CSS styles not displaying in Contribute CS3

On some (but not all) of the computers at this organization, when you click "Edit" in Contribute, it doesn't show the CSS styles; in other words it displays in Times New Roman, and the top menus are spread accross the page; this means that users have to scroll way way down the page to see the content they need to edit; it also means that the page doesn't look at all like it looks in a browser.
Any ideas? Is this something to do with Internet Explorer?
Thanks for any suggestions.

Make sure the address bar in Contribute is displaying your URL and not a file path.
Your administrator can remedy this by going to the role settings and making sure the Home address is set to the URL. If you can't get the admin to update the role settings, you can enter your URL into the address bar and then the site should be able to find linked style sheets.

CSS Styles not displayed properly in design view - SOLVED (not 'Display Styles')

For several weeks, I've been troubleshooting the issue of CSS
and inline styles not being displayed properly when in Dreamweaver
CS3 design view, and checking in to the forums occassionally to see
if there was a solution other than making sure "Display Styles" was
selected under View -> Style Rendering (it was, and still
nothing would display properly!).
After much frustration, I may have found the solution to
those still experiencing the issue even after "Display Styles" is
appropriately checked. I went in to my master template for the
site, and found an erroneous <br> tag after the <link
href> for the stylesheet, which I must have inadvertantly
inserted when I added the code for the site's favicon. (You get so
used to Shift-Enter in layout mode, it's almost automatic,
regardless of what pane your in.) I can't believe I missed this
before! Deleting the erroneous tag cleaned up the whole
site.

I had the same thing happen to me. After hours of trouble
shooting I found a bit of inappropriate code left in the HTML.
Cleaned that up and all is good. Seems like it is often something
so simple. Guess that is why it is so maddening when i can't figure
it out!

CSS styles not displaying correctly in browser. CS4

I've come across a strang problem. When testing my project in a browser the CSS isn't showing at all. So, as a test, I published one of the DW preset templates (A two clm elastic jobbie) and that CSS doesn't show either.
Everything is aligned left. Boarders, gutters etc are ignored.
When I'm viewing it in design view everything looks fine.
Any ideas?

Makes no difference at all, Nancy.
OK. Just to clarify. If the HTML document isn't saved first, you're apt to get a link like this which points to the local hard drive.
<link href="file:///C|/Site-Name/Styles/Basic.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
Assuming a Local Site Folder has been properly defined, DW should resolve the link to the proper path when the page is saved.
<link href="Styles/Basic.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

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.

CSS : Website not displaying correctly in IE 7 , ok in Firefox and IE8

Hello all,
I am a newbie designing my new site with CS4. This is my first post to forum, although I have read many helpful hints while proceeding.
I will be grateful for resolving a quirky issue.
My website http://www.chezshuchi.com is not displaying correctly in IE7. IT is displaying correctly in most other browsers. The HTML validation is fine. I think there is some issue with CSS, but I am not able to find it despite spending much time. Will appreciate input.
Two images are attached. The first is the screenshot in IE 7 . The second in Firefox (IE 8 is same).

Change the embedded CSS at the head of the page in Code View as follows:

Normal Style not displaying

RH 11.0.4.
I have been using RH since 4.0 and am currently I have a RoboHelp HTML project where I am using two different style sheets. Each style sheet is associated with its own Master Page. I've done this because my client wants to eventually migrate to a new look. The 'Normal' style in both instances is mapped to a different font. I have ensured that the style sheet is attached and that all content is in the appropriate style. There is no issue with the first style sheet (and Master Page) I created. The 'new look' Master Page and Style Sheet have had random display issues with the Normal style; occasions where part of the topic displays or all content is not displaying.This is the case if I select View Selected Item from within the project and view the topic after compiling WebHelp.
I have created new Master Pages and re-assigned styles. One symptom that may help shed insight on to what is going on . . . is that when I edit a topic with the 'new look' stylesheet / Master Page and click Save All, the Headers and Footers message appears . . . This topic was created from a Master Page and the Header and Footer has been modified . . . The Master Pages have the same structure; just different font and heading styles. I have tried all I know to fix this issue. Any insight would be great. I can provide screen shots, if necessary. Thank you.
------------------------found issue-----------------------------------
Project has 2 different stylesheets (because customer wants to move to a standard template). Each stylesheet is associated with a different Master Page.
Style 'Normal' in Stylesheet #1 = Verdana; Style 'Normal' in Stylesheet #2 = Calibri.
When WebHelp is generated, any content using Stylesheet #2 and styled with 'Normal' does not appear. This issue is only in the body region of the document. I created a separate style for 'Normal' called "Normaltest.' No success.
To make the content appear, here is what I did:
1. Open the topic with issue.
2. Highlight a paragraph
3. Select Style: none
4. Change font to Calibri (font size was default to 12; which is what I needed so I didn't change)
It made no difference if I defined 'none,' in the Master Page file and changed the font to Calibri. I have confirmed that the issue does not affect Header/Footer or Number Lists (only numbers appear). Contact me if you need the subject files.

