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?

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.

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

Dreamweaver CS5 Design view defaults to print style

I created a separate style sheet for printing, and it works everywhere except one place in Dreamweaver CS5. If I open one of my pages in source code, it looks normal, and I can see where the new code is for printing ...
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/stylemain.css" media="screen, projection" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/print.css" media="print" />
However, if I switch over to Design view, it shows up in the print style. It does not do this in Live View and it does not do this on the site itself. I'm stumped.

After quitting and restarting Dreamweaver, the Design view functions normally again. Obviously a bug, but I don't know how to report it. I'll poke around the Adobe site.
If the program works normally after restarting, it's unlikely to be a reproducible bug. It could be a computer memory problem or user error. However, the correct place to report bugs (and feature requests) is through the form at http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform.
If you experience the same problem again, make sure that View > Style Rendering is set to Screen Media Type. You can also select the media type from the Style Rendering toolbar, which is not displayed by default. To turn it on, select View > Toolbars > Style Rendering.
You can use the Style Rendering submenu or toolbar to check other media types, including Print. It's possible that you had Print Media Type selected by accident.

Dreamweaver 8 Design View render issue

I was wondering if anyone else has noticed a highly
irritating issue with DW8 that is apparently not an issue in the
Design View of DW MX 2004.
In DW 8 for some reason I'm getting an extra 150 pixels of
white space to the right of my #content container. It only appears
to happen when the content within the #content container does NOT
exceed the length of the content in my menu container (#priNav2).
In other words, if the content is longer then the menu, it renders
fine.
See here:
Dreamweaver
8
But, in DW mx2004 the exact same file shows up how it should.
Dreamweaver
MX 2004
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to resolve this issue
or have a clue as to why this is happening? It's really one of the
only bugs left preventing me from upgrading to DW 8 anymore.
Thanks,
- Paul

After some tinkering around and a call to Tech. Support I
eventually resolved this issue by pointing out a bug to Adobe.
Apparently the problem is the View / Visual Aids / Invisible
Elements option. If this is turned on, and you have a website set
up similiarly to
this one, you will
experience this sporatic, extranenous white space that shifts your
content around. It is not an issue in DW MX 2004, only DW 8.
The solution is to just simply turn OFF the "Invisible
Elements" option. Then the page will render the way it should.
A bug report has been submitted.

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????

Dreamweaver CS5 design view background is black, how can I stop this?

Hey everybody! I have a problem with Dreamweaver CS5's design view only showing a black background. I can create a brand new html document either as a standalone file or as part of a site and it will show a completely black background wheather it's saved or not. This also is a problem with pages that I have already created and with pages created with a Dreamweaver pre-installed template. I can't see anything unless it's not black. It is not affected by background colors either, in fact background colors don't show on anything I make; it's all black! The strange fact about this is that any given page will display just fine in Live View or in any web browser. Thanks in advance, I really need the help on this because I need to use the design view to position elements (which is a lot easier to do than guessing what would look best in code view).

Have you sorted this problem?
I have changes from Dreamweaver CS5 to CC and it appears all my existing files have a black background in design mode but when I switch to "live" view it looks like it should and does on the net.
New files tend to look as they should. Although this change to CC is very recent. It seems like a configuration / preference issue that I can't find an answer for.
I have a work around at the moment.
Select view in menu -> visual aids -> CSS layout backgrounds
This makes all the CSS areas different colours, but you can see black text and items.
Selecting "LIVE" allows you to see what it is actually like.

CS4 Design View not showing

I am unable to get the design view to work unless I have Live View open in which case my properties box is unavailalbe. I did have "overflow hidden" in my CSS but I deleted it, closed Dreamweaver and it still doesn't work. When I right click and go to Element View, Full and Hidden are grayed out. Only Reset is available which doesn't do anything.

