CS3 Templates - css disappears in design view

In DW CS3, I've noticed that after I've been working with
templates for a while, often with several templates open
simultaneously, the style rendering suddenly disappears in design
view, and I see only the unformatted text on the screen. If I close
DW and restart, the pages render correctly, but after 15 min. or
so, the style problem returns. Anyone else run into this?

Wait - is this about FLASH or CSS? (see your subject line).
Anyhow - the solution posted here 3 or 4 times a day would be
to make the
links to the Flash in the Template page be ROOT relative
links, i.e., change
this -
<script type="text/javascript">
AC_FL_RunContent(
'codebase','

CS3 loses css formatting in design view for non-templated pages

We recently upgraded to CS3. All of the pages on our site are
templated except the home page. The home page, when viewed in
design view in Dreamweaver, looks as if the css styles are missing.
Sometimes refreshing the view causes some of them to appear, but
not all. This didn't happen in the old version. And it's not
happening (so far) on our templated pages. Any ideas?

DW6x was not the sharpest knife in the drawer and would
tolerate lots of
things that DWCS3 will not.
I suggest you do the following -
* Change your doctype from this one (inserted by DMX6x, and
broken) -
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01
Transitional//EN">
to this one (valid and complete - the way DMX6x *should* have
done it) -
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01
Transitional//EN"
http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
Now your page will render in Standards mode, and not quirks
mode (a very bad
thing).
* Change this (in your stylesheet) -
vertical-align: top;
end FedFAQ
/* ********************** COLLAPSE/EXPAND MENUS
to this -
vertical-align: top;
/* end FedFAQ */
/* ********************** COLLAPSE/EXPAND MENUS
I am sure that by doing this you will see a remarkable change
in your
page....

Why does some text disappear in Design View?

Hi,
I've had a website for about six years. On my Windows XP computer I used Dreamweaver 8 with minimal problems. When I upgraded to Windows 7 last spring, I bought Dreamweaver CS5. I've had a lot of problems since then. Here's the latest and most serious:
I went to edit my homepage about a week ago, and all the text in the middle column (not the left or right sidebars) suddenly disappeared in Design View. If I click on Live View, the text shows up, as it does on the internet. This now seems to be happening in each page I open. I'm unable to edit my pages.
I tried to install the recent update from Adobe.com, but was unable to do so. An adobe tech told me to reinstall Dreamweaver and try again. No luck.
I never had this problem in earlier versions of Dreamweaver. My website is on the first page of Google in many categories, and I'm afraid to change it much. How do I fix this problem?
You can view my website here: http://karathecomputertutor.com/
Thanks.

You have some issues, however I dont know if they are related. You have two opening <html> tags....thats not good. I would suggest you fix your validation issues first, see if that doent help, if it does not, let us know.

Why has my form suddenly disappeared from design view?

My form has just disappeared from 'design view' but if i hit 'live view' it re-appears, the code is all there i just cant view it?

Its because your table code is broken. I had a job this morning wading through it so I eventually selected just the from part - <form> </form> - which I believe is intact and dumped it in another DW file.
If you can't find the broken or missing tag/s can I suggest you do this and rebuild the outer table.

Web Page Text Disappearing in Design View

Hi,
I'm using Dreamweaver 8, and I am loading the page of an
existing web page into Dreamweaver (page was coded in notepad, not
in Dreamweaver). The web page uses CSS and is full of text. Problem
is, I cannot see any of the text that is in a table while in design
view.
The tables in design view look like they are compressed
together, and the site in design view doesn't resemble the actual
page at all.
I can see the text on the webpage in code view, and when I
preview the page in IE or Firefox, the text is there - however in
Design view it disappears!
I have tried Expanded Tables Mode too, but no luck.
Any suggestions? Is there some setting I need to adjust, to
see the text on this page while in design view?
Thanks!
N~

Link to CSS problem (in Design View)

Hello Dreamweaver experts,
In the Design View Dreamweaver CS3 is not picking up the
styles specified in a linked stylesheet. Let me explain...
I am using an application in our office that relies upon HTML
(but does not use a standard web browser).
I need to refer to linked stylesheets using a variable like
so;
[example #1]
<link href="{FILES_DIR}/path/css/stylesheet.css"
rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
The use of the variable construction "{FILES_DIR}" eliminates
the need to hard code a drive letter into the link which is
preferrable. Without "{FILES_DIR}" I have to hard-code the drive
letter like so;
[example #2]
<link
href="file:///K|/additional-path-details/path/css/stylesheet.css"
rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" -->
Both examples above yield the same result in the application
(the stylesheet is found and its styles properly applied).
However, only with example #2 does Dreamweaver's "design
view" pick up and apply the stylesheet. Dreamweaver cannot find the
stylesheet or apply its styles using example #1.
My question is how can I make Dreamweaver understand and
apply what "{FILES_DIR}" means.
Any tips, tricks or pointers would be most welcome...

