Live View Not Rendering Page Properly

Can someone explain why the LIVE VIEW in DW5.5 wouldnt render the page properly? I have a site that I developed, and when I view it in every browser... FF, IE, Opera, Safari, etc there are no errors and the page renders properly. However, when I view a page in the Live View, my footer section (which is done by a server side include) renders skewed far to the right. It must have something to do with that SSI, because I have other SSI's on the page and they are fine. It's just that one single one (the footer).
As I said, the site renders perfectly in all browsers, just not in Design View. I am evaluating DW5.5 for use using the trial period, so perhaps there is some feature that's turned off? The code for the site is a bit too much to put here, but right now I'm just looking for reasons that there would be such a drastic difference.
Thanks.

To paste code, go to the web forum (email doesn't work for this).
Click on 'Use advanced editor'
>> (insert icon) > Syntax highlighting > plain.
Paste your CSS & HTML code into the box.
Code looks like this........

Live View not rendering in CS5

I have tried to use Live View to test my php code and have literally only put a line of php code in the body of my html which is
<?php
echo "This date is generated by php code ";
echo date ('d F, Y');
?>
Live View is processing but does not render the output but when I preview in browser it works just fine. There is nothing to it ie. no pictures or css etc so I cannot understand why it does not output. Please can anybody offer some advice, I am using CS5? Thank you.

Hi Randy, thanks for your reply. My file and extension is index.php with only that one line of code in for me to test. I am using MAMP and my servers are on. I have noticed that when I select the Live View Button, my page begins to render in the bottom right corner of the screen and the Address Bar changes from
localhost/testSite/index.php
to
localhost/testSite/TMPNZA6CQ.php
but then nothing appears in the Design Window to show the result of my php code ie. The Date.
However, when I preview in browser - the page displays as it should. It looks like there is a bug with my Live View in DW CS5.
Has anyone else had this problem?
Your help is greatly appreciated.

Live View not rendering CSS

On a Mac OS Mavefrick, DW CC. Mostly working fine until recently. Now CSS changes shown in Design View not seen in Live View. Checked syntax, made changes in CSS Designer to no effect. Could not uninstall DW CC (alias corrupted?) but reinstalled DW CC. Re-install had no effect. Suggestions?
RJL

Thanks for your suggestion but this has been a sudden, recent change. Never had this problem before using DW CC.
Today, I tweaked the CSS and got to a point on one of my pages (calendar.htm) where everything in Design view and Live view looked just as I wanted it. Tested in Firefox and Chrome, still fine. Uploaded the file to the server, opened the page in Chrome, still fine. An hour or two later I went back to calendar.htm and whereas everything was fine in Design view the CSS styling on the h4 tags were not present in Live view. Checked the web again and the calendar.htm looked as I expected it to look (serrakck.org --> Calendar).
Still need help. I have a bunch of CC apps on my Macs and maybe there is some comflick with them. Don't have any other version of DW except DW CC.

My printer is not taking pages properly.

my printer is not taking pages properly and also the pages bend towards left side while taking initially.

Hello kgr1,
Welcome to the HP Forums.
I see that you are having some paper feed issues.
I do have a few suggestions that we can try in the attempt to resolve the issue.
First off, please make sure that you have the printer power cable connected directly to a wall outlet and not a power bar/strip. Here is a document that uses a LaserJet printer as an example but it is meant for HP products in general. Please click on the following link that explains the Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector.
Please check the Paper Clear out door that is located on the bottom of the unit for any bits of paper that may have been torn off in the past.
Let me know how you made out and if you have any other questions or concerns, please feel free to ask.
Thanks for your time.

Greetings;
This seems to an ongoing issue (see related discussion link). We've been experiencing the same update lag since last Friday. The new additions to the Collection appear and are accessible in both the iPad and iPhone applications, but even though they additions appear in "Quick View", the material doesn't appear in the Collection itself. Apple is aware of the issue and is investigating. All the best...

Design View not rendering content of pages

I am the webmaster and lead developer for a state university. We have developed a responsive Dreamweaver template for our mostly non-coding users (admin assistants usually are assigned web tasks for some reason). You can see our site here http://www.wwu.edu/webtech . When we bring up pages in Design View, they cannot be edited; none of the content is visible. Live view is pretty good, but it's difficult for non-coders to edit in this window. For instance, in Design view they can just select Enter after a block of text to start a new <p>; In Live View you can modify an existing paragraph as if you were in Design View, but you cannot add elements without using the Insert tool. My non code users have no idea what the Insert menu is talking about. So my questions are:
1. First - has anyone else hit situations where Design View did not work? Here is what it looks like for the site mentioned above:
2. Any idea why design view cannot handle this page? It's a standard responsive site with media queries... I've tried stripping out complexity but cannot get it to work. It is valid HTML and passes tests.
3. Am I using the wrong product? Can Muse handle Dreamweaver templates?

