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.

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • 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?

    dano

  • 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');

  • 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.

    It does that with all server-side includes, not just PHP. It

    the HTML content of includes. To see dynamic output from a
    server-side
    language, you need to use Live Data view.
    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.

  • 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.

  • 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>,

    have none of those in your files being included, do you?

  • 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.

    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:

  • 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 !!
