Code Navigator Issue.

Hi - I have just installed DW and pasted some web page source code into the main window. The problem is whenever I click any where in the code window I get the code navigator popping up. I tried disabling it as mentioned in the help topic by clicking the check box but nothing works. The only way I can get rid of it is by pressing the 'Esc' Key, which is very annoying as it appears every time I click the cursor somewhere blocking my whole view. Is it necessary to restart your MAC after installing Adobe Collection, because I went onto install other third party apps, could that be the reason why this is happening. When I called technical support they advised me that it was not neccessary and have since spent a number of days installing the rest of my apps. Could someone please advise me - thanks, Adam

I haven't come across this problem. However, it sounds as though the preference isn't being saved. You can edit the preferences manually. Close Dreamweaver, and open /Users/your_username/Library/Preferences/Adobe Dreamweaver CS5 Prefs in a text editor.
Locate the following line in the [GENERAL PREFERENCES] section:
show code navigator popup=TRUE
Change it to this:
show code navigator popup=FALSE
Save the file. The next time you start Dreamweaver, the Code Navigator should remain hidden.

  • Code Navigation Issues

    This is such a basic keyboard navigation shortcut, and yet
    since I have installed Creative Suite CS4 Web Premium, it gives me
    this problem. I also have other random issues that are similar in
    nature such as CTRL-PgDn and so on. These things are like your
    little toe -- you only notice it when it's broken!
    I have uninstalled and reinstalled but no luck. Running on 64
    bit Windows XP if that helps and had zero problems with Adobe
    Creative Suite CS3 before this "upgrade". Adobe support is
    absolutely barren of anything even closely resembling this problem
    so I am stuck. Any thoughts or direction would be
    appreciated.

    Well, I do understand that they do hurt....

  • Code navigator stuck on

    Hi all,
    I hope you can help. I'm on a Mac using CS5. Somehow my code navigator (the little popup that shows html, css, etc) thinks it's always on and I can't turn it off or get it back to normal funtion. Every time I click in a page I am editing a warning message comes up that says "There is no destination for Code Navigator to show for the selection". In code view, the code navigator button can not be selected. In Live Code view very time I click in the page, Code Navigator opens.
    How can I reset Code Navigator back to it's original function?
    Thanks in advance for your help

    Fixed guys!! Quick browse over to the specific support section of Adobe.com for Dreamweaver and a highlighted 'important' update is available 'especially applying to Mac OS X Users'. I've downloaded this, rebooted and there we have it!! All sorted, with no Code navigator stuck!! Based on previous reports in this thread though I'm just wondering how long it will last!
    If it does return back to this problem I'll definitely try out your method Piet, it seems to make sense actually as to why maybe it started in the first place - as as well as downloading a new update for OS X, I was fiddling about strangely enough with my accessibility settings (Universal Access) the other day to check VoiceOver on the Mac could correctly read my webpages in order to cater for the elderly! Maybe I accidentally changed a setting or triggered an awaiting bug?
    Thanks again,
    I'll report back if things go wrong again - but anyone having the same issue head on over to the support page http://www.adobe.com/support/dreamweaver/, and click the relevant link - you can't miss it.

  • Problem with PHP, CSS & Code Navigator in CS4

    Hi,
    I've got al little problem with code navigator. To show the problem, I created this 3 files:
    test1.html
    The CSS-Definition is defined static, with simple HTML.
    <html>
    <head>
         <style type="text/css">
              @import "test.css";
         </style>
    </head>
    <body>
          <p>Hello World</p>
    </body>
    </html>
    test2.php
    The CSS-Definition is defined dynamic, with PHP-Code.
    <html>
    <head>
         <style type="text/css">
              <? echo "@import \"test.css\";\n"; ?>
         </style>
    </head>
    <body>
          <p>Hello World</p>
    </body>
    </html>   
    test.css
    The CSS-File which is imported in test1.html and test2.php
    p {
         font-size:20px;
    The Problem in Dreamweaver CS4
    When opening the test.html - File in Dreamweaver CS4, I can easily see the CSS-Definition of the <p>-Tag in Code Navigator. To edit these definition I can simple open the test.css by clicking on the definition in Code navigator. For a complex webpage this is a greate feature. Sadly, this does not work, when I open the test2.php. Although when going to Live View and selecting the <p>-Tag I can see the CSS-Definition and the file in which it is defined in Code Navigator. But by clicking on the definition the test.css DOES NOT OPEN!
    Has anybody a solution? Because many of our projects have dynamic CSS-Definitions, it would be a shame, if this would not work.
    Tanks for help! :-)