Nancy O, osgood_, Fritz, thank you for your thoughts.
Dreamweaver has been a wonderful tool for non-coders for many years. We developed templates for the groups, then all they had to do was put the content into the correct areas through the power of the Dreamweaver template. That is no longer possible it seems with the more complex, responsive templates. And yes, Osgood_ , it does appear that some pages will be rendered fine in Dreamweaver. Our older templates such as represented by this site: http://www.wwu.edu/bservices IS viewable and editable in Dreamweaver Design view. Those users are quite happy. However our newest responsive Dreamweaver templated sites such as http://www.wwu.edu/webtech and http://www.wuw.edu/registrar2 are not.
What I'd really love is for an adobe engineer to sit down and look at our templates and let me know if there is anything I could do to make these templates usable in Design View.
Our other alternative is to move away from static HTML and Dreamweaver and go entirely to WordPress and Drupal. I will miss Dreamweaver when this happens! I had hoped there was a place for those who did not want the complication of a Wordpress site...

Webi Page View Not Displaying Page Size Correctly.

Hi Everone,
I have an issue with one report where the page size sttings do not translate when viewed in HTML Page View.
Figure one is the report as seen in the editor - as you can see the page is displayed correctly - A4 Portrait:
And, when the report is viewed in PDF mode - again, no issues:
But when viewed in HTML page view - it blows out the width of the page:
Now this report, as far as I can tell, is set up no differently than 6 others that are designed to be printed as PDF, all of which do not display this behaviour.
We design them to be printed as PDF but present them to the user in HTML Page view in order to allow injected JavaScript’s in the report to be run. This does not happen when you jump directly into PDF mode.
I have checked in design view and I don't have any wayward report elements pushing out the width and the PDF renders correctly which would not happen if there were hidden elements causing issues, it would render a bunch of blank pages.
So, I am at a loss. The page view is correct in edit mode and in PDV view mode but not in HTML page view. Has anyone else had this issue? I can’t work out why this happens only in one report when all the others work properly.
HELP!!!
- Nick

Hi,
I think it may be <div class="html5gallery-viral-0"> (contains the social media buttons) // screencasteu.worldsecuresystems.com/AP/2013-08-01_1033.png
It's the only element that isn't in sync with the other elements on page, when compared to home.html for example.

Design View Not Displaying Pages with any Formatting

I asked this question in another thread and somebody locked it. The question is not answered. My Design view is not displaying my files with any formatting. I can view them in a browser, but not in Design view where I can see my work as I'm working. While I can upload files to the remote server (host provider) the links got screwed up so files on the remote server don't show any formatting either. Every link, thousands of links, are off by one word (folder) from where my site was residing on my hard drive. When I try to make a change to the links manually then I can no longer view them with any formatting in my own browser either.
On my local broswer on my PC the address line reads: http://localhost/folderNameIneedToDelete/filename.php
On the live website (for my homepage) the address line reads http://websiteName.com/folderNameIneedToDelete/index.html
(Here is the text from another thread that was improperly locked)
I just added a remote server to my site so I could begin uploading files to my host provider. When I saved the setup I saw a message popup about the cache changing. Now when I try to view a file in Dreamweaver in Design View it doesn't recognize any of the external style sheets. It displays with no formating.
I can still view the pages in a browser and they look appropriate, just not in Design View where I can continue working on the site as I've been doing.
How do I get Design View to display my pages properly again using the .css pages that apply to each page design?
Thanks,
Robert

Murray, thanks for all your assistance.
Before I edit thousands of links again I want to confirm I've interpreted all your info correctly. If I setup everything as follows all my pages should work in Design View, browsers accessed from the "Preview/Debug in browser" icon in Dreamweaver and most importantly in a live environment at a host provider:

webpages (html & php)
_images - [folder] (there are numerous image folders beginning with _images) containing .jpg and .png files
_includes - [folder] containing attached .php files for the header, navigation and footer attached to every page
_scripts - [folder] containing .js script files
_styles - [folder] containing .css files (external style sheets)
Connections - [folder] contains one php file (databasename.php)
SpryAssets - [folder] containing system generated .js files .css files and .gif files
ZendFramework - [folder] - I have no idea if the files in this folder are necesary and why it was placed here many months ago
** Links **
Remove the leading / from every link in every file
HTML5 shiv
using an external link will always reflect the latest changes(Question) - If I link to this .js file externally at google instead of linking to a current copy in my _script folder could future changes to this external .js file cause future problems with the webpages that have this file attached?
Remote Server
Setup a remote server using the ftp address settings provided by the host provider. (Question) Any settings defined for the future Remote Server (the first remote server was deleted when problems occured) will not cause any harm to anything involving the Testing Server such as viewing webpages in Design View, browsers accessed from the "Preview/Debug in browser" icon in Dreamweaver and will not cause any harm to any files eventually put to the host provider via that future Remote Server. Is that correct?
Murray, thanks again for your help,
Robert

Internal Server Error; Live View not working...please help:)

I am a beginner doing a tutorial through David Sawyer McFarlands' "CS5: The Missisng Manual. I have MAMP set up and working fine. I just got through doing a tutorial on editing a recordset and linking to a Detail page. I have used Live View just a few minutes ago and it was working fine. However I just tried to click live view again after completing this part of the tutorial and a pop up box says "dynamically-related files could not be resolved because of an internal server error". I have no idea what this error could be. When I type http://localhost/ in my browser it shows a file on the dynamic website we are working on called cosmo_shop. But when I type http://localhost/cosmo_shop the screen goes blank....Can someone help me with this???

