Fluid Grid Layout JavaScript Bug?

I've been playing with Dreamweaver's Fluid Grid Layout, and it's going better than I expected - easier than I thought.
At the moment, I have one odd problem, though. If I insert an anchor - like #TopPage - then link to that anchor...[a href="#TopPage">Top of Page</a>]...it doesn't work.
Actually, it does work if I manually type in the link, like mysite.com/People#TopPage. But if I put the cursor over a link and click it, the URL in the browser window doesn't change. I get the same results in both Chrome and Safari.
The weird thing is that if I click a link to a different web page, then it does work - but only in Chrome. If I click a link in Safari, the URL changes in the browser window, but the new page doesn't load.
It looks like the culprit is this file - jquery-mobile/jquery-1.6.4.min.js. If I delete it, the links work fine.
(I'm linked to two other JS files -
respond.min.js and jquery-mobile/jquery.mobile-1.0.min.js, but they don't appear to be causing any problems.)
Does anyone have any idea what's going on here?

"Could be an old JS."
That's weird; on a whim, I created a new fluid grid layout and discovered it's linked to just one JavaScript file - respond.min.js
I'm not sure how I picked up the other JS links, unless it was when I was trying to figure out how to insert a JS widget. Anyway, I deleted the other two JS links, and it works fine now.
Thanks.

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) {
Here is most of my media query CSS:

Problems with fluid grid layout live site only showing phone view in Chrome and Firefox Feb 2015

Hi all,
I have done a complex fluid grid layout using DW 2014 CC. The site has now gone live on the web masters server setup.
Up until now the layout of the site has been working fine and responding to screen size.
Early this morning in the USA the site stopped working. The layout for some users, not all, is only showing the phone view, and takes a long time to load.
This is happening in Chrome and Firefox, but IE is displaying the site properly.
So it looks like the CSS media queries are not working on all browsers.
I am using BC for the test site, and one user having this problem can see that version of the site OK.
I noticed that Chrome has done some updates recently Chrome Releases
Has anyone else come across this problem with Chrome and Firefox with their responsive layouts?
Thanks for any help given.

Hi Ben,
Yes, thanks for this link. The Travel Health Website is one of ours, hosted on BC, and no reported problems so far. We also have another large BC website with ga code in it and users are not reporting problems with it. The Headless Way
However the problem website is hosted elsewhere on a different platform to BC. We have been developing it for three months now, and no problems so far until yesterday. The problem of the site taking ages to load, and timing out seems to be happening with about 10% of users in the USA. http://www.harrisonassessments.com/
The web developer found a user in NZ who was experiencing the slow display problem. They looked at the site with Chrome, Firefox and IE. The site would only display on IE. When the developer removed the google analytics code, the site displayed fine on all browsers for the NZ user. We are waiting for users in the USA to wake up and test the site.
So the problem definitely is related to the ga code and the responsive layout that was done by me in DW2014.1 fluid grid layout. So the related problem of DW2014.1 not being able to load htm files with ga code in them looks to be a good clue to what is going on here.
As there was a bug report for DW2014.1 and google analytics code made in the other thread, I would be interested to know if that was ever solved.
It is interesting that you are pushing Bootstrap and Foundation on me. (Big square websites here I come! lol)
I wonder if DW is going to persist with fluid grid layout then? I certainly hope so, as I have spent 12 months blood sweat and tears learning how to do it in DW.

