Dreamweaver CS4. Cannot view pages in Browser

All of a sudden, I can no longer view my pages in the browser (by clicking F12). I tried opening pages I have previously designed for other websites and they preview just fine. So obviously, I have done something wrong while working on these pages. What do I need to do to get things back to normal again?

When things go wrong, 98% of the time it's caused by coding errors. Start by validating your code and fix reported errors.

Dreamweaver CS4 Live View - background-image does not display

I'm teaching a basic Dreamweaver CS4 class, and one of my students happened upon a unique problem.
Although the students were not required to use LiveView for their assignment, the student noticed that when he clicked the LiveView button to look at his assignment, that the background-image property that he set on the #header DIV does not display.
I tried duplicating his problem by building a similar site to his, using the exact same Dreamweaver Starter Page he used, but I'm not able to reproduce it the problem. If I define a new site using the files the student sent me, the problem comes back.
I'm completely stumped. What could possibly be causing the background-image CSS property to stop rendering in Live View?
Thanks for any help at all!

Hi
Check your students css code for invalid or missing mark-up, or linking to the background image. Another possible problem, (occurs on some sites but not all) is to check if the url is enclosed in quotes as these are occasionally required but not always, also check for spaces in file names
e.g. - background-image: url(../images/yourimage.jpg); should work but occasional requires quotes as in - background-image: url("../images/yourimage.jpg");

Dreamweaver CS4 Code View

Please excuse this question, but I don't know what to call
it...
What is the red dash box in code view? How do I set it?
Thanks much

The red dashed box is what you see when you insert a form on
a page (INSERT
| Form > Form).
> I'm trying to figure out how to control it thought
Dreamweaver CS4.
Sorry - I have no idea what you are asking here. Do you NEED
a form on your
page? If you do, and you are wanting to alter the appearance
of it, use
CSS. You do know that the red dashes are only seen when
looking at the page
in DW's Design view, right? Or maybe are you asking how to
change THAT
appearance? Like from red dashes to green dashes? Sorry - I
have no idea
how to do that.

Dreamweaver CS4 Cannot get Spry.Data.NestedXMLDataSet with XML to work

Please help!
I've created a page in Dreamweaver CS4 with a spry dataset. This works great. I've downloaded Spry.Data.NestedXMLDataSet and installed it but I keep getting an error that nested datasets are not supported.
Thoughts solutions.
Thanks,
M

I have found the reason that I could not make it work, I did not have the correct JavaScript file installed.
Having made the correction, here is a code that does work but most likely does not have the formatting that you want. I will leave that up to you.

Dreamweaver CS4 and Front Page

I am rather new to Web design and editing. Currently I have Dreamweaver CS4 installed under Vista 64. Now I need to update a Web site designed in Front Page. What would you recommend as the best way to clean up the old code? Has anyone used the DW extensions (Import Front Page Site Wizard, Cleanup Front Page HTML Sitewide, Publish Web command) for DW MX2004 on Vista 64 bit?

How are you exporting? If you want a working button dirextly from FW with no other coding then export as HTML and images then in Dreamweaver Insert>Image objects>Fireworks HTML
BUT the better way is to make the button with rollovers (images will be placed in frames) export images, be sure current frame only is not checked and export. In Dreamweaver insert button then use the swap image behavior for the rollover. When you exported from Fireworks the rollover image is appended with the number 2.

Dreamweaver CS4 Design View Issues

Hi,
I'm experiencing issues with the design view in DW CS4. It seems a little buggy to me. Sometimes I cannot seem to select any items at all, either using a single or double click. It's starting to drive me nuts. Is there an easy way to enter into this form of editing that's a little less random ?
Many thanks in advance

There are two things that could prevent you from editing a region of DW's design view:
The page is the child page of a DW template and the region you are trying to edit is in a NON-EDITABLE part of that template, and cannot be edited in the child page.
The container (i.e., the ancestor) for the region you are attempting to edit has a CSS style of "overflow:hidden" applied to it. Double clicking (or right click > Element View > View All) would open that region for editing.
If you are able to verify that one of those two possibilities is in play, then you have your answer. If neither of them applies, then we would need to see the page and its code - perhaps you could post a link to it?

