Fluid grid layout css error - (adobe support sucks!)

We just bought upgrades for our entire department to dreamweaver cs6 about 2 weeks ago. Today for the first time I've been trying to make use of the new fluid grid layout system. I got some of the page put together and when I then tried to insert a new fluid layout div I got an error message saying "Could not find Dreamweaver Fluid Grid style sheet". I wasn't sure what to make of it so I googled it. I found someone with a similar, not exact, error message and someone suggested they double check their css file to see if it was missing a closing }. I double checked my css files and they were fine. I tried reinstalling dreamweaver in case a file got corrupted. No go. After reopening the file, now my fluid grid pink overlays won't display.
It's as though the stylesheet where the fluid grid styles are defined isn't being recognized, however at the same time, some styles defined in that stylesheet ARE being applied to the page, but not all of them.
I called adobe support, sat on hold forever only to be told that because we purchased a downloaded version of the upgrade, we don't get the 90 days of support but have to pay $39. Are you kidding me adobe? No support without paying after we just paid literally thousands of dollars in upgrades to our cs6 packages?
Another thing that's odd is that if I start a new fluid page and save the files in a new folder, the insert new fluid grid div works fine. I know it sounds like some stylesheet got hosed, but as I said, I have double and triple checked the css file and don't see a problem. Anyone have an idea what might be wrong? thanks.

I found the problem and in fact it was a problem with the stylesheet. However, it wasn't due to any invalid styles. Apparently there are comments near the top of the stylesheet that tell dreamweaver that that's the stylesheet where the fluid grid content is stored.   It would have been helpful if they included additional comments like "DON'T REMOVE THESE COMMENTS OR YOUR'RE SCREWED AND WE WON'T HELP YOU FIGURE OUT WHY!!!". Specifically the section I removed which caused it to break was this...

Trouble styling across device views ( Mobile, Tablet, Desktop) in fluid grid layout.

Hi pros,
I’m having a problem in Dreamweaver CC laying out and styling my website using the fluid grid layout. For the record, I have not touched the boilerplate.css or JS file and have been using my own.css file to place all my .css in. I’ve managed to get some of the content in little by little but it looks nothing like my mock up. Since I’m new to Dreamweaver and coding in general, I’ve been starting my design in the desktop view. However, when I switch to tablet or mobile view and move something around, it completely moves it when I got back to the desktop view. Also, when I put in on live view or view it in a browser, I get two different looks all together. I try to make sure that my .css file is selected and under media I tried selecting the predefined media sizes and then under selector, there is usually 3 of each tag (one for each view I’m guessing), I select the tag associated with that view and change the properties from there. That hasn’t worked because when I go to live view or view in the browser, it looks completely off or it will screw with the other views. L
So here are my specific questions:
How do I style my elements specifically in each view WITHOUT messing up the desktop, or the other views? Simply clicking on a view using the icons on the bottom and styling has not worked.
Why is my live view so different from my browser view? I’m using the presets given in Dreamweaver for the desktop. When I view, say the logo and navigation in live view, everything is aligned but when I switch to my browser (chrome) it’s all crooked.
Should I be using % throughout all my properties (width, height, margin, padding, positioning)? Currently I have most of my div sized using % but some margins and other properties using px. Will that affect anything?
Can someone recommend a good tutorial? Everything that I seen either covers the basics that I already know,( adding/moving divs, switch views) but when it comes to the .css styling, they are adding a style sheet from somewhere without showing you how to do it from scratch.
Should I design the page in a non- fixed layout and then import the .css style sheet from there? If so, how do I do that without messing with the boilerplate.css file.
I’m taking a course in graphic and web design and we went over this very quickly and was given a lot of the material, however our final project (a full website with 5 pages) must be responsive and built in Dreamweaver. Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Making an external style sheet.
Go to File > New > Blank page > CSS.
Hit create button.
Add some style rules to your new style sheet and save it.
Link your HTML pages to your new style sheet using the directions below.

