Dreamweaver cc unusably slow with CSS or Display Styles

Dreamweaver cc 2014.1.1 6982 build is so slow I can no longer use it. Running 10.10.2 on a 2.7 GHz Intel Core i5 iMac with 16gb and Dreamweaver has so much delay between when you click or type and something happening. I have found that if you don't use any css it is fine and if you turn off Display Styles it also speeds it up. However not having these make using dreamweaver pretty pointless.
Now going to have to go back to CS6 or use a different program completely.

A lot of people are using CC successfully. Everyone's system is different. Slowness can be caused by various things including but not limited to:
network drives,
backup software,
anti-virus software,
GA Tracking code,
null protocol links // to scripts on 3rd party servers like Typekit.
Google Ads,
CSS @import,
code validation errors

I am having trouble with CSS. Displays right in DW but not in web browser

Hello,
I am having difficultiy getting my webpage to look the way it does in Dreamweaver in a browers (All 5 of them). My problems are with:
- Title Heading Content
- Sidebar
I have two lines in my heading with the name of the organization. I made two rules. Header H1 and a sub header. For some reason while previewing them in a browser there is a gap between the two words. But in DW there is not. I do not want the gaps. How can I fix it?
In a browser the side bar does not come all the way down. There is a small gap between it and the footer. Like the other problem this does not appear in DW only in the browers.
Any help would be appreciated! I am still learning CSS.
I believe these are the only two files you need to look at.
Thanks for the help!

Also how can you see if your ISP offers the free web server space?
Contact your internet service provider (ISP). Often this is your telephone or cable broadband provider too. If not, there are many free or very low cost remote server hosts around. Do a Google search.
I did do the validator and it told me I was fine. I did not do a CSS one though.
Good. So we know it's not an HTML error. Get the FF Web Developer Toolbar. It permits you to edit CSS in your browser to see how changes effect the layout plus a lot of other cool stuff.
Sorry I'm still new to all of this.
Don't fret, Tim. We all started in the same place. You'll catch on soon enough.

Help with CSS column display

I have beaten my brains trying to get a third column to
display correctly. After rereading several tutorials and helps in
Dev Center, I am still stumped! Can you take a look at my code here
http://www.mlundy.net/tigerswrestlingnew/lsTigersTemplate.html
- CSS file is
http://www.mlundy.net/tigerswrestlingnew/css/lsWrestling.css.
The absolut wierdest thing just happened. After I uploaded it
for you to see, it seems to display correctly! However, inside DW8,
it still shows the sponsors div being pushed down below content.
I'm very confused now! Can anyone give me a hand? Thanks.

Actually, it still does not work correctly. Because I have
already applied a background image to the containing div, it
appears correct. The sponsors div content actually still falls
below the center, content div, instead of being top-aligned with
the headlines and content divs.

Dreamweaver Studio 8 Dropdown with CSS

When creating a dropdown menu using a client's logo in Studio
8. The menu works brilliantly in all browsers except IE5+ for the
MAC, where the images that are centered in the table move flush
LEFT as in this example.
http://www.lindaclifford.com/abc.html
If you import the code for this site into DW CS3 or DW Studio
8, you can see the lopsided effect in the Design Window.
Any ideas how to counteract this? Is the DocType throwing
this off?
Thanks
Pete

First of all I want to say thanks for your reply regarding my
post about Fireworks Quirkiness.
I agree with you about the MAC IE browser - I don't think
anyone is really using it these days.
I still think there might be a glitch in my program? I'm
running Studio8 on a MAC.
Somehow the code that is exporting the dropdown menus is
creating a glitch.
If you have any insight, I would be most appreciative.
If this is above what you do for Adobe, then don't bother
trying to figure it all out.
I may just uninstall and re-install the program to see if the
glitches disappear.
I am attaching the code for the page which links to -
http://peterelliott.biz/avidjoan.htm
Both page and CSS Style sheet code generated by FWStudio8 for
the MAC.
This results in the SOLID Blue line indicating the photo
aligns Flush Left -
http://peterelliott.biz/ajoan2.png
My client who uses the CS3 Suite doesn't see the Blue lines -
but sees the Images FLUSH LEFT -as in this shot.
http://peterelliott.biz/ajoan2.jpg
I feel certain that there is a bug somewhere that needs
fixing.
Again any help you can give would be grateful.
Pete

Dreamweaver has been running extremely slow with reflow.css.

Dreamweaver has been running extremely slow with reflow.css. Wondering if anyone else is encountering this issue? If so, any fixes or known variable that causes this to happen?

