Without live view.

Livecycle Designer - Design View and Hierarchy Blank - Assistance Sought

12 months ago I succesfully installed Livecycle designer 8.0. Recently tried again on a new laptop with GUI 720 and decided to try Livecycle 8.2. It installs OK.
I am using Livecycle from an ABAP SAP system.
The problems come when I fire up the layout of an existing form from transaction SFP. Livecycle Designer starts OK. However the Design View is blank and the Hierarchy only contains a blank subform. The DataView however does list all the data fields on the form.
I have tried installing Livecycle Designer 8.0 and 8.1 as well but always get this same result.
Interestingly if I take a copy of an active form saved as a pdf (as it being displayed as part of an application in the portal) and open it using Livecycle Designer outside of the GUI (by executing command formdesigner.exe located in the windows "program files" installation directory) then I get all the details of the form showing correctly.
Any ideas greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Thank you very much Otto.
This a very useful tip but sadly does not apply in this case where both the logon language and language of the forms are English. The locale setting on the form display is also English.I have tried English Euro and English US as just in case this does make any difference, but without success.
When I attempt to create or change a form I get a run time error MESSAGE_TYPE_X with message class CNDP and message number 006. This suggests incorrect GUI, Kernel or GUI patch. I do not know of any required GUI 720 patches and can find nothing relevant on OSS.
If no-one responding on SDN can assist in a week or so I will raise a call with SAP. I will post the results (even if they are embarrassing for me).

Design View showing collapsed components.

Ever since I add tomahawk Menu component in my project, all other components are not shown properly in the design view of jdeveloper. I added the menu component to one file and all the files in the project are now showing collapsed view (Only parent component is shown that too in a box). I tried restarting jdeveloper but the problem still remains. I cannot add/edit any components in design view now because of the above reason. How do I go about now?

Hi,
it appears that there is a problem with the WYSIWYG editor and 3rd party components not rendering properly. The outline view is a fallback that JDeveloper uses when it can't show the WYSIWYG (its the outline view). Not sure if you have a support contract inwhich case you could file this as a bug? If not, I'll put that down on my list of issues to track and follow up on.
thanks

Design view showing only background.

I'm working with Dreamweaver MX 2004. Suddenly the design view for one of my pages is showing only the background. The background is part of an external style sheet. There are no scroll bars so it's not just off to the side. The page with the exact same code is online and looks right. If anyone can help me I'd sure appreciate it.

When things go wrong, validate code & check for errors.
CSS - http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/
HTML - http://validator.w3.org/
If that doesn't help, post the URL to your problem page.

Canvas view shows only blank cavas

When I went to re-open a file I was working on during my last session, I am now unable to view any of the the objects in the "editing" view of Xcelsius. The canvas is completely blank (basic blue background, no grid showing).
However, when I go to preview the object, the .swf build/result is fine, just as I left it, and I can edit the objects (blindly) in the bject browser. I can not figure out whay this is so - is this human (my) error, or is there a fix?
BTW - this does not occur in other files that I have been working on, nor does it occur is previous versions of the same file that I have saved in the past.
Please advise.

Jamie,
This is what i do whenever i face this problem...
--> Open a new blank canvas
--> Copy all the objects from Object Browser from your old dashboard and paste it in new blank new canvas
You should be able view the dashboard
Hope this helps...

JSPX Design View shows 'boxes' instead of WYSIWYG

For a particular project I've just created to examine/try some custom JSF tags, when I edit mypage.jspx file, I get a display of nested boxes instead of a WYSIWYG view of the mypage.jspx page.
This does not happen in a similar project that I've already completed & can display a .jspx from that project in a window next to the one displaying the boxes for mypage.jspx.
Any ideas how to get it to display correctly?
The code of the page that doesn't display correctly is below:

Doing this showed me that I was missing a library - JSTL.
I added the JSTL 1.2 library, then closed and re-opened the .jspx and am seeing the page correctly.
I am still getting an error when loading one of the 2 pages in the project. In this case an ADF/JSF only page. The page does display properly, but I get an error message in the log.
The error is:

Dreamweaver CS6 for Mac: Is there a way to display the file path in Design View?

Under Windows, DW's Design View shows you the path to the current file, right next to the document tab. I noticed the Mac version omits this handy feature. For those of us who work with lots of similarly named files distinguished only by folders, being able to quickly see what folder we're in is crucial. (see image below -- that's where Windows shows you the path, but is blank in Mac)
Is there something I'm missing, or some way to get that functioning? I know that I can see the path if I switch to Live View, but that is kludgy and breaks my workflow.

