Dreamweaver CSS problem

Hi,
I am new to CSS but dreamweaver makes it easy and I understand it. However I have a problem I do not understand.
I created a CSS page with properties like centered content, header/footer, background image etc. I created the CSS page with the build in template in dreamweaver. So far so good. When I create a new html page and link link this page with the CSS page only part of the content from the CSS page appears. The content that appears is only the centered content. Please see below:
This is the CSS page:
@charset "UTF-8";
body {
          font: 100% Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
          background: #FFFFFF;
          margin: 0; /* it's good practice to zero the margin and padding of the body element to account for differing browser defaults */
          padding: 0;
          text-align: center; /* this centers the container in IE 5* browsers. The text is then set to the left aligned default in the #container selector */
          color: #000000;
.oneColLiqCtrHdr #container {
          width: 80%; /* this will create a container 80% of the browser width */
          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. */
.oneColLiqCtrHdr #header {
          background: #FFFFFF;
          padding: 0 10px 0 20px; /* this padding matches the left alignment of the elements in the divs that appear beneath it. If an image is used in the #header instead of text, you may want to remove the padding. */
          height: inherit;
.oneColLiqCtrHdr #header h1 {
          margin: 0; /* using padding instead of margin will allow you to keep the element away from the edges of the div */
          background-image: url(Grafik/test%20web/Untitled-13.jpg);
          background-attachment: inherit;
          background-repeat: no-repeat;
          height: 120px;
          width: auto;
          padding-top: 10px;
          padding-right: 0;
          padding-bottom: 10px;
          padding-left: 0;
.oneColLiqCtrHdr #mainContent {
          padding: 0 20px; /* remember that padding is the space inside the div box and margin is the space outside the div box */
          background: #FFFFFF;
.oneColLiqCtrHdr #footer {
          padding: 0 10px; /* this padding matches the left alignment of the elements in the divs that appear above it. */
          background:#DDDDDD;
.oneColLiqCtrHdr #footer p {
          margin: 0; /* zeroing the margins of the first element in the footer will avoid the possibility of margin collapse - a space between divs */
          padding: 10px 0; /* padding on this element will create space, just as the the margin would have, without the margin collapse issue */
This is the first html page that was created using the CSS template:
<!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">

Now, when I create new html pages and link to the CSS page it looks like 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>
<body>
</body>
</html>
Maybe this does not show a lot, but what is missing from the CSS page is the background image, the header and the footer. What am I doing wrong?
Thank you in advance.

As you can see this is the code on the new html page
<!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">

</html>
When I look at this code and compare it with the code for the very first html page that got created when I made the css file all of this is missing:
<body class="oneColLiqCtrHdr">

Possible CSS problem?

Hi All,
I am in the process of making a website for a friend, when I ran into what looks like a css problem.
I purchased the css file in a template from a guy who does tutorials on youtube, I have contacted him on several occasions but his customer service is pretty awful and he hasn't replied to any contact.
When using a mobile or tablet to view the website the header and footer area is pushed to the left. (please see attached image)
I added 100% to the following containers but still it never changed them.
#header-wrapper
#footer-content-wrapper
#footer
If I change the widths to 1000px then it sorts it out for the mobile view but then the website on a pc/laptop is distorted.
the website can be found at www.leightonsterling.com
Thankyou in advance.

There's nothing wrong with your site. That's exactly what fixed-width, centered layouts do in smaller displays. They move to the left. If you want a responsive web site that adjusts to mobile and tablet device widths, you need a Responsive Layout.
Look at FluidGrid Layouts in Dreamweaver CS6 & CC. Or use one of the following Responsive Frameworks to jump start your project.

