Grid lost in Design View

I cannot see the grid even though the Grid and Snap to Grid options are selected on the View tab.
Does this sound like my app got corrupted? I mention this because I have similar little glitches within my other CS3 apps.

I cannot select a table for my form. Access to tables is grayed out.
I am using livecycle designer, but I statred with a pdf from acrobat
pro 8.0 updated. I did this because I needed to start with logos
from the acrobat pdf. appreciate any help on this problem. Thanks.

How to access design view in DW CC?

I am new to DW and am working in fluid grid. tutorial references design view (maybe with a toggle switch) - cannot find how to access 'design view'. any help would be appreciated.

If you use CC 2014.1 (October release) or 2014.1.1 (February release) you can't get to Design View b/c it was removed from FGLayouts.

Is there any way to display the Design View in fluid grid pages?

After upgrading to the newest version of DW CC 2014, I noticed that the Design View is disabled in Fluid Grid pages. You can only use the Live View to edit those pages. The Design/Live button displays on non-fluid pages.
I'm wondering if there is a work-around to allow Design View editing on fluid pages. It is a major hassle to try to edit some things in the Live View. It would nice to have a choice.

Have you actually tried using is? Try this?
1) Create a new Responsive Layout. We’ll call it demo.php, fluid.css and the usual accompanying DW files.
2) Enter demo.php and progress is normal. Everything works. You can choose to view both Live and Display and edit accordingly.
3) Close down DW.
4) Open DW and open demo.php
5) There is NO LONGER a Display View option and Live View does not EDIT. (at least it doesn't for me)
6) I can ONLY edit work in CODE view.
Thus, on brand new files, all is fine. The moment DW is closed and the files becomes “old” it can no longer be seen or edited properly.
How am I supposed to provide support to clients? How can I access a Responsive site I built last week when Live View will not edit and Display will not display?
I feel this is a programming error, not a purposeful act.

Lost design view in all site pages - multiples sites

Hi,
I have read through the FAQ's about loss of design view in Dreamweaver but still haven't found a pre-answered post so was hoping for some help.
I opened Dreamweaver CS3 this morning and could view pages in design view no problem in more than one page and project. I then looked at a page in full code view, then back in design view and now I cannot view ANY project or site page in design view mode at all. I can view the code in split and in code views and I can preview the pages in a browser. But for none of my pages in different sites to be able to view I find odd.
My style rendering is set to screen media and the display styles option is ticked.
Thanks for any suggestions

Go to 'view' checkbox 'noscript content'. Refresh the page.

Fluid grid problem design view

Need Help, Dreamweaver CC, operating on Windows 7 64 bit
My design view panel is set to 480 x 800
From the CSS Designer Panel, I select my fluid_grid.css from the sources section
I select GLOBAL from the @Media section
For some odd reason, my mobile size is changed to 1129 x 603
If I go back and set the screen size for 480 x 800, the @Media GLOBAL is deselected........ HELP!
I have uninstalled and reinstalled.
Thanks in Advance,
Bryan

GLOBAL targets the section of your style rules that is not subjected to media queries.
only screen and ( min-width: 481px ) targets the style rules that are subjected to that media query.
and so forth
The reason that screen widths less than 481px are not subjected to media queries is because the design is mobile first. In other words, if there were no media queries in your CSS, then all screen sizes would have the same style rules applied as if they were less than 481px.

CSS Changes not showing in Design View

I'm just coming over from GoLive (and their layout grid) so
I'm not entirely familiar with DreamWeaver CS3 and CSS.
However, whenever I make changes in a CSS sheet (and save
them) they are not immediately rendered in the Design View. They
show up just fine if I "Preview in Browser" though. I can even
close the html page and reopen it and sometimes they will show up,
but not usually. Oh, and the "Refresh Design View" button is greyed
out and doesn't do anything.
Thanks,
Dan

Yes, that seems to be the case. I ran a validation check on
the html page (it was coded in XHTML 1.0 strict) and came up with 2
errors related to the CSS features I was trying to use.
Thanks!

