Design view goes blank [CS3]

I usually work with split code + design view
When working with certain files and make a change in code
view(or in a linked .css), and then click in Design view, the
Design view goes totally or partially blank. Either nothing appears
at all, or the content appears up to some point, and the rest up to
the end is blank.
Once this happens, there is absolutely no way to make the
'hidden' content visible. Tried to switch to another file, to
select code in code view, to edit in code view or even in design
view - no go. I have to close / open the file, and then it appears
normally. But indeed I can't do this every minite, is there some
solution known?
There is no stuff with visibility set to hidden or alike, if
the content is displayed - it's displayed correctly. Also looks OK
in all major browsers.
Thanks

This often happens when you have added such garbage code that
DW cannot
figure out what to do with it. For example, adding a
<body> or </body> tag
in the middle of a page can do such things. Might that be
what's happening
for you?

Hi, I am new to JDeveloper. I have installed 11.1.2.2.0 JDeveloper and have just installed all the updates via HELP -> CHECK FOR UPDATE.
I am currently working on JFS Tutorial at http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E18941_01/tutorials/jdtut_11r2_56/jdtut_11r2_56.html
I encounter the similar problem when I was in STEP 2 for numerous time. :(
No matter what I selected from the error box, my design view will end up be blank, it display nothing, even I hit the refresh button. :(
I check the source view, preview, yes they work fine.
Also, I have tried to clean the project. No helping at all.
This is how the error shows: http://s19.postimage.org/hxa7q5e6r/error.png
The details of the error: http://s19.postimage.org/sqhpynvgz/error_detail.png
Can someone please help me out :(

Have you tried to open the finished app from the zip? >> Yes, I did. And it works.
Also, as long as it does not crash nothing goes wrong. But once it does, not only the design view goes blank but I cant even execute the project, I will hit 505 error in the browser.
Can you give more info about your environment (OS, memory....)? >> http://s19.postimage.org/ttpxyfk7n/specs.png

Floated element breaks Design view in Dreamweaver CS3

I've tried searching for this issue but haven't found a fix yet and could use some help.
I am redesigning a site and am adding a fluid box to the page. This floated element breaks Design View in Dreamweaver CS3 but appears correctly in the Firefox, Chrome, and IE. I can get the element to appear correctly in Design View after I make minor changes to the page's HTML or CSS, however it always breaks when I save the file.
I've tried many work-arounds including adding an absoutely defined container div, altering the various div sizes, adding <div class="clear"> before and after the element, to no avail.
Ideally, I would like to have page appear correctly in Design View so that others in my lab can easily update the page (and not come to me with repeated questions!).
I've included screen prints of how it looks in Design View and how it look in Chrome.
THANKS! J
Design Time error:
Web Browser - correct view:

I'll try CS4; however my main reason for finding a fix is so that others updating the page (w/ CS3) will be able to do so w/ the WYSIWYG editor that we purchased. We will not be upgrading to CS4 anytime soon either.
Thanks

Design view in DW CS3 with php ?

I am evaluating DW CS3 having previously used text editors to
create simple php based sites.
I'm having problems understanding if DW can show a design
view of a static php page,that uses include php files to provide
the html code for the top of the page and the bottom of the page.
So something like
<?php include('includes/top.php'); ?>
<div id="main">
<h1>Page under construction</h1>
<div class="page_link"><a href="hw.php"
title="HW">Hardware</a></div>
</div>
<div id="bottom">
<?php include 'includes/bottom.php'; ?>
</body>
</html>
top.php and bottom.php include some standard images/text I'm
using on several pages. They contain standard html.
Would I expect DW to show what this should look like in
design view ? If so how do I get this to work ?

> Would I expect DW to show what this should look like in

> how do I get this to work ?
No, DW will not show this page in the way you are hoping.
Why? Because the
page doesn't contain <html>, <head>, or
<body> tags. Sure, you have them in
the include file, but DW won't like that. Must you have those
tags in the
files being included?

