CSS code hinting

In FB 2.0.1 The CSS editor seems quite weak. I finally
learned to get a hint in some places by pressing cntrl-space. This
will get you the things that can be set such as font-family. You
then have to type the colon yourself. I can't seem to get any hints
of what the values on the right of the colon should be. What am I
missing? The CSS editor in Dreamweaver is much better. I have some
vague memory of things being better in 2.0. When you look in
preferences there is no sign of the CSS editor.

Forgive me for saying this but some people don't seem to realize that CC 2014 is not an upgrade to CC. In fact, it's a separate installation of DW. Does code hinting work in CC13 but not in CC14?

DreamWeaver CS4 CSS code hints not working

Please help.
DreamWeaver has stopped showing code hints for CSS selector values. When I start typing "… div {border: …" DreamWeaver used to show the possible value for this selector (i.e. 1px solid #ccc). Now all that pops up is this "… 'border-width' 'border-style' 'color' …"
How can I get DreamWeaver to show the possible values for CSS? I'm running DreamWeaver CS4 on a Mac book pro with Snow Leopard. DreamWeaver was set up using the default settings, and there are no extensions enabled.
The attached screen shots show what I am experincing.
Thanks,

Wow... you waited all of 2 hours...

CSS Code Hints in CS3

I'm new to DW (CS3). I'm making an external CSS and when I
press return to get a new line I get a code hint that pops up to
select which attribute I might want next. I find if I click on an
item in the list it is not entered for me.
If I use the arrow keys and press return/enter it accepts it
an enters it for me.
Is this how it is supposed to work? That seems like an error
to me.

As you type the hint zeros in on the rule that you want (or
you can use the
up and down keyboard arrows to select the rule that you want)
Once the
desired rule is highlighted pressing the Enter key on your
keyboard will
place the rule in your stylesheet.

CSS Code Hints

I use Dreamweaver 8 at work and at home. The exact same
version. However at work, when I type:
background:[space]
I get a Code Hint popup, allowing me to pick a color, URL, or
several background options. Well at home, it works the same,
however if i continue, like this:
background: #FFFFFF[space]
at work, I get the same popup again, but at home, it doesn't
pop it up a second time. Same for borders and other shorthand
items. I found an option in the Preferences called CSS Styles, and
I checked all those boxes, but I think that just made matters worse
and did not resolve my problem. I just checked and those options
aren't even selected on my work computer. So what's different that
would cause those code-hints not to pop up at home. Could it be a
plug-in (or extension). This copy at work is a very new install,
but mine at home is rather old. Any ideas?

Maybe you misunderstood. I'm not having a problem writing in
shorthand, my problem is if I try to add more than one attribute to
property of a given style. For instance:
.style {
background: url(img/bg.jpg) repeat-y top center #EEEEEE;
as opposed to
.style {
background-color: #EEEEEE;
background-image: url(img/bg.jpg);
background-repeat: repeat-y;
background-position: top center;
See, if i use each of those attributes, the dialog comes up
fine, but when using shorthand, it's supposed to come up with all
the available options, like:
COLOR, -> Opens the Color Picker
URL, - > Opens the Browse Dialog
no-repeat, -> (option for background-repeat)
repeat-x, -> (option for background-repeat)
none, -> (option for background)
transparent, -> (option for background)
top, -> (option for background-position)
left, -> (option for background-position)
etc.
Also, CTRL + SPACE only pulls up tags, not attributes.

CSS Code Hints - how to bring up?

Hi,
In CSS when you return you get Code Hints. Is there any way to bring them back up, if for instance, you've accidentally closed the Hint.
I usually go back and do another return but there must be a better way? I've tried Command-Space etc.
Thanks in advance.

Css code hints, where are you?

I'm new to dw 8; doing a tutorial, which says this: Type body

Margin from the code hint list.
Preferences are set for them to display them, but no list
shows. Help!

