HTML editor - design view doesn't accept specific chars on Polish keyboard

I'am trying to edit simple HTML page based on the JDeveloper wizard and I cannot input specific windows-1250 code page characters in the design view of the HTML editor altough I can do it in the source pane.
The code page is set properly
example document content
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1250"></meta>
<title>JDeveloper Journal, Issue 1, Welcome</title>

Code errors are responsible for 98% of rendering problems. Your pages lack a valid doc type declaration which puts them into quirks mode.
On line #1 in code view, change this:
     <html>
to this:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
At least that will give you a fighting chance of validating without errors. Use the online code validator below to check for other errors in all your site pages.
     http://validator.w3.org/
Incidentally, asking a non-coder to use Dreamweaver is form of punishment.   Basic coding skills are necessary to get the most out of this product.   Anything less is going to result in frustration and confusion.
It's worth noting that DW is NOT a WYSIWYG editor. Design View is at best, an approximation of what you can expect to see in some browsers. For best results, use Live View in Split View and edit the code.

Design View Doesn't Display Correctly

I am new to this forum so hope I do things correctly!
I have Vista and am using Dreamweaver 8 to produce 4 of my
websites, but I am having trouble on my www.victorian-cards.com
site. All the files where I have the problem validate without
errors and display correctly in both IE and FF. I have nine files
with this problem. One of the problem pages is
http://www.victorian-cards.com/funny-cards2.htm
When I look at these nine files in the Design View, all I can
see are the correct picture at the top, the top and bottom
navigation, Google Search, and the footer. Where the body is I see
horizontal lines and </td>. The </td> is highlighted in
yellow. I thought perhaps I had a coding error, but it validates
without any errors.
Help! I sure would appreciate some words of wisdom. I can
work in the code, but I like to check the design view before I
upload my files.
I have read that a lot of people are having this problem. I
did try changing the magnification, but this did not help.

the page has html syntax errors- having to do with tr and td
tags.
Look at the code view in dw- see the yellow highlights??
It's probably just one error, find that one out and most of
the others will
be gone. There's too much stuff on the page for me to
sight-read the code
and find the error.
suggestion? Make a copy of the page, then start deleting
content so the
problem syntax error is more obvious. Delete working complete
tables to
isolate the problem one

Design View doesn't work on fresh cs5 install

I just bought CS5 web premium and installed all of the programs. For some reason design view in Dreamweaver doesn't work for any of my sites. It's just a grey background. I can work in code view, but I can't do anything with the design view, it's just a grey dead pannel. I had installed the trial version last month and it worked perfectly which is why I bought the full version. I uninstalled the trial version of Dreamweaver CS5 and installed the new CS5 and now the design view is dead. I tried reinstalling CS5 again but Design View is still dead. Any ideas?
Thanks,
DC

Hi DC,
I read you post, and now I wondering If you could help me with my problem.
I also recently purchased CS5 web premium and are having problems with the Preview option.
If you are using a local server for testing purposes, could you please read my posts on this forum:
Have a problem with preview CS5
(it's posted just above your own post)
Many thanks in advance,

Display Html screen, design view and CSS screen at the same time ?

Hello everyone !
Well this is my problem :
I am on a Dual Screen monitor, in one screen i have the ''code inspector'' to view my html code and the second screen i have the Design view.
Problem is, i hate switching always my tabs when I need to work on my Html and my CSS.
I was wondering if anyone found a way to display, i don't know maybe 2 code inspector or simply find a way to split the screen so I can see html and css at the same time ?
Thanks a lot !
Nick

If you're using Dreamweaver CS4, this is very easy. View the HTML in the Code Inspector, and have Vertical Split view in the main Document window. In the Related Files toolbar, select the stylesheet.

Design view doesn't show in Dreamweaver

What do I need to do to activate Design View in Dreamweaver. I get Split and Code, but not Design. Have examined every possible drop down menu and preference and find no way to activate this. Do I need to reload?