I use CoderPlus workspace & tabbed panels. For me, the file url is on the far right side. See screenshot.
If you click the "Page Icon" in upper right corner to tile, the URL shows on the left side.

Problem with my Design View

I am not able to see anything on my Design view anymore. It just displays a blank page eventhough the Code view displays properly the HTML code for the page, and my web browser displays properly the web page. I must have toggled something by mistake or pressed the wrong button, but something has caused my Design view to blank out! I I tried to open other web sites that I had previously created, and I still get the same problem, nothing shows on Design view eventhough the Code view displays correctly the HTML . I have restarted Dremweaver but the problem did not go away, and I have restarted my computer but it does not help either. Does anyone know what could have caused this? And how do I get my Design view to display again. Thanks!

Please ignore this question as I found the problem. I had simply turned on the Head Content on the View Options drop down menu.
When I turn it off the Design view show up again.

A column in 4i showing Null & Blank simultaneously but not in 10g

Hi ,
Presently working on migrating data from discoverer 4i to discoverer 10g and post migration it seems to be succesful.
Though currently in a report we are facing the following issue :
A column in 4i viewer showing Null & Blank simultaneously but its not so in 10g.In 10g it is showing NULL only.
I tried working out with OPTION / Sheet----> Null and
even with FORMAT DATA / TEXT giving the category as NONE(depicting the format as in Database)
There was no difference with the above.
Kindly advice me regarding the above.
Regards
Sajit.

Hi,
Check the aggregation methods in the 4i and in the new version

Design view in DW MX 2004 v7.0.1

How can I set up the design view to show me what the page
actually looks like? I'm going back to doing tabled webpages
because it obviously can't handle CSS div tags, but the design view
shows my tables (rows/columns) with dashed lines, a bunch of green
arrows and pixel widths, etc. All I want to see is what the page
looks like. Am I screwed and have to alt+tab over to an IE window
to view my changes? Note: I'm working on a prototype for a
website-these are just going to be click-thru screens (no real
data, no 508 compliance, IE only, internal application).

> How can I set up the design view to show me what the

Actually looks like? In which browser? In which version? In
short, there
is no way to do this. Preview in the desired browsers to see
what it
actually looks like. And code the page so that it validates
to get the most
reliable cross-browser rendering - but be aware, DMX2004 is
not the best at
rendering CSS layouts.
> it obviously can't handle CSS div tags
Huh?

Inserting tabbed navigation code makes my web page not display in design view..

Hi everyone..
I am on Dreamweaver 8 for MAC, and was working on a couple of web pages..these pages included divs and tables. But when I tried inserting a tabbed navigation I found at:
http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex17/tabcontent.htm
In a nutshell, it asked me for step 1 to:
Step 1: Insert the below CSS and script into the HEAD section of your page:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="tabcontent.css" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="tabcontent.js">
* Tab Content script v2.2- © Dynamic Drive DHTML code library (www.dynamicdrive.com)
* This notice MUST stay intact for legal use
* Visit Dynamic Drive at http://www.dynamicdrive.com/ for full source code
</script>
The next step was this:
Step 2: Finally, simply add the below HTML to where you wish the Tab Content to appear on the page:
<h3>Demo #1- Basic implementation</h3>
<ul id="countrytabs" class="shadetabs">
<li><a href="#" rel="country1" class="selected">Tab 1</a></li>
<li><a href="#" rel="country2">Tab 2</a></li>
<li><a href="#" rel="country3">Tab 3</a></li>
<li><a href="#" rel="country4">Tab 4</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.dynamicdrive.com">Dynamic Drive</a></li>
</ul>
<div style="border:1px solid gray; width:450px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 10px">
<div id="country1" class="tabcontent">
Tab content 1 here<br />Tab content 1 here<br />
</div>
<div id="country2" class="tabcontent">
Tab content 2 here<br />Tab content 2 here<br />
</div>
<div id="country3" class="tabcontent">
Tab content 3 here<br />Tab content 3 here<br />
</div>
<div id="country4" class="tabcontent">
Tab content 4 here<br />Tab content 4 here<br />
</div>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
var countries=new ddtabcontent("countrytabs")
countries.setpersist(true)
countries.setselectedClassTarget("link") //"link" or "linkparent"
countries.init()
</script>
<p><a href="javascript:countries.cycleit('prev')" style="margin-right: 25px; text-decoration:none">Back</a> <a href="javascript: countries.expandit(3)">Click here to select last tab</a> <a href="javascript:countries.cycleit('next')" style="margin-left: 25px; text-decoration:none">Forward</a></p>

