Covert symbols to HTML in "Code view"

Hello, is where any way to find and convert symbols to HTML in Adobe Dreamweaver CC while in "Code view" ?
Example: search in open document for & and covert to &
I know if you paste text in "Design view" it auto converts to special HTML entry, but how to do it in "Code view"?
I found http://codingforums.com/javascript-programming/157976-find-replace-script-dreamweaver.html forum how to convert foreign characters to HTML, but what about symbols?
convertCF.htm
<html>
<head>
<title>convertCF</title>
<script src="convertCF.js"></script>
</head>
<body onload="convertCF();">
</body>
</html>
convertCF.js
function canAcceptCommand(){return true;}
function convertCF() {
var theDOM = dw.getDocumentDOM();
var theDocEl = theDOM.documentElement;
var theWholeDoc = theDocEl.outerHTML;
theDocEl.outerHTML = escapeExtended(theWholeDoc);
window.close();
function escapeExtended(s){
return s.replace(/([\x80-\uffff])/g, function (a, b) {
return "&#"+b.charCodeAt()+";"
Paste these 2 files in "Commands" folder and you have "Convert Foreign Characters to the Correct HTML codes" command. Anyone knows how to do it for symbols only?
Thanks

CS3 - Viewing HTML in code window, when selecting a image in design window on split mode wont work .

Does any 1 know how i can enable my split to be able to
select a image from the design mode window with mouse, and have it
highlight in the code veiw.
I have just upgraded to CS3 and in DW MX2004 i could select
HTML from the code view , and attribute would highlight in the
design view, and visa versa with the design mode, ..
But atm all i can do is highlight and right click the text
or image in the design view window when in split mode, to find the
HTML for that selected, and it wont allow me to view the selected
text or image in the design window, when i highlight the HTML ... i
could do it in MX2004 , and its annoying me that i can't do this in
CS3 ..
Any hints on how to fix this would be very much appreciated
Thanks in Advance

ChAoTiC,
That works for me on WinXP. After selecting your image in
Design View,
try hitting Ctrl+` on Win or Cmd+` on Mac to switch focus to
the Code
Pane. Does that work?
HTH,
Randy

View the html source code of an apex page

Hi everyone,
I search to how I can view the html source code of an apex page and to be able to modify it. That's why viewing the html source code from the browser when the application is running doesn't arrange me.
Has anyone an idea how it can this be possible?
Best regards,

Do you want to be able to pull up the HTML source generated by Apex, modify that copy, and then feed it back into Apex with the chagnes you made? If so you can't. Apex generates the HTML through its tools and you have to modify the generation routines to get different HTML.
Do you merely want to look at the generated HTML? In Internet Explorer all you have to do is right click on the page and choose View Source to open a window with the HTML source in an editor. I sometimes find it useful to save a page and manually edit the copy to immediately see the effects of certain changes to the underlying HTML and/or Javascript without permanantly making the change in Apex.

Disable view html source code

Hi,
Anyone know that how could I disable the html source code, so
no one can right click and view source code.
Thanks

Hi,

right click and view source code.
Thanks
David
There are methods that will disable the right click, but then
what do
you do for those people that go to the 'View' menu and select
'Page
Source'? Or those who use the CTRL-U? Or those of us who have
tools
like firebug that allow us to inspect the source both before
and after
it has been rendered.
In other words you can not really do what you want to do,
which is hide
your HTML source. The system just does not allow it at this
time.

Adding HTML into the library in 'Code' view

Adding an object into the Library from ‘Design’ view works as advertized… however I’m looking to add HTML into the Library that is not ‘seen’ in ‘Design’ view… for example… some of the META tag data in the Header section.
In my reading… I have come across references that this can be accomplished…but I’m being frustrated by the fact that while in ‘Code’ view the MODIFY/LIBRARY/ADD OBJECT TO LIBRARY…. The “Add object to library” is grayed out.
I’m about down to thoughts like “you can’t get there from here”… or … “you ain’t smart enough to figure out how to do it”.
Is this ‘doable’?... and if so… what are the proper sequence of steps.
Many thanks for any and all inputs..

Btw Nancy… just as a heads-up, to save the next guy a bit of frustrations…

HTML Code View

I am having problems with the HTML view in Robohelp 7, for
some reason the HTML could is stretched across the page with white
space between each section of code. The code still works correctly
but it is almost impossible to edit; as it jumps across the page
whenever you click on a section or try to add an insertion point.
Is this a known bug.
Any ideas?
Regards

Having just seen your other post can you please clarify the
problem. HTML view and Code view are the same so why post twice?
Does one of your posts relate to Design View.