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,

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>
// map highlight JavaScript Document
(function(F){var B,C,I,L,K,H,E,G,A,J;B=document.namespaces;has_canvas=!!document.createElement("canvas").getContext;if(!(has_canvas||B)){F.fn.maphilight=function(){return this};return }if(has_canvas){E=function(M){return Math.max(0,Math.min(parseInt(M,16),255))};G=function(M,N){return"rgba("+E(M.substr(0,2))+","+E(M.substr(2,2))+","+E(M.substr(4,2))+","+N+")"};C=function(M){var N=F('<canvas style="width:'+M.width+"px;height:"+M.height+'px;"></canvas>').get(0);N.getContext("2d").clearRect(0,0,N.width,N.height);return N};I=function(P,M,S,O,N){var R,Q=P.getContext("2d");Q.beginPath();if(M=="rect"){Q.rect(S[0],S[1],S[2]-S[0],S[3]-S[1])}else{if(M=="poly"){Q.moveTo(S[0],S[1]);for(R=2;R<S.length;R+=2){Q.lineTo(S[R],S[R+1])}}else{if(M=="circ"){Q.arc(S[0],S[1],S[2],0,Math.PI*2,false)}}}Q.closePath();if(O.fill){Q.fillStyle=G(O.fillColor,O.fillOpacity);Q.fill()}if(O.stroke){Q.strokeStyle=G(O.strokeColor,O.strokeOpacity);Q.lineWidth=O.strokeWidth;Q.stroke()}if(O.fade){F(P).css("opacity",0).animate({opacity:1},100)}};L=function(M){M.getContext("2d").clearRect(0,0,M.width,M.height)}}else{C=function(M){return F('<var style="zoom:1;overflow:hidden;display:block;width:'+M.width+"px;height:"+M.height+'px;"></var>').get(0)};I=function(N,Q,R,U,M){var S,T,O,P;S='<v:fill color="#'+U.fillColor+'" opacity="'+(U.fill?U.fillOpacity:0)+'" />';T=(U.stroke?'strokeweight="'+U.strokeWidth+'" stroked="t" strokecolor="#'+U.strokeColor+'"':'stroked="f"');O='<v:stroke opacity="'+U.strokeOpacity+'"/>';if(Q=="rect"){P=F('<v:rect name="'+M+'" filled="t" '+T+' style="zoom:1;margin:0;padding:0;display:block;position:absolute;left:'+R[0]+"px;top:"+R[1]+"px;width:"+(R[2]-R[0])+"px;height:"+(R[3]-R[1])+'px;"></v:rect>')}else{if(Q=="poly"){P=F('<v:shape name="'+M+'" filled="t" '+T+' coordorigin="0,0" coordsize="'+N.width+","+N.height+'" path="m '+R[0]+","+R[1]+" l "+R.join(",")+' x e" style="zoom:1;margin:0;padding:0;display:block;position:absolute;top:0px;left:0px;width:'+N.width+"px;height:"+N.height+'px;"></v:shape>')}else{if(Q=="circ"){P=F('<v:oval name="'+M+'" filled="t" '+T+' style="zoom:1;margin:0;padding:0;display:block;position:absolute;left:'+(R[0]-R[2])+"px;top:"+(R[1]-R[2])+"px;width:"+(R[2]*2)+"px;height:"+(R[2]*2)+'px;"></v:oval>')}}}P.get(0).innerHTML=S+O;F(N).append(P)};L=function(M){F(M).find("[name=highlighted]").remove()}}K=function(N){var M,O=N.getAttribute("coords").split(",");for(M=0;M<O.length;M++){O[M]=parseFloat(O[M])}return[N.getAttribute("shape").toLowerCase().substr(0,4),O]};J=function(O,N){var M=F(O);return F.extend({},N,F.metadata?M.metadata():false,M.data("maphilight"))};A=function(M){if(!M.complete){return false}if(typeof M.naturalWidth!="undefined"&&M.naturalWidth==0){return false}return true};H={position:"absolute",left:0,top:0,padding:0,border:0};var D=false;F.fn.maphilight=function(O){O=F.extend({},F.fn.maphilight.defaults,O);if(!has_canvas&&F.browser.msie&&!D){document.namespaces.add("v","urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml");var N=document.createStyleSheet();var M=["shape","rect","oval","circ","fill","stroke","imagedata","group","textbox"];F.each(M,function(){N.addRule("v\\:"+this,"behavior: url(#default#VML);

Lost fluid grid layout

I use dreamweaver cc
I opened and created a page, that worked fine in fluid grid layout.
I then quit out of dreamweaver, then came back to the same page later.
Now when i open that page in dreamweaver cc, i no longer see it with the fluid grid layout or with the fluid grid handles on any of the divs.
I also no longer have the little button in the toolbar next to live button either.... to toggle the fluid layout on and off.
I did see one solution which says to go to view/ visual aids/ display fluid grid layouts
but this does not seem to be available in dreamweaver cc... only dreamweaver cs6.
I have the latest version of dreamweaver cc, and have set up the page correctly.
Thanks in advance to anyone that takes the time to help.

Hi Nancy,
My operating system is Windows 7, run at our health corporation, (so I can't upgrade to Windows 8 or 8.1.)
Im running Adobe Dreamweaver Creative Cloud built 6733 - the latest version as of today.
The problem I have been experiencing match up with those of many other users over the last 2 years. There's quite a few posts reporting the same type of thing that I am. Basically it's to do with the Fluid layout controls and the icon on the toolbar that first appears once you've created a new webpage controlled by the fluid layout stylesheet. These are first there, but after restarting DW they are gone.
i.e.
I create an HTML5 webpage saved as 'default.asp' and a fluid grid stylesheet named fg-styles.css.
The Fluid Grid layout controls are all there. (I am doing nothing else, no injection of code nothing.)
Then I close Dreamweaver
On reopening of Dreamweaver and all files, when looking at the default.asp file in Design view, the fluid grid hide/show icon on the toolbar and the fluid grid controls when clicking inside the fluid div no longer show.
I get this every single time, even after rebooting my computer.
The controls also strangely disappear during a session when I am adding new blocks within the fluid grid panel.
I am so close now from discontinuing using this tool and looking elsewhere for fluid grid solutions.
It seems such a powerful tool, but what use is it if it is unstable. Really, DW should not roll out such tools until they have been proven to work reliably.
Also documentation should be provided that makes clear when this tool cannot be used reliably and workaround solutions.
I have now spent a solid 10 hours on this, and created countless versions of the same page.
Admittedly at one stage I discovered that when adding the classic ASP line above my HTML5 code that this would not work after Dreamweaver saved my document as an .asp file, but even .html files still experience all kinds of bugs with this tool.
I hope this kinda explained what problems I am facing.
Thanks again for your time.
I will now move on to other fluid grid solutions, but am happy to re-look at the DW tool if there is a sure-fire way that fixes my problems.

