DW CC14 blue highlighting in Design view

I'm building a site with the responsive workflow, and for each DIV in my layout, while editing, I get a light blue overlay. It doesn't go away while I'm typing or editing, and it's REALLY annoying. I mouse over a div, it turns blue, the whole time I'm editing pretty much.
I can't find how to shut it, hopefully, off. Any ideas?

I most certainly can NOT be the only one who is having a blue transparent overlay of every div in CC 2014. I have the most basic fresh install.
I made a short video showing what I'm talking about. It's literally making dreamweaver a complete joke to me. I already dislike the new workflow, I can never find which rule is the right one to edit with the new CSS designer windows, but that's another story.

  • Highlighting in Design View the selected code in Code View

    I'm a complete newbie to DW so forgive the probable obvious question. I've loaded up a complete site template that was created outside of Dreamweaver in order to modify it for use elsewhere.
    I want to be able to select chunks of code in the code view, mainly <DIV>'s and have them highlighted in the design view, just imagine the "Inspect" functionality, but in reverse.
    Is this something that's already possible that I just haven't found?
    Thanks In Advance
    Andrew

    A couple of options to consider:
    Turn off your CSS.  View > Style Rendering > un-tick display styles.
    You'll see an unstyled page you can work with.
    Read about Design Time Style Sheets (F1 help).  DT style sheets are simplified css files that you can use while you edit your site.
    DT style sheets have no effect when you preview in browsers.

  • Design View - Everything Highlights

    In Design view of CS5 Dreamweaver (OS Windows 7), when I click to make a minor revision, everything highlights.  I read a post to right click in the design view & go to Element View > Full because I have the following style in my wrap div in my CSS file - overflow:hidden;
    I use this style all the time, and this is the first time I'm having problems with working in the Design view of Dreamweaver.  The solution above works, but sometimes I have to do it twice before it takes affect.  Anybody know the reason this happens?
    Thanks.

    Now I'm not sure why I felt a need to use overflow:hidden; in both my wrap and container div tags.  To make a long story hopefully shorter:
    I have a live site and I recently copied all files to a new site which are uploaded to a test folder, because the site is being redesigned.
    The live site has the overflow:hidden; in both the container and wrap div tags.  I have never had a problem editing content in the Design View for the live site or for other sites.  Here is a link to one of the pages:
    http://www.greenkarat.com/mykarat/reuse.asp so you can view the source.  The direct link to the stylesheet is:
    http://www.greenkarat.com/css/greenkarat.css
    In the test site, as soon as I clicked within the Design View, everything got highlighted.  I just tried something different.  I removed the overflow:hidden; from both the wrap and container div tags, and now I can work in the Design View with no problem, which brings up the question of what was the purpose of the overflow:hidden style in the first place, but I have used that on all websites I have programmed.  Here is a link to the same web page in the test folder:
    http://www.greenkarat.com/test2011/mykarat/reuse.asp.  The direct link to the stylesheet is:
    http://www.greenkarat.com/test2011/css/greenkarat.css.  The overflow:hidden has been removed from the container and wrap div tags, so I no longer have a problem.
    If I put the overflow:hidden back in this css file, I, once again, have the problem with everything being highlighted in design view.
    I don't understand why there's no problem with the overflow:hidden for the live site, but there is a problem in the test site.
    Thanks for any help!

  • Design view (CS3) is completely highlighted - can't edit content

    On one of the websites I have developed, when I go to Design view and click on the content I want to revise, all content and photos are highlighted, so I can't just edit one word or sentence.  I have to go to Code view and search for that content in order to change it, meaning I don't have the ease of adding links in the Design view, etc.  One of the web pages with this problem is:  http://www.greenkarat.com/TEST_NEW/about/education.asp, which validates.  The CSS is http://www.greenkarat.com/TEST_NEW/css/greenkarat.css, which also validates.  Below is a screen print of the design view that doesn't allow me to edit.  How can I clear this up?  Thank you.  P.S.  If I "temporarily" remove one of the closing div tags - </div>, I can then edit in the Design view, but I need to add the div tag back in before I upload the file to the server.  If the div tag is not added back in, the page does not validate

    http://www.greenkarat.com/TEST_NEW/about/education.asp is a dead link (404 error).
    Can you re-upload so we can see the page?

  • DW won't highlight properly in design view

    When working in design view I can't get photos to highlight or divs to activate quickly. It's taking me twice as long to work because in order to get the elements active my work around is to put it in inspect mode then select element, take it back out and then it is hit or miss whether or not the handle bars or activation boxes light up. Sometimes it takes me 5 or 6 try's. If anyone knows a solution I would greatly appreciate help.
    Thank you,

    You click anywhere in design view and then look at the bottom left screen and you will see something like this:
    Now if you click on <p>, your paragraph will be highlighted.  If you click on <section> your entire contents of section will be highlighted.  Hope this gives you the idea.
    This is only possible in Design View.  Code view will not help you here.  Split view might be another option to try it.
    Good luck.

