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.

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.

I downloaded Dreamweaver CC 2014.1, started using it but cannot find Show Fluid Grid Layout Guides button, Resize LI.link sizing handle and 'move up a Row' arrow. Where can I find them?

You have the latest version (CC 2014.1 or 2014.1.1) in which the interface condenses Design View with Live View buttons in normal layouts. See screenshot.
However, in FGLayouts, Live View is the only option which poses some editing problems and has been highly criticized.
Is there any way to display the Design View in fluid grid pages?

You can disable this restriction by adding an X to the FGLayout CSS.

Having said that, it might just be simpler to revert to an earlier version. Log-in to Creative Cloud Desktop app. Go to Filters & Versions > Previous Version. See screenshot.

I am using Dreamweaver cc 2014 and after applying css styles to my fluid grid layout I lose the resize, delete, duplicate and move up/ down ability.

I am using Dreamweaver cc 2014 and after applying css styles to my fluid grid layout I lose the resize,delete, duplicate an move up/ down ability.
For this reason I cannot build new pages by copying one page to create another.
I have a third style sheet that I use for the navigation styles and h1 -h6 ect. tags. and I am also using a css drop menu, can one of these be the problem?
The css menu I am using has the following script - I goes at the bottom of the html page. Before the closing body tag,
<script>
$(function () {
$("#nav").tinyNav();
</script>
I am also using the following for image control - I place it towards the top of the fluid
grid style sheet.
    box-sizing: border-box; /* Opera/IE 8+ */
    -moz-box-sizing: border-box; /* Firefox, other Gecko */
    -webkit-box-sizing: border-box; /* Safari/Chrome, other WebKit */
Can some one please help.

This implies there is something broken in your FluidGrid Layout CSS file.   It could be something simple like a missing semi-colon or curly bracket.   Run your code through the W3C validation tools below to check for errors. NOTE: ignore reported errors in boilerplate.css

Fluid grid layout - not being able to resize divs

Hi,
I've been woring on a fluid grid layout... found somethings I wanted to change but when I launch DW there are no resize handles on my divs
Second issue is that I moved the Styles tab up next to the File tab and after relaunching it's back in another panel group.
Thoughts??

Hi
Forgot to answer this one.
Did you save your 'custom' workspace?
It's at the top r/h, next to the search box. Click on the arrow next to the workspace name and select 'New Workspace'.

How do I get my Fluid Grid Layout page to resizes from portrait to landscape for iPhones?

Starting in portrait on my iPhone 4, the fluid grid layout page does not resize when I turn to landscape. After I refresh / resize to fit the page on landscape and then turn the iPhone to portrait, the page resizes just fine. Everything seems to be working just fine on the desktop, ignoring IE. Could it be my media query tags?
If anyone knows a solution, it would be much appreciated. Thanks.
Here is my test page: http://www.bedroomandmore.com/1_b_fluidGrid.html
Here are my media query tags (the first set of rules does not have the media query tag and becomes the default):

Dreamweaver CC has "internal error... while resizing a view" when asked to creat a fluid grid layout

Excited for expanded fluid grid layout features it had, I got Dreamweaver Creative Cloud SPECIFICALLY for that feature.
Sign up, download, install went smoothly. Open Dreamweaver CC, create new fluid grid layout, hit OK, name and desigante location of .css file and get the following error.
"An internal error occurred while resizing a view. (Cview::ResizeFrameBy)" OK
I click OK and nothing happens. App freezes. No css, no files. No nothing.
Have tried restarting, re-installing, different names and destinations for .css file. I'm running Mac 10.8.2
Literally, this is the first thing I've done w/ an ACC app and I am displeased and frustrated. Getting customer service either via forum or offshore phone call less than ideal.
(apologies for spelling error in subj. can't edit it)

Can you try the steps mentioned on the thread: http://forums.adobe.com/message/5420680

DW6 fluid grid layout issue: writes to page instead of css file

Using DW6 (version 12, owned, build 5861) on Windows 7 64 bit.
Following tutorials and the help files to use the fluid grid layout.
Start a blank page on a new site, which inserts the starter div and new css file
Immediately save page, which also generates/saves ancillary files (js and css).
Remove inner div that's created in order to use my own (have also tried leaving the default one in place and using that)
Insert new div, within the "gridContainer clearfix" div.
Place cursor just after that new div, still inside "gridContainer clearfix" and add new "fluid grid layout div tag", new row.
Following same method, do so again.
Dreamweaver adds the generated CSS code to the actual page instead of the expected div, visibly (minified)....and everything breaks. It does *not* add the code into the CSS file from there on and the only way to have it display the div (which does not show any visual indicators since the CSS is basically lost that would do so, is to CTRL-Z to undo the last step. It undoes the CSS showing as the only content in the HTML file, and *does* show a div with the name I'd given it. If I copy/paste that generated CSS into the fluid css file *then* CTRL-Z, it looks the way it's supposed to, with drag handles, visible indentations and so on.
If I then change div widths or position, it does record those changes in the CSS file, so it appears this is only when inserting new divs after the second one that's a problem (third div inside the container is when it starts choking; none overlap).
This is repeatable, on both desktop and laptop, running the same version. I've tried saving after every div insertion, only saving at the start, code view only, split only...
I've tried searching for someone else having this issue and must not be wording the search properly, can't find anyone else seeing this. It's a weird one.
If anyone can point me to something to try so the workaround isn't needed, it would be appreciated.

