Design view not showing actual layout
I have a test page where I have a navigation div element
created and it floats to the left. When I preview the page in IE,
this navigation div element shows up as it should on the left part
of the page but in the Design view of Dreamweaver CS3, the nav
element box is centered and it makes it difficult if not impossible
to type my content in because the nav box is sitting dead in the
middle of the page where the content is supposed to go. Please
help.
Let's see the page's code, please. Can you post a link to it?

Design view not showing in fluid layout
I can not turn on my design view, only live view is showing
CC2014.1 and later no longer have a Design View while using Fluid Grids. This has been discussed here at some length, in multiple threads. If you would like to get Design View back, you can add the X shown below in your fluid grid's .css file...
Dreamweaver Fluid Grid Properties
dw-num-cols-mobile: X 4;
dw-num-cols-tablet: 8;
dw-num-cols-desktop: 12;

CS3 - Design View not showing externally linked images
In CS3 Design View, externally linked images are not showing
up... i am only getting the place holder.
To prempt some questions:
1/ Links are correct and complete - apart from the fact that
they show up when previewing in the browser(s) - i have
crosschecked
2/ There are no spaces in the url
3/ In the 'View' menu, 'Display External Files' is checked
I had this problem before and escargo suggested saving and
rebooting. It worked then but strangely, today, that file is again
showing some of the externally linked images but not all. And on a
new file, created today, none of the externally linked images are
showing up... :(
I'm sure there's a simple solution to the problem... anyone
have any idea what it could be?
Thanks and cheers,
JJNope. Some show - some don't.

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.

DW MX2004 design view not showing
Hi... I'm working in split mode in DWMX2004. The background
image is bigger than the design window. No matter what I do, I
cannot scroll to the top of the page to add content. There is no
scroll bar on the right side. I have minimized and stretched the
page, I have restored the page to full size. I cannot get it to
show the whole page. BTW, even if working in just design view, I
cannot get to the top of the page. Very frustrating to say the
least... please, help?
TIA
Mike T.Did you just insert the image into a blank document, or have
you declared
this image as the background to a container.
You need to use css to declare this image as a background
image for the
table itself or for a div (do not use layers as your main way
to construct
a page-you'll only end up with more headaches :)

Design View Not Showing Up In Master On Plan View Page
Five days ago I downloaded a trial version of Muse and tried building Katies-cafe. Everything went OK except that the Design view is not showing up in the Master. Any Ideas? I disabled and re-enabled the thumbnail checkmarkin Plan view, and I also tried reseting the page properties in Design View, but it still doesn't work.
Hi smartserpent,
Can you post a screenshot of what you are seeing?

-->The page contains PHP markup, but it's not any that should interfere with your seeing something in Design view. What is interfering with that is some invalid HTML on the page. For example -
<font size="1">American Telecommunications Certification Body</font><br></td>
</td>
(note the </td> followed by another </td>)
If I remove that extra </td> then your Design view becomes visible. There are at least two other problems on this page -
There is no doctype - thus, the page will be rendered by all browsers in QUIRKS mode. That's a bad thing. You should use an HTML 4.01 Transitoinal doctype on this and other pages.
There is an improperly nested <font> tag here -
<b><font size="2" color="#FF0000">BuildAPlane Announces Teachers’ Day at AirVenture! >></b></font>
I'd fix all of these if I were you.
The page also contains PHP scripting that is connecting to an online database, and extracting information that is used to populate the <select> tag in the projects form. You will not see that tag populated with options in Design view. To see it, you would need to have Apache and PHP installed, and have a testing server defined for this site. Even then, you would only see that tag populated in Live view or on Preview, not in Design view. -
In the design view of a jsff file, only the structure of the af components is shown. Any advice?
(seems this forum does support images ...)
Edited by: Leon Zeng on May 3, 2013 10:39 AMHi Leon,
I have seen this behaviour after the use of "Convert to .."
e.g. after convert of af:inputText (Number) to af:outputText
"Convert to .." did not remove <af:convertNumber>
After remove of <af:convertNumber> in the "Source" I got my design view back.
Best,
Kees. -
Design view not showing links in template
Newbie here,
I have downloaded a template from the web, that i wish to
use, but when i try and insert an article onto DW, from
ezinearticle using the html code supplied and pasting into the code
view, the result in the design view is that the links that appeared
on the LHS have disappeared. I need these links to be able to
publish further content onto different pages.
Kind regards
shuks123Hi smartserpent,

