Missing handles fluid grid layout dreamweaver cc

I have seen the other postings to correct the problem with resolving the missing handles with a div in dreamweaver cc BUT it is not working when I try it.
very frustrating... when you set up the initial design the boxes are there to resize, move up, hide divs BUT once you save the design and return to the page, they are missing.
HOw are you to design a web site in one sitting.. bit ridiculous!
Please help with this issue!

Did you manually edit any of the FluidGrid CSS code? It's very temperamental and prone to failures if you tamper with it. I always advise people to use a separate external style sheet for content styles.

Missing resize handles fluid grid layout

I have created a fluid grid layout and need to resize for tablet and desktop views but resize handles will not appear. What did I do wrong?

Go to View > Visual Aids > and enable Fluid Grid Layout Guides. However, if you tampered with the temperamental Fluid.css code, you probably broke the layout. Try starting over.

Unable to edit elements in Fluid Grid Layout - Dreamweaver CC

Hello. I have an issue whereby the elements inserted in to a Fluid Grid Layout designed webpage become 'locked' (??) I can no longer edit them and when they are clicked on I just get a blue border. No handles, eye, delete button etc..
I cannot find any pattern on why this is happening and seems to be random. Although I am happy to accept I am doing something wrong..
Any ideas?

Are you removing/modifying any of the comments in the related CSS file (custom styles file and not the ones provided by boilerplate/JQuery/etc)
DW uses some comments to identify the page as a FG page. If you happen to remove/modify any of that, DW will stop recognizing it as a FG page.
The comment block would look similar to:
                Dreamweaver Fluid Grid Properties

Fluid Grid Layout Dreamweaver CC

Hi guys!
How is everybody? I am creating a fluid grid layout in Dreamweaver CC and when I use the visual design, I go to insert and insert either a paragraph or an h1. It always makes me create either a class or a id. Is that normal for a fluid grid layout? It will not let me insert as just h1 of p, I always have to either create an id or a class. Thanks a ton.

Hi Nancy. Thanks for getting back to me. I'm sorry I didn't get to go into more detail. I was in a phone call while I was typing. I am not so good at multitasking. With the visual view in a regular html document, I can easily insert tags like an h1 or p and am not required to create an id or class. it works just fine. However, when I use the fluid grid layout which I absolutely love, if I am using the visual view and I go to structure insert h1 or p, I am prompted to either make it a class or a div. I just find that a bit odd and am wondering why they require you to do that. I did take your advice about just going to the code view and typing out the tags. I can still go back to the visual view and create the selectors.
I just found that to be a bit odd as it doesn't prompt in a basic document.

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.

CSS Transitions Fluid Grid Layout Dreamweaver Cs6 'stops working'

I am unable to use the CSS Transisions panel at all in Fluid Grids Layout.
I open the panel but when I select the + to add a transition, the program crashes.
This is my second website, the same happened when building my first website, but I did without as I could not get a solution (about 18 months ago).
I need it on this website.
Some people in Adobe support have my files but can't seem to find a problem. I have Windows 8 on a powerful computer.
We've tested CSS Transitions on a brand new Fluid Grid Layouts page and it works.
But never for a page I have content in.
I began seeking help on this about a month ago and now I'm really being held up.
I'm disappointed and frustrated that Adobe isn't being more pro-active in finding the solution for their customer.
I can't email customer service to flag my problem, I am reliant on people who don't get back to me in a timely manner.
What can I do as this Adobe product has not been working for me and I am relying on it.
Thank you

Add a link to jQuery's Latest Library to your document <head> tags.
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.min.js"></script>
Add the jQuery function code to <script> tags in your document. I typically put them right above the closing </body> tag.
<script>
$(document).ready(function () {
    $("#one").click(function () {
        $("#one-a").toggle('slow');
    $("#two").click(function () {
        $("#two-a").toggle('slow');
    $("#three").click(function () {
        $("#three-a").toggle('slow');
</script>
</body>
As to why DW is closing you down, I don't know. That's not an expected behavior.
Without seeing your code, I'm going to guess that your CSS transition logic is incorrect or you're attempting to add transitions to the FluidGridLayout.css which is never a good idea. Always use a separate, external style sheet for your manually added content styles. Changes to either boilerplate.css or the temperamental FluidGridLayout.css files can result in problems.

Design option missing for Fluid Grid layouts (was:In dreamweaver CC, I created a new fluid grid page, but the options to edit the page...)