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 CS4 Live View

When I view my layout in Live View, it shows as it should, but does not show in either FF or IE correctly. Anyone know why that happens?

Hi
You are not going to like this, but, the simplest way is to go back to using 'normal' css layout methods, (float etc,) for everything. Remember you would have to do this in an alternative css style sheet for IE6/7 anyway, and as they combined still have 20%-25% of the browser market share they cannot be ignored.
Using the css display tables is still unfortunately 2-4 years away.
I did say you would not like the answer .

Table borders in Dreamweaver cs4 design view too big, I would like to have a single line for tables

Hi All,
I design email templates using only tables but the design view options in cs4 only provide a huge 3px border in order to display the tables. In older versions of macromedia etc the table view is only 1px wide which makes designing a whole lot easier.
When I add tables within tables it adds more spacing and looks way off and it also looks off in browsers, causing me to have to increase and decrease padding sure this is no way to create table even if they have no borders and the table width is already fixed?
I have tried turning borders off in visual aids but there is no option to have just a single line to demonstrate a border!!
I can't work like this, can anybody help me or is this just the way borders are displayed in cs4 for the pc???

Hi Guys, thanks for getting back to me.
the problem is purely about design view display and not about coding.
Below is how CS4 displays borders with two lines which I find difficult to decipher:
Then below is Macromedia DM 8 and this how I want the borders to look, with single lines to display the tables.
This may just be the way Abobe have decided to display tables in design view and there may not be any option to change it but if you know any way to change it I would be most greatful.
Thanks again.

Bridge CS4 cannot view or edit G10 CR2 files

Hi,
I have searched for this and come up with a few pointers but so far none has worked for me.
Running PS CS4 11.0.1
Got latest CR 5.5 and it is in the correct place.
Have run CameraProfiles exe file.
Have deleted and rebuilt icon cache for folder(s) in question.
Do not have this issue with NK2 files from my D70s
My issue:
When in Bridge I cannot see any image icons for Canon G10 .CR2 file. It is a generic icon. When I right-click on the file I am not offered "edit in CameraRaw".
HOWEVER - When in Lightroom 2.5, I CAN see the actual image files, and if I choose edit in PS, it opens CameraRaw in PS.
What gives? My wife _hates_ lightroom and she just wants to broswe the files in Bridge and then edit them in CR, but can't. It's "my fault" for shooting RAW images rather than JPEGs ;-)
Please help!
Thanks in advance

Hi,
Hmm. I can't find an about CR button or link, but when I open the Camera Raw prefs from the top menu in the plug-in, I can see 5.5.097 in the top bar of the prefs window. I placed the 5.5 8bi file in the file formats sub-folder of the plug-in folder of PS yesterday. I did not have it installed in there at all previously, so no need to remove the old one or overwrite; I just placed it in there.
Also, I'm going mad, the Nikon files are .NEF not NK2 sorry

HT1338 connection to internet ok but cannot view webpages in browser

I have a MacBook that has always been able to connect to the internet and view webpages aok until this afternoon. Although it is connected to the Internet ok, it will not let me view any webpages in either Safari or Firefox. The page justs spins and spins and never loads. I've tried a few different websites and have also tried via both our wireless connection and hardline connection to no success.
I am able to connect to the internet and view webapges ok on a different computer on the same network so I believe this problem is limited to my MacBook.
I've done some research and understand that maybe something called 'mDNSResponder' could be the problem? Something about problems resolving the hosts via DNS? I've seen some suggestions on how to fix this but I am wary of just doing a bunch of stuff that someone posted online - especially when it involves commands with the word 'kill' in it. And I'm not understanding where I am supposed to type those commands anyway - in Terminal?
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

The Interface that connects to the Internet, needs to be drug to the top of System Preferences>Network>Show:>Network Port Configurations and checked ON.