Dreamweaver CS6 - New Feature - Fluid Grid Layouts

Repositioning DIVs in a DW6 fluid grid layout

I've followed James Williamson's video tutorial on fluid grid layouts http://tv.adobe.com/watch/learn-dreamweaver-cs6/using-fluid-grid-layouts/ and have created something similar.
Williamson gives his DIVs fairly standard ID names. He starts with "header", ends with "footer" and places three DIVs in between: "article", "interview" and "artwork" (around 6:20 in the video).
The desktop layout is a standard three column layout with a header and footer while in the mobile layout all the divs stack up one on top of the other.
In Williamson's tablet layout, he adjusts the width of the DIVs so two site below the header ("article" and "interview") and he makes the third ("artwork") span the full width (he shows the three layouts in a browser from 15.00 to 15.20 in the video).
What I would like to do in the tablet layout is have the third column ("artwork") sits below "article" while the middle div, "interview" (which in my case is taller, due to having more content) sits to the right of them both.
Is this possible using DW6's fluid layout grid, or would I have to create the layout manually from scratch?

No. The way that Dreamweaver's Fluid Grid Layouts work is by floating all divs to the left. New rows are created by setting the clear property to left. As a result, you cannot have a div on the right that spans the height of multiple divs on the left.
The divs must be displayed in rows in the same order as they appear in the underlying HTML. To get two divs on the left alongside a taller one on the right, you would need to wrap the left-hand divs in an outer div. The outer div can be snapped to the grid, but not the inner ones.
As Nancy says, failing miserably with the Fluid Grid Layout feature is much easier than succeeding. It reminds me of Dreamweaver's earlier love affair with "layers" (absolutely positioned divs) -- well intentioned, but fatally flawed.

Dreamweaver CC has "internal error... while resizing a view" when asked to creat a fluid grid layout

Excited for expanded fluid grid layout features it had, I got Dreamweaver Creative Cloud SPECIFICALLY for that feature.
Sign up, download, install went smoothly. Open Dreamweaver CC, create new fluid grid layout, hit OK, name and desigante location of .css file and get the following error.
"An internal error occurred while resizing a view. (Cview::ResizeFrameBy)" OK
I click OK and nothing happens. App freezes. No css, no files. No nothing.
Have tried restarting, re-installing, different names and destinations for .css file. I'm running Mac 10.8.2
Literally, this is the first thing I've done w/ an ACC app and I am displeased and frustrated. Getting customer service either via forum or offshore phone call less than ideal.
(apologies for spelling error in subj. can't edit it)

Can you try the steps mentioned on the thread: http://forums.adobe.com/message/5420680
Verified Fix :
For all the Dreamweaver crashes on opening Fluid Grid pages , Closing Documents or opening files
Please make sure the default system fonts are all enabled - especially Verdana

Problems Creating a "Fluid Grid Layout" with Adobe Dreamweaver CS6

I am trying to create a fluid grid layout in Dreamweaver CS6 (which I know how to do), the problem is Dreamweaver started automatically saving the boilerplate.css & respond.min.js in the Dreamweaver program folder (C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Dreamweaver CS6\configuration\BuiltIn\Fluid Grid Layout\) it does not ask me to save the boilerplate.css or the respond.min.js docs as it normally does. Dreamweaver CS6 also creates a css document instead of the html page it should create. I called Adobe support, however they offer no support for "Fluid Grid Layouts", and I cannot seem to find a solution to this problem anywhere on the internet. If anyone knows how to fix this so it will work properly again it will be greatly appreciated!

Hi toger02,
If you have restored the preferences correctly and the issue is still unresolved I would recommend checking the workflow again.
Define a new site in Dreamweaver.
File < New Fluid Grid Layout < Create. Doctype set to HTML5 and no CSS file attached.
A dialog box will pop up, prompting you to save the CSS for this design. This is your custom style sheet. Give a "filename.css" < Click Save.
Once you've done that, the layout for the mobile device appears in the design view as an "untitled" new document with related files listed as "boilerplate.css","respond.min.js" and "filename.css" i.e your custom CSS file.
File < Save < "filename.html". < Save. On clicking Save it will show a popup with the message: Copy Dependent Files, which are boilerplate.css and respond.min.js.
I hope this helps else let us know if issue is on all the new sites and fluid grid pages that you create?
Thanks,
Bhawna

