Nested div tags "Design View" problem

I have had ongoing problems using nested div tags to layout
my page. The page displays correct in browser but does not display
properly in Dreamweaver Design View. Highlighting the CSS id in
Code View shows the correct groupings. The code also passed the
validator test.
I am fairly new at Dreamweaver so I could be missing
something basic.
Code is displayed at
http://www.mektronix-net.campusbizcenter.com/

I've not see this before, so can't say why it would be happening. Would the pc be low on resources? but then again you say it happened even after a restart of the pc.
Maybe you could try the file cache and the personal configuration folder fix to see if it fixes any issues.

PS: While I'm at it, it would be wrong for me to point out that using AP divs is not the optimum way to create a layout.... unless you know the repercussions of using them.
Here's why: (from the Dreamweaver FAQ)

Design View - problems, but does it matter?

Another design view question - I've looked through other
posts but not seen anything that's similar.
(Firstly, can't give a URL as I'm sensibly(?) doing a site
redesign offline...)
I've got a page that consists of three columns - each floated
left, each with nested divs (the nested divs are fixed width).
In design view, everything was fine with this structure - as
was preview in browser, and the page validates with DWCS3's
checker. But adding content to the first of the columns (within a
nested div) made the next two columns drop below the first in
design view - although DWCS3 validation and previewing is still
fine.
Through judicious deleting etc., I've found that it was a
floated element in a nested div within the first column, that
caused the subsequent elements to drop below the first column.
So my main question is - should I be worried by the design
view problems, or is It just an inconvenience?
(And if there's any other obvious problems I'm inviting by
structuring the page this way, please feel free to (gently) point
it out...!).
Thanks, Matt.

Yes. I'd say more, but I cannot see your page.

When moving Div in design view : Top & Left as Percentage?

Hello All,
Whenever I move a div in design view, the left and top values are changed to pixels - I would like these to be given as percentages (using the viewport dimensions I have currently selected).
Is this possible? If so can anyone tell me how to configure this please?
If not, would it be possible for me to create an extension for this? Does the extension API provide that kind of ability?
Thanks in advance,
Peter

#1 DW is not a click & drag application like Photoshop or Illustrator.
#2 Switch to Code View and apply the top: and left: values manually.
CSS:
#DivName {
     position:absolute;
     top:xx%;
     left:xx%;
That said, APDivs seldom work well for primary layouts. Here's why:

You would do well to spend some time learning code basics before you start using DW.

Centering div makes design view too wide

<div style="width: 100%;">
<div style="width: 100px; margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;">
BODY CONTENT
</div>
</div>
Ok, I've been wrapping my body content in the div tags shown
above rather
than using a centred table as I did before. The problem I
have is that
design view is too wide and I have to use the horizontal
scroll bars when I
am using my laptop. It's not a big problem, but was wondering
if it was
necessary to have to live with this? Also, is there any
particular reason
the div appears yellow in design view?
Cheers

Design View Problems in Dreamweaver CS3

Hello folks,
I've been having design view issues in Dreamweaver CS3 on my
Windows XP 2002 SP2 computer. When placing library items in tables,
the library item will disappear from design view, and sometimes
columns or rows in disappear as well. The code remains unaffected
and the pages appear okay in all browsers, but not having preview
working correctly is definitely a disadvantage. Has anyone else
experienced this problem and, if so, do you know of any fixes?
Many thanks!
Brooke

This is nearly diagnostic for an improperly made Library
item.
Do your Library items contain <html>, <head>, or
<body> tags? Do they
contain CSS rules?
If not, can you show us a page that is doing this for you?

D8 Design view problem or setting

Hi, I think I may have unknowingly adjusted a setting or
preference for the display of design view. The thing is that while
I was working on a form page the design view display changed from
readable to some sort of garbled rendition of the page. I
understand this could be a problem with my code except that I have
the design view issue on lots of pages now…the included Page
Designs(CSS) templates don’t view properly in design view.
Attached is a screen capture, and the code used, of a basic new
html document to which I add a layer…the layer views as a
long narrow rectangular box and supposedly I should be able to
click on it and resize the layer box…but I can’t. In
these situations design view is unusable.
Please help educate me.
Thanks,
Greg
Code is attached for screen capture...btw, not my code all
autogenerated by Dreamweaver.
Screen Capture of
Design View display

