Help:  Design view is black while live view is visible...

Hello all,
I can't seem to figure this one out - >
I've been working on a file (attached) for my small business, and when I switch to "live" view, the document can be seen, but when I go to design view, I get a black screen (so I can not edit it).  The data has definitely not been erased - its all there in the code and in the live view, but I'm not a good enough coder to make all the change I need via code only.  Can anyone help??  I really need to finish this and don't want to start over, and I'm afraid if I do I might do this again...Thanks so much for your help!
Truly,
Keith

Keith, run the files through their appropriate validations: http://www.w3.org/QA/Tools/
These tests will highlight code errors and explain what they are.
Usually, as you surmise, it will be a minor code glitch that renders the whole page fragile (or black...).

    The page contains PHP markup, but it's not any that should interfere with your seeing something in Design view.  What is interfering with that is some invalid HTML on the page.  For example -
    <font size="1">American Telecommunications Certification Body</font><br></td>
                    </td>
    (note the </td> followed by another </td>)
    If I remove that extra </td> then your Design view becomes visible.  There are at least two other problems on this page -
    There is no doctype - thus, the page will be rendered by all browsers in QUIRKS mode.  That's a bad thing.  You should use an HTML 4.01 Transitoinal doctype on this and other pages.
    There is an improperly nested <font> tag here -
    <b><font size="2" color="#FF0000">BuildAPlane Announces Teachers’ Day at AirVenture! >></b></font>
    I'd fix all of these if I were you.
    The page also contains PHP scripting that is connecting to an online database, and extracting information that is used to populate the <select> tag in the projects form.  You will not see that tag populated with options in Design view.  To see it, you would need to have Apache and PHP installed, and have a testing server defined for this site.  Even then, you would only see that tag populated in Live view or on Preview, not in Design view.

  • Design view grayed out

    Hi
    Design view is grayed out for build 13875 on a large project. When a component is dragged in, a white circle with a diagonal line appears (can't put it here indication). Design view is visible and works well on small projects, like button skins. Clicking the refresh button doesn't bring back design view. It's a drag working blind. Anyone else having this problem?
    Thanks for reading.

  • Font in Design View different from font in Live View and browser preview

    My external style sheet has the body set for a sans-serif font and there is nothing to contradict it in the HTML documents. But while I get sans-serif in the Design View (as you would expect), I get a serif font in Live View and Browser Preview, not to mention on the Web itself.
    How is this possible (and what should I do about it)?
    --Paul

    Murray and David: it worked! It is a rare and joyous experience to have a straightforward solution to the sorts of problems I come up with (including other realms). But I have to say that with HTML and CSS (and hence with Dreamweaver), solutions to difficulties have seemed within easier reach than in other parts of the computer world.
    By the way, I wanted to choose "correct answer" for both your posts, but after making the first click it was no longer available for the remaining post--so I typed "helpful" even though that one was correct too.
    Thanks again.

  • HELP...I can't reset default views...how do I set "designer view" to default that shipped with product.

    Help...how do I reset "Designer View" to what shipped with product.  I was using a tutorial and totally messed up the designer default view, and cannot restore it by going to workspace "Designer View" reset...it just resets it to the same corrupted view.  I seem to be stuck in live mode with no buttons to come out of live mode.

    While in the Designer space, have you tried choosing Windows > Workspace Layouts > Reset 'Designer' ? If that doesn't work, you may have accidentally overwritten the default Designer workspace with the one you see now. If that's the case, one (pretty drastic) alternative is to reinstall. Another less drastic approach, is to replace the Designer.xml in your user Configuration > Workspace folder with the one I've attached.
    Let me know if you need help finding your user Configuration folder.

  • Images broken in Design View, but work in Live View

    Dear Adobe,
    it appears that externally hosted images are not showing in the Design or Split screen view, but have no trouble showing in the Live view. I have had this error since fresh installing DW CC 2014 and had no issue with previous versions of DW. I have tried some of the options suggested around the web including reinstalling but the problem persists.
    Please someone tell me there is a solution to this problem as I could never image that something so simple could take me to the edge of my nerves. I am experiencing a drop in productivity since I am constantly switching between views and it's making the whole DW experience a drag as well since there is a sluggish lag when switching views.
    Sorry for the rant, hope you guys could help me out here
    Mitts64

    The display of externally hosted images has been problematic, and somewhat intermittent, in DW's Design View for a long time. A lot of us just work with local versions of the images (say for html emails) and switch out the local links out for absolute links to server hosted images as the last step using Find & Replace.
    I have pretty much stopped using Design View all together though and do most of my coding manually while Live View is turned on, so I'm not sure if this was supposed to be fixed in DWCC 2014 or not.

  • Dreamweaver CS5 design view background is black, how can I stop this?

    Hey everybody! I have a problem with Dreamweaver CS5's design view only showing a black background. I can create a brand new html document either as a standalone file or as part of a site and it will show a completely black background wheather it's saved or not. This also is a problem with pages that I have already created and with pages created with a Dreamweaver pre-installed template. I can't see anything unless it's not black. It is not affected by background colors either, in fact background colors don't show on anything I make; it's all black! The strange fact about this is that any given page will display just fine in Live View or in any web browser. Thanks in advance, I really need the help on this because I need to use the design view to position elements (which is a lot easier to do than guessing what would look best in code view).

