Dreamweaver CC 2014.1 design view gone - what next?!

First Adobe deprecates server behaviors, now they are removing design view?! I am stunned. Design View is the SOLE reason I use Dreamweaver! (It's more of a quick code navigator in split view.) Live view has NEVER worked in a practical and usable way, and still seems very quirky at best in this 2014.1 release.
Adobe, Please don't remove useful tools like this! What's next; dropping extension support? Some of us have to make a living using these tools.
Please help me understand, Adobe. Why not keep design view as an option?
...on to opening CS6 once again so I can continue actually working on projects...

Design View is still available for normal layouts. See screenshot.
If you're not seeing it in the selection list, you're working with Fluid Grid layouts. But don't panic. You have a couple of options.
Option #1 -- Trick DW into thinking it's a normal layout by putting an X in your FG Layout CSS file. Do this in Code View, not with Designer Panels.

    dw-num-cols-mobile:      X 4;
    dw-num-cols-tablet:        8;
    dw-num-cols-desktop:    12;
    dw-gutter-percentage:    25;
=====================================
Option #2 -- Drop back to CC 2014.0 (June Release) from these direct links:

How do I use Dreamweaver CC 2014.1 Live View to copy complex formatted text into web page?

Since Design View has been removed from Fluid Grid Layouts, and could be removed completely in next upgrade, I cannot use Live View to place complex text into my web pages.
Our business requires the listing of complex job descriptions on our web pages. Design View worked fine, Live View does not. Both examples are noted below.

Obviously, as seen above, I'm doing something wrong or Live View does not do all the functions that Design View use to do. I realize I can still access Design View in non-Fluid Grid Layout documents and that is my current work-around. I copy from my Word file into Design View available in non-Fluid, then copy that code into my Fluid Grid Layout document, not real efficient use of my time. And, even that work-around may not be available after the next upgrade.

Hans thank you for your reply and attention to this matter. Moreover, with your steeped expertise I do not, in any fashion, intend to be flippant or capricious.
However, I do not believe the reply is on point since I'm not discussing the insertion of an HTML tag/element; but rather, the placing of complex formatted text into my various web pages.
Design View and 2014.1 Live View seem to serve different functions. That is, Design View, for us, serves as a highly sophisticated HTML5 code generator that allows us to properly display complex formatted text that originally is created as a Word docx file. As I noted in my original post, the complex formatted text from the Word file is then pasted into Design View and thus properly renders on the web page. I invite you to try this yourself. Simply copy my properly formatted text in my original post (that can be found at "Using Design View the web page rendered this way:") to a Word file, and it will retain the complex formatting, then copy that Word file text to both Design View and 2014.1 Live View files. Please apprise me of your results.
Discussion has been had in at least two separate threads on the Design View disappearance in Fluid Grid. In https://forums.adobe.com/thread/1597260 staff member Lalita wrote "It would be helpful for us if you list the issues you are seeing with fluid grid live view editing." And in https://forums.adobe.com/message/6807088#6807088 staff member Subhadeep wrote "If you can list down the workflows you are trying while editing in Live View & the issues you are facing in doing so, it will help us understand what is amiss & suggest alternative workflows to do the same." I believe I've pointed out issues when attempting to use Live View for functions or work flow that customarily had been done in Design View.
Being a CC subscriber, if someone can provide me with a workflow using other additional Adobe products to get my complex formatted text from Word ultimately to my Dreamweaver web page, be it an image insert or whatever, I would take the suggestions.
The difference in the coding of my example in my original post is as follows.

It is readily apparent that Design View is a much needed code generator in the Dreamweaver product. Live View serves completely other, and needed, purposes. Therefore, I still, after all the forum discussions, do not understand why Design View has been removed from Fluid Grid.
Again Hans thank you for your reply. But unless I'm missing something, citation to the links you provided does not solve my problem. And that problem is this: If Design View is on its way out and thus will be completely removed from Dreamweaver at some point, then how do I provide my information (i.e. complex executive job descriptions) on my website?
Apparently a vote is taking place https://forums.adobe.com/ideas/3922 on the issue of placing Design View back into Fluid Grid. I do not understand why the need for two rather disjunctive functionalities are at the mercy of the democratic process. These are matters of engineering principles not "town hall gatherings".

DreamWeaver CS3 Crashing in Design View

Hi, Dreamweaver CS3 is crashing when try to view a page in
design view. It happens when I have links to images that are stored
on a web server that is currently unavailable. As soon as the web
server is running again there are no problems. If open the page in
code view, it works fine but as soon as I click on design view it
hangs. Has anyone else come across this problem? Thanks for your
help.