Hi, in dreamweaver CC, I created a new fluid grid page, but the options to edit the page are limited to code / split / live. The design optin is missing and I need it to move around the fluid grid to position my elements that I have created.
Thanks

Hi Raymi,
Like Ben suggested, you can vote for the feature using the link provided. From what I understand, the product team is collecting feedback on the limitations of Live View for FG layouts and improving experience on that front. It would help if you could provide a list of limitations with the current workflow.
Thanks,

Fluid grid layout problem

I am trying to create a fluid grid layout. In fact it is why I purchased Dreamweaver CS6. Problem is after I create the first div which I named header it works fine. However, on inserting the next div Dreamweaver inserts the following text in my index.html:
@charset "utf-8"; /* Simple fluid media Note: Fluid media requires that you remove the media's height and width attributes from the HTML http://www.alistapart.com/articles/fluid-images/ */ img, object, embed, video { max-width: 100%; } /* IE 6 does not support max-width so default to width 100% */ .ie6 img { width:100%; } /* Dreamweaver Fluid Grid Properties ---------------------------------- dw-num-cols-mobile:3; dw-num-cols-tablet 8; dw-num-cols-desktop: 12; dw-gutter-percentage 20; Inspiration from "Responsive Web Design" by Ethan Marcotte http://www.alistapart.com/articles/responsive-web-design and Golden Grid System by Joni Korpi http://goldengridsystem.com/ */ /* Mobile Layout: 480px and below. */ .gridContainer { margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 85.9444%; padding-left: 2.5277%; padding-right: 2.5277%; } #LayoutDiv1 { clear: both; float: left; margin-left: 0; width: 100%; display: block; } #header { clear: both; float: left; margin-left: 0; width: 100%; display: block; } #nav { clear: both; float: left; margin-left: 0; width: 100%; display: block; } /* Tablet Layout: 481px to 768px.

I suspected the respond.min.js file was causing the problem so I downloaded an update but it didn't help. At this point I am not able to use this feature of Dreamweaver. Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks for the help. I am using version 12.0 build 5861.
I was trying to follow the example in a book I have called Dreamweaver CS6 – The Missing Manual. When I got to the section discussing Fluid Grid Layout, I attempted to follow the example step by step. I was able to insert the first div which I named header. I looked at my css file and it had placed the #header.
I knew that I had to remain within the container div. I went into the code view and placed the cursor to the right of the header div. I then clicked the insert Fluid Grid Layout Div Tag button. That’s when it automatically inserted all of the code I indicated in my post.
I then started to follow the example in http://www.adobe.com/inspire/2012/08/fluid-grid-layouts-dreamweaver-cs6.html . I got the same results.
I’m beginning to wonder if there is an error in the Dreamweaver software itself.
Any help you can give will be appreciated.

Fluid grid layout won't open

I simply create a new fluid grid layout.. name and save the default css file ...name and save the default first page and upload to my server.
Everything works fine and I am able to work on the page in dreamweaver cc as a fluid grid layout.
But when i close down dream weaver, (even if i do no more than save the two files and dont edit anything else) and reopen dreamweaver cc i can no longer work in fluid grid layout, dreamweaver doesnt recognise the page (default) as fluid grid layout and i cannot see the little button that toggles fluid grid layout on and off.
I have not edited the css file or the page in anyway.
someone suggested i go to visual aids and enable fluid grid guides .... but this does not exist and there is no longer a fluid grid button next to the live view button.
I really need to get this working, fluid grid layouts are useless if you cant edit them after creating them
Here is the default code
<!doctype html>




<html class="">

<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<link href="boilerplate.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
<link href="/test2.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">


<script src="respond.min.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<div class="gridContainer clearfix">
<div id="div1" class="fluid">Use Insert Panel for additional Fluid Grid Layout Elements. Note: All Fluid Layout tags must be contained within the "gridContainer" div tag.</div></div>
</body>
</html>
Thanks in advance for any replies

I defined the site, when i imported the site as business catalyst site.
It is there, i have checked all the details are correct and can edit and work on the site as a normal site, I just can't get it to recognise any pages i've created as a fluid grid page after closing and reopening the page.
Yeah I watched the video and that is what im doing, create new page as fluid grid layout, save the css to the root, save the html page to the root, all works fine and i can edit in the fluid grid, the grids there, the little buttons there, the handles to adjust fluid grid propertys there.
But at any point if i close the page and open it again i lose the handles, the fluid grid and the little button and can only edit as a normal dreamweaver page.
I tried to phone adobe support yesterday but gave up after 2 hours of waiting

How to increase the width of the Fluid Grid Layout from 1008px to 1080px?

Good day all, I'm experiencing a slight problem with Fluid Grid Layout in Dreamweaver CS6. I want to increase it's width so that it could be one with my Photoshop CS6 design (which is 1080px), the problem is that I can't as I am limited to 1008px. How do I increase the width? I ultimately am re-coding my design as my client demanded a responsive design but I'm clueless in that avenue which is why I resorted to re-doing everything under the set & safe default (Fluid Grid Layout) that doesn't require me to udnderstand media queries at an expert level.

While Fluid Grid Layout can save you some production time, you still need a good understanding of CSS Media Queries to use it.

Instead of fixed-widths in pixels, FLG code is all % based. It starts with the mobile layout and cascades to tablet, then desktop. If you want to use fixed-widths in pixels, you must manually change the CSS code for all three devices.

Fluid grid layouts do not work in IE 7/8

Hello,
I just created a simple fluid grid layout with Dreamweaver CS6, but there is a problem in Internet Explorer.
IE 9 shows it right.
When I start IE 9, I press F12 to get to the developer panel. When I switch to IE 7 / 8, the layout crashes. There are no background colors and text styles anymore.
Later I will upload some screenshots.
All other browser work fine.
Where is the problem here?

