Dreamweaver CS3 - layout tables and cells

I just installed the new Studio CS3 on my Mac , and I have
been trying to layout a new html page in Dreamweaver. I can draw
tables, but not cells! I check the Dreamveaver CS3 help "About
Layout Mode" thinking that this may be one of the functions that
have changed in the new version, but apparently it has not. Also, I
can not resize the div tags by draging the edges.
Can anyone help me with some advise?
Thank you.

Layout Mode has been removed from the Insert bar because it
produces
such poor quality code. The best advice to you is to learn
the basics of
HTML and CSS. You'll then find Dreamweaver a lot easier to
use.

Urgent help needed!! Layout table and Draw layout cell dissapeared.

I need some urgent help. I'm using CS3 but for a while my
Layout Table and Draw Layout Cell icons appear greyed and can't use
them at all. Is there any kind soul out there who knows how to fix
this? I'm going nuts trying all the possible options but none seem
to work.
Help please!!!!!!

> How would you about designing a page without using html?
You don't. But I don't recall suggesting that you not use
HTML. I just
suggested that you use best-practice HTML, no? Or maybe you
meant to ask
how you would go about building your site without learning
HTML? In that
case, I think you are outta luck. Using DW without knowing
HTML is a very
punishing experience, I'm afraid.

I prepare chronologies in word, and i am trying to do the same in pages using tables and cells. But somtimes i need a cell to wrap onto the next page but I can't work out how to do it - any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

I prepare chronologies in word, and I am trying to do the same in pages using tables and cells. But sometimes I need a cell to wrap onto the next page because the contents are bigger than the page or the space left on the page, but I can't work out how to do it - any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

As far as I know, Apple is free to choose to offer this or that feature.
They never said that they want to clone Word or even compete with it.
Differences between tables in both worlds are numerous.
In Pages (or Numbers)
- we can't sort a single column
- we can't sort by row
- we can't insert or remove a single cell
- a cell can't cross pages boundaries
If I understand well these design choices match :

Apply the 80 Percent Solution
During the design process, if you discover problems with your product design, you might consider applying the 80 percent solution‚ that is, designing your software to meet the needs of at least 80 percent of your users. This type of design typically favors simpler, more elegant approaches to problems.
If you try to design for the 20 percent of your target audience who are power users, your design may not be usable by the other 80 percent of users. Even though that smaller group of power users is likely to have good ideas for features, the majority of your user base may not think in the same way. Involving a broad range of users in your design process can help you find the 80 percent solution.

Is there a way to reference just a sheet (not table and cell)

I want to have a profile overview sheet tat will draw from individual profile sheets. Is there a way to set up a cell with which table and cell to draw from, but then make it draw the sheet name from a different cell. That way I can fill in the sheet name in the appropriate cell, and all the other cells would automatically draw from the appropriate sheet.
Any tips or advise would be appreciated.

=IFERROR(INDIRECT(A1 & " :: Table 1 :: A2"),"")
or
=IF(A1="","",INDIRECT(A1 & " :: Table 1 :: A2"))
The first will capture errors caused by A1 being blank and errors caused by A1 specifying a non-existent sheet (i.e., typos). The second one prevents errors caused by A1 being blank but will still give an error if you specify a non-existent sheet..

Tables and Cells - can all corners and cells be rounded?

I need to recreate a form and it requires a lot of round "cubes" thoughout. If these were squares, I would be doing this creating tables and cells but because most everything in it seems to have rounded corners, thats making me question the best way of going about this. Is this possible somehow?

Another way to do it would be to add anchored objects inside your table to mimic the rounded corners as shown in the following screen capture.
The first exemple is relatively easy, needing only one object per cell, except for the top row and the left column which need nothing.
The second one is more difficult, especially for the surroundings which needs more than one anchored object (especially the last cell which inherited five of them).
But both of these are still tables and can be adjusted as needed in width and height.
This could prove usable if you can trust the people doing the editing inside the table and this doesn't mess with the printing.
(the inspiration for abusing tables and anchored objects in this way comes from Michael Murphy).

Tables and cells

Hello
I am presently working on a 350 pages report with 6 different tables that are used often.
These tables have all the same width but different columns.
I made different styles of table, cells paragraphs and everything is fine, my only problem is that by default all the columns are equal and I have to manually adjust the width of every table.
Is it possible to give columns a value in the style sheet that will be applied automatically to every tables ?
I found nothing in the style sheet permitting me to do this
Thank You

Thank you very much for your quick reply.
Bonne journée (have a nice day)!

Dreamweaver CS3, IE 7 and MCMS

To all,
Have an issue with Dreamweaver CS3, IE 7 and MCMS. Appears
that when a user goes to edit a site, the toolbars disappear. We
reloaded IE 7, attempted to troubleshoot with Microsoft the CMS
application and finally re-imaged the user's machine with an in
house company produced standard image. The user's were able to work
with CMS until an install of Dreamweaver CS3 was done. Now the the
issue of the missing toolbars has returned.
Two other user's in the same group installed Dreamweaver MX
2004 and have not experienced any problems at all. Are there any
open issues with Dwvr CS3, IE 7 and MCMS incompatibility?
Thanks for your help.