  • DW code view custom highlight color from design view (split view)

    I would like to change the "Code view" highlight color from it's default to something more contrasty ... so while using "Split view" - when I select an element in "Design View" the corresponding code in "Code view" would be easier to find ...
    Anyone knows how to customize this setting wit DW CS5??
    Thanks!

    DW Code View uses the Selection colors defined for your Operating System.
    If you don't know how to change that, which OS and version are you using?

  • Snippet adds extra space in design view

    Hi All,
    I've created a supercript snippet that is set to wrap with
    design view preview (just sup tags before and after the selection).
    If I select the text to apply the snippet in design view then
    dreamweaver adds an extra space in front of the 'after' block, it
    doesn't if I select the text in code view.
    Does anyone know a way to make this work properly in design
    view as having to do it in code view all the time is just
    really annoying?
    Cheers,
    Tosh

    I cannot confirm this on my Mac or PC.

    Dreamweaver is pretty good these days at showing the page in Design View how it will be viewed when online. HOWEVER having said that it does largely depend on the way you write the css.
    I guess for Dreamweaver it's impossible for it to show every concievable way you can write css correctly. Unfortuantely if your css is not compatible with what Dreamweaver likes it won't make a great job of rendering the site correctly in Design View, that's always been the case.
    The css is not wrong but I've seen many display issues in Dreameaver Design View caused as a direct result of the css being overly complex to crack simple presentation. I guess it's in the lap of the gods if you are fortunate enough to have found the way to write css that Dreamweaver likes.

  • Lists not showing in Design view

    If I preview page in browser, I can see the bulleted list,
    but it is not visibile in design view, pretty annoying. Anyone know
    why this might be happening? I validated my code and got no
    errors...

    Open any html page
    either type the element in code view, say h1. Hello
    it doesn't show up in Design View (It's visible in Live view however)
    Or,
    In Design View type Hello (yes, it's visible!)
    Highlight Hello, then right click (I use a 2 button mouse)  select from the pop-up menu and format the hello as h1. Hello
    It disappears from the design view... (yes, it's visible in Live View)
    Menu spry's and other "widgets" inserted do not display correctly in Design View, but display Okay in Live view
    (This behaviour did not happen in CS4)

  • Rendering - position on report preview is not where field is in design view

    Hello all,
    I have looked over the forums as best as I can and have not located a post like this. Please feel free to point out an existing post if there is one.
    I am working on a report that is designed to print payment information on pre-printed check stock. In the first link please notice that in Group Footer 4 I have highlighted a field that while in the design view it appears where I would like it when I run this report in the software it will be generated in it shows up in a different location as seen in the second link. The dollar amount of $365.07 (called @PeriodNetpay) is designed to show to the right of the check number (called CMRef) in design view and instead shows to the left of the check number in the rendering software.
    [report as seen in design view|http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/94/201108151100.png/]
    [report as seen in rendering of report|http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/828/201108151059.png/]
    I was originally using Crystal Reports Professional 11.0.0.1282 to create the report. The rendering software I am working in uses the 11.5.0.0 version of the reports rendering engine ( I can provide a dll version on request, please just let me know the necessary dll file name) and is called Crystal Report XI Release 2 .NET 2005 Server in add/remove programs. This happens intermittently so I am not able to repeat the problem at will. It always shows correctly when I preview the report in Crystal
    I have verified that there is no formula present that drives the X position of the field as seen in the Object Size and Position window. I am not aware of any other formula location that can modify the field to move as shown. I am unable to control the rendering software version.
    Any suggestions on where to look next or any other observations would be appreciated.
    Thank you
    Scott

    Hi Scott,
    You were close, I moved your post to .NET SDK forums. Since it works in the designer and only an issue in your app...
    Only thing I can suggest is you verify you are on Service Pack 6 and the redist package?

    https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100013451312010E/crxir2_fp64_server_ins.zip
    Then it could be due to the default Printer you have as compared to the user. Some of those Drivers are very old and have problems. Get them to install the latest Printer drivers and make sure they are .NET compatible...
    And what Language are they using, I'm wondering if this has to do with right to left orientation....
    Thanks

  • Design View Refresh doesn't work on mac CC

    Hi Y'all, I'm having horrible trouble with Dreamweaver CC on mac, (10.8) quad core, 32GB RAM...
    when highlighting something in design view, it does not highlight the respective code anymore like the older versions used to.
    and the design view refresh does not work at all.
    I've completely uninstalled, reinstalled, checked all system fonts for problems, I can't get this problem fixed, and I'm going to have to ditch CC and go back to old version, to be able to work!
    here's a video showing the problem I am having:
    http://youtu.be/HHSpyc2Icrw
    thanks in advance for any help!

