Dreamweaver CS3 Split View Issue

Hello All,
I just got the new dreamweaver CS3 and when working in split
view nothing is refreshing correctly. What I mean is, if I click on
some text in the design portion of dreamweaver to try and change
the font, css assignment, or whatever I cannot. I have to click on
the text, hit refresh (f5) and then the correct information in the
properties panel shows up. I have the same problem when selecting
something in the code portion of the split; it does not select the
portion in the design section. What is the deal? Dreamweaver 8 did
this fine.
Anyone else have this problem?
Alex

What OS? Does the problem happen with all files and all
sites, just some,
or just one?

  • Dreamweaver CS3 Site View issue

    When I first connect to my main Website, the local root
    folder appears for about 5 seconds. If I don't expand the view
    immediately, it disappears and I have to hit the Refresh button to
    get it to display. If I expand the folder, the site folders appear,
    but the root folder immediately disappears. The biggest problems
    with this are 1) I don't have a site folder to select when I want
    to do a right-click Select Newer Local; and 2) I can't do a control
    collapse to close all the folders in the site. This does not happen
    with the Remote site root folder, it remains visible all the time.
    Any idea whats going on?

    What OS? Does the problem happen with all files and all
    sites, just some,

  • Stop dreamweaver using split view

    Hi all,
    I love the fact that dreamweaver CS4 shows included files such as a style sheet when I open the main HTML file, anyone know how to stop dreamweaver using split view when I click on one of these included files? I never use / like split view.
    Thanks

    That's correct Brad.
    Thanks for the tips, especially right clicking to open as a separate file!
    I never noticed that it was only splitting the screen when I was in design view.
    I do actually use code view more than anything, I write PHP in dreamweaver and that is why I was getting annoyed, sometimes I can have several files included in a single PHP page, and flicking through them was getting annoying if the screen auto split .
    I actually discovered vertical split view and I like it a lot! Works really well on my dual monitor setup;code view on the left monitor, design view on the right.
    Still think there should be an option to disable auto split.

  • Dreamweaver CS3 Image Viewer ImageLinkTarget Problem

    I'm using the Dreamweaver CS3 Image Viewer component to make
    a quick Flash slideshow.
    I've set the ImageLinkTarget parameter to "_blank". However,
    in the slideshow, mouse rollovers show
    a hand cursor, but clicking opens the larger image in the
    same browser window. Everything I have read says that
    this setting should cause the link to open in a new window or
    tab.
    I have posted the code. If anyone has ever experienced this,
    please let me know how to fix/work around it.
    Thank you.

    I'm just a user, like you. And I'd rather you not send things
    directly to
    me unless I request you to do this. If you have a problem
    that cannot be
    solved here, then your next option would be to contact Adobe
    Tech Support
    directly. I'm not very familiar with the Flash side of DW, so
    I cannot be
    of much help in this regard.

  • Dreamweaver CS3 Remote View file display

    Specs:
    Dreamweaver CS3 on Windows XP Pro SP2.
    Upgraded from DreamWeaver MX
    1680 x 1050 60Hz resolution on vertical display LCD panel
    with the monitor turned/displayed verticle so I can view more of
    our site tree.
    Problem:
    When viewing files in split panel display (Remote Site on the
    left, Local Files on the right) my Remote Site display will
    collapse upward...hiding files from view, but they are actually
    still there: I can click Refresh and the tree expands again: After
    several seconds or sometimes immediately portions of the
    folders/files will collapse/hide again.
    It will do this to files I have selected. It will hide files
    I have checked out. The worst of it is that sometimes files will
    hide or collapse within sub-folders..giving the appearance that
    files are stored in incorrect folders.
    Thank you for your time

    Can you explain the symptoms in more detail? Mixing the use
    of DW8 with
    DWCS3 would not make remote files appear and disappear.

  • Dreamweaver CS3 Design View Problem

    I am trying to edit a Dreamweaver site using Dreamweaver CS3 on a Windows XP workstation at work. The site structure was developed by an outside vendor and has been designed using CSS for positioning -- no tables. It is my responsibility to finish the site using template pages provided. When viewing the site in several browsers -- both Mac and PC, everything is fine. When I open the site in Dreamweaver CS3 Windows, all of the positioning is off -- the menus that should be flush left of the text colum, instead, appear at the top of the text column. This issue is repeated throughout the site. Since I am using existing pages as templates for new ones, I'm forced to make edits in code view, upload and then view in my browser. My outside vendor, so far, does not have an answer to this.
    This weekend at home, I've installed an old Dreamweaver 8 trial version on my Macintosh. I downloaded the site and everything looks fine in Design View. Any ideas? Is this a settings issue on my Windows version of Dreamweaver?  I do have the Style Rendering setting set to Screen Media type.

