Link to CSS problem (in Design View)

Hello Dreamweaver experts,
In the Design View Dreamweaver CS3 is not picking up the
styles specified in a linked stylesheet. Let me explain...
I am using an application in our office that relies upon HTML
(but does not use a standard web browser).
I need to refer to linked stylesheets using a variable like
so;
[example #1]
<link href="{FILES_DIR}/path/css/stylesheet.css"
rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
The use of the variable construction "{FILES_DIR}" eliminates
the need to hard code a drive letter into the link which is
preferrable. Without "{FILES_DIR}" I have to hard-code the drive
letter like so;
[example #2]
<link
href="file:///K|/additional-path-details/path/css/stylesheet.css"
rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" -->
Both examples above yield the same result in the application
(the stylesheet is found and its styles properly applied).
However, only with example #2 does Dreamweaver's "design
view" pick up and apply the stylesheet. Dreamweaver cannot find the
stylesheet or apply its styles using example #1.
My question is how can I make Dreamweaver understand and
apply what "{FILES_DIR}" means.
Any tips, tricks or pointers would be most welcome...

Did you look into "design-time" styles sheets? That may solve
your problem.
It won't take care of the path in the document though...

CS3 Templates - css disappears in design view

In DW CS3, I've noticed that after I've been working with
templates for a while, often with several templates open
simultaneously, the style rendering suddenly disappears in design
view, and I see only the unformatted text on the screen. If I close
DW and restart, the pages render correctly, but after 15 min. or
so, the style problem returns. Anyone else run into this?

Wait - is this about FLASH or CSS? (see your subject line).
Anyhow - the solution posted here 3 or 4 times a day would be
to make the
links to the Flash in the Template page be ROOT relative
links, i.e., change
this -
<script type="text/javascript">

Problems with design view after moving to new imac

Moved CS4 Dreamweaver from my Mac Mini intel duo to a new i5 Imac last night: suddenly design view is not showing various CSS styles, especially certain links.
For example, instead of this:
HOME | ABOUT | CONTACT | HELP
it will show this in design view:
|||
Meanwhile, in a browser live on the web, everything is fine.
I did a fresh install of dreamweaver CS4 last night from original install disks to new i5 Imac.
Help!

Culprit is the classic MS Windows font ARIEL. I installed it one at a time from two different sources (a 1999 TT build and a 2001 TT build) and both immediately caused problems, particularly in Dreamweaver with vanishing text in design view for any fonts setting sassigned the "ariel, helvetica sans serif family").
Since problem only is happening on the 2011 i5 Imac (but not on my old Mac Mini 1.6 or emac G4) I will guess the dilemma resides with fontbook or something peculiar to font management on the iMac.
Removing font of course solved all problems.

CSS Flyouts in Design View

Hi,
I'm currently developing an intranet site with a CSS flyout
navigation bar on the left side of the page that comes in via an
SSI in a Dreamweaver template. The flyouts render fine in Firefox
or IE 6, but they don't render in Dreamweaver's Design View.
Instead, the flyouts show up as stati gaps between the toplevel
menu items, and hover events have no effect. I don't know if this
is possible, but it would be great to be able to turn hover events
on in Design view (at least for CSS) so that I can assess the
actual look and feel as I'm editing a site without having to check
it in a browser every few minutes.
Does anyone know if it is possible?
Thanks in advance,
Greg

The first thing is to remove this code from your file:
<style type="text/css">

</style>
The above code isn't doing anything special when you have already defined the style sheet using this:
<link href="styles/styles.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
Once you have done it, post back again and tell us what other problems do you actually see.
The page online and your code given here aren't the same. So check this and rectify it.

Odd CSS issue in Design View

In either Design View or Split View (in the Design view
section), I cannot mouse select or highlight text in the main
content portion of the page. The cursor remains as the default
arrow and does not switch to the text cursor. As far as I can tell,
this is a CSS based issue (since if the CSS file is not used, the
text can be selected). This occurs in CS2 and CS3. The CSS and
XHTML validate, so I'm really confused.
The troubled area is the central content starting with the H2
heading "About Us." I know Dreamweaver can be a
little on on displaying CSS properly, but this just seemed to be
too much. Any one else seen anything this flakey? Or, does any one
else see an error in the CSS that I am missing?
The big issue with this is that the code
appears fine and displays in browsers ok, but client's will
use the Design view in Dreamweaver to update content. If they
cannot select the text then it is possible they will think the
HTML/CSS is broken. Even though designs can be done in multiple
ways, I like this solution to a 3 column fixed-width design with
header and a footer that moves down depending on body
content.

