Embed YouTube into Fluid Grid Layout

I'm new to using the new DW Fluid Grid and I've got a layout with two div's side by side. On the Desktop Grid, I'll have one div take over 7 columns and the other 5. In that div, I want to embed a YouTube video but I'm not sure what the embed settings should be so the video can expand and contract like images do. How do I set that up?
This is what I'm using for my embed code:
<iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/XXXXXXX" height: 100%; width="100%" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Do I need to add a width and height? Or like images, should I use no heights or widths at all? Idea is to have it fit the entire div.

Check out this article:
http://webdesignerwall.com/tutorials/css-elastic-videos
Basically... get rid of the height and width attritutes in the iframe, and wrap the video in a new div!
Hope this help,
Julia

CSS height property use in Fluid grid layout

Hi, I'm totally new to fluid grid layout and just got started in it. I have a div tag that has 5px height and I sucessfully applied that and seem fine only on Tablet landscape (1024x768) and Small tablet landscape (800x600), nevertheless it isn't even displaying on Mobile portrait (320x480), Mobile landscape (480x320), Small tablet portrait (600x800) and Tablet portrait (768x1024).
My coding is below

I really do appreciate your efforts to help me solve this problem... Thank you in advance

Height is determined by content. I can't think of a single reason to have a div height of 5px because almost nothing will fit inside that small a space without problems.
As to why it doesn't show up in other devices, you must have put that style into the Tablet CSS code instead of the default Mobile CSS code.
Fluid Grids build up from Mobile (applied to everything) with specific rules for Tablets, then Desktops.
Best advice, use Fluid Grids for layout only. Use a separate CSS file for content styles.
Hope this helps,

Fluid grid layout problem

I am trying to create a fluid grid layout. In fact it is why I purchased Dreamweaver CS6. Problem is after I create the first div which I named header it works fine. However, on inserting the next div Dreamweaver inserts the following text in my index.html:
@charset "utf-8"; /* Simple fluid media Note: Fluid media requires that you remove the media's height and width attributes from the HTML http://www.alistapart.com/articles/fluid-images/ */ img, object, embed, video { max-width: 100%; } /* IE 6 does not support max-width so default to width 100% */ .ie6 img { width:100%; } /* Dreamweaver Fluid Grid Properties ---------------------------------- dw-num-cols-mobile:3; dw-num-cols-tablet 8; dw-num-cols-desktop: 12; dw-gutter-percentage 20; Inspiration from "Responsive Web Design" by Ethan Marcotte http://www.alistapart.com/articles/responsive-web-design and Golden Grid System by Joni Korpi http://goldengridsystem.com/ */ /* Mobile Layout: 480px and below. */ .gridContainer { margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 85.9444%; padding-left: 2.5277%; padding-right: 2.5277%; } #LayoutDiv1 { clear: both; float: left; margin-left: 0; width: 100%; display: block; } #header { clear: both; float: left; margin-left: 0; width: 100%; display: block; } #nav { clear: both; float: left; margin-left: 0; width: 100%; display: block; } /* Tablet Layout: 481px to 768px.

I suspected the respond.min.js file was causing the problem so I downloaded an update but it didn't help. At this point I am not able to use this feature of Dreamweaver. Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks for the help. I am using version 12.0 build 5861.
I was trying to follow the example in a book I have called Dreamweaver CS6 – The Missing Manual. When I got to the section discussing Fluid Grid Layout, I attempted to follow the example step by step. I was able to insert the first div which I named header. I looked at my css file and it had placed the #header.
I knew that I had to remain within the container div. I went into the code view and placed the cursor to the right of the header div. I then clicked the insert Fluid Grid Layout Div Tag button. That’s when it automatically inserted all of the code I indicated in my post.
I then started to follow the example in http://www.adobe.com/inspire/2012/08/fluid-grid-layouts-dreamweaver-cs6.html . I got the same results.
I’m beginning to wonder if there is an error in the Dreamweaver software itself.
Any help you can give will be appreciated.

How do I get my Fluid Grid Layout page to resizes from portrait to landscape for iPhones?