See Screenshot:
If you still can't see Design View, you must be working with Fluid Grid Layouts.
Open your Fluid Grid CSS file and add an X as shown below. This will trick DW into thinking it's a normal layout so you can use Design View.
    Dreamweaver Fluid Grid Properties
    dw-num-cols-mobile:     X 4;
    dw-num-cols-tablet:        8;
    dw-num-cols-desktop:    12;
    dw-gutter-percentage:    25;

Dreamweaver design view doesn't show the bottom part of a long div

Hi!
I'm doing a very graphics oriented site, which basically requires me to use a large jpg as a background image and placing text areas against this background using absolute positioning.
My problem is that Dreamweaver doesn't show me the bottom part of my content div's background, but renders it as black instead. This obviously makes placing the text areas correctly difficult, since I can't see them against the background.
If I turn on Live view, then Dreamweaver shows the bottom part correctly. But in live view I can't use rulers and guides (or can I?).
Is there any setting that I can change so that Dreamweaver is showing me the whole div bg in all situations? One possible cause of this problem might be also that I'm using overflow:scroll on my content. Could that be why Dreamweaver hides the bottom part and can I change that behaviour?
Any ideas are welcome!

If we can see the page in question we could probably do this a lot easier. But all you need to do in your CSS for the background is:
background: url(pathto/image.jpg) fixed no-repeat;
If you are trying to absolutely position something in the middle you will be unable to do this without the assistance of javascript to determine the useable pixels on the end-users computer. Horiztonally is not the issue, but rather vertically because you can achieve horizontal centering by defining a width and setting the margin: 0 auto; in your CSS.
As far as working with overflows, if there is too much content in them that you believe the overflow will be necessary (assuming min/max-widths are set) you could consider including the content from another document or store it in a database and query the information out. Then it would make it easier for the client to update the content on their own in the future.

Can't paste HTML in design view on Mac

Hi,
This works fine on my PC and has for years but on Mac OS 10x I seem to be losing all the formatting when I copy an existing HTML page into DW. I have set the preferences to retain max formatting but no dice. When I try to paste into an editable region of a template, nothing happens at all. I have CS4 on the Mac and MACromedia DW 8 on the PC which works fine. Is this a Mac or CS4/new glitch?
Thanks, Lili

Are you working with overlapping Layers (aka APDivs)?
Do you have overflow: hidden in your CSS code?
Can you post a link to the problem page?

JavaScript does not display in Design view

Hi,
I am just starting to learn JavaScript so excuse my, maybe stupid, questions.
Why the following code does not display Hello world! in Split view on the "design" side? When I upload the file onto the server and try to view it in the browser everything displays normally.
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
<title>Homepage</title>
</head>
<body>
<script type="text/javascript">
document.write("Hello World!");
</script>
</body>
</html>

Hi,
This is normal, design view is simply a way of either creating your website using the wysiwyg method or if you code the website it is a way of getting an idea what the site will look like static. Design view doesn't run any scripts, which is why in the more recent versions of dreamweaver we have LiveView which does run the scripts and allow you to interact with drop down menus and the like, which you can't do in DesignView.

Is design view broken in DW CC 2014.1?

i open an html file to edit it
sometimes DW design view shows the styles in the doc
sometimes DW design view doesn't show the styles in the doc
...if DW happens to be showing the styles, that sometimes lasts for a while and stops.
i don't know if DW is stripping code -- insisting on some new "design principles" advocated by the lovely people who deprecated the center tag -- or if DW design view is just broken -- or what.
can you fill me in?

Usually what you describe is caused by html errors in your code. Run your page through the validator at http://validator.w3.org and clean up any errors found.
If you're working with clean code and the problem persists, post a link to your page here so we can take a look at what's going on.

Design View and overwritten methods in subclasses

Dear all
DESIGN VIEW DOESN'T WORK WITH OVERWRITTEN METHODS IN SUBCLASSES
I am developing a reasonably large applet-based menu using
JDeveloper. Because much of it varies only in small details, I
had planned to create a base class to hold all the common
elements, which would then call an emtpy method from jbinit().
Each menu applet would then extend this class and overwrite the
empty method to initialise components specific to their needs.
This worked fine when implemented in a few test menus and viewed
in a browser.
However, problems arise when I try to work with the individual
sub classes in JDeveloper's Design View - they don't appear!
This means I will probably have to revert to "cut and paste" to
create further menus unless anyone can point me in a better
direction, or show how to get around this. Any help much
appreciated.
Thanks.