Css problem in internet explorer

Hi to all!
On my page as part of the page template I have build in a little drop-down user panel on the left top of the page.
html:<div id="userpanel">
<span><img src="'#APP_IMAGES#openSlidedown.png" /> <a>logon: &APP_USER.</a>
<div id="userpanel_hsreg"><p>Autorisiert für: &APP_CODES_DISP.</p>
<p>| #NAVIGATION_BAR#</p>
</div></span>
</div>css:#userpanel,
#userpanel * {
        position:relative;
     font-family:verdana; font-size:12px;
     margin:0; padding:1px; border:0;
     white-space:nowrap;
#userpanel a,
#userpanel span { display:inline-block; }
#userpanel>span>a { color:#999; }
#userpanel span:hover div { display:block; }
#userpanel>span:hover > a { color:black; }
#userpanel_hsreg {
          display:none;
          position:absolute;
          left:+5px;
          top:+24px;
          background:#fff;
          padding:10px 18px;
          line-height:180%;
          border:1px solid silver;
          border-radius: 6px;
          box-shadow:1px 2px 5px #aaa;
          z-index:99;
#userpanel>span>a {
          border-bottom:1px solid silver;
          margin-top: 5px;
          }So what happens is this: if the user hovers over the "+logon: username+", a little box pops up with some further information (the item &APP_CODES_DISP.) and the logout-link. Below this link, the Navigation bar starts. So while the box pops up, it covers a part of the region below, what its meant to do.
The promlem is, that this doesnt work in Internet Explorer properly, when its launched from apex. Instead, the popup-box is displayed behind the region below. In Mozilla, as always, everything worls fine. This problem ocured already, when I opened the html-file from desktop, but I fixed that by putting the z-index-attribute in. Only now, in Apex, its still now working in IE. I am not that of an expert in css. I have tried different XHTML declarations in the header, all no difference.
The current one:<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">This might be a bit of a tricky issue, so I dearly hope, someone can help me. (Similar problem like the other threat I started recently here where the round-corner attribute is not working in IE-Apex, but this time its a bit more vital. :) )
I have v 4.0.2.
Thanks and greetings,
tobi

Hi again!
This turns out not to be an APEX-issue, as I tought first, but rather a css-problem. Maybe therefore I'm in the wrong forum, but maybe someone can help me anyway.
I have created two pages with the relevant element: (login with test/test please) one page with standard tabs and another with my own html-navigation. Now Internet Explorer has the option "Compatibility View" which in our company is activated by default. On page 1 it makes no difference, but on the second, with Compatibility View on, the drop-down box apeares behind my selfimplemented navigation bar. WHY IN GODS NAME DOES THIS HAPPEN??
I have posted the same question in a german web-developer forum (here) also, because its quite urgent that I solve this, and as I mentioned above, many colleagues work with IE.
So if anyone here is a css-IE9-expert... :)
Thanks and best regards,
Tobi
edit: ok, its solved. The userpanel-div needed a "z-index:1;" attribute for IE. :)

Does electronic version Adobe Dreamweaver CSS with PHP content question

Does electronic version Adobe Dreamweaver CSS with PHP come with the labs or files used in a college course? What is on the CD and is there a way to get the content with the Barnes and Noble e-book? This should be a Barnes and Nobel question but they seem to have troubles answering the questions like this.

Electronic version comes with absolutely nothing about your course. All you get is everything in this link:
<http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=dreamweaver>
The link will give you 30 days of free use of DW after which you might get bored with DW or you will have given up on your course and started your own business to pay your school fees.

Dreamweaver encountered problems while constructing the menus from the current menus.xml file

So, after having trouble with my Photoshop scratch disk, I had to do an archive and install of my Mac OS 10.6.1 then reinstall the Adobe suite. I then had to run the Licensing Repair Tool (http://www.adobe.com/support/contact/licensing.html).
Now everything works but Dreamweaver, which is throwing the following error:
"Dreamweaver encountered problems while constructing the menus from the current menus.xml file.
Please delete the current menus.xml file and rename menus.bak to menus.xml"
I tried that. menus.bak is a directory, not a file. Even renaming the directory didn't work.
I saw this http://forums.adobe.com/message/2188511#2188511
but I don't have a /FlashPlayerTrust/ directory, nor do I see what that has to do with Dreamweaver.
I couldn't find a corresponding solution for this http://forums.adobe.com/message/862339#862339 for the Mac OS.
This http://forums.adobe.com/message/3396334#3396334 didn't help, either.
Anybody have any ideas?
Thanks!

This is the error I got after deleting (moving) the configuration directory.
"No document types have been found in the Configuration/DocumentTypes/ folder. The MMDocumentTypes.xml file may be missing or corrupted. The application will exit now."
I've reinstalled the entire Adobe CS4 (which fixed my Photoshop problem but created this Dreamweaver problem) and then reinstalled Dreamweaver alone.
I've also attached a screenshot of the Dreamweaver directory tree with the menus.xml files.

Dreamweaver Installation Problem

Hi
I have started to download Dreamweaver and shortly after the serial no is accepted the message comes up to close Adobe Bridge CS5 ( Bridge.exe ) - I do not have Bridge open but can remember getting a similar message when I installed PS5 a couple of years ago. Unfortunately I did not note down the solution which was given to me at the time - I think this is also hindering me downloading Bridge updates.
Can any one help ?
Regards
Martin

Thankyou - that worked. Just as a matter of interest why does the process show even if the application has been closed down ?

