Dreamweaver cs5.5 - div tags won't float next to eachother

I have being trying to get 2 div tags to float next to eachother for hours! I've been messing with the float and messing with margins, but what ever i do the div is always somewhat under my other div tag. I want them completely side by side. I have tried changing the top and bottom margins but that doesn't work either. how can i get them side by side? One is called 'textbox' and the other 'imagewrapper'. The code is:

If you want to position 2 divs - one on left and other on right, the float for your left div should say float: left; and for the one on the right the CSS should say float:right;
In your code, I see you want imagewrapper to come on right and textbox to come on left. But your float for BOTH these say right. This is where the issue lies.
You can combine float:left and float:right to achieve side by side divs provided the overall width (container width+padding+margin) of both divs is less than or equal to the width of the wrapper div.
In the OP's example:
#wrapper = 1064+0+0 = 1064px
#textbox + #imagewrapper = 600+70+280+720 = 1670px = float drop

Dreamweaver CS5 Mac - documents won't span monitors

Hi,
I'm having a problem with CS5 that didn't happen with CS4 - I use twin 24" screens side by side, and dreamweaver won't let me drag a document any larger than one screen, even to the extent of snapping a document from the second screen back onto the first and resizing it if I attempt to resize it on the second screen bit by bit while nudging it back onto the first.
Dragging the bottom right corner onto the second screen stops at the edge of the first one. Seems a little odd, since there's a "Dual Screen" workspace layout.
Is this typical behaviour? It's really driving me nuts because I can't view my code structure without scrolling (or wrapping) any more.
I've never encountered this behaviour in an app before.
It's a fresh CS5 Master Suite install on a fresh Mac OS X 10.6.5 install.
Thanks.

The Host Directory is blank, thus the root, which is working fine on the PC.
As far as I can see even thought they format the content in different locations seems all the settings are the same, and since I exported/imported the settings, they should be identical.
CS5.5 v11.5 Build 5344
Also noticed this seems to be site specific as other sites work, yet this one does not... keep getting permission errors... have tried changing permissions to various choices, still no luck.. and again works with the permissions they already have on PC so makes no sense that is it.

Problem to place Div tags

I am developing a web site using div tags under Dreamweaver.
Until now, I succeeded to place the different blocks using
CSS rules.
One of the block has an automatic height definition;
sometimes it can be 100 pixels high, the other time 200 pixels
high.
I need to add a block that will come immediately below the
previous one.
So sometimes it may be placed from 100 to 150 pixels,
sometime it may be placed from 200 to 250 pixels.
I don't know how to define the position of this block :
absolute, relative? I tried different solutions; I do not succeed
to make the block comming immediately after the previous.
Should someone help me?
Thanks a lot.

> I don't understand what does 'normal flow' mean.
Google it, and read about it. It's the process by which the
browser renders
the page from the top of the code to the bottom and places
page elements as
they encounter them.
> The first div
> tag has the following parameters :
> position: absolute;
You will not get anything to float under this div, since
absolute positioned
elements are removed fromt the normal flow, meaning that they
are placed on
the page in that location without regard for what else might
be immediately
before or immediately after it in the code.
This is why best practice is to not use layers for page
layout.
In your case, if you REMOVE the absolute positioning, you
will get exactly
what you want, e.g.,
<style type="text/css">

</style>
You'll also need to change this -
<div class="test">
<html xmlns="
http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
to this -
<html xmlns="
http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
and this -
</html>
</div>
to this -
</html>

Div tags not aligning properly

I can not get my div tags to align properly. I have one div tag set to float left, and the other to float right. I can get the first set to work, but as soon as I add in another set, they both float left. I have played around with margins, borders, and padding and nothing seems to be working. Here is the code:
<style type="text/css">
.pageborder {
width: 795px;
height: 1000px;
border: medium solid #008478;
font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;
font-size: 10pt;
.prodboxleft {
font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;
font-size: 10pt;
background-color: #76c6be;
text-align: left;
width: 369px;
float: left;
height: 150px;
border: medium dashed #008478;
margin-top: 5px;
margin-right: 5px;
margin-bottom: 5px;
margin-left: 12px;
padding: 0px;
.prodboxright {
font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif;
font-size: 10pt;
background-color: #76c6be;
text-align: left;
width: 369px;
float: right;
height: 150px;
border: medium dashed #008478;
margin-top: 5px;
margin-right: 12px;
margin-bottom: 5px;
margin-left: 5px;
padding: 0px;
</style>
</head>
<body>
<div class="pageborder"><div class="prodboxleft">Content for class "prodboxleft" Goes Here</div>
<div class="prodboxright">Content for class "prodboxright" Goes Here</div>
<div class="prodboxleft">Content for class "prodboxleft" Goes Here</div>
<div class="prodboxright">Content for class "prodboxright" Goes Here</div>
<div class="prodboxleft">Content for class "prodboxleft" Goes Here</div>
<div class="prodboxright">Content for class "prodboxright" Goes Here</div>
</div>