Starting in portrait on my iPhone 4, the fluid grid layout page does not resize when I turn to landscape. After I refresh / resize to fit the page on landscape and then turn the iPhone to portrait, the page resizes just fine. Everything seems to be working just fine on the desktop, ignoring IE. Could it be my media query tags?
If anyone knows a solution, it would be much appreciated. Thanks.
Here is my test page: http://www.bedroomandmore.com/1_b_fluidGrid.html
Here are my media query tags (the first set of rules does not have the media query tag and becomes the default):
@media only screen and (max-device-width: 480px) and (orientation : landscape) {
@media only screen and (min-width: 481px) {
@media only screen and (min-width: 769px) {

How can I convert my web page from a fixed width layout to a fluid grid layout?

I'm taking a web design class (I'm using Dreamweaver CS6, btw) wherein the professor started us out building our websites in a fixed width layout but now I want to change my site into a fluid grid layout. My "site" so far is just one long page, and I've already designed it with fluid grid adjustments in mind (most things are centered in the layout) so it shouldn't need excessive tweaking.
Is there a way to duplicate the site folder that holds my first page, re-open a new document in fluid, then copy the code in and tweak the width parameters for the different layouts?
Did I just answer my own question? Help - I am new at this!!
Thanks all,
KC

A bit off-topic, but Osgood: have you ever used SASS or LESS? When you are building your own grid systems it can save you a tremendous amount of time, and it's a lot of fun.
Take the following simple example - it generates all the 23 css classes automatically for a 12 grid system. And simply changing one variable allows you to create and calculate any number of columns!
//variables
$desktop: 1025px;
$large-columns: 12;
@media only screen and (min-width: $desktop) {
     //regular grid span classes
    @for $i from 1 through $large-columns {
        .span-large-#{$i} {
            width: percentage($i/$large-columns);
     // push classes
    @for $i from 1 through (($large-columns)-1) {
        .push-large-#{$i} {
            margin-left: percentage($i/$large-columns);
No, not explored it yet, and may never....I don't know. I don't really make much money out of web design. It's becoming more and more difficult to find the desire to learn new techniques when the opportunities aren't really there to put them into practice on as regular basis as I would like. I've got a very good handle on css, php, html, jQuery - I'm not sure I want to add another layer at the moment, given I'm never quite sure how long I will continue to 'bang my head against the wall' . I'm getting to the stage where I keep asking myself do I really need the problems associated with learning new stuff to the point of being comfortable with it if the financial rewards at the end don't equate to the efforts of learning it.
I don't really enjoy web development if truth is known. I come from a Graphic Design background which I much prefer but somehow got side tracked and pushed in this direction and there's no way back now, lol. Whilst I concede Web Development is much more exciting its also 100 times more complex/difficult and the skills needed are considerably more.
Your example looks interesting and I should think I could pick it up reasonably easily given I work with php which uses variables on a similar basis.

How to setup a default direction for new divs in fluid grid layout in dreamweaver?

Hi,
how to setup a default direction for new divs in fluid grid layout in dreamweaver? I am an RTL interface user, I need my new divs to be inserted from right to left not Left to Right! could it be in dreamweaver?
Thanks.

This may get me into strife, but my experience is that you are better off finding another platform for your RWD.
The framework that I tend to use is by Zub-Foundation http://foundation.zurb.com/.
A commercial product that I have come to appreciate can be found here http://www.projectseven.com/products/tools/composer/index.htm. Please do not mention me if you happen to choose this product.

DW CC Fluid grid layout how to change px width for desktop layout

Hi there,
I have been going through the various tutorials about fluid grid layout and setting up our bureau's website in a responsive layout.
The width of the original design was 960 px and the hero pic and others have been exported at that size.
The first divs in the design look fine, header with the 960 px pic in it, and also the BC menu which is set to 960 wide.
However the body text goes out to the right, past the 960 px and this is because, right at the start, when starting the file in DW the desktop screen width is set to 1232px.
How can you change this setting when starting a new fluid grid layout?
I have tried changing the number of columns, or the percentage, and the width for desktop remains at 1232px.
Why is this?
Not all of our clients want a site 1232px wide on a pc.
Thanks so much.

