, and browsing the files it uses?), and I can restore it using Pacifist (http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/12743) and my Leopard install DVD. By the way, is it safe to do this, now that I have iWeb '09 installed? I would imagine, since upgrading didn't fix the issue, but I can't be certain...
    Thank you so much for putting up with this,
    SeanDaBomb

    Try Troubleshooting 101: delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, repair disk permissions, reboot and try again.
    If that doesn't help log into another account on your Mac, open iWeb, create a test site and see if you can use the snippets there as intended. If not then a reinstall of iWeb seems warranted. To do so you'll have to delete the current application and all files with "iWeb" in the file name that reside in the HD/Library/Receipts folder.
    If the snippets are able to be used correctly in the other account then there's something in your account that is amiss. Post back with the results.

  • Can't edit html generated by iweb

    files generated by iweb do not seem to be editable
    i have tried dreamweaver 8 and it does not seem to like the code generated by iweb
    anyone else having the same problem?

    iWeb seems to make a couple "index.html" files that don't really contain anything. Odd.
    The index seems to have this meta tag:
    <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url= iWeb%20Try.html" />
    that jumps to the content page...
    But the regular content pages (welcome, etc) open OK in Text apps and Dreamweaver for me.

  • Can't access HTML code in Eloqua

    I want to enhance the functionality and looks and mobile email template. For that I am trying to access HTML Editor to modify HTML code. How can I edit HTML codes in Eloqua10?

    Hello Hammad,
    When it comes to email mobile templates, the feature that makes them a mobile template is the CSS code that can be accessed by going to the toolbox as demonstrated below:
    What this means to you is the following:
    While you cannot access the full source code of this email -- because it is a templated email and not an html uploaded email, you have two options to customize it:
    1) You can delete ALL the contents that come with the template -- the default image and text, and then add your contents to it.
    2) You can upload an email and use the css code that appears in the screenshot above.
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks,
    Tarek

  • How to edit html in iWeb

    How can I edit html in iWeb?

    but info was needed on how to edit / add additional coding as no obvious way of designing a typical 'Contact Us' form included in iWeb
    Then you should have said that in your topic.
    And if it did not answer the question, then say so in the same topic.
    Anyway, the HTML Snippet was invented for your purpose.
    So find the Contact Us code, usually a form, and paste it in the HTML Snippet.

  • How can I edit an html file in Firefox using View Source?

    I have created an html webpage and saved it to my pc. I can't edit the html file in firefox when I right click on the page and select "View Source". I can view the code but I can't edit it. I can do this in IE9.
    I thought I was able to do this before in Firefox.
    Did my settings change somewhere that I can no longer do this?
    Do I have to have something checked in the Web Developer extensions for it to work?
    I'm using Firefox 24.0
    Thank you for any help with this. :)

    The View Source window in Firefox cannot be used to change computer codes. Nor can the Web Developer tools.
    Sorry for any inconvenience.
    I suggest using Programmer's Notepad.

  • Can't edit greyed-out HTML [was: hi]

    can anyone help us out we editing html file on dreamweaver, but some file can not be edited due to be grey or locked ... not to unlock it please help really appreciated
    [Subject line amended by moderator for clarity]

    If your page is mostly grayed out, it is most likely a child page created from a Template. You can only edit content within Editable Regions.  Everything else is controlled by the main template.dwt file.  For more info, hit F1 help and read about Dreamweaver Templates.

  • How can I edit Muse HTML structure?

    I am trying to integrate a Google Adwords conversion tracking snippet onto a mobile landing page.  Google reviewed my code and gave me a snippet that needs to be added to a line of code that Muse created.  How can I make this change in Muse?  Or is there another way to access the code outside of Muse?

    Hi Gaurav,
    I have been trying that.  The problem is that I need to include a Google "onclick" command in a spot that I can't edit.  I added Google Analytics and other Google Adwords Conversion Tracking snippets utilizing the Object Menu -> insert HTML and those are working fine.  It is the onclick command on the phone number that I cannot get to work.  The Google Adwords team told me that I need to add the "onclick" command into the script that Muse created for the actual hyperlink/button.  (the bold is what they are telling me needs to be added)
    <a class="nonblock nontext rounded-corners Phone-Number-Blue clearfix grpelem" id="u226-6" href="tel:509-676-xxxx" onclick="goog_report_conversion('tel:509-676-xxxx')"><!-- content --><p id="u226-4"><span title="(509) 676&#45;xxxx">(509) 6</span><span title="(509) 676&#45;xxxx" title="(509) 676&#45;xxxx" id="u226-2">7</span><span title="(509) 676&#45;xxxx">6&#45;xxxx</span></p></a>
    All of my Google page conversion tracking is working just fine.  But I have not been able to make the conversion tracking for the telephone number on a mobile landing page.  Any assistance you can offer would be greatly appreciated!
    Thank you.

  • Can't Edit Valid CSS/HTML page with DW

    I have a page that contains valid HTML and CSS but it is VERY
    hard to edit with DW-CS3. The formatting in design view looks
    nothing like the page when displayed in a browser. I can always
    edit the code directly via the code view but I have users that want
    to update the site using the design view. Maybe I don't have DW set
    up properly . Can someone take a look and let me know if this page
    can be edited? Will it require CSS changes ? Thanks in advance for
    any help.

  • HTML Snippets- I can't edit them!

    Hey,
    I've been having this issue since I deleted a bunch of files and folders (which I thought belonged to removed applications) from ~/Library and /Library.
    What happens is, when I insert an HTML snippet, I see a small box that looks like it's for inserting text, but I can't edit any of the HTML. Clicking on the box has no effect. When I drag things like Google Maps and Countdown Timer onto a page, the same, obstinate box appears, and refuses to comply with any requests I make.
    So I think what I need to do is delete the file ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb/Domain and recreate my site in iWeb. I'm pretty sure this is going to work, because I restored my system once, and after it didn't find my site, and created a new Domain file, I no longer had the problem (of course, after I moved Domain back to its previous location, I wound up having the same problem, again).
    Anyway, I'm just wondering whether there's a simpler way to fix up this mess. Although I think my site could benefit form an overhaul.
    Thanks!
    SeanDaBomb

    Try quitting iWeb, deleting the preference - Home Folder/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iWeb.plist,
    restarting your Mac, running Disk Utility to repair permissions and relaunching.

  • Can I Edit SD and HDV footage at the same time in CS4?

    I have a Sony PD 150 camcorder and I'm looking at buying a Sony HDR-HC# HDV 1080i camcorder to use as a second camera on video shoots.  Can I edit footage from both cameras on the same timeline in CS4?    I'm using a PC, running Windows XP Home Edition, Version 2002 with an Intel (R) Pentium (R) 2.80 GB processor with 2.5 GB of RAM.  Thanks!
    Lewis B.

    Do you already have CS4 ?
    CS5 is days away.  9 Days for the first look.
    I have a Windows XP 2005 with 3.4GHz with 4GB of ram and it cant handle HDV for HD video.
    I have a Sony HVR Z1U and use the in camera down-rez and edit in SD just fine.
    Like said before you really need a new computer to edit the HDV but if your going to DVD then your only using SD anyway.
    But to answer you question you can mix formats with CS4.
    As you can see my system ranks second from last on Bills Benchmark tests.

    Take the test to see how your system stacks up.