Yes another strange IE CSS problem

Hi all,
I was wondering if some kind soul could help me work out
hopefully my last CSS problem. If you look at my site:
http://www.aclighting.com/shop/
in IE you will see a light blue line at the bottom of the left hand
side navigation menu. In Firefox and other browsers it isn't there,
they are behaving, but I can't work out why IE is showing that
there.
This is the HTML
Class mid is what shows the blue line.
#shop #content-wrapper #menu .mid {
background: url(/images/menu_div.gif) no-repeat left top;
padding-top: 9px;
padding-left: 5px;
color: #FFFFFF;
font-weight: bold;
font-size: 100%;
I don't understand why its showing near the botton in IE.

Its on you background image?
http://www.aclighting.com/images/menu_bottom.gif
IE is probably making a container slightly higher for some
reason and
therefore shows more of te background image.
Just use a 'dedicatted' background image minus the blue line

Dreamweaver CSS Mac writes image links wrong... img src="/www/images/asian_sales_office.jpg"

Dreamweaver CSS Mac writes image links wrong... <img src="/www/images/asian_sales_office.jpg" width="x" height="x" alt="x"> Took me a bit to find this, now back to hand coding all image links and also checking other code. Any fixes?

That looks to me like you may have your site definition set up incorrectly and you appear to be using "Site Root Relative" vs "Document Relative"
Go to Site > Manage Sites > click the site you are working on > Click the Edit icon > Advanced Settings > Links relative to: should be set as Document, unless you have a very specific reason for choosing Site Root there
If your server root folder is called www, you'll need to remove that folder from your site root. You are only transferring files from root to root, so the name of your local root folder is not important (the files inside it go to the server root). It is important not to accidentally have a duplicate of the server root folder inside your local root though which would accidentally nest your files within another folder when transferring to the server.

Dreamweaver Cs3 CSS Problems

Good day, I am having problems using my new version of CS3.
When I am working in split view, or design view for that matter,
any css that I add to the page does not show up when designing the
page. Whether it is inline or attached, I don't see the changes to
the page while working on it. Is there something I need to adjust
in my properties to make this work? I have not had this problem in
Dreamweaver MX 2004. Any and all help would be so helpful. Thank
you in advance.
Rob

Hi SnakeEyez, thank you for a prompt reply. I do not have the
page uploaded as I just started working with it. I don't understand
how it would be a code problem if Dreamweaver is adding the code
for me. For example, when I add
<style type="text/css">

</style>
the page is still white when designing. Any ideas why this
is? Thanks.

Dreamweaver CSS image problem

Hello, everyone. I am somewhat new to to program, so forgive me if my terminology is a little off. Basically, I'm having trouble with getting images included in the CSS to display on the web. They've visible and perfectly laid out in Dreamweaver's design view, the code matches that of several pages already published correctly (so there shouldn't be a problem there), and when I preview it in Internet Explorer, it looks like it should, but once it's actually "PUT" only the text within the website displays.
The only thing I can think that may be causing this problem is the fact that I moved around the root folder a bit not long ago (becuase this problem started after that), but since then, the site has been redefined and I had to "GET" a few of the images that weren't displaying. Possibly I may need to "PUT" these images again, too?
I'm at a loss here, folks. if anyone can offer any guidance or input, it would be much appreciated. Thanks!

http://www.ifpress.com/htmlbars/header.html
Get you the header include.
http://www.ifpress.com/htmlbars/homeleftpanel.html
Get you the left panel
http://www.ifpress.com/htmlbars/main.html
Get you the ah....not sure on that one.
So your includes are in a folder htmlbars off your root for your site.
That is what I was pointing out.
Murray, you are right there are a lot of problems with the way it is structured.

CSS problems in Dreamweaver CC?

I am having problems getting the CSS to update properly when I make changes to the code in the CSS document in the left panel. I have to go into CSS Designer to make the changes in addition to writing code in the css document, but it is often easier to update the code in the document and not use CSS Designer.
At one point, a bizarre thick border appeared on an element that I had NOT styled in either CSS Designer or in the CSS document. When I tried to change the border, the border did not show up in settings in CSS Designer or in the CSS document panel. The only place that affected the border was by using the Properties in the panel at the bottom of the app window. Once I accessed the "CSS Designer" from the Properties panel, I could see the settings and get rid of them.
Wondering if this is some kind of bug? Or if anyone else is experiencing problems making changes to css in the css document window?