OK try this workflow.
Create a new FGLayout and SAVE. This will save your CSS file with whichever name you give it.
Switch to Design View. Click on Mobile Display. Build your mobile layout first since this is what everything else is based on.
Insert a few Divs and don't worry about content. Just get the basic Div structure stacked one on top of the other like this:
<div class="gridContainer clearfix">
     <div id="div1">
          Div 1
     </div>
      <div id="div2">
          Div 2
     </div>
     <div id="div3">
          Div 3
     </div>
      <div id="div4">
          Div 4
     </div>
</div>
Hit Save and name your HTML file.   Do not edit the CSS file. DW will generate the necessary layout code for you.
Switch to Tablet Display.
Grab the right side handles to resize divs and move to row above as desired.
Save often during development.
Switch to Desktop Display and repeat.
Once your layout is built, test media queries by previewing in browsers by resizing viewport
When you are completely satisfied with your responsive layout, begin adding content and use a separate external style sheet for content styles. DO NOT EDIT boilerplate or Layout CSS files as doing so could break your layout.

In Fluid Grid layout, I have hidden 2 div for mobile layout. How do I unhide them?

In Fluid Grid layout, I have hidden 2 <div> for mobile layout. How do I unhide them?

Hi there,
I visited your site using Dreamweaver CC and tested it using the default Desktop, Tablet and Mobile sizes, followed by the Smart Phone Size.
The CSS you currently have sets the featurest <div> to 'display: none' when viewed on screen sizes lower than 480px:
Another helpful way to find out what is going on with your CSS is to test the site with Firefox using Web Developer Tools to inspect the element (or alternatively, Adobes Inspect tool). You can right-click the image and "Inspect Element" then resize the browser window so you can see exactly which CSS rule is being applied and overrided.
My suggestion would be to add an additional media query in Dreamweaver to handle all screen sizes below 480px and then set divs or elements you want to hide or show display property to visible.
Hope this helps!

How can I convert my web page from a fixed width layout to a fluid grid layout?

I'm taking a web design class (I'm using Dreamweaver CS6, btw) wherein the professor started us out building our websites in a fixed width layout but now I want to change my site into a fluid grid layout. My "site" so far is just one long page, and I've already designed it with fluid grid adjustments in mind (most things are centered in the layout) so it shouldn't need excessive tweaking.
Is there a way to duplicate the site folder that holds my first page, re-open a new document in fluid, then copy the code in and tweak the width parameters for the different layouts?
Did I just answer my own question? Help - I am new at this!!
Thanks all,
KC

A bit off-topic, but Osgood: have you ever used SASS or LESS? When you are building your own grid systems it can save you a tremendous amount of time, and it's a lot of fun.
Take the following simple example - it generates all the 23 css classes automatically for a 12 grid system. And simply changing one variable allows you to create and calculate any number of columns!
//variables
$desktop: 1025px;
$large-columns: 12;
@media only screen and (min-width: $desktop) {
     //regular grid span classes
    @for $i from 1 through $large-columns {
        .span-large-#{$i} {
            width: percentage($i/$large-columns);
     // push classes
    @for $i from 1 through (($large-columns)-1) {
        .push-large-#{$i} {
            margin-left: percentage($i/$large-columns);
No, not explored it yet, and may never....I don't know. I don't really make much money out of web design. It's becoming more and more difficult to find the desire to learn new techniques when the opportunities aren't really there to put them into practice on as regular basis as I would like. I've got a very good handle on css, php, html, jQuery - I'm not sure I want to add another layer at the moment, given I'm never quite sure how long I will continue to 'bang my head against the wall' . I'm getting to the stage where I keep asking myself do I really need the problems associated with learning new stuff to the point of being comfortable with it if the financial rewards at the end don't equate to the efforts of learning it.
I don't really enjoy web development if truth is known. I come from a Graphic Design background which I much prefer but somehow got side tracked and pushed in this direction and there's no way back now, lol. Whilst I concede Web Development is much more exciting its also 100 times more complex/difficult and the skills needed are considerably more.
Your example looks interesting and I should think I could pick it up reasonably easily given I work with php which uses variables on a similar basis.

Using fluid grid layout in Dreamweaver CC - how do I create a dropdown menu within my main navigation?

I am new to using the responsive fluid grid layouts in Dreamweaver CC - and I am unable to find any information on creating a dropdown menu within my main navigation.
Any ideas?

