Design View Disappeared in CC 2014.1

When editing a site in "Managed Site" mode... ONLY the "LIVE" view button is available. When I edit a page that is not part of a "Managed Site", then the Design & Live view dropdown has both options. I still want "Design View" when editing a "Managed Site"
Thanks

If I want to delete an entire section of text that has more than one <p> tag or div's, you can't.
Did you know that you can delete tags (& content) by selecting it & pressing the delete button, in Live View?
If I want to replace all the text in multiple <p> tags, I can't.
You can double-click any tag in Live View to get into edit mode & then you can edit/replace text inside the tag,
Sometimes trying to delete the entire tag, doesn't...
... I have to go into code view to delete remnants of tags left behind.
Select the tag you want to remove & just hit the Delete button.
One frustrating thing I notice is that you have to single click, double-click to enter a true edit mode of text.
And sometimes, that doesn't work properly. Especially if you have multiple styles within a <p> tag.
You ONLY need to double-click to get into edit mode in Live View. Having multiple styles should not impact this functionality.
Alternatively, you can hit Enter/Return using keyboard to do the same.
One more AGGRAVATING THING is when I make an update in code or Live View, Live View doesn't update automatically.
I have to actually click the new "Refresh" button that is to the right of the Live View button.
And what really stinks... if I have 25 htm pages that I updated with a Library asset, I have to go to each page separately and press that refresh button...
ONE AT A TIME.
Do you have all 25 pages opened at a time? Are these pages part of a template?
Can you please elaborate on the workflows where updates are not reflected in Live View & you have to manually refresh pages?
Overall, thank you for listing down your pain points. It helps us understand workflow gaps & to come up with better ones in the future.
Request others also to list down their issues.
Thanks,

When I insert a format extension the design view disappears?

Hi,
I'm just following one of the tutorial from Lynda.com and found that when I change the format of a variable from a record set something very odd happens ... certainly not what happens in the tutorial.
Okay .. here is what I'm doing ...
I've installed the extension 'PHP Numeric Formats' from the Adobe Exchange and restart DWeaver.
I select the price variable {rsTitles.price} go to Bindings and change the format to the USDollar and as soon as the format is inserted all the images, formatting and text disappears in the design view and is replaced by a number of PHP icons.
Going to Live mode it is displaying ok ... but not being able to see what's going on in the design view is going to limit things somewhat.
All the other formats from the 'PHP Numeric Formats' have the same effect.
I also installed 'PHP Server Formats' (latest version from the programmers website) and the date format works ok .. but doesn't seem to have any currency options.
So first question is: Why is the above problem happening ... Does this happen to anyone else?
2nd question is: May you know of a better extension for currency and numeric formats. that doesn't cause the design view to disappear?
Many thanks for your time and I would really appreciate any help.
Best wishes,
Nick
I've attached some screenshots of the problem

Hi,
Doh! I've just realised what is happening ... my computer restarted but the WampServer (local.host) was not restarted and was not running at the time of applying the extensions. Once it is up and running all the currencies formats work just fine .... as I said before ... doh!
If your looking for formating for currency in an exstension ... I've been using 'FX PHP Formats' avaliable for download free here after registering:

Design view disappears when I uncheck Restrict Page Occurrence

Dear Adobe Forms Experts,
I have an Adobe print form with two master pages: one mailing address page that should only occur once, as the first page, and then the main page, which can occur many times. I have been asked to make the mailing page conditional, based on the company code of the invoice. I followed a very useful discussion on SCN explaining how to do this with a HIDEPAGE global variable, wrapping all the fields on the page in a subform, and doing some FormCalc scripting for the subform.
I was able to get the page to print as blank when the HIDEPAGE flag was set, but so far I have been unable to get the mailing page to go away altogether.
I noticed that on the mailing page the "Restrict Page Occurrence" checkbox was checked, and the Min count was set to 1. Well, I thought, that could explain it; I'll just uncheck the "Restrict page Occurrence" checkbox, and all will be right with the world!
Wrong! When I uncheck that checkbox, the Design View for my mailing master page disappears, and the mailing page never prints, regardless of the state of my HIDEPAGE global variable! When I recheck the checkbox, the design view reappears, and the mailing page goes back to printing a blank page when my HIDEPAGE flag is set.
What in the world is going on here?! What am I doing wrong?
Cheers,
TerryB
P.S. I am using Adobe LiveCycle Designer 9.0, and I believe the form was originally created using 9.0

