CSS and HTML not merging in design view

I hate questions that start with "all the sudden this happened."
I was using Dreamweaver CS5.5 along with some other things I had open.  I was off doing something with one of the other things and came back to Dreamweaver.  It was in design view not live view.  All it shows me the HTML without merging the CSS that goes with it.  However, when I hit Live View, it merges the code and displays just fine. 
My machines been acting funny lately.  Earlier today, Outlook kept shutting down, but that stopped.  Some times my cursor moves strangely.  Surely, this isn't a virus causing this with Dreamweaver.  I run good protection and keep it updated.
I thought maybe IIS was not running, but it is.  Without it, it probably would not have merged the CSS in live view.  What could I possibly have done to this thing? 

Thanks everybody, I did both of your suggestions to no avail.  I looked and looked and couldn't find a reason for it.  I had a backup of the files from a few days ago and I started replacing individual files to find the problem, but that got old.  So I finally just copied in the whole backup and it's fine.
This had to be something creepy we'll never track down - not worth the time.
Thanks for trying.

  • Images and styles not showing in Design view on CS3

    Hi all,
    I am playing around with a CSS website template that I downloaded and
    opened in DW-CS3. I am just using this to learn and play around with. It
    came with the style sheet, jpg images etc.
    I just noticed that when in Design view for the index page, that the images
    and styles, menus are not displaying, only the html text is visible in Design view.
    When I preview the site with a browser like IE or FF, it displays fine along with
    any changes I have made.
    Does anyone have any ideas?
    Regards,
    dano

  • CSS style not rendering in design view

    I have style="max-width:600px" in a image but it wont show in design view on Dreamweaver CS4

    The parent file MUST be named with .shtml or .shtm as an extension.  It's that extension that tips the server off that the file contains server directives and that it should be parsed to find them (normally, fetched files are not parsed by the server).  Using these filename extensions will not affect the XHTML strict validation of the file (by the way, is there a reason for sticking with XHTML?).
    It is not necessary to have a testing server defined to see proper HTML includes rendered in Design view.  I believe that by renaming your file with the correct extension you will see this include expressed in Design view. It is a little unclear to me whether the correct syntax for a virtual include is to use the root slash or to omit it.  For example, Wikipedia says -
    The file parameter defines the included file as relative to the document path; the virtual parameter defines the included file as relative to the document root.
    Then later it says -
    The file parameter defines the included file as relative to the document path; the virtual parameter defines the included file as relative to the document root.
    There is, in fact, a big difference between these two statements!  From a personal point of view, I don't use HTML includes at all (always use PHP includes which are written differently).  But I think you can use the file include as I have shown safely - that's assuming that the two files are at the same level.

  • After reopening dreamweaver files, the table and its contents are not shown in design view

    I got a problem with deisgn view which has stucked me for the whole week. I've designed a webpage with dreamweaver CS4. After reopening this webpage, I got problem to see the tables and images inserted in dreamweaver (the sliced images from fireworks works well). Somehow this problem only existed in design view, but NOT is browswer view/ live view.  I thought it is the setting problem, but I tried to reopen the webpage I designed earlier... got no problem in either design or live view. I also tried starting over another new file, same problem existed (tables/images do not show in design view) I am really confused. Any thoughts?
    I've already done my research everywhere, but cannot find solution.

    Thank you so much... it works...
    I should come here earlier... wasted lots of time !! 

  • VB code not showing in Design View

    I am working with a form that has VB code for validation and need to style it with CSS. The problem is the form is not visible in Design View. The code is there, the page renders and works fine in a browser but has anyone seen this issue before? I have a similar form that uses C# and it shows up fine in Design view.
    the page is here:  http://www.housing.ucsb.edu/digiknow/digiknow_form.aspx

    Display problems are most often caused by malformed code or an imbalance in opening and closing <div> tags.  Try validating your code and fix reported errors.

  • Changes not appearing in Design View

    I am just starting out in DW5.5 and I have been using a good tutorial but I have run into some buggy behavior. For example I have inserted a CSS style rule but the changes I am making (e.g., box height, color) -- though they appear in the coding view and in the Properties panel -- are not showing up in Design View. I have tried saving, quitting and then restarting but that didn't work. The "refresh" button is grayed out.
    Any ideas?
    thanks.

    Some things to check:
    You are working in a Defined Site, right?  Sites > Manage Sites > New Site >...
    Have you saved your CSS and HTML files?
    Are you working with Valid Code?

