Design view not editable or viewable for validated site

I can see the site fine at http://www.wwu.edu/atustest - it validates and is viewable in the browser and in "Live" or "code" view in Dreamweaver. However when I try to display it in "Design" view nothing shows except the header, and that is garbled. None of the content is viewable or editable. Help! I cannot deliver this to my non-coding users.

If my code challenged clients want to maintain their own site, I give them a CMS. DW is for experienced web developers. It's not for amateurs.

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 not working after importing project from Flex Builder

After importing a project from Flex Builder to Flash Builder I am no longer able to see anything in the design view. I am using the flex 4.5 sdk.
Any idea how I can get this design view working? I heard it could have something to do with the metadata directory but am slightly lost here?...
Adam

Could you please provide more information as to what exactly are you importing. Also does Design View not lauch at all or does it give errors. Would it be possible for you to share the logs.
Meanwhile you can try cleaning the workspace and importing again to see if that solves the 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 rendering content of pages

I am the webmaster and lead developer for a state university. We have developed a responsive Dreamweaver template for our mostly non-coding users (admin assistants usually are assigned web tasks for some reason). You can see our site here http://www.wwu.edu/webtech . When we bring up pages in Design View, they cannot be edited; none of the content is visible. Live view is pretty good, but it's difficult for non-coders to edit in this window. For instance, in Design view they can just select Enter after a block of text to start a new <p>; In Live View you can modify an existing paragraph as if you were in Design View, but you cannot add elements without using the Insert tool. My non code users have no idea what the Insert menu is talking about. So my questions are:
1. First - has anyone else hit situations where Design View did not work? Here is what it looks like for the site mentioned above:
2. Any idea why design view cannot handle this page? It's a standard responsive site with media queries... I've tried stripping out complexity but cannot get it to work. It is valid HTML and passes tests.
3. Am I using the wrong product? Can Muse handle Dreamweaver templates?

Nancy O, osgood_, Fritz, thank you for your thoughts.
Dreamweaver has been a wonderful tool for non-coders for many years. We developed templates for the groups, then all they had to do was put the content into the correct areas through the power of the Dreamweaver template. That is no longer possible it seems with the more complex, responsive templates. And yes, Osgood_ , it does appear that some pages will be rendered fine in Dreamweaver. Our older templates such as represented by this site: http://www.wwu.edu/bservices IS viewable and editable in Dreamweaver Design view. Those users are quite happy. However our newest responsive Dreamweaver templated sites such as http://www.wwu.edu/webtech and http://www.wuw.edu/registrar2 are not.
What I'd really love is for an adobe engineer to sit down and look at our templates and let me know if there is anything I could do to make these templates usable in Design View.
Our other alternative is to move away from static HTML and Dreamweaver and go entirely to WordPress and Drupal. I will miss Dreamweaver when this happens! I had hoped there was a place for those who did not want the complication of a Wordpress site...

JSP Design view not working in JDeveloper 10.1.3.3

Hi,
The problem I have is that my JSPs all throw a class not found error in design view when I load them. The problem is related to the useBean tag (see error example).
Error exercising tag : jsp:useBean
java.lang.Exception: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com......client.jsp.testclass
The application is divided into a web project, an EJB project, and a server classes project. The JSPs are in the web project and the problem classes are in the server classes project. I'm limited to source view editing of JSPs due to this and the problem is only in the IDE, deployment of the code to the server is fine.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Kaitain

I think they are but I could be mistaken, as the libraries list for the web project shows the server classes as a library.

Design view not showing true design

I'm using Dreamweaver CS3, and have an issue with design
view.
I was editing the content of a page in design view, applying
styles from my main.css, when the page I was working on suddenly
lost all its styles, including heading & paragraph styles, and
placement of most div tags.
My header and the div tags inside that are still visible, as
is the side navigation, although the background image for the side
navigation is not. It seems to be all my editable regions that have
decided not to show correctly.
I've checked other pages and templates based on the main.css,
and they all appear to have the same problem.
The good news:
1. The CSS Styles inspector on each page shows it is attached
to the main.css, but lists only three styles under that style
sheet, all of which are named 'td img'.
2. The main.css itself looks fine. All my styles are still
there.
3. When I preview my site in a browser, it looks as it
should, so presumably it IS still attached to the style sheet, it's
just not showing properly when I'm working on it.
Any clues as to what's going on?
As I'm sure everyone says, this is kind of urgent, so any
help anyone can offer will be very gratefully received!
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer!
EDIT: I've been playing around with previewing the site in a
browser again, and have encountered another issue, which may be
related. I can preview a preliminary page, but all my links take me
to a 'this page cannot be found' error message. I was pretty sure
it wasn't doing this when I first encountered the problem with
design view, but I could be mistaken. Has something happened to the
internal links on my site, perhaps?

In the View menu go to Style Rendering. Make sure Display
Styles is checked.

