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.

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

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.

Code Hints Problem - CS3

I just got Flash CS3 today, I have it installed and I
uninstalled Flash 8 after I installed Flash CS3, the problem is,
code hints don't display anymore like it did before when I type
"on(" or whatever, and I really need them, they are my lifesaver.
Yes, I do have them enabled in the settings, and they just don't
show up.
Oh yeah, it doesn't show up for AS3, AS2/Flash Player 8
settings work fine.
I'm running Vista.

Here is an example of what I'm talking about. Grabs taken
while authoring an external class (.as) file in CS3.
No "method completion" hint like I would get in Studio 8:
img1
And I get all the AS3 methods and properties because there is
apparently no way to tell Flash that I want this .as file to be an
AS 2.0 class - note the lack of properties like _alpha:
img2
So, seriously, am I missing something or did Adobe just make
Flash CS3 even worse than Studio 8 for authoring AS 2.0 classes?

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 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

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.

Dreamweaver CS3 Code Hints

Has anyone experienced problems with DW CS3's code hints for
ColdFusion? I've installed the CF8 extensions, but the code hints
don't work properly in Windows XP (My Mac version works fine).
Basically, the "hints" for tags work, but only to an extent.
For example, I've found the code hints for CFWINDOW do not provide
the color picker for bgcolor in the style attribute. Funny quirks
such as that.

are you implying that the newer versions of IIS might be more up to date than the cs3 dreamweaver and that is where my problems will arise?
I am not implying anything. I am simply wondering if the IIS is configured properly. Have you tried creating a basic static page and load it in your browser to see if it loads OK?
Obviously, without looking at your code it is almost impossible to say anything meaningful. However, I suggest post your query at this link:

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

DW CS3 missing code hinting

I see this same question posted on the discussion boards and no one has a good answer; if one at all.
Control + Spacebar is not bringing up code hints.

> can anyone explain why this might be happening?
Could only be attributed to user error.
Can you give us a set of steps that causes this to happen
reliably?

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

VBScript editor with Intellisense/Code Hinting support for Adobe App

I am looking for some tool to write my InDesign VBScript files in. I would really like to know if there is any which support Intellisense/Code hinting for Adobe programs (InDesign especialy). Do you have anything to recommend?
I am quite good at hacking my computer, so no registry change etc. is a problem for me, I just can not find any. I already tried PrimalScript 2009 but it doesn not work.
What I need is that in following block of code
Set myInDesign = CreateObject("InDesign.Application.CS4")
Set myDialog = myInDesign.Dialogs.Add
I will get list of all methods/properties after I write the dot after "myInDesign" in second line. But it never worked. I even tried to put "InDesign.Application.CS4/C:\ProgramData\Adobe\InDesign\Version 6.0\cs_CZ\Scripting Support\6.0\Resources for Visual Basic.tlb" line into Options>Text editor>Type libraries.
I am using Windows Vista SP1 and I have Adobe Creative Suite CS4 installed (upgrade from CS3 which was upgraded from CS2)
Thanks a lot for any help/suggestion, as I start feeling desperate.

Hi Everyone!
As I have said, I waited for next service release, which is as of now PrimalScript 2009 version 5.0.614 and I did some testing with it.
Results:
WinXP EN Professional
- Just pointing PrimalScript 2009 to typelib, no creative suite installed, working
- Installed Creative Suite CS3 Czech (trial mode) - Working, no need to setup anything
- Installed Creative Suite CS3 + CS4 Czech (trial mode) - Need to point PrimalScript 2009 to correct typelib, then 100% working
Windows Vista SP1 Ultimate EN (in trial/not activated mode)
- Just pointing PrimalScript 2009 to typelib, no creative suite installed, working
- Installed Creative Suite CS3 Czech (trial mode) - Need to point PrimalScript 2009 to correct typelib, then 100% working
- Installed Creative Suite CS3 + CS4 Czech (trial mode) - Need to point PrimalScript 2009 to correct typelib, then 100% working
Windows 7
I am not planning to use Win7 in near future, so I did not not run any test on it.
Windows Vista SP1 Home Premium Slovak (fully activated)
- Installed Creative Suite CS3 + CS4 Czech (full mode) - Not working. This is my main machine. It is Creative Suite CS2 upgraded to CS3 then CS4 (it is running for years without reinstall). I use CS3/CS4 side by side for some older projects. There are still references to CS2 in registry. I tried pointing PrimalScript 2009 to correct typelib, but to no avail. My conclussion is that there is someting messed with its config or registry, but I am pretty sure it would run after complete system reinstall.
Both WinXP EN Pro and Vista SP1 Ultimate EN were clean install into MS Virtual PC 2007, with only Creative Suite and PrimalScript 2009 5.0.614 installed into each machine so I made sure there are no other issues involved.
As I spend 80% of my time with developement of websites and scripting of MS Office/Creative Suite, I have some virtual machines set up for testing purposes. I will use one of them for development in PrimalScript and move it to main (real) Windows Vista Home Premium Slovak installed once I will decide to completely reinstall it. The need for seting up the typelibray link is no deal for me, as it is working as expected then, and I expect a lot ;-)
So problem solved, I found o program I will use. There may be others which do better or are cheaper (but I do not know about any) but $299 is not a big issue when I get what I want.
P.S.: The solution with making VBScript code with VBA declaration (using Dim) is not a solution I like, as I would need to comment it out everytime I run/edit the script and it would be pain in the *** while debugging it as i would need to do lot of comment/uncomment cycles and i can use my ime better then doing the monkey work as some fo the scripts I write are quite huge and I prefer to build them incrementaly and test/debug a lot.
I wish to thank everyone for their help and suggestions,
Matus

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
