No Content in Design View

Hello Everyone,
This is my first time creating a manual using Robohelp 7. I'm
unable to view content in a topic that has "DHTML" feature in the
Design View. I'm able to see perfectly fine (all content) when in
the preview mode. I noticed this issue after I closed out and open
the project. Are you experiencing this problem at all? Please let
me know what's the best way to fix this issue.
Thank in advance for your help.

Hi there
RoboHelp (Insert version here) has always seemed to have that
issue. You will be working along and whoosh. The topic refuses to
display in the editor.
Normally closing and restarting RoboHelp changes that where
it works again.
Cheers... Rick

How to hide content in design view within Dreamweaver?

How can I hide content in design view within Dreamweaver?
I have a tabbed content menu that uses some javascript. Everything looks great in Live view, but when I go to design view, all the content goes way beyond the div. How can I make it to where I can hide the content in that div in design view or wrap it completely inside of there? It's really hard to explain which is why I provided some pictures!
LIVE VIEW
DESIGN VIEW
Thank you in advance for all the help!
Dalton

Humm....... you want to hide it in Design View whilst working on the rest of the site?
If that is the case set the menu container <div> to display: none; -
<div id="menu" style="display: none;">This is the content menu</div>
Then either set it to display: block; when you're ready to view it live or remove the style completely.

Path issue leaving me unable to add blog post content in design view

Hi guys,
I am unable to add blog post content in design view when a template is applied to my blog. BC support have told me they fixed the problem by making minor changes to the paths of the css and javascript files and then told me to post on here for the solution.
When I call the files using <link rel="stylesheet" href="/css/custom.css" /> everything displays perfectly but in BC I can't add blog post content in design view. I can edit in html but this isn't ideal for clients to update the blog.
If I change the paths to <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/custom.css" /> it fixes the problem and I can then edit blog content in design view but all blog pages that are in folders display incorrectly. Only the main blog page display properly.
I'm sure the answer is simple but I can't find it so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Pete

I took a look at your page URL and can't find any CSS issues or styles that would directly affect you editing/adding content to a blog post via the content editor.
Make sure you either clear your cache or try in another browser to see if the problem is localized to your current browser.
If you still have the problem can you link me to a screencast (you can use Jing if you don't have a screencast program: http://www.techsmith.com/jing.html) of what you are experiencing?

How do I view content in Design view once everything is grayed out?

I was building a web site. When I switched from horizontal view to vertical view I was no longer able to view content in design view. The entire page was grayed out. I'm also not able to view content in design view in other web sites too. How do I fix it?

Well, yes the rest of the phone works, but the sole reason I got it was to able to view these files. I had a Blackberry and I wanted a bigger screen. Work allowed me to choose the iPhone or the latest Galaxy phone. I chose the iPhone because I was told "it just works".
I know the Galaxy reads the .txt files because coworkers have it. If the iPhone wont allow me to read the file then it doesn't matter if "it just works" because it can't do what I need it to do.

Unable to view page content in Design View

I cannot see the content of a page made from a template in normal Design view.
I am able to see the content in Live View mode, but cannot make changes in that view. I can only make changes in code view.
My client would like to make changes to content text in Design view only.
Why am I unable to see/edit in Design view?
Two screencaps and the page code are here:

I am using CS4 DW on Macbook Pro, Leopard.
The template is based on the standard included thrColAbsHdr layout template provided with DW.
Thank you for help.

There are two questions for the Spry Menu 2 version.
1) Do I have to make all menu title and link changes in code? With the regular Spry menu that comes with DW CS5 you can make the changes, and add links to menu items, in the "Design > Properties" window. I would sure like to be able to do that, rather than go to the strictly "code" view and work in there.
2) With the Spry 2 menu at the top ( see www.Aloe-Vera.org/test.htm ) I am unable to go into "Design" view for the page to make changes in the content of the page itself.
Are there any fixes so that I can view and edit the rest of the page in DW CS5 "Design" view?
Thanks, David
1. It is true you cannot use the Properties window. You can use the code view or the Widget Browser to make edits. The Widget Browser has a GUI if you feel more comfortable with that.
2. You should be able to make some changes in Design View, but unfortunately the GUI and clean layout in Design View is gone. Best suggestion I can give you here is to file a bug report/feature request: https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform . I have before with this because I agree it helps newer users and compared to commercial alternatives like those from Project Seven it falls short everytime.

