Results look different in Live View and Browser Lab

I'm using CS5 and am using absolute positioning to place an image. It looks great in Live View, but when I open Browser Lab it has shifted dramatically. Any ideas what's going on and with view should I trust. Thanks.

Hi Jalynoble,
We've tried to repro the issue you describe, but haven't been able to, so it must be something specific to your page. Can you provide us with a URL or package up and email the source code for the page with this issue so we can look into it?
You can post the url here, or email the files to [email protected]
Thanks,
Mark

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)?

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.

Design view and browser view in DW are different than when I view from local folder

I'm brand new to Dreamweaver CS5.5 and here is my problem:
I've made an html page in dreamweaver with a banner, with an additional graphic and some text on top of the banner. It displays just fine in every browser when I view from the local folder, but when I open DW and view, it displays incorrectly in all three design, live and browser views within DW. If I make changes to the css file until it views correctly in design view, it no longer displays correctly from the local folder and it still doesn't view correctly in live or browser view within DW. If what I'm doing isnt going to display accurately in any of the views provided by Dreamweaver as compared to the live server, whats the point in having this software? I could just keep building webpages in notepad and uploading with CoreFTP.
Any suggestions? Is it some setting that I dont know about that I need to change within DW? Please help.

align="center" is deprecated (obsolete) code in XHTML & HTML5 doc types. Instead of styling markup with HTML, you should be using CSS.
CSS
.center {text-align:center}
HTML
<p class="center">some centered text here</p>
With respect to break tags, in XHTML doc types the correct syntax is <br /> not <br>. However your usage of line breaks is inconsistent with good symantic markup. Use headings <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> for important keywords. Use <p> for descriptive paragraphs. Use <ul> <li> or <ol> <li> for lists. Line breaks should be used minimally if ever.
XHTML doc types require all tags to be lowercase. Uppercase tags will throw errors.
Your design is too rigid. When text size is increased in browsers, your content is unreadable. See screenshot.
SOLUTIONS:
1) DO NOT USE POSITION ABSOLUTE. You don't need it. Absolute positioning removes content from the normal document flow resulting in a jumbled mess. Use default CSS positioning (none) with margins, padding & floats to align elements.
2) Remove HEIGHT values from all CSS containers. Height limits a container's capacity to hold more content when needed. Container height should always be determined by the amount of content it holds; not explicit values. If required to reveal a background image, for example, use CSS min-height instead of height.

Design View and Browser show different layout

I am having an issue with a site I am working on. The site
looks great in
the browser, but it doesn't look right in design view in
Dreamweaver. I
have posted 2 screenshots (they are around 140k apiece), they
are linked
below,
Dreamweaver -

Browser -

What would be causing this?
Thanks in Advance,
Drew

It could be a number of things, but until we see the code it
would only be,
at best, a guess. Please post the link to the page.

My Spry Menu bar is different in design view and when I preview in Browser.

When in design view my Spry Meny Bar is horizontal like I chose. But when I preview it in browser it appears as just type verically down the side of the screen. With no boxes around it. Please help.

Did you define a local site folder in DW before you began your project?

Why does my page look great in design view and to the left in live view?

I just created a new page using a fluid grid layout and in "design" view it looks great but in "live" view or on a browser preview the wording all goes to the left. What I am doing wrong? I also have another question which may relate to the first. I have four templates. Do I create a new named .css file for each new template or continue using the same layout.css file for all templates? Since I created a new .css file for every template maybe it is causing confusion. Thanks in advance.

If this is what you want, rework your HTML so all three images are in the same div and adjust your css to narrow the scroll down image and on Order jpg, vertically align top, 30px margin.
<div id="header">
<div id="pic1">
<img src="Thumbs/Scroll-Down.jpg" alt="More Pictures">
<img class="goldborder" src="NewImages/englilshivymain.jpg" alt="">
<a href="#OrderHere2">
<img alt="Order Here" src="Thumbs/OrderHere.jpg">
</a>

Text Field location differs on design view and preview mode

I am using Adobe LiveCycle Desginer ES. I am updating forms currently created in Livecycle 6 and 7. I am noticing the text fields are lower on the preview mode than where I have placed them on the design mode. In design mode, they are perfectly in line with the other text. When going to preview they are off anywhere from a couple centimeters to a couple inches. I have started over with new forms and had this same problem.
This issue mostly occurs when I have a text box with a large amount of text and I place text fields over the text boxes. Has anyone had this issue also? If so, is there a solution? This issue never happened in 6 or 7, I am only seeing this issue in the ES version.
Any help would be appreciated. (I am willing to recreate the forms, but that has the same issue also.)

In version 7 there were updates made to the text engine. There were situations where things did not align correctly. To solve this there was an option added to allow you to revert back to the old engine. To do this go into the File/Form Properties/Compatibility then click on the button for the Revert Text Formatting and try your form again.
Note that at some point in time you should update your form to use the new engine and stop using the version 6 of Reader/Acrobat.
Hope that helps

Why page looks fine in Design view but not live view?