Pasting smart quotes and apostrophes in code view.

Sine upgrading to Dreamweaver CS5, I haven't been able to copy/paste smart quotes and apostrophes into code view without them automatically being converted to straight quotes.
For example, the following sentence (notice the curly quotes):
John’s new song is called “DW Blues”
would get pasted into Code View as:
John's new song is called "DW Blues"
Notice the smart quotes and apostrophe are replaced with single and double ticks, or "straight quotes." While this seems like a minor detail, it's extremely important to our writers and editors to have them appear on the website exactly as typed.
If I do the same copy/paste in Design View (doc type is XHTML Transitional), it appears as:
John's new song is called "DW Blues"
The characters are still replaced, and the straight quotes are then entity encoded (as expected).
This doesn't happen with other valid UTF-8 characters like ™, ®, —, etc., or with any other code editors I've used, including DW CS3.
Is there a hidden preference somewhere to disable this "feature," or is it just a bug?
Please help!

It's now 4 years since jsparacio posted this, and I just wanted to let everyone know that I had -- and am still having -- the exact same problem with Dreamweaver CS5 (running first under Windows XP, then Windows 7, and now again with Windows 8.1). So it's not just Macs that are affected.
FWIW, I have set my DW CS5 Paste preferences to the 3rd of 4 options available
    1 - Text Only
    2 - Text With Structure
    3 - Text With Structure Plus Basic Formatting
    4 - Text With Structure Plus Full Formatting
in the EDIT > PREFERENCES > Copy/Paste Preferences dialog box.
But the Paste Special command ignores this setting, giving me only the first 2 options from which to choose, with option 2 the default selection for Paste Special operations (options 3 and 4 are grayed out, and can't be selected).
According to David Sawyer McFarland's _Dreamweaver CS5: The Missing Manual_ (O'Reilly Media, 2010), the reason these are grayed out is because I am pasting unformatted ASCII text which I generated in a program editor called "UltraEdit":
    "... Choose EDIT > PASTE SPECIAL to open the Paste Special window. Here, you can choose which of the four techniques you wish to use ... sort of. You're limited to what Dreamweaver can paste. For non-Microsoft Office products, you can use only the first two options--the others are grayed out--whereas you can choose from any of the four with text copied from Word or Excel." (McFarland, p. 81)
Regardless of such restrictions, standard copy-and-paste (CTRL+C followed by CTRL+V) works just fine for me using Dreamweaver CS4 (i.e., I have never needed to use the Paste Special command), but with DW CS5, neither Paste command (CONTROL+V or CTRL+SHIFT+V) works properly with typographic/curly/smart quotes.
All typographic quotes -- ASCII-0146 and ASCII-0147 (double quote marks); plus ASCII-0145 and ASCII-0146 (single quote marks, for quotes within a quote) -- are converted to inch (" is entered in the code) and foot (' is entered in the code) marks when I copy-and-paste text with these characters into Dreamweaver's Design View.
When I copy this same plain ASCII text directly into the code (rather than using Design View), typographic double open & close quotes are converted to the inch (") mark, and typographic single open & close quotes are converted to the foot (') mark.
The beginning of this week, I installed Dreamweaver CS5, ver. 11.0, Build 4909 under Windows 8.1 OS on my new Ultrabook. I was hoping that under Windows 8.1, DW CS5's handling of typographic quotes might improve so that I can actually use this program that I purchased 4 years ago. Alas, no such luck: I continue to have the same problem I had when I first upgraded to Dreamweaver CS5 back in August 2010 (then running under Windows XP on my desktop computer).
Back in August 2020, when I first asked about fixes, I was told to change the Title/Encoding setting of Page Properties to "Western European" -- which I tried, but it didn't work then, and it doesn't work now ... and even if it did, it wouldn't be a proper fix for the problem as I have plenty of good reasons for wanting my HTML page Title/Encoding set to Unicode (UTF-8), not Western European ("charset=iso-8859-1").
The ability to copy-and-paste typographic quotes is such a big deal for me that I chose back in August 2010 to revert to Dreamweaver CS4, which I've been using ever since.
It is *very* frustrating that, 4 years later, I still can't use this program, and shall be reverting to DW CS4, yet again.
I continue to be completely flummoxed by this. Every other program with which I am familiar converts non-typographic quotes to typographic/curly/smart quotes ... never have I seen the process automated in reverse!