I'll look for a DW forum. FYI, I'm on a Mac OS10.8.5, with most recent update for DW CC. I attached an external css to the file and it is shown correctly under Sources in CSS Designer (no extra styles are in the head of the document); that part works just fine. Formatting borders is pretty straight-forward—specify style, width, color for each side.
The question is why changes to the css don't always take effect if I write the css as code in the css panel (on the left side using split view)—even when I do a save. When I ALSO change settings in CSS Designer the changes DO appear in the CSS code panel, even duplicating the code I just entered there. One time I had to use the "Edit Rule" in the Properties box at the bottom of the app window to get the css to update.
The lack of consistency interferes with workflow.
I wish I could write the css in the code panel and have a refresh button like the one for Source Code changes.
Often it is much faster to write the css in the code panel. Scrolling through all the settings of the CSS Designer can be tedious and it's easy to make mistakes.
An example of this css is a sidebar div with a bottom border. When I was setting this up, it ended up with a thick solid black bottom border and I had trouble making a change. Eventually I succeeded via the Properties panel, but it should have updated via the css code panel OR CSS Designer.
#sidebar {
border-bottom: thin dotted #055900;
So, maybe this is a Creative Cloud issue, or maybe a DW issue.

Dreamweaver cs5 problems and adobe support close the case on you

I emailed Adobe support with the message below and they closed the case on me and told me to go over to the developers connection website and open a case there. Well of course there is no where to open a case there, it brings you back to the normal support pages, so I opened a case again!
This is just one of the flaws in Cs5 I've found from intensive useage yesterday.
1. Hangs for nearly 2 minutes if you use an external link to ny file like jquery in the header of the pages - detailed below
2. Sometimes when selecting a related file it says "not on server" and actually tries to open ANOTHER ftp connection listed. It switches connection and then says"not on server" - well of course not....because it just changed to another server! However many time you change it back, it won't have it.
3. The pop up css is a good idea but not well thought out. I have to right click to get inspect but when I roll over the areas it doesn't show the css in the css panel. If I right click and select to show the code, it shows me the css, I then have to click it to select it in the left column. All very long winded... WHY NOT JUST CLICK AN AEA ON THE LIVE VIEW PAGE AND IT SHOWS THE CSS THERE INSTANTLY TO EDIT?!
4. On first open after a quit and relaunch, or restart, switching from normal view to live view hangs Dreamweaver for over a minute before live view is displayed.
Very very buggy and I feel I have paid for a beta version.
Hello I now have Dreamweaver CS5.
It has MAJOR flaw.
If a webpage contains the code
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.4.2.min.js"></script>#
It takes over 1 minute to open each page after launching
This is caused by the 'related files' facility
THIS IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE in software which is this expensive.
All design companies such as us use jquery.
Please fix this flaw asap or supply me with a fix. Turning of related files
helps but if I was to do that what would be the point in
having that facility? (which I am paying for!)

Second, the Bug Report form is here: https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform . Technical support is not a bug reporting center, nor are they developers which is why they probably closed your case. And there really are not any questions in your support request it reads like a bug report and an angry one at that, not even starting out calm, shouting almost immediately.
- Frustration, I've been up all night, hours messing with it.
Thanks for the link, I'll post to that. I personally don't agree that bugs this big should be present in software of such high upgrade fee's and which should have been tested but I guess we all know its the way of the world now.
1. Why are you working with remote website files that are not part of your domain and not in your local site? This is a bad practice to get in the habit of. If their website shuts down, so does the functionality of yours. Many here will argue that point.
- This is a valid point I've come across before and reading up on it I found it was said that the site in question was on cloud servers, mirrored etc. The link I posted was from someone elses post who was having a similar problem. I personally use the flowplay/jquery main link which has ALL the jquery plugins/effects so whatever is used on that page works.
http://cdn.jquerytools.org/1.1.2/full/jquery.tools.min.js
We did this as it seemed that was what everyone was doing, it seems I am wrong and I take on board your comments about downloading the file.
2. "Sometimes". That is the key word in your statement. Sometimes it happens, sometimes it doesn't. What happens when it says "Sometimes not on server" and what happens in the other times. What's different? It's usually hard to believe it's random luck. But developers in a bug report need to know these things. What's different about the file(s)? Is it with certain file(s), type(s), etc? How would it open another FTP connection, do you have multiple FTP locations defined within one site definition?
I probably used the wrong word in 'sometimes' - A better description would be "some of the related files". When live view is on the right and code on the left, related files across the top. If I hover my mouse over the files, it tells me where they are. This info is incorrect on 'some' of the files, not all of them but about 8 out of 10.
It shows the file as being in the folder of another account in the site defs, but its not in there, it's in the one I'm working on (and which is live in the ftp file window). So if I click on the file to view it, it says its not available, and asks if I want to download it from the server. That doesn't work because it then tries to switch the ftp connection to the other site and download.
I thought it was muddled so I removed all the ftp sites and set up just one, the one I was working on. But that didn't work... it then thinks the related files are in "unnamed site 1" - anywhere but looking in its own folder or on its own ftp server!
4. You seem to be referring to Question #1 here so that is answered.
"Please fix this flaw asap or supply me with a fix." - So you are saying Please fix this flaw with a patch or give me the patch. Again, this sounds like you want to file a bug report and not create a support request.
- Accepted, you are right, its a bug report, just they directed me to the developer website and I kept ending up here, so began to believe this is where I should be posting.
"All design companies such as us use jquery". - While I wouldn't be so quick to say all, but rather most, I would say see my answer to #1. Why make your site dependent on someone else's?
- Accepted, I appreciate your honest comments and critism and fot taking the time to reply :-)

