Guides disappear mysteriously (not in preview mode)

I'm having an odd problem where I have a master page with guides. The guides show up in some pages with that master, but doesn't show up in others with that same master. And on the ones that it doesn't show up in, I can't drag a new guide onto those pages - it just disappears once I let go of it. On the ones it does show up in, I can drag new ones on. However, even on the pages where I can't see/add the blue guides, I can see the pink margins.
I'm in normal mode and guide visibility is on. I've restarted InDesign to no avail. I'm running CS5 v.7 on OSX 10.8.3. Any ideas?

I pasted a couple crash reports and a sample process from Activity Monitor when my system was 'not responding'. Today I had a crazy problem where I found elements missing and images placed way off in the pasteboard outside of their visible frames. I might have inadvertantly moved or deleted elements, but it's very random and on multiple frames. Trying to rebuild these pages and make the images visible again (by using fit content to frame) is what's causing the crashing today. Any insight appreciated...

I can not access preview mode in safari

Choosing file > Preview takes me somewhere else and I can not access preview mode at all. Every time I select preview it takes me to some strange site with att and my first name in it. Very Frustrating.
I am using the latest upgrade for Muse 2014, so I don't think the version is to blame. Has anyone else had a similar problem, and what did you do to resolve it, and did it work?

Hi
When you click on preview, what is the url in the browser? Also, Muse uses the default browser of the OS, so is it possible to change the default browser and test it again to see if it works.

JSP Preview Mode in JDeveloper 10g

Is there a way to see a JSP page in preview mode within JDeveloper? Eclipse provides a plugin but I don't see that in JDeveloper, I can see the JSP page in design mode but not in preview mode. Isn't there a way Jdeveloper can preview the jsp page using some inbuild web server or using Jboss etc.

You can just press run and you'll see the page in a browser window :-)

Data Disappears from Line Chart in Preview Mode

Help! Line chart data present in design mode, but disappears when in preview mode. I have a dashboard that I update monthly. Simple line charts. Now, the line chart data is visible while in the design view, but does not show up when in the preview view or even when converting it to a PDF or Powerpoint. SWF issue? Inputs are needed!
Thanks,
Stan

Hi Stan,
The answer to, why the data disappears in runtime mode, depends on how you retrieve the data in your dashboard.
It seems that you have some sample static data in your spreadsheet that shown in design mode. But chances are that this data is set to be overwritten in runtime mode, if you import your data using QAAWS, Live Office or similar.
I would suggest you to add a "spreadsheet table" component (found in the bottom of the Selectors category in the components browser) to your dashboard. Set the spreadsheet table to display some of the cells in the spreadsheet that you expect to get populated during runtime.
In this way you can verify if data is actually present in the relevant cells during runtime.
By the way - this is also a best practice method to test data-retrieval in Xcelsius.
I hope this helps.
Kind Regards,
Simon

Adobe Muse Footer not full width in preview mode?

Hi, I originally had my footer 100% width when previewing in browser and preview mode, and now for some reason it is not 100% width. Not sure what I have done for this to occur and it doesnt make it any easier when in design mode it is 100% width. Any help much appreciated.

Just answered my own question, bounding box was not quite out to full browser width. To ensure it goes out to the full width keep dragging across until the guides turn red. I must of bumped it when I went in the masters page to do something and it was out by just a bees dick! Unreal....2 hrs of my life I wont get back haha :-)
PS...Do I get 10 points for answering my own question? ;-)