Found Workaround for Issue; but it appears 2 Stylesheets using 'Normal' is a problem

I assume you see something like this? (Ugly font to make it obvious )
This sounds like you have in-line styles applied to paragraphs. Certainly your steps 1-4 define a single paragraph to have the Calibri font, which will prevent the style from your stylesheet being applied to that paragraph.
A quick way to check is to temporarily (please take a backup, just in case) set Normal in your working stylesheet to a crazy font. If I'm right, you will see the same behaviour as you get when you change to your second stylesheet. If this is the case, you will need to look at the html for a problem paragraph and do a find and replace across your whole project.
Take a backup of your project before you start, just in case something goes wrong!!
You will probably have to replace something like the following with nothing:
font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;
In my example, this is the code. I've highlighted the section that must be removed so that the stylesheet is correctly applied:
<p><span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">MyCompany documentation
generally uses the gerund form (the "ing" form) of words for
titles and index keywords. Following is a list of the best gerunds to
use among many alternatives (e.g., use "removing" instead of
"deleting").</span> </p>
If the font size is also a problem, you may also have to remove that code, for example: font-size: 10pt;
Hope that helps.

Changes in custom.css are not displayed on iPad

Dear all,
I'm using a custom.css file in my Analysis Application.
Changes in this CSS-file are immediately shown in my design in Design Studio and when executed on the BI Platform.
However, these changes are not displayed when I run the application in SAP BusinessObjects Mobile on iPad.
Thanks for sharing your ideas,
Hans

Hi Hans,
If you make changes to your custom css file and reupload the file to your BIP and then open the report, does it help if your clear your browser's cache and reload the report again, do you see the css changes then?
So instead of restarting the APS just clear the Browser Cache. The changes will be seen only in the browser and for the user who has cleared his browser cache.
If you want to disable css caching there are different options available in general but with Design Studio only some of them can be implemented: you could configure your web server (for example Apache) to force refresh of cached data for example by setting some header parameters/values or with some other method.
(just take into notice the performance implications of such a setting: the best option would be to force the reloading of the css file only when it changes and only for files that are changed, not for all css files all the time)
There is a lot of information about overcoming caching techniques alone when you do a search on the stackoverflow site, for example this one has some good techniques:
What is an elegant way to force browsers to reload cached CSS/JS files?
Regards,
David

CSS style not correct in IE8 but correct in MF and Chrome

Hi,
I'm working with Dreamweaver CS5.5 and in more new sites I get the same problem with css styles.
I'm making a mistake but can't find it.
See http://www.a2models.nl
The next text has to be collored red.
A2Models is wegens vakantie gesloten van woensdag 21 december 2011 t/m dinsdag 03 januari 2012. U kunt in deze periode gewoon bestellingen plaatsen.
Het verwerken van bestellingen zal echter iets langer duren dan normaal.
I made a div with a class melding.
Can someone find the error?
Thanks a lot.

Index style not displaying the chosen option after publishing

Hi Folks,
I have been adding new albums to one of my web pages and had chosen the Black ringbinder Index style for the albums. After a recent publishing upgrade and visiting my site I noticed that all the albums had framework boxes with ? marks all around and did not display the chosen index style.
I went back to iWeb and chose a Brown sort of "Wedding Album" style and re-published. Everything was OK so once again back to iWeb and set them all to the Black ringbinder Index style and re-publushed.
Same problem with ? marks all around each album.
Any ideas for fixing?
Thanks

Hi there
The simplest way to specify a relative path is to avoid any browsing you may do to find whatever file you are linking to and quite simply type the file name into the dialog. Once you have done this, you simply ensure that the file is present alongside the Captivate movie so that during playback it can find the file.
I think where most folks make a mistake is when they use the dialog to browse to and choose the file they are linking to. When you do that, Captivate dutifully inserts the path leading to the file on your own hard drive. This means that the file would need to be stored the the exact location using the same drive letter on the end user's PC for things to work in the end.
Cheers... Rick

CSS Style drop down menu (contribute 3.11)

Hi,
I am having a problem viewing any styles in the styles drop
down menu at the top of my page when editing.
I am the administrator of the site and I set up the options
like this:
Administrator settings > Styles and fonts >
Document level CSS (pull down)
First 3 checkboxes checked, and show only CSS styles included
in this CSS file (browsed and selected a css file with a single
style).
Checked the remainding 3 checkboxes
No matter what I do I have not been successful in ever seeing
a style of my own within this list.
I have tried...
1) Not using a secure site
2) Allowing a different user on a different PC to attempt to
create a new page
3) Locating the stylesheet in many different locations
4) Hardcoding the styles into the template
5) Show all styles (which wouldn't work anyway since the
pages are PHP based)
6) Banging head violently against wall.
I should mention that I am using a PHP based template which
works fine apart from this styles drop down menu.
Please please please help (asap)!
Thanks,
Dan.