Design view in DreamWeaver CS3 disabled for CSS & Java

I currently use Adobe Dreamweaver CS3, and only some files have the option to view them in code AND in design view. This works for most files (HTML, PHP, etc). However, anytime I create a new CSS or Java file, the design view is disabled:
I have already tried the two other solutions I've found in this forum.
First I tried Preferences > File Types / Editors, and I deleted all of the file types in the "Open in Code View" menu (pictured below).
I restarted DW, and it didn't work.
Then I tried several steps to re-create the Configuration folder (which it did, but the problem remained) listed here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/401/kb401118.html.
Still nothing. HTML, PHP, ASP and all other files have the Design View and Split View available, but CSS and Java do not. I would really like to use DW to start editing CSS, but do not know it well enough to write in code and therefore could really use that handy Design View so I can learn as I tweak it.
Any help much appreciated - thanks!

HTML, PHP, ASP and all other files have the Design View and Split View available, but CSS and Java do not.
That's correct. That's as it should be.
A CSS file contains a bunch of text only CSS rules. Javascript is text-only script. There's no layout to see for CSS and JS files in Design and Split View so they're disabled.
Files with layout e.g. .htm, .php have Design View because they're web pages with a layout which can be viewed.
I would really like to use DW to start editing CSS, but do not know it well enough to write in code and therefore could really use that handy Design View so I can learn as I tweak it.
Open any .htm or .php (or other) web page and its associated CSS file.
Then tweak the CSS either via Code View in the CSS file, or using the DW CSS Editor when viewing the .htm/.php file, and see the formatting changes applied in Design View in the .htm (or .php) file.
Do not rely on DW's Design View as an absolute reference for pixel perfect accuracy. It will always be an approximation only to assist visually oriented web designers while editing.
Always test all CSS rules and edits in a range of browsers. Browser support for CSS rules and effects varies. Not all browsers support everything on offer in CSS1, CSS2 and CSS3.

Design View is Blank in CS5.5

Hello, I have had problems with design view since upgrading from CS3 to CS5.5. In fact, it has never worked for me. Design View is completly white.
I'm on a Mac, running OS X 10.7.3.
This isn't an issue with bad code, it's all the time. I can start a new document, type one word inside the body in code view and switch to design view and nothing is there. If I click in the white space on design view, I can type there and it will show when I go back to code view, but it won't show anything in design view while I'm typing.
This is not an issue with the "Head Content" covering everything up. I can toggle that on and off. I can also turn the rulers on and off and they show. But nothing on the page I'm working on will show.
Also, "Live View" works fine.
Any ideas? I'm totally stumped.
Thanks!

Code in will not appear in design view window of CS3 :(

When I was using CS2 and placed code in an HTML page like
this: <$JobTitle$> it would show up in the Design
window...but in CS3 it's invisible to the design view/window. Is
there any way to get it to show again? It would be a HUGE
help!!!

Yes, I do have it checked. It makes no difference with these
tags, unfortunately. :(
And I will admit, they'll be a dozen or so very happy people
if you can help me figure this one out.
I tried to compare all the settings under preferences between
CS2 and CS3, and they look the same. That's definitely why I'm
asking teh question here.

Using COMMAND 'B' to cut - viewer goes blank?

Not always, but often when I use the COMMAND B to make a cut in a clip - my viewer (which I have on a second monitor) goes blank. Stays blank for awhile, then comes back into service. I'm wondering what might be happening here?

I had the exact problem you report with my core duo Mac Mini connected to a Syncmaster 204B. This problem persisted when I returned the monitor several times to Samsung for replacement 204B's. They eventually upgraded me to a refurbished 204T and the problem disappeared.
It seems to me that Samsung has some real problems with screen blanking when their monitors are hooked by DVI to certain Macintoshes. For anyone contemplating a Samsung monitor, I'd recommend another brand until it's known that this screen blanking problem has been resolved with all Samsung models.

After applying a template to a page design view is blank - I can only edit in code view.

When I apply a template to a page everything is fine. I can see the page elements in design view and code view. I can edit the page and upload it and all is fine. However, when I save the page with a new name or close the page and then reopen the design view is empty, the code view is normal. I would like to be able to see the page in the design view and cannot. I don't know what to do. I hope someone has an idea for me. Thank you.
I am using DW CS5 and pages are ASP.