Images are not loading - but work in Preview mode

Hi -
I was wondering if anyone can help me. I'm kind of new to Dreamweaver and I can't seem to figure this out on my own.
I'm using Dreamweaver 8. I developed a web page based on a template in which everything works perfectly in "Preview" mode on all browsers. But when I uploaded the files to my remote hosting, the template based images (found in the "images" folder) are not loading on the page. The images that I added to the template myself, found in the same "images" folder ($200,000 in ..., and picture at bottom) are loading. So some of the images in the images folder are loading some are not.
I've checked the Images folder on the remote site, and they all seem to be there. I've also checked for broken links, and I'm not getting any (I don't know if that would help w/ missing images or not, but I'm trying everything I can think of). I also checked to see if there is a separate CSS style sheet, and there wasn't one supplied with the template (there is some CSS info in the code on the html page). The image sizes are all small enough as well. Can anyone help me with this?
You can view one of the pages at: http://www.200kin5months.com/squeeze-video.html
Thank you in advance to anyone who might be able to help!
Stacey
PS - I've attached a screenshot from Dreamweaver Preview to show what it is supposed to look like.

Your Web server is running on an operating system that is case-sensitive. You appear to have uploaded an Images folder, but not an images folder.
You do not have a file here:
images/squeeze-video_425x344_r9_c6.jpg
But you do have a file here:
Images/squeeze-video_425x344_r9_c6.jpg
So you'll need to either change all your image/<whatever> links to point to Images/<whatever>, or upload another folder named images.
Or, if you want to use a single folder, and if your local file system is not case-sensitive, you might be able to do it in DW's file panel. Here is a method that you might use to have all of them in a folder named images.
BACK UP YOUR SITE FILES
Rename Images to Foo (allow DW to update links)
Rename Foo to images (allow DW to update links)
Upload the images folder and any/all files that DW changed
Delete the online Images folder

Viewing form in Preview Mode Failed. Error: Table not found [131-183]

Hi,
I have created a user form in screen painter in SBODemo. Created UDT, UDF & Registered UDO through my SDK code.
Everything works fine.
But when i run my addon on any other DB, and open my custom form it gives an error : Table Not Found.
I have checked the UDT's , UDF's & my UDO, all are in place and getting created in the DB.
I tried checking the Form again in screen painter everything is in line. But when i try preview in screen painter it gives an error
Viewing form in Preview Mode Failed. Error: Table not found [131-183].
I can't figure out the issue, i have checked my codes & forms many times.
Regards
John

hi john smith,
Check your screen painter, probably some fields are defined without the "@" character in front.
for fields, check the "U_".

My multi-state object disappear's when I export to PDF but works in Preview mode?

I created a multi-state object which is a series of logos that appear when a button is clicked. There are two buttons one is set to go the the previous state and one is set to go to the next state. When I view it in the preview mode it works fine but when I export it to PDF nothing happens when I click the buttons. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Multi-state objects are NOT supported in PDF. The PDF standard preceded the development of multi-state objects. It's now under the control of the ISO so may be slow to adapt.
They work when exporting to SWF or with the Adobe Digital Publishing Suite.

Value not visible in preview mode

Hello there,
On my dashboard, between other things, I have a simple grid component which should just show some resulted values.
The problem I have is that when I connect the grid with the range of cells, everything looks fine but in preview mode, one line in the midle of the grid is showing "0.0" on all cells of the line and I do not understand why.
The version I have is 5.3.4.0 with build no: 12.3.4.1038
Any idea what to do?
Thank you,

Hi,
When you are connecting your grid component it only taking static data, but while preview it is taking data from your data source. So I guess there is a possibility that your resulting data set contains a blank row (check your data from data source).
try to create one more data grid with the same data set, but fetch populate the data into different location. See if it is still giving you the same problem.
let us know if you already tried this before.
Good Luck.

First tab of Lable Based Menu is not visible in Preview Mode

HI Genious,
I have added one Lable Based Menu in my application. If i apply the dynamic visibility to it, in preview mode 1st tab is not visible all other tabs are visible.
Ex. In Lable Based Menu, I have three label :- Distribution Center, Zoo, Bird Park. I have applied dynamic visibility to this component. In preview mode, I am not able to visible the first label (i.e. Distribution Center) while all other labes are working properly.
While i remove the dynamic visibility, All the labes are visible. But my application is not like that so i could not adapt that solution.
Regards,
Rishit

Hi Rishit,
Please let me know if you have applied Fix pacK3 for Xcelsius.
I have seen this issue in FP2, which got fixed in FP3. The workaround you can try is including a blank cell.
Thanks,
Amit.