  • DW8 text not visible in design view

    I have imported a site from DWMX(6?) to DW8.
    In DWMX everything is visible in design view.
    In DW8 the text is NOT visible in design view unless I switch off rendering using CSS (Display Styles Off), but displays fine in a browser.
    If I switch off rendering using CSS I can see and edit the text but it is not remotely WYSIWYG
    The pages are created from templates and were originally created using DW4 or DW3.
    The site URL is http://www.decisionmodels.com/
    There has to be a simple solution to this but I just cant find it.

    font verdana { font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; }
    I changed the font from default because one of the old fixes I found for Dreamweaver suggested that...  I could change it back.
    You are aware that this is not a legitimate CSS selector, right?
    Forgive my ignorance, but what does this mean?  Does it refer to my font selection?  Or something else?
    It means that your selector "font verdana" is not a legal selector.  It says to find all "verdana" tags that are descendents of a font tag.  Clearly there is no valid HTML tag called "verdana".  If it was your intention to create a rule that would allow you to format text as verdana, or geneva or sans-serif, then that would have to be done with a CLASS selector, e.g.,
    .font_verdana { font-family: verdana, geneva, sans-serif; }
    Note the leading 'dot' and the underscore - spaces are not allowed in selector names.

  • Lists not showing in Design view

    If I preview page in browser, I can see the bulleted list,
    but it is not visibile in design view, pretty annoying. Anyone know
    why this might be happening? I validated my code and got no
    errors...

    Open any html page
    either type the element in code view, say h1. Hello
    it doesn't show up in Design View (It's visible in Live view however)
    Or,
    In Design View type Hello (yes, it's visible!)
    Highlight Hello, then right click (I use a 2 button mouse)  select from the pop-up menu and format the hello as h1. Hello
    It disappears from the design view... (yes, it's visible in Live View)
    Menu spry's and other "widgets" inserted do not display correctly in Design View, but display Okay in Live view
    (This behaviour did not happen in CS4)

  • SSI do not appear in design view; CS4

    All of a sudden..  my ssi's do not appear in design view in CS4.  This is occuring in multiple web sites that prevously DID display SSI's
    Yes..  I do have  Preverances --> Invisible Elements -->  Server Sides Includes: Show contents of  include file IS checked
    Yes..  I have checked both the local and remote information in Site definitions .. all are correct. (and none have changed since the problem emerged) All sites are set to site root relative.
    Yes..  I have checked each include. None has any doc type, html or body tags.
    No.. LIve View is not turned on
    Yes.. the pages all validate
    Yes.. I have tried to 'start from scratch' .. new site, new site definitions.. new .shtml pages and new includes. No love!
    After inserting a new SSI using the insert menu  (typical code result: <!--#include virtual="/redesign/includes/quickClicks.htm" -->) the properties bar seems to get stuck .. displaying the ssi code and not allowing me to select other elements on the page to edit properties.  A restart of Dreamweaver solves the problem.  But boy is this annoying.
    All of the includes do display properly when uploaded to the web server and viewed in a browser.
    I've searched the forum..  and read any post that seemed even remotely relavant and have not been able to solve the problem.
    I would really appreciate your help.  I am a web designer and have used Dreamweaver for many, many years.

    Nice site.  I drive by that school quite often when I shop in Thousand Oaks.
    Crashes, installation, JavaScript errors, and unexplained problems
    If Dreamweaver is acting erratically, or if you see a message saying "the following JavaScript error(s) occurred",  it's usually a sign of a corrupt cache file. The first thing to try should always be to delete the file cache. If that doesn't work, delete your personal Configuration folder. Full instructions are in Deleting a corrupted cache file.

  • Heading elements do not appear in design view

    Hello,
    heading (h1, h2 ...) elements do not appear in design view. anybody know how to fix this?
    btw seems like DW gets worse with each successive version.

    I really don't have any troubleshooting advice because I can't reproduce the problem and have not seen this problem being raised previously in the forums.
    If you have deleted the personal config file and cache and that hasn't helped, it may be time to uninstall and reinstall. 
    Also double check your computer for any viruses or malware etc.,
    Depending on what version you are using then, you may want to run the uninstall scripts to make sure you remove *all* files associated with the software and start from scratch.
    If you are having problems with Creative Suite 3, I would suggest using the CS3Clean script: http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cs3clean.html
    There is a different version for Creative Suite 4: http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/cs4clean.html.
    WARNING: The CS3Clean and CS4Clean scripts remove from your computer EVERYTHING related with the CS3 and CS4 suites, apart from any documents that you have created using Adobe programs. Make sure you have your installation disks and serial numbers available for reinstallation.
    If all else fails, then you may need to contact Adobe Technical Support.

