Dreamweaver CS6 - Guidelines in code view

Hello,
Is there any extension/plugin that allows to make similar view like in Notepad++?
Example: http://screenshu.com/static/uploads/temporary/ed/aq/w0/xtgy6g.jpg
I mean those vertical guidelines + selecting closing tag that selects also opening tag. Is this doable in Dreamweaver CS6?
Thanks in advance.

Nothing currently.

Dreamweaver 8 freeze in Code-View

I have a Site: ASP/VBScript; Testserver local;

lines) and go to the Code-View and click into the code
Dreamweaver 8 freeze. I know I'm not the only one with this
problem, but I didn't find a fix/workaround.
It should by a Dreamweaver/File problem, because all

With DW MX 2004 we had no problems! Since last week we use DW

DreamWeaver CS5 Crashes In Code View

So, I've upgraded from CS4 to CS5, and everything was working fine for a month, but yesterday DW5 seems to be crashing evertime I click on a specific ASP page, in code view, and more specifically in the vbscript section of that page. I can be anywhere else on that page, but if I click in or cursor into the vbscript section, instacrash.
I can open other asp pages in the site, and some don't crash it, but this one particular page is a guaranteed full crash when I click anywhere in the vbscript section of the page.
Config is DW CS5, WIn 7 x64, 6GB RAM, everything fully patched and updated, both OS and CS5 apps.
I have four minidumps already from today. Productive work is impossible. Any solutions?

Did you ever figure out the answer to this problem? I'm having a similar problem where if I try to edit ANY code in dreamweaver, it crashes.
Example of code
<!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>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>Untitled Document</title>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
See what I mean by any code? Even a fresh bare bones HTML doc crashes when trying to edit in any way, letter, space, del, backspace, etc.

Dreamweaver CS6 Rewrites My Code!!!

Sigh. I just upgraded to Dreamweaver CS6 Creative Cloud, hoping it would solve the code rewriting issues added in CS5.5.
No joy. Take a look at the following code fragment:
<input type="text" name="getEmailAddress()" size="40" required="1" validate="email" message="Please enter your email address." />
Thing is, this is NOT HTML. This is part of an XML definition of a form, embedded within a CFC. Whenever CS6 gets its grubby little paws on it, however it changes it to this:
<input type="text" name="getEmailAddress()" size="40" required validate="email" message="Please enter your email address." />
Note the required="1" attribute is now simply required. Which blows up the XML parser big time.
This, just when I was getting around to writing a post about how, after THREE versions (CS3, CS4, CS5), Adobe finally got around to fixing the code rewriting bug I originally posted back in March, 2008.
I've tried changing doctypes, turned off rewriting in preferences, and done pretty much eveything I could think of, AND DREAMWEAVER STILL REWRITES MY CODE! I was told in CS5.5 that Dreamweaver will perform these kinds of changes based on the presence of a doctype specification...
But why is doing it in a ****ing CFC?????? Am I supposed to add doctype's to my CFC's now?
Look, Adobe, I'm a professional. I know what I'm doing, and when I put text to a file, I expect it to remain exactly as written. I do NOT need you "improving" my code.
Especially when "improving" my code BREAKS MY CODE.
Please provide a "hands off" option, and HONOR it.
I need Dreamweaver because I need RDS access to some sites. If it were not for RDS access, I would drop this piece of grief and aggravation in a heartbeat.
I wonder how many years I'm going to have to wait to get THIS fixed...

> I do NOT want it doing that.
Why? It's the right thing to do. Anyhow, PREFERENCES >
Code Rewriting,
might be what you are looking for.

Dreamweaver CS4 Start in Code View

How do I set Dreamweaver CS4 to start in Code View? Everytime I open a new file, it appears in Design View. I want to set Code View as my default. How do I do that?

