Design view grayed out

Hi
Design view is grayed out for build 13875 on a large project. When a component is dragged in, a white circle with a diagonal line appears (can't put it here indication). Design view is visible and works well on small projects, like button skins. Clicking the refresh button doesn't bring back design view. It's a drag working blind. Anyone else having this problem?
Thanks for reading.

DW-CS3 / Split/Design View grayed out

In Dreamweaver CS3 (9.0.3453), when starting a new site, only
the CODE preview button is available - Split/Design views are
grayed out.
Also, everything in the submenu under View > Visual Aids
is also gray
Also, Refresh Design View is gray.
I'm a visual kinda guy, and haven't been able to find a fix
via Google.
NOTE: Everything was ok when first loading, then blew out.
Haven't been able to fix, and reinstalling doesn't work (I use Revo
Uninstaller to totally remove, so as to get a clean install -
nothing)
Many thanx for any help.

I think it is probably the type of document you are creating,
for example if
you go to open a javascript or xml or css document, it goes
to code and
grays out the disign and split views. So you might be opening
the wrong type
of document.

Design view greyed out

Hello
I have this css file and i can only view the code, when I try to click on the design view its greyed out. This wasnt the case last week when I could view it fine. Can anyone help me? Thanks

There is nothing to see in design view in a css file, it is always grayed out. Perhaps you were working with embedded css instead of a css file.

Why is my "hide toolbar" in the View grayed out. I am not able to show the toolbar.

I cannot keep the Safari toolbar showing. The "Hide Toolbar" in the View tab is grayed out. Also, I cannot get the dock to not hide.

Press the escape (esc) key to exit full-screen mode.

Design view is out of whack

I was working on Dreamweaver CS3 a couple of days ago and all
of a sudden (I'm pretty sure I pressed something) the design-view
went weird. I usual work in split view to see the coding and design
simultaneously. Now, the design view displays the given page I am
working on differently than how it would be seen in a browser.
For example, I have my home page, which shows a title and
four text links to the left of a centered image. However, in the
design view mode, it is shown as everything being aligned to the
left. The title, then the image, and then the four links.
I'm sure this could be easily reversed if I only knew what I
had pressed to make it this way. Please let me know if you can
help. Thank you!

> However, in the design view mode, it is shown as
> everything being aligned to the left.
That's an indication that a link to an external css
stylesheet is broken, or
that displaying CSS is turned off.
Look in the View menu under the CSS section, it's probably
set to not
display css.

Capture viewer grayed out.

Hi all, I seem to have pressed something that lost my capture viewer, everything was working fine ( and still does ), then when I went to capture again after putting in a new tape the viewer wasn't there! Everything else was, including the camera controls etc but no video, I can still capture by using the flip out screen on the camera ( sony pdx10p ) but I would like my video in the viewer back! Can anyone help? I am running 4.5 HD.

Hi Jerry, thanks very much for the reply! I have found out what the problem was, well I say that. I turned off my power book G4 for a while and then turned it back on, and as if by magic all was fine! Basically there was no reason. just did it to **** me off. anyway thanks again. Andy.

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.
Time to go put paint on my face and start dancing with

Import/Export Button in designer grayed out

Import/Export button in designer is grayed out for one user. it is not his security setting, since he doesn't have this issue using other machines.
I am wondering what is wrong on his machine? Could any body help us.
Thanks

Hi,
It seems that there might be some problem with the specific machine.
In order to be sure, just login as an administrator onto the machine, and check to be sure, whether it is an issue with rights.
However, if it is not the issue with the rights, then we can just reinstall Designer and check whether the issue has been resolved or not.
To do this, just go into your control panel and in the Add & Remove programs, click BusinessObjects and click on change, and then select Modify, expand the client components ,and select Desktop Intelligence : "Entire Feature will be unavailable" and continue with the uninstallation.
The next time around, perform the same steps, and then select DeskI and "Entire Feature will be installed on local hard drive" , and finish the installation.
This would reinstall the designer.

My 'Design View' has stopped working in CS5. How can I get it functioning again?

I've looked through the existing topics and couldn't find an answer.
I hadn't made anything in DreamweaverCS5 for a a few months, but when I went today to create a new HTML document, I couldn't do anything in 'Design View' . I have not changed anything with the program at all. I still checked Edit>Preferences>File Types/Editors and .html is not listed for 'Code View'. The 'Split' and 'Design View' buttons are clickable, but when I click in 'Design View' the Properties Inspector grays out. I also can't type anything into the field. There are two icons at the top, one for the meta tag and the other for the title tag in the 'Code View'.
I haven't the slightest idea as to why this is no longer working. This has never happened before. I did nothing but create a blank document. I'm on a PC. Any help with this would be extremely appreciated.

And just like that, I figured it out.
For some reason, the 'head content' had overtaken the 'Design View'. I clicked the down pointing arrow on the grayed out Properties Inspector just to try something else, and also to see what was hidden. When I did that, the top part of the 'Design View' peeked out a little from under the 'head content' area. I enlarged the 'Design View' field and realized what was going on. I still have no idea why that happened on it's own since I've never enlarged the view for 'head content' before. I actually usually don't have it enabled. I guess it's like a lot of people complain, Design View is quite buggy.

Rotate Format Field 180. Height Grays out and changes from 2 to 1????

Is there a reason why when I create a Format Field with a height of 2, and then when I rotate the field 180, then the height changes to 1 and can not be changed. (Grayed out).
Is there anyway to make the height back to 2? Strange why this would happen.
I'm using v5.5.1.280.
Thanks

Well, I was about to send the email but before doing so I decided to see what the software says about rotating. Here a quote from the help system:
>Output Designer does not support the rotation of multiple-line fields. If the rotate property for a multiple-line field is changed to something other then 0 (the default), Output Designer will automatically convert the multiple-line field to a single-line field. At the same time, Output Designer will gray out the height property for the field.
There doesn't seem to be a text rotation property but the help system states:
>Rotated text labels are restricted to a single line, using a single font. Output Designer converts a multi-line text label to a single line when rotated.
My guess is that the programming team was able to rotate the field but ran into a problem keeping the height so they documented the restriction.
It looks like to get multiple lines there will just have to be multiple fields and some way to split up the data into those fields.

How do I view content in Design view once everything is grayed out?

I was building a web site. When I switched from horizontal view to vertical view I was no longer able to view content in design view. The entire page was grayed out. I'm also not able to view content in design view in other web sites too. How do I fix it?

Well, yes the rest of the phone works, but the sole reason I got it was to able to view these files. I had a Blackberry and I wanted a bigger screen. Work allowed me to choose the iPhone or the latest Galaxy phone. I chose the iPhone because I was told "it just works".
I know the Galaxy reads the .txt files because coworkers have it. If the iPhone wont allow me to read the file then it doesn't matter if "it just works" because it can't do what I need it to do.

I have a problem with iPhoto on my iMac. Under the view site, I am unable to get to the photo size function. It is grayed out

Under the view designation in iPhoto, the photo pane and photo size options are grayed out. How can I get them turned back on so I can modify the size of small old photo I have scanned in.

There is no way to increase the size of a photo image once it's been scanned/taken. If you want larger images from a scanned image scan it at a higher resolution, dpi.
Additionally, with the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a solution. We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
what version of iPhoto are you using?
what system version are you running?
what do you mean by "view designation"?
what fixes have you tried?
where is your library located?
did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
what type of Mac?
how much free space on your boot drive?