First off, in case anybody reading this in the future has any doubt, I will confirm that this discussion has morphed into the well-worn discussion on how to conditionally hide a page.
Pavan,
    I am now working on a copy of the original form, so I have the freedom to do whatever I want. First off, thank you for the suggestion of right-clicking on the "data" very-top-level node in the hierarchy view, and selecting "Insert subform". That did the trick for adding the missing design view for my mailing page.
    I am now trying to reduce things to their simplest form, to reduce the number of places I could be going wrong. The mailing master page now contains nothing but a content area (which appears to be required). The design view for my mailing page now contains only two objects: the "D_HIDE_PAGE" flag, (bound to the global field in the interface, where I have put the code to conditionally set the flag), and a subform called "Show_Hide", which is set to "flowed". The flag field is wrapped in the Show_Hide subform. I added the following FormCalc code to the Initialize, form:ready, and layout:ready events of the Show_Hide subform:
if ($.D_HIDE_PAGE == "X")
then
$.presence = "hidden"
endif
    When I do a print preview on the form for an invoice that does not set the flag, I see the label for my flag field on the mailing page. When I do a print preview for an invoice that DOES set the flag, I get a completely blank mailing page--but the blank page is NOT being suppressed!
    Just for grins I also tried adding the same FormCalc code to the same 3 events of the top-level subform of the design view (the one I added by right-clicking on the "data" node in the hierarchy view; I called this subform "MAIL_DESIGN"). Same results as before.
    I believe I've followed all the steps laid out in the many SCN discussions on this topic--but obviously I am still missing something. Any clues where I may have gone wrong?
Cheers,
TerryB

Design View disappeared in FB 4.5 (not 4.7)

I know that Flash Builder 4.7 does not have a design view. However in Flash Builder 4.5 the option to switch to the Design View is grayed out and the button for design view has disappeared from my interface. I need this design view to follow a specific tutorial although I could probably get away with inspecting the code if I can get my hands on it. I would prefer to have the design view there. That's what I paid for with this version of Flash Builder.
Thanks in advance.

Design view is available up to Flash Builder 4.6, but you can not use a later version of the Flash SDK than 4.6 otherwise design view will not be enabled.

Flex 3 Design view disappears

I have recently downloaded Flex Builder 3 for a trial. I have
been happily exploring and building simple apps and suddenly I
can't see the design view in any project or application. When I
click the "Design" tab I see a grey blank area with no visible
components.I unistalled/reinstalled the product but the problem
remains. Am i overlooking something simple being a newbie or has
anyone else had or is havin tghe same problem.

Design view disappears

In a template that I am using on a number of pages, I put the
<body> tag in a editable region so I can add an onload tag
unique to to each page. This works fine when displayed with a
server, but in the Display mode of DW I get a blank page. This
happens on all pages that use the template, whether on not I have
added the onload tag.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how this can be fixed?
Thanks,
Marty Matthews

You cannot have the <body> tag in a Template editable
region. If you want
to add a unique event to a child page's body tag, investigate
the use of
DW's Editable Attributes (use DW's F1 Help).

Design view not always available?