Design view not showing true design

I'm using Dreamweaver CS3, and have an issue with design
view.
I was editing the content of a page in design view, applying
styles from my main.css, when the page I was working on suddenly
lost all its styles, including heading & paragraph styles, and
placement of most div tags.
My header and the div tags inside that are still visible, as
is the side navigation, although the background image for the side
navigation is not. It seems to be all my editable regions that have
decided not to show correctly.
I've checked other pages and templates based on the main.css,
and they all appear to have the same problem.
The good news:
1. The CSS Styles inspector on each page shows it is attached
to the main.css, but lists only three styles under that style
sheet, all of which are named 'td img'.
2. The main.css itself looks fine. All my styles are still
there.
3. When I preview my site in a browser, it looks as it
should, so presumably it IS still attached to the style sheet, it's
just not showing properly when I'm working on it.
Any clues as to what's going on?
As I'm sure everyone says, this is kind of urgent, so any
help anyone can offer will be very gratefully received!
Thanks in advance for any help you can offer!
EDIT: I've been playing around with previewing the site in a
browser again, and have encountered another issue, which may be
related. I can preview a preliminary page, but all my links take me
to a 'this page cannot be found' error message. I was pretty sure
it wasn't doing this when I first encountered the problem with
design view, but I could be mistaken. Has something happened to the
internal links on my site, perhaps?

In the View menu go to Style Rendering. Make sure Display
Styles is checked.

Design View - Can't believe it's gone!

I have been using Flash Builder since it was Flex Builder. Actually, since flex was introduced. Once of the best features of Flash Builder over other IDE's was the ability to use a GUI to layout elements on the page. I just downloaded the trial version on Flash Builder 4.7 to see all of the new features and start playing with it, and that's when I noticed that there was NO Source/Design tabs. At first, I thought there must be a check mark somewhere to turn them on. After I could not find any settings that enabled the Design Veiw, I did a search on Google, and found out that it has been removed.
REALLY! OK. I have read peoples comments saying that if you are a Real programmer, you don't need it. Well, if I am a real driver, I really don't need leather seats and Air Conditioning either. The Design View was what set Flash Builder apart from other IDE's! And you got rid of it!?
Well, this is one developer who will not be upgrading to 4.7, when I could just use a free IDE to get the same results. Adobe, if you really care about your END USERS - The people that actually use your products, don;t change things that made your products what they are! When something works, don't fix it!
I can not imaging Flash Builder ever seeing a Version 5 if the Design View is not brought back.
So, hey... Adobe management - it's your lively hood because it's us developers that use your products that pay for your new releases that keep you in business. You have to show me why I should spend the $250 to upgrade when there are many FREE products out there that will now do everything that 4.7 will do. I just don't get it.
Thanks for listening, and I hope this comment is not just lost, forgotten or locked and displaced.

I guess that when they set at the round table, and discussed what it would mean if they removed the Design View, they must have though... nevermind, I have no idea what they were thinking. All I know is, I love Adobe Products, I have purchased the CS suites since CS2, and I have been using Flex since it was introduced. Design View, however such a "small" part of the overall Flex concept, is a very important part. The concept was to have an environment that allowed you to write code (actionscript) and bundle that with a user interface (Flash) and build these applications quickly (RAD). Sure, Flash Builder will still allow you to develop the coding part quickly, but the Design View was the key that tied it all together, allowing you to create the backend (code) and the front end (user interface) quickly. I do not care that you are a fabulous coder that feels they are so good that they do not need a design view. I want it, and I am the one who is buying it.
So, I guess Adobe must have felt there where enough people that will still buy the 4.7 and beyond concept to keep it alive. I feel... it will not be me.
Adobe, I really like your products, But this is something that really needs to be re-thought. Who ever the person was that made the decision to get rid of this, you need to now make the decision to let them all go. Because they effectivaly killed Flex for many many people.
I hope you figure all of this out soon, because we will continue to use 4.6 for a little while. Then, we will start to change our development practices. Are you wanting to push people back to Flash Pro? Well, this may be the way we have to go and forget about Flex. I hope this will not be the case, but we will see.
Adobe can make the decision to not listen, and I can make the decision to not spend. Last I understood, they were in business to make products they can sell. So, I know I will still be here with my money, even if Flex falls to the side.

XSLT Mapper file does not open in design view

XSLT mapper file in the composites exported from weblogic EM as a jar and imported in JDeveloper 11.1.14 does not open in design view. There is no option of design view itself in the tab structure. It is viewable only in source view.
Please suggest, how do I view the desgn view of the xslt mapper?
Thanks,
Promiit

When you export composites from Weblogic EM in jar format, the resulting files are differently formatted from what was used for deployment.
So, basically, the XSLT file, you are trying to open in Jdeveloper has lost the "mapSources" and "mapTargets" sections, which are generally present in the header section of the jdeveloper-generated XSLT file. Try to manually hand-crack those sections and you should be good to go.
Hope it helps !

