CSS Changes not showing in Design View

I'm just coming over from GoLive (and their layout grid) so
I'm not entirely familiar with DreamWeaver CS3 and CSS.
However, whenever I make changes in a CSS sheet (and save
them) they are not immediately rendered in the Design View. They
show up just fine if I "Preview in Browser" though. I can even
close the html page and reopen it and sometimes they will show up,
but not usually. Oh, and the "Refresh Design View" button is greyed
out and doesn't do anything.
Thanks,
Dan

Yes, that seems to be the case. I ran a validation check on
the html page (it was coded in XHTML 1.0 strict) and came up with 2
errors related to the CSS features I was trying to use.
Thanks!

CSS is not showing in design view

Hello, I wonder if anyone can help. I would appreciate very
much if you can... I have read all the css related problems, but
did not see the problem I am having.
Anyway, I have done a website template for someone and I gave
it to him to update the contents. However, on his dreamweaver
Design view, the css does not support it at all so it looks all
messy. Though when he preview it on IE, this is all fine. I have
made templates and css files with dreamweaver and I can view
everything fine. He seems to have the same version of DW (MX 2004)
so I am not sure how this happens. We were looking in everything
(including goofy css as someone says on this forum), but have no
luck so far. Here is my link and I pasted my css here.

Many thanks for this.

Problem with Css styles not showing in live view or when i browse

I am using Mac osx 10.6 and building website with Dreamweaver CS5. Sometimes div tags i create not showing styles or rendering in live view or when I browse but showing in design view. I looked in dreamwever faq and they talk about not showing in design view to toggle the display styles. That is not the problem becuase it is check marked and I tried turning off and turning on and made no difference.I am using firefox browser.
It happened before the other day too. But all of my other pages in this site that i have created the same way building with div tags and css styles. So not sure what the problem is. Maybe someone has a suggestion here.

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.

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.

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)

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.

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?

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

Small images not showing in design view

Desperate for help! I've been trying to diagnose this for a
long time. For some strange reason, images that used to show up in
my design view are now displaying the 'missing image' icon. I've
narrowed it down to this--if the image is less than 8px high, the
image will not display. When I increase it to 8px or more high
(width does not have any bearing on it), the image is displayed.
Same exact image name, same placement, path, file type, etc. The
only variable changed is the image height. Someone please tell me
what is going on. By the way, this just started to happen. These
small images were displaying fine up until yesterday.

You have two id="header" elements on the page....
I can see both the 5px tall GIF and JPG images just fine in
CS4.

PHP Include not showing in design view

One of the advantages of Dreamweaver is the ability to see
the result of your code in the Design view. I am building a
template set for a web site I'm starting, and will be using the
template files in various paths and path depths. As a result, I am
not interested in using relative paths for things like PHP
includes.
If I use the following code for an include, the 'main.php'
file is included in the design view:
<?php include('/includes/templates/main.php'); ?>
When uploaded to the Apache server, this does not display
properly, because it is looking for the file in the user root, not
the Apache document root.
The portable code solutions to this would be to use the
following code:
<?php
include($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/includes/templates/main.php');
?>
This shows perfectly when uploaded to the Apache server, but
of course does not show in the Design view of Dreamweaver.
It is ridiculous to think that someone would want code one
way to see in the design view, and another for the web server, so I
am assuming that there is a way to do this so that it works both in
the desing view and on the web server.
I have had limited success using:
<?php virtual('/includes/templates/main.php'); ?>
which shows up in both the design view and on the web server.
However, I've experienced problems using virtual calls in scripts
called by the virtual command. I.e. nested inclusions. It would be
important to note that PHP's own documentation states "This
function may be used on PHP files. However, it is typically better
to use include() or require() for PHP files.", along with other
warnings.
So, basically, what I am asking for is a solution to allow
the following code to work and show the included file in the design
view:
<?php
include($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/includes/templates/main.php');
?>
Any suggestions?
BTW, I have tried setting the PHP include_path to the web
root so that the first example above would work. Doesn't work. I
have full, unrestricted access to the server, so if there is
another setting or configuration change I can make to have the
include function default to the web root, I'd love to know what it
is.