That behavior is weird. I wonder why CS4 is so restrictive then. Seemed MX was more forgiving.
As for me, I use DW for its power in -- local development (Code View), FTP-ing, powerful search and replace across entire site, colorized view of my PHP/CSS/JavaScript syntax/HTML/etc., spell checking, code validation, source control with check-out, and a couple other minor features. I have never ever used design view or split view as I am a developer and not a "good" graphics and layout guy. I borrow and/or outsource that stuff to pro's.
So I push everything up to my Linux/Apache server and test view in FF and MSIE browsers from the web server. I develop on a Windows machine.
I guess I never trusted nor even understood the DW browser. What is it actually (rhetorical - no response necessary)?
If there was one feature that DW could implement that I believe would make it the cadillac tool of the century would be a "click here to view your page in:" and then have the page be able to properly display in the latest 3 versions of the Win-Firefox, Win-IE, Win-Opera, Mac-Safari, Mac-IE, Mac-FF and any other top/widely used browser. I know there are some web sites out there that translate a page into these views, but a tool/feature like that would make a developer's world truly heaven. Of yeah, what would the site also look like at selected screen resolution sizes and with and without JavaScript being turned on. Hmm, bet that tool would cost me a mint.
Hey, have a great day John and good luck with your DW!

Dreamweaver 8.0.2 -- code view is totally screwed, so is design view. Split view works fine.

I just started having an extremely annoying issue in DW8-XP.
The code view is completely messed up. I can switch to code view,
but nothing is there. Just a ghost of the split view I was just in.
If I open a new file (like css file) in code view, I see a ghost of
the last view. Since css files don't have a split or design view,
I'm screwed. Cannot firgure out how to delete the config file. Do
you think this would help? Would it erase any settings I have
currently set?
I tried switching to a default layout, restarting and all. No
luck. Little help? :D

Restart the system.

Help! Dreamweaver CS6 bug makes code disappear!

I manage a dozen or so very stable websites in DW. Yesterday when I went to edit one, all the text was gone! I was able to workaround by pasting fresh text in Design mode from the web page. Today it's happening with another site. Both these sites have templates with editable regions. It's not happening in all of my sites, nor on every page of the affected ones.
Here's an example.
The web page:
The file:
It's so bizarre! Any ideas?

#1 If you're using a Mac with Mavericks, disable your system's "Dictation & Speech Recognition" features.
#2 Validate code and fix reported errors.
CSS - http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/
HTML - http://validator.w3.org/
#3 When DW starts acting weird for no other reason, the first thing to try is Deleting Corrupted Cache in DW

Does Dreamweaver CS6 have an iPad viewer

I wanted to know if the latest version of Dreamweaver in CS6 will have he ability to see what your website will look like on an iPad. Many clients want to see what their site will look like on an iPad moreso than any other device.
I found this website to have a ot of articles about iPad apps useful too but no mention of the latest version of Dreamweaver displaying a site as seen on an iPad. Please keep me posted!

Why dont you download the XCode? It's available for free from https://developer.apple.com/xcode/
You have an iOS Simulator that comes bundled with XCode with which you can simulate apps and webpages across iOS Devices.
That said, CS6 is supposed to have revamped PhoneGap support with a new emulator that can test layouts of the apps/ HTML you build in DW. More on that here: http://www.adobe.com/in/products/dreamweaver/features.html#categorylens_aa0_featureset_27c b
You could also get the latest version of PhoneGap directly here: http://phonegap.com/start#ios-x4

Phone gap build settings in Dreamweaver CS6

Hello
I have created a html/javascript app using the jquery mobile template in dreamweaver cs6.
In live view the app works as expected, however when I publish it using the phonegap build service the application fails to work.
I think this is because it relys on loading external JSON data into it. Looking at phonegap documentation I think this can be fixed by...
Allowing ExternalHosts in PhoneGap.plist.
However I cannot see this file, only config.xml.... So can it not be done using the integrated build service?
Thanks for any help

Covert symbols to HTML in "Code view"

Hello, is where any way to find and convert symbols to HTML in Adobe Dreamweaver CC while in "Code view" ?
Example: search in open document for & and covert to &
I know if you paste text in "Design view" it auto converts to special HTML entry, but how to do it in "Code view"?
I found http://codingforums.com/javascript-programming/157976-find-replace-script-dreamweaver.html forum how to convert foreign characters to HTML, but what about symbols?
convertCF.htm
<html>
<head>
<title>convertCF</title>
<script src="convertCF.js"></script>
</head>
<body onload="convertCF();">
</body>
</html>
convertCF.js
function canAcceptCommand(){return true;}
function convertCF() {
var theDOM = dw.getDocumentDOM();
var theDocEl = theDOM.documentElement;
var theWholeDoc = theDocEl.outerHTML;
theDocEl.outerHTML = escapeExtended(theWholeDoc);
window.close();
function escapeExtended(s){
return s.replace(/([\x80-\uffff])/g, function (a, b) {
return "&#"+b.charCodeAt()+";"
Paste these 2 files in "Commands" folder and you have "Convert Foreign Characters to the Correct HTML codes" command. Anyone knows how to do it for symbols only?
Thanks

With XHTML doctype becomes invalid if you try to validate.

