Dropdown Style Design Mode Preview

RH9
After creating a Drop Down Hotspot style to incorporate "twisties", the applied style does not show in Design Mode.  It works as expected when previewed and published, but it would be nice to be able to tell that something is there when editing the topic.
There appears to be 3 ways to tell that the style was applied when viewing in Design Mode.
Cursor changes when hovered over the text (2 dots)
Text shows with shading behind it (This is not always the case, and I cant tell what I did to make it show or not)
Can use View>Show>Tag List
Although these are "OK", its not a definite visual that can be identified easily.  My preference, if I could have one, is for Design mode to show the Arrow graphic I used in the Style.
Any guidance with my concern would be greatly appreciated.

it's the only place where they get noticed officially by Adobe

  • Background color does not show in a design mode preview

    Hi,
    I installed Macromedia studio 8 a couple of days ago, and
    started using Dreamweaver 8 with a "Missing Manual" book. I'm on
    first chapter and following tutorial. It says to change a
    background color to blue, and I did that. But this change was not
    reflected in a design mode preview. I checked the code and it's
    there. I viewed in an IE6, and it was there. My coworker installed
    an evaluation version on his pc and it worked fine. I guess it's my
    pc that has problem. I had IE7 and VS2005 on the pc when I
    installed Macromedia 8. Due to help crash, I uninstalled IE7. It
    did not solve the problem, so I uninstalled VS2005 and related
    programs, and it did not solve the problem. I uninstalled and
    reinstalled Dreamweaver 8 a couple of times, and it did not help.
    Does anyone out there who have similar experiences, please share it
    with me? I post this here before redo my pc. Thanks.

  • Design-Mode and Preview differ a lot

    On one of my pages the design mode does not show the same as in the browser. (The space between image and text). I wonder, what failed to do.
    Anyone an idea? Thanks for response.
    design mode
    preview mode

    Please check if any scroll is applied with key position as it comes in preview  , additionally have you tried pinning the content on page ?
    Thanks,

  • Elements in Design Mode and Preview Mode are Different

    I've encountered an irritating problem in Muse. The elements arranged in design mode are shifting erratically in preview mode. I'm trying to set up "buy" links for my client's CDs using amazon, cdbaby, itunes icons. The buy buttons are place below the audio player widget from MuseGrid. Right now they are just pics - no hyperlinks attributed. If anyone has advice, I'd be grateful as this problem is driving me nuts and costing me hours!!! I am using the
    Design Mode                                                                                                Preview Mode

    Hi,
    Please try grouping the objects on the page. It resolved such issues in most cases.

    Aish

  • GIF won't play in design mode, but previews fine... any ideas?

    My animated gif loops in browser preview, but only plays on the stage when i move it around.  If I leave it selected without moving, it sits there frozen.  Any ideas why my gif won't play properly in design mode?  Thanks!

    Thank you for confirmation that that is how things should work.  I'm new to
    the program and following some Lynda tutorials to get up to speed.  My most
    recent lesson included the gif in exercise files, and everything seems to
    function both in Photoshop and the browser.  Even in edge design mode, if I
    press on the gif and move it around, it plays and loops fine.  But as soon
    as I stop moving the gif, it returns to first frame and stays stuck there.
    Whether selected or not, it just sits there frozen.  If I switch
    applications and come back to edge, I catch a glimpse of other frames, as
    if the gif was playing in the background.  But then it stops again, kind of
    like a watched pot   The behavior seemed glitchy to me, but I thought I
    might be missing a setting somewhere.  I'll try with other gifs, I guess..
    Thanks again!

  • mx:Image no image preview in Design Mode

    Inside my Flash Builder (4.01) AIR project, the image preview in design mode for the mx:Image component does not show the image set with the source attribute.
    This seems to be a project specific problem. When I create a new project , insert mx:image and set the source to an image, the image is previewed just fine. I also get a possible related error saying : "Design mode could not load swiz-framework-1.0.0-RC1.swc. It may be incompatible with this SDK, or invalid. (DesignAssetLoader.CompleteTimeout)"
    This error pops up in several google searches and is by some regarded as an sdk bug, so I dont know the relevance here.
    This happens in various flavours of the Flex SDK  (4.0/4.1 latest versions).
    Thanks in advance

    Ok, I found out it has definitively something to do with the "Design mode could not load swiz-framework-1.0.0-RC1.swc. It may be incompatible with this SDK, or invalid. (DesignAssetLoader.CompleteTimeout)" warning. This somehow affects the loading of the mx:Image.
    Recompiling the SWC might work with the swiz swc, but there are more swc's giving this error like the google maps swc which does not have the source avalable freely.
    This is a real pain as I like to use a mockup image in Design Mode to place components exactly as provided by the design team.