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

Green highlight when working with Fluid Grid Layout Div tags

What does the green highlight mean when working in Live view of a Fluid Grid Layout using Fluid Grid Layout Div Tags? Sometimes they show up, but sometimes they don't. I think it has something to do with the width setting but I can't figure out what the rule is or what the highlight indicates.
Dreamweaver CS6
Mac OSX 10.8.2
THANK YOU!!

Brian McNay wrote:
the green highlight sometimes disappears when modifying the width property of the div. My question is what does this signify?
If you change the width of a div manually in Code view or in the CSS styles panel, Dreamweaver ceases to treat it as a fluid grid layout div, and the green highlighting disappears.
To be treated as a fluid grid layout div, the width must be adjusted by dragging the handles in Design view. Dreamweaver snaps fluid grid layout divs to the grid that is defined when you first create the page, and it calculates the width and margins to many decimal places. If the width and/or margin doesn't match the grid dimensions, the highlighting disappears, and the div is treated as any other div.
It's not a bug, nor are fluid grid layout divs any different from normal ones. The idea of the grid and the highlighting is to allow you to create a responsive layout according to a hypothetical grid. Once you've created the basic structure, it's best to turn off the visual guides anyway.
Personally, I think that the implementation of fluid grid layouts in Dreamweaver CS6 leaves a lot to be desired. The basic idea is good, but it's difficult to use if you don't have a solid understanding of CSS.

Fluid Grid Layout - Beginner's Questions

First, let me explain once again that I can't reply to my own threads because the "Reply" function isn't working in my browsers for some reason. (Thanks for your tips on my other questions, Ben Pleysier and Nancy O.)
Anyway, I want to modify my websites so they work in mobile devices, and I now have my first Fluid Grid Layout up and running. However, there are some bugs I need to work out.
I experimented with two or three fluid grids and just realized that they're very different for some reason. I think I inserted the wrong elements or inserted them in the wrong location.
Does the HTML code below look OK? I understand that everything is supposed to be inside div.gridContainer, which begs the question why are the last two divs (div.fluid and div#div1) OUTSIDE div.gridContainer? Are these extraneous divs that I can delete?
Am I supposed to have a div#page and div data-role="header"?
It looks like all my actual content - including the footer? - should go inside div data-role="content", right? And am I going to have to apply class="fluid Paragraph" to every paragraph in my database tables?
Some of the confusion may be because some of these unfamiliar elements (e.g. "data-role") may be HTML5, which I'm also just learning about.
If anyone could post a link to a web page(s) using Dreamweaver's Fluid Grid Layout, so I can examine the source code, it would be really helpful. Thanks!

<div class="gridContainer clearfix">
<div data-role="page" id="page">
    <div data-role="header">
    <?php require_once($BaseINC."/$MyPHP/inc/D/Shared/Body/Header.php"); ?>
    </div>
    <div data-role="content">CONTENT </div>
    <br class="clearfloat">
    <header class="fluid Header">This is the content for Layout Header Tag "Header"</header>
    <p class="fluid Paragraph">This is the content for Layout P Tag "Paragraph"</p>
    <footer class="fluid Footer"><?php require_once($BaseINC."/$MyPHP/inc/D/Shared/Footer.php"); ?></footer>
</div>
</div>

<div class="fluid DivBase">This is the content for Layout Div Tag "DivBase"</div>
<div id="div1" class="fluid">Use Insert Panel for additional Fluid Grid Layout Elements. Note: All Fluid Layout tags must be contained within the "gridContainer" div tag.</div>

#1 Success with FGLayouts comes from experience. I built 9 test layouts before I got an acceptable one. A few tips. Build Mobile first because that is what everything else is based on. Then build Tablet & finally Desktop. Do not tamper with code in FluidGrid.css or Boilerplate.css files. Use a separate, external style sheet for your content styles.
#2 Depends on whether or not you want the divs to fall outside your #gridContainer. For example, let's say you want a 100% width header & footer that stretches the entire width of your page in all devices. In that scenario, you would have to move <header> and <footer> tags above and below gridContainer div. Otherwise, everything else needs to be inside the gridContainer in order to respond to the media queries.
#3 APDivs will not work right in FluidGrid Layouts -- or any RWD for that matter -- so don't even go there.