Design View Nonworkable - Fine in Browsers and Validation

Hi!
I have year old sites and new sites using CSS and server side
includes (both php and asp) that are nonworkable in design view in
Dreamweaver CS3. Sites were fine in Macromedia 8 but not now. My
very old sites are fine - they are straight HTML sites.
I have read several past posts on this problem and ruled out
many of the solutions for my case. My pages are clean in WC3
validation (meaning no errors) - since this is what Adobe
Dreamweaver support was concerned about when I took out an support
incident with them. The sites display fine in 6 browsers, but not
in DW CS3 now that I upgraded. This makes no sense.
I see some answers that CS3 is not as tolerant as before of
bad coding. This is not the issue, it is validated and displaying
across browsers fine.
I and my staff are crippled working on these sites now that
we have all upgraded to CS3 with the way they are displaying.
Here are some pages that I am having problems with:
http://www.scandpg.org/meeting_event.php
http://www.eatrightny.org/about/about_site.php
http://www.eatrightmissouri.org/jobs/index.asp
(site workign on now, not live)
http://www.hada.com/about/board.asp
I have found if I uncheck server side includes in preferences
for invisible elements I can work on the content better, but this
is a workaround but does not resolve the fact that DW is not
displaying coding in view correctly and still leaves some issues
when developing a site.
Thanks for your help in shedding light on this as I may be
off. My conclusions are drawn from a support incident/ticket with
Adobe on this very same thing, looking at the DW forum postings
over the last six months on this and my own recent experiences.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Healthy regards,
Teresa

If you want to work in DW, then you must adopt this approach
to the use of
server-side includes:
> The parent file is the ONLY one that can contain
<html>, <head>, or <body>
> tags.
> The include files cannot contain those tags.
> The final assembled page must therefore only contain one
instance of each
> with its associated closing tag.
That seems to be your largest problem.

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:

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

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.

Problem doing JSF tutorial - design view not working

Hi everyone.
I am fairly new to Java and followed the tutorial bellow to styart learning about it.
http://st-curriculum.oracle.com/obe/jdev/obe11jdev/ps1/adf_richclient/adfrichclient.htm#o
I managed to finish the tutorial using the structure explorer because the design view wasn't working for me. Whenever I make a JSF Template and use it to make another JSF page, the design view does not shows the facet I've added, thus I cannot put any components using the design view. I basically fail to get the screen shown at #4 of the "Create a Page Using the Page Template" section in the tutorial.
Am I missing a configuration or something ?
Thanks.

I tried looking at the logs (with the option on) and didn't see anything. I'll continue to investiguate on this.
Here is the template code followed by the "child" page code. On the page code, I can't put anything inside the facet using the designer, but using the structure, I can.

Quickie: Design view not working

Hi all,
Not sure why, but design view (non-live) just shows a grey panel, or white if I focus on it.
If I turn Live View on, I can see everything but not edit it obviously. Split code/design doesn't work unless Live View is turned on.
No idea why this is, I'm an occassional user of DW (CS6 Win7). This is a site which I've created, edited and published before all on the same workstation.
Thanks in advance,
Simon.

First, validate your HTML and CSS code. Fix any reported errors. CS6 Design View is much less forgiving of coding errors than earlier versions were. A blank screen can be caused by missing semi-colons in your CSS, orphaned <div> tags, etc..
Code Validation Tools
CSS - http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/
HTML - http://validator.w3.org/
If after cleaning your code you still have problems, upload your page and supporting files to your web server, come back here and post the URL so we can take a look at it.

Jsp Design view not working

For some reason I can't create or edit jsp files within the design view. I get a blank screen with the following text in the middle "Type, paste, or drag content onto this blank page, or drag and drop a component from the palette.
The weird thing is that a few jsp pages that I try to edit will work but most of them won't display anymore. They were working a day or so ago.
Does anyone have any idea what is wrong?
I am running Studio Edition Version 10.1.3.0.4 (SU5).
Please, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Shay,
I created a new jsf jsp page like the following:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<%@ page contentType="text/html;charset=windows-1252"%>
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/html" prefix="h"%>
<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsf/core" prefix="f"%>
<f:view>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type"
content="text/html; charset=windows-1252"/>
<title>one</title>
</head>
<body><h:form></h:form></body>
</html>
</f:view>
When I go to the design view, I get the following messages on the console

Please help.....

Design View Not Working Properly

Hi, I save my web site files as .php and I'm using DW CS5. When I switch to Design View all I get are a couple of icons. Why won't it display the page for me?

Save file as 'test.html'
If you still cannot see anything in design view, use the validation tools below and fix reported errors.
Code Validation Tools
CSS - http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/
HTML - http://validator.w3.org/
If you're still not seeing anything in Design View, post your code into the web forum with >> Syntax highlighting > Plain.
Code in the web forum looks like this.

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