Dreamweaver cs6 keeps adding br tags in code view

Hi
I've just upgraded to Dreamweaver cs6 and am having trouble with the code view. When typing in <script> tags or <style> tags I keep getting two <br> tags automatically inserted. It is really annoying as it puts them on two lines and takes time to remove them and completely disrupts your flow when typing code or css.
Any suggestions on how to prevent this happening?
Thanks.

Thanks David - I think that may well explain it. It seems to happen mostly when adding a { in code or CSS. I wonder if I'm still holding the shift key when I hit enter for a new line. I'm trying Dreamweaver again after using visual studio for the last 5 years or so. I wonder if I can just change the keyboard shortcut.

In dreamweaver cs6 12.0, build 5842, there is no syntax coloring on main code view?

In my dreamweaver CS6, why is there no syntax coloring showing on the main code view window on php or any files? It works in window>code inspector, but this does not have all the same functionality. ther is no preferences icon anywhere that I can see to turn this feature on or off? This used to work until just recently. Nothing on google, but the main basics. I tried checking preferences under syntax coloring and all is okay and shows color. I also reinstalled and restarted PC. I am on a macbook with retina display. on mountain lion with latest updates. CS6 is different than cs5 in menus. Please help soon!

Thanks for the help. I didn't think the retina did, I just wanted to help clarify what I was working with. I tried changing the external editor also and that got the split design view working again, but still no code coloring gosh darnit.

DW CS6: Extra empty blank line in code view causing trouble!

Hi all,
I searched for hours for a solution to the following problem, without any success.
When coding in Dreamweaver CS6 (Version 12.0, Windows 8.1), an extra non-editable blank line is automatically added at the bottom of the document (in code-view). This is a nice feature, since it clearly separates the end of the document from the rest of the DW user interface. BUT:
WHEN you have "Word Wrap" disabled (i.e. horizontal scroll bars appear if one or more lines are longer than the current view),
AND no line is actually longer than the view (i.e. NO horizontal scroll bars),
AND you click somewhere into the document while the vertical scroll bar is at the very bottom,
THEN the code view jumps one line upwards causing a selection of 2 lines.
This might not seem to be a big issue at first glance, but surprisingly often all of the mentioned conditions are met.
Is there any possibilty to somehow get rid of this problem?
Note: The problem does not occur when any of the above conditions is false.
Cheers!
CamelCase

This is strange...
Yes, I just updated DW to 12.03 a minute before I posted the question. ;-)
Are you sure you cannot reproduce it? Is there a blank line at the bottom of your editor as well?
Here are the conditions again:
Word Wrap is disabled.
No line too long for vertical scrollbar to appear.
Scroll fully down in the code view.
Click somewhere into the document.
Effect: The view jumps exactly one line upwards (such that the mentioned blank line just disappears), and instead of a blinking cursor, two lines are selected.
Here is a screenshot before/after the click:
I appreciate any help. Really, thank you!!

Can't select code in Dreamweaver cs6

Hi,
I can't select html code in Dreamweaver CS6. Instead a line appears with a small square at the top and bottom. What is this, and how do I turn it off? I've searched in the forums and the only suggestion that I found was to check whether I am using a template, but that isn't the case. This is occuring on existing and newly created files. I have the view set to Designer with split view.
Thanks

Not sure what you mean by a line with a small square at the top and bottom. This is normal when you select anything in code view:
When you click one of the boxes, it collapses the code like this:
To expand the code, click the box next to the line number.
If that's not the problem, please describe what's happening in more detail.

Does CS6 have Code View Within The CCS Document?

I would like to know with Dreamweaver CS6 do you get
to have activated Code View with in the CSS document?
I have no problems accessing the code view with in a PHP
document as you can see below:
when I use a character similar to what I use in PHP on
the CSS document that all I get is the grayed out code
view in the properties section as you can see below:
Is their some where in the general settings that
allows me to use the code view input table
on a CSS document?
any advice would be greatly appreciated

.css documents are "code only" documents that can only contain cascading stylesheet elements.
You cannot use HTML elements like <body> tags within a .css document.
EDIT: For more information on what is allowed in a .css document, run the css tutorial here: http://www.w3schools.com/css