You'll need to find a menu system that is responsive and mobile friendly for touch screen devices.
If you have a budget to work with, Project Seven's Pop-Menu Magic3 is a commercial extension for DW that works great out of the box.
http://projectseven.com/products/menusystems/pmm3/index.htm
If you don't have a budget, you'll need to create a desktop menu and add a jQuery plugin for mobile 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.

I really do appreciate your efforts to help me solve this problem... Thank you in advance

Height is determined by content. I can't think of a single reason to have a div height of 5px because almost nothing will fit inside that small a space without problems.
As to why it doesn't show up in other devices, you must have put that style into the Tablet CSS code instead of the default Mobile CSS code.
Fluid Grids build up from Mobile (applied to everything) with specific rules for Tablets, then Desktops.
Best advice, use Fluid Grids for layout only. Use a separate CSS file for content styles.
Hope this helps,

Lost fluid grid layout

I use dreamweaver cc
I opened and created a page, that worked fine in fluid grid layout.
I then quit out of dreamweaver, then came back to the same page later.
Now when i open that page in dreamweaver cc, i no longer see it with the fluid grid layout or with the fluid grid handles on any of the divs.
I also no longer have the little button in the toolbar next to live button either.... to toggle the fluid layout on and off.
I did see one solution which says to go to view/ visual aids/ display fluid grid layouts
but this does not seem to be available in dreamweaver cc... only dreamweaver cs6.
I have the latest version of dreamweaver cc, and have set up the page correctly.
Thanks in advance to anyone that takes the time to help.

Hi Nancy,
My operating system is Windows 7, run at our health corporation, (so I can't upgrade to Windows 8 or 8.1.)
Im running Adobe Dreamweaver Creative Cloud built 6733 - the latest version as of today.
The problem I have been experiencing match up with those of many other users over the last 2 years. There's quite a few posts reporting the same type of thing that I am. Basically it's to do with the Fluid layout controls and the icon on the toolbar that first appears once you've created a new webpage controlled by the fluid layout stylesheet. These are first there, but after restarting DW they are gone.
i.e.
I create an HTML5 webpage saved as 'default.asp' and a fluid grid stylesheet named fg-styles.css.
The Fluid Grid layout controls are all there. (I am doing nothing else, no injection of code nothing.)
Then I close Dreamweaver
On reopening of Dreamweaver and all files, when looking at the default.asp file in Design view, the fluid grid hide/show icon on the toolbar and the fluid grid controls when clicking inside the fluid div no longer show.
I get this every single time, even after rebooting my computer.
The controls also strangely disappear during a session when I am adding new blocks within the fluid grid panel.
I am so close now from discontinuing using this tool and looking elsewhere for fluid grid solutions.
It seems such a powerful tool, but what use is it if it is unstable. Really, DW should not roll out such tools until they have been proven to work reliably.
Also documentation should be provided that makes clear when this tool cannot be used reliably and workaround solutions.
I have now spent a solid 10 hours on this, and created countless versions of the same page.
Admittedly at one stage I discovered that when adding the classic ASP line above my HTML5 code that this would not work after Dreamweaver saved my document as an .asp file, but even .html files still experience all kinds of bugs with this tool.
I hope this kinda explained what problems I am facing.
Thanks again for your time.
I will now move on to other fluid grid solutions, but am happy to re-look at the DW tool if there is a sure-fire way that fixes my problems.

Responsive scaling of Edge Animate composition in Dreamweaver Fluid Grid Layout

I have created an animation in Edge Animate and have placed it in the header of a Dreamweaver Fluid Grid Layout. I have put it in a div by itself so it can be turned off in the mobile layout. When I test the layout in a browser, the Edge Animate composition scales responsively to the window size, but the height of the div it is in does not. The width of the div changes with the width of the window, but the height of the div remains the same. Because the height of the div doesn't change, as the animation responds and resizes it leaves a large empty space between the bottom of the animation and the content that follows it on the page.
The div itself does not have a rule for it's height associated with it. It seems to me that the div is getting its height from the original size of the html object which is the animation. I tried removing the height rule for the object, but then the div clips the bottom of the animation, and again, it doesn't resize with the window.
Is there a way I can get the div's height to resize with the size of the animation as it changes?

Thanks for your reply. You're right about most people not resizing their viewport during a session, but unfortunately the problem exists whether the screen is being resized or not. Refreshing the screen doesn't solve the problem.
The width of the div adjusts to the width of the screen as expected and the Edge Animate composition inside it does too, but the height of the div doesn't adjust. As the animation gets smaller to fit the width, the height of the div that contains it remains the same, leaving empty space at the bottom of the div. What is needed is for the div to scale to fit the page width proportionally. Instead, only the width is adjusting.
So I guess I need to know if there's either a way to force the div to scale proportionally or a way to tell it to adjust to the animation that it contains.