I have a some sites in Dreamweaver CC 2014 but none of them are created in this version, they are created mostly in CS6. But when I open them in CC 2014, some of them seem to have the "design view" available, but som of them not. And I cannot understand why. Anyone having a clue? This is quite annoying since I want the design view....
Lena P

The new Live View on CC 2014.1 64 bit works faster than Design view did in CC 2014, however, pages take twice as long to open/load on my Win 7 machine.
Also, if the settings are wrong, it is WAY too easy to delete content.
Example: With Split view "Code and Live" (No Design option for PHP pages) it will let m scroll in either Code or Live. If I click content in Live view I can't edit there. If I then click into Code view the entire Body highlights. If I scroll back down to the content I wish to edit and click a blank section of the code (outside of any tags) the entire body is again highlighted and cursor it at the top of this content.
More than once, out of habit, I have scrolled down to a content section, typed a letter and a whole block of content has been replaced with my new letter.
I am convinced this has to do with the new settings and my combinations are not right, but I can't find a combination I like (Can edit either live page or code AND see Fluid Grid background)
Today, I do prefer the previous Code and Design view for my PHP pages

Why does some text disappear in Design View?

Hi,
I've had a website for about six years. On my Windows XP computer I used Dreamweaver 8 with minimal problems. When I upgraded to Windows 7 last spring, I bought Dreamweaver CS5. I've had a lot of problems since then. Here's the latest and most serious:
I went to edit my homepage about a week ago, and all the text in the middle column (not the left or right sidebars) suddenly disappeared in Design View. If I click on Live View, the text shows up, as it does on the internet. This now seems to be happening in each page I open. I'm unable to edit my pages.
I tried to install the recent update from Adobe.com, but was unable to do so. An adobe tech told me to reinstall Dreamweaver and try again. No luck.
I never had this problem in earlier versions of Dreamweaver. My website is on the first page of Google in many categories, and I'm afraid to change it much. How do I fix this problem?
You can view my website here: http://karathecomputertutor.com/
Thanks.

You have some issues, however I dont know if they are related. You have two opening <html> tags....thats not good. I would suggest you fix your validation issues first, see if that doent help, if it does not, let us know.

Why has my form suddenly disappeared from design view?

My form has just disappeared from 'design view' but if i hit 'live view' it re-appears, the code is all there i just cant view it?

Its because your table code is broken. I had a job this morning wading through it so I eventually selected just the from part - <form> </form> - which I believe is intact and dumped it in another DW file.
If you can't find the broken or missing tag/s can I suggest you do this and rebuild the outer table.

Dreamweaver CC 2014.1 design view gone - what next?!

First Adobe deprecates server behaviors, now they are removing design view?! I am stunned. Design View is the SOLE reason I use Dreamweaver! (It's more of a quick code navigator in split view.) Live view has NEVER worked in a practical and usable way, and still seems very quirky at best in this 2014.1 release.
Adobe, Please don't remove useful tools like this! What's next; dropping extension support? Some of us have to make a living using these tools.
Please help me understand, Adobe. Why not keep design view as an option?
...on to opening CS6 once again so I can continue actually working on projects...

Design View is still available for normal layouts. See screenshot.
If you're not seeing it in the selection list, you're working with Fluid Grid layouts. But don't panic. You have a couple of options.
Option #1 -- Trick DW into thinking it's a normal layout by putting an X in your FG Layout CSS file. Do this in Code View, not with Designer Panels.
    Dreamweaver Fluid Grid Properties
    dw-num-cols-mobile:      X 4;
    dw-num-cols-tablet:        8;
    dw-num-cols-desktop:    12;
    dw-gutter-percentage:    25;
=====================================
Option #2 -- Drop back to CC 2014.0 (June Release) from these direct links:
WIN : http://download.adobe.com/pub/adobe/dreamweaver/win/cc/Dreamweaver_14_LS20.exe
MAC : http://download.adobe.com/pub/adobe/dreamweaver/mac/cc/Dreamweaver_14_LS20.dmg

Adding an html comment causes entire table to disappear in CC Design view

Doing some tweaks to a page in the html editor in DW CC and adding a simple comment  causes the extensive table beneath it to disappear from the design view pane. But the html is still there in the html editor and the page still appears correctly in a browser. Refresh Design View does nothing. At first I kept Undo'ing it to get back to where I was before adding the comment. Then I thought maybe if I saved the doc after adding the comment it would refresh correctly, but it didn't. Quitting and rebooting DW doesnt help.
What gives? Now the Design view table is gone. I can't work like this, without seeing the page I'm working on...
I can make this same thing happen over and over - which seems to indicate a bug in DW CC...
I know you pro's are anti-tables but I'm stuck with tables right now...