  • Why is the character style for hyperlinks not displaying correctly in design mode/viewing/output?

    I am using RH9 and generating WebHelp, and I needed to globally bump up the font size of just my hyperlinked text. I went into my Style Sheet > Character tab, changed the font size of the various character settings for hyperlinks, and clicked Apply and then OK. Normally, this would change all of my hyperlink text font sizes immediately across all of my topics. However, this time, it made no changes to any existing hyperlinked text, and it only affected new hyperlinks that I subsequently added. For the existing hyperlinks, I can only manually change the font size of the each hyperlink one at a time, but that's crazy (there's 100's in this help).
    I can successfully change other characters styles and paragraph styles. This issue only affects the hyperlink character styles. It also shows up in all RH modes - Design mode, viewing, and in the final output.
    Is this an indication of a corrupted style sheet or some other combination of events that I have yet to discover?

    Hi,
    You probably have inline styling in your project overwriting the font size of your style sheet. How are you changing the font size of the individual hyperlinks?
    There is a workaround for inline styling: Open your CSS in notepad and add !important after the font-size:
    font-size: 4pt !important;
    Note that this is a workaround, not a solution. As a solutions you can remove all the style attributes from your hyperlinks to force them to take the CSS styling again.

  • Preview Mode shows different page than design mode

    When I am editing my page in Design mode in Muse CC, the page is approximately 700px long. When I preview that same page within Muse, it adds about 300px to the bottom of the page. There are no text boxes or other content that is causing the shift? Why are my webpages appearing different in the Preview panel than in my Design panel?

    Please send your .muse file to [email protected] with subject marked Att:Vikas.
    Thanks,

  • Pie Charts causing Design mode to give warning and not preview the app

    I am using the final release. I have pie charts in my app. I
    also have column charts. Both are fed data the same way. Both work
    as expected when i build the app, and there are zero errors in the
    app. however, i was experiencing an issue in flexbuilder where in
    design mode, a vague warning was issued and the preview could not
    be displayed (blank except for very gernal 'outlines' of the layout
    and controls)
    I narrowed the problem down to the pie charts. Is anybody
    experiencing this problem? The application worked as expected, and
    previewed as expected in Design mode when previewd/built in Beta
    3.

    Hi masavran,
    For this issue, it's related to the render environment (browser/application). On Reporting Services side, we don't have any properties to change the resolution for chart to make it smoothly. We suggest you post this thread on Visual Studio forum
    http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/home?forum=visualstudiogeneral&filter=alltypes&sort=lastpostdesc
    Or the forum of corresponding browser.

  • Looks good in design and preview mode, online there is box in lower right corner! How to find box and delete it?

    www.nssgranite.com
    Online, scrolling down and to the right, there is a white box that is linked to a different web site of mine. I don't want that box to be there, but I can't find it in design mode nor preview mode when working with the Muse program. Where is it?? I want to delete it!!

    Thank you. However, I went in, expanded every single layer and did not see anything that was missing it's "eye". I clicked and unclicked everything that was a rectangle and found one rectangle that didn't seem to have representation on the screen. I deleted this rectangle from the layers box, uploaded the site to the internet hoping for the best, and unfortunately this did not solve the problem.
    I wonder, should I just create a new page from scratch to replace this page?
    I don't know if you've seen my other question, but this isn't the only problem I am having with my Muse site. The layout is distorted on all but a select size of screen, and most likely I am going to have to revamp things quite a bit to make them work on the average computer display.
    Thank you for any further suggestions because I am totally open to other thoughts on this!!