I'm not referencing dynamic output from PHP processing. I am
referencing includes. When using an include, Dreamweaver shows you
exactly what it would show you if you were looking at the included
file itself.
However, Dreamweaver makes the assumption that <?php
include('/inc/test.php'); ?> is a path located in the web server
document root. This is not the same assumption that web servers
make.
The Apache web server (at least the several that I use),
treat this same include as a request for /inc/test.php off of the
root of the server. To achieve the same include, relative to the
web document root, the include must be <?php
include($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/inc/test.php'); ?>.
Unfortunately, Dreamweaver does not understand this basic syntax
and will not show the included file in the design view.
The bottom line is that Dreamweaver could make it much
simpler to build portable code if it understood this syntax on the
include. You could take place that include in any location on your
site and it would pull the include from the proper location in both
your design view and on the web server.
Keep in mind that we establish a "document_root" when we set
up a site in Dreamweaver. The information is already there. The
handling of it just needs to be added to the include parser.

RH9 topics do not show in design view

Hi,
I am currently putting up a documentation project for my customer, but I have an issue with created topics.
My structure is as follows:
welcome topic
map
     subtopics
     map
          subtopics
          map
               subtopics
     map
          subtopics
          map
               subtopics
It's about the topic levels in bold.
Here, I create a topic. Normally, you then fill in the name in the New Topic popup window (Topic Title field), you click OK and the topic is created and opened. Well, in my case, only the topic name is created in the project manager pod, the topic is not opening. I cannot open it afterwards, either. I don't get an error message or nothing.
How is this possible?
Is it maybe because the name of the topic is too long? Or the names of the above lying maps? Is there a restriction in number of characters for topics and/or maps?
thanks
Ynske

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

PHP icon not showing in design view

I just ordered Studio 8 and currently working on the demo
version of Dreamweaver 8. I had been using FrontPage for many years
and I finally hit it's limitations. I am creating new pages from
scratch and not importing any of my older FrontPage web pages. I am
coding in PHP and noticed this nice php icon that shows in my
design view of where all my php code is. This FrontPage could never
do. I have a table that is doing multiple "include" calls. I am
able to successfully add 2 lines of code, which generates two php
icons in my design view. When I try to add a 3rd line of php code,
it removes all of the nice php icons in the design view. For the
rest of the document, if I add more code, then the icons will not
show up. The PHP is in the code view, but the design view is no
longer showing the php icon. Does anyone have any ideas on how to
make them show up permanently? This is one of many great features
of Dreamweaver that drove me to purchase it.

Thank you for the quick response. I went home and took a look
at my code. It matches pretty closely with what you offered as a
suggestion. That didn't seem to fix the issues I am having. Maybe
there is something I am missing that will stand out for you.
Here is a sample of it:
<td>Item Review 1</td>
<td><div align="center"><?php include('
http://www.mytestsite.com/review/stars_only_by_item_id_listing.php?item_id=5');
?></div>
</td>
<td><div align="center"><a href="
http://www.mytestsite.com/review/index2.php?item_id=5">
link</a></div></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Item Review 2</td>
<td><div align="center"><?php include('
http://www.mytestsite.com/review/stars_only_by_item_id_listing.php?item_id=6');
?></div></td>
Thank you for any help you can offer. This one is really
stumping me. Could it be that I am using the demo version and not
the full version?

Chinese Characters not showing in Design View

Version: DW MX 2004
I have a file I created in FrontPage and am now migrating
over to DW. Most of the language on the page is English, with a
portion of Chinese.
My Chinese characters do not show up in Design View, but when
I preview or upload the page to the server (live), they show up ok
in IE and FF. Everything worked fine in FrontPage.
Why can't I see them in Design View? I have looked in the
Help for languages, character sets, etc.

Once again, no one seems to know much about this question.
(I've noticed it's gone unanswered in previous years.)
In the Knowledgebase, I find only this: "Encoded HTML
documents created outside of Dreamweaver may not display correctly
in Dreamweaver. This includes documents that have been hand-coded
or created in another HTML editor."
This was updated in March, 2006.
Which leads me to say, bugger. I guess there's little point
in accommodating those 1.2 billion Chinese.

Why do .asp pages not show in Design view

I have been asked to take over a website
built with .asp. Originally the pages all showed perfectly and I was able to amend. However, recently some pages will only open
displaying code - not html but computer code. This is a small excerpt from one of the pages. I would so appreciate some help. I use Dreamweaver 8.

Thank you if you can throw any light on this problem

Hi,
I qoute from Adobe Help page:
If you plan to develop dynamic pages, Dreamweaver needs the services of a testing server to generate and display dynamic content while you work. ...here is the link:
