Design View suddenly seems broken

This morning, my pages were displaying in DW CS4's Design
View the way they
always have, with the CSS and includes . This afternoon, they
display in
Design View as if they had no CSS sheet attached and no
includes. I can't
think of any changes to the code that would cause this to
happen to all of
the pages on this one site. When I upload the pages to the
server, they
display correctly.
Any ideas why this might be happening and what I can do about
it?
Thanks very much in advance,

  • Design View suddenly incorrect, Web view looks fine

    I uploaded my site and, after doing so, shut down Dreamweaver. The next day, when I opened it again, my pages in Design View looked completely wrong.  The code seems to be fine and when I preview the pages in Google Chrome they look perfect; all the links work, it's all laid-out correctly. I am semi-new to all this; I need to be able to update the site but don't want to risk uploading over a now usable website and render it unusable.
    If you need screenshots, let me know, but basically, design view is not being reliable (at all) right now.
    Looked at the other post showing same problem but it didn't seem to relate.
    I am using Dreamweaver CS3 with Windows XP Home Edition.

    As Bregent says, you have an unclosed div, hence the problem with the page.   Other couple of errors you may want to fix as well.  Putting the page through a validator always helps to find initial problems  :-)
    Results of putting your page through the validator:

    If you use the Firefox browser (which you should to check your pages), there is a toolbar add on that you can download, that includes a a validator tool that checks your pages directly from your own computer without having to upload the pages as you work.

  • 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.

  • Is there anyway to lock CSS rules?  What's happening in design view?

    Hi,
    I have no idea what I've  done, but I've accidentally  deleted some CSS rules.  Now my design view shows almost a random pattern, yet most things seem to still be working when I view it in a browser.
    So,
    Is there a way to lock CSS rules so that you don't accidentally loose them?  Is there a way to toggle them on and off?  Why does my design view suddenly look all whacked out?
    The jpg shows my design view and here is the link to the page.
    http://test.taffyproductions.com/reservations.htm

    You have an id set on one of the divs, but there is no rule for that ID selector:
    <div id="sidebar2-1"><img src="_images/sidebar2.jpg" alt="sidebar2" width="180" height="479" /></div>
    Change the id to sidebar2  and see what happens.  The page should fall back into place correctly.
    There is no way to 'lock' in styles, you just need to be careful on  editing the style rules as you go 
    You could always keep a backup copy of a stylesheet that works correctly and if you then want to play around with the rules, do so, but knowing that you have a backup copy if you need it.
    I'd also take a look at the naming convention you use for file names.  I'd not start a file name or folder with and underscore... some browsers may choke.  always better off starting a name with a letter, no characters, or numerals etc.,to be on the safe side.

  • CS5 design view blank

    I've been searching for the answer, nothing is helping.
    Yesterday I tried to open a website made for my class (linked to a template I believe) and design view suddenly showed up blank, also in split view. Code grayed out. Preview in browser and live view showing. I need design view to edit things like editable region and - for an entirely different project - tables. I'm an amateur and I don't know what I did. Clicked on something bad by complete mistake?
    Any advice would be much appreciated, it's urgent. :/

    I have a similar issue. Whenever I look at a page with php in it, the design view is completely absent. Additionally, the "Design View" and ""Live Code" buttons aregreyed out.

  • Design View differs from Live view problem

    I have Dreamweaver CS5.5 with Mac OS 10.7.3 on an iMac. I have the same set-up on a Macbook Pro 17
    The problem is that the Design view is showing different fonts and not picking up layout as per CSS style but the Live view is all correct.
    All is fine on the laptop so it is my iMac specific glytch
    I have checked the settings for diplaying CSS styles and they are ticked
    I have switched off the activation settings for Suitcase Fusion 3 in case of conflict there
    I have uninstalled and reinstalled Dreamweaver
    I think it a font-related problem as the design view only seems to want to display non-serif fonts.
    Am I doomed to only use the lap-top in my web work?
    I hope someone can advise as I am rather frustrated

    I think that's just the way it is...

  • Images broken in design view on new computer paths leading to old harddrive?

    I recently got a new imac and installed cs5 dreamweaver ( I was using dreamweaver 8 but it no longer works in mountain lion) . I redfined the site all was fine then I must have done something and now suddenly all my images are broken in design view and in brower and live view! The site shows the images online from the server but everything is broken in design view. The directory is a mess as I used way too may subfolders when I first did the site but it's too large to start over. I tried deleting the site from my harddrive all together and creating a new folder for it and just getting the entire site from the server but the images still don't show. I don't want to have to go to every page on the site and fix broken links! I can pull an image into a page by browsing to the folder on my harddrive but they are not appearing anymore on their own. If the images were uploaded originally from another computer and the folder being used now for the site on my harddrive is different that won't break the image paths will it? It all worked fine until a few days ago. What I don't understand is I thought the images wouldn't show if they were only on the server and not on my harddrive but since I just GOT the site from the server, all the images ARE now on my harddrive in the new folder so why still nothing showing? I I tried right clicking the broken images and showing design notes they seem to be lookin for a path to my old computer where the harddrive was named differently than it is now. Is there ANY way to fix this? What about renaming my harddrive to the old name?
    Greatful for any advice but I am very much a newbie so not sure I will be able to do what I need to.