  • Xcelsius 2008 - Unable to preview changes made in design mode

    Xcelsius 2008 - Unable to preview changes made in design mode
    I have installed Xcelsius 2008 (RTM) and also Service Pack 1 / Fix Pack 1.1.  Unfortunately, I can now not preview changes I made in design mode (but can see the change in design mode).  In addition, if I save the changes made to the Excel spreadsheet (using this as the datasource) and then exit out of the application, then go back in, the changes have not been saved?!
    I have also installed Fix Pack 1.3, but the same issues occurs.
    This is causing us issues as we have developed a number of dashboards that can no longer be updated.
    Please could someone advise?
    Many thanks,
    Neil.

    I would recommend decomposing large sets into more manageable sets.  For instance, if you have data for a very large regional district, decompose the data into smaller sets for sub-districts.
    As for a paper, I'm not sure, but the main determinant of performance is how many cells you bind to the component.  For a typical component on a typical computer, I'd recommend no more than 9000 cells.  On a weaker computer less, on a stronger computer more.

  • Footer extends longer in Preview Mode then in Design Mode

    I have attached two JPEGS that show my footer in "Design" mode and in "Preview" mode. 
    In "Design" mode the footer is perfect.  It is the size and distance it needs to be at.  However, when viewing it in "Preview Mode", the footer extends downward farther then it should.  I've looked all over the page to see if there was something from another graphic or image or shape that could be extending downward and I don't see anything. 
    Take a look at both images and tell me why this is happening?  I did have a lightbox gallary on this page.  I thought that the gallery was extending it downward so I removed it to test my theory.  Even after removing it, it still does not work the way it should.

    Like Vikas said:
    Check if you have Sticky Footer enabled:
    File > Site Properties
    Page > Page Properties (for master and child pages)
    Let me know if neither of those work, it could be that you just need to preview in browser to see what the true height will be in the footer.
    Hope this helps!

  • Preview and design mode issues

    I would like to report a couple of glitches in Muse. 
    Problem #1:
    I had a pair of photos that I added some text with in a separate text box.  I had problems with alignment, so I put the photos into a  slideshow with the text:
      I hit enter to space everything out properly, and a portion of the text moves above where I want it, and overlaps existing text, and the column shrinks:
    If I hit enter again, then delete, the text moves back to where I want it to go.
    Problem #2:
    On occasion, when I preview a page I am designing, it looks jumbled with text in places I never put it and opacity is reduced, like it's under layers.  I deleted all text on the page and re-previewed with no difference in how it appeared, text still jumbled and out of place with text I just deleted.  I revert to last saved and luckily that fixes it, but it sets me back a few steps.  I didn't save any screen shots from that fiasco, but I did with the next one that occurred:
    in Design mode I added the red links on the left of the Home page like this:
    Preview showed a mess with the text I have on the master page like this, no links, and nav tabs placed above everything:
    I have sent this to Adobe for a response with my export file and screen shots and haven't heard anything back yet.
    Please advise.
    Thank you,
    Chad

    I have updated Muse to
    Realease version
    V2.2, build 6, CL 770942
    AIR Runtime: 3.4.0.2540
    I made some changes to the "Animal Facts" page,
    Saved it, Exported it, then uploaded it to my server.
    What is shown in "Plan mode" is consistent with what I have designed, but I can't get it
    to publish that way:
    Now the changes that I made aren't showing up in the Firefox preview when exported, the Firefox view once published, or the preview within Muse.
    Further the screen that shows up I can't find on the "Design mode" to change or delete it:

  • Style changes show in Design mode but not in Live View or online.

    I'm using CS5. I modified a style sheet and the changes showed up in Design mode just the way I wanted them. I switched to Live View and they did not show up. I put the new style sheet on the server and it the changes do not show up online. The basic change was to add a border around some text that serves as a link to another page in the site. The source code can be viewed here: The Akshaya Home | Akshaya USA. The relavent lines are 71 and 72 at the bottom of the banner div. The CSS code is:

  • When snapping a rectangle to the top of the page left space between rectangle disappears in the preview (not in the design mode)

    I think the image looks more descriptive than my words actually.. When I move the first rectangle to the top of the page the gradient background disappear in the preview (on the right side of the screen), even though I still can see that in my Design Mode (left handside). Everytime the top rectangle snaps to the top of the page the second rectangle snaps to the first one in the preview (both muse preview and browser preview)...Any help?

    Seems you have applied scroll on second rectangle with key position setup on top of the page edge as a result when page edge is reached the second rectangle scrolls up on the page.
    If this is not the case then please provide more details.
    Thanks,
    Sanjit