Unable to view Content in Design View

Hello Everyone,
This is my 1st time creating a manual using Robohelp version
7. For some odd reason, in both of the "Topic List" and "Project
Manager" pod. I'm unable to view content in a topic that has
"DHTML" feature in the Design View. I'm able to see perfectly fine
(all content) when in the preview mode. I noticed this issue after
I closed out and open the project. Are you experiencing this
problem at all? Please let me know what's the best way to fix this
issue.
Thank in advance for your help.

Page content not viewable in Design View

I am in the process of creating a site and am using a
template for the basis of the pages. All of the pages so far are
working fine, however, when I pasted the nested table into this
page
Sage
Concerts, I was able to edit the content in Design view,
changing the font size, color, etc. After saving the page and
closing it I now can only see the actual content of the page when I
am in Code View. No matter where I click in Design view it's like
I'm trying to access a non-editable region. Not being able to see
the content in design view makes it hard (for me at least) to edit
the page. Any thoughts on why this is happening and how to fix it?
I know it's probably an easy fix but it's driving me nuts... thanks
for your help :)

That's usually an indication of invalid html, which is the
case here:

Cannot See Content in Editable Region in Design View

A have a couple of pages with content in an editable region of a template. I needed to apply another template to some of the pages things were going along fine. Then I came across a page, went to modify > templates > apply template to page and then selected my new template. I now cannot see my content in the design view. I can see the code for my content in the code view. I can see the content when I publish the page and view it in my browser. I can even see the content when I open the page to edit in Contribute.
Why in the world can I not see my content in design view? I've tried a few other pages and they are now having this problem as well. I like to work in split screen view and it makes it kind of difficult if I can't see the design view.

Found it! Started looking at the code to provide it and noticed an extraneous </tr> and </td>. Removed and it was fixed! Simple! Guess I should have looked a little harder before running to the forum!
Thanks for the assist!

Design View Nonworkable - Fine in Browsers and Validation

Hi!
I have year old sites and new sites using CSS and server side
includes (both php and asp) that are nonworkable in design view in
Dreamweaver CS3. Sites were fine in Macromedia 8 but not now. My
very old sites are fine - they are straight HTML sites.
I have read several past posts on this problem and ruled out
many of the solutions for my case. My pages are clean in WC3
validation (meaning no errors) - since this is what Adobe
Dreamweaver support was concerned about when I took out an support
incident with them. The sites display fine in 6 browsers, but not
in DW CS3 now that I upgraded. This makes no sense.
I see some answers that CS3 is not as tolerant as before of
bad coding. This is not the issue, it is validated and displaying
across browsers fine.
I and my staff are crippled working on these sites now that
we have all upgraded to CS3 with the way they are displaying.
Here are some pages that I am having problems with:
http://www.scandpg.org/meeting_event.php
http://www.eatrightny.org/about/about_site.php
http://www.eatrightmissouri.org/jobs/index.asp
(site workign on now, not live)
http://www.hada.com/about/board.asp
I have found if I uncheck server side includes in preferences
for invisible elements I can work on the content better, but this
is a workaround but does not resolve the fact that DW is not
displaying coding in view correctly and still leaves some issues
when developing a site.
Thanks for your help in shedding light on this as I may be
off. My conclusions are drawn from a support incident/ticket with
Adobe on this very same thing, looking at the DW forum postings
over the last six months on this and my own recent experiences.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Healthy regards,
Teresa

If you want to work in DW, then you must adopt this approach
to the use of
server-side includes:
> The parent file is the ONLY one that can contain
<html>, <head>, or <body>
> tags.
> The include files cannot contain those tags.
> The final assembled page must therefore only contain one
instance of each
> with its associated closing tag.
That seems to be your largest problem.

