Design Mode not displaying

I have some old (from the year 2000-2001) html files that
would show up in the design editor in Dreamweaver. I am now using
Dreamweaver CS3 and the design mode only shows my background. When
I click on the 'split' icon to show both design/code, the code show
up perfectly but the design area only show the background color,
and a empty table with 2 talbes inside.
here is a screenshot of my workspace:
http://i65.photobucket.com/albums/h229/TripKid/layout.gif
Is there any preferences that I need to change?
Here is the html for this page. If it didn't show up, please
look at
http://peachesandcreamdayspa.com/html/skin_care.htm
. These were the most recent html files. I have to warn you, the
code is old and ugly! :)
If anyone could help, you would be a life saver! Thanks!

erase one of them, and click into design view again.

This makes Flash Builder 4 pretty much useless to me. Anybody happen to know how to fix this issue?
Thanks a lot in advance

Uninstalling Flash Builder 4 (my machine is a Mac Pro) and re-installing it solved the issue. Not my favourite way to resolve issues ... but desperate times ask for desperate measures.

Design mode not available when creating or opening a php file - CS5

I am not sure if this is a bug or not. When I create a new php file, it opens in code view. The options to view in design or code and design mode are disabled. If I reset the workspace, does not matter which workspace I am in at the time, then the file is displayed in code and design mode but the options to view in design or code and design are disabled.
If I select code view mode, the design view disappears (as expected) but there is no way to get to design or code and design without resetting the workspace.
Is this considered normal operation? The help system does not hint that there is a restriction on view modes for a PHP file.
Thanks
Walter

Hi Walter,
my DW opens always in that mode which I last worked in with a file and then closed DW. Did you already try this (tranlated from German DW):
Preferences> General> Open new document at startup.

Design mode not working in Jdev 10g

Hi All
I am facing some problem in Jdeveloper 10g. I created a project few days back. Today when I am opening jsp pages of that project, It is not coming in the Design mode. It writes only "Page Directives" instead of showing Forms and Tables. But when I run them, it shows the tables etc properly in browser.
Can anybode help me out to open the page in Design mode again.
Regards
Rexy

Hi Chris
According to the note, These files gate changed when they are inside WEB-INF. But in my case, these files are parallel to WEB-INF and still they are showing this kind of behaviour.

Design View Not Displaying Pages with any Formatting

I asked this question in another thread and somebody locked it. The question is not answered. My Design view is not displaying my files with any formatting. I can view them in a browser, but not in Design view where I can see my work as I'm working. While I can upload files to the remote server (host provider) the links got screwed up so files on the remote server don't show any formatting either. Every link, thousands of links, are off by one word (folder) from where my site was residing on my hard drive. When I try to make a change to the links manually then I can no longer view them with any formatting in my own browser either.
On my local broswer on my PC the address line reads: http://localhost/folderNameIneedToDelete/filename.php
On the live website (for my homepage) the address line reads http://websiteName.com/folderNameIneedToDelete/index.html
(Here is the text from another thread that was improperly locked)
I just added a remote server to my site so I could begin uploading files to my host provider. When I saved the setup I saw a message popup about the cache changing. Now when I try to view a file in Dreamweaver in Design View it doesn't recognize any of the external style sheets. It displays with no formating.
I can still view the pages in a browser and they look appropriate, just not in Design View where I can continue working on the site as I've been doing.
How do I get Design View to display my pages properly again using the .css pages that apply to each page design?
Thanks,
Robert

Murray, thanks for all your assistance.
Before I edit thousands of links again I want to confirm I've interpreted all your info correctly. If I setup everything as follows all my pages should work in Design View, browsers accessed from the "Preview/Debug in browser" icon in Dreamweaver and most importantly in a live environment at a host provider:
Site Setup
Site - Site Name: anything including spaces
Site - Local Site Folder: C:\wamp\www\rootfoldername\

Advanced Settings - Spry - Asset Folder: C:\wamp\www\rootfoldername\SpryAssets\
Site File Structure - place files in the following folders:
C:\wamp\www\rootfoldername
webpages (html & php)
_images - [folder] (there are numerous image folders beginning with _images) containing .jpg and .png files
_includes - [folder] containing attached .php files for the header, navigation and footer attached to every page
_scripts - [folder] containing .js script files
_styles - [folder] containing .css files (external style sheets)
Connections - [folder] contains one php file (databasename.php)
SpryAssets - [folder] containing system generated .js files .css files and .gif files
ZendFramework - [folder] - I have no idea if the files in this folder are necesary and why it was placed here many months ago
** Links **
Remove the leading / from every link in every file
HTML5 shiv
using an external link will always reflect the latest changes(Question) - If I link to this .js file externally at google instead of linking to a current copy in my _script folder could future changes to this external .js file cause future problems with the webpages that have this file attached?
Remote Server
Setup a remote server using the ftp address settings provided by the host provider. (Question) Any settings defined for the future Remote Server (the first remote server was deleted when problems occured) will not cause any harm to anything involving the Testing Server such as viewing webpages in Design View, browsers accessed from the "Preview/Debug in browser" icon in Dreamweaver and will not cause any harm to any files eventually put to the host provider via that future Remote Server. Is that correct?
Murray, thanks again for your help,
Robert

