Cursor off-set from text in design view CS3

I'm a recent MacSwitcher and found that DW 8 won't run worth
a damn on my new MacBook Pro (Intel). So am using trial version of
DW CS3 and having this bit of weirdness... where I put the cursor
on the page in design view is about 1 character "off" from where it
appears to be. Is this a CS3 thing? Mac thing? Stupid user thing?
It makes editing in design view practically impossible! Never had
this in any version on Windows. Any ideas? Thanks!

ZebraDreaming,
Does the text use the CSS letter-spacing property? It's
supported on
Windows, but not the Mac.
If not, please provide a link to a page where you are seeing
the problem.
Thanks,
Randy

Even editing text in Design View is now difficult in DW CC?

Hi All,
Even editing text in Design View is now difficult in DW CC? I just upgraded.
It seems difficult - or impossible - to select, copy and paste multiple blocks of text from one place to another - unless you work in the Code View.
Text blocks are separate entities, separately edited? I can't even copy and paste an image from one file into another.
Previously, I'd regularly select an image - or a load of text - and replace it with some copied from elsewhere by 'pasting'.
I must be missing something. Perhaps there's another mode of working.
Thanks,
John

You're probably in Live View.
CC2014.1 does some strange things when it comes to Live and Design Views.
1. Design View is gone for Fluid Grid Layouts, so all editing has to be done in Code or Live View. There is a work around to get Design View back for those in Post #6 here: Editing Text and Adding Links Is Crazy in DW CC-2014.1
You can also add your voice to get it back here: Provide "Design View" for Fluid Grid Webpages
2. Design and Live Views are now a dropdown menu. Check the top left of your workspace, you should see Code | Split | Live with a small triangle next to Live. Click it to access Design View in everything but FGL pages

Effect of a mask is off-set from the mask itself. Help ...

I have a corner-pinned layer (it's a screen replacement) that a character passes in front of. I need to animate a mask so the character can pass the screen, but the effect of the mask is off-set from the mask line. It's really annoying.
It seems like the mask is set to the original layer size ... but I have to corner-pin the layer so it fits the screen I'm replacing, which makes the visible part of the layer smaller. Is there a way to make the mask perform in an "aboslute" way?
Pic attached to show how the mask is behaving ...

For anyone who's curious, this didn't really solve the problem, but it was a satisfactory work-around:
I went ahead and exported the corner-pinned, UNmasked screen replacement on its own, sitting on a transparent alpha channel. I then brought that new video layer into my composition and masked it. Since the new layer wasn't being corner pinned, the mask halted perfectly right on the visible masking line.

Why can't I drag images from Finder to Design View Dreamweaver CC?

Hey Guys,
I'm using OS X Mavericks (10.9) and Adobe DW CC
For some reason in both CC and CS6 I can no-longer drag files from Finder (Mac OS X's Explorer) into the design view ( for eg: adding images to a table cell ), the browse button doesn't work properly either... The "browse for file" button only works if there is an image already there and then it will update the image, otherwise if there's no image in the table cell it will bring up the browse dialogue box but does nothing if I select a file and press "open".
Is there a setting that was introduced in CS 6 that affects this behavior?

Hi All,
This bug has been fixed in the latest version of Dreamweaver CC 2014, which is now available for download.
Download it from https://creative.adobe.com/ or directly through the Creative Cloud desktop app.
We’re excited to hear back from you. Please share your feedback.

Text in design view is appearing as garbled gibberish?

As you'll see in the screenshot - all text is churned out as gibberish in design view.
I'm guessing this is some simple fix - but havent a clue what it is.
Am Mac Dreamweaver CS3.
Any help appreciated!

Could be corrupted fonts. Try font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, Sans-serif.

Invisible text in design view, how do I make it visible?

I cant figure out why the text in Dreamweaver is invisible,
though I can highlight it still, and see it fine in code view. I
cant make it visible in design view. I dont see css attached to the
text itself, only to the block, and other site elements, but
something in css is causing the text to be hidden and I dont know
how to make it visible. Anybody know what I should be editing or
looking to edit?
Thanks ahead of time.

It sounds like a containing element may have display:none,
and that is
altered by JavaScript in the browser. DW Design View does not
run
JavaScript, so you won't see elements like that in Design
View.
If this is the case, and you are running CS3 (I think?) or
later, go to
Preferences > Invisible Elements and make sure
display:none elements are
turned on. This will show an icon in Design View that you
can
right-click and use Element View > Full (shortcut is to
double-click) on
to temporarily see that element. Use Element View > Hidden
(or F5) to
revert to the default view.
You can also override display:none in a Design-time Style
Sheet if you
want to always see that/those elements.
HTH,
Randy

V3.0 freezes changing from source to design view

Is anyone else having this problem? I'm using v3.0 (Build 532 JDK 1.2.2) on Windows 98 with 192MB memory. I start with a new empty project. Go to file, new and add a new Frame. I pick the defaults for Class, Package and Extends and leave everything else blank. I double click on the JPanel object and it opens up the source editor. I switch to design view and add JButton1. I go to events and double click in first entry picking the default method name. This puts me in the source editor in my new event procedure. I enter the line "this.setTitle("Test"); then click on the design tab. The screen partially shows the design info then it freezes. At this point all I can do is end task. There is no signs of activity on the PC and I've waited 10-15 minutes for it to come back but it's locked up good. Any ideas?

