CSS properties panel - odd problem

Recently the CSS properties panel has suddenly changed and
won't operate or display the way it's supposed to. The CSS Styles
panel is open. I've got the layout set to "Show only set
properties". When I choose a selector the properties show up below
it, however the "Add property" link is gone and there are no labels
for each property.
I've never seen this before and I can't find any option to
switch it back, in case I changed the layout by accident. Has
anyone any knowledge of this? Did I do something to change the
layout?
Thanks for any assistance.
Jeff

I am having the same problem. I even reinstalled Dreamweaver
but it didn't help. Any ideas?
Thank you.

  • Character Styles in CSS Properties Panel are not correct

    I am using Adobe Illustator CC.
    I am trying to export all of the charter styles as CSS. However the CSS panel is not generating the correct style.
    Right now, in the Character Styles Panel and CSS Properties Panel I have 3 styles (Default, h1, h2)
    This is how they are defined in the Character Styles Panel:
    1. [Normal Character Style]:Helvectic Neue LT Std, 55 Roman, 16px
    2. h1: Helvectic Neue LT Std, 25 Ultra Light, 35px
    3. h2: Helvectic Neue LT Std, 45 Light, 18px
    HOWEVER
    When I go to the CSS Properties panel the code is not showing the Font Style:
    This is how they are defined in the CSS Properties Panel:
    1. [Normal Character Style]:
    .NormalCharacterStyle
      font-family : Helvetica Neue LT Std;
      font-size : 16px;
      color : #19131F;
      color : rgb(25, 19, 31);
    2. h1:
    .h1
      font-family : Helvetica Neue LT Std;
      font-size : 35px;
      letter-spacing : 0.53px;
      color : #FFFFFF;
      color : rgb(255, 255, 255);
    Missing:  25 Ultra Light
    3. h2:
    .h2
      font-family : Helvetica Neue LT Std;
      font-size : 18px;
      text-transform : uppercase;
      color : #FCFCFC;
      color : rgb(252, 252, 252);
    Missing:  45 Light
    Am I not doing somethign correctly? Is it a problem with my font or with Illustrator?
    Also, in case it makes a difference, I only have the default paragraph style defined. It's style is; Helvectic Neue LT Std, 55 Roman
    Thanks!

    CSS cannot render typographical multiple weight fonts simply because that's just not how it works. All CSS does is reference a physical font file and its properties and while it's possible to use the font-weight and font-style attributes to make standard fonts lighter or bolder it does not compare to anything you would do with the font in a real design environment. That and of course you still need to define fallback/ substitution options - the Helvetica Neue you are referencing is exclusively available on Apple systems only and even if what you are trying worked off the bat, it would be useless on alternate devices that have no access to the font.

  • Css properties panel won't allow changes

    Every time I try to make a change within the CSS Properties Panel, everything disappears and will not work. I have brought this to my teachers attention, and he says I have done everything correctly, so I am completely unaware of what the issue is. On top of this, it seems like DW CC has had quite a number of problems, including it quitting itself and not being able to restart. Any help would be appreciated!

    Run the validators anyway, "missing apostrophe syndrome" hits the best of us. I'm not saying your professor missed something, but it's possible.
    If the code comes up clean, it may be time to move onto some general catch all troubleshooting steps...

  • Fireworks CSS Properties panel shorthand

    Hi is where any way insted of:
    font-family:"Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
    font-size:16px;
    line-height:140%;
    color:rgb(168,168,169);
    text-align:left;
    to have:
    color: #A8A8A9;
    font: 16px/1.4 "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
    and same shorthand for everything else. Is where any way to edit CSS Properties panel?
    P.S. I was trying http://mattstow.com/css-professionalzr.html , but in most cases its not working.

    Without doing a lot research into this, I'm not sure what to suggest. I think you're on the right track by trying a tool like Matt's CSS Professionalzr. Have you tried giving him feedback on what's not working? (I do see that it's version 0.4, so it could still be a work in progress.)
    Within the CSS Properties panel itself, I don't see any shorthand options. I know the panel was introduced as an add-on to CS5, so it's still a relatively new feature.
    I don't know if Dreamweaver might be helpful to you here. It has options for writing CSS shorthand.
    Perhaps there's a way to "wash" the Fireworks code output in Dreamweaver by resaving or editing the CSS file or something. If not, I'd do a Google search for some kind of tool that's oriented towards "CSS shorthand". There might be a converter out there.