Setting overall styles in DW CC fluid grid layout

I have just watched this tutorial on Adobe TV about fluid grid layout in DW CC: http://tv.adobe.com/watch/learn-dreamweaver-cc/create-fluid-responsive-web-pages-in-dreamw eaver/community#community
This is a great start, but I need to know more!
Where do I set the body text, background, background tile and drop shadows, plus the H1 to H4 and a link attributes? Is it in the <div class="gridContainer clearfix"> or do I do i somewhere else? I saw another video on fluid grid layouts that briefly mentioned using a separate css stylesheet for fonts as 'it was better' but no more detail was given.
Also where can I change the a link attributes in a div if I want different a link styles in that div to the rest of the website? I can't see an area in the properties panel where I can change a link behaviour.
Thanks so much.

Generally, when you are building a website, you want your styles in a separate style sheet (a CSS document). With respect to the tutorial, he details that he is creating a CSS document he calls "style.css" and saves it in the local root folder. I usually place my style sheets in a /css/ folder but, for the purpose of his demonstration, placing it in the root of the defined site in Dreamweaver is just fine.
Now, once he has saved his initial HTML file, Dreamweaver CSS tells him that his document needs two more documents that Dreamweaver will pull in from the Dreamweaver library. One is a JavaScript document, respond.min.js, that handles figuring out what to do on a cell phone, versus a tablet, versus a desktop and the other is "boilerplate.css" that handles fluid grids. If you look at the HTML document, you'll see links to these three files in the root of the defined site.
Now, you'll notice when he's creating the header (id="top") and doing the centering of the logo image, he tells you to select the corect stylesheet, namely "style,css."
Here's the essential problem with the way he's showing you how to do this. You're not actually working in the code. He's demonstrating all of these panels and entry areas for Adobe's Dreamweaver that actually hide the code from you. In fact, he encourages this by switching you from "Split" view to Design (only) view for centering the logo image.
I think this is disingenuous. Everyone here in this forum will tell you, "You need to learn HTML and CSS." And they're absolutely correct. Dreamweaver's fluid grid layout gizmo may not ever define body text, background, background tile, drop shadows or your "h" tags at all. Or, they may be defined, but you are never taken to the code that shows you those definitions.
Open the CSS document that is the basis of the tutorial, which is style.css. In that document, you should see a "body" definition like this:
body {
          background-color: #FFFFFF;
color: #000;
          font-family: "Lucida Sans Unicode", "Lucida Grande", sans-serif;
          margin: 0px 0px 30px 0px;
In English, this means your background color is white and your text color is black. You're using Lucida Sans Unicode or Lucida Grande as your typeface, defaulting to sans-serif if those are not available. You have a 30-pixel bottom margin, no margins for either top or sides.
If you need to create a background color or tile, you would change the background-color attribute or, if you are tiling a background, you would place the following in the body definition in CSS:
background-image: url("images/tile.jpg");
This assumes you have a file in your /images/ folder in the root of your defined site called tile.jpg. Since you did not include a background-repeat command, your tile will repeat x and y.
And if you don't want a tiled background in your body and do want it in a different div, you simply look for the name of the div in your CSS and put it there.
As to your heading styles, you may find them all ready defined in your CSS document. You may redefine them or create new header styles.
This should get you started. The key is to open the CSS document, "style.css" and see what's there.

Can I control column color in fluid grid layout?

The columns in fluid grid layout are gray in CC; they used to be pink. I highly prefer pink, as I almost never design with that color, and I frequently design with gray.
Is there a way to set a preference for grid column color in CC?
Thanks.

NO NO NO NO NO!
Never make your navigation editable or you will shoot
yourself in the foot
when it comes time to change a link there and you would have
to touch every
page. <sheesh>
Give each of those links a unique ID, e.g.,
<a href="page1.html" id="link1">Page 1</a> |
<a href="page2.html"
id="link2">Page 2</a>....
Then in the head of each child page, add this to the Editable
Region called
"head" -
<style type="text/css">
a#link2 { color:whatever; otherstuff:whatever; }
</style>
Now you would just edit the embedded stylesheet to change
a#link2 to a#link3
or whichever button you wanted to affect on that page.
Alternatively, you can go here -
http://www.divahtml.com and get
their
DivaGPS extension.
DO NOT MAKE YOUR NAVIGATION EDITABLE.

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.

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 :

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.