    I've just watched your video, and it's clear that you're having problems. The only obvious difference between your setup and mine is that you are using horizontal split view. So, I've just tested on my MacBook Air. Refresh and highlighting work just fine in both horizontal and vertical split view.
    I realize that saying "well it's OK here" isn't much help, but your problems seem to have some other cause than simply having updated to the latest version of Dreamweaver CC.
    Hopefully an Adobe staff member can intervene and draw your problem to the attention of an engineer. It would be useful to know if this happens on all pages, and all sites, or if there's something special about your current setup.

  • Can't edit text in CS3 design view

    Hi,
    I have a big absolutely positioned DIV tag in most of my
    pages, practically the whole page content is inside it.
    In DW CS3 design view very often (maybe 50% of all times) if
    I click inside it to edit the text, DW selects the entire DIV tag.
    The cursor becomes like a cross with arrows, the DIV border becomes
    outlined with a thick blue line, and I can't edit the text no
    matter how much times I click. If I move the mouse with left button
    pressed, this moves the DIV and changes the .css file where the
    position is defined. DIV can't be de-selected with Escape, left or
    right clicking.
    The only way to get out of this is to click somewhere in the
    code view, then go back to design view where hopefully text can be
    edited. Sometimes I have to repeat this twice or even 3 times ,
    it's extremely annoying and time consuming.
    Is there any workaround?
    Like to disable selection of containers in design view, or at
    least a quick way to deselect the current selection?
    This problem does not appear in DW8 when editing the same
    files.
    thanks

    Nasty. Why?
    Do you have an overflow style on this div?

  • Design View - Can't Select Text, Only Divs

    This is a page I did not build, and I hope I can describe this properly. Here's the published page -
    www.wheeltime.com
    I'm in CS4 and there are two things going on when trying to edit in design view. The first is I can't select text of content. Clicking to select said content, say a line of text or a word, selects and highlights the entire div container and all the content within in one big chunk. Why is DW not letting me select the actual content? This is the first time I've enver encountered this issue. 
    This is the same for all the div ontainers on the page. But another, perhaps related problem, has to do with this content area. In design view, there's a fixed height, so not only can I not select the content, but I can't see it all. It's OK in the browser, expands as it should. I've looked at all the properties anywhere and don't see any height attribute anywhere, especially those that enclose this area of content.
    One this that has be wondering - this content area is warpped in a "main-content" div, with a class applied. But this div has no corresponding entry or properties in the style sheet. I can see where a div can be used that has no specific properies of it's own, but is it OK to not be mentioned at all in the style sheet? And can this affect what's going on in design view editing?
    So, I guess the question is - what is governing this inability to edit in Design view?  Thank you in advance!!

    Have you tried double clicking the content?
    I'm not sure what causes this exactly, but I downloaded your page and ran it in my DWCS4. It did the same thing until I double clicked the content of the divs. That allowed me to select it without issue from that point on.
    It may have something to do with the content being wrapped in <span> tags within each <div>.
    Onto your other question, your <div id="main-container"class="container"> is being affected by the .container class in your style.css file rather than a #main-container id.
    EDIT: HTML id's like <div id="main-content"> serve to identify elements for many purposes, not just css. There is no problem with giving an element an id simply for organizational purposes, though usually they are used as targets for javascripts, css or php scripting purposes.

  • Design View Hanging CS3

    When working in Design View in DW CS3 the page takes an age
    to change when highlighting links or placing my cursor over text.
    The only way that i can fix this is if everytime i move my mouse to
    where i wish to be in design view I click F5 to refresh the page so
    i can see the elements. The machine is running Win Vista Ultimate.
    I also have DW CS3 on a Win Xp machine and it works fine.
    Can anyone help with a solution.

    I have 4 sites I maintain. My local copy of the files were on an hard drive that didn't crash. So file structure did not change. DW Template file under a subfolder in EACH site.
    I did a small edit on one of the pages and uploaded to the web and it shows all the images as it should.
    Two of the older website have images defined in the template file not in the css file, they show correctly in design view.
    The two newer sites use a template that has background images defined in the css file- those are the ones that are not showing the images in the pages when displayed in design view.

  • How to disable the blue highlight fields around links in a PDF in Adobe Reader 10.2?

    I've created a document in InDesign CS5, and when viewed on Adobe Reader 10.2 (on an iPad) all the table of contents links within the document, and all links to external websites have a blue highlight field around them. While I appreciate the fact that it makes it obvious where links are, it looks remarkably ugly to have huge blue highlights all over the document. There must be a way to turn these highlights off, right? Either from the source document within InDesign before the PDF is created, or from within Adobe Reader or Acrobat after the PDF is made? I have all the links within InDesign set to "Invisible Rectangle", and it looks great when viewed on older versions of Adobe Reader or in iBooks. Unfortunately, older versions of Adobe Reader don't support hyperlinks on tablets. So somebody using Reader 10.2, however, is now forced to view this document with ugly blue highlights. Is the only option to avoid the highlights to recommend everyone use iBooks to view the document, or is there a way in Reader 10.2 to disable these?

    Might be better to post this in the Acrobat or Indesign forums.