However, I have found something which helps a lot:
- clean project (Project>Clean)
- save whole project, close it
- reopen project
- open Design view
This is much faster than just opening desing view without cleaning, saving, reopening

Can't edit in Design View (CS3)

I've been happily working between the code and design views, and all of the sudden, whenever I click on a section in the design view, it highlights the entire top-level div (<body><div#container>)and I cannot edit. I did, however, notice that the area 'outside' of my page is crosshatched white. My only workaround is to make all edits in the code view.
Did I accidentally change a setting that I am not aware of? Has anyone else had this problem?
Thanks,
SWO

It matters a great deal - a container for which overflow:hidden is in effect will be rendered as a unique block formatting context. In simple words this means that floats within that container will be cleared before closing the container.
Anyhow, if you DOUBLE click in the Design view, you will now be able to edit. You could also right click on the element, and choose ELEMENT VIEW > Full to allow editing of its content.

Design view CS3

I just installed CS3 and in design mode it is not showing any
CSS styling. I have to go to a web browser to see it. How can I
fix?

How can I fix?
1) select View>Toolbars>Style Rendering
is the first icon enabled? That will display screen media
styles. Other
icons display other media styles and/or toggle off the
rendering of
styles in design view altogether. It's easy to forget about
this toggle!
Hope that's all it is. The other possibility is that you are
using a
webroot relative path structure but your site structure isn't
the same
as the remote server.
I bet it's the first, though. Like working on your car, look
for the
easiest & cheapest solution to test first.

Design view (CS3) is completely highlighted - can't edit content

On one of the websites I have developed, when I go to Design view and click on the content I want to revise, all content and photos are highlighted, so I can't just edit one word or sentence. I have to go to Code view and search for that content in order to change it, meaning I don't have the ease of adding links in the Design view, etc. One of the web pages with this problem is: http://www.greenkarat.com/TEST_NEW/about/education.asp, which validates. The CSS is http://www.greenkarat.com/TEST_NEW/css/greenkarat.css, which also validates. Below is a screen print of the design view that doesn't allow me to edit. How can I clear this up? Thank you. P.S. If I "temporarily" remove one of the closing div tags - </div>, I can then edit in the Design view, but I need to add the div tag back in before I upload the file to the server. If the div tag is not added back in, the page does not validate

http://www.greenkarat.com/TEST_NEW/about/education.asp is a dead link (404 error).
Can you re-upload so we can see the page?

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.

Problem with type size in design view CS3

Has anyone experienced type in design view that is just too
small to read? It seems to be inconsisent -- type is speced the
same, but some of it is showing as 1 or 2 pt in my design view. Not
having this problem in DW8. Probably something that I did by
mistake, but I can't seem to "fix" it.
Your help is most appreciated

Design View doesn't process code like a brower does. It's primarily used for viewing layout.
Hence the name Design View.
You want to click on Live View while in Design View

Text Mode means that the records in the file have a carriage return marking the end of each record.
Binary Mode means the file is a string of data.
You can't read a text file in BINARY MODE, or a binary file in TEXT MODE.
If you are changing the mode, then you must be supplied with a file in the new mode.

Display Description from Text table on View Cluster

Hello All,
I have the below requirement for creating a view cluster to maintain customizing data -
V_TAB_1 has been created for table TAB_1. TAB_1has a text table associated with it.
V_TAB_2 has been created for table TAB_2. TAB_2 has a field which has foreign key relationship with the key field of table TAB_1.
I have created view cluster using above views V_TAB_1 and V_TAB_2. Now while maintain the data using view cluster, description is no visible on the UI.
First Level of Data: This maintains the data in table TAB_1 and its text table.
Now, If I select any record and click on the sub node of the view cluster - Following appears
Second Level of Data -
If we look at the data in the second screen shot, description 'Nitesh' is not coming against the reason code '1'. this is highlighted in the second screen shot
I have tried to populated with Events as well. But could not succeed. Any help would be highly appreciated.

Nitesh

Hi
I try to see the data of CSKS by SE16 and I can't see the text field (my release is 6.00) but I can see that field by SE16N, so just the situation like yours.
Probably the fields of this table are too much, because SE16 can display the text field of other tables having a text table