    I've done some testing, which might point you in the direction of an interim solution.
    This is the code for related_files.php:
    <!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">
    <head>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
    <title>Related files test</title>
    <?php include('include.css'); ?>
    </head>
    <body>
    <p>This is a paragraph.</p>
    </body>
    </html>
    This is the code for include.css:
    <style type="text/css">
    p {
         font-family:"Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
         color:#F00;
    </style>
    Note that the include file contains the opening and closing style tags.
    By including your styles like this in a PHP include file, Dreamweaver applies the CSS in Design view (you don't need to turn on Live View). Holding down the Alt key while clicking in Design view brings up the Code Navigator with all the details of the CSS. The one missing link in the chain is that clicking the style selector in the Code Navigator does not open the CSS file. However...
    The file that contains the CSS is listed in the Related Files toolbar, so you can edit it in Split view, and see the results in Design view in exactly the same way as with an HTML page and ordinary style sheet.
    As I say, not the full solution that you wanted, but it might be something worth experimenting with.

  • SP navigation issue -Error in sp2013

    Hi Bala,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you got an error when you used navigation in SharePoint 2013.
    Please install April CU 2013 for SharePoint 2013, compare the result.

  • Strange Navigation Issues After Using Pop-up Menu

    I have a Blu-ray project I'm working on.  It's 1920x1080 resolution. 
    I have a main menu and then seven sub-menus as chapter-selection menus for three different videos.
    The Main Menu has four buttons.  Button one is a highlights video, button two takes the user to the first of three chapter-selection menus for the first video.  Button three takes the user to the first of two chapter-selection menus for the second video and button four takes the user to the first of two chapter-selection menus for the third video.  I have transitions from the main menu to each of the three chapter-selection menus and back from any of the seven chapter-selection menus to the main menu.
    I also have a pop-up menu with the same four buttons on it as the main menu, except that the top button takes you to the main menu rather than playing the highlights video.
    The problem I have is that all of the navagition works fine when moving around the menus, unless you open the pop-up menu during a video and navigate to one of the chapter-selection menus.  When you do this, it works.  It goes to the first page of the chapter-selection menu for any of the three videos, but if you then go to the main menu from there (each chapter-selection menu has a "back to main menu" button on it), it will play the transition, but then jump you to one of the chapter-selection menus for the video who's chapter-selection menu you were just on.
    For example:  If I play the highlights video and while it's playing I open the pop-up menu and choose Video 3, it will take me to the first chapter-selection menu for Video 3.  If, once that menu comes up, I then scroll down to the "Back to Main Menu" button on that page and choose it, the transition from that menu to the Main Menu will play, but after it finishes, the Blu-ray will jump to the last chapter-selection menu page for Video 3.  If I then navigate back to menu page 1 of the chapter-selection menus for Video 3 and choose the exact same "Back to Main Menu" button, the transition will play again and this time the Main Menu will open up.
    The links for all of the menu buttons are correct, I've check them numerous times.  It just seems that they get screwed up after you've navigated somewhere from the pop-up menu.
    Sorry this is so long, but I wanted to try to explain it as best as possible.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks.

    Hey Shark.  I read your explanation of what's happening, but I am not sure why you are having that weird navigation issue.  There are a lot of weird anomalies that happen with Encore authored blu-rays, and things that just don't work that really should.  For the price, it does the job, but there are limitations.
    Last year when I started using it for blu-ray authoring, there were non-stop road blocks and things to overcome.
    Check out the documented misery.  It gets better at the end  .

  • How to hide code navigator icon in code view? DW CS5

    Hey all,
    Is there an easy way to turn the code navigator icon off in code view?  It likes to pop up at the most inconvenient times and hides parts of my code from me.  Do I have to disable 'all' tool tips?  Please help.  Thanks.

    I turn it off until I need it.