I am unable to get the design view to work unless I have Live View open in which case my properties box is unavailalbe. I did have "overflow hidden" in my CSS but I deleted it, closed Dreamweaver and it still doesn't work. When I right click and go to Element View, Full and Hidden are grayed out. Only Reset is available which doesn't do anything.
You have a couple invalid formatted comments on the page which could be causing display issues for your "Title Starts Here" type of comments. The comment tag is only <!-- Comment Goes Here -->. I think those extra hyphens "-" might be causing an issue with the Design View and confusing Dreamweaver. Additionally in your footer, you have 2 open <p> tags but only one closing </p> tag. That needs to be fixed as well. It looks like the one around the address portion is missing, copyright seems fine.
Lastly, you have some CSS errors in that document, but those shouldn't be causing the issue you are describing although they could cause browser issues that you may want to look into.

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 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?...
AdamCould 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. -
Why do views not show up in HTML DB?
All,
When I create a new view with SQL/Plus why doesn't it show up in HTML DB? Views that were created previously (before install of HTML DB) are visable.
ThanksJust FYI, I had a problem with views not showing up when using the wizards. Reported the problem and was told it was a bug. Workaround was to create my pages from scratch and explicitly reference the tables instead of the views.
Although HTML DB could handle some views, views that were based upon other views or where there were several layers of views seem to give HTML DB a problem. -
Why is the icon for street view not showing up on the left side of the location on the maps app?
Because the included Maps app no longer gets the maps data from Google, so no more street view.
You can get a free Google Maps app from the iTunes App Store. -
Live View worse than Design view, both bad, CSS & layout not applying
Howdy,
So I'm trying to do some work on the the page seen here:
http://www.juniper.net/us/en/products-services/network-management/
(I've attached a screenshot of it.)
I view the source for that page and copy it into a new blank page in code view using DW CS4.
I copy all the relevant related files, as far as I know, including at least all the CSS and image files.
I view the page in Design View, and some of the styles, primarily on the text are clearly being applied. The layout, though, is all wrong, with the navigation spread out over the top without any text styling or background images, tho a few other images do show up (one in the header area and some in the body, ones that should all be about in the same directory), and the content area pushed waay out the right.
Live View is even worse, no styling at all on any of the text, and it doesn't seem to be able to locate any of the images, so it's all plain default HTML-styled text.
This is a fresh installation of CS4.
DW 8 seemed to have a similar problem rendering this layout in design view, but appplying a few design-time stylesheets, ones that should have been applying, but somehow weren't, seemed to do it, or at least pretty close. That same strategem did not seem to work here. Plus, doesn't the fact that the correct stylesheets show up as "related files" in the related files bar mean that DW knows about them and are/should be doing its level best to be applying them already?
I'm not sure how much more I can share, but does anyone have any thoughts about how to make DW render correctly?So here's a little more info for a more complete picture of the problem...
I do have access to the original CSS, JS, and image files...When I said that I copied all the files that I believe to be relevant, I mean that I downloaded all the files from the \assets and \shared directories from the content management system, which should contain all the CSS, JS, and image files that the page uses.
When I view the file into which I saved the page's View Source on my testing server via an actual browser window, the page looks as expected.
So, to sum up:
All the support files and "related files" seem to be in place.
When viewed through a browser fed by a web server, the file/page looks as expected. Checked in Firefox v3.5.3, IE 8, and Chrome v3.0.195.24.
When viewed in Design View, the layout looks wonky, some of the styles seem not to be applied to the navigation/header area (notably, I guess, the positioning of the navigation and content area relative to the navigation, as well as some of the text styling on the navigation), and most if not all the styling (text formatting, layout) seems to be applying in the content area. The Related Files bar seems to list all the expected related files.
When viewed in Live View, no styling is being applied anywhere. Live View is based on an integrated WebKIT browser, so it should render most closely to Chrome, right?
I know little to nothing about relevant web server configuration. Could it be possible there's some web server configuration that's set up on Juniper's web server that Dreamweaver doesn't mimic, at least by default? Are there web server configuration settings for the integrated Live View "server" that I could check?