Actually you have other problems on that page -

After reopening dreamweaver files, the table and its contents are not shown in design view

I got a problem with deisgn view which has stucked me for the whole week. I've designed a webpage with dreamweaver CS4. After reopening this webpage, I got problem to see the tables and images inserted in dreamweaver (the sliced images from fireworks works well). Somehow this problem only existed in design view, but NOT is browswer view/ live view. I thought it is the setting problem, but I tried to reopen the webpage I designed earlier... got no problem in either design or live view. I also tried starting over another new file, same problem existed (tables/images do not show in design view) I am really confused. Any thoughts?
I've already done my research everywhere, but cannot find solution.

Thank you so much... it works...
I should come here earlier... wasted lots of time !!

Tables and cells in Pages for iPad

I am using Pages for iPad. I am writing in a table and when I write a large content in a cell, it desappears on the bottom of the page.
Is there any way to make the cell to split automatically when it reaches the bottom of the page?
Thank you for your answers.

You could send your need to Apple and maybe they will add it.

Dreamweaver CS3 mishandling dashes and quotes?

Well, that's my problem. After years of doing sites in
GoLive, I'm forcing myself to learn to do them the proper way, with
Dreamweaver in CSS. I've apend days learning about the cascade and
specificity. I've had three books open at a time. I finally get a
few pages together . . . upload them . . . and my dashes and
apostrophes have turned to trios of question marks! Am I going to
have to learn to write without them? How do I write without
apostrophes? I can't see using double hyphens on a web site -- I do
that in emails and on forums, but there is a limit.
Here's what I mean:
http://www.marybaum.com/FRC/about.html
I'm on a MacBook Pro running Tiger. This never happened in
GoLive.

I've never seen anything like that in DW and I've been using
it since
version 3. What did you put in your markup that caused that?
Some of the
places they appear aren't appropriate for an apostrophe,
which, btw .. you
can use. It almost reminds me of the sort of thing you see
when a font is
missing. ..

Dreamweaver CS3 still buggy and no updates while CS4 is being released ??

dreamweaver CS3
still buggy ??
and
adobe has released CS4 instead of updating CS3?
hi,
we are using dreamweaver cs3 international (turkish) version and it crashes while performing
search & replace all (code editor view) option.
is there a way to solve this issue (any updates, fixes and etc. )
or
do we need to use WORDPAD
application to make Search&Replace words in a document
instead of DW CS3
regards.
i hope there is/will be any real update or fix for this. (I AM SURE ADOBE FINDS A WAY TO SOLVE this)
info:
using
Vista Home Premium
P CoreII Duo
2gb ram
dreamweaver cs3 turkish version ( V 9.0 Build 53 )
======================================

well.
it feels bad, after paying money.
not being able to use a software full.
and ADOBE must be ashamed to give such service
(by not updating these softwares which has still lots of unknonw! bugs and also must be ashamed to put a page for unknown bugs. and trying to make customers be their own software engineers instead of the company's hundreths of engineers)
and this, which they do not fix their program is not important or the issue.
it is a sad subject that, they think the people will give money to fix their unusable programs which they already bought.
and to customers who has paid about 1000$ to a software suit are having a bad vision that ADOBE started to work for money instead of customer happiness.
when they understand their
1000$ program has no support at all. no update or fixes at all.
which can not do a simple action
which the simplest editor WORDPAD editor does.

Dreamweaver CS3 Layout Mode Cell Paddig

Working in Layout Mode.
Create two cells of different width, fixed size.
Insert text in both, fonts are different.
Place one cell above the other.
Always too much space between adjacent cells even though the cell layout lnes are touching.
It seems as if the cells have a default padding value for text? This is never a problem when the cell content is an image.
Thanks,

Don't use Layout Mode. It wreaks havoc to table code. Thank goodness Adobe removed Table Layout Mode from CS4.
Use Standard Table Mode and Design View or Split View.

*Very challenging problem with Firefox involving 'table-layout' attribute and cell padding

I've been trying to figure this out for days and I just feel
like my head is going to explode. I don't even think words could
describe the relief if someone could solve this problem for me.
I described the problem here to make things easier:

This doesn't sound right. You should put the page up again,
describe
what you're trying to do and what the problem is in more
detail.
>This is going to take me hours
>to monotonous work, but I will do what I have to do.
Search & replace comes to mind, but this shouldn't be
necessary at all.
A 'div' inside a table cell just for the sake of "fixing"
some obscure
problem is not really a solution, as it doesn't really fix
anything.

Table and cell borders

I'm using CS4. I set up a table style in my style sheet that
calls for a 2 px wide orange border. The border only outlines the
entire table but not the individual cells. Does anyone know how I
can fix that in the style sheet?
The URL is
http://www.virginiacpac.org/pages/conference.html
Thanks,

Sure,
Your table has a class of table_border, so your CSS is saying
give the table
a border that's 2px solid and orange:
.table_border {
border: 2px solid #E2832F;
padding: 2px;
That results in a border around the table only.
You wanted to give the cells in the table the border, so this
CSS...
.table_border td {
border: 2px solid #E2832F;
padding: 2px;
...says to give every cell (td) that is inside an element
with the class of
table_border (your table) an orange border.
Now, because each cell has a border of 2px, adjacent cells
appear to have a
4px border.
Applying border-collapse:collapse to the table takes care of
this.
.table_border {
border-collapse:collapse;
http://www.w3schools.com/Css/pr_tab_border-collapse.asp
Take care,
Tim