Nick,
I know of a similar situation when trying to use your own
designed JavaBeans which has the same problem -
thus I am suggesting the same solution.
The problem is that JDeveloper IDE uses a ClassPath
(IDEClassPath).
Your code ( Project Output Path) is NOT in the IDEClassPath.
(for good reason).
So, my suggestion is as follows:
Exit JDeveloper
Edit <JDeveloper>\JDeveloper.ini
Locate: IDEClassPath
Add ;..\classes
to the end of the line.
Run JDeveloper, open your workspace, project.
Select menu: Project | Properties.
Switch to 'Paths' tab.
Change Output root directory to:
<JDeveloper>\classes
Press OK
Rebuild your project.
Validate you can go into design mode on the base class.
Validate you can go into design mode on derived classes.
Please post follow up message (success or failure) so we
can file a bug if necessary.
Thanks,
John.

Design View disappeared in FB 4.5 (not 4.7)

I know that Flash Builder 4.7 does not have a design view. However in Flash Builder 4.5 the option to switch to the Design View is grayed out and the button for design view has disappeared from my interface. I need this design view to follow a specific tutorial although I could probably get away with inspecting the code if I can get my hands on it. I would prefer to have the design view there. That's what I paid for with this version of Flash Builder.
Thanks in advance.

Design view is available up to Flash Builder 4.6, but you can not use a later version of the Flash SDK than 4.6 otherwise design view will not be enabled.

WYSIWYG HTML editor extension or replacement

Hi everybody,
We have a client that needs additional functionality in the WYSIWYG HTML editor in Oracle9iAS Release 2. Specifically the client needs to add pictures to an article/text in a simple browse and insert kinda way. It would be desirable to be able to choose from the users harddrive and pictures in a repository.
Is there any way to extend or replace the build-in the WYSIWYG HTML editor ??
Any contributions are welcome ..
Best regards
Christian Ballisager, Denmark

Hi
We have developed a WYSIWYG HTML editor to extend the functionality of Oracle Portal 3.0.9. The editor has the functions you ask for but today it only works in IE browser.

Design view vs. browser view

Why does the design view (horizontal) change to a square when i look at the site in the browser preview and/or test mode?
I am using the default setting and have tried it numerous ways -- w/ gray browser fill, with an image as browser fill, etc.
I have looked at it on 4 different monitors. Any suggestions would be welcome!!

This is in accordance with the page height. In Muse, the page height is content dictated, so, you can set a minimum height for the page. The page will be atleast that height, but if there is a lot of content in the page, the page height will keep increasing so as to fit the contents. That said, in the design view, it shows you the page height and a view of the browser area too, but in the preview in browser mode, you can see the whole browser area. Now, if the minimum height of the page is defined as 500 px, and the amount of content fits well in it, then the rest of the space below that page dimension will be the browser area (with sticky footer disabled), but the design view doesn't show that whole thing. It shows the page area zoomed in, so that it's easy and comfortable to work on the page area (since that's where most of the work is done).
Here's what I see on my end for a test site (with Sticky Footer disabled):
Design Mode: http://take.ms/1t19r
Preview In Browser: http://take.ms/0Sxw1
As you can see, it's pretty much the same behavior that can be seen on your end.

Broken images. Quick way to link them in design view?

I am working on someone elses website and collected all the
files from the host. However all the images are no longer viewable
in the html dreamweaver design view. I have all the images and am
wondering if there is a quick way to update everything so it
appears correct?
I hope i'm explaining this correctly!

Have you defined a local site in DW?

Problem with Scrollable image in design view.

So I have defined I want my layout to be scrollable, and that works when I preview it. But the problem is it is not scrollable in design view. Why is this? is there away to fix this?
Thank's in advance.

Design View doesn't process code like a brower does. It's primarily used for viewing layout.
Hence the name Design View.
You want to click on Live View while in Design View
