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.

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 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?

Css code hints, where are you?

I'm new to dw 8; doing a tutorial, which says this: Type body
{ . As you begin typing, the code hints appear, and this: Select
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

Mark css code in a .php file

I changed my css file extension to php (so that I could
change css properties based on user preferences through php)
Now, DW doesn't mark/highlight my css code.
How can I explicitly tell DW to mark css code in a .php file?
Failing that, is it possible to change css properties in a
.css file dynamically on the server?

I don't think you can.

I find the most practical approach is to use PHP to control
which
stylesheet is linked to the page:
<?php
if (isset($_SESSION['css']) && $_SESSION['css'] ==
'pink') {
?>
<link href="pink.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"
/>
<?php
elseif (isset($_SESSION['css']) && $_SESSION['css']
== 'blue') {
?>
<link href="blue.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"
/>
<?php
else {
?>
<link href="default.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"
/>
<?php } ?>

How can I convert my css code into table format?

Wasn't sure how to word the title, but what I am trying to do is post my html code generated with Dreamweaver CS4 into craigslist for an advertisement I designed. Craigslist seems to only accept "TABLE FORMAT". I just learned enough to design this AD using css, now do I have to go back and learn table cell coding? Is there something I am not aware of like a conversion or something that will work?
Thank you very much for any help, I am very anxious to get my ad placed.

Example of the accepted code:
<table border="0" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0" width="100%" id="table4" align="center">
<tr><td width="125">Contact Name:</td><td>Patrick</td></tr>
You must have an old HTML editor because that isn't INLINE CSS CODE. It's deprecated HTML code. It might work OK on Craig's List... but tags won't pass W3C validation in XHTML doc types.
To express what you have above using inline CSS styles without tables would like this:

How do I cut and paste text in css code in dw cc?

How do I cut and paste text in css code in dw cc? I only licensed it a few days ago, it worked fine in trial! Thanks...

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:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Dreamweaver/10.0_Using/WSc78c5058ca073340dcda9110b1f693f21-7bd 7a.html
check near the bottom: Code hinting and syntax errors
Hope this helps :-)

How to use css code?

Hi, my name alper,
I want to design a web page for my girlfriend. The CSS code to do with them, but I have no knowledge about how much information will be used. please I can do with the edge you please assign a mail program code using Turkish...

You can do this with Edge Code/Brackets but the web design bit is a bit beyond these forums. I'd suggest checking out something like this course - HTML/CSS: Making webpages | Computer programming | Khan Academy - on Khan Academy to get started.

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.

Hello Susan;
I don't know if this helps, but I was having code hint issues also, here is the link to the discussion.

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,
Peter

Code hinting with objects? how do they do it?

Hello,
I am working with Flex Builder and it has a nice code completion and code hint option in it.
If i use the Tweener class you get code hinting of an object.
Example : Tweener.addTween( { x:100, time:1, transition: "easeOutQuad"} );
Now within the brackets (object) you also get code hinting. I was wondering how to do this too?
Do i need to make a new public object?
public var myObj:Object = new Object();
public var myObj.time = 4;
public var myObj.xPos = 20;
MyCustomClass.customFunction( { ..the myObj properties.. });
Regards,
Chris

thanks for the reply! I did not know with the param options.
That is very nice! And i understand now how it works. The only thing i was wondering is, that
you can see what to enter with param for a function. But not within an object.
For example the caurina tweener.
Tweener.addTween( yourmovie, { x:100, there is no hinting or knowing what properties can be set here ..... } );
function doSomething(argument1:Boolean = true, myNumber:Number = 24):void {
doSomething( ..in here you get always code hinting because it are params, { but not in an object ? } );
Regards,
Chris.
