Odd CSS issue in Design View

In either Design View or Split View (in the Design view
section), I cannot mouse select or highlight text in the main
content portion of the page. The cursor remains as the default
arrow and does not switch to the text cursor. As far as I can tell,
this is a CSS based issue (since if the CSS file is not used, the
text can be selected). This occurs in CS2 and CS3. The CSS and
XHTML validate, so I'm really confused.
The troubled area is the central content starting with the H2
heading "About Us." I know Dreamweaver can be a
little on on displaying CSS properly, but this just seemed to be
too much. Any one else seen anything this flakey? Or, does any one
else see an error in the CSS that I am missing?
The big issue with this is that the code
appears fine and displays in browsers ok, but client's will
use the Design view in Dreamweaver to update content. If they
cannot select the text then it is possible they will think the
HTML/CSS is broken. Even though designs can be done in multiple
ways, I like this solution to a 3 column fixed-width design with
header and a footer that moves down depending on body
content.

The first thing is to remove this code from your file:
<style type="text/css">
<!--
@import url("styles/styles.css");
-->
</style>
The above code isn't doing anything special when you have already defined the style sheet using this:
<link href="styles/styles.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
Once you have done it, post back again and tell us what other problems do you actually see.
The page online and your code given here aren't the same.  So check this and rectify it.

  • Still having issues with CSS fonts in design view

    I only see the following error messages when I enter design
    view for a component *other* than my main mxml component:
    unable to resolve '/ProjectName/assets/JapaneseBrush.ttf' for
    transcoding
    Unable to transcode /ProjectName/assets/JapaneseBrush.ttf.
    The resource named is the project's root directory (?), and
    it refers to line 4. (Same line as the src: url() row in the CSS
    file.)
    These errors don't show up until after I tab to the design
    view, and the font isn't used in the design view (other than this
    the CSS works fine). (Even though it works perfectly when actually
    running the Flex app.)
    I'm using an external CSS file that looks like this:
    @font-face{
    src: url("/assets/JapaneseBrush.ttf");
    fontFamily: JapaneseBrush;
    fontStyle: regular;
    I've tried actually placing the ttf file in a few different
    locations, ProjectName/assets/, ProjectName/src/assets,
    ProjectName/src, ... no change. My main mxml is in ProjectName/src.
    Anyone have an issue like this before?

    I've aleady done so before - FB-9873.
    It's not *exactly* the same problem - now the example project
    I gave from last time doesn't work at all. I've added a new comment
    to the bug report but it's currently "closed" so it has to be
    copied or re-opened or something. No time to create a new example
    from scratch this time, sorry.
    The extremely annoying aspect to this problem is that I have
    a large, complex project where the fonts work fine in design view
    (now - it wasn't when I created this thread), and I have no idea
    why. It seemed to just magically decide to work one day!
    This is a re-occuring problem that seems to come and go
    magically, and it probably needs some serious bug testing by more
    than just a developer.

  • Display issue in Design view

    :confused; I'm working in Dreamweaver 8 (Windows XP). I'm
    using the 2col_leftNav.css (tweaked somewhat) for my pages. I'm
    having some problems with the display in Design view.
    For quite some time, whenever I entered new text into a page,
    everything in the div (content > feature) shifted to the right.
    If I italicized or bolded the text, everything would shift back
    into position. If I changed it back into normal font, it stayed in
    place until I added more content. Quite annoying, but I managed.
    Something that just started (taking over the previous issue,
    with no apparent reason/causal factor): the content > feature
    div has shifted to the left, overlapping the left column
    navigation. I haven't found anything that will make things shift
    back into place. This is very hard to read, and makes working in
    design view almost impossible.
    Any idea what is going on here and what I can do about
    it?

    You forgot to post the url so we really can't say.
    This is something that presents itself ONLY in Dreamweaver.
    When I look at the file in a browser, it looks fine. When I post
    the page to the internet, it's fine. The issue is just in editing
    the page in Dreamweaver.
    However, if you'd like to see some pages where this issue
    presented itself during construction, you can see them at

  • Cannot view css styles in design view

    Is there a way to get Dreamweaver to display style in design
    view when the css files are in virtual folders?
    Have tried using ASP (Vbscript) snippet to write in the
    server URL and using Liveview, but still doesn't display. It
    appears that DW only recognizes hard coded relative links or hard
    coded full URLs.
    Browser displays these documents with no errors.
    Please Help! I have users who will be confused attempting to
    edit the documents without visible style, and need to use the
    virtual folders.
    Thanks.

    Try using Design Time Stylesheets.
    Open the Design-Time Style Sheets dialog box by doing one of
    the following:
    1. Right-click in the CSS Styles panel, and in the context
    menu select
    Design-time, or
    2. Select Text > CSS Styles > Design-time.

