Dreamweaver 8 freeze in Code-View

I have a Site: ASP/VBScript; Testserver local;
When I open my function libary (file: funktion.asp with 5000
lines) and go to the Code-View and click into the code
Dreamweaver 8 freeze. I know I'm not the only one with this
problem, but I didn't find a fix/workaround.
It should by a Dreamweaver/File problem, because all
Developer in my Team (five developer) have the same problem.
With DW MX 2004 we had no problems! Since last week we use DW
8.0.2 on different machines.

Can you please submit a bug report so we can get your file?:

  • Dreamweaver freezes on design view

    I am having issues with dreamweaver freezing in design view.  when i click on design view, it crashes, and i have to restart.  i have tried multiple installs, as well as uncheck "display external files".  what else could be the issue?  is there a new update for it that may fix this?

    I wish I had the answer to that question myself.  I just purchased Dreamweaver 6 this morning.  The program is freezing upon opening any document.  If I wait long enough,,  it un-freezes just long enough to start working on the file.  Then in less than a minute it freezes yet again.  I have not been able to find any help regarding this situation. I have tried every single suggestion that I could find,, but nothing seems to work. 

  • Zoom  in code view

    So I love code view, allows me to really keep everything
    clean. But the txt is a bit too small. I know I can zoom with my
    os, but is there a way to do this only in dreamweaver code view?
    Thought about changing the code font and size, but not sure if that
    will effect page rendering
    ???

    pick a font and a size. it has nothing to do with what shows
    in a browser.
    make it 300pt zebra bold.

  • Getting rid of Multiple Spaces in Code View (after Copying/Pasting)

    Hello,
    I'm trying to find a way to get rid of multiple spaces between words in Dreamweaver CS3's code view.
    Oftentimes, when I copy/paste text from elsewhere (e-mail, website, etc), the Dreamweaver code shows up with multiple spaces. Normally, that wouldn't be problem -- except that my blog's auto-tag plug-in doesn't detect selected phrases when there are multiple spaces between words, e.g., it'll detect "Swiss Alps" in a post but not "Swiss  Alps" (notice the extra space between words in the second phrase).
    If at all possible, I'd like to be able to keep Dreamweaver's text formatting option when I copy and paste, as that means I don't need to manually put words in bold/italics.So, is there a way to keep that option while getting rid of all the extra spacing between words?
    By the way, I'm familiar with Wordpress CSS, but not with Dreamweaver CSS. Not sure if there's any difference.
    Any assistance would be much appreciated.

    I make it a point to never paste formatted text into HTML pages.  Formatted text from MS Office usually contains a variety of junk you don't want and I don't have that much faith in MS Word code removal tools.
    Bold and Italics from Word or Outlook should be changed to current HTML tags of <strong> for bold and <em> or emphasis for italics anyway.  Also see Logical Tags here:
    http://www.htmlcodetutorial.com/logical.html
    Find and replace is good for removing whitespace if you know how to do it correctly. Make backup copies just in case things go wrong.  http://www.tjkdesign.com/articles/whitespace.asp

  • Dreamweaver cs6 keeps adding br tags in code view

    Hi
    I've just upgraded to Dreamweaver cs6 and am having trouble with the code view. When typing in <script> tags or <style> tags I keep getting two <br> tags automatically inserted. It is really annoying as it puts them on two lines and takes time to remove them and completely disrupts your flow when typing code or css.
    Any suggestions on how to prevent this happening?
    Thanks.

    Thanks David - I think that may well explain it. It seems to happen mostly when adding a { in code or CSS. I wonder if I'm still holding the shift key when I hit enter for a new line. I'm trying Dreamweaver again after using visual studio for the last 5 years or so. I wonder if I can just change the keyboard shortcut.

  • Why won't Dreamweaver code view allow me to select from all of my system fonts?

    I am trying to change the font for my code view in Dreamweaver CC.  However, it does not let me choose from a list of all fonts installed on my computer...it just gives me about 50 or so random fonts (some of them glyph fonts which are completely useless in this scenario).  It doesn't even include basics like Courier.  I had previously been using CS4, and it allowed me to choose any font I wanted.  Any ideas?

    I've just checked Dreamweaver CC on my MacBook Air. I don't know whether it lists every single font on my machine, but the list was very long. It certainly wasn't just a short, random list. Are you trying to change the Code view font in the right place?

  • ClearType makes fonts in Dreamweaver code view hard to read

    I'm using Dreamweaver 8.0.2 with Windows Vista Business. As
    you know, Vista has a feature called "ClearType," which is supposed
    to help smooth out the on-screen fonts. It normally does do this,
    but for some reason, in Dreamweaver code view, some of the edges of
    fonts are cut off, making it very difficult to read at times. See
    pic here:
    http://www.klife.com/fontscutoff.jpg
    I've tried changing the display fonts within Dreamweaver
    (from Courier New to Arial, etc.), but it doesn't help. Actually,
    Arial is worse. But here's what fixes it: turning off ClearType. I
    haven't noticed ClearType messing any fonts up in programs except
    for Dreamweaver. Why is DW doing this and is there anything I can
    do to get ClearType to work with it?

    You might want to try Clear Type Tuner. It is a Microsoft
    tool to let you
    adjust your clear type settings to your liking. It was
    written for XP. I'm
    not sure if they have a Vista version out yet, but the XP
    version might
    work.

    Here is an online version, which I have not tried.