When you say "template" are you talking about the .dwt Template file from DW?
If so, you may be using it incorrectly. Once you create the .dwt, all of your new pages need to be created via File > New > Create Page From Template and then saved to your site. If you are using the .dwt file and doing "Save As" to create more pages, you're going to run into all sorts of problems.
Do you have a link we could look at?

Design view inop DW CS3

Design view grayed out, inaccessable. The file has an HTML
extenstion. Files I had previously been able to use Design View on,
Design View no longer works. I suspect I inadvertantly turned it
off, but how?

Problem resolved by renaming file extention from HTML to HTM
- Why in Wilbur's name this fixed the problem, I haven't a clue.

Design View Appearing Blank

Hello All:
I apologize that my first post is a question. I have searched
and cannot seem to find an answer to this. I am a new Dreamweaver
user but have been handcoding for ~7 years. I am self taught with
Dreamweaver so I may very well have done something wrong.
I created a template and everything worked fine in design
view and otherwise until I transfered said template to another
computer. On that other computer (and now on this one), my template
simple shows the background color (grey) instead of the rest of the
page. Oddly, when I put text in design view, it places it in the
first editable region on the template, which is around the body
tag. In Design view, it also shows up completely as an editable
region even though there is a 
there to end the editable region.
When I open any of the pages in Firefox/IE5-6/Opera on
various operating systems I have absolutely no problem viewing and
navigating the site, and there are no javascript errors.
Am I doing something wrong? I can provide a screen shot of
both the working page and the non-working design view. My HTML is
not validatable but that is not of concern at the moment.
Thank you in advance for your help,
Eric

You cannot place the body tag into an editable region using
DW's UI. You
can do it manually, of course, with the consequences you
describe.
If you want to edit the attributes of the body tag, there are
several ways -
what is it you are wanting to do?

Message Viewer Goes Blank - Recurring Problem

Hello,
Wondering if anyone in the community can shed some light on this or point me in the right direction for a solution.
When I'm in the message viewer window, I keep having a problem where after a few minutes of browsing e-mails, the portion of the window that lists all messages will go blank. I can still see the preview section of the message I had selected last, and I can still see my sidebar with my mailboxes, but area with the list of messages and details in completely white.
I can fix the problem easily if I close the viewer window, and then re-open it, or sometimes I have to quite mail then re-open it. However this has been happening more frequently and occurs almost every other time I look through my messages for more than 5 minutes.
I have 6 mail accounts, and a few years of e-mails for most, so is it possible that I've reached my limit on how much data mail can handle?
I'd love any insight or suggestions or similar problems anyone has encountered.
Thank You for Your Help!
Michael

Hi Michael,
Very Important, how much Free Space is on your Hard Drive first of all? Click on the Macintosh HD on the Desktop, then do a Get Info on it.
Not certain, but this can fix myriad Mail problems...
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move these folder & file to the Desktop.
Move this Folder to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
Move this file to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
Reboot.

Viewer goes blank when selecting an adjustment

I'm probably overlooking something. When I attempt to make an adjustment images in a new project, Aperture has started doing something strange. All of the images in this project are .jpg. After first importing the images, I was able to successfully adjust a handful of the images with no problem.
OK, so I first noticed this when I tried to use the Red Eye Tool. First, I enlarged the image to 100%, adjusted the diameter of the Red Eye tool. Then clicked on the first "red eye." For about 1/2 second the yellow circle appeared around the target. Then the image disappeared, leaving just the Viewer background color visible. The processing message and widget appeared at the bottom of the Viewer. After a minute of this I clicked on the Adjustments tab and no adjustments are available - it just shows an outline of where the adjustments usually are.
If I click on the Browser view, the images reappear. There is a new version that has 1. The first Red Eye adjustment or 2. If an adjustment panel was clicked on the adjustment checkbox shows checked. After that the second Red Eye adjustment can be applied or the adjustment panel stays functional. It seems like once the initial adjustment selection / disappearing image cycle is done, all of the adjustments work fine. Even multiple adjustments are no problem.
So, I would certainly appreciate any suggestions if you have experienced this problem!
Craig

Did some more fiddling, but still no closer to a resolution. It seems that any adjustment causes the image to be automatically stacked with the image to be modified under the original image. I checked preferences and the Automatically stack new versions is not checked.