Link to CSS problem (in Design View)

Hello Dreamweaver experts,
In the Design View Dreamweaver CS3 is not picking up the
styles specified in a linked stylesheet. Let me explain...
I am using an application in our office that relies upon HTML
(but does not use a standard web browser).
I need to refer to linked stylesheets using a variable like
so;
[example #1]
<link href="{FILES_DIR}/path/css/stylesheet.css"
rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
The use of the variable construction "{FILES_DIR}" eliminates
the need to hard code a drive letter into the link which is
preferrable. Without "{FILES_DIR}" I have to hard-code the drive
letter like so;
[example #2]
<link
href="file:///K|/additional-path-details/path/css/stylesheet.css"
rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" -->
Both examples above yield the same result in the application
(the stylesheet is found and its styles properly applied).
However, only with example #2 does Dreamweaver's "design
view" pick up and apply the stylesheet. Dreamweaver cannot find the
stylesheet or apply its styles using example #1.
My question is how can I make Dreamweaver understand and
apply what "{FILES_DIR}" means.
Any tips, tricks or pointers would be most welcome...

Did you look into "design-time" styles sheets? That may solve
your problem.
It won't take care of the path in the document though...

Dreamweaver SWF Problem

I am a relatively new Flash/Dreamweaver user and cannot seem to figure this one out.
I have checked my root files and *believe* all of them are pointing to the correct files, but for some reason my .swf is not loading in any browser; only locally.
The .swf doesn't show up on its own (ie: at http://www.5enses.eu/Index_.swf), which is odd. I heard it might be a path problem, but I have no idea how to fix it.
The site is:
http://www.5enses.eu/Index_.html
Code is:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
<title>5 | FASHION/ART | FRAGRANCE | MUSIC | CUISINE | SEX</title>
<style type="text/css">
html, body { height: 100%; padding: 0; margin: 0; }
table { text-align: center; height: 100%; width: 100%; border: 0; }
</style>
</head>
<body>
<table>
<tr>
<td>
<object id="FlashID" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="1200" height="800">
<param name="movie" value="Index_.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="wmode" value="opaque" />
<param name="swfversion" value="15.0.0.0" />

<param name="expressinstall" value="Scripts/expressInstall.swf" />


<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="Index_.swf" width="1200" height="800">
    
    <param name="quality" value="high" />
    <param name="wmode" value="opaque" />
    <param name="swfversion" value="15.0.0.0" />
    <param name="expressinstall" value="Scripts/expressInstall.swf" />
    
    <div>
      <h4>Content on this page requires a newer version of Adobe Flash Player.</h4>
      <p><a href="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer"><img src="http://www.adobe.com/images/shared/download_buttons/get_flash_player.gif" alt="Get Adobe Flash player" width="112" height="33" /></a></p>
    </div>
    
</object>

</object>
<script type="text/javascript">
swfobject.registerObject("FlashID");
</script>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
My swfobject_modified.js and expressInstall.swf are both uploaded under a Scripts folder and loose in the root directory.
Thanks for your help!

Publish Settings in Flash when you're exporting the SWF:
Under HTML wrapper settings as shown above:
Size should be 'Percent' at 100 width and 100 height
This will make the entire area of browser a wrapper for holding your flash SWF
Now, the important part: Scale & Alignment: I've opened the drop-down menu in the screenshot:
Default (Show All) will fit the SWF movie to screen, keeping the aspect ratio intact - but will leave white space on either sides, if your screen's aspect ratio and the SWF aspect ratio don't match - scales when browser resizes
No border will fit movie to screen, but will bleed the borders with the stage color you set in Flash and may crop the content sometimes - scales when browser resizes
Exact Fit - Shows complete content to occupy full screen width & height and doesn't maintain aspect ratio - may cause stretching - scales when browser resizes
No Scale - doesn't scale movie to full screen - container will be 100% width & height but SWF shows at exact stage size - doesn't scale when browser is resized