I haven't see this. Can you describe a little more about what you are doing and what parts are slow? If there are specifc steps you can also file a bug with the Dreamweaver team:

Display multiple records with CSS

PHP MySQL
I have a MySQL table with several columns and multiple
records... it is easy
to display these records in a <table> using the repeat
record server
behavior applied to the <tr> that displays the records.
I would like to do this with CSS and eleminate
<table>'s
My question is can this be done displaying the records in a
<div> using the
repeat record server behavior?
Or is this just one of those things that a <table> is
required?
Jeff

Displaying rows of data is actually the reason tables were
originally
invented. :)
You need a table with the number of columns for your data and
two rows. The
first row is for the column headers. The second row is for
the PHP
placeholder that will be replaced with data. Apply the repeat
region to
this second row either for all rows or the number of rows you
desire to
display on one page .. in which case you would also use
recordset paging.

IPhoto 6 unusably slow (starting with keywords and then the rest o product)

As I've mentioned in a post in another thread, I upgraded to iPhoto 6 a few weeks ago. From the moment of upgrade, anything associated with the keyword function (applying, searching, even scrolling the keyword box) is painfully slow--60 seconds to 3+ minutes at a time (that's the average--I've had waits of 90 seconds to apply 1 keyword to 1 photo and 8 minutes to apply 1 keyword to 27 photos). Since that last post, I've also discovered that the longer I try to use the product, the slower EVERYTHING in the product gets (other than scrolling the library).
I use iPhoto as a database, not an image editor. To give you an idea of what I'm talking about, the types of things I'm trying to do include:
* apply one keyword to 30 photos
* click on one photo after having assigned a keyword to a different subset of photos
* scroll down one page in the keyword box
* select 4 photos
* scroll one page in the main iPhoto view of photos
* search by keyword
I've re-installed, re-built, and re-started. I can also say that the longer I try to use iPhoto 6 in one session, the worse the performance gets. Yesterday morning I had to keyword 150 photos from a party and forced myself to use iPhoto so they could be searched with another set of pictures already in iPhoto. It took me OVER 1 HOUR to assign an average of 6 keywords to each photo with selections averaging 10-15 photos at a time. I am not exaggerating--I timed it (63 minutes). For the record, no other applications were running: iPhoto was flying solo (I thought running alone might help performance, but it didn't. I'm no software programmer but I have a lot of experience with computers and whatever is tying iPhoto's resources into a knot seems to be between iPhoto and iPhoto or iPhoto and the OS.)
Also, the longer I used the product, the fewer "actions" it saw. So, for example, at the beginning I could click 3 keywords on the same keyword pane view and all 3 would apply to the selected photos (with a still dismal response, but at least I was getting 3 assignments for each response). By the end, only 1 assignment would be "seen" at a time even if 3 were clicked (and the other 2 would be translated into some random actions as iPhoto would scroll the keyword pane and assign a random keyword--not necessarily on the same side or the same position on the screen of the keywords I had actually clicked). The result? The functional response time tripled.
The product is not only much worse than iPhoto 5, it's unusably slow. Sadly, I've already upgraded. So I'm wondering if anyone can tell me:
1) Is there any way to know officially if Apple is addressing this specific problem? I know other people are experiencing this and thought there would be a fix from Apple by now, but nothing.
2) Is there any way to bail out of iPhoto 6 and go back to iPhoto 5? I know there's no official path, but (A) is there any unofficial path and (B) what would I lose?
3) Since iPhoto 6 is the only iLife product I use, I feel especially ripped-off. What I'd really like to do is get a refund and pursue a different solution. Any thoughts there?

Old Toad
Since I last wrote I have:
* Rebuilt the directories with Disk Warrior. The problems I had were 30+ overlaps between iPhoto images and iTunes song files.
This got rid of the 8 minute responses, but performance was still unusably appalling.
* I cleaned out the user caches with OnyX.
No change in iPhoto performance.
* I reinstalled iPhoto. (Because of the overlaps I also tried to reinstall iTunes but it doesn't have an obvious path for that. Given the number of hours I've already burned on this Apple problem I didn't have the fight in me for another one).
No change.
* Per another post in this forum I emptied iPhoto trash, then per Old Toad I rebuilt the iPhoto library with the first 3 options.
Noticeable improvement, but the performance is still dreadful.
* Did a re-install and archive of OS X (per a friend's suggestion) and downloaded all the system updates anew.
No improvement.
So after rebuilding my system from the directories up, re-installing iPhoto, and rebuilding the iPhoto library I'm "back to" 30 second to 3+ minute waits for everything when the Photo Info pane is active. For example, it takes 30-90 second waits for tasks such as:
* changing a tab in the Photo Info pane
* trying to scroll the Keywords tab of the Photo Info pane
* assign 1 keyword to 1 photo
It takes 2-3+ minute waits for tasks such as:
* scrolling the main window (one click in the scroll bar--not dragging) when the Photo Info pane is open
* assigning 1 keyword to 36 photos
* closing the Photo Info pane (AFTER however many minutes it took for the final commit i did before trying to exit)
My observations:
* When the ball is spinning on the screen, iPhoto doesn't "remember" what I do as other applications do, although the Keywords pane will occasionally scroll backward or forward--apparently randomly--in response to a single click anywhere in iPhoto. (And I'm not one of those people who bangs on the keyboard constantly when the computer is busy: I'm talking about a click that might get in before the ball starts spinning on the screen.)
* The first "click" after opening the Photo Info Pane (either the Keywords tab or the first keyword box) is always "free"--no problem with excessively long waits. The second click after after a "free" click always has the burdensome wait times. Occasionally, though, in the first 3-5 clicks in the Photo Info pane the first click after what I'm assuming is a commit does not have the painful wait times. After those first 3-5 clicks, though, every click gets this excessive wait.
* It seems odd to me how consistent the minimum wait is: right around 30 seconds. The click is either "free"--i.e. no perceptible wait time (or a reasonably minimal wait, given the task at hand)--or it's 30+ seconds.
These response times really do make the product unusable for me. Does anyone:
1) Have any other suggestions?
2) Know how I can find out whether this problem is being pursued by Apple?
3) Know of any path out of the product so I can put myself out of my misery?………