Hi Ben and Nancy,
Thanks for your replies, but maybe you both don't realise I am asking specifically about DW CC and setting up a responsive design using a fluid grid layout?
I have been following the recent videos from Adobe on this.
As far as the width of 960 goes, Nancy I am only shortchanging myself, as this is the website for our agency. The original design is 960px wide as I did read somewhere that this width is recommended now that responsive is coming, as it is easily divided into a grid layout. I also am quoting for a client at the moment who wants a responsive design for their website, and they have specifically requested that the site have a maximum width of 960 px. So I would like to find out if this is possible in DW CC at the moment when doing a fluid grid layout.
So what I am trying to do here is follow the Adobe tutorials on responsive design, using DW CC and I am using the current design for our agency website as a trial to set this up and try and get it working as a responsive website.
It does not seem to me that many other people are doing this, as most people are recommending that I try Github or Bootstrap.
However, I am not a coder and I am used to using DW, so I would like to get the DW CC responsive design features working if possible.
Ben the CSS you are looking at is being generated by DW CC as I follow the steps in the Adobe demonstration videos to set up a fluid grid layout in DW CC.
One of the things they say in the videos is that you can't program the CSS directly when doing a fluid grid layout, or you break the CSS and it all stops working. So I am using the new panels in DW CC to set up the layout. One thing I cannot get access to is the ability to set a maximum width for the site. It seems to be set in concrete when you start the fluid design up in DW CC.
Here is a pic of the screen I am talking about that sets the maximum width:
I cannot click in the pixel width at the top and change it. Also if I adjust the number of gridlines or the percentage for the pc layout, the default maximum pixel width does not change.
If you click on the preferences button and go into the Window sizes screen, there does not seem to be a way to set the maximum pc width here either, so I am a bit stumped.
Maybe I just have say to my clients that if you want a responsive design then the max width for pc can only be 1232px? It does seem strange to me that this cannot be changed.

Dreamweaver CS6 Fluid Grid Layout

I fear there may not be a solution to this issue! I have placed several hotspots on an image in a Fluid Grid Layout div in DW CS6 and the problem is quite straightforward. Whilst the "image" reduces perfectly when viewed in Tablet and Smartphone screens the "hotspots" remain in the same position they were at in the Desktop view! The result is the same irrespective of which view you set the hotspots in. Is there a solution to this problem or is it insurmountable?

OK. Let's just paste the script into your HTML page and see if that works.
Open your page in code view.
Replace this:

<script src="fancybox/maphighlight.js"></script>

With all of this:

<script>

DW6 fluid grid layout issue: writes to page instead of css file

Using DW6 (version 12, owned, build 5861) on Windows 7 64 bit.
Following tutorials and the help files to use the fluid grid layout.
Start a blank page on a new site, which inserts the starter div and new css file
Immediately save page, which also generates/saves ancillary files (js and css).
Remove inner div that's created in order to use my own (have also tried leaving the default one in place and using that)
Insert new div, within the "gridContainer clearfix" div.
Place cursor just after that new div, still inside "gridContainer clearfix" and add new "fluid grid layout div tag", new row.
Following same method, do so again.
Dreamweaver adds the generated CSS code to the actual page instead of the expected div, visibly (minified)....and everything breaks. It does *not* add the code into the CSS file from there on and the only way to have it display the div (which does not show any visual indicators since the CSS is basically lost that would do so, is to CTRL-Z to undo the last step. It undoes the CSS showing as the only content in the HTML file, and *does* show a div with the name I'd given it. If I copy/paste that generated CSS into the fluid css file *then* CTRL-Z, it looks the way it's supposed to, with drag handles, visible indentations and so on.
If I then change div widths or position, it does record those changes in the CSS file, so it appears this is only when inserting new divs after the second one that's a problem (third div inside the container is when it starts choking; none overlap).
This is repeatable, on both desktop and laptop, running the same version. I've tried saving after every div insertion, only saving at the start, code view only, split only...
I've tried searching for someone else having this issue and must not be wording the search properly, can't find anyone else seeing this. It's a weird one.
If anyone can point me to something to try so the workaround isn't needed, it would be appreciated.