Cannot view css styles in design view

Is there a way to get Dreamweaver to display style in design
view when the css files are in virtual folders?
Have tried using ASP (Vbscript) snippet to write in the
server URL and using Liveview, but still doesn't display. It
appears that DW only recognizes hard coded relative links or hard
coded full URLs.
Browser displays these documents with no errors.
Please Help! I have users who will be confused attempting to
edit the documents without visible style, and need to use the
virtual folders.
Thanks.
Sean

Try using Design Time Stylesheets.
Open the Design-Time Style Sheets dialog box by doing one of
the following:
1. Right-click in the CSS Styles panel, and in the context
menu select
Design-time, or
2. Select Text > CSS Styles > Design-time.

Problem with Design View in DW5

I've recently inherited responsibility for my group's website (despite the fact that I'm kind of a noob at all this) and am dealing with an interesting challenge that I hope someone can help me with.
It seems that our pages are based on a number of templates that for some reason were not saved along with the rest of the site. Short term this is not a huge issue, as the pages have the source code from the templates embedded in them, but this code is not editable and I can't figure out a way to override the fact that I'm "locked out" from making any changes (at least from within Dreamweaver). Up to now I've just been editing the pages individually in Komodo, which is tedious but not horrible, given that our site isn't that big, but it's clearly no way to do business in the long term.
So I'm trying to re-engineer some templates that I can work with. What I did was use Komodo to strip away all of the template-related language from one of the site pages, and re-imported the code back into Dreamweaver, in the hope that I can then save that as a new template. I'm close, but not quite there. My problem is that DW's Design View isn't rendering the page properly, even though it displays fine in Live View and in browsers. Maybe this isn't a huge deal, but it's really bugging me because: 1) I do rely on Design View, since I'm not an experienced programmer; and 2) I'm kind of anal retentive.
To see what I'm talking about, here is the page I used as the foundation for creating a new template:
http://iodp.ldeo.columbia.edu/TOOLS_LABS/TRIPLE/aps.html
... and here is my new "template" (although I haven't saved it yet as a DW template):
http://iodp.ldeo.columbia.edu/TOOLS_LABS/TRIPLE/test3.html
The second page displays correctly in Live View, Safari and Firefox, but not in DW's Design View, where it looks like this, at least on my computer:
As you can see, there's an odd "break" between the banner image and the menus on the left, and the body of the page, which should appear to the right of the menus on the left, is instead underneath them. I'm at a loss as to why the same code displays properly for the first page, but not the second.
I guess my questions are as follows:
1) Does anyone else get the same messed up display in DW's design view if they import the second page into DW?
2) And if so, can you pinpoint where the problem is?
I hope I've explained this clearly and would really be grateful for help. Thanks!

Validate your code and fix errors. #1 problem is the lack of a valid Document Type Declaration (DTD) on line 1 of HTML code.
Code Validation Tools
CSS - http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/
HTML - http://validator.w3.org/
To add a DTD in DW:
Go to Modify > Page Properties > Title/Encoding.
Select document type from drop list. I recommend HTML 4.0 Transitional.
Hit Apply & OK.
Repeat Steps 1 - 3 on remaining site pages.
I'm not a huge fan of DW Templates (.dwt). I don't know how big your site is but it might be simpler to disconnect from Templates, giving you freedom to edit anything you wish. Then use Server-Side Includes (SSIs) for common site wide elements such as menus, headers & footers.
The great thing about SSIs is that you only need to edit one file, save it and upload to server. Site pages are automatically updated by the server. With Templates, you have to upload every child page each time you change your template. Even on small sites, this is tedious.

