Cursor will not go between divs

I have dreamweaver open in design view, it has two block
level divs. I want
to put the cursor between them to add a title to one of the
divs, but DW
will not let me do this. Arrow key, tabbing, etc just takes
me from one div
to the other. Using teh mouse to click between the divs
simply does nothing.
It seems ridiculous to me that an editor this expensive and
popular can't
even allow you to do something so basic. Does anybody know
how to overcome
this (without going in to code view, placeing the cursor in
there, and
coming back to design view) I am in 30 day trial at the
moment and can
safely say that DW is not for me if it can't let me control
where I want to
type.
Heres my code, just in case I am somehow subverting DW's
ability to perform
this simple task:
<div style="background-color:#cccccc;">
<p style="margin:3em">I am a paragraph!</p>
</div>
... SPACE IN DESIGN VIEW
In design view, I want to click and have the cursor appear
right here so I
can beging typing my title
... SPACE IN DESIGN VIEW
<div style="background-color:#cccccc;border:1px
solid;">
<p style="margin:3em">I am a paragraph!</p>
</div>

Click in the first div. Select it on the QuickTag Selector
bar. Push the
right arrow once. Your insertion point will now be between
the two divs.

    Magic Mouse cursor will not move.  Scroll works. right click works replaced batteries

    I'm so sorry but I overlooked your response in the previous post.
    I think you there are two options to try.     One;
    Reset the SMC (Systems management control)      https://support.apple.com/en-gb/HT201295 ....
    Two: You may have a problem with interference which could be from a TV set, particularly one of the new smart TVs, anything electronic you've either moved into the room or changed its position.   That could include another mouse or trackpad.
    Again, sorry.

  • Re: g6t-2000 loading circle next to cursor will not stop blinking

    I have the same problem.I got a blinking circle on my screen and every time this circle show up, i have to turn off my pc because don't let me do nothing. Any solution for that issue? My pc:HP ENVY Recline TouchSmart All in One - 27-k350 (ENERGY STAR)Número de modelo: J4W47AA

    Hi again Andieco, It is good to hear back from you! If your computer is not freezing when you are referring to a white circle, there may be an issue with the touch screen software installed on your computer. To correct this, I suggest re-installing all of the original software and hardware drivers that first came with your computer. This can be done by following the steps in this document on Using Recovery Manager to Restore Software and Drivers (Windows 8), and then update the software by Using HP Support Assistant (Windows 8). If the white cursor will not stop blinking after performing the steps in the documents above, I recommend returning your system back to a previous restore point to before the issue occurred. This can be done by following the steps in this document on Using Microsoft System Restore (Windows 8).
    Should the problem continue, I suggest performing a backup and recovery of your operating system. This can be done by following the steps in this resource on Backing Up Your Files (Windows 8), as well as Performing an HP system recovery (Windows 8). This should return your system back to factory defaults.
    If the issue persists, please call our technical support by clicking the link below to get the support number for your region.

    I hope this helps!

  • AFTER SUBJECT IS TYPED IN THE CURSOR WILL NOT LET ME WRITE THE MESSAGE

    WHEN SENDING AN E-MAIL, I CAN TYPE IN THE CONTACT PERSON AND THE SUBJECT, BUT THE CURSOR WILL NOT GO ANY FURTHER - THEREFORE, I CANNOT TYPE MY MESSAGE
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == I TRIED TO SEND A MESSAGE TODAY

    1) Firefox 2.0.0.20 is no longer supported, and since you are using Windows Vista there are 3 newer versions of Firefox you can install - 2 of which are still supported.
    2) Which '''web mail''' service are you using with Firefox?
    Yesterdays Hotmail upgrade seems to have broken many things for Firefox users, regardless of which Firefox version is used. It's up to Microsoft to fix the problems they created with that update.

    Thank you.

  • Cursor will not move

    First, everything was working well for a few days, then it didn't. It connects and turns on fine (the menu is present and clear). I cannot move the cursor. It will not go up, down, left, right or back. When I try to reset the light blinks but I still cannot move the cursor. I have reset and unplugged. I have even tried using the remote for my iMac (after pairing). It will go to screen saver and there it stays until I goto TV or power down. I do not believe it is a remote issue. I repeat ... the cursor will not move. addendum - When I repress anything on the remote, the light blinks ... nothing else happens ... nothing. grrrrrrrrrr arg!

    Fixed it - the pairing and unpairing was the key - once I realized I was looking for the number of blinks, I it worked out. I think it was opposite of the instructions but maybe I don't know my left from my right. Merry Christmas

  • Satellite L350 - Cursor will not move

    My L350/L350D cursor will not move from middle of screen after boot up. All is good with system just with display sreen & icons.
    Ideas please.

