Editing Code in Dreamweaver

I started out designing my website in dreamweaver but then switched to Microsoft Expression. After working with ME for a while, I want to go back to dreamweaver. For some reason, the code does not load up properly in dreamweaver when doing the split or design view. What could cause this? It is almost like the tables are not filling our or being displayed. If you want to try doing a view source on my site or something, here is a link.http://www.jewelryboxavenue.com/
You will see that for some starnge reason parts display corretly and others do not...

I did the convert, but it did nothing. Still hav 231 error. Is it becuase it was already transitional?
Yes. This is apparently a bug in CS5 - if you try to convert to a doctype that is already on the page, nothing happens. To get the conversion to proceed properly, you would need to first convert to XHTML 1.0, and then back to HTML 4.01.
Anyhow, the reason the page is not displaying properly in DW is that your table code is flawed. Open this page in DW - http://www.jewelryboxavenue.com/Wooden-Jewelry-Boxes_c_13.html - scroll in Code view to line 183, and look at the code. You have this -
</tr>
<tr>
</td>
<td>
That's an invalid structure - you cannot have </td> without a corresponding <td>. Adding it will dramatically improve DW's rendering of the page.

Edit code crashes Dreamweaver

I'm pretty new at this so there's lot I don't know yet...
When I try to edit right in code view, it crashes
Dreamweaver.
Also when I try to open up the code view it says "Exception

How do I edit my Android Apps Code in dreamweaver? As well I can't find any of the App options that I keep hearing about in my cloud based Dreamweaver.....

I already have an app that I paid someone to make but I needed to make some changes to the code and wanted to do it in Dreamweaver. How is it best to load my code into Dreamweaver, navigate through it, and find the code I need to change? As well my version of Dreamweaver ( It the new Cloud based ) doesn't have any of the App features. Do I need to load it differently or something?

It really depends on how the app was developed and loaded. DW can help with web interfaces and some parts of the app development, but depending on the complexity and language of the app you may need additional tools like Xcode (Apple) in order to modify the app.

Editing text in Dreamweaver CS4 on Mac 10.6.2 causes paragraph ends to disapear

Editing text in Dreamweaver CS4 on Mac 10.6.2 causes paragraph ends to disappear.
When adding bold in design view (strong) to two words at the start of my paragraph the last line of the paragraph disappears. This is somewhat worrying as it means any editing I do in dreamweaver could do massive amounts of damage to the content.
We are pasting the original content into the code view so as to strip the formating Dreamweaver then decides to take the last line break in the source code paragraph and then delete it see example below:
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Aenean dignissim nisi id risus varius ut scelerisque massa consectetur. Vestibulum non tortor augue, sit amet dictum lacus. Cum sociis natoque penatibus et magnis dis parturient montes, nascetur ridiculus mus. Curabitur ultrices felis et dui tincidunt sit amet tristique est pulvinar. Nulla a lectus quis erat ornare ultricies. Sed ac elementum magna. Nulla aliquet accumsan nulla. In dictum accumsan tortor eget consequat. Suspendisse potenti. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Nunc et orci eu augue condimentum sodales quis id mauris. Nam enim nisi, convallis eu volutpat non, malesuada quis nulla. Sed auctor nulla et tellus vehicula lacinia interdum odio lobortis vehicula lacinia interdum odio.
So when applying Strong with the Bold button in the design view to the first words 'Lorem ipsum' the last part of the paragraph 'lobortis vehicula lacinia interdum odio' will be deleted. Bizare and very dangerous especially for Annual Report content.
Any experience of similar or solutions would be greatly received.
PS. I have restarted, repaired permissions, checked dreamweaver is up to date trashed plist's and removed duplicate fonts.

It could be a problem in the templates.
In all honesty, I just tried pasting text into the Design section of a page.
It doesn't even work on my Mac, and it took three tries to get it to actually paste in VIsta.
I had to go to the code and reformat it after it did paste, but it eventually went.
I don't work with templates much.
Well, that actually makes me feel a little better, if it makes sense to feel better to learn that it could be the expensive software and not just us. I guess I will view this as an opportunity to improve me coding speed :-) Thanks for the feedback.

I¹ve created a graphic in Fireworks CS3 on the Mac and

Then I highlight the table and click the Edit in

table could not be found in the HTML. Please export from
Fireworks and

What?!!
I¹ve only just exported it from Fireworks! It¹s
even got the Fireworks table

Has anyone else had this?

When you export the sliced graphics from Fireworks it places
them into a
table. In my instance the code says...

So it recognises Fireworks was the the graphics app and jumps
back to it
when you want to edit the image. Fireworks then displays (or
should) a
Done¹ button over the window. You do your alts and
press Done to update the
HTML and graphics back in Dreamweaver automatically.
That¹s the only table I was referring to Murray.

Edited template in Dreamweaver, once uploaded...another story!

I purchased a template and began to edit it in Dreamweaver 8. It looked great until I uploaded it. Some of the background doesn't show, as well as certain icons and logos. Everything has been uploaded using Yahoo! Webhosting. I uploaded the layout.css and style.css files and still no go. This is how the website looks now: http://www.gyrlspeedracingteam.com This is how it should look: http://gyrlspeedracingteam.com/25875-b Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Andreana

Alright, I created a js folder and woo hooo. The other images that were actually there I moved to the images folder...did not have to do that with my previous template, just upload and go. I have to admit that I googled absolute and relative links and I see the difference. I guess I've been "linking" like that for so long, I wouldn't know otherwise. It seems to be something I would do once I get my site nearly completed. Thanks so much to Gary and bregent! I guess I can mark this answered.