Hi MonsterMMORPG,
I made a mistake in my previous reply. What I suggested is that you created a new and simple WPF app, set the platform to
x64 rather than x86, and then build the app to check the result.
If a new WPF app also has this issue, then I doubt whether this issue is related to your VS.

Design view not working after importing project from Flex Builder

After importing a project from Flex Builder to Flash Builder I am no longer able to see anything in the design view. I am using the flex 4.5 sdk.
Any idea how I can get this design view working? I heard it could have something to do with the metadata directory but am slightly lost here?...
Adam

Could you please provide more information as to what exactly are you importing. Also does Design View not lauch at all or does it give errors. Would it be possible for you to share the logs.
Meanwhile you can try cleaning the workspace and importing again to see if that solves the issue.

"Type,paste or drag and drop content onto this blank...."
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the feedback.
Lost page interface. may help to avoid the execution of the filter code at Design Time.

Design View not displaying external files...HELP!

This is my second attempt asking for anybody's help. I'm using Dreamweaver 8.0.2 (OS X 10.4.11) and when I open "any" of my local files In "Design View" NO external files loads. Here's what I've done so far to no avail:
Delete "site cache"
Delete all pref files
Made sure "Display External Files" is check
Made sure "Style Rendering --> Display Files" is check (using screen media type)
Check that my firewall is disabled
Renamed local root DIR of site file
Searched the web, forums, etc...none of the answers worked
Reinstalled DW 8.....TWICE!
2 weeks ago I did updates to my website and everything was just fine. And now, nothing is working. All I can see is text and all of DIV blocks...but all external CSS and INC files fails to load. Been trying to fix this for 2 days now. Can anyone "please" give me some ideas to fix this problem.

Hi - without seeing the actual page code, I'll take a stab that possibly you've lost the link to your stylesheets...?
If you view the code, somewhere inside the "head" tags (generally right under the "Title", you should have a reference to any of your external stylesheets/images, etc.) Something like this:
<link href="name_of_stylesheet.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
If no images are showing up as well, my guess is that you've moved the page (or the images and stylesheet) into a different folder/or subfolder without updating the links. Any time you move a file, it should be done within dreamweaver (and it will always ask if you want to update links). If you move a file without using DW, it will definitely break all links, and no amount of re-installing, re-caching, etc. will fix it (sorry)...
If this is the case, the best way to rectify would be to move the file back to where you had it... if this isn't the reason for the broken links, you'll need to manually re-update all of the links because something else has broken the linkage... (sorry again...)
Hope that helps,
Jesse

Design view not always available?

I have a some sites in Dreamweaver CC 2014 but none of them are created in this version, they are created mostly in CS6. But when I open them in CC 2014, some of them seem to have the "design view" available, but som of them not. And I cannot understand why. Anyone having a clue? This is quite annoying since I want the design view....
Lena P

The new Live View on CC 2014.1 64 bit works faster than Design view did in CC 2014, however, pages take twice as long to open/load on my Win 7 machine.
Also, if the settings are wrong, it is WAY too easy to delete content.
Example: With Split view "Code and Live" (No Design option for PHP pages) it will let m scroll in either Code or Live. If I click content in Live view I can't edit there. If I then click into Code view the entire Body highlights. If I scroll back down to the content I wish to edit and click a blank section of the code (outside of any tags) the entire body is again highlighted and cursor it at the top of this content.
More than once, out of habit, I have scrolled down to a content section, typed a letter and a whole block of content has been replaced with my new letter.
I am convinced this has to do with the new settings and my combinations are not right, but I can't find a combination I like (Can edit either live page or code AND see Fluid Grid background)
Today, I do prefer the previous Code and Design view for my PHP pages

Why is the Design View appearing distorted?

I have been designing an event page template in HTML and CSS to be used by my co-worker who handles all of our events and doesn't know how to write in HTML.
When I enter the HTML into the Event Content (HTML) entry box, everything works fine. The page looks like it should when I preview it, but when I change to Design View the page becomes distorted and skewed. This makes it nearly impossible to make any changes that aren't made in HTML View because the cursor jumps all over the page when I attempt to enter information in Design View. If it were just me this would not be a problem because I could change the event info on the HTML side, but because my co-worker has never used HTML I would like to get the Design View to show the page properly.
Is there anyway to correct the appearance of the Design View, so it displays the page correctly? Thanks for your help!!!

Please check the screenshot: https://grabb.worldsecuresystems.com/Grid_Overlay.png
The overlay shows the column layout as defined using the Columns setting in the Site Properties. This is simply to help in laying out the site content using grid systems like 960. You can read more about grid systems at http://960.gs/