    Have you sorted this problem?
    I have changes from Dreamweaver CS5 to CC and it appears all my existing files have a black background in design mode but when I switch to "live" view it looks like it should and does on the net.
    New files tend to look as they should. Although this change to CC is very recent. It seems like a configuration / preference issue that I can't find an answer for.
    I have a work around at the moment.
    Select view in menu -> visual aids -> CSS layout backgrounds
    This makes all the CSS areas different colours, but you can see black text and items.
    Selecting "LIVE" allows you to see what it is actually like.

  • Design View is black

    After adding my site to CS4, the Design View of all pages is
    black. Code View works. Live View works. It's only Design View
    that's giving me trouble. Without Design View, Dreamweaver is
    useless to people like me who aren't proficient in code. I've tried
    working through this with the customer support folks and the person
    who designed my webiste. No one can figure it out. Help!
    Note that I can go back to an old version of the page located
    elsewhere on my computer, open it, and it shows up fine.

    Are you using includes, or is it just bad syntax?
    There are TWO sets of <body> tags.
    Sort it out and it should display.

  • Centre not working in Dreamweaver Design View (CSS+HTML)- Preview OK- help!

    Hi there
    I am having a slight problem with DW which I have had before, and fixed, but I cant for the life of me remember how I fixed it.  So any help is much appreciated.
    I am producing a proof site for a client and cannot load it to be live just yet so sorry for any inconvience but I have taken some screen shots and will paste code/html.
    The site is currently sitting like this  in the design view of DW
    [IMG]http://i1200.photobucket.com/albums/bb323/SKH_Design/Picture1-1.jpg[/IMG]
    Which it usually doesnt.... its usually centred within the design view!!
    this is how it sits in the preview
    [IMG]http://i1200.photobucket.com/albums/bb323/SKH_Design/Picture2.png[/IMG]
    My main page container is margin left auto and so is the margin right.
    (please excuse my experiment with the drop shadow behind the main container)
    please excuse me if anything is messy, im pretty new to this!!
    Thanks, Sarah

    "<body leftmargin="float">"
    Can you say what that's doing? "float" is not a legal value for the leftmargin style, which requires an integer value.  But its use is deprecated in favor of CSS anyhow.
    Your pasted code is lacking a doctype or anything that would normally be above that stylesheet link.  Is that just an oversight or is it really not there?

  • In design view, how to change the white panel background so white text displays? (I keep having to go to Live view to see it)

    When I'm adding white text it doesn't show up as the background input panel is white, and I keep having to go into Live view to see the paragraph spacings etc. Is there a way round this, other than changing the text colour in CSS to, for instance, black, and then changing it back before I upload the page?

    Hi, and thanks, but it's my fault, I think I'm describing it wrong!
    I've attached two screenshots from that area of the screen, one with the white text on the white background (showing as invisible) and the other where I've highlighted the text so you can see where it is. The background .jpg isn't a solid colour, it's a pattern, and if I added an equivalent pattern to the text area div, it wouldn't line up properly on all sreen resolutions, so that's why I gave that div a transparent background. When I go into Live view, the page displays perfectly, but in Design view I can't see to make amendments to the paragraphs etc.

  • Live view vs design view

    there is one item on my index.html (home) page that floats off to the right when in live view, but when in design view and when viewing live online through IE7 and firefox its fine. the url is www.lowcostloanmodification.com. if anyone can look at it and help me figure it out. my  fear is it is showing up live on some other browser that way. When i did a compatability check it seems fine in all browsers.

    My apologies, I thought I was moving too fast. The item that is moving off to the right is the opt in box reprsented by this code. My friend helped me put this together and he created a shadow box using this code which even me as an amaetuer can tell is not correct. i asssume that is why its moving off to the right outside of the div id = wrap

  • Design view background appears black in CC

    I have a site in which the pages are built from templates. When I look at any page in Live view, it appears correctly with a white background. However, in Design view the background is black. The text is appearing in the correct colour (blue), and images are ok. The site also appears correctly online.
    I have tried clearing my cache, to no avail. In fact, the black background also manifests itself on my laptop.
    I don't remember this happening in CS6.
    Any ideas?

    This is the way the page appears in split/design view. The black is supposed to be transparent and appears white in the live site, and the bluish area is the currently selected div, which returns to black when deselected. The white areas which show are images with white backgrounds.

  • Background in live view different from design view

    Why when I am looking at my page in design view it shows up black like I want it to, but when I go to live view or view it on the internet it shows up like the template color that it was when started?

    Without the code, it's pretty tough to say what might be happening.
    One thing to look at would be the order of you css, including the links to external .css files in the <head> of the page.
    If you have two like selectors, for example, two versions of: body {background-color:some color here;}, the one that comes last in the stylesheet links, embedded css, or in the html itself (inline css) will be the one that's used by the browser.