Layers in design view

Hi
If I place a layer with content in design view and click
elsewhere on the
screen it disappears, yet when viewing in IE the layers are
shown
Is this correct? or should I be able to see the layers in
design view?
thanks
Ian

The link doesn't work for me, Ian.

Design View major problem

Suddenly, all html pages look as if there is absolutely no
content in design view. If I switch to code view, everything is
still there. Preview in a browser, everything looks just fine. Try
it on a different computer, everything is cool. What in the world
happened? I tried running Disk Utility, rebooting, downloading all
Adobe updates for all Adobe products. WEIRD and frustrating.
Mac OS 10.4.11
2 x 2.66 GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon
10 GB RAM
Thanks in advance

but I was working in Flash and when I clicked
> back over to Dreamweaver the problem started. I tried
opening lots of pages
> from many different web sites I have locally. No page on
any site will display
> in design view.
have you restarted dw?
restarted the box?

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...

Design view (CS3) is completely highlighted - can't edit content

On one of the websites I have developed, when I go to Design view and click on the content I want to revise, all content and photos are highlighted, so I can't just edit one word or sentence. I have to go to Code view and search for that content in order to change it, meaning I don't have the ease of adding links in the Design view, etc. One of the web pages with this problem is: http://www.greenkarat.com/TEST_NEW/about/education.asp, which validates. The CSS is http://www.greenkarat.com/TEST_NEW/css/greenkarat.css, which also validates. Below is a screen print of the design view that doesn't allow me to edit. How can I clear this up? Thank you. P.S. If I "temporarily" remove one of the closing div tags - </div>, I can then edit in the Design view, but I need to add the div tag back in before I upload the file to the server. If the div tag is not added back in, the page does not validate

http://www.greenkarat.com/TEST_NEW/about/education.asp is a dead link (404 error).
Can you re-upload so we can see the page?

JDeveloper 10.1.3.2.0 - How to see content of showDetailItem in Design View

Hello,
I am new to use the JDeveloper to create JSF Applications and I learn with the tutorials.
So I have a question:
I want to find out: How to see the content of the second or third showOneTab component in the WYSIWYG Design View of a page.jspx?
For example, I am orientating the tutorial: "Introduction to ADF Faces/Trinidad Using JDeveloper" (http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/obe1013jdev/10131/trinidad/adf_faces_trinidad.htm)
Page: table.jspx
There is the showOneTab "Single Row Select" and "Multi Row Select" and I see only the content of "Single Row Select".
How can I see the content the table2 of "Multi Row Select".
I have created the table of "Single Row Select" and can see only this one.
The download of that example show me in the View of structur the component table2, but not in DesignView.
Can you help me?
best regards
Joachim

Hello Frank,
many thanks for your answer. It try it and it works!
For completion, I think the argument "disclosed" of the component "af:ShowDetailItem" with "default" setting is "false".
So if I will editing one tab in WYSIWYG editor, I set only this tab disclosed = true.
All others to "false". When my edit is completed, I set only the first tab to "true" and all other "false", because I want to start with the first tab by first request.
I look again into the "help". Hopefull in answer:
Which effect has this argument by deployment?
There is only the desciption: "whether or not to disclose the children This attribute is not supported on the following agent types: pda, phone, voice."
I think this is for me irrelevant. My application have to support only a client like a personal computer.
Which effect has this argument by deployment?
Or is this only for the WYSIWYG editor?

Page Content Won't Display in Contribute (Edit Mode) or Dreamweaver (Design View)

I have pages on my site that have decided they don't want to display content either in Contribute (in edit
mode) or in DreamWeaver (in design view). They always look fine in Live view, prior to hitting the 'edit' button or when viewing in a browser. Using CS4 on Windows XP. I use Contribute for small edits and this renders that tool useless as there is no WYSIWYG. It's a pain in Dreamweaver to have to keep previewing in browser when I'm used to working in code/design view. Any help most appreciated. Here's the page I'm currently having the problem with:
http://www.pacaero.com/products/interconnect-medical.htm

That's odd because here's what I see ...

No Content in Design View