OK try this workflow.
Create a new FGLayout and SAVE. This will save your CSS file with whichever name you give it.
Switch to Design View. Click on Mobile Display. Build your mobile layout first since this is what everything else is based on.
Insert a few Divs and don't worry about content. Just get the basic Div structure stacked one on top of the other like this:
<div class="gridContainer clearfix">
     <div id="div1">
          Div 1
     </div>
      <div id="div2">
          Div 2
     </div>
     <div id="div3">
          Div 3
     </div>
      <div id="div4">
          Div 4
     </div>
</div>
Hit Save and name your HTML file.   Do not edit the CSS file. DW will generate the necessary layout code for you.
Switch to Tablet Display.
Grab the right side handles to resize divs and move to row above as desired.
Save often during development.
Switch to Desktop Display and repeat.
Once your layout is built, test media queries by previewing in browsers by resizing viewport
When you are completely satisfied with your responsive layout, begin adding content and use a separate external style sheet for content styles. DO NOT EDIT boilerplate or Layout CSS files as doing so could break your layout.

Full width slider in a fluid grid layout ???

I'm fairly fluent in Dreamweaver building fixed pixel sites, but cannot seem to grasp fluid grid layouts. At least with what I'm trying to accomplish. mostly all of the tutorials Ive seen dont address anything complicated.
Question:
I'm trying to achieve a 100% nivo slider at the top of a page, with a main body area below it that only uses 960px or what ever the equivalent would be as a percentage. How do I do this?
Initially for testing purposes, I tried to experiment by simply creating two divs. One full screen and one less than that. What I am seeing first is that after creating two divs, and placing color in the divs, when viewed in browser, it does not fill the screen and leaves a small margin on either both side. Looking into the css properties, there's padding in the grid container and the percentage is less than 100%. Why If 100% is selected when setting the new document properties.
Maybe this is the wrong way to achieve what I'm trying to achieve, but I did attempt to get started here. I'm totally lost here guys and girls. Are there any advanced tuts out there that address this?
Thanks in advance!
Bob

Thanks for the input. I have the slider working now. Placing it before the grid container worked. Also setting the desk top grid to 81-88% answered my other question. That renders the gutters I'm looking for. But I have a question. I asked this above. If I select 100% on the mobile, 100% for tablet, and 88% for desktop, why does DW produce padding in the css files? I keep hearing references to not mess with the css file, and create a new file to perform styling. Can I safely delete this padding and change this percentage to 100%? Confusing to me. If it's mobile first, and all calculations are based on these numbers, then.... Well you understand what I'm saying.

So secondly, do we create a separate css file for styling?
And third, how do you create subsequent pages. Does this work with dwt files?
Thanks in advance. I will get my head around this soon, I promise.

How To Center Fluid Grid Layout Div Tag

Hello I am remaking my webiste and am new to fluid grid layouts. I am trying to center the images you will see in my website into the middle.
I can use pixels to center it but it will not be centered for all screen resolutions. What do I have to change in the css rule defintion to center it all out or simply move it to the side?
WEBISTE: http://auto-republic.com
CODE: http://pastebin.com/LujvaGek
Thanks in advance!

In HTML Code View, line 53 - 56, replace what you have now with this:
<div class="gridContainer clearfix">
     <div id="LayoutDiv1">
     <p>LAYOUTDIV1 CONTENT GOES HERE<p>
     </div>
     <div id="LayoutDiv2">
     <p>LAYOUTDIV2 CONTENT GOES HERE</p>
     <a href="#" onmouseout="MM_swapImgRestore()" onmouseover="MM_swapImage('wrecker','','images/wreckerservice/wreckerservice2.gif',1)"><img id="wrecker" src="images/wreckerservice/wreckerservice2.gif"></a><a href="#" onmouseout="MM_swapImgRestore()" onmouseover="MM_swapImage('facebook','','images/facebook/facebook2.gif',1)"><img id="facebook" src="http://auto-republic.com/images/facebook/facebook1.gif"></a><a href="#" onmouseout="MM_swapImgRestore()" onmouseover="MM_swapImage('askaquestion','','images/askusaquestion/askaquestion2.gif',1)"><img id="askaquestion" src="http://auto-republic.com/images/askusaquestion/askaquestion1.gif"></a>