I am new to DW. I created a page that looks fine in design view but now I cant get it to show up in live view or the browser preview. Can some one give me some areas to troubleshoot. Most of the code is from a previous page I created that still looks fine in every view. I am not sure what I could be doing different in setting up this site.

Thanks for taking the time to reply to question. Aftr taking a break. I came back realized I inserted the stylesheet before I changed site settings. I just needed to remove the forward slash from my stylesheet declaration. FYI for anyone else new to DW: if stuffs not showing in Live View and Browser Preview eg background images, Go to Manage Sites and check your site setting for Links relative to: You may have switched between document and site root. Thus breaking your links to images or in my case the entire style sheet.

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.

Wrong position of objects / difference between editor view and browser view.

Dear Adobe
System info: Mac OS X 10.9, Muse 7.1 Build 329, Chrome, Safari and Firefox in the newest versions.
I use Muse since version 5 and this effect does exist 'til today (v7.1) without any changes.
Many times i have differences in the position of placed objects. But this missbehaviour is not realy logical. For example take a look to this illustration:
Left: Muse Editor, right: Browser (in this case its chrome, but the effect is identical in safari and firefox too)
Left you see one pixel space between the blue bar and the shadow (image-object). In the browser is the space bigger (2px). When i move the shadow-object in muse one pixel higher, then look this so:
The shadow is now within the bluebar. The position has changed in muse for 1 pixel, in browser around 7 pixels... i don't see, why.
Another example:
Left Muse Editor, right Browser... do you see the dramatic difference between?
I hope, this problem can be solved with a future version...
Best regards
Michael

This variation is due to the difference in the layout of text between Design view and Preview, which is representative of the variations that exist between browsers, OSes, devices and individual versions of each of those.
It's impossible to reverse engineer the structure of the objects from the screenshots, but how the objects or individual sized and positioned relative to one another is key to understanding (and explaining) what you're encountering.
If you provide the URL for this page I'll attempt take a look at it and provide some guidance for how to achieve the effect you're looking for within the constraints inherent in working with live text on the web.

Live view different from design view

Hi folks,
Does anyone know why, in dreamweaver, there is a difference between the site design in Design View and what you see in live view; and how should oneapproach this difference?
Thanks.

Design View was coded a LONG time ago and Adobe hasn't really changed it much. It is very useful for my workflow, which is to work in Split view and jump back and forth between the Design view pane and the Code View pane. I know right off the bat that I won't see everything. Design View will never show me the newer CSS3 attributes, like shadow, gradients and so on. But it gives me a "rough" analog to work with while I'm doing general layout. Things like, "Am I breaking up the text enough to keep people on my web page?" "Do I have this typeface too small?" "Is the picture I just put in there positioned correctly?"
Also, be forewarned, "Live" view is Webkit (an Open Source browser) so it will accurately portray Google's Chrome and Apple's Safari. It will not accurately show issues with Firefox and Internet Exploiter. So, before you launch your website, do a check in all of the major browsers.

Why does my site look different in chrome, safari and explorer?

Hi,
My site looks ok in Firefox but it looks different in chrome, safari and explorer...
I have already tried to clean the cache and delete cookies, what I have to do?
Thanks for helping!
Livia

Hi Livia
I have checked the file and can see that you have used a slideshow for browser background , the page fill is the hero image where the thumbnails are disabled.
If you remove the slideshow then the issue is resolved as the red bar in top and white bar at bottom comes fine with all browsers.
Please remove the slideshow from page background and use the same image as browser fill which will fix the issue.
Thanks,
Sanjit

Access 2010 on 64 Bit Windows 7 Access "Not Responding" when changing from forms view to design view and back

I am running
Windows 7 64 bit
Access 2010 32 bit
Developing an application with a split FE BE with both files local but continue to have the message "Not Responding" when switching from forms view to design view and back as well as if I try to connect to a subform or object on the sub form.

I have seen this behavior when the form's RecordSource is a complex query such as a crosstab or a query with several nested queries. To test if this is your case, remove the RecordSource and see if the form starts acting normal again.
Then again, if the form has several subforms they might be slowing up the loading time.

Images not showing in viewer and browser

I've been using Apreture 2.1.1 without any problems until yesterday. Even though all my projects are in tact, I can no longer see the images in the Aperture viewer and browser. I really don't know how this happened. To rectify the problem I did the following:
1. Verified and repaired the Disk using Disk Utility
2. Logged in in Safe mode and did the above
3. Uninstalled Aperture, removed all reference files and re-installed
4. Opened the Library and photos are all intact.
5. Uninstalled Aperture and re-installed the 2.0 version
I did all the above but still have the same issue. Just can't figure out what is wrong here.
Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.
thanks
ps. Forgot to add this: It also crashes when I want to quit it

did you dump the preferences and appropriate other files? prior to the reinstall? otherwise if any of those files are bad you'll be installing aperture with the same possibly corrupt files.
your problem sounds like a hard drive or cable issue, have you swapped out cables?
what cable are you using? eSATA? FW800?