  • Link to CSS problem (in Design View)

    Hello Dreamweaver experts,
    In the Design View Dreamweaver CS3 is not picking up the
    styles specified in a linked stylesheet. Let me explain...
    I am using an application in our office that relies upon HTML
    (but does not use a standard web browser).
    I need to refer to linked stylesheets using a variable like
    so;
    [example #1]
    <link href="{FILES_DIR}/path/css/stylesheet.css"
    rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
    The use of the variable construction "{FILES_DIR}" eliminates
    the need to hard code a drive letter into the link which is
    preferrable. Without "{FILES_DIR}" I have to hard-code the drive
    letter like so;
    [example #2]
    <link
    href="file:///K|/additional-path-details/path/css/stylesheet.css"
    rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" -->
    Both examples above yield the same result in the application
    (the stylesheet is found and its styles properly applied).
    However, only with example #2 does Dreamweaver's "design
    view" pick up and apply the stylesheet. Dreamweaver cannot find the
    stylesheet or apply its styles using example #1.
    My question is how can I make Dreamweaver understand and
    apply what "{FILES_DIR}" means.
    Any tips, tricks or pointers would be most welcome...

    Did you look into "design-time" styles sheets? That may solve
    your problem.
    It won't take care of the path in the document though...

  • CS3 Templates - css disappears in design view

    In DW CS3, I've noticed that after I've been working with
    templates for a while, often with several templates open
    simultaneously, the style rendering suddenly disappears in design
    view, and I see only the unformatted text on the screen. If I close
    DW and restart, the pages render correctly, but after 15 min. or
    so, the style problem returns. Anyone else run into this?

    Wait - is this about FLASH or CSS? (see your subject line).
    Anyhow - the solution posted here 3 or 4 times a day would be
    to make the
    links to the Flash in the Template page be ROOT relative

    this -

  • CS3 loses css formatting in design view for non-templated pages

    We recently upgraded to CS3. All of the pages on our site are
    templated except the home page. The home page, when viewed in
    design view in Dreamweaver, looks as if the css styles are missing.
    Sometimes refreshing the view causes some of them to appear, but
    not all. This didn't happen in the old version. And it's not
    happening (so far) on our templated pages. Any ideas?

    DW6x was not the sharpest knife in the drawer and would
    tolerate lots of
    things that DWCS3 will not.
    I suggest you do the following -
    * Change your doctype from this one (inserted by DMX6x, and
    broken) -
    <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01
    Transitional//EN">
    to this one (valid and complete - the way DMX6x *should* have
    done it) -
    <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01
    Transitional//EN"
    http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
    Now your page will render in Standards mode, and not quirks
    mode (a very bad
    thing).
    * Change this (in your stylesheet) -
    vertical-align: top;
    end FedFAQ
    /* ********************** COLLAPSE/EXPAND MENUS
    to this -
    vertical-align: top;
    /* end FedFAQ */
    /* ********************** COLLAPSE/EXPAND MENUS
    I am sure that by doing this you will see a remarkable change
    in your
    page....

  • CSS Flyouts in Design View

    Hi,
    I'm currently developing an intranet site with a CSS flyout
    navigation bar on the left side of the page that comes in via an
    SSI in a Dreamweaver template. The flyouts render fine in Firefox
    or IE 6, but they don't render in Dreamweaver's Design View.
    Instead, the flyouts show up as stati gaps between the toplevel
    menu items, and hover events have no effect. I don't know if this
    is possible, but it would be great to be able to turn hover events
    on in Design view (at least for CSS) so that I can assess the
    actual look and feel as I'm editing a site without having to check
    it in a browser every few minutes.
    Does anyone know if it is possible?
    Thanks in advance,
    Greg

    The first thing is to remove this code from your file:
    <style type="text/css">

  • How to view semantic css based layouts in design view in dreamweaver?

    Hi all,
    I havent had a lot to do with CSS based layouts (tables have alwasy just worked for me fine) but I am wondering how do I view the semantic/css based layout in design view in Dreamweaver?
    As when I write the code, in design view its not showing me what the page will look like, I have to click on "Live View" to see what the page actually looks like.
    I guess I am asking is there a way to using WYSIWYG on css layouts in design view??? Just like I do table layouts (In design view I can grab the edge of the table and resize etc)?
    Any help would be great

    Lou yeah I don't think the term WYSIWYG really applys to dreamweaver anymore when building CSS layouts.
    The term "WYSIWYG" never applied to DW.  It was never such a thing, nor was any other HTML authoring, no matter what the marketing hype said.  It's not possible to deliver wysiwyg layouts when there are so many different browsers/platforms/versions to worry about.  This is particularly true when you go back to the era when WYSIWYG was actively used (but not with DW, which was not advertised in such a way) - Netscape 4, and IE5/Mac would alone be enough to destroy any layout....
    The view you are getting in Design view is happening because your CSS is misplaced BELOW the <body> tag - it should be in the head of the page (i.e., above </head>). Your CSS should never be placed within the body of the page.