Still having issues with CSS fonts in design view

I only see the following error messages when I enter design
view for a component *other* than my main mxml component:
unable to resolve '/ProjectName/assets/JapaneseBrush.ttf' for
transcoding
Unable to transcode /ProjectName/assets/JapaneseBrush.ttf.
The resource named is the project's root directory (?), and
it refers to line 4. (Same line as the src: url() row in the CSS
file.)
These errors don't show up until after I tab to the design
view, and the font isn't used in the design view (other than this
the CSS works fine). (Even though it works perfectly when actually
running the Flex app.)
I'm using an external CSS file that looks like this:
@font-face{
src: url("/assets/JapaneseBrush.ttf");
fontFamily: JapaneseBrush;
fontStyle: regular;
I've tried actually placing the ttf file in a few different
locations, ProjectName/assets/, ProjectName/src/assets,
ProjectName/src, ... no change. My main mxml is in ProjectName/src.
Anyone have an issue like this before?

I've aleady done so before - FB-9873.
It's not *exactly* the same problem - now the example project
I gave from last time doesn't work at all. I've added a new comment
to the bug report but it's currently "closed" so it has to be
copied or re-opened or something. No time to create a new example
from scratch this time, sorry.
The extremely annoying aspect to this problem is that I have
a large, complex project where the fonts work fine in design view
(now - it wasn't when I created this thread), and I have no idea
why. It seemed to just magically decide to work one day!
This is a re-occuring problem that seems to come and go
magically, and it probably needs some serious bug testing by more
than just a developer.

Layout Problems in Design View

Our wedsites use server side includes that control the way
the page is laid out. My design view is not laid out the way it
should be. If I go to the preview, it is perfect, but from the
design view in Dreamweaver things are out of order. My navigation
menu is hanging over my text, and I can't seem to get it to
properly lay out on the page. Does anyone know how to fix this? I
can email a copy of the page view if anyone wants to see it.
Thanks!

DW is perhaps confused by your doctype which seems to be
suggesting both
XHTML Strict and XHTML Transitional -
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict"
http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
I would say fix that, and the other validation errors from
http://validator.w3.org first,
and then we'll look at the page again.....

Problem with Design View display

Hi,
Working happily in Design view using RH 10, and from one moment to the next the Design View display changed. The font display has changed to a truncated style and the word wrap has disappeared.
I tried rebooting and then reinstalling and no luck in getting rid of the issue.
The output is fine and as expected, so I am presuming that it isn't the CSS. Which I haven't edited for eons anyway so it really shouldn't be that anyway.
This is happening on all my help projects - each with a different CSS - so it can't be the css unless RH did some sort of strange global change behind the scenes without my knowledge.
Any thoughts on how to get Design View to display normally would be much appreaciated,
Thanks,
Tannis

Hi there
One possible suspect you may be unaware of is pressing and holding the Ctrl key as you rotate the wheel of a mouse. There may be a keyboard shortcut that would do this too.
Cheers... Rick

CS3 loses css formatting in design view for non-templated pages

We recently upgraded to CS3. All of the pages on our site are
templated except the home page. The home page, when viewed in
design view in Dreamweaver, looks as if the css styles are missing.
Sometimes refreshing the view causes some of them to appear, but
not all. This didn't happen in the old version. And it's not
happening (so far) on our templated pages. Any ideas?

DW6x was not the sharpest knife in the drawer and would
tolerate lots of
things that DWCS3 will not.
I suggest you do the following -
* Change your doctype from this one (inserted by DMX6x, and
broken) -
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01
Transitional//EN">
to this one (valid and complete - the way DMX6x *should* have
done it) -
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01
Transitional//EN"
http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
Now your page will render in Standards mode, and not quirks
mode (a very bad
thing).
* Change this (in your stylesheet) -
vertical-align: top;
end FedFAQ
/* ********************** COLLAPSE/EXPAND MENUS
to this -
vertical-align: top;
/* end FedFAQ */
/* ********************** COLLAPSE/EXPAND MENUS
I am sure that by doing this you will see a remarkable change
in your
page....

Right sidebar is appearing in the middle of the page. Page is using

Design view is not WYSYWYG. It's very good, but not perfect.
Preview in
browser is the only accurate check of how a design will be
rendered.

Why doesn't my CSS render in design view or browser view?

Suddenly my CSS won't render in design or browser views. I have checked View>Style Rendering>Display styles and there's a checkmark beside it. Is there any other reason(s) why this would have suddenly stopped working?? Help please! Thanks! I am using DW CS5

#1 Ensure that the path to your external stylesheet is correctly pointing to the CSS file in your local site folder.
#2 Validate your code & fix reported errors.