CSS Transitions Fluid Grid Layout Dreamweaver Cs6 'stops working'

I am unable to use the CSS Transisions panel at all in Fluid Grids Layout.
I open the panel but when I select the + to add a transition, the program crashes.
This is my second website, the same happened when building my first website, but I did without as I could not get a solution (about 18 months ago).
I need it on this website.
Some people in Adobe support have my files but can't seem to find a problem. I have Windows 8 on a powerful computer.
We've tested CSS Transitions on a brand new Fluid Grid Layouts page and it works.
But never for a page I have content in.
I began seeking help on this about a month ago and now I'm really being held up.
I'm disappointed and frustrated that Adobe isn't being more pro-active in finding the solution for their customer.
I can't email customer service to flag my problem, I am reliant on people who don't get back to me in a timely manner.
What can I do as this Adobe product has not been working for me and I am relying on it.
Thank you

Add a link to jQuery's Latest Library to your document <head> tags.
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.min.js"></script>
Add the jQuery function code to <script> tags in your document. I typically put them right above the closing </body> tag.
<script>
$(document).ready(function () {
    $("#one").click(function () {
        $("#one-a").toggle('slow');
    $("#two").click(function () {
        $("#two-a").toggle('slow');
    $("#three").click(function () {
        $("#three-a").toggle('slow');
</script>
</body>
As to why DW is closing you down, I don't know. That's not an expected behavior.
Without seeing your code, I'm going to guess that your CSS transition logic is incorrect or you're attempting to add transitions to the FluidGridLayout.css which is never a good idea. Always use a separate, external style sheet for your manually added content styles. Changes to either boilerplate.css or the temperamental FluidGridLayout.css files can result in problems.

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).

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,

I am using Dreamweaver cc 2014 and after applying css styles to my fluid grid layout I lose the resize, delete, duplicate and move up/ down ability.

I am using Dreamweaver cc 2014 and after applying css styles to my fluid grid layout I lose the resize,delete, duplicate an move up/ down ability.
For this reason I cannot build new pages by copying one page to create another.
I have a third style sheet that I use for the navigation styles and h1 -h6 ect. tags. and I am also using a css drop menu, can one of these be the problem?
The css menu I am using has the following script - I goes at the bottom of the html page. Before the closing body tag,
<script>
$(function () {
$("#nav").tinyNav();
</script>
I am also using the following for image control - I place it towards the top of the fluid
grid style sheet.
    box-sizing: border-box; /* Opera/IE 8+ */
    -moz-box-sizing: border-box; /* Firefox, other Gecko */
    -webkit-box-sizing: border-box; /* Safari/Chrome, other WebKit */
Can some one please help.

This implies there is something broken in your FluidGrid Layout CSS file.   It could be something simple like a missing semi-colon or curly bracket.   Run your code through the W3C validation tools below to check for errors. NOTE: ignore reported errors in boilerplate.css

How can I make a part of the body of my content full width of the screen with a fluid grid layout in CSS? (In dreamweaver program)

How can I make a part of the body of my content full width of the screen with a fluid grid layout in CSS? (In dreamweaver program)
and I know it is being over-ridden by
.gridContainer {
width: 88.5%;
max-width: 1232px;
padding-left: 0.75%;
padding-right: 0.75%;
margin: auto;
clear: none;
float: none;

Logically a structure something like below should work BUT whether or not it will upset the FG I don't know as I wouldn't ever use it.
<div class="gridContainer">
Top Code Section Goes Here
</div>

<div id="fullWidth">
Full width section goes here
</div>

<div class="gridContainer">
Bottom Code Section Goes Here
</div>

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.

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.

maybe someone here can answer this. Can I take an existing website and apply the fluid grid layout feature to it? I have one regular website that is not responsive. I've tried copying and pasting into the dreamweaver grid layout, but it doesn't respond as expected. Is this even possible?