Did you look into "design-time" styles sheets? That may solve
your problem.
It won't take care of the path in the document though...

CSS Flyouts in Design View

Hi,
I'm currently developing an intranet site with a CSS flyout
navigation bar on the left side of the page that comes in via an
SSI in a Dreamweaver template. The flyouts render fine in Firefox
or IE 6, but they don't render in Dreamweaver's Design View.
Instead, the flyouts show up as stati gaps between the toplevel
menu items, and hover events have no effect. I don't know if this
is possible, but it would be great to be able to turn hover events
on in Design view (at least for CSS) so that I can assess the
actual look and feel as I'm editing a site without having to check
it in a browser every few minutes.
Does anyone know if it is possible?
Thanks in advance,
Greg

The first thing is to remove this code from your file:
<style type="text/css">

</style>
The above code isn't doing anything special when you have already defined the style sheet using this:
<link href="styles/styles.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
Once you have done it, post back again and tell us what other problems do you actually see.
The page online and your code given here aren't the same. So check this and rectify it.

Odd CSS issue in Design View

In either Design View or Split View (in the Design view
section), I cannot mouse select or highlight text in the main
content portion of the page. The cursor remains as the default
arrow and does not switch to the text cursor. As far as I can tell,
this is a CSS based issue (since if the CSS file is not used, the
text can be selected). This occurs in CS2 and CS3. The CSS and
XHTML validate, so I'm really confused.
The troubled area is the central content starting with the H2
heading "About Us." I know Dreamweaver can be a
little on on displaying CSS properly, but this just seemed to be
too much. Any one else seen anything this flakey? Or, does any one
else see an error in the CSS that I am missing?
The big issue with this is that the code
appears fine and displays in browsers ok, but client's will
use the Design view in Dreamweaver to update content. If they
cannot select the text then it is possible they will think the
HTML/CSS is broken. Even though designs can be done in multiple
ways, I like this solution to a 3 column fixed-width design with
header and a footer that moves down depending on body
content.

Cannot view css styles in design view

Is there a way to get Dreamweaver to display style in design
view when the css files are in virtual folders?
Have tried using ASP (Vbscript) snippet to write in the
server URL and using Liveview, but still doesn't display. It
appears that DW only recognizes hard coded relative links or hard
coded full URLs.
Browser displays these documents with no errors.
Please Help! I have users who will be confused attempting to
edit the documents without visible style, and need to use the
virtual folders.
Thanks.
Sean

Try using Design Time Stylesheets.
Open the Design-Time Style Sheets dialog box by doing one of
the following:
1. Right-click in the CSS Styles panel, and in the context
menu select
Design-time, or
2. Select Text > CSS Styles > Design-time.

DW CS3: Template & CSS Rules problems

Dreamweaver CS3 Templates and CSS Rules.
I've built a basic html page with a header, navigation links and main content area, then saved this as a template with the content area as the edit region.
When I create new html pages from this template I want to insert Divs in the edit region for each new page, which I can successfully do, but for some reason Dreamweaver is not allowing me to create new CSS Rules for each new Div? So I'm not able to control position, text layout, colours etc for the new content. So my question is how do I do this?
I got around this with the current website by creating the template with virtually all of the content for the entire website firstly, then deleting as necessary for each page, which I know is the wrong way to build html site pages from a template!
I wonder if someone could please point me in the right direction to get me back on track? Any pointers would be very much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Yes, there is a meta tag at the start of the CSS rules. Here's a copy and paste of the code generated in DW CS3. Template was created from a html doc...

