Dreamweaver CS 5.5 Crash on Code View

Hi, I've installed CS 5.5 Master Collection Trial on a freshly installed Windows 7 x64. When opening a file in Dreamviewer it opens up in Design view which is ok and everything works well but switching to Code View the Dreamweaver stops responding and Windows tries to find a solution to the problem and the only thing I can do is close the app. I've tried to add the extension html so that at the opening of the file, the file would open in Code view immediately, but that doesn's help.
I've tried to delete the Configuration directory in Windows for Dreamweaver but that doesn't help either...
Does anyone have a suggestion??
Thanks!!!

Hi, well it took me a while but I've maanged to figure out the solution... and of course the problem to this crash. After I've installed some new fonts (that I've forgot to mention) switching to code view crashed Dreamweaver. So, the solution is:
1) Power up Dreamweaver and before opening any file/s go to Edit -> Preferences (or CTRL+U),
2) Go to "Fonts",
3) Change font that's in "Code view" to "Courier new".
4) That is it!
** You can also (and it is advisable) to change "Fixed font" also to "Courier new"!
5) Restart Dreamweaver (not necesary) and you should be able to switch from Design view to Code view without any problems!
Sincerely,
H.

DreamWeaver CS5 Crashes In Code View

So, I've upgraded from CS4 to CS5, and everything was working fine for a month, but yesterday DW5 seems to be crashing evertime I click on a specific ASP page, in code view, and more specifically in the vbscript section of that page. I can be anywhere else on that page, but if I click in or cursor into the vbscript section, instacrash.
I can open other asp pages in the site, and some don't crash it, but this one particular page is a guaranteed full crash when I click anywhere in the vbscript section of the page.
Config is DW CS5, WIn 7 x64, 6GB RAM, everything fully patched and updated, both OS and CS5 apps.
I have four minidumps already from today. Productive work is impossible. Any solutions?

Did you ever figure out the answer to this problem? I'm having a similar problem where if I try to edit ANY code in dreamweaver, it crashes.
Example of code
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
See what I mean by any code? Even a fresh bare bones HTML doc crashes when trying to edit in any way, letter, space, del, backspace, etc.

DW CS3 crashes in code view

Just yesterday, DW CS has started to crash the moment I try
to edit code in several of our critical .asp pages. I can these
pages in design mode (not much help) and can edit other pages in
code mode. But as soon as I click my cursor inside the code view of
these files, the application crashes.
Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated.
Thanks,
Tim

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?

Alot of "just started happeining, weird DW behaviors" can be repaired by doing away with the cache file.

Bug in Code View font spacing - very annoying...

Hello,
I encounter a really annoying bug in the last version of Dreamweaver CC. The font in Code View is too spaced in the new version...
See below for screenshots from CS6 and CC to see the difference.
I'm using the font Courier New 9pt in both version...
Please advise.
Screenshots.
Dreamweaver CS6
Dreamweaver CC - Notice the font spacing

I've managed to change the font to "Source Code Pro" in the Regeditor here: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Dreamweaver CC\Font Preferences.
Style, the font is not as good as it was with Courier New... And Courier New is not working... I'm looking to have a normal Courier New in CC... Or at least anothe similar font... Not light as Source Code Pro...
Thanks
See screenshots below:

Can you disable the color picker in code view?

One of the things that slows me down in Dreamweaver is the color picker in code view. it pops up when I'm trying to type a quick colour - like #fff, and causes a pause in my system for 5 seconds (effectively locking up my system) while it thinks about selecting a color. is there a way I can just stop the color picker from popping up at all? I never use it to pick colors.

There is no way to disable the colour picker in Code view. However, you can successfully prevent it from popping up by changing the delay in Preferences:
Setting the delay affects all code hints, but they pop up as soon as you start typing. However, I found that a delay of about 1 second was sufficient to suppress the colour picker.

Turning a 'code view' only file to a 'design view' file

Thanks for reading.
I am using Dreamweaver 8. I have INC files that I would to be
able to edit in design view as opposed to strictly code view. (lots
of tables and I'd rather just visually edit the cells) I can view
them in the PHP files they are called from (which is a start) but I
need to be able to edit just the INC file in design view; not view
it in the PHP file and then open the INC file in code view.
I have gone through the help file and done the following
(restarting dreamweaver each time):
1) removed INC from the list at dreamweaver >>
Preferences >> FileTypes / Editors >> Open in Code View
2) checked to make sure the INC extention is in the
extension.txt file (it is by default) I've tried moving it to be an
html file, leaving it as a server sife include, and creating a new
'include file' distinction for it. None of it works.
3) Going through the rest of the documentation isn't terribly
helpful. It mentions files and folders I can not find. Most of the
decent documentation I can find is for MX; but the files it points
me to don't seem exist in my installation.
I'm sure this is a really easy problem with a simple
solution; but I am overlooking it. Do I need to find more folders
from my installation? Do I create these folders manually as I need
them? What files go in them? Getting this figured out so I can make
edits to INC files in design view would help me out tremendously.
Thanks for any help.

Save them as *.html rather than *.inc files....

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.

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.

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.