    Hi,
    I found this thread after searching and searching for an answer as to why my Design View in DW CS3 started disappearing (even in split view).  It will show a partial view, but never the entire view all at once, even after restarting my PC.  I have been using CS3 for a few years now and it just started having this issue.  When this issue started, nothing had changed on my computer.  There has to be a fix for this.  Why did it work fine all these years and now, no design view????

  • DW9 (CS3) split view not work with ASP files?

    I just installed and ran DW CS3 (ver 9.0 bulid 3481) -- I use
    "coder" view for the screen layout. I like the split-view style
    since I code inline HTML with my ASP and ASPX code. However, the
    new version has the split-screen view button grayed out. How do I
    enable split view when I edit files that are not just ending in
    "htm" or "html" extensions? If the Adobe programmers made an
    ASSumption then they need to issue a patch and remove it pronto. I
    do not want someone else making decisions on how I do my work...I
    get enough of that from Microsoft already, I do not need it from my
    tools also. Please forward this to the developers if there is no
    way to change my preferences, otherwise please tell me how to edit
    a config file or hex-edit the executable to get this funtionality
    back. TIA!

    I still can't figure out why the split view or design view is
    grayed out and not accessible when editing files with an .asp or
    .aspx extension and it is driving me crazy! I called the support
    line and got someone in India who didn't understand my problem. 30
    minutes later I finally got her to agree to transfer me to
    secondary support but they were busy and she promised me they would
    call the next day. That was over a week ago. I didn't even get a
    voicemail, even though I stayed by my phone the whole day. I see
    that support for DW under Adobe is no better than it was under
    Macromedia...how sad. Microsoft Expression Web is looking better
    and better every day....... :(

  • Dreamweaver CS3 Image Viewer Flash Element

    Here at Cleveland State University, I offer basic training
    classes for most Adobe products. We are in the middle of a complete
    overhaul of the
    http://www.csuohio.edu space. Our
    goal to is to create an attractive, website with a consistent look
    and feel that makes it easier for our faculty and staff to update
    on a more frequent basis. In doing so, we have created a series of
    pages that can be easily edited in Dreamweaver CS3. One item we
    would like to fully support is the DW CS3 Image Viewer - Flash
    Element. However, we have hit a small layout snag.
    On the main pages of most college and departmental sites, a
    specific space with a finite size is set on a web page for the
    image viewer. A site editor then creates images in Photoshop that
    are that exact size. The image viewer element is configured to be
    that exact size as well. Furthermore, the picture "frame", title,
    caption and controls are hidden in the Flesh Element panel.
    However, when the page is previewed either in Dreamweaver or in a
    browser, the images have been shrunk. There is always a border,
    whether it is white or some other color. I assume the color is the
    stage color of the Flash .swf file. This causes a misalignment of
    the images and the other text.
    Another issue is the links that automatically created. Some
    of our editors have asked me why, even though they specifically
    leave the imageLinks area blank, links seem to be created pointing
    to the Adobe.com website.
    My questions: is there no way to force the Flash element to
    respect the size of the pictures so that no border is showing? Is
    there no way to leave the Im
    I've done a search on the Adobe.com support site and on the
    web and noted that several people have posted questions concerning
    this. Unfortunately, no one seems to know what to do about it.
    I can send links if you would like to see an example. I'd
    greatly appreciate any help you can give me.

  • Dreamweaver CS3 slow performance issue confusions & work arounds

    Never mind...I found it.
    Of course I have all the firewall, worm, scanning, phishing
    filtering, full time protect, and everything else turned off when I
    am working on a remote/testing site however I found the Symantec
    antivirus email scan being enabled (doesn't it just interact with
    my email program?) was getting in the way of DW9 ftp operations,
    causing some lagging that was putting DW9 into an unstable mode
    during and immediately after (10 seconds) ftp operations.
    The CPU still spikes to 99% during ftp functions but DW9
    works even though it's likely taxed to the max but when I turn off
    email scan DW9 returned to a functioning state during ftp and
    remote file view. Whatever it takes huh?
    PS: email scanning only never effected DW8.02
    My System Info: properly configured (as in: everything works
    or I fix it) Toshiba - XP pro SP2 – Pentium 4 - 2.3GHz