Background Image Disappears in Design View

Hi, I am new to website design and just recently the background image stopped showing up in design view. When I switch to live view and check in the browser though the background shows up again. It used to work before but it just stopped working recently. I have been trying to find a solution but it has not been working out. If anyone has any ideas as to what could fix my problem, it would be greatly appreciated.
Here is my css
@charset "UTF-8";
#container {
          height: 1280px;
          width: 960px;
          margin-top: 0px;
          margin-right: auto;
          margin-bottom: auto;
          margin-left: auto;
          position: relative;
          background-image: url(../Images/background%20copy.jpg);
          background-repeat: no-repeat;
h3 {
          margin-top: 420px;
          margin-bottom: 195px;
          text-align: center;
          position: absolute;
          margin-left: 437.5px;
          text-transform: capitalize;
          font-variant: small-caps;
          font-size: 24px;
          font-style: inherit;
          text-decoration: underline;
h2
          margin-top: 160px;
          margin-bottom: 195px;
          text-align: center;
          position: absolute;
          margin-left: 230px;
          text-transform: capitalize;
          font-variant: small-caps;
p1
          margin-top: 350px;
          position: absolute;
          margin-left: 40px;
          margin-right: 60px;
          font-size: 18px;
          text-align: center;
When i turn it on live view it is also formatted correctly and everything. But when it is on just design or split view the text and all of the pictures don't follow any of the css.

After applying a template to a page design view is blank - I can only edit in code view.

When I apply a template to a page everything is fine. I can see the page elements in design view and code view. I can edit the page and upload it and all is fine. However, when I save the page with a new name or close the page and then reopen the design view is empty, the code view is normal. I would like to be able to see the page in the design view and cannot. I don't know what to do. I hope someone has an idea for me. Thank you.
I am using DW CS5 and pages are ASP.

When you say "template" are you talking about the .dwt Template file from DW?
If so, you may be using it incorrectly. Once you create the .dwt, all of your new pages need to be created via File > New > Create Page From Template and then saved to your site. If you are using the .dwt file and doing "Save As" to create more pages, you're going to run into all sorts of problems.
Do you have a link we could look at?

Still having issues with CSS fonts in design view

I only see the following error messages when I enter design
view for a component *other* than my main mxml component:
unable to resolve '/ProjectName/assets/JapaneseBrush.ttf' for
transcoding
Unable to transcode /ProjectName/assets/JapaneseBrush.ttf.
The resource named is the project's root directory (?), and
it refers to line 4. (Same line as the src: url() row in the CSS
file.)
These errors don't show up until after I tab to the design
view, and the font isn't used in the design view (other than this
the CSS works fine). (Even though it works perfectly when actually
running the Flex app.)
I'm using an external CSS file that looks like this:
@font-face{
src: url("/assets/JapaneseBrush.ttf");
fontFamily: JapaneseBrush;
fontStyle: regular;
I've tried actually placing the ttf file in a few different
locations, ProjectName/assets/, ProjectName/src/assets,
ProjectName/src, ... no change. My main mxml is in ProjectName/src.
Anyone have an issue like this before?

I've aleady done so before - FB-9873.
It's not *exactly* the same problem - now the example project
I gave from last time doesn't work at all. I've added a new comment
to the bug report but it's currently "closed" so it has to be
copied or re-opened or something. No time to create a new example
from scratch this time, sorry.
The extremely annoying aspect to this problem is that I have
a large, complex project where the fonts work fine in design view
(now - it wasn't when I created this thread), and I have no idea
why. It seemed to just magically decide to work one day!
This is a re-occuring problem that seems to come and go
magically, and it probably needs some serious bug testing by more
than just a developer.

BUG: JSP disappears from design view with MyFaces / Tomahawk

Hi,
When I try to create a JSF JSP in design view (as opposed to code view) using MyFaces and Tomahawk 1.1.3, the design view will blank and display "Type, paste or drag and drop content onto this blank....". This usually happens after I've dragged half a dozen JSF outputlabels and inputtext boxes. The code still exists in code view, and will even compile and deploy ok, it's just the design view that stops working. The design view usually blanks while I'm switching between the code tabs at the top of the screen, although I'm fairly sure it blanked as I dropped a textbox onto the form once.
I've restarted JDev, tried to create a second page, clicked refresh etc but I can't get it back. This has happened starting from scratch 3 times now.
I've switched back to the builtin reference implementation JSF (and no Tomahawk), and JDeveloper works fine, so it seems to be a problem using MyFaces. I've added MyFaces and Tomahawk via Manage Libraries.
This Oracle article - http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/101/howtos/myfaces/index.html
states that the RI version can't be swapped out in JDev Developer Preview version but I understand that's not true now?
I'm using :-
JDeveloper SU4
java 1.5
Windows XP SP1
Thanks for any help.

I found the answer. I went to View, Style Rendering and clicked several of the boxes Display Media was one.