You have a couple invalid formatted comments on the page which could be causing display issues for your "Title Starts Here" type of comments. The comment tag is only . I think those extra hyphens "-" might be causing an issue with the Design View and confusing Dreamweaver. Additionally in your footer, you have 2 open <p> tags but only one closing </p> tag. That needs to be fixed as well. It looks like the one around the address portion is missing, copyright seems fine.
Lastly, you have some CSS errors in that document, but those shouldn't be causing the issue you are describing although they could cause browser issues that you may want to look into.

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 CS3 Design View messed up

I'm not quite sure why, but the design view is all messed up
when I am
editing my webpage.
Here is what it looks like.
http://img257.imageshack.us/img257/4749/sammesseduphl2.jpg
but as you can see by going here
http://sdsusammys.com/rush.php

the page works perfectly.
I was reading some of the other peoples posts and I noticed
people who
Include php files usually have this same problem.
The beginning of the code for my rush.php page is as follows
<?php
include("includes/header.html");
?>
<?php
include("includes/navbar.php");
?>
Would that have anything to do with it?
Thanks

Sammy,
As for "viewing" your web page inside Dreamweaver, it is not
a good idea. Dreamweaver is a basically a HTML editing application.
Ideally speaking, best if you view your web page with any web
brower. Also check with your web page with many browsers, where you
will notice some beheavior or such difference in those two or many
browsers. It depends on how you code your HTML code per se.
Hope that helps.
Cheers, Brian

Why is Dreamweaver's design view so messed up?

Hi
I am sure this has been asked and answered loads of times but here goes again.
Dreamweaver gets a lot of bad press because of it's design view but why does Dreamweavers Design view render web pages so badly? Even pages that validate and are well structured often render very poorly. Why is this?
It's not as if DW doesn't have a decent rendering engine built in - live view works perfectly well. And Contribute seems to be able to present an editable page rendered correctly.
The design view obviously has some sort of rendering engine to do it's job but is it a bespoke, poorly written one that it's not up to the job? Why keep it if doesn't work? Is there just no will to fix it?

I don't like vendor prefexes. Perhaps I'm old-fashioned, but I like less code.
An example:
body {
          font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
          font-size: 100%;
          color: #000000;
          background-color: #fff;
          margin: 0;
          padding: 0;
          background: #402a67; /* Old browsers */
          background: -moz-linear-gradient(top, #402a67 0%, #ffffff 70%) fixed no-repeat; /* FF3.6+ */
          background: -webkit-gradient(linear, left top, left bottom, color-stop(0%,#402a67), color-stop(70%,#ffffff)) fixed; /* Chrome,Safari4+ */
          background: -webkit-linear-gradient(top, #402a67 0%,#ffffff 70%) fixed; /* Chrome10+,Safari5.1+ */
          background: -o-linear-gradient(top, #402a67 0%,#ffffff 70%) fixed; /* Opera11.10+ */
          background: -ms-linear-gradient(top, #402a67 0%,#ffffff 70%) fixed; /* IE10+ */
          filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.gradient( startColorstr='#402a67', endColorstr='#ffffff',GradientType=0 ); /* IE6-9 */
          background: linear-gradient(top, #402a67 0%,#ffffff 70%) fixed; /* W3C */
Now, if everyone would agree on a standard, the graduated background would be described thusly:
body {
          font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
          font-size: 100%;
          color: #000000;
          background-color: #fff;
          margin: 0;
          padding: 0;
background: #402a67; /* Old browsers if needed at all */
background: linear-gradient(top, #402a67 0%,#ffffff 70%) fixed; /* W3C */
That's 8 lines of code instead of 13.
One might ask how much longer it takes a browser to load that much extra code that is specific to other browsers and not the one one is actually using.
Dreamweaver does display the background correctly here, but only in Live View. And, with some of the colors, I find it nearly impossible to see some of the type.

Dreamweaver CS3 Design view is gone

I did a full page layout and everything looked great. I uploaded the site and it looks fine but there are a few things I need to change. I went back to Dreamweaver and the design view image is gone. All that shows is a gray image witha small box in the upper left corner that shows a small box that looks like a missing image icon? Anyway, nothing else. The code is still there and when I go to preview in browser, it still shows the site. I do most of my work in both design view and code so would really like to find a resolve to this. Thanks!