Help! Prob with CSS display

I created 3 different local sites for possible web pages

Dreamweaver CS6 slow with hosted SVN

I'm using a trial, hosted version of SVN (Beanstalk) with Dreamweaver CS6 as my client on Windows 7, 64 bit with a T3 connection.
Ever since I added SVN, Dreamweaver has slowed to a crawl. Version control processes are slow and it seems to hang permanently when I try to upload larger chunks of data, so I'm having to commit our site to the repository one small chunk at a time over a number of days.
The strangest part is that even just navigating my local folder structure in Dreamweaver is painfully slow now (not sure why that would be related to SVN), and I regularly see the "Dreamweaver is not responding" message.
This is my first time using SVN, so I'm not sure whether I have it set up correctly (I am able to commit files to the repository, albeit very slowly).
In my site settings, I have my local files on a network drive (which is also my testing server). I upload files to our publishing server via a local network (not FTP) connection as well. In site settings the path to my authoring/testing and production servers is based on the drive letters I assigned to them when I mapped them locally.
Thanks for any suggestions you can provide!
-Jeff

I realize this is an old post but I have the same issues. When commiting files dreamweaver hangs up for up 5 minutes. Even if I'm just commiting one small file. The program will grey out and say not responding. The commits go through and i see them on my beanstalk account but they just take forever.

The Essential Guide to Dreamweaver CS3 with CSS, Ajax, and PHP by David Powers

The Essential Guide to Dreamweaver CS3 with CSS, Ajax, and
PHP by David Powers:
Would this book help me learn about Spry and Ajax and how
applications can be made with them, if I my e-commerce site runs on
a compiled C code shopping cart (ShopSite) but supports PHP
server-side scripts or is it only for shopping carts based on PHP
itself (like X-Cart)?
I am not sure. Someone please let me know so I can purchase
this book. Thanks.

You don't need any prior knowledge of Ajax or PHP, but you do
need to
know the basics of HTML and CSS. As I say in the
introduction, "You
don't need to be an expert, but you do need to have an
inquiring mind.
It doesn't teach the basics of web design, nor does it
attempt to list
every single feature in Dreamweaver CS3. There are plenty of
other books
to fill that gap. However, by working through this book,
you'll gain an
in-depth knowledge of the most important features of
Dreamweaver."

The book provides detailed coverage of the Spry 1.4 features
in
Dreamweaver CS3, which can be applied to any site. With minor
adaptation, you can also use Spry 1.6. It's important to
realize,
though, that the Spry/Ajax features in Dreamweaver CS3 do
*not* cover
asynchronous requests to the server. The ability to
communicate
asynchronously with the server was added in Spry 1.6. If it's
asynchronous server calls and responses that you're after,
your
programmer will need to dig around in the Spry 1.6
documentation on the
Adobe Labs site, and hand-code it.
The Spry features covered in the book are Spry Effects, Spry
UI widgets
(menu, accordion, tabbed panels, and collapsible panels),
Spry
Validation Widgets, and Spry XML Data Sets.

Yes. All the Spry techniques can be used on any web page. It
doesn't
need to be a PHP one.

ITunes is totally frozen with multiple paints of same screen within itself. Also incredibly slow. Are there alternative players I can use with my iPhone, or must I use iTunes with my iPhone? iTunes is effectively unusably slow.

iTunes is totally frozen with multiple paints of same screen within itself. Also incredibly slow. Are there alternative players I can use with my iPhone, or must I use iTunes with my iPhone? iTunes is effectively unusably slow. I am using Windows 7.
I only use it once every few weeks and each time it is more disappointing than the previous time. does it run better on a Mac than Windows? Is this app really the future of media? Really?

