Old CSS layout in new Dreamweaver 8

I created a site with CSS layout in Dreamweaver MX. I defined
the main page area with a div ID and then added other smaller div
ID stacked on top with higher z indexes. This all worked fine in
MX, but when I opened the site with Dreamweaver 8, I could not edit
the content sections of the pages. I get a international no symbol
and a box defining the larger page area. I assume that if I could
select other areas, I could edit them. I tried selecting a layer,
but there are no layers in the layers pallet. Originally I just
hand coded the various div ids.
I hope I'm just missing something simple. What am I doing
wrong?
Thank you for the help!

> How do you recommend doing the layout if not in layers?
It's not necessary to use any absolute positioned elements on
a page like
that. I would do it with stacked containers, some floated
into position,
some margined into position, and all just placed on the page
by the normal
flow of the code from top to botton. To read about what I
mean, go here -

CSS Layout Viewing in Dreamweaver

I am using DW CS3 for the first time tonight and upon opening
existing CSS based sites, the design view doesn't read the
positioning elements for the pages. My previous version of DW (8)
showed the site exactly as it was supposed to look, but with CS3, I
am having to preview the site to see the positioning. Am I missing
a preference here or something?

I've used Firebug as well as the Webkit developer tools in Chrome and Safari which have surpassed Firebug in my opinion. But they all suffer from the fact that the changes you make in them have to later be applied to your code which means you have to take the extra steps of trying to remember what all changes you made in Firebug and copying and pasting them back into your files. Whereas in Dreamweaver you can Inspect, make changes directly to the code in your file, and you're done. Not happy with the last few changes? Undo. Want to start completely over? File > Revert.
Dreamweaver has excellent tools for determining what css is being applied to an element and by what means. And it's a more streamlined and direct workflow where you work directly in your code. I still use Firebug and the others from time to time though. But only for very basic "spur of the moment" testing. And usually only when I don't have immediate access to the raw files.

How to create new pre-designed CSS layouts in DW CS4?

Since I'm a relative newcomer to Dreamweaver and CSS, I normally begin my new pages with one of Dreamweaver CS4's pre-designed CSS layouts in the Blank Page HTML section - 2 column fixed left sidebar, 1 column elastic centered, 3 column fixed header and footer, etc.
Lately I'm expanding to some more elaborate layouts and I'll like to be able to create new pre-designed CSS layouts of my own to add to this list. So I have a couple of questions:
1) What types of files are these layouts? They all seem to have an accompanying style sheet in addition to having a page template. What I'm getting at is, if I were to revise one of these, how would I save my revised version so that it would show up in this list of pre-designed layouts in the future?
2) Related to the first question, where are these pre-designed CSS layouts stored within Dreamweaver's file and folder structure? I can't seem to find them anywhere.
I appreciate your input on this.

Adobe scrapped the old Starter pages. Many things have changed since they were first introduced.

Hi..............I have a new Creative Cloud registration and have bought the new Dreamweaver CC but I cannot seem to down load it? My Creative Cloud has downloaded but not my new Dreamweaver CC? I currently have the old Dreamweaver CS4 on my system! Can anyone help?

The first thing you need to do is download and install the Creative Cloud Desktop Application. Then, open that program and click on the Apps tab. You download and install creative cloud applications from there.
If your computer doesn't meet the minimum requirements to run a given program, it won't show up under the Apps tab.
Once they are installed, you'll need to go to your Applications folder (Mac) or Program Files (x86) folder (PC) to start the program itself.

Copying CSS rules to new page

Is it possible to copy all my CSS modifications from a preset, two column liquid header and footer layout, to a preset, two column static header and footer layout so I don't have to redo all the rules on the new page?
Thanks,
scriptmemory

Salut,
it's a bit hard to say what changes you need without seeing the page. But if the CSS is in the head of the page, then you should save the old page as the new page, then only change the CSS that makes the columns liquid to fixed px sizes.

Design view of CSS layout is innacurate

Hello all -
I'm beginning to redraft my company's hompage using a full
CSS layout instead of our current nested table layout. Since I need
to ensure that other staff members can edit pages freely - and I'm
the only person comfortable doing straight code - it's important
that the design view is as accurate as possible.
When editing in Dreamweaver 8, my three column layout (a left
table of contents, a center content column, and an additional
content right column) breaks so that the table of contents
dissapears. Some people have spoken with have suggested that my
problem might be the negative margins I'm using to position the
floated columns that form the meat of the page.
You can view the page here:
http://www.southernenvironment.org/test/home_redraft.html
The CSS is here:
http://www.southernenvironment.org/test/style_redraft.css
In addition, the header navbar also appears strangely. In
Design View, two word titles (ie. "Our Programs") break on to two
separate lines, instead of staying in one line as they do in
browsers I've tested.
The frustrating thing about this is that my design seems to
work in most browsers - but without a somewhat accurate
representation in Dreamweaver, I won't be able to sell the idea of
a standards-based revamp to other staff here.
Any ideas?
Matt