Insert Fluid grid layout div tag pastes CSS

I am trying to create a new fluid grid layout. I am able to insert 2 new layout divs, but after that, the "Insert Fluid grid layout div tag" fails. I am in "split" display, and the code view shows CSS instead of the HTML, and the design view shows a page of CSS code.
Control-Z always backs me up to the proper display of code and design, but the CSS file does not contain the definitions for the newly-inserted DIV.
Before insert:
After insert:

Yes. I created a new site, named as you see, for the files created as I learn the new features in CS6.
The problem I am seeing is 100% reproducable. The 1st 2 layout divs are inserted correctly, then all after that fail. After the 2nd screen shot above, a single ^Z will restore the code & display panes. I have learned that I can quickly switch into editing the CSS file, paste in the definitions for the new div (a pain, but do-able), then I can do all of the other editing, resizing, etc.
One thing I have not tried, but will, is to remove my custom key-mapping and try this in a standard workspace.

Fluid Grid Layout - Please help

Hello, I would sure appreciate help asap!
I have made a draft of a website and although I used the Fluid Grid layout I seem to be having issues. Layout is has header/nav, main, rightsidebar and footer. I do realize that I put a table into the header/nav and rightsidebar and will go back and update these soon, but that's not the issue I have right now.
1. Why is it when I view the pages at a 100% zoom in IE, it looks so much smaller than 100% zoom in Chrome. My concern is the MAIN Div on all the pages.
2. Why in Chrome is the rightsidebar going all the way to the right and not staying contained within the gridcontainer?
3. I thought ems were the way to go with fonts, but I can't get a "balance" between IE and Chrome design wise.....also with images?

So frustrated, thanks for any help you can offer!

If you're going to use ems, you must establish a base font-size, 100% = 16px which is the average default font-size in most browsers. Your content CSS might look something like this:
/**layout**/
body {
font-size: 100%;
.gridContainer {
font-size: 16px;
/**typography**/
h1 {font-size: 3em}
h2 {font-size: 2.25em}
h3 {font-size: 1.75em}
p {font-size: 1em}
Also look at Viewport Sized Fonts

Fluid Grid Layout Alignment Issue

I'm using Dreamweaver CC Fluid Grid Layout. This is my first time using Dreamweaver, (and first time posting to Adobe Community) so I don't have a ton of experience. Somehow, the whole body of all my pages has been aligned left and I can't find anywhere in the CSS or the HTML of the individual pages that would make it do so. I even tried inserting a body: align: center in the CSS and also in the HTML of each page and it just won't respond. Does anyone have any ideas? I'd really REALLY appeciate some help with this because I'm totally at a loss. Below is my CSS and the HTML for my index.html .
CSS

Fluid grid layout issues

trying my hand at thsi fluid grid layout thing and am having a few issues. part of the problem is i may just be trying to do too much, making an ecommerce site and the page has quite a few div's in it, a header, description, picture, cart, and price div per each item. the layout looks fine in the mobile view but i can't get the divs to match up in the tablet and desktop view.
i know there are other programs like bootstrap out there, but just not sure if they are going to run into the same issue. the simple fix would be just to create each of these items in photopshop and then each item would just be one div, instead of 5. but then the issue becomes i create the size of each item for the mobile view, but by the time it gets to the desktop view the quality of the image is going to be crummy.
the final option would be just to get another url and build that page for mobile, and have a link there on the page to view full site and just direct it to my url that has the desktop site up and running, and do vice versa on the desktop site.
HELLLLLPPPPPPPP! any advice or direction would be appreciated.
my url is http://www.coloredfortunecookies.com if you want to see my issues. you can play with the screen size in your browser and see all looks great in mobile view, but not the other.
thanks!

I just think you're tying to put too much stuff into this. The best Responsive Web Designs are very clean and uncomplicated. See example below:
http://alt-web.com/FluidGrid/Fluid-4.html
Basically no floats in mobile
2-floated columns in tablets
4-floated columns in desktops.