System Preferences>Network, click on the little gear at the bottom next to the + & - icons, (unlock lock first if locked), choose Set Service Order.
The interface that connects to the Internet should be dragged to the top of the list.
Then... Try putting these numbers in Network>TCP/IP>DNS Servers, for the Interface you connect with...

Then Apply. For 10.5/10.6/10.7 Network, highlight Interface>Advanced button>DNS tab>little + icon.
DNS Servers are a bit like Phone books where you look up a name and it gives you the phone number, in our case, you put in apple.com and it comes back with 17.149.160.49 behind the scenes.
These Servers have been patched to guard against DNS poisoning, and are faster/more reliable than most ISP's DNS Servers.

Dreamweaver / PHP cannot view a picture

I have the code set to load and retrieve pictures when
editing a product. In the code below you don't see the picture;
it's not loading onto the webpage. The field named picture in the
MQSQL Database has the name of the file that is on the webserver in
a subdirectory called photo from where the code is being run.

Design View Issue Dreamweaver CS4 - Taking forever to load design view

I am having an issue where my site takes literally almost a full day to load in design view. Once it is loaded everything works seemlessly but once I close down Dreamweaver and reopen it, I have to wait another day to get to design view of my site. All files open just fine in code view.
I have deleted the Dreamweaver CS4 cache folder, completely formatted my drive and reinstalled creative suite. I have also validated my code on W3c and everything checks out fine.
The majority of my site is based off of a template, but even when I remove all the template references in the html files from Notepad I am still having the same issue. My site renders fine and quickly however on Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, and Safari.
When loading any other site off the web into Dreamweaver I do not run into the problem so there must be something wrong with how my site is set up. Either the Template file is no good or somewhere else I am falling short. Can someone, please, please, please ( I am begging) help me figure out what is going on here.
My index file is located at - http://www.thebluedot.net/index.html and the template file is located at - http://www.thebluedot.net/Templates/index.dwt
I have searched high and low and even made a post on this same topic about a month ago but never came up with a resolution to my issue. I had given up on finding a solution to this problem for some time, but I really need to figure out where I am going wrong here!
Additional Details -
I am running - Windows Vista Ultimate on a Core 2 Processor with 12 GB of Ram & Solid State Hard Drive. Everything on my system runs super smoothly except loading my site in Dreamweaver CS4 design view.
I really appreciate any help you can provide.

I have used CS2 Adobe GoLive to create and manage a website (pro-prosperity.com). Now, I have CS4 Dreamweaver. I got a new site set up on Dreamweaver using the site management facility. I then have the contents of website available locally on Dreamweaver. I can edit files. But the main home page, index.html, is not displaying on design view mode for editing, although it displays everything on live view mode. I have struggled for days and am not getting any difference in attributes of index.html and another .html that is displaying fine on design view and is editable.
I am really lost and am begging for any help. Can you, for example, copy the home page from pro-prosperity.com and display on design view and edit it? Please tell me what is in this file that is troublesome. Thanks.
The first thing you should do is to make sure that this feature is turned on (it's off by default):
View > Code View Options > Highlight Invalid Html
It's not perfect, but it will notify you of some problems. In Code View, there are many problems highlighted. Some of them don't make sense, but are triggered because of a problem with a parent tag.
Be sure to make a backup copy of your file before doing the next step. Close your page. Go to Preferences > Code Rewriting, and turn on "Fix invalidly nested and unclosed tags", "Remove extra closing tags", and "Warn when fixing or removing tags". Click OK, then re-open your page. The messages in the dialog to tell you what was changed. This allowed me to see your page in Design View (I am using CS5).
Note: I suggested that you reset your preferences to turn off those 3 settings as they can cause problems with some markup.
In the long term, I suggest that you avoid nesting tables wherever possible.
Hope this helps,
Randy