    Hi
    Im also a little bit confused the cursor can be moved either using the touchpad or USB mouse.
    If the touchpad cannot be used, please check if its not disabled.
    As mentioned by PinkPanther, the function FN + F9 enables and disables the touchpad.
    But the cursor could be moved using mouse connected to USB ports.
    So even if the touchpad is disabled, the USB mouse should control the cursor.

  • Terminal window blinking cursor will not accept keyboard entry

    Have SunBlade100 w/ Solaris8.
    This is probably a dumb beginner question...
    When I enter certain commands at the terminal window - in this particular case
    # cat /dev/cua/a
    and I hit <return> the cursor skips to the next line, and
    continues blinking , and will not accept any keyboard entries.
    1. What is the significance of this? Is the cursor waiting further action, and if so, what?
    2. How do I get back to the prompt?
    3. Under this condition, is it safe to exit the terminal window by closing from the Window menu? (I can't type "exit" because the cursor won't accept keyboard entries, and Help for "closing the terminal" warns against closing from the Window menu because any background processes will not be terminated (and this may cause problems).
    Thanks in advance for any info on this.

    Thanks again for the info. <control>+C was exactly what I was looking for. It's coming back to me now-- the last time I had contact w/ UNIX was back in '85 at UC Berkeley (no GUI's back then!).
    I'm assuming that <control>+C is a graceful (i.e. relatively harmless way to exit the command.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               

  • Frozen cursor, will not shut down

  • Satellite Mouse Pad will only let me scroll, cursor will not move.

    Starting to get frustrated with this laptop.
    I'm having to resort to using a usb mouse to even get to the page, which something that I don't want to be doing.
    The most will not move at all, it'll only let me scroll up and down (when sliding with one finger).
    I've tried reinstalling the driver, to no avail.
    I've had this laptop for about a year now, never had a problem until now.
    It literally came out the blue. Searching on Google, it seems to be a well known issue, but there's not one solid solution to the issue, which is ridiculous.
    The mouse only move if I'm holding down either the right click or left click button, which is useless to me.
    Any help?

    I don’t know what notebook model you have exactly, but if you have some problems using the internal touchpad, i would recommend you to recheck the additional touchpad settings:
    Control panel -> mouse -> last tab (click settings button)
    If you will not find any settings related to this touchpad issue, please check if the touchpad isn’t disabled. Usually FN + F5 (in some cases FN + F9) would enable or disable the touchpad.
    Last but not least the issue could be related to hardware malfunction but before talking about hardware issue, the notebook should be recovered to factory settings.

  • Re:blinking cursor -- will not boot up

    cpu --- intel (r) atom (tm) cpu Nz80 speed 1660 mhz - built-in HDD/ssd:toshiba MK2555GSX-(s1) total memory
    1024 mb  bios version v1.60
    i think my son watched a movie and added on an viewer that erased the original drivers...now hd is gone and needs to be restored.  attempted several times going to f12 and changed configurations back to original default settings and pressed f9 to save and f10 to exit.
    also attemped hdd recovery mode and there were to options to restore when pressing f8 advanced -- computer locked up; left overnight to see what happens and error message keeps referring to check cable.  have reboted with ac adapter and without (only blinking cursor) attempted to take out battery but unable to unscrew and attempt to use only ac adapter...
    i know nothing else -- any tips will be helpful or it goes to local guy that hopefully can do a recovery....
    Solved!

    got the toshiba recovery disks today (2).  sorry but i'm still having trouble with this process.
    steps to recovery
    1. place the disc into the drive - Toshiba mini starter notebook does not have a drive.
    2. power up the computer while holding down the "C" key
    release the "C" key when the screen reads Toshiba
    3. the computer will format the hard drive and install the factory image.  follow all instruction on the screen
    4. Once the process is complete remove the recovery media and press any key to restart your computer.
    I went out and purchase a Male to Male connector to transfer files.  Got one file in back of hard drive that has cd/rom drive and one on side of mini notebook.  Press and held down "0" to get to boot menu.  There is no choice to select, DVD drive or Flash Drive to highlight so that either one will know who to communicate with to make the
    transfer. (ex: transfer recovery mode disks from d drive to c: drive on mini notebook).
    upon inserting Recovery disk in d: drive; screen pops up that says AutoPlay open folder to view files from DVD drive E removable disk  instead of getting selection here to transfer files on d drive to c:mini notebook.
    Do you know what the problem is?  please help if you can...I will be waiting.
    thanks fixmeup
