HTML 5 layouts in Dreamweaver CS6

Dreamweaver CS 6 has only two HTML5 CSS layouts, but lots of others from previous versions. Why is that? And are the HTML5 layouts easily adapted to do whatever the other layouts do?

Because HTML5 is new and still evolving as a web standard, some people are not comfortable using it yet.

How to add an extra page to the index.html page on dreamweaver CS6?

Index.html = your domain's home page. There is only one home page per site.
To create a new page from your index, go to File > SaveAs > filename.html. Repeat for other site pages. Add links on your index page that lead to other site pages.

Creating Adaptive Designs Using Fluid Grid Layouts in Dreamweaver CS6 | Digital Design CS6 | Adobe TV

Adobe Evangelist Greg Rewis shows how to create adaptive designs using Fluid Grid Layouts in Dreamweaver CS6.

maybe someone here can answer this. Can I take an existing website and apply the fluid grid layout feature to it? I have one regular website that is not responsive. I've tried copying and pasting into the dreamweaver grid layout, but it doesn't respond as expected. Is this even possible?

Problem uploading templates with liquid layouts and dreamweaver cs6

Hi
I have developed some templates in Dreamweaver CS6 and Liquid Layouts
However when I want to preview them in a browser, they come out blank (No Data at all)
I have tried this without Liquid and works fine, minor bugs that can be fixed like background image not visible
It seems the problem its at the BC system
Will appreciate help on this matter
Thanks

You should not be using Liquid in product sites, especially in templates since the whole liquid code breaks and does not render in several places.
DW has no features to support liquid rendering either yet.
It is something that is in Alpha.

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.

How to add an Animated Slideshow created in Photoshop CS6 to an HTML file in Dreamweaver CS6?

What steps do I need to follow to complete this task? I've already completed an animated slideshow in Photoshop CS6, and saved it for the Web, which produced an HTML file and a .GIF. All I need to know now is how to insert the slideshow into my Dreamweaver CS6 HTML file. Your input would be appreciated.
Thanks!

It's usually best if you use Photoshop for images only. The html code generated by graphics apps is not too swift for use on the web.
In DW, insert the animated gif into your HTML page with the Insert panel.

Publish HTML file in Dreamweaver CS6 (in eLearning Suite 6) to SCORM 2004 - How?

I have an HTML page I want to publish as a SCORM 2004 package from Dreamweaver CS6. I don't have any interactions - I just want to track if a learner opened / viewed the file. This ought to be EASY, but there is no clear "Click here to publish to SCORM" button.
Thanks,
Laura

As far as I know, DW has never had any kind of SCORM support by default.
I know there are SCORM extensions, but don't know if they work in DWCC without being converted to the new extension type.

Using Fluid Grid layouts | Learn Dreamweaver CS6 | Adobe TV

Designing for multiple screens can be a difficult and time-consuming task. The new Fluid Grid feature in Dreamweaver CS6 gives designers a visual way to control page layout for multiple screen sizes. It also automatically integrates cross-browser consistency through the use of HTML5 boilerplate and the respond.js library.
http://adobe.ly/IUFngo

Although the whole fluid grid layout feature suffers from a terrible implementation, this video explains what is needed to understand, and warns very well for all the strange culprits in this feature.
It takes time for most designers to get used to the idea of fluidity in a visual representation of information, and let structural building blocks flow according to alternating views and rules. Let's hope Adobe Edge Reflow helps us doing that in a better, faster way.

How can I find (or at least get specs of) Dreamweaver CS6 layouts in Dreamweaver CC?

Hello!
I'm a student taking a course in web design, and many of our assignments require that I use liquid layouts from Dreamweaver CS6. The problem is that I have Dreamweaver CC (which cut out many of the templates), and buying the older version for this class seems silly.
Does anyone know where I can find the standard set of CS6 layouts to download? If not, does anyone know where I could at least find specs on those layouts? I'm proficient at coding and web scripting, but I don't want to be docked class points because I set a width to 75% instead of 80% or used an inconsistant class name.
Thank you for your help!