Dreamweaver: code view - building links

Working in code view, does Dreamweaver have prefs to have the following behaviour with respect to creating links:
User selects some text in a sentence that will be the anchor for the link.
User selects an html file from the project file list.
User drags the file and drops it on to the text that will form the anchor.
What happens:
The selected' text is replaced by the contents of the title tag in the html file that was dropped onto it.
What the user might expect to happen (because it's the quick and intuitive way to build links but no other editor appears to have this functionality, apart from Homesite):
The selected text becomes the anchor of a link to the file that's just been dropped onto it.
Is there a pref in Dreamweaver that allows me to change this behaviour?
Mark

Is there a pref in Dreamweaver that allows me to change this behaviour?
No, but you can always select the text and use the bull's-eye icon to drag and drop on the filename, an even more intuitive way to make a link.

Dreamweaver CC crashes when switching from code view to design view

I am experiencing a recent problem with a file I am currently working. When I switch from code view to design view Dreamweaver crashes and requests a shut down. Other files seem to work without a problem. This particular files has 3 cascading EdgeAnimation CC files that are selected by media queries. I can test the page online without a problem but not in design or live view.

Since your new page didn't crash, this leads me to believe that you have some critical errors and/or conflicts in your other page(s).

Getting rid of Multiple Spaces in Code View (after Copying/Pasting)

Hello,
I'm trying to find a way to get rid of multiple spaces between words in Dreamweaver CS3's code view.
Oftentimes, when I copy/paste text from elsewhere (e-mail, website, etc), the Dreamweaver code shows up with multiple spaces. Normally, that wouldn't be problem -- except that my blog's auto-tag plug-in doesn't detect selected phrases when there are multiple spaces between words, e.g., it'll detect "Swiss Alps" in a post but not "Swiss Alps" (notice the extra space between words in the second phrase).
If at all possible, I'd like to be able to keep Dreamweaver's text formatting option when I copy and paste, as that means I don't need to manually put words in bold/italics.So, is there a way to keep that option while getting rid of all the extra spacing between words?
By the way, I'm familiar with Wordpress CSS, but not with Dreamweaver CSS. Not sure if there's any difference.
Any assistance would be much appreciated.

I make it a point to never paste formatted text into HTML pages. Formatted text from MS Office usually contains a variety of junk you don't want and I don't have that much faith in MS Word code removal tools.
Bold and Italics from Word or Outlook should be changed to current HTML tags of <strong> for bold and <em> or emphasis for italics anyway. Also see Logical Tags here:
http://www.htmlcodetutorial.com/logical.html
Find and replace is good for removing whitespace if you know how to do it correctly. Make backup copies just in case things go wrong. http://www.tjkdesign.com/articles/whitespace.asp

Server Side Include Rendering in Code View

I've been using Dreamweaver for many many years now and our
sites use SSIs extensively. Normally in the code view, the SSI just
shows up as an HTML include. But since getting Dreamweaver 8, some
of the SSIs are showing up as the content of the SSI in the code
view. Is this an option that needs to be turned off somewhere. I
don't want the SSI information being embedded into the code
everytime I download the page.
Thanks,
Mark

Thanks Harlene, good guess though. I had that problem too
downloading from the internet in an older version. No, this problem
is actually happening for a couple of our newer designers. I'm not
in the same state, so actually putting my eyes on the problem is
kinda hard but they are using FTP for there transfering. I have DW7
and they just installed DW8. I was thinking it might be a default
in the new version throwing things off and sure enough it was.
Totally forgot about the invisible items check box. Oops! Thanks
again.

Template - Can't edit in code view

Can anyone help? I'm using Dreamweaver 8 and have a very
basic template that contains one editable region. I've been getting
an intermittent problem with trying to make changes to the editlbe
region in code view (on pages created from the template.) I get a
long error message about the fact that I am trying to make changes
in code that is not marked as editable, but it IS in an editable
region. Seems to allow me to make changes in Design View - but some
of what I want to do needs to be done in code view.
I've built virtually identical templates before, and never
had this problem. Please let me know if you can spot the problem.
If I need to include the CSS let me know.