Ah, I see now.
Are you using the Live Data view or is that turned off?
Well, after searching these forums, I have found this KB
article:
http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb401608&sliceId=2
It is a known issue when using remote files. If you can maybe
the answer right now would be to develop the page with local file
paths and do a search and replace to add in the remote path before
you save the final version. Wish there was a solution, hopefully a
patch will be released soon because the thread I found was back
from April of this year and it only affects Intel Macs.

IB- design,configure- Activate What next?

I'm trying to understand the XI IS functionality by taking simple FILE->IS->FILE scenario.
After design,configure, scenario activate:
a)what gets published in IS (a daemon program in java/abap stack!!) from ID-directory?
b)what need to be checked in XI adapter framework (for file adapter, check the CC status in RWB component monitoring for green active status)? any other verification steps
c)SXMB_MONI is useful for monitoring the message, but I'm more interested in if the program exists for the scenario and if yes it is compiled ok in first place (similar to compiled java program eg: sample.java)
d) where to get more meaningful run time error message?
for example there was a error in message mapping per SXMB_MONI log
 <SAP:Stack>During the application mapping com/sap/xi/tf/_mm_unix_etc_pwd_ a com.sap.aii.utilxi.misc.api.BaseRuntimeException was thrown: RuntimeException in Message-Mapping transformatio~</SAP:Stack>
With help of Michal weblog (thanks) advise /people/michal.krawczyk2/blog/2005/09/16/xi-how-to-test-your-mapping-in-real-life-scenarios
tested the payload xml attachement in IR and fixed the datatype to match ID->Comm Channel->content conversion parameters.
Good, I could fix the error by referring web log.
Why SXMB_MONI is not spelling out understandable runtime error message?
(in place of no use exception msg "RuntimeException in Message-Mapping transformation"). May be there is more info somewhere!!
Checking if there is a way to get meaningful error message for message mapping runtime errors!
e) Is there a parsing tool to convert sender payload XML (from payload attachement xsmb_moni) to ID->message type structures? This would help fixing message mapping errors that exist in source(sender).
Thanks.

Hi
 Simple once activation is done then you need to go for testing
 In the File 2 File you will be using two adapters for configuration(ID)
 what gets published in IS (a daemon program in java/abap stack!!) from ID-
 directory? ---> In IS we can see how the message is processed based on the
 mapping declared in IR. All the things what and all happened in the IS we can
 check in the RWB (T.code : SXMB_MONITOR)
 U can see all the steps how the messaged prossed in IS and with meaning
 full errors. (I.e Root cause)
thanks

Design View - Can't believe it's gone!

I have been using Flash Builder since it was Flex Builder. Actually, since flex was introduced. Once of the best features of Flash Builder over other IDE's was the ability to use a GUI to layout elements on the page. I just downloaded the trial version on Flash Builder 4.7 to see all of the new features and start playing with it, and that's when I noticed that there was NO Source/Design tabs. At first, I thought there must be a check mark somewhere to turn them on. After I could not find any settings that enabled the Design Veiw, I did a search on Google, and found out that it has been removed.
REALLY! OK. I have read peoples comments saying that if you are a Real programmer, you don't need it. Well, if I am a real driver, I really don't need leather seats and Air Conditioning either. The Design View was what set Flash Builder apart from other IDE's! And you got rid of it!?
Well, this is one developer who will not be upgrading to 4.7, when I could just use a free IDE to get the same results. Adobe, if you really care about your END USERS - The people that actually use your products, don;t change things that made your products what they are! When something works, don't fix it!
I can not imaging Flash Builder ever seeing a Version 5 if the Design View is not brought back.
So, hey... Adobe management - it's your lively hood because it's us developers that use your products that pay for your new releases that keep you in business. You have to show me why I should spend the $250 to upgrade when there are many FREE products out there that will now do everything that 4.7 will do. I just don't get it.
Thanks for listening, and I hope this comment is not just lost, forgotten or locked and displaced.