If you have DWCC, you can also install DWCS6 for free as part of your CC Subscription...
http://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/download-previous-versions-creative-applications. html
FWIW, DWCC removes those old layouts because they were viewed as either redundant (since they were just variations of a base layout) and/or not current HTML standards compliant.
You can download DWCS6 and have access to all of them, open one, save it into your site and switch back to DWCC if you like.
As far as I know, they can't be added back into DWCC, but you get both programs as a CC subscriber, they just don't run at the same time.

Problems Creating a "Fluid Grid Layout" with Adobe Dreamweaver CS6

I am trying to create a fluid grid layout in Dreamweaver CS6 (which I know how to do), the problem is Dreamweaver started automatically saving the boilerplate.css & respond.min.js in the Dreamweaver program folder (C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Dreamweaver CS6\configuration\BuiltIn\Fluid Grid Layout\) it does not ask me to save the boilerplate.css or the respond.min.js docs as it normally does. Dreamweaver CS6 also creates a css document instead of the html page it should create. I called Adobe support, however they offer no support for "Fluid Grid Layouts", and I cannot seem to find a solution to this problem anywhere on the internet. If anyone knows how to fix this so it will work properly again it will be greatly appreciated!

Hi toger02,
If you have restored the preferences correctly and the issue is still unresolved I would recommend checking the workflow again.
Define a new site in Dreamweaver.
File < New Fluid Grid Layout < Create. Doctype set to HTML5 and no CSS file attached.
A dialog box will pop up, prompting you to save the CSS for this design. This is your custom style sheet. Give a "filename.css" < Click Save.
Once you've done that, the layout for the mobile device appears in the design view as an "untitled" new document with related files listed as "boilerplate.css","respond.min.js" and "filename.css" i.e your custom CSS file.
File < Save < "filename.html". < Save. On clicking Save it will show a popup with the message: Copy Dependent Files, which are boilerplate.css and respond.min.js.
I hope this helps else let us know if issue is on all the new sites and fluid grid pages that you create?
Thanks,
Bhawna

Background images in fluid grid layouts Dreamweaver CS6

How can I get a background image png or jpg original size 1040w by 840h to scale down in the tablet and mobile layouts in Dreamweaver CS6 fluid grid layout?

Adding one of these in your CSS should do the trick...
background-size:contain;
or
background-size:cover;
Depending on the layout of your background image, one may work better than the other.

Is there a way to Auto-Correct Spelling of text as I write text in Dreamweaver CS6 ?

While I write text on the html pages using Dreamweaver CS6 (Adobe Cloud downloaded version 2014), there is only an option to Spell Check the page.
But I am asking if there is a way to set preferences to auto-correct suggestions such as how Word Docs offer solutions to mis-spelled words?

Thank you for your replies.
I am using Adobe, Creative Cloud / Dreamweaver Software Program iMac Downloads, updated to current.
I believe there not to be the feature present in Dreamweaver on "Page View" to Spell Correct Automatically by giving word options, etc.
I know to spell check the entire page before posting the page(s) live.
I am not only writing in code view, designing HTML 5 pages, but I am the Author and Editor of all content as well.
I can see how the coders would hate having text auto correct.
But, on the editor side, as a writer, from the page view, ... it would rock as an option.

Can't select code in Dreamweaver cs6

Hi,
I can't select html code in Dreamweaver CS6. Instead a line appears with a small square at the top and bottom. What is this, and how do I turn it off? I've searched in the forums and the only suggestion that I found was to check whether I am using a template, but that isn't the case. This is occuring on existing and newly created files. I have the view set to Designer with split view.
Thanks

Not sure what you mean by a line with a small square at the top and bottom. This is normal when you select anything in code view:
When you click one of the boxes, it collapses the code like this:
To expand the code, click the box next to the line number.
If that's not the problem, please describe what's happening in more detail.