  • Dreamweaver code view letter spacing issue

    Good Morning at all,
    This morning when i've started DreamWeaver i've seen something change.
    As you can see in the picture below in the code view, the letters spacing is became really bigger than the normal.
    In the picture below i've done a piece of code with my dreamweaver in the top and in the bottom with one of my friend.
    When i try to change the font from the preferences menu (for example Verdana) the problem seems to solve but when i change again to Courrier New the problem return.
    What can i do?
    For me it is really frustrating to work with this problem and I do not understand why it bothers me so much,
    Thanks for the help guyes!
    Manuel.

    To change code formatting, go to Edit > Preferences > Code > Indent.  Then use Command > Apply Source Formatting.

  • Dreamweaver: code view - building links

    Working in code view, does Dreamweaver have prefs to have the following behaviour with respect to creating links:
    User selects some text in a sentence that will be the anchor for the link.
    User selects an html file from the project file list.
    User drags the file and drops it on to the text that will form the anchor.
    What happens:
    The selected' text is replaced by the contents of the title tag in the html file that was dropped onto it.
    What the user might expect to happen (because it's the quick and intuitive way to build links but no other editor appears to have this functionality, apart from Homesite):
    The selected text becomes the anchor of a link to the file that's just been dropped onto it.
    Is there a pref in Dreamweaver that allows me to change this behaviour?
    Mark

    Is there a pref in Dreamweaver that allows me to change this behaviour?
    No, but you can always select the text and use the bull's-eye icon to drag and drop on the filename, an even more intuitive way to make a link.

  • Dreamweaver CC crashes when switching from code view to design view

    I am experiencing a recent problem with a file I am currently working. When I switch from code view to design view Dreamweaver crashes and requests a shut down. Other files seem to work without a problem. This particular files has 3 cascading EdgeAnimation CC files that are selected by media queries. I can test the page online without a problem but not in design or live view.

    Since your new page didn't crash, this leads me to believe that you have some critical errors and/or conflicts in your other page(s).
    Try running your code through the W3C validation tools.

  • How do I stop Dreamweaver from replaceing " with È while in code view

    Here is my problem (DWCS5 Version):
    I open DreamWeaver and all is fine. I only use code view.
    As I work I might open .cfm files, or even (it seems) open a browser - and when I return to writing my code, when I type " Dreamweaver types È
    " is typed as È
    ' is typed as è
    The only way to stop is is close Dreamweaver and reopen. Then the coding works great for that file until I visit another file I opend or even a browser that was open. It's not every file that I open or page that I visit. I've yet to determine what is happening.
    It feels like dreamweaver is somehow changing character sets.
    For example, DreamWeaver is currently messed up replacing characters, but it works fine filling out this post.
    Help!

    Have you tried clearing the cache file?

  • Dreamweaver CC automatically deletes code in code view and elements in design view

    When I open a file in Dreamweaver, it automatically shows a * next to the filename - showing it has been edited.
    Then often when I select some code in code view, or an element in design view (such as a table, an image, some text) it is suddenly deleted.
    The problem is especially bad (happens without fail) if I am switching between programs. But also happens when I'm not switching.
    I do not have this problem on a different user account.
    I have reinstalled Dreamweaver three times now. Also renamed preference and configuration folders. Tried with a wired mouse and keyboard. Nothing has worked.
    I can't think what I did to cause this. I installed MAMP recently - but have uninstalled it correctly I think.
    I had an issue with one file in which there were about 30 Spry collapsible panels. I kept getting this warning:
    "A script in file Macintosh HD:Applications:Adobe Dreamweaver CC:Configuration:Shared:Spry:DesignTime:EditingUtils.js has been running for a long time. Do you want to continue?"
    I have to click 'yes' many times to get into the file, and the warning keeps coming up while the file is open.
    However, my big issue of DW CC deleting code and elements happens whether or not this particular file is open.
    So this may have nothing to do with it.
    Any ideas anyone?
    Adobe's customer service has not helped. In fact, I have not even been able to get through to anyone on the phone - having waited literally hours listening to music, and getting shunted from person to person. And then their promised 'call backs' never happen.
    Thanks,
    - Greg

  • Code view not in synch with Design view (Dreamweaver CS3)

    Hello All,
    On my main work PC, I am running Dreamweaver CS3. When I am
    working in split view (with both Design and Code view visible) when
    I click on an element (say, a button) in Design view, the code view
    automatically shows me the code for the element that I am working
    on. That way, if I need to manually edit the code, I can click on
    the Code view and make the appropriate changes.
    On my laptop I am also running Dreamweaver CS3 However, when
    I am working in split view and I click on a element in Design view,
    my code view does NOT update itself and continues to show the last
    bit of code I was working on in Code view. While this could come in
    handy at times where i want design view and code view to show me
    two different things, I mostly would like code view to update
    automatically. Currently the only way I can get code view to update
    on my laptop is to hit the "refresh design view (F5)" button. Is
    there a way to do this automatically? Is this an option in
    Dreamweaver preferences because I don't see it anywhere.
    Thanks so much for your help.

  • In dreamweaver cs6 12.0, build 5842, there is no syntax coloring on main code view?

    In my dreamweaver CS6, why is there no syntax coloring showing on the main code view window on php or any files? It works in window>code inspector, but this does not have all the same functionality. ther is no preferences icon anywhere that I can see to turn this feature on or off? This used to work until just recently. Nothing on google, but the main basics. I tried checking preferences under syntax coloring and all is okay and shows color. I also reinstalled and restarted PC. I am on a macbook with retina display. on mountain lion with latest updates. CS6 is different than cs5 in menus. Please help soon!

    Thanks for the help. I didn't think the retina did, I just wanted to help clarify what I was working with. I tried changing the external editor also and that got the split design view working again, but still no code coloring gosh darnit.