JDev 11g JSF design view problem

Hi everyone
I have a problem with JDev 11g
whenever I'm trying to edit a jsf page the design view only shows the tag names like the image below
[http://www.imgplace.com/viewimg134/241/9511g.png]
this is only happens when editing jsf pages and everything is ok while editing jsp
so why is this happening and how to fix it?
thanks
Edited by: user13266332 on Jul 23, 2010 10:09 PM

Thanks for the link Shay Shmeltzer.
but unfortunately that didn't help much
i tried running jdev.exe with the console open and also enabled "Show Design Time Messages in Log" but i didn't get any error message
also tried adding different libraries to project but the design view still doesn't render the tags.
any other solution?

Design view problem after upgrade to CS4

I just upgraded from DW 8 to CS4. When I open up (using design view) any page created in DW 8, only the top portion is shown in CS4. All pages in my website seem to have the same problem being displayed in CS4 using design view.
Does anyone know what the problem could be? I would greatly appreciate some help! I am attaching a screen shot from CS4. A page example is available here: http://www.studentguideusa.com/Sports.php
Thanks!

That page uses includes, and has more than one head, body, etc.
Include files should contain only the code for that section of the page, so that when everything is put together you end up with one DOCTYPE, one pair of <html> tags, one <head>, and one <body>.
Earlier versions of Dreamweaver ignored the invalid code. Dreamweaver CS4 does not.

How come I can see my div in design view but not in live view

Hi,
I have a div ID called "portfolio" that I can see in design view but not live view or on a browser. It's a little pink square and I want that square round also.
I ran it through validator. It picked up some things in the style.css which I changed and the boilerplate.css that I did not. Because I thought DW auto creates code for boilerplate because I don't enter that code myself.
It's also rejecting a lot of webkit code but this seems like standard webkit code that works elsewhere on the page.
BTW: at what point does this brutal hand coding pay off in money and less heartache when Wordpress looks cleaner and is so much easier to use? I feel like I barely know HTML or CSS in terms of translating vision to reality and with all-browser functionality after months and months of on-line classes. How long are the pros at it till they reach a watershed point?
here's my address: http://www.adjacentdimensionsmedia.com/home.html
Here's my html:
<body>
<div class="gridContainer clearfix">
    <div id="div1" class="fluid"><img src="adtitle2.png" width="700" height="80" alt=""/></div>
<div class="fluid"><div class="box-shad"><a href="index.html"></a></div>
</div>
    <div id="portfolio">Portfolio</div>
</body>
Here's my CSS:
.box-shad {
margin-top: 200px;
margin-left: 100px;
width: 900px;
height: 700px;
display: block;
background-image: url("images/Big-tree-trans1.png");
background-size: 900px 700px;
-webkit-box-shadow: 15px 15px 15px #000000 inset;
box-shadow: 15px 15px 15px #000000 inset;
-webkit-border-radius: 50%;
border-radius: 50%;
position: fixed;
.box-shad a {
    display:block;
    width:900px;
    height:700px;
#portfolio {
width: 100px;
height: 100px;
margin-top: 0px;
margin-right: 200px;
margin-left: 200px;
margin-bottom: 0px;
border-radius: 75%;
-webkit-border-radius: 75% 75%;
background: pink;
top: -300px;
position: relative;

The top:-300 is putting that div above the top of the browser viewport. Fix that and you'll see the div.

Design View Problems

Hello,
I have downloaded the Dreamweaver 8 and I’m in the
process of taking some online tutorials to improve my almost
non-existent skills. I must have changed something during my
careless exploration on the application. The problems I am having
all involved the design view.
1. If I create a layer in the lower part of the page it
automatically goes to the top left hand corner but when I view it
in a browser it is still exactly where I placed it in design view.
2. If I change text using a css styles it will show the
changes in the browser view but not in design view.
3. I can change the position of a layer if I change the HTML
code but I do not get a handle when I mouse over the top left
corner of the layer. When I change the layer position in the code
it still does not move from the top left corner in design view but
it does change in browser view.( I have to change the position in
the code because when I click the layer the only layer properties
that are available Class and layer)
4. Last but far from least the only page properties that are
available to me are Appearance, Title/Encoding, and Tracing Image
This is the trial version of Dreamweaver 8 and the same
downloaded trial works great on my laptop. Both machines are XP
home addition with SP2.
I have been working on the issue for about a week. (Please
don’t laugh) I have removed and reinstalled the
application...twice.
Anyhelp would be greatly appreciated