Code hint options are suddenly duplicated

I have recently noticed that the CSS code hints in my Dreamweaver CS5 are duplicated. For example, editing a css specification, type "pad" and the dropdown list contains:
padding
padding
padding-bottom
padding-bottom
padding-left
padding-left
padding-right
padding-right
padding-top
padding-top
It is as if it's loading the library twice, but I can't locate where the duplication may be coming from.

At last this was Server certification issue ... Not TB problem
Thanks anyway

Code hints for id's and classes, already used in CSS

Often when writing CSS I have to repeat #idnames and .classnames again and again, because I tend to write like this:
#myelement {}
#myelement .inner {}
#myelement .inner .subdiv {}
#myelement .inner .subdiv ul li {}
#myelement .inner .subdiv ul li a {}
#myelement .inner .subdiv ul li a:hover {}
Is there a code completion for already used id's and classes in the CSS CodeView in Dreamweaver?
I know the HTML Codeview give you hints for id's and classes from the CSS, but I want hints for id's and classes inside the CSS View.
I know this from Aptana and it is really handy so I've just wondered.
Thanks for answers.

CSS editor code hinting problem

I have installed ColdFusion Builder (trial version) togeter with Flash Builder, and I experience that code hinting in the CSS editor does not work. If I edit the CSS file, the changes is not updated when I change to browser view. (It works when I usen an external browser). I have tried to install CFB onto a existing Flash Builder standalone, and also tried to Install Flash Builder and CFB onto an Eclipse Helios installation. The CSS editor does not work in any case.
Somebode have a solution to this problem? I have been in contact with another person that have the same problem. He have solved it temporarily by installing Flash Builder and CFB in two seperate stand alone intsallations.

Hi Stefan,
Thanks a lot for your help!
It works also for me....strange as I didn't find the way to chnage it back to the old way. Probable I have to get use to the new way, however space was more convinient than tab.
Best regards,

Ctrl + Spacebar will not bring up code hints either

I'm using Windows XP CS3 with Dreamweaver from Creative Suite CS4. I cannot get code hints (when enabled) or when I press Ctrl + Spacebar.
When I press Ctrl + Spacebar nothing happens.

Take a look at:

Flash Builder 4 - Feature Request: Code Hints Tabs/Filter

TO: Adobe Flash Builder 4 Development Team
It would be really cool if you gave us the ability to filter out by Events, CSS/Styles, Effects... through the use of tabs.
Example. I pull up Code Hints and want to see all available Effects that I can apply an animation to so I click on Effects tab at the top and all of the code hints filter to show me just Effects to get back I simply click an All tab.

You can already do this in Flash Builder 4 with code hints cycling. With the code hint popup already open, press CTRL+Space to cycle through filtered sets of tags/attributes:
Tags:
Recommended
All
Properties
Events
Effects
Styles
Attirubtes:
Properties
Events
Effects

Sass scss code coloring and code hinting

Cannot get Dreamweaver to treat .scss files as style sheets with CSS code coloring and code hinting?
Have tried editing the MMDocumentTypes.xml file located in the /Applications/Adobe Dreamweaver CS5.5/Configuration/DocumentTypes folder, as recommended by other users having this issue. Still no code coloring or code hinting. I suspect there may be multiple MMDocumentTypes.xml files and I need to find the correct one?
O.S.: OSX Mavericks
Dreamweaver: CS5.5

It sounds like DW does not recognize the file type of your

the file extension?

I wouldn't be surprised at anything in DMX, honestly. If you
are doing alot
of CSS work, you should be in DW8 anyhow. Is there any chance
you can
upgrade?

Extending Code Hints

Hey all,
I don't know if this is a stupid query or not. We work extensively with PHP and as such find ourselves using the code hinting to a reasonable level. What I have found frustrating though is that we have an extensive library of functions that we have created that I cannot see when using code hinting (at this stage anyway).
Does anyone know if there is a switch or some extension of the Dreamweaver intellisense which will allow it to intelligently scan our PHP files for functions that should be listed in the code hints?
Dreamweaver already extends with CSS so I'm guessing it's possible but I just can't work our where or how.
Any help would be appreciated.

Don't know if this is exactly what you want but try the - PHPCode5 extension from the Adobe exchange.