  • CS5.5 Split screen/code navigator crash with mac OS 10.10.1

    I am using CS5.5 on my macbook pro.  Since I've installed 10.10.1, when I try to open code navigator or change to split screen, I get the spinning wheel and need to force quit DW.  Is anyone else having this problem?   Is there a fix for this?  It worked great before OS10.10....thanx in advance.

    More information:
    I just noticed that I am only having this problem on one of my pages (index.html) in only one of my sites.  All other pages of this site have no problem when switching to split view.  Obviously, there is a code problem only on that page.  Still need help.

  • Code Navigator problems (CS6 on a Mac)

    When I click on an element (e.g. a paragraph of text), the Code Navigator opens a window displaying a list of selectors that apply to the element that I'm focussing on.
    When I then hover over one of the selectors, it should then show a list of the properties that apply to that selector (colour, font, margin etc). The hover doesn't work – simply nothing happens.
    Please can someone explain why this might be happening (or rather not happening!). I've checked the Preferences but couldn't see anything that I might have inadvertantly turned off. It's really frustrating!
    Thanks and best wishes

    You will have to check your volume licensing papers or contact sales support. We really can't know what you bought.

  • 2.1.2 update does not fix DVD Navigation issues :(

    The FrontRow 2.1.2 update still doesn't fix the DVD navigation issues where sub menus on MANY DVDs are not navigable. Using the up / down keys on the keyboard or remote causes the Volume to change and not navigating the menus like it is supposed to.
    This is a severe issue as it makes it impossible to play some DVDs or turn on the subtitles.

    Yeah, I have experienced this as well. Ridiculous -- how could this issue not have come up in product testing by the time the software has reached version 2.0? The solution on Apple's end should be obvious. All 4 directional buttons must act only as directional commands when using a DVD, and all other functions (such as volume) can only be accessible by hitting MENU first to bring up a list of other options.
    I'm all for simplicity, but this is the fault of the boneheaded 6-button Apple Remote. It requires their software to overload buttons with different commands depending on context, which is clearly an unacceptable limitation. They'll have to break down and roll out a proper remote with more discrete buttons one of these days and come to terms with the fact that shoehorning everything onto 6 buttons is not an elegant solution.

  • Why is Code Navigator disabled (and undocumented)?

    Hi all.
    I was editing some PHP that had a lot of functions in it.  I went to activate Code Navigator, but it was disabled in the View menu.  Anyone know why?
    I searched the help and got zero results for "code navigator", which is pretty lame.
    Thanks for any insight.

    Thank you.  It does help explain what Code Navigator does do.  I notice that's from the CS4 documentation.  Hopefully the CS5 doc will be complete by the time CS6 comes out.
    So from this I gather that there's no way to see a list of functions in the current file and jump between them.  That's not an acceptable omission for a development tool.
    Looks like it's back to Coda or Espresso.

  • HTML5 and Code Navigator

    Is it correct that, with HTML5 documents, the Code Navigator doesn't show the information inside the HTML5 elements like section, aside, nav etc? Also the Tag Selector doesn't show these tags. I do have the HTML5 pack installed.

    Just concluded that I have to reinstall my CS5 because Dreamweaver seems too instable. I just went back to CS4 and there the tags are visible in Tag Selector and in Code Navigator. Without the HTML5 plugin.

  • Irritating Code Navigator

    How do change the postition of the code navigator so that it does not cover up the tag that I am looking at or editing. I don't want to turn it off I only want it to popup close to the tag but not on top of it.

    Hi Jim,
    if I understand your question correctly: you want to move(?) the code-navi-panel? Then you should first click into the panel, after that use the ALT-key  + the left mouse click, after that you can drag/click it to a place, where it no longer disturbes your work. (Meens you click at the place you want to have it)
    If my answer is completely wrong, repeat it please in a simply manner.Hans-G.

  • Code Navigator hover properties?

    This does not work in DW CS4 on my Mac: "When you hover over

    Does anyone know how to get the hover effect to work so that
    the properties pop up as advertised?
    Thx

    Der Kauf,
    It should have been on by default, but maybe you disabled it.
    Maybe it's
    because you're on a page that does not have any CSS styles --
    it doesn't
    seem to pop up automatically when that's the case.
    Anyway, use Alt+Click to force the Code Navigator to pop up.
    Once it's
    up, there's a checkbox where you can un-disable it.