  • XSLT Mapper file does not open in design view

    XSLT mapper file in the composites exported from weblogic EM as a jar and imported in JDeveloper 11.1.14 does not open in design view. There is no option of design view itself in the tab structure. It is viewable only in source view.
    Please suggest, how do I view the desgn view of the xslt mapper?
    Thanks,
    Promiit

    When you export composites from Weblogic EM in jar format, the resulting files are differently formatted from what was used for deployment.
    So, basically, the XSLT file, you are trying to open in Jdeveloper has lost the "mapSources" and "mapTargets" sections, which are generally present in the header section of the jdeveloper-generated XSLT file. Try to manually hand-crack those sections and you should be good to go.
    Hope it helps !

  • Can I include both CSS and HTML codes in one Open HTML Editor.

    Somehow Cell phones are not properly reading css codes. Is there any way to include both CSS and HTML codes in one Open HTML Editor?

    Hammad, their code is fairly mobile friendly.  Per my other discussion with you ( http://topliners.eloqua.com/thread/8532 ), Eloqua's code is responsive for the most part.  Most of their issues lie with the styling of the email where you will get different fonts and different sized fonts throughout the email and some other minor display issues.
    What you are trying to accomplish is extremely difficult to do because you do not have the access to the HTML to better control how the responsive template works which is why the Eloqua templates (and most ESP templates) stick to the more basic side of emails.
    If you want to use Eloqua's WYSIWYG to make their responsive email you can do so, but I would recommend deleting all their body text before editing anything because of the inconsistencies in their code.  Otherwise, I think you would be better off coding the emails outside of Eloqua using a 3rd party editor whether it's something more robust like Dreamweaver or Coda, or whether you feel comfortable working in a more text environment with programs like Notepad++ or Brackets.
    At the end of the day remember you are paying Eloqua for these and if you choose to stick with the WYSIWYG and you are not getting the results you expect you need to tell Eloqua through your support channels.

  • SSI includes do not display in design view.

    Hi,
    I am working on an existing site. By "existing", I mean there
    was no Dreamweaver site definition. I created the site definition
    but, when I open pages that use ssi, the included files do not show
    in design view. If I reinsert the include, it show in design view.
    The code is the same in code view. Is there some way to update the
    includes so I don't have to reinsert them?
    Thank you,
    Henry

    By "header/footer" tags, Ken means "<html>,
    <head>, or <body>" tags - you
    have none of those in your files being included, do you?

  • PhpBB2 source code does not show in design view /CS3

    I would like to customize a php bulletin board.
    The default bulletin board page does not show in design view.
    Is there a way to do it , such that php code can be written
    by DreamWeaver via the design view ?

    > The files I am trying to edit, or that is think I should
    be trying to edit ,
    > are
    > index.php , and in the includes file template.php
    If I am sorting this out correctly, which i am _not_ sure of
    at the moment:
    those aren't .tpl files.
    they are .php files, and are part of the forum. They aren't
    displaying in
    design view because they are all php.
    You need to find and edit the template files.
    In previous link given:
    http://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopic.php?t=10764
    <q>
    So where do I find these great 'templates'?
    Look in /templates/subSilver (thoroughout the FAQ I will be
    using subSilver,
    the default template. If you are using a different template
    then change the
    folder you look in accordingly). You will see a collection of
    files there.
    The templates are the ones with the file extension '.tpl' The
    majority of
    files in that folder are .tpl files. </q>
    strongly suggest you make a backup copy of anything you try
    to touch.

  • What level CSS and HTML for Dreamweaver CS5 (Vers 11.0)

    What level CSS and HTML for DW CS5?

    CS5 does not support HTML5 in this sense -
    1. It will not automatically start a new document with an HTML5 doctype (you can force it to do this - if you are interested I can tell you how), but you can always just replace what CS5 writes with an HTML5 snippet.
    2. It will not show any of the new HTML5 tags in any of your menus (or in code hints) - if you want to do HTML5 you are on your own with manual coding.
    The same is true with CSS - if you want to do any of the advanced CSS styles (like animation, gradients, rounded corners, shadows, etc.) you are on your own.

Maybe you are looking for