DW Design Mode not rendering properly

Can anyone help me with this one ...
Grab the source from this site
http://www.s-3corp.com/ and save
the
page. Open it in DW design mode. try to select the text and
edit it
from within DW design mode?
If I want to edit the content - I must do it in code view. If
I attempt
to select text in design view - then DW selects the entire
containing
div - which is really really annoying.
Any ideas? I assume it is a setting of some kind - except
this is the
only site I have that does this. So then I think it is in the
code
somehow? The styling? AARRRGHH!! :)
Thanks,
Chris

It's a pragmatic solution to the problem of fitting 5 pounds
of content into
a 3 pound box. If you have content in a region that must
scroll, and if
DW's design view were to show you all of the content, it
would break your
layout. This is the solution to that issue....

Design View not displaying properly

I am pretty new to Dreamweaver. I can't get my Design view to display properly, even when tried on two different computers. The top div displays properly, then on the nav bar, only the background shows with the table items just listed in a row. There are a lot of black background segments to the page, and thin yellow lines. The main content shows at the bottom after a big chunk of black background blocks. The page shows perfectly fine in a browser. I can only work in Code view because of this. Any suggestions?
If it helps, here is my html:

I still cannot solve this problem. Can ANYONE out there help, or tell me where I can find the answer. Now I will attach two screen shots of what my Design View looks like. It happens on all pages I have created. I do like working in code view, but there are times when it's easier, almost essential for me to work in Design view. If it works for some people, why not me?
These images are the top and then the bottom of the same page. I have turned CSS rendering on and off, but nothing helps.

Design view not displaying but code view is ok

Hi Everyone,
my design view in dreamweaver cs5.5 is not displaying anything but all the code is there and my page online is working fine http://www.exclusivewindowtint.com.au/car-window-tinting.html
How can i fix this as easy as possible? this is only happening to this one page on my website.
Thank You
George

I have to second Murray on this.
I will go a step further and say ignoring errors on your site because someone else's site has some is extremely poor advice, especially considering the volume of people visiting this forum alone with a random display problems that are solved by simply correcting the errors found in the validators.
Restoring from a backup may work this time, but why did it work? That's where validation, and understanding what the validator is telling you, pays off. You somehow inadvertantly mangled your table code, will that ever happen again? What happens if your backup also has the same mangled code next time?
Some validation errors are never going to affect display and can be completely ignored from a "how does this affect my design" point of view, like missing an alt attribute on an image for instance. Others, like missing or improperly nested html elements, can kill your design in browsers or rendering engines that can't handle major errors (like most versions of IE or DW's Design View) while everything looks fine in a browser better programmed to handle problems (like Chrome or Firefox).
Bottom line is, the validators are extremely useful tools, do not ignore the error report unless you understand which errors can be ignored.

Designer does not display logs

The Designer (12.2.1.0) does not display logs when we use
    -s"jobname"
instead of
    -G"guid"
in parameter-text-files for exported-execution-commands (batch-files).
The logfiles are created on disk.
The management console finds the logfiles and displays them.
The AL_HISTORY* tables and views know where the logfiles are.
Has anyone experienced similar behaviour?
Is there a cure?
TIA
Bernódus

-s"jobname" or -s"JOBNAME" or -s"joBName"
Case does not matter regarding display of logs.
But console.job-name == al_history.sevice == value-of-parameter.
       it does not matter if name==lower(normname) or upper(name)==normname
Designer location does not matter either.
We see no logs when activating Designer on the jobserver machine.
And we see no logs when activating Designer on some developer machine.

Design Window Not Displaying Correctly

In MX 2004, I have a layout in which the column structure is
set forth in CSS, but the columns then contain HTML-defined tables.
Is this mixture problematic in MX 2004? If I hit F12 or upload, the
result is fine, but in the Design window, the display is thoroughly
broken. Elements are skewed left-right-up-down, or don't appear at
all. I'm flying blind.
Is this problem known in MX 2004? If so, is it one of the
things that "expanded CSS support" of Dreamweaver 8 fixes? I'm
loath to upgrade if all I get is the same limitation.
Thanks in advance

> Is this mixture problematic in MX 2004?
No. Most likely your code is 'troubled', even if it looks OK
in the
browser. Can you post a link to the page? Does the page
validate?