    Spaces in folder/filenames are not a good practice.  Space are converted to %20 on the server.  DW's Design View often can't reconcile this.  Best advice is to remove the spaces and use underscores _ or hyphens -
    Rename this:
    http://www.thedqtimes.com/Jane_site/Lake%20Effects/lakeeffectsjdaughters.jpg
    http://www.thedqtimes.com/Becky%20H%20stories/Untitled-1.jpg
    To this:
    http://www.thedqtimes.com/Jane_site/Lake_Effects/lakeeffectsjdaughters.jpg
    http://www.thedqtimes.com/Becky_H_stories/Untitled-1.jpg
    Also, you have a misplaced <head> tag.  It needs to be above the Dynamic drive Javascript code.
    <head>
         <script> </script>
         <style> <style>
    </head>
    Some pages are missing an HTML doc type declaration.  This sends browsers into Quirks Mode.
    Use validation tools to check for other code errors.

  • JSF Design view broken, showing tags as blocks instead of preview

    I'm using jDev Build JDEVADF_11.1.2.3.0_GENERIC_120914.0223.6276.1
    but this has happened to me several times before with previous versions of jDev.
    All of the sudden after restarting jDev the design view for all my jsf pages look broken, showing only tag blocks, and not the design view it was showing previously. Why is this? what happened?
    The only fix I found on this forum was to remove the system directory (should be somewhere like: C:\Documents and Settings\yourUser\Application Data\JDeveloper\system11.1.1.3.37.56.60 ) and let jDev create a new one. But then I have to reconfigure everything again, which can be frustrating.
    Can anyone explain what's going on here, and if there's a better way to fix my jDev when this happens?

  • How can I view photos I downloaded 2-3 years ago and which suddenly seem to have disappeared. Only photos taken within the past 12 months are visible.

    How can I view photos I downloaded 2-3 years ago and which suddenly seem to have disappeared. Only photos taken within the past 12 months are visible.

    There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
    - What version of iPhoto. Version 8.1.2
    - What version of the Operating System. OSX 10.9.4
    - Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
    When I open iPhoto, only the most recent photos are shown (last 12 months)
    - History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages? This has been going on for several weeks now. There are no error messages, but yes, I had an update in the system (QuarkXPress 10.1), and the problem has occurred from that day.
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue. I tried to find out where the problem came from, but found no solution.
    - Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto? No
    Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.
    Thank you so much for offering help. I am not a proficient user of the system.

    Its because your table code is broken. I had a job this morning wading through it so I eventually selected just the from part - <form>    </form> - which I believe is intact and dumped it in another DW file.
    If you can't find the broken or missing tag/s can I suggest you do this and rebuild the outer table.

  • Design view broken in CS5

    In the last week or so, Design view in CS5 has become completely broken for me.
    I usually use Code View, but sometimes it's handy to switch to Design view or Split view, which are now always grayed out.
    I had installed the HTML 5 pack, not sure if that would cause the issue or not.  I completely removed it, but the other views are still grayed out.

    Long shot:
    -> Dreamweaver menu
    -> Preferences
    -> File Types / Editors
    What file types are listed in "Open in Code View"?
    I believe file types listed there open with Design & Split View disabled.
    Alternatively, try deleting your personal config folder and let DW re-build it.

  • Website suddenly goes to right of design view

    I don't know what i've done, but when i saved a webpage to a
    new folder and chose to update the links, the whole page now
    appears at the right of the page instaid of the center as it should
    be. This seems to happen with most other web pages that i now open
    with dream weaver.
    When opening the webpage in IE or FF it appears normal and in
    the center, its just in design view :S
    Can someone please help and tell me how i can correct it.
    Thank you

    It will appear normal on your dream weaver im faily sure, i
    think its just some configuration on dream weaver that needs
    sorting out.
    any ideas?

  • Dreamweaver CC - Design view images broken

    A client contacted me today about how his DW design view is no longer showing external images.  He thought it was the code. Now I don't use the design view very often, but it's doing it for me too. Every older project I open has broken images in design view.  These are all images that are online and are using external links (HTML emails) so there is no reason for those images to be broken.  They show in the Live View just fine, but my client can't edit with Live View.  So, I updated DW and then found that they are also offering what looks like a new version, DW CC 2014.  I downloaded that one and am having the same problem.
    I've searched for about an hour now and can't find any solution to this.  Does anyone know what is wrong here?

    Hello jennisue,
    Apologies for the issue you are facing but this is a known issue & sadly would not be taken up for a fix.
    I would urge you instead to try out the new Live view editing capabilities in DW CC 2014.

  • Combined code and design view broken

    I use Dreamweaver MX 2004 and normally work in the "split"
    (code and design) view. I just opened a site to work on it and that
    mode does not work - I click on the link in the toolbar, but it
    does not take effect. I also cannot make it work from
    View-->Code and Design. The individual Code and Design views DO
    work so I suspect it's a configuration problem. I checked
    Edit->Preferences->Filte Types/Editors, and .html is not
    listed in the "open in code view" dialog box. What would cause this
    feature to suddenly stop working? I've Googled every conceivable
    keyword and phrase to find an answer, without success. Has anyone
    else experienced this behavior?

    Never mind - figured it out. Duh, do I feel like a dummy! I
    had apparently dragged the bottom border of the code window all the
    way down, so the design view was hidden. Sorry!