When I resize layout in Firefox, the background colors disappear in mobile portrait, mobile landscape, and tablet portrait.
Reason: You added styles to your FluidGrid Desktop but not mobile & tablet.
In order for FluidGridLayouts to work, you must build your mobile styles first because everything else is based on that.
I find it's much safer to use a separate style sheet for content. When you start adding stuff to FluidGridLayout.css, things can get screwed up in a hurry.

Understanding Fluid Grid Layout

Hi,
First of all - I apologize - my English is bad, but I hope you will understand me.
I'm currently watching some video tutorials about responsive web design, particularly about Fluid Grid Layout/Dreamweaver.
To get to the point and to be as simple as possible, my question is: In what cases elements do NOT need to have class="fluid"?
For example, here's part of the code from one video tutorial:
<body>
    <div class="gridContainer clearfix">
        <header id="header" class="fluid">
            <h1>The Best Site Ever!</h1>
            <nav id="mainnav" class="fluid">
                <ul>
                    <li><a href="index.html">Home</a></li>
                    <li><a href="about.html">About Us</a></li>
                    <li><a href="products.html">Products</a></li>
                    <li><a href="#">Services</a></li>
                    <li><a href="#">Contact</a></li>
                </ul>
            </nav>
        </header>
        <article id="intro" class="fluid">
            <h2>Some Title</h2>
            <p>Some thext... </p>
        </article>
As you can see above, <header> and <article> elements that are child-elements of <div class="gridContainer clearfix"> have class="fluid". But, let's look inside <header> element - there are two child-elemets: <h1> without and <nav> with class="fluid".
Now, correct me if I'm wrong - If some element has child-elements - it must have class="fluid" (except for the case with ul/ol and its child-elements li), right? For example, element <article id="intro"> must have class="fluid" because it has child element <h2> and <p>, but those child elements will not have class="fluid" because they don't have child-elements. On the other side, child-element (of the <header id="header" class="fluid">) <nav id="mainnav" will have class="fluid" because it has child element (ul). Only in case of lists there are exceptions...

Thank you for your response. It isn't the snapping that appears to be the problem. This is an example of what I'm trying to do. Excel was the best way for me to provide a visual. Is this possible? Every time I try to place divs in a similar layout, the div will not take up multiple rows. For example div 4 would move down and where row 7 is would now be row 4. Div 2 would have also moved down because of 5. I have a large image that needs to be placed to the left of a header and vertical menu. I'm trying to keep the header and menu seperate and the image needs to be aligned to the top left of the text. I'm sorry that I'm overcomplicating this. I must admit it surprises me that the fluid grid appears to be dictated by rows. I'm wondering if for this particular design I should just stick to a table.

Trouble styling across device views ( Mobile, Tablet, Desktop) in fluid grid layout.

Hi pros,
I’m having a problem in Dreamweaver CC laying out and styling my website using the fluid grid layout. For the record, I have not touched the boilerplate.css or JS file and have been using my own.css file to place all my .css in. I’ve managed to get some of the content in little by little but it looks nothing like my mock up. Since I’m new to Dreamweaver and coding in general, I’ve been starting my design in the desktop view. However, when I switch to tablet or mobile view and move something around, it completely moves it when I got back to the desktop view. Also, when I put in on live view or view it in a browser, I get two different looks all together. I try to make sure that my .css file is selected and under media I tried selecting the predefined media sizes and then under selector, there is usually 3 of each tag (one for each view I’m guessing), I select the tag associated with that view and change the properties from there. That hasn’t worked because when I go to live view or view in the browser, it looks completely off or it will screw with the other views. L
So here are my specific questions:
How do I style my elements specifically in each view WITHOUT messing up the desktop, or the other views? Simply clicking on a view using the icons on the bottom and styling has not worked.
Why is my live view so different from my browser view? I’m using the presets given in Dreamweaver for the desktop. When I view, say the logo and navigation in live view, everything is aligned but when I switch to my browser (chrome) it’s all crooked.
Should I be using % throughout all my properties (width, height, margin, padding, positioning)? Currently I have most of my div sized using % but some margins and other properties using px. Will that affect anything?
Can someone recommend a good tutorial? Everything that I seen either covers the basics that I already know,( adding/moving divs, switch views) but when it comes to the .css styling, they are adding a style sheet from somewhere without showing you how to do it from scratch.
Should I design the page in a non- fixed layout and then import the .css style sheet from there? If so, how do I do that without messing with the boilerplate.css file.
I’m taking a course in graphic and web design and we went over this very quickly and was given a lot of the material, however our final project (a full website with 5 pages) must be responsive and built in Dreamweaver. Any advice is greatly appreciated!

Making an external style sheet.
Go to File > New > Blank page > CSS.
Hit create button.
Add some style rules to your new style sheet and save it.
Link your HTML pages to your new style sheet using the directions below.