Your CSS is not tight enough to get accurate columns. You
shouldn't try to
define the columns with the body tag. For a purely CSS site,
you really find
out why the code is called 'cascading' styles. They cascade
all right. We've
just finished wrestling with a similar re-design with CSS and
the order of
how tags and files come into play is very important.
We have defined the body tag with background color, 0 margins
and font
family, color and size only. Header/footer and columns are
defined by ID.
The three "content" columns are within a page container,
header and footer
outside the page container. How these elements are placed is
important, as
they cascade.
We use 3 linked main css files, 1) Page Layout (3 or 4
different options) 2)
Page presentation (all text styles) 3) Page menu styles (only
menu styles).
They are in that order, as the only body tag is in Page
Layout.
If a page has a watermarked background we import the code
just for the
watermark.
This is not true for the home page, but all other pages in
the site.

I hope this helps.

CSS Layout Nightmare!

OK, I've recently decided to convert from table based layout to div layouts using CSS. I'm pretty proud of the outcome and found it a nice approach to designing. HOWEVER, when i click to edit pages in contribute, it strips out all of the css outline visual aids (like you see in wysiwig editors like Dreamweaver). This is going to be a major problem for my client and wysiwig style editing. Does anybody know how i can get contribute to display this in edit mode and also the best option for my client to select divs in order to copy and paste content. This would be pretty easy in table based layout as contribute lets you select a table and copy and paste it. Ideal way for my client to copy and paste additional news items same format. Any help would be gratefully appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Not.

CSS layout box model?

Hi, I'm using Dreamweaver cs4. I downloaded a diablo 3
fansite kit from blizzard, and was looking at their code &
style sheets and such for reference while learning to use DIV to
layout new websites. I pretty much have the same DIV box going for
all the content in the middle. But when i click on their DIV box,
it shows margin on the left and the right, and while in design
view, automatically centers their DIV box.
I created a page, setup a div box 1000px wide, centered it,
and it does not give me a preview of it centered while in design
view, nor does it show me the margins & padding (displays
diagonal white transparant stripes where the padding & margins
goes). i made sure i clicked the "CSS Layout Box Model" in the
visual aid menu, but it does not want to work on my page, yet i can
turn it on and off on the fan site index page. How do i make it
work on my page?
Thx

Which page? Can we see the other one too?

Well, you're not using position:absolute, so you've got a big thumbs up from a bunch of us for that.
Is there any chance you could post a link to this page on your server? It's much easier to troubleshoot from a browser than it is to rebuild the page from code fragments.
If you haven't gone live with the page yet, create a folder called TEST in your site and save copies of the page and css there. Upload TEST and post a link to it here. Once the problem is found/fixed, delete TEST from the server.
You can also attempt to use Firefox or Chrome to find your issue by right clicking > Inspect Element. All CSS that affects a given element will be displayed with file name and line numbers there.

Creating from scratch, a css layout for my website

I am building a website from scratch and I would like to use CSS. I am conceptualizing the design, however, I am struggling with designing it and working with the div tags. I would like to have two sidebars, one on each side, and for them to be tri-colored, which means I have to create three small boxes and align them closely together, each a different color (the colors are part of the theme to my website). Of course the links on the sidebars would be white, and then change colors when hovered over or clicked on. I would like to have a header and a footer, with the header containing my logo and if and only if I can get real fancy; a scrolling message. My footer would contain additional links such as 'additional links', and 'contact us' and all the necessary copywrite info. Please let me know, if first, my conception of this layout makes sense, and if so, what tutorial you could recommend for me to view that would assist in my web site development.
Thank you, all you great tech minds out there!

I'm with Murray. I don't think you should concern yourself with HTML5 and CSS3 yet.
Stick with XHTML and CSS2. When I was learning to work with CSS positioning, it was immensely helpful to use a pre-built layout.   And I learned a great deal from looking at source code.
Look at the DW Starter pages described below:
     Dreamweaver CSS Templates for beginners
     http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/dreamweaver_custom_templates.html
     New DW Starter Pages --
     http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/introducing_new_css_layouts.html
If you have some money to spend, Project Seven has some excellent CSS Templates. If you plan to do more projects, CSS Layout Magic is a nice extension for prototyping inside DW.

Slideshow in CSS layout

I'm struggling to build a simple slideshow into a website I'm
in the process of developing. I'm working in Dreamweaver MX and
have a CSS layout (
hwaters.com/clients/usfws/prototype/index.htm).
The slideshows will have images with captions and will be
controlled by users clicking on "forward" and "back" buttons.
No Flash or PHP, just javascript would be ideal. I tried
using Eric Meyer's S5 slideshow
meyerweb.com/eric/tools/s5/)
but it apparently won't function unless the slides are absolutely
positioned, which won't work with my layout (not as far as I can
see, anyhow).
If anybody can point me in the right direction (a tutorial
would be ideal) of a simple slideshow that would work within my
existing layout, I'd be forever grateful.
Thanks.

There is a great slideshow extension at PVII -
http://www.projectseven.com/
(commercial) - called ImageGallery Magic.
I have used it here -