You have a problem with the markup of your page.. viewing the page in FFox I could see a line of stray 'text' at the very top of the page...
You need to fix the syntax here:
<body class="twoColFixRtHdr" onload="MM_preloadImages('images/print_button_f2.jpg','images/web_button_f2.jpg','images/emarketing_button_f2.jpg','images/portfolio_button_f2.jpg','images/contactButton_f2.jpg','images/printOffer2.jpg','images/webOffer2.jpg','images/flash_images/print.gif','images/flash_images/Web.gif','images/flash_images/emarketing.gif')" tracingsrc="Firewo<meta name="description" content="J Fusek Design offering customized, quality print and web design at very affordable prices." />
rks/JFD_Web_FINAL_2009.png" tracingopacity="0">
See the line before: <div id="container">
rks/JFD_Web_FINAL_2009.png" tracingopacity="0"> <------this is the line that is not closed correctly and is seen in the browser. Looks like it belongs to another line and somehow, maybe deleting something or other and this has been left behind.
Once you fix that section of the code, then put the page through the validator and check to see if there are other problems:
HTML Validator - http://validator.w3.org
CSS Validator - http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/
You have a few errors in the lightbox stylesheet that need correcting
http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/validator?profile=css21&warning=0&uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww. jfusekdesign.com%2Findex2.html
Hopefully once all the errors are eliminated the page will show correctly in DW. It only takes an unclosed tag for example, for the page to fail to show up in design view :-)

Design view issue - CSS and html

Hi
I was wondering if anyone can help me with this. Someone has
created a page for me using html and CSS as requested. The problem
is that whenever I try to open the index.html file in design view
or code and design view, Dreamweaver crashes and I have to restart.
I am attaching the html and CSS below. Just as an aside, I have
asked them to create the code using CSS rather than tables and have
ended up with div hell.
Cheers
Julie

Web Dynpro doesn't allow for the inclusion of custom HTML and CSS. It is far building business application in a client rendering abstracted framework.
If you need some common header, then you should consider the usage of the NetWeaver Portal.

CS4 Design view does not render CSS correctly but browser does !?!?

I am designing a layout using primarily CSS. I want to insert a table inside one of the div's. In design view the table gets pushed way out of position but in live view and on the web, the page looks correct. Why? Am I missing something in design view?
Here is the actual page I am working on Sample Page
Here is what I see in design view Design View
This glitch is making it difficult to add content to the table.
I tried to edit the page with Contribute CS4 and the table gets pushed so far out of position that it is impossible to access it. The page looks fine when I am connected but as soon as I try to edit it does not render properly.

This question comes up almost daily, and I dont recall seeing an answer that is much different. It comes down to that it does not matter what DV shows, it is the browser view that counts. How frustrating it is to spend time and effort to correct a view in DW Design, only to find out it throws your browser view all askew. Its hard enough to make x number of different browsers all look good with however many screen resolutions, to worry about something that in the end does not matter.....
Work more in code view, let F12 be your companion.

Dreamweaver CC - Design view images broken

A client contacted me today about how his DW design view is no longer showing external images. He thought it was the code. Now I don't use the design view very often, but it's doing it for me too. Every older project I open has broken images in design view. These are all images that are online and are using external links (HTML emails) so there is no reason for those images to be broken. They show in the Live View just fine, but my client can't edit with Live View. So, I updated DW and then found that they are also offering what looks like a new version, DW CC 2014. I downloaded that one and am having the same problem.
I've searched for about an hour now and can't find any solution to this. Does anyone know what is wrong here?

Hello jennisue,
Apologies for the issue you are facing but this is a known issue & sadly would not be taken up for a fix.
I would urge you instead to try out the new Live view editing capabilities in DW CC 2014.