Thank you, unfortunately that is not the issue. The border is set in pixels and it is wide enough to accommodate the floated containers. As I mentioned in my first post, the first set of containers work perfectly, then the second set does not, and yet a third set does. It is almost as if there is something in the middle of the space that is not allowing the containers to behave properly. I have attached a screen shot to show what I am talking about.

When floating DIV tags, I am unable to center the tags? help..

I am relatively new to dreamweaver, and have only used CS4 prior to CS5.5.
I am creating a website that has three columns, the header and the links bar to all other pages centers fine. But when i try and align the DIV tags it acts as if it is glued to the left or right hand side of the screen.
I am just wondering if there is a way to align the most left of the tags to directly underneath the most left of the header and the same for the right hand side?
If anybody could help it wouyld be much appreciated.
Thanks.

First, the way you have to handle multiple columns is to wrap them in a larger div.
So you'll have a container with three divs, name them left, center, right.
So here are your styles in CSS:
#container {
          width: 780px; /* using 20px less than a full 800px width allows for browser chrome and avoids a horizontal scroll bar */
          background: #FFFFFF;
          margin: 0 auto; /* the auto margins (in conjunction with a width) center the page */
          border: 1px solid #000000;
          text-align: left; /* this overrides the text-align: center on the body element. */
.clearfloat { /* this class should be placed on a div or break element and should be the final element before the close of a container that should fully contain a float */
          clear:both;
    height:0;
    font-size: 1px;
    line-height: 0px;
#left {
          float: left; /* since this element is floated, a width must be given */
          width: 180px; /* the actual width of this div, in standards-compliant browsers, or standards mode in Internet Explorer will include the padding and border in addition to the width */
          background: #EBEBEB; /* the background color will be displayed for the length of the content in the column, but no further */
          padding: 5px; /* padding keeps the content of the div away from the edges */
          margin-top:15px;
#right {
          float: right; /* since this element is floated, a width must be given */
          width: 280px; /* the actual width of this div, in standards-compliant browsers, or standards mode in Internet Explorer will include the padding and border in addition to the width */
          background: #FFFFFF; /* the background color will be displayed for the length of the content in the column, but no further */
          padding: 5px 5px 5px 5px; /* padding keeps the content of the div away from the edges */
#center {
          margin: 0 290px 0 190px; /* the right and left margins on this div element creates the two outer columns on the sides of the page. No matter how much content the sidebar divs contain, the column space will remain. You can remove this margin if you want the #mainContent div's text to fill the sidebar spaces when the content in each sidebar ends. */
          padding: 0 10px; /* remember that padding is the space inside the div box and margin is the space outside the div box */
Now, when you put together your HTML, you'll do this:
<!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>
<title>Page Title goes here</title>
<link href="path/style.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
</head>
<body>
<div id="container">
<div id="header">
    header goes here
    </div>
</div>
<div id="left">
Left Content Here
</div>
<div id="right">
Rightmost Content goes here. Please note the middle section comes after the right section.
</div>
<div id="center">
This is the center stuff and you will note that it has margins that keep it to the center.
</div>
<br class="clearfloat" />
<div id="footer">
Footer stuff goes here and is as wide as the main container
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>

Because IE 6 is 5+ years old and hasn't been updated in a long while and the only reason it's still kicking in somewhat decent numbers is because some large companys utilized IE-only type features for internal applications and intranets and thus forced Microsoft to conitnue to support it beyond the original end-of-support date. :-)
By the way, potentially you could just give IE 6 a really bare-bones layout - but you'll need to make sure that that's acceptable for the project. Also it's good for your sanity if you stop trying to make the site look exactly the same in every browser. It's much easier to make it look "good enough" and make sure that the content is accessible and the site usable.