    What does doesn't work mean?
    Once the user has logged in, can you output the MM_Username
    session variable to the page (in particular the page that the log
    in user behavior has set for a successful log in)? You can do that
    by simply selecting it in the Bindings panel and dragging into the
    design view then previewing the page (after you've logged in of
    course).
    Also to get better responses (and more folks looking at it),
    you should probably post this in the Dreamweaver Application dev
    group:

  • Dreamweaver CS3 cannot view website

    I have built a website in Dreamweaver CS3 on mac and can view
    the site online on my mac. The problem is I can't view the site on
    a pc... what do i need to do?

    If if doesnot even load up - then something is stopping it -
    the only thing I can think of, though I am not a great expert - is
    the filenames.
    A browser in windows will try to render well or badly coded
    pages - even a text file containing hellow world with no html tags
    at all will print hello world...

  • Dreamweaver CS3 Flash Video Issue

    I have Dreamweaver CS3 running in OS X 10.4.11 all updated.
    all of a sudden when I go to insert a Flash Video into a page I get the wheel of death and DW is frozen. I formatted the video in Flashconverter and it plays fine in mpeg streamclip.
    The Insert dialog opens and I can chose the flash video and then hit detect size and the controls I want. and then I hit ok and the wheel comes up and never goes away.
    If I create a new sit it will let me add the video.
    Any ideas why this is happening?

  • Dreamweaver CS3 (Mac) performance issues

    I am running DW CS3 on a MacbookPro 2.16/ 2Gb Mac OS X
    10.4.10.
    It is slow to respond to mouse actions (constantly hitting
    the wrong button as a result), constantly hangs (but comes back to
    life eventually), is sometimes slow to type, renders faint dotted
    lines across pages (built in MX2004 with CSS) and is generally
    CRAP!
    It runs slower than MX2004 on the same machine. I have both
    versions installed on the machine (but don't run them at the same
    time!). I have similar issues with Conribute CS3 not responding as
    well.
    Please offer some assistance before I throw my computer
    across the room! Why is it so fsat on a PC, is something to do with
    the way the Mac does Java? Help - i don't want to get rid of my Mac
    for a PC!

    Hi. I am experiencing the very same problem. No issues for
    years up until recently - but my problems started not long after I
    installed the latest upgrade for Mac OS 10.5.4 to 10.5.5 - I am
    going to use Time Machine to revert back to 10.5.4 it may not be
    the answer, nor a long-term solution but it driving me nuts.
    I am currently deleting sites out of my site manager and then
    reloading them from the STE file everytime I need to work on them.
    I have read that this problem existed in Dreamweaver 8 on Windows,
    but an update sorted it out - lets hope an update appears soon to
    fix this problem.

  • Dreamweaver CS3 Remote Image Issue

    Having an issue seeing some remote images and not sure what settings will fix it.  I need to include absoulte references in some situations and I cannot see some of the images in design view.
    If I have an htm file in the root of the site and do an absoulte reference to an image in a subfolder (the absolute reference includes the full URL ( eg. http://www.mysite.com/images/image1.jpg) I can see the image in design view just fine.  However if I have the htm file in a subfolder and do an absolute reference to an image in another subfolder outside of the subfolder that contains my layout, the image does not display in deign view.
    Example:
    file1.htm is in subfolder /layouts
    image1.jpg is in subfolder /images
    I do an absolute refence in the code http://www.mysite.com/images/image1.jpg = Cannot see the image1.jpg in design view
    If I move the image into any subfolder with the same subfolder as the htm file, the issues is fixed.
    Example
    file1.htm is in subfolder /layouts
    image1.jpg is in subfolder  /layouts/images
    I do an absolute refence in the code http://www.mysite.com/layouts/images/image1.jpg = I can see image1.jpg in design view
    I tried the different site settings for relative refference from Document to Site root and neither seemed to fix the issue
    I recently moved over to CS3 from 2004MX and have a lot of files that are affected.  I am hoping to not have to do a lot of restructuring to fix this

    DW CS3 does not try to map remote images to your local folder, so make sure that your they exist in your remote site.
    Also note that DW CS5 loads remote images in a background thread, so your pages will load much faster.