Widgets Do Not Function in Browser, Only in Preview Mode.

I created a lightbox and a tabbed section on separate pages, and the wodgets do not function when I test in browser or or open html conversions in a browser. They test fine in preview mode.
Bill
Actually, the problem seems to be Explorer. Works fine in Safari. Frequently have to insert fixes for special problems in IE. Are there any fixes for IE's peculiar problems?
Also works fine in Mozilla FF & Chrome. Mulitple problems in IE with display, and Widgets are completely non-functional.

I am referring to the attached files, which are a Muse site conversion to html. I have had problems in the past emailing web info, so if you want me to ftp the files somewhere, I can do that. These pages have not been published yet.
The two pages in question are in the file. If you open them in IE, the widgets do not function. In the index page, the text in the New & Events area to the right are Lightbox links. In the cottages page, you can see the slide show in the main middle are and the tabs on the right in the shadow box.
The side show works off and on. The lightbox (index) and tabs (cottages) do not function at all. There are no error messages. IE does not indicate working links (no finger).
As I believe you know, IE has problems displaying things that other browsers do not. Dreamweaver templates, for example, include a blockquote instruction for html5 that is needed for IE to display certain items properly. Since the pages will function normally in Safari, Mozilla FF and Google Chrome, I conclude there is a problem with IE.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
William Gunn

Chart not displaying data during preview mode

Hi
I hope you can help me with the following issue.
I have created a dashboard in Xcelsius however during preview mode the chart is not showing the data.
The cells which the chart is looking at are containing formulas to update based on the input of a filter component.
I have already checked the functions that are allowed by Xcelsius and my formula seems to be in line with the supported Excel function list.
I am assuming that either Flash can not convert the Excel formula during runtime or I am having some problems with Xcelsius.
The formula that I am using to to find the categories is the following (which is working in the creation mode).
=IF(COUNTIF($B$11:$B$1216,INDEX($B$11:$B$1216,MATCH($E$3&$F$3&$G$3,$B$11:$B$1216,0)+L11))>=L11+1,INDEX($F$11:$F$1216,MATCH($E$3&$F$3&$G$3,$B$11:$B$1216,0)+L11),"")
The logic behind it is that the formula will count how many times the lookup value is in the lookup range and will return them in the cells for the chart range.
Anyway I would really appreciate any feedback that might help me resolve this issue.
Thanks,
Lucas

Hi Suman,

Javascript works in Designer preview mode, but not when invoked via process

I have a fragment consisting of a subform and a text object. The subform has the following Javascript for its initialize event:
var cars = $data.input.cars.car.all;
var showMe = false;
for (var i = 0; i < cars.length; i++) {
if(cars.item(i).color && cars.item(i).color.value == 'RED')
showMe = true;
break;
if(!showMe) {
this.presence = 'hidden';
The code is supposed to loop through all my input XML data's cars, see if each car has a color element, and if so, see if the color is RED. If any of the cars have a color of RED, the fragment should be visible. Otherwise, it should be hidden.
The Javascript works fine when I preview the fragment in Designer using a sample XML input file with no color element (i.e. the text in the fragment is hidden).
The Javascript works fine in my main document (which has the fragment included in it) when in preview mode in Designer.
The Javascript does not work when I invoke my process in LiveCycle server. I pass in data that has 1 car without a color element, and for some reason my fragment is visible.
Is there something wrong with my Javascript? Is this the wrong way to check to see if an XML element is present? Is something else wrong?
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks,
Andy

I guess a more appropriate question might be: How can I tell if my XML input data does or does not contain an element? Let's say I have <input> <cars> <car> <make>VW</make> </car> </cars> </input> How can I use Javascript to safely determine if the car has a <color> element?