I am using iTunes 11.1.3 -- The most recent version. When I select something from my albums it just freezes. I have restarted it a few times with same result.

My iMac now got stuck for over 2 days in Shanghai, China (it's there now 20:51) - why is that, and is there anything Apple could do to speed up the delivery?

Well, I live in Italy, but want a UK-International keyboard... So hence why Apple had this not available in the shop. I actually went there, and ended up watching the Apple sales person ordering it online for me :-)
But when I had my iPhone 6 delivered, there was no such long time where the parcel got stuck...

I have xml files with css. IE displays them correctly but FF 4 does not. How can I fix this?

I try to use FF for everything but this is the one thing I can't get it to do and I hate to have IE as my only choice for viewing these files correctly.
They are for school, but I would still like to use them for websites I design.

I will also try there but this isn't just a web design problem.
XML files are used a lot and when formatted with CSS or XSLT can usually be viewed like a regular web page. So if I went to a website and they were showing me this file or I upload this file I would like to be able to view it. I know I can open IE and problem solved but I don't want to use it. I thought IE was behind me because FF did everything I needed until now.

Problem with Css styles not showing in live view or when i browse

I am using Mac osx 10.6 and building website with Dreamweaver CS5. Sometimes div tags i create not showing styles or rendering in live view or when I browse but showing in design view. I looked in dreamwever faq and they talk about not showing in design view to toggle the display styles. That is not the problem becuase it is check marked and I tried turning off and turning on and made no difference.I am using firefox browser.
It happened before the other day too. But all of my other pages in this site that i have created the same way building with div tags and css styles. So not sure what the problem is. Maybe someone has a suggestion here.

Will Dreamweaver CS4 work properly with 10.6.1 Snow Leopard?

Hello
Can anyone tell me please, if Adobe Dreamweaver CS4 work properly with my MacBook OS 10.6.1 Snow Leopard? Adobe state "Mac OS X v10.4.11–10.5.4" in the system requirements, but does this mean, in practise, that Dreamweaver will not work properly with Snow Leopard?
I have tried to find info about this here, but have spend ages wading through masses of complaints about various applications crashing for people after they upgraded to 10.6.1 Snow Leopard. Personally, touch wood, I've had no problems with Snow Leopard, but I only really use it for Internet surfing and word processing (my work, music stuff on Logic Pro 8, is done on my Mac Pro which came with Leopard and which I am NOT upgrading - not yet!).
I have also attempted to get an answer from Adobe - I 'phoned their "Pre-sales enquiries" number 0800 028 0148 (in the UK) and spoke to someone who sounded as if she was on the moon and who clearly had absolutely no idea what I was talking about. I gave up with them! They didn't give an email address to ask on.
I'd be very grateful if anyone can give a clear, authoritative answer please - if possible.

I've been a Mac user since 1987 and have never upgraded the OS too soon after a new version was launched. Any new OS, like new houses, will have a 'snagging list' - unforeseen problems that arise and need to be sorted before your purchase is truly habitable and functions as expected.
But the stability of OS X 10.5 paved the way for my lapse of judgement when I upgraded to Snow Panther last week, while its compatibility with some major software is still clearly too buggy.
I've been using Dreamweaver (DW) CS4 successfully on OS X 10.5 for some time. Since installing OS X 10.6.1 I now have problems with DW, which I've alerted Adobe to.
When using Design View in DW CS4, any formatted text - from html tags to css tags - disappears from the Design view. The code appears correctly in the Code window and even if you highlight text that has coding attached in Code view - eg text with a url link attached - the Design view continues to ignore it and removes the text from its view. I've discovered that my heading tags (h1, h2, etc) all make the text disappear in Design view in a way that would be the envy of members of the Magic Circle! The only thing that seems to get through is text that is surrounded by paragraph tags.
Thing is that 'Preview in Browser' shows the page correctly (except in Opera, which I've only installed since installing Snow Leopard, so I can't say how this displayed in the previous OS versions).
Also when I upload the site to the server it all seems to display more or less as it should.
So currently it seems that DW CS4's Design view is no longer WYSIWYG! Expect to find lots of text hidden in Design view and have to use Code view much more.
It would be nice to think that Apple and Adobe would talk to each other and work it out between them.
re: Dreamweaver, I'd check back to Adobe.com regularly to see when they upgrade the OS requirements to 10.6.1 (I hadn't spotted before I bought Snow Leopard that they only go up to 10.5 in their OS recommendations).
My advice if you're thinking of upgrading to Snow Panther: delay it until it more of it works compatibly with your major applications. Check the OS spec from each software manufacturer first. Meanwhile I'll just have to wait patiently for Apple & Adobe to get their act together...