CF10 CFML tag, functions and attributes autofill in Dreamweaver CS5.5

We have Coldfusion 10 and Dreamweaver CS5.5 in my company. We want to be able to see all the CF10 CFML functions, tags and attributes in the autofill when writing code. I have found an Adobe link to a download for them but it doesn't say what version of Dreamweaver is required for it to work. Can someone please tell me? Will it work with CS5.5?
(This window won't let me paste in the link I have but it's in the Coldfusion Support Center Downloads | Coldfusion 10 Devleoper Tools | Adobe Coldfusion 10 Extensions for Dreamweaver. Also note that we do have CS5.5 in my company but I don't have an install available for me to test so I'm hoping it will be easier to get an answer to this question here rather than obtain one....thanks)

Help with floating a Div tag?

I am having difficulty properly floating a div tag in my site. The page is http://www.planetwhistler.com/bandbs.html The Div on the bottom of the second column with 'content for right_bandb_div' goes here will not properly float to the right of the Div to the left of it. I have floated the 'right_bandb_' div to the left with enough of a margin to clear the div tag in the first column, I have also put the code for 'right_bandb' before the code for the div to the left of it but for some reason it won't properly place itself. Thanks for any help provided.

I realize my Template isn't exactly like yours, but you can learn from it.

1) apply min-height values to all your .boxes.
2) add a float clearing between rows.

Floating 3 div tags side by side

Hello Dreamweavers.
Im trying ot float 3 div tags side by side. I dont have a problem floating 2. But when I add a 3dr DIV the 2nd DIVS margin is making me confused
how to get them floatin next to each other. Here is what I have so far.
Thank you.
#box_one {
          background-color: #9C9;
          width: 400px;
          height: 400px;
          float: left;
#box_two {
          background-color: #99F;
          height: 400px;
          width: 400px;
          float: right;
          margin-right: 450px;
#box_three {
          background-color: #06F;
          height: 400px;
          width: 400px;
          margin-left: 1000px;
          float: right;
<body>
<div id="box_one">Content for id "box_one</div>
<div id="box_two">Content for id "box_two</div>
<div id="box_three">Content for id "box_three" Goes Here</div>
</body>
</html>

No need to get complex, just float all of the <divs> left and give 'box_two' and 'box_three' a margin-left: 50px; (see below)
#box_one {
float: left;
background-color: #9C9;
width: 400px;
height: 400px;
#box_two {
float: left;
background-color: #99F;
height: 400px;
width: 400px;
margin-left: 50px;
#box_three {
float: left;
background-color: #06F;
height: 400px;
width: 400px;
margin-left: 50px;

Dreamweaver crashes when i drag my div tags in design view

Hi
Ive just encountered a problem with dreamweaver cs4 at work.
I was creating a website using CSS and creating multiple div tags to house my images around the page. I normally position them using the CSS style sheet, but on this occasion, I grabbed the div tag whilst in design view and dragged it manually, and dreamweaver crashed! See image below It does so everytime I try the same thing again. Ive even restarted my PC. Anyone know why?

I've not see this before, so can't say why it would be happening. Would the pc be low on resources? but then again you say it happened even after a restart of the pc.
Maybe you could try the file cache and the personal configuration folder fix to see if it fixes any issues.

PS: While I'm at it, it would be wrong for me to point out that using AP divs is not the optimum way to create a layout.... unless you know the repercussions of using them.
Here's why: (from the Dreamweaver FAQ)

Vault is NOT enabled, and I removed a new DW extension just in case that was the problem, and also did a permissions repair, but I am still getting nowhere. Any ideas?

Hi, pmajor. Welcome to the Adobe user-to-user forums!
I noticed that your error report indicates that you are using build 4909 of Dreamweaver CS5, which is the release version. There have been some updates since, so I would suggest that you install the latest, 11.0.4 (build 4993), and then see if the problem persists.
You can get the latest update by going to Help > Updates in Dreamweaver, or by downloading it from the following page and then installing it: http://adobe.ly/DWUpdates

Have you looked at your page with images disabled?
I urge you to re-think this approach to web design because images of text are not indexed by search engines, screen readers or translators. Given the demographic group your site is targeting, you really need to ensure maximum web accessibility for all users.
Navigation, headings and descriptions all need to be in real text -- not images of text.
Ken is right. Absolute positioning is pure poison for such a simple layout. My advice is to start over with one of the pre-built Starter Pages in DW. Go to File > New > Blank page > HTML. Select a layout from the 3rd column and hit CREATE button.