Table in design view not displaying properly

I put in a table at 100% width - to house a spry menu. It shows up fine in all browsers and in live mode, but in dreamweaver design view the table and menu display off to the right - outside of the workspace. It's a pain! How do I fix this?

You certainly do NOT need a table to hold your menu -- no matter which one you use.
Table layouts went the way of the dinosaur last century. Nowadays, we use CSS for layouts. To illustrate, copy & paste this code into a new, blank document and preview in browsers.

DW design view not displaying CSS correctly

Hello,
I am having a problem using the position:relative CSS. I've
created a simple page that has 3 div tags. Below is the code:
<body>
<div id="headerleft"><img src="/images/header.gif"
width="303" height="120" /></div>
<div id="headerright">Right Side</div>
<div id="toplinks">
<a href="www.google.com">Link 1</a> |
<a href="www.google.com">Link 2</a> |
<a href="www.google.com">Link 3</a> |
</div>
</body>
Below is my CSS code:
#headerleft {
position: relative;
z-index:2;
margin-bottom:-40px;
float:left;
#headerright {
float:right;
#toplinks {
position: relative;
z-index:3;
text-align:center;
clear:both;
What this page does is shows a image in the top left corner.
In the top right the phrase "Right Side". Then my third div
'toplinks' displays a bunch of links. Since my headerleft id has
margin-bottom:-40px, I need to use z-index and position:relative so
that my links are shown above the headerleft id.
I publish the page and view it in IE and everything works
fine. However, in Design View in DW my toplinks div is displayed
right under the rightheader id. For some reason it's not being
displayed under the left and right floats(headerleft and
headerright id's). Not sure why because I have 'clear:both' set for
that div's CSS.
I take the position:relative out of the toplinks id, and
everything looks fine in DW. My toplinks id then drops under the
both headerleft and headerright. However, when I view this is IE
then the links on the left are no longer active. I guess because
z-index needs position:relative to work?
Anybody have any suggestions?
Thanks

I'm not sure what you are trying to accomplish, but try this
much simpler
and less convoluted code -
<style type="text/css">

</style>
</head>
<body>
<div id="headerleft">
<div id="toplinks"> <a
href="www.google.com">Link 1</a> | <a
href="www.google.com">Link
2</a> | <a href="www.google.com">Link
3</a> | </div>
<div id="headerright">Right Side</div>
<img src="/images/header.gif" width="303" height="120"
/> </div>
</body>

InCopy Layout Mode not displaying correctly.

I have a layout that I (designer) have created in InDesign. I have created the assignments and packaged for InCopy, but when the editor gets the InCopy file the "Layout" view displays the layout incorrectly which throws off the text for the entire document making it illegible in Layout mode.
Has anyone else had this problem? or know of a fix?
I can provide the file if anyone thinks they can help me troubleshoot.

Jenny, this has happened to me in the past, and I was able to troubleshoot it to some corruption that came over from QXP (the layout was converted from an XPress layout). Apparently the INDD format is more forgiving than the INCA format when there are glitches.
Just throwing it out there ... I just needed to rejigger some paragraph styles in the INDD file to fix the problem, as I recall.

Design View Not displaying the page

Recently I asked the same question here but I think I did not explain myself correctly. I have hunted for answers but not found any so I am asking again with images this time.
I have had this site written for me and I know it was written in DW. They claim that they can work with the file no problem but I certainly cannot.
When I try to open it all I can see in the design view is the <div> boxes as below. If I display it in split view - live - I can see the page.
Is this display what I should expect or is there some other reason like code errors ??
Cheers and thanks for the help

You have this -
</head>
<script>

</script>
<style type="text/css">
#preloader {
     position: absolute;
     top: 0;
     left: 0;
     right: 0;
     bottom: 0;
     background-color: #fefefe;
     z-index: 99;
    height: 100%;
#status {
     width: 200px;
     height: 200px;
     position: absolute;
     left: 50%;
     top: 50%;
     background-image: url(ajax-loader.gif);
     background-repeat: no-repeat;
     background-position: center;
     margin: -100px 0 0 -100px;
</style>
<body>
In other words, you have a script block AND a CSS block between </head> and <body>. That's invalid code. Move it to where it belongs inside the <head> region. You could have found this in an instant by checking the page here - http://validator.w3.org.