  • Design view not showing true design

    I'm using Dreamweaver CS3, and have an issue with design
    view.
    I was editing the content of a page in design view, applying
    styles from my main.css, when the page I was working on suddenly
    lost all its styles, including heading & paragraph styles, and
    placement of most div tags.
    My header and the div tags inside that are still visible, as
    is the side navigation, although the background image for the side
    navigation is not. It seems to be all my editable regions that have
    decided not to show correctly.
    I've checked other pages and templates based on the main.css,
    and they all appear to have the same problem.
    The good news:
    1. The CSS Styles inspector on each page shows it is attached
    to the main.css, but lists only three styles under that style
    sheet, all of which are named 'td img'.
    2. The main.css itself looks fine. All my styles are still
    there.
    3. When I preview my site in a browser, it looks as it
    should, so presumably it IS still attached to the style sheet, it's
    just not showing properly when I'm working on it.
    Any clues as to what's going on?
    As I'm sure everyone says, this is kind of urgent, so any
    help anyone can offer will be very gratefully received!
    Thanks in advance for any help you can offer!
    EDIT: I've been playing around with previewing the site in a
    browser again, and have encountered another issue, which may be
    related. I can preview a preliminary page, but all my links take me
    to a 'this page cannot be found' error message. I was pretty sure
    it wasn't doing this when I first encountered the problem with
    design view, but I could be mistaken. Has something happened to the
    internal links on my site, perhaps?

    In the View menu go to Style Rendering. Make sure Display
    Styles is checked.

  • 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

  • Design View Problem

    I am having an issue in Design View for DW 8.
    http://www.sports-cals.com    is the live site.
    When I am working locally in design view it looks like this (index page):
    No background at all.   Im sure its a simple setting but i cant find it for the life of me.  Any thoughts?

    Hi Murray, Thanks for your response! 
    Yes....missing everyhting.  I did not make this site, no.  We had a friend do it. 
    Question I have now is I had been working on this at my work PC, same DW version, but just got laid off so I pulled it down here at home and saw this.   As it was fine on my work, i thought it was a simple setting here.
    I had another friend look at it and his response was:  "It’s a code thing. Because the path is listed as “/sportscals.css” it doesn’t  connect the dots properly in the structure. Delete the “/” and it will pull  locally, but then wouldn’t work on the live site. Coding issue."
    So sounds like you guys agree.  Is it an easy fix for someone with some knowledge of this?

  • How to correct design view?

    I got a strange problem in Design View:  I set up Foundation 3. Works fine, shows exactly as it should be in a browser preview. But it shows horrible in design. Normally I work in the split view. Code on top, design below. Right now I might as well work with Notepad only.
    It is possible it's a border problem, I had that in the past. Removing the border on a div solved the issue. But I can't do that here, because that is the very basis on which Foundation 3 works.
    How do I correct this?

    Perhaps CS7 will be on a par with modern browsers. CS6 is still about as
    good as a 5 year old browser - sometimes. If you are using fairly
    complex CSS, I would simply turn off CSS rendering in Design View so you
    can edit content and rely on Live View (fairly good in CS6) or a real
    browser preview to check your page.

  • Can't see design view after changing connections file from localhost to a remote host & back again

    I was using localhost to test files before changing the connections document over to a remote host, since I couldn't get dreamweaver to connect to the remote host, I changed back to localhot. My files are all .php files. This is a dynamic site. After I changed my connection back to my local host my design view no longer works. It's competly grey with 3 small icons at the top on the left. I can view in live view and I can view in the browser. But no longer in design view after being able to for 6 months. The 3 icons are a hard drive case, a document, and a link symbol . When I click in code view the design view turns grey when I click in design view it turns white. I am using wamp for the localhost, Windows XP home, Dreamweaver CS5. Can someone please tell me how to go back to design view. This happens with any & all files including non dynamic .html files. Also having a problem connecting to my remote host. using godaddy, and they have tried with me for 2 hours to connect, I just keep getting password is incorrect. Thank you for any help, Stacey

    I would also recommend clearing the Site cache, which may help with the connection failure. To do so, choose Site > Advanced > Recreate Site Cache.
    After doing so, be sure to go back into your Site Setup, and make sure the FTP address, user name, and password are all correct. (Click the Test button in there to verify.)
    If that doesn't help with getting connected to your server, you might try an alternate FTP client (e.g. FileZilla) to just make sure you are entering the right connection information. It could be that GoDaddy is having some issue, or maybe you just mistyped something (I know I do this often when I type too fast).
    As for the issue with Design View, try clearing the Dreamweaver cache. Instructions are here: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/494811
    You might also try toggling the location of Design View. That is, when in Split View, choose View > Design View On Left. Then, choose that menu option again to reset the location back to the right.
    Resetting the workspace might also be recommended. Window > Worksapce Layout > Reset 'name of current workspace'