Ok I understand about dl'ing files, np. Heres the page in progress: {link temporarily removed} with 2 duplicate table elements below the first, one in the center I was adjusting/adding comment DW has disappeared, the other at bottom intact for backup. Here's what the disappeared version looks like in DW:
CC:
The layout is simple and DW shouldn't prevent me from doing this: I know it could be done with div's and CSS but I'm not going to practice and perfect that for this right now, its already torture enough using DW for this simple thing. It needs to stay as nested tables.
Despite any method of working - adding a comment should not create this hassle.
Thanks for trying to help!

Design view in Dreamweaver CC (update Oct. 2014)

Design view in Dreamweaver CC (update Oct. 2014) shows renders fonts and elements as huge making it impossible to work in that view. In live view it goes down to normal. And is there a way to switch of the blue tag inspector wrapping around the elements in focus? It's driving me nuts!
What am I doing wrong, or is there a setting I'm unaware of?

Jon Fritz II wrote:
I have a sneaking suspicion that the "fix" is going to be the complete removal of Design View and a much more robust implementation of a Live View editor. I don't have anything to back that up, it's just the vibe I get from the direction DW seems to be taking.
If there is a single web design/editor/developer application that even comes close to the features and power of Dreamweaver, I have yet to find it. And I test everyone I come across. Dw truly is the last great web design powerhouse. One of the main features that makes it so powerful, is its rich WYSIWYG editor for producing and managing large sites with tons of content - otherwise known as the inappropriately named Design View.
As design surfaces go, apps like Macaw, Webflow, and Reflow nailed it. They're brilliant when it comes to prototyping designs and building & styling structures. Dreamweaver just can't compete with those types of visual workflows. Live View is barely a design surface at all, and its workflows are preposterous. That may change over time. Live View might be useful someday for prototyping designs and building & styling structures, but I would be very surprised if Live View's design surface ever... ever... ever becomes a useful content production and management surface.
If Adobe allows - or forces - the Dw team to remove Design View, leaving us without a decent WYSIWYG editor, then where does that leave web designers like myself who produce and manage corporate sites with lots of content? - It's a rhetorical question.

CS3 Templates - css disappears in design view

In DW CS3, I've noticed that after I've been working with
templates for a while, often with several templates open
simultaneously, the style rendering suddenly disappears in design
view, and I see only the unformatted text on the screen. If I close
DW and restart, the pages render correctly, but after 15 min. or
so, the style problem returns. Anyone else run into this?

Wait - is this about FLASH or CSS? (see your subject line).
Anyhow - the solution posted here 3 or 4 times a day would be
to make the
links to the Flash in the Template page be ROOT relative
links, i.e., change
this -

Corrupt design view in Dreamweaver 2014

Is there a solution for the corrupt design view in Dreamweaver 2014. Adobe continues to fix this and it has not changed. My pages are all distorted and the elements/divs are all over the place. It is perfect in live view.
PLEASE...does anyone have a solution,
Thanks,
Kathy

Kathy,
Design view in Dreamweaver has always been very problematic, it amazes me that it has been OK for you in the past.
With DWCC14, live view has greatly improved and it will not surprise me if Adobe decide to drop Design view in future releases.
To answer your question, in DWCC14, I would not use design view at all. You can now use Live view where you could not use it in previous versions of DW.

Design View Has Disappeared

The design view in Dreamweaver CS3 has suddenly disappeared. I noticed this problem a few days ago when working in code then switching to design sometimes nothing would show. Going back to code and then clicking on design again usually solved the problem but not this time.
I closed the file I was working on with the design view blank. Now everything I open, on every website will not show design view at all. I've tried re-booting the computer and nothing works. I'm running a Mac with OS X 10.6.8
Can anyone help me please?
Debra

Dreamweaver allows you to customize your workspace (the interface in DW, size and position of the various panels) in different ways to suit your preferred workflow.
It also offers you quick ways to switch between different preset Workspaces.
You can also Reset back to factory default layouts.