Make sure that CSS Style Rendering did not get turned off:
View > Style Rendering > Display Styles
This is a toggle menu item, so it should have a checkmark
next to it
when ON.
HTH,
Randy
> 2. If I change text using a css styles it will show the
changes in the browser

Design view problems in MX

Hi everyone,
I'm quite new to dreamweaver so I apologise if my question is
a bit stupid. I was using MX on my PC and have recently bought a
mac and got the mac version of MX. I'm now using on my mac the same
site files that I wrote on my PC. Problem is now the design view is
all messed up. When i preview the site in my browser it looks fine
but in the design view it looks completely different with the
headers all over the place. I am still able to work on the website
but i have to keep checking things in my browser rather than
accurately seeing how the page will look using the design view.
Does anyone know the reason for this? I'd really appreciate
some help.
Thanks so much!

Are you using MX or MX2004? There is a difference. MX2004 was
moderately
stupid about rendering CSS layouts, while MX was completely
imbecilic about
the same.
Maybe a good place to start would be to post a link to the
page.
And by the way, any given page should look exactly the same
in the Design
view of Mac/PC DW.

Design view problem, live view fine

I'm having a design view issue in Dreamweaver CS4. If you look at the images here:
http://www.honestcontractors.net/temp/index.html
You can see that design view (top image) cuts off the bottom CSS and the right area. But everything looks just fine in live view (lower image). Anyone have any ideas why this is going on?
Thanks!

Me too! I also have upgraded from DW8 to CS5 and have this problem and it is driving me crazy. I have run my pages through the W3C validator and they passed, so I know there is nothing wrong with my code. But the XHTML pages are all displaying flush left in Design View, and intermittently so are some of the HTML pages. They display fine in Live View, but of course, you can't do any editing in Live View. This to me disables one of the key features of Dreamweaver since it was launched by Macromedia years ago -- the ability to switch seamlessly back and forth between Code View and Design View! I've been working with it like this for several years and this has thrown a monkey wrench into my workflow and I'm really depressed. The Adobe phone tech in India was trying to tell me it was my fault! I showed him that the pages passed the W3C validator test and displays just fine in Firefox and Safari when uploaded to the server.
Meanwhile, there are other bugs the Adobe phone tech basically threw up his hands about: browser preview works with Safari but not Firefox (it just doesn't open at all, nothing happens). Also, sometimes after interacting with the server, the dialog box doesn't close on its own, so you go to open a file a minute or two later, and you are told that "Dreamweaver is currently interacting with a server." Since the dialog box is hidden, this has also been driving me nuts for the past week until I realized what the cause was.
I am SO frustrated right now. This is a very, very expensive program, and it should be working better than DW8 not lacking key features. Any other suggestions? And what's with Adobe's current phone techs? I've talked with 3 of them about this issue. The first one spoke fractured English, the second one seemed competent to a point, the third one had decent language skills but I felt as if I had better reasoning skills and knew more than he did -- and he was the one who punted and said "Must be the fault of your design," even though he could see my screens and I showed him that the design passed validation.
By the way Tech # 2 had me delete the configuration files and preferences and uninstall and reinstall DW CS5 to no avail. And I'm running the latest update of Snow Leopard on a Mac Mini purchased in November 2009.

FB3 - Flex 4 (Gumbo) SDK - Design View Problem

Hi.
I have just downloaded and installed the nightly build of
Flex 4 SDK (Build 4.0.0.4005) for use with my Flex Builder
3.0.194161. When I create the simplest of flex applications as
shown below and set the Flex compiler to use the Flex 4 SDK. When I
try to switch to design view I get the following error:
' This component is based on Application, which is not a
visual component. Switch to source mode to edit it. '
If i change the flex comiler settings to use Flex 3 SDK it
works fine. I would like to start developing for the Flex 4 SDK.
Does anyone know of a solution to this problem?
Thanks
Barry.

close all project and then close the FB and restart FB.

I have upgraded to version 7.0.1 and when viewing a file, I

Anyone know if I have an incorrect setting?