NEF Thumbnails not displaying in Bridge CS3

I decided to dip my toe into RAW images. However unlike jpegs and tiffs the NEF thumbnails are not rendering in Bridge CS3. However when I double-click on an unrendered thumbnail it does open normally. As seeing thumbnails would be very helpful I decided to do a software update to see if this would cure the problem. During the install process I got the following message - Installation Incomplete - The Updater is unable to locate the product to be updated - Adobe Camera Raw 4.6 Update failed to install.
Outcome - NEF thumbnails still not rendering. By the way my NEF images were produced on a Nikon D60.
Help would be appreciated. Thanks in anticipation. Victor Patterson, Ireland

CSS styles not loading on certain websites (facebook, wikipedia)

Hello,
I am running the latest ver of firefox on Windows 7
Out of nowhere certain websites such as facebook or wikipedia don't seem to load up their CSS styles. So the sites are more or less unusable.
I disabled all my plugins, restarted my laptop (its a lenovo thinkpad x220) did a CCleaner, ran a malware check, and its still happening. Javascript is enabled and I made sure page style is "Basic Page Style."
Works fine on IE.
Any ideas?

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Server Side Includes not displaying in DW CS3 design view

I have this code in my page (see below):
When I open the file in Dreamweaver MX 2004 in design view,
the page displays correctly. That is, I see the correct styles from
the style sheet contained in Head_Standard.html and the logo/menu
in Logo_TopMenu.html
When I open the page in DW CS3, I do not see the effects of
the style sheet and I do not see the logo/menu.
However, when I change the code for the first include from:
virtual="/ServerSide
to
virtual="
../../ServerSide
then the page renders correctly in Dreamweaver CS3.
My first reaction was: what?! And my question is: how do I
use a root reference inside the head and get it to display properly
in DW CS 3?

"Go to Edit > Preferences > Invisible Elements >
Server-Side Includes (Check this box) to show contents of included
file"
I already do this.
For me:
/ServerSide... does NOT work
../../ServerSide... works
So, a relative reference works and a reference to the root
does not. I have over 20 websites with root references and I need
this to work in DW9.

External CSS styles not working in Flash

I have a text area component and it loads external text files
into the area.
Works great. Now my client needs to have some simple tabular
data in there
.. 3 columns by 3 rows, one value per cell. But Flash doesn't
support table
tags in html formatting .. so I'm looking at CSS as an
option. The list tag
is supported so I'm trying to make my table cells into list
items and
display them inline with a left and right margin to simulate
a table row.
No luck so far.
Can anyone tell me if this is even possible? And if not .. is
there any way
to get this to look like what a table would look?
Thanks bunches!

Hi Ben, I ammended this line of code as you have shown and still I have no joy. So I reverted to an older version which was correct, but i am stil having the same issue.
I have a my_site folder (defined local root folder), with the index.dwt in it. In my_site there is also an assets folder with 3 further folders, CSS, JS and Images and their respective files in these.
Bregent. Thanks, I did define at set up. I went back to manage sites and checked there too and thr root file on the local is the same at set up. I just don't get why after I made changes to the carousel and and reiploaded the site I have had issues :-(
Any other places I should be looking people? This is driving me crackers!

Why is my CSS style not applied to my HTMLB page ?

Hello !
I'm using a css file to define the layout of my htmlb page... but the layout is not applied.
When I specify the layout CSS in a common html page the layout is applied but not for an htmlb page.
Could someone let me know where I'm wrong ?
EG :
My htmlb page :
<%@page language="abap" %>
<%@extension name="htmlb" prefix="htmlb" %>
<htmlb:content>
<htmlb:page title=" " >
      <html>
            <head>
            <link href="style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
            </head>
            <body>
            text1
    <htmlb:form>
        text2
    </htmlb:form>
            </body>
      </html>
</htmlb:page>
</htmlb:content>
My css file style.css :
<%@page language="abap"%>
body {
    background-color: #990000;
    font-family: Verdana;
    font-size: 32x;
    line-height: 32px;
    color: #666666;
As a result, I have a blank page (and not red) with the text "text1" and "text2" written.

This code you have is unfortunately completely bogus. It is just not going to work. Writing HTMLB tags are easy. It takes but minutes to make the magic appear in the browser. But, you have also have to understand a little about what is happening.
At a very first, I would like to recommend this link: <a href="/people/brian.mckellar/blog/2004/06/11/bsp-trouble-shooting-getting-help">Getting Help</a>. You are specifically interested in the section that shows you how to get help about specific tags.
As a next step, look at the help for the <htmlb:page> tag. It is the first important one. See how it is a collection of other <htmlb:document*> tags.
Thereafter, look at SBSPEXT_HTMLB/document.BSP for an example on how to replace the <htmlb:page> sequence in your application.
Once this is done, place you "<link ...>" sequence directly after the <htmlb:headInclude> tag that you have now on your page.
Compile, test, assign 10 points.