Well, I did all the steps required, but when I put this inside a div I had inside a table, all of a sudden I couldnt see anything in my design view, only two tables that arent even the same size..When I take out all this code, I get back my regular page..Can I see this tabbed navigation in my design view? Unfortunately, I dont have the spry widgets since I am on Dreamweaver 8..If I preview it in both Safari and Firefox (on Mac Firefox/3.0.8) (Safari 3.2.1) I can see everything fine, including the tabbed navigation..But designing in code isnt really helpful because I want to see what it looks like in design view, in case we change things-its just easier for me to work on..So I assume there is something in this code that is making my design view show nothing..
Update:I tried taking out the code again, but this time, I couldnt see anything again, even without this code..
I know that I can go to validation website, and I got a lot of errors-but all the pages I have that are in the same style have those same errors too—and they display fine..its only when I insert this specific piece of code that everything goes haywire..Is it even possible to view tabbed navigations (like the one in the above link) inside of Dreamweaver Design View?
Any help would be appreciated..

DW8 doesn't render any dynamic content, so I'd say it's a no go. You'll just have to live with that limitation or upgrade to CS4...

Design View not matching Browser View

I mostly work in Design View and sometimes I notice there are extreme differences in what I am seeing in Design View and what I see when I preview the site with various browsers.
I now have a footer that I can't even see in design view but when I preview in a browser it's placed perfectly at the bottom of my main div. I later noticed that it's at the very top of the design view
out of view so that the very bottom of my footer div is barely showing on the very top of my design view window. Do I have code issues that are interfering? I am a complete newbie with code by the way.
My site is at: dev.soundscapemedia.com
Many thanks

Design view should never be considered accurate. It is Dreamweaver's rough guestimation of how things will look if rendered in a browser. The only "view" that may be considered accurate is the "Live" view - because it actually is rendered using a browser engine. Even with Live view though, one should always test against several major browsers.
So my suggestion/solution would be to ignore whatever crazy stuff Design view shows and just make sure you code to web standards and preview in a browser (or use Live view).
Remember: Design view is only a rough guestimate by Dreamweaver and should not be considered accurate.

Is design view broken in DW CC 2014.1?

i open an html file to edit it
sometimes DW design view shows the styles in the doc
sometimes DW design view doesn't show the styles in the doc
...if DW happens to be showing the styles, that sometimes lasts for a while and stops.
i don't know if DW is stripping code -- insisting on some new "design principles" advocated by the lovely people who deprecated the center tag -- or if DW design view is just broken -- or what.
can you fill me in?

Usually what you describe is caused by html errors in your code. Run your page through the validator at http://validator.w3.org and clean up any errors found.
If you're working with clean code and the problem persists, post a link to your page here so we can take a look at what's going on.

REM Font Sizes Enlarged in Design View

I've purchased DW CC, v 13.2 Build 6471. Fonts in px and em display correctly in Design view and Live Mode. However, font sizes in rem, while rendered correctly in live mode, appear to be multiplied by a factor of 10 in regular Design view. Here is a basic code example with three text sizes:
Here's what Live View renders:
But, this is what Design View shows:
Note that the html base font is set to 100%. Am I missing something else here? Is anyone able to duplicate this problem?
Regards, Chris Niestepski

Thank you, Subhadeep! Whenever I'm not imagining things, that's good news!
Now, two questions:
1) Should this be considered a "bug" in DW fork?
I believe so. The fork appears to be multiplying the rem value by a factor of 10. This throws the dimensions and alignment so much as to make Design view useless when using rem.
2) I'm not the first to use rem with DW. What are users using as a work-around?
If the user unchecks View > Display Styles, that largly goes against the purpose of Design View.
The user can also do this in the CSS:
font-size: 1rem;
font-size: 1px; /* Comment for Upload */ OR
font-size: 1rem;
font-size: 1em; /* Comment for Upload */
This lets you work while in DW but doubles the work required, especially for elastic layouts. And the idea of rem was so the user didn't have to do so many math calculations and worry about inhereitance as with em.
Any ideas?