CS3 Design View blank when body in Editable area

Anyone run into this? It appears to be a bug, possibly new in
DW CS3 (9.0 build 3481)
When a <body> tag is put in an editable region, DW does
not recognize subsequent editable regions and Design View is blank.
When saving this template, an error appears "This template does not
have any editable regions..." However, Code Validation and Template
Syntax Check return no errors. Moving the body tag out of the
editable region corrects the problem. Here is a sample template:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0
Transitional//EN" "
http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="
http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;
charset=utf-8" />
<title>Sample Template</title>
</head>

<body id="foo">

<h1>This is template text</h1>

<p>Text does not show in Design view</p>

</body>
</html>

[ADF-11.1.2.2] Design tab of jspx/jsff goes blank becuase of web.xml config

Hi,
I had my project created in 11.1.2.0 version and got upgraded to 11.1.2.2 recently.
I think there is one following problem with new version:- When you create a new page (jspx) and drag and drop a BTW, the page at designer becomes blank. That goes for all pages under webproject. I debug and found the root cause.
under web.xml file, there are different context-param tags.
when I drag and drop BTF in jspx page, jdeveloper insert following new tag in web.xml
<context-param>
    <description>Security precaution to prevent clickjacking: bust frames if the ancestor window domain(protocol, host, and port) and the frame domain are different. Another options for this parameter are always and never.</description>
    <param-name>org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.security.FRAME_BUSTING</param-name>
    <param-value>differentOrigin</param-value>
</context-param>I don't know why, but this create some problem in jdeveloper and the designer tag goes blank. If I remove the above tag, it start working fine.
Is this the issue with jdeveloper ?

Hi,
Timo, This is not an issue with new application. I will tell you the reason.
Frank, for 11.1.2.0 project, I think you are talking about
<context-param>
    <description>Security precaution to prevent clickjacking: bust frames if the ancestor window domain(protocol, host, and port) and the frame domain are different. Another options for this parameter are always and never.</description>
    <param-name>oracle.adf.view.rich.security.FRAME_BUSTING</param-name>
    <param-value>differentDomain</param-value>
</context-param>and I was talking about following tag in my previous post
<context-param>
    <description>Security precaution to prevent clickjacking: bust frames if the ancestor window domain(protocol, host, and port) and the frame domain are different. Another options for this parameter are always and never.</description>
    <param-name>org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.security.FRAME_BUSTING</param-name>
    <param-value>differentOrigin</param-value>
</context-param>Look at param-name tag, it's different.
Vinay, thank you very much for the link that makes whole thing clear :)
I tell you the whole scenario.
When I created the project in 11.1.2.0, web.xml had following tag
<context-param>
    <description>Security precaution to prevent clickjacking: bust frames if the ancestor window domain(protocol, host, and port) and the frame domain are different. Another options for this parameter are always and never.</description>
    <param-name>oracle.adf.view.rich.security.FRAME_BUSTING</param-name>
    <param-value>differentDomain</param-value>
</context-param>When you create a new project in 11.1.2.2, web.xml already have following tag
<context-param>
    <description>Security precaution to prevent clickjacking: bust frames if the ancestor window domain(protocol, host, and port) and the frame domain are different. Another options for this parameter are always and never.</description>
    <param-name>org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.security.FRAME_BUSTING</param-name>
    <param-value>differentOrigin</param-value>
</context-param>but not the "oracle.adf.view.rich.security.FRAME_BUSTING" tag, since it is deprecated in newer version.
The problem comes when you migrate 11.1.2.0 version project to newer version. Jdeveloper adds "org.apache.myfaces.trinidad.security.FRAME_BUSTING" tag instead of replacing the deprecated tag "oracle.adf.view.rich.security.FRAME_BUSTING" when you drag and drop BTF in jspx file for the first time. As per the link by vinay, developer has to "manually" modify the web.xml content manually (if not automatically done by Jdeveloper) before we proceed with any further development in newer version.
The solution is to follow what is written in http://jdevadf.oracle.com/adf-richclient-demo/docs/release-notes.html#New_in_this_Release :)