Does the page validate (
http://validator.w3.org)? Code
errors anywhere on
the page (even in the CSS) will cause these error messages to
be thrown.
Also, the proper syntax for comments is not this -

but rather this -

(note the spaces)

Editable region but not in code view

EDIT: While cooking dinner I thought that the computer "fixes" itself when it reboots what about Dreamweaver? I closed DW down. Reopened the app and voila. I CAN edit that section in code view now. It's weird but it appears to be working. I'll repost if something is amiss again regarding this issue. I'll leave the post up in case it's helpful to anyone else. thanks.
I have new pages made from a template. I can only edit in design view NOT in code view. I get the standard error of I'm trying to edit where I'm not allowed. I've made templates many times but never had this problem (I don't think!). Does someone have a tip or help for me? In addition to this issue I was not able to change the title of the page until I added the editable region in the template for title line. That's always been default editable before. Thanks a lot. I'm using DW8.
begining code from template:
<!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>Party Invitation Boutique</title> 
begining code from new pages:
<!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>Baby Blue</title> 
-------------then further down on the page is the editable region-------------

<div id="content_right">test only can type in design view. can't add div boxes
even in this editable region. ugh. can't even type next this this text in the
code view. </div>


Best thing you can do in the future is run your code through the validator if the editable region exists:
http://validator.w3.org/
If there are code errors with other tags on the page then it is possible DW is overlooking its own template code. Unfortunately without seeing the whole page I cannot say this is definitely the case, but a likely possibility.

Help! Can't paste into code view or property inspector

I'm experiencing a weird and extremely annoying bug in Dreamweaver CS6 -- I can't paste text from outside apps into DW's code view or into the property inspector (such as URLs).
Pasting doesn't work no matter the method: Ctrl + V, right-clicking or using the Edit menu. Pasting works normally in every other program. If I copy within Dreawmweaver, pasting works fine.
Does anyone have a solution for this? I'm running Win 8 and DW 12.1 through Creative Cloud. Searching the forums, I see others have reported the same issue. Some have been able to fix it by deleting the configuration file; that didn't fix the issue for me. I'd like to try reinstalling DW, but the Adobe Application Manager doesn't seem to allow that.
I began noticing this bug about two weeks ago. That might have been about the same time I updated to 12.1. Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Cory K.

Adding to my last post, I used a clipboard format inspector called nclip (http://code.google.com/p/nclip/) to see if I could find a pattern between "what works" and "what doesn't".
There are two cases where I'm seeing paste-into-Dreamweaver CS6 fail:
Paste into Code View fails, but Paste into Design View works!
Paste into either Code View or Design View fails
I went through the list of programs that worked and didn't worked, using nclip to show what clipboard formats were being saved from each working and non-working source. It appears that DreamWeaver CS6 as of January 9, 2013 doesn't accept the most basic text clipboard formats:
CF_UNICODETEXT
CF_TEXT
CF-OEMTEXT
CF_LOCALE
If these are the only clipboard formats used by an app (for example, Window's venerable Notepad.exe), Dreamweaver doesn't appear to handle them. Most programmer-style text editors output just these formats, because they are presumed to be understood any application that handles text. These fail for both pasting into codeview and design view.
Interestingly, Chrome browser fails the code view test, but it does work in design view! It outputs the four clipboard types above, plus one more:
Custom Format: HTML Format
Hypothesis 1: Any application that puts HTML Format on the clipboard will paste into design view, but not necessarily code view.
Next, Visual Studio 2010 and Sticky Notes, which doesn't include HTML Format as a clip type, works for both code view and design view. They both output this type in addition to the basics:
Custom Format: Rich Text Format
Two programs that output Rich Text Format without HTML Format are Sticky Notes and WordPad. These both work with Code View and Design View. From these limited tests on my system, it appears that for Dreamweaver to accept a text paste from an outside program into Code View, that program must output Rich Text Format to the clipboard. Otherwise, it fails. Dreamweaver will accept HTML Format, but only in Design View. Firefox is an exception in that it don't export Rich Text Format, but still works with Code View. It might use OLE, though (Chrome doesn't seem to use OLE, and it breaks in code view).
Hypothesis 2: Any application that puts Rich Text Format on the clipboard will paste into design view AND code view.
If Dreamweaver is really ignoring the basic text clipboard formats, and it's not just my system configuration, then this is a bug. Probably something that got overlooked in testing.
To reproduce on Dreamweaver 12.1 build 5966:
Try copy/pasting text from Notepad.exe into Dreamweaver Code View (DWCV). This fails for me.
Try copy/pasting text from WordPad.exe into DWCV. This works!
Try copy/pasting text from Internet Explorer 9 or Firefox into DWCV. This works!
Try copy/pasting text from Chrome. This fails to paste into Code View, but does paste into Design View
The Code View workaround:
Use Firefox or Internet Explorer for your browser if you're copy/pasting source code.
If you're working from another text editor, try copy/pasting into intermediate programs Sticky Notes or WordPad, then copy/paste from there into Dreamweaver.
So that is my experience on Windows 7 64-bit. Anyone else experiencing the same thing?