I guess that when they set at the round table, and discussed what it would mean if they removed the Design View, they must have though... nevermind, I have no idea what they were thinking. All I know is, I love Adobe Products, I have purchased the CS suites since CS2, and I have been using Flex since it was introduced. Design View, however such a "small" part of the overall Flex concept, is a very important part. The concept was to have an environment that allowed you to write code (actionscript) and bundle that with a user interface (Flash) and build these applications quickly (RAD). Sure, Flash Builder will still allow you to develop the coding part quickly, but the Design View was the key that tied it all together, allowing you to create the backend (code) and the front end (user interface) quickly. I do not care that you are a fabulous coder that feels they are so good that they do not need a design view. I want it, and I am the one who is buying it.
So, I guess Adobe must have felt there where enough people that will still buy the 4.7 and beyond concept to keep it alive. I feel... it will not be me.
Adobe, I really like your products, But this is something that really needs to be re-thought. Who ever the person was that made the decision to get rid of this, you need to now make the decision to let them all go. Because they effectivaly killed Flex for many many people.
I hope you figure all of this out soon, because we will continue to use 4.6 for a little while. Then, we will start to change our development practices. Are you wanting to push people back to Flash Pro? Well, this may be the way we have to go and forget about Flex. I hope this will not be the case, but we will see.
Adobe can make the decision to not listen, and I can make the decision to not spend. Last I understood, they were in business to make products they can sell. So, I know I will still be here with my money, even if Flex falls to the side.

Why in Dreamweaver CC does the Design View show any background image (CSS or HTML placed) with its top missing? The websites I produce with background images show fine in Live View and in the browser but why does the Design View have a problem with the positioning? CS5 didn't have this problem?

Please see attached screenshots, any ideas? You may not be able to see the red and green annotations, so just incase:
1. WRONG: The left screenshot is the Design View from Dreamweaver and this moves the grey background image up behind the header
2. CORRECT: The right screenshot is the Browser View and this is fine, showing the grey background image in the correct position.

Server Side Includes not displaying in DW CS3 design view

I have this code in my page (see below):
When I open the file in Dreamweaver MX 2004 in design view,
the page displays correctly. That is, I see the correct styles from
the style sheet contained in Head_Standard.html and the logo/menu
in Logo_TopMenu.html
When I open the page in DW CS3, I do not see the effects of
the style sheet and I do not see the logo/menu.
However, when I change the code for the first include from:
virtual="/ServerSide
to
virtual="
../../ServerSide
then the page renders correctly in Dreamweaver CS3.
My first reaction was: what?! And my question is: how do I
use a root reference inside the head and get it to display properly
in DW CS 3?

"Go to Edit > Preferences > Invisible Elements >
Server-Side Includes (Check this box) to show contents of included
file"
I already do this.
For me:
/ServerSide... does NOT work
../../ServerSide... works
So, a relative reference works and a reference to the root
does not. I have over 20 websites with root references and I need
this to work in DW9.

Link to CSS problem (in Design View)

Hello Dreamweaver experts,
In the Design View Dreamweaver CS3 is not picking up the
styles specified in a linked stylesheet. Let me explain...
I am using an application in our office that relies upon HTML
(but does not use a standard web browser).
I need to refer to linked stylesheets using a variable like
so;
[example #1]
<link href="{FILES_DIR}/path/css/stylesheet.css"
rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
The use of the variable construction "{FILES_DIR}" eliminates
the need to hard code a drive letter into the link which is
preferrable. Without "{FILES_DIR}" I have to hard-code the drive
letter like so;
[example #2]
<link
href="file:///K|/additional-path-details/path/css/stylesheet.css"
rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" -->
Both examples above yield the same result in the application
(the stylesheet is found and its styles properly applied).
However, only with example #2 does Dreamweaver's "design
view" pick up and apply the stylesheet. Dreamweaver cannot find the
stylesheet or apply its styles using example #1.
My question is how can I make Dreamweaver understand and
apply what "{FILES_DIR}" means.
Any tips, tricks or pointers would be most welcome...

Did you look into "design-time" styles sheets? That may solve
your problem.
It won't take care of the path in the document though...

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.

HELP...I can't reset default views...how do I set "designer view" to default that shipped with product.

Help...how do I reset "Designer View" to what shipped with product. I was using a tutorial and totally messed up the designer default view, and cannot restore it by going to workspace "Designer View" reset...it just resets it to the same corrupted view. I seem to be stuck in live mode with no buttons to come out of live mode.

While in the Designer space, have you tried choosing Windows > Workspace Layouts > Reset 'Designer' ? If that doesn't work, you may have accidentally overwritten the default Designer workspace with the one you see now. If that's the case, one (pretty drastic) alternative is to reinstall. Another less drastic approach, is to replace the Designer.xml in your user Configuration > Workspace folder with the one I've attached.
Let me know if you need help finding your user Configuration folder.

Live view different from design view

Hi folks,
Does anyone know why, in dreamweaver, there is a difference between the site design in Design View and what you see in live view; and how should oneapproach this difference?
Thanks.