  • Why the css properties panel it doesn't open?

    The css properties panel in my trial version of Fireworks CS6, it doesn't open. May this be due to some limitations in trial version (which I wasn't aware of)?
    Thank in advance

    You scroll the camera icon up, not tap it.

  • Having trouble with CSS Properties panel

    copying all from a button (example). Many properties such as gradient don't always seem to be shown in the properties and therefor not carried across to the external (DW) page?  What am I doing wrong? No problem modifying CSS but shouldn't it be there?
    In fact if I don't put in a border to the button only the dimensions seem to be there?

    The .tif file format isn't generally recommended for web use; it's intended more for print. Historically, some browsers haven't supported the format, if I recall correctly, though many of them may do so now. (Just checked Firefox and Safari, and both seem to display the format just fine.)
    It could be that Dreamweaver doesn't recognize the .tif format. (I'm a little lazy to test this theory at the moment, but it seems quite likely.) Here's one rather old thread on this topic: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/26977
    Incidentally, this is straying from the topic of your original post and would have been better posted as a new discussion.

  • Properties disappear in CSS Designer panel intermittently

    I am experiencing the properties for a CSS rule dissaperaing intermitantly from the CSS Designer Panel but not reappearing  in CC since the latest update. The only way I have been ableto fix this has been to quit DW and re open. Sometimes happens 3 to 4 times in a row then maybe not for days. I am using fluid grids for this project. Has any one else experinced this and is there a fix.
    Very anoying bug - seems the last update created more than it fixed

    The link to the latest page this is causing a problem on is...
    http://www.branchingoutcairns.com.au/services.html
    .....there are others from other projects which leads me to believe it is a DW bug but have a look you might pick up something for which I would be grateful
    The issue comes around when ever you try to alter padding or margin or corner radius and not all the time - as I said could happen forur times in a row or not for days

  • Properties Panel Problem

    Greetings,
    I just installed PSE 10.0 over PSE9, and I have a new problem: the Properties Panel doesn't remember its location. It's docked in the Task Pane. When I close the Organizer and then reopen it, the Properties Panel is in it's previous location, and not the location that I've moved it to.
    How can I get PSE10 to remember the location of the Properties Panel?
    I'm using Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64-bit.
    Thanks,
    Shane.

    You need to click on the "Undock" icon, then the location of the Propertied panel will persist between sessions:

  • Properties panel missing things in css mode (CS4)

    Hi - I'm doing a tutorial in css with a Dreamweaver CS4 pre-designed layout. I want to make a nav bar by using an unordered list and hyperlinking the words in the list.
    My properties panel (bottom of the window) in css mode does not show a box for links or a gizmo for making lists, indents, etc.Shouldn't those be available?
    Do I have to use the menus at the top? Do I switch to <>HTML to get the features that are missing in css mode?
    Insights would be appreciated.
    Thank you.

    They are when you click on the HTML button on the Property inspector.

  • CSS in Properties Panel is blacked out.

    Some of my CSS rules are blacked out (highlighted in black) in my Properties Panel.
    Does this mean there is something wrong with the CSS in my site?
    Any ideas or explanation would be appreciated.
    I am using DW CS6 on a Mac Book Pro Retina 15,  OS 10.9.5
    Thanks,

    Is it not showing you an example of the CSS style? So instead of being blacked out, it is showing you what it looks like.