Flash code into Dreamweaver - Help please!

I am using GoDaddy for my hosting account. It is on a linux
server. I have created an HTML page and loaded it up to the
internet using Dreamweaver, like I normally do. the page in
question is
http://www.desmoinesbilliards.com/gallery.html
When I use dreamweaver to insert the flash movie, it
transfers it as normal, but it will not show up on the website. The
flash movie works fine on the server, just cannot be seen on the
site. I called Go Daddy who said that there is a problem with the
way the code is calling up the Flash movie. I have not altered it
at all from the way that Dream weaver inserts it. The flash movie
is located in a folder on the site called 'flash'. The code is
below. I can't figure it out, any help would be appreciated. The
code that dreamweaver inserts is below. By the way, I use
Professional 8 version of both products.

Upload the scripts folder that DW places in your local site
when you insert
Flash on a page.

Edit code while in debug mode in CC

Hi,
I have just upgraded to Flash CC, and can no longer edit code while in debug mode. It appears the code window becomes read only while debugging. This is problematic because I often find it very useful to copy in variable names from data visible in the variables display portion of the call stack. This is very helpful if I have made a typo in my variable names, or if I am reading out data from a network request and I don't know the variable names ahead of time. Is there a way to unlock the code window so it does not become read only during debugging?

Hi Amy,
I appreciate that you are trying to help, and from a purely coding standpoint see the advantages to Flash Builder IDE over the Flash Professional IDE. Although personally I am a Visual Studio kinda guy... However I am working with a fairly large code base, (we are a small game studio that has been working with flash cs4, 5, and 5.5 for the past 5 years) and while nobody that works for me is crazy enough to put code on the timeline, we do have a significant amount of UI elements, dialogs, and layouts that are designed in the Flash editor with logic in classes that extend those elements. Now correct me if I am wrong, but it is my understanding that you cannot build FLA files from flash builder let alone have them link with the classes that are set to extend them in Flash Professional. The move to CC actually gives us access to Flash Builder - something that previously was an additional $500 a seat. While it may make sense for us to use in the future, for now I am faced with the issue of the new Flash CC has removed the ability to edit the code while debugging. I was hoping there was a setting or a hidden option to turn this very unnecessary change off, I wasn't really asking for a critique of my IDE choice.

Edit websites in dreamweaver

can anyone tell me how to use dreamweaver to edit websites that are not made in dreamweaver??....plz help.....

Dreamweaver works on local files. To edit any website (even those not made in DW - after all, it's all HTML), you would first need to have a DW site defined with a local root folder, then you'd need to get the files (and their dependent files) into that local root folder, and finally you can then edit those files using DW. Ordinarily, this requires some FTP connection to the remote site so that you can not only GET the remote files but also PUT them back once you have edited them. Dreamweaver has the ability to do this - when you define your site you also specify the FTP connection details.
I suggest you also use DW's F1 Help to read about defining a site.

Key shortcut, issue, typing something in editing code and changing language going directly to snippets.

Key shortcut, issue, typing something in editing code and changing language going directly to snippets.
So the problem is that I have to click in the editing code again to write in different language, which it didn't happened before.
Just in case of shortcut keys collision I completly removed the shortcut of snippets from shift+F9, nothing changed. I really can't understand why when I press Alt+Shift to change language it goes straight to the snippets.
If anyone can help would save me from nervous breakdown!
Thanks,
GKD

Since this appears to be a "just started happening" issue, have you tried clearing the program cache?
Deleting a corrupted cache file
That tends to catch a lot of weird behaviors and straighten them out.

Editing code in packages

How do i go about editing code in a package? I've been copying the code, deleting the package, editing the code in a separate editor, creating the package again and pasting the code back in.
Also, are there plans to enhance the code editors in HTML DB?

Why can't you "create or replace package" instead of deleting the existing version everytime ? Do you use tools like TOAD ?
Check out the new version2 of HTMLDB, you can now create/edit packages online.

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.

Issues editing Layouts using Dreamweaver CS4 (ShopOnline)

Hi Everyone,
I am having Issues editing Layouts using Dreamweaver CS4 (ShopOnline). May be someone has encounter this problem. When I open the large_product.html in dreamweaver (after installing the extension for BC) the file opens, but when I go to the property inspector, I can not modify any of the css rules currently defined and no css is linked to this file. I looked at all the available css's and I could not find any with the defined rules in this page.
I need help. Thanks.

It must be a module template layout that is being used. If you're on the latest interface it's under
Site Manager > Module Templates > Online Shop Layouts > Individual Product (small or large)
and if you're on the older interface it's
Ecommerce > Products > Advanced Layout customization (under the “related” box at the bottom right)

ColdFusion Builder - Slow when editing code

I have seen this many times on other forums, but haven't found any working solutions - my installation of the standalone Coldfusion Builder 1.0.0.25339 is nearly always very very slow when editing code (wehether this is cfm or css) i'm assuming the code hinting it somewhat to blame, but don't want to turn it off.
Any help/solutions welcomed.

The current state of the product is that it's rife with performance problems.
Hopefully they'll be fixed in the next release.
What you're seeing is just how it currently works (ie: slowly).