Design View was coded a LONG time ago and Adobe hasn't really changed it much. It is very useful for my workflow, which is to work in Split view and jump back and forth between the Design view pane and the Code View pane. I know right off the bat that I won't see everything. Design View will never show me the newer CSS3 attributes, like shadow, gradients and so on. But it gives me a "rough" analog to work with while I'm doing general layout. Things like, "Am I breaking up the text enough to keep people on my web page?" "Do I have this typeface too small?" "Is the picture I just put in there positioned correctly?"
Also, be forewarned, "Live" view is Webkit (an Open Source browser) so it will accurately portray Google's Chrome and Apple's Safari. It will not accurately show issues with Firefox and Internet Exploiter. So, before you launch your website, do a check in all of the major browsers.

Design view not showing

I ftp'd the files and went to move the pictures and I cannot see the design view at all. Just code. I need to see the design view. Can you help? Usually my index page is .html not .php. I have learned on my own and I really need to fix this site. Thanks!

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 -
American Telecommunications Certification Body </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 tag here -
BuildAPlane Announces Teachers’ Day at AirVenture! >>
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.

DW8: image won't display in Design View

Folks:
DW8 on MacOS 10.4.8 (fully updated) on Intel iMac.
What would keep an image from displaying in DW Design View?
What are the causes of the grey box with the superimposed "X"? Is
there any diagnostic output that might help? Is the grey box and
"X" substituted by DW8 for an invalid or un-drawable graphic, or is
this done by the OS?
The problem:
I've got a 1912 x 1481 graphic, a geographic map, in AI that
I'm trying to use as an ordinary web image, but DW won't display it
in Design View. Instead all I see is a big grey box and "X". For
test purposes, I'm starting from a new "Basic" HTML web page and
all I'm doing is inserting this one image. I need to get this
working so I can draw hotspots on this graphic to make it
"clickable" .
Here's what I've tried:
o Triple-checking that the inserted image reference is
correct. Yes, the image file is correctly linked. With the image
selected, the inspector shows a tiny but recognizable miniature of
the expected image. Further, when the page and the image are
uploaded to the web server and I look at it via a browser, the
expected image is _always correctly displayed.
o Exporting the graphic "for the web" from AI as both a GIF
and a medium-quality JPG. Neither of these are displayed in Design
View; both are served up correctly after being uploaded
o I found a larger JPG on a different site I'm managing. This
always displays as expected in both DW Design View and when served
up. I substituted the failing map JPG image. The result: A grey
box.
o Checking the map images: The JPG and GIF versions seem to
be visible in all environments (image readers, browsers, etc.) I've
checked _except_ DW8 Design View.
o Checked on another system. I made the failing image
available to a very helpful ACE, who performed a similar
experiment. It worked fine for him. I used his exact HTML and
directory structure -- and it failed for me. Grey box with "X".
It seems to me that I've checked most of the obvious
possibilities. Now it is time to check the less obvious ones.
Suggestions are very welcome!
Thanks,
Henry

Randy:
Thanks for your response.
This is a virtual memory system, so -- in theory-- it should
accommodate anything that will fit on the hard drive, more or less,
if I'm wiling to wait the hours (days?) it will take to swap on and
off the disk. That assumes DW8 takes advantage of the capability.
It may not.
"Larger"? The JPG image I compared to is 1692 x 2160 pixels,
but weighs slightly less, 289K bytes. I'm losing track of all my
test images that fail, but a representative one is 1912 x 1481
pixels and weighs 332Kb on the disk. "Roughly comparable" might be
a better description. The point is still reasonable: DW8 does
handle images of this size on my system.
One issue that occurred to me recently is that I may have
caused some grief by monkeying with the "Save for web" settings at
the Illy export. Perhaps I asked for some configuration that's
normal for Illy to export --or it would have warned me, I hope--
but too strange for DW to grok. DW should complain more
informatively than painting a gray box and "X" when that happens, I
would think.

Is it possible to have the same Split Code/Design view in CS5 that I had in CS3?

I am not a hard coder. However, like HTML, I could easily edit PHP in CS3 Dreamweaver's Split Code/Design view. It was more designer friendly, intuitive, etc. I could see/edit/move tables, placed graphics, text, etc. CS5 doen't allow me to see my PHP pages this way. Can this be fixed to have the same Split Code/Design view? I would appreciate any assistance you can offer.

To restore the cs3 style horizontal split of code and design views, go to the 'view' drop down menu and untick 'split vertically'.
