Fluid grid layouts gutter to 0%

With Dreamweaver CC Fluid Grid Layouts, is there a way to set gutters to 0% so that the divs will align left and right, no spacing? I am trying to create a masonry grid image gallery. Thanks, Susan

Thank you for replying Nancy. I have created several website in DW but never using Fluid Grids Layouts. I know HTML and CSS, so if there is a way to have this work successfully, I might be able to implement it, with a push in the right direction.
Kind regards,
Susan

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 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...

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.

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 .

The "align" attribute is obsolete. See centering Pages, Images and other elements with CSS

FluidGrids are for experienced web designers who already understand the core concepts of HTML, CSS and Advanced CSS Media Queries. Don't bite off more than you can chew for a 1st project. Start with a stable, fixed-width layout. When you become proficient with that, then you can take on more challenges.

How to edit fluid grid layout in Dreamweaver CS6

Hi all
I am a designer at the company I work for and we've been building repsonsive designs for the past 12months. I've decided that it would be good for me to try out the new fluid grid layout tool in Dreamweaver CS6 to see if we can improve the design process by using dreamweaver to allow us to quickly prototype my designs for mobile, tablet and desktop.
However I have 2 problems so far.
1) I've created my first fluid grid layout and saved all the files into a new folder. I set grid widths and gutter but now want to edit the values as I am not happy with the gutter. Can this be done? I can't seem to find the file that does this so can anyone point me in the right direction?
2) We have traditionally used pixels to define our grids. I normally produce a grid with a fixed pixel gutter, overall width and column size. It seems that Dreamweaver only has the option to use percentages. Can anyone tell me if this can be changed and again where I can do this?
Thanks for your help
Trevor

In Code View, open your FluidGrid.css file (or whatever you named it) when you created the layout.
FluidGrid Layouts are not perfect and the interface could use a lot of improvement. That said, I think they can be used as a starting point for simple layout projects providing you understand their limitations and are willing to manually tweak the FluidGrid.css code.
If you've been doing Responsive Layouts for 12 months, you're probably building desktop to mobile whereas FluidGrids build from mobile to desktop. It takes a little adjustment in thinking.
Keep FluidGrid.css for layout only. Use a seperate stylesheet for your content styles.

I downloaded Dreamweaver CC 2014.1, started using it but cannot find Show Fluid Grid Layout Guides button, Resize LI.link sizing handle and 'move up a Row' arrow. Where can I find them?

I downloaded Dreamweaver CC 2014.1, started using it but cannot find Show Fluid Grid Layout Guides button, Resize LI.link sizing handle and 'move up a Row' arrow. Where can I find them?

You have the latest version (CC 2014.1 or 2014.1.1) in which the interface condenses Design View with Live View buttons in normal layouts. See screenshot.
However, in FGLayouts, Live View is the only option which poses some editing problems and has been highly criticized.
Is there any way to display the Design View in fluid grid pages?

You can disable this restriction by adding an X to the FGLayout CSS.

Having said that, it might just be simpler to revert to an earlier version. Log-in to Creative Cloud Desktop app. Go to Filters & Versions > Previous Version. See screenshot.

Placing a background image in fluid grid layout

I am having trouble building a fluid grid layout I am not sure why but when I shrink the layout it doesn't seem to work correctly
I need to do 2 things.
1) make the background image shrink as it is suppossd to. when you scale down the images doesn't shirink to tablet size and isn't there for the phone size (although I think I want a new image for phone with just one side of the (page image). on it so I assume I just link that in there under that section in in the css
2)It doesn't seem to want to align the writing so that it is only over the page section of the background image on each side (the rightcontent and left content boxes-ie they should look like text on a page)
also I want to take the page here when it is finished and make it a template for further pages (just changing the text) is that done the same as usual for the fluid grids?
Thank you in advance for the help
Here is the link that the site has been temp posted on for detail editing.
http://approvalsite.info/

Kind of makes sense.
I am not sure how to make the div tag layouts relative to the background image.
please advise.
also, I have been playing with it and it seems to be working better now.
But the issue I have with it now is that the image on the right side of the page keeps showing at the bottom of the page instead of on the top of the page directly next to the wording on the left.
does anyone know why?
I am sure it is just a simple coding issue.

Unable to edit elements in Fluid Grid Layout - Dreamweaver CC

Hello. I have an issue whereby the elements inserted in to a Fluid Grid Layout designed webpage become 'locked' (??) I can no longer edit them and when they are clicked on I just get a blue border. No handles, eye, delete button etc..
I cannot find any pattern on why this is happening and seems to be random. Although I am happy to accept I am doing something wrong..
Any ideas?

Are you removing/modifying any of the comments in the related CSS file (custom styles file and not the ones provided by boilerplate/JQuery/etc)
DW uses some comments to identify the page as a FG page. If you happen to remove/modify any of that, DW will stop recognizing it as a FG page.
The comment block would look similar to:

Fluid Grid Layouts, Dealing with Z-Index

Hi
I'm currently designing a website that is using fluid grid layouts in order to make it responsive for the users of the website. I'm currently designing it with div's working from the top to the bottom. I currently have a header div, a menubar div, and a mainpicture div beneath that. I'm trying to make it so that the menu bar appears above the others two divs however. I have it so that there is a shadow around the menu bar div. It appears above the header div, but beneath the main picture div so it looks funny. I've tried making the z-index of the menubar div greater than that of the main picture div but that has lead to no positive results. Is there a way to make it so i can have a div appear above another one in fluid grid layouts?

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:

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.

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.

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
On MAC -
Open Font BOOK from Applications
Activate VERDANA FAmily of Fonts