Nobody else is likely to have any idea what the error is without seeing the code of the page you're working on. However, you might find Why is my PHP page blank? in the Dreamweaver FAQ points you in the right direction.

SWF Banner works in Live View not in Any Browser? Losing my mind...

Hello,
I'm not a pro but have some web building experience. I'm currently building a website for myself in Dreamweaver CS5. I made a simple flash banner where pictures fade in and out. I placed it into my template and it works fine in Live View but not in Chrome, Firefox or IE.
It has gotten to the point where I am losing my mind.
I create a new HTML doc. Drag and drop ANY swf file. Saved Swf files as flash 8 and flash 9 even. Updated my flash last night for my browsers. Again... See it fine in Live View and not in the browsers i've mentioned.
The browsers (except chrome which displays nothing) show this message.
Content on this page requires a newer version of Adobe Flash Player.
Even after flash updates and using a swf file saved as an older veriosn of flash (tried 9,8 and 5 for a laugh).
Here is the html code (all generated by Dreamweaver). I am totally baffled and have spent HOURS scrying the internet to no avail. I even tried this in a trial version of Dreamweaver CS6 but had the same reslut. Please help me. What's going on?

Testing Server / 'Live View' not working

Hey guys, I'm trying to create my first e-Commerce site in Business Catalyst and having a bit of an issue with setting up testing. I've downloaded multiple basic templates from 'BC' and they all seem to be giving me the same issue.
Issue:
When using Dreamweaver CC's 'Live View' (which seems to be a one stop shop for testing changes without them pusing to the live site) the encompassing template in a page is displayed correctly, but the content area always displays 'Page not Found'. Take a look at the attached image to see exactly what I mean.
I've contacted support and browsed the form, but it seems I am the only one with this issue. Again I've tried it with multiple templates on multiple computers. Am I missing something simple? What does everyone else use for testing? Please help.

Hi,
When you press the "Live" button in Dw, it asks you if you want to save the file before putting. If you select No, and there's also NO such file on the server, then you'll have the "Page not found" message displayed.
Hope this helps.
Kind Regards,
Alex

Live View not working

In DW CS4 Live View is not working for me. I keep getting the

Looking through the archives, it seems you are about the 6th
person to
have this problem.
The one and only message that says it was resolved, says that
they
called Adobe support and were provided an FTP link to a file
that fixed
it for them.
So, I guess I'm suggesting that you call Adobe Support on
this one.

Safari 2.0 not rendering HTML properly

I have been having trouble with safari rendering pages since upgrading to 10.4 (still happening on 10.4.2)
on most pages (not apple.com conveniently) the vertical spacing is not renederd properly, and there are huge gaps between items on the page.
here is a jpeg that will show the problem in safari compared to firefox
http://www.danyul.com/pics/safariRender.jpg
Any help appreciated.
thanks
daniel

I think i has something to do with an html table not having a fixed height determined by content.
It even happens when i create a page in dreamweaver and test it in safari.
here is a simple page created using this code:
http://www.danyul.com/pics/safariRender2.jpg
<html>
<body>
<table width="100%" border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr>
<td>First <td>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Second <td> </td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Third <td> </td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
I have a powerbook too that was upgraded to 10.4 at the same time, and there are no problems rendering the html in safari on there...just here on the G5
thanks
daniel

Css shows in live view, not in design view

Hi all-
I'm new to dreamweaver and was trying to move a site I have already coded into dreamweaver, hopefully to be able to find errors but mostly to be able to update more quickly in the future.
I've noticed one pecularity (at least to me!) - I have some basic "rounded corners" with css that show up properly in the "Live View" or in a browser, but in design view they are just standard boxes with no css attributes added.
Is this normal, or is it something in my code?

It's most likely completely normal. I know in my DWCS4, it doesn't recognize any CSS3 items in Design View.
As long as your pages are validating and previewing in the browsers correctly, you're good to go.
You can run the validators here to check for errors...

DreamWeaver CC 2014 live view not correct

I am using the new DreamWeaver CC 2014 on Windows 7. I have a html doc using a separate CSS style sheet, JQuery, JQuery UI, and Modernizr. The page is setup using flexbox and displays as expected in Chrome and IE. Everything validates outs without warnings or errors. I turned on live view and the displayed page is not even close to how chrome shows the page.
Is any one else having similar issues?

Hi All,
This issue has been fixed in the latest Dreamweaver CC 2014.1 update, which is now live.
We would encourage all of you to give it a try and would love to know your experience around it.
Please read this post (Dreamweaver October 2014 release is now live! Read this first.) before you proceed with the installation.
Cheers,
Subhadeep