  • Symbol Properties panel not updating or refreshing

    Y'all,
    I'm running FW CS5 under Windows 7 Pro (64-bit), and my Symbol Properties panel has stopped updating when I select a symbol to modify. I have to close and re-open the Symbol Properties panel to force it to refresh.
    If I have the panel open and select a symbol on the page, the panel remains blank.
    If I have edited a symbol then deselected it, that symbol's properties remain visible in the Symbol Properties panel after the symbol is deselected.
    If I have edited a symbol then select another symbol, the first symbol's properties remain visible in the panel and it does not update to show the properties of the newly selected symbol.
    In all cases I must close and re-open the Symbol properties panel to force it to refresh and update.
    I've also noticed two other peculiar refresh problems lately - when the rulers are visible and I either zoom in / zoom out on the document or change the application window size, the top ruler often vanishes. I have to minimize then maximize the Fireworks application window to force a refresh and get the rulers to re-appear.
    Finally, the little document info boxes at the lower right corner of the canvas showing document size and zoom level often go blank or vanish when I either zoom in / zoom out on the document or change the application window size. I have to minimize then maximize the Fireworks application window to force a refresh and get the info boxes to re-appear.
    It seems that the problem may be related to some larger Fireworks screen refresh problem. It did not behave this way when first installed - it began happening recently, and the only thing that has changed was a minor update to all of the CS5 design tools (including FW) about the way that image metadata is handled.
    Is anyone else experiencing odd refresh errors? Is it possible that an extension could cause this?
    Any help and advice would be appreciated, because it has become really cumbersome to use component symbols.
    Thanks,
    Dave

    After digging around and looking at what has been updated or installed on my computer since these weird refresh problems began, I may have identified a possible cause.
    Adobe installs the Java runtime with the Creative Suite (I'm not sure why, but it's there), and a few weeks ago the 1.6.20 update installed itself, but it failed multiple times before installing, then Windows 7 informed me that a component was improperly installed with the incorrect privileges. Last night the 1.6.21 update installed itself without any errors, and this morning Fireworks seems to be working normally again.
    I'll keep monitoring FW for weird refresh problems, and if they return I'll post an update. It is possible that the 1.6.20 update broke something that was fixed by the 1.6.21 update.
    Can anyone tell me why the CS programs require Java and what it is used for?
    Thanks,
    Dave

  • Properties Panel won't refresh (Dw CS6) - Help?!

    I have recently upgraded to CS6 (Creative Cloud) and am experiencing problems with DW. Namely the properties panel will not refresh when I select a given tag/element.
    Does anyone know if that is a settings issue or a bug? If settings then what can I do to make sure the properties panel updates to reflect the selected tag/element?
    Thanks!

    Which properties panel?  CSS, HTML, something else?

  • CSS Properties - Show Set Greyed/Grayed Out

    I bought the book from Adobe Dreamweaver CC and am on chapter 3 about CSS. The tutorial advises at one point to click "Show Set" on. However, on my Mac 10.8.x system the check box is greyed out. Can't toggle on or off.
    Anyone know where the problem may be?
    CSS Designer>Properties
    Thanks,
    David in Texas...

    Hi David,
    The show set checkbox is enabled only if a selector is seected .
    i.e : When you inspect i.e click a particular element in the Design Surface the CSS Designer panel would display the Computed list of properties. Notice that the Show set box would be grayed out here , because the properties dispalyed are the computed ones and do not belog to a particular selector.
    When you click on any selector in the Selectors pane , the Show set checkbox will get enabled. Jsut make sure you are not seeing the computed list of properties to have the Show Set checkbox enabled.
    Let me know if this helps..

  • Can I turn off the Properties Panel in Photoshop CC?

    Every
    Single
    Time
    I draw a line or a shape or do almost anything it seems in PSCC, the Properties Panel jumps out. Quite rudely, it blocks the upper right of whatever I am working on. Yes, I can simply close it, but it interrupts my workflow, and it pops out constantly. This definitely did not happen in CS6 or any previous version of PS or even in the first version of PS in Creative Cloud.
    I haven't yet come across anywhere that will let me deactivate that automatic pop-out...I was hoping someone else had found it already. I would greatly appreciate some assistance!
    Thanks!!

    You 'instruct' me; I 'should' ... Imperatives, and yet it's me who has the 'attitude'.
    Your point regarding dates on the implementation is noted - apologies to those attempting to find a viable work-around with what they had available to them - but subsequent advice to deal with this by buying an extra monitor makes multiple presumptions.
    Thanks once again for your opinion on what I should do, but I came to the Adobe forum for an answer regarding an Adobe issue, by definition precisely the right place. Not to be given commands as to how I should work or spend my money by a complete stranger. There's very little helpful about the latter two points, irrespective of how you choose to define them.
    To restate my thanks:
    Thank you to Jorge and qerhqrhbwdbs for advice on how to actually deal with the problem.
    I've got more pressing things on the agenda than bickering about this, Noel, I presume you have too.
