Does the page show correctly in a browser?
Dreamweaver design view is not very reliable at renedering designs exactly the way you want them to look, especailly if you use more of the complex and up-to-date css, now available. Dreamweaver is always playing catch-up in that area.

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.

Floated element breaks Design view in Dreamweaver CS3

I've tried searching for this issue but haven't found a fix yet and could use some help.
I am redesigning a site and am adding a fluid box to the page. This floated element breaks Design View in Dreamweaver CS3 but appears correctly in the Firefox, Chrome, and IE. I can get the element to appear correctly in Design View after I make minor changes to the page's HTML or CSS, however it always breaks when I save the file.
I've tried many work-arounds including adding an absoutely defined container div, altering the various div sizes, adding <div class="clear"> before and after the element, to no avail.
Ideally, I would like to have page appear correctly in Design View so that others in my lab can easily update the page (and not come to me with repeated questions!).
I've included screen prints of how it looks in Design View and how it look in Chrome.
THANKS! J
Design Time error:
Web Browser - correct view:

I'll try CS4; however my main reason for finding a fix is so that others updating the page (w/ CS3) will be able to do so w/ the WYSIWYG editor that we purchased. We will not be upgrading to CS4 anytime soon either.
Thanks

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 in Dreamweaver CC (update Oct. 2014)

Design view in Dreamweaver CC (update Oct. 2014) shows renders fonts and elements as huge making it impossible to work in that view. In live view it goes down to normal. And is there a way to switch of the blue tag inspector wrapping around the elements in focus? It's driving me nuts!
What am I doing wrong, or is there a setting I'm unaware of?

I have a sneaking suspicion that the "fix" is going to be the complete removal of Design View and a much more robust implementation of a Live View editor. I don't have anything to back that up, it's just the vibe I get from the direction DW seems to be taking.
If there is a single web design/editor/developer application that even comes close to the features and power of Dreamweaver, I have yet to find it. And I test everyone I come across. Dw truly is the last great web design powerhouse. One of the main features that makes it so powerful, is its rich WYSIWYG editor for producing and managing large sites with tons of content - otherwise known as the inappropriately named Design View.
As design surfaces go, apps like Macaw, Webflow, and Reflow nailed it. They're brilliant when it comes to prototyping designs and building & styling structures. Dreamweaver just can't compete with those types of visual workflows. Live View is barely a design surface at all, and its workflows are preposterous. That may change over time. Live View might be useful someday for prototyping designs and building & styling structures, but I would be very surprised if Live View's design surface ever... ever... ever becomes a useful content production and management surface.
If Adobe allows - or forces - the Dw team to remove Design View, leaving us without a decent WYSIWYG editor, then where does that leave web designers like myself who produce and manage corporate sites with lots of content? - It's a rhetorical question.

Corrupt design view in Dreamweaver 2014

Is there a solution for the corrupt design view in Dreamweaver 2014. Adobe continues to fix this and it has not changed. My pages are all distorted and the elements/divs are all over the place. It is perfect in live view.
PLEASE...does anyone have a solution,
Thanks,
Kathy

Kathy,
Design view in Dreamweaver has always been very problematic, it amazes me that it has been OK for you in the past.
With DWCC14, live view has greatly improved and it will not surprise me if Adobe decide to drop Design view in future releases.
To answer your question, in DWCC14, I would not use design view at all. You can now use Live view where you could not use it in previous versions of DW.

Code works with Dreamweaver CS6 and not with CC

<p><a href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="window.open('http://www.anything.comt', '', 'top=20,left=20,toolbar=0,statusbar=1,scrollbars=1,resizable=1')" title="title">name</a></p> works with Dreamweaver CS6 and not with CC
[Edited Title and moved to Dreamweaver- JTS]

I'm not quite sure I understand your point.
I have just tested the Open Browser Window behavior in Dreamweaver CC. It creates slightly different code from Dreamweaver CS6, but it works correctly. This is what is created in the HTML:
<p>my <a href="#" onClick="MM_openBrWindow('http://www.adobe.com/','mywindow','toolbar=yes,location=yes,status=yes,menubar=yes,scrollb ars=yes,resizable=yes')">link</a>
</p>
Dreamweaver CC also adds the following code to the <head> of the page:
<script type="text/javascript">
function MM_openBrWindow(theURL,winName,features) { //v2.0
window.open(theURL,winName,features);
</script>
The definition of the MM_openBrWindow() function is needed in the <head> for the code to work. But it definitely works OK.
With regard to _self and _blank not working, I can't find any problem with the way Dreamweaver CC handles them.
However, if you feel happier working with Dreamweaver CS6, you can download it from the following page:
https://creative.adobe.com/products/dreamweaver
Open the drop-down menu under "In this version", and select Dreamweaver CS6 as shown in the following screenshot:
With Dreamweaver CS6 selected, click the large Download button at the top-right of the page. You can then download CS6, and install it alongside Dreamweaver CC.

Dreamweaver CS6 do not launch

Hi guys
I need help!
My Dreamweaver CS6 do not launch.
It bounces and nothing happens.
I have tried everything and it is still not working!
I have the Adobe CS6 Master Collection.
All other programs work just fine!
My specs:
iMac 21,5 - late 2012
OSX 10.8.3
3,1GHz Intel Core i7
What I've tried:
1] Changed the permissions on the program it self, made sure it's set to "read & write" for the users
2] Unstinalled and re-installed Dreamweaver CS6 - with the Administrator account
3] Unstinalled and re-installed Dreamweaver CS6 - with the Root User account
Step by step:
I have (for both Administrator and Root User) done the above in the following steps:
1] Repair disk permissons [Still not working]
2] Unistall Dremweaver
3] Re-boot
4] Repair disk permissions
5] Re-boot
6] Re-install Dreamwever
7] Re-boot
8] Launch Dreamweaver
- and still, just bounces and disappears, not working!
I am now totaly out of ideas on what to do!
My old CS5.5 worked without a glitch!
Help Please!
Note: It has worked just fine before.

Hi David
Yes, CS5.5 did work before, but doesn't anymore.
The thing is that CS6 did work and I installed it in December (or maybe possibly january). And it's the upgrade version from 5.5 if that would make any difference?
All I have done is to create 5 simple HTML pages for a friend and their band, nothing fancy.
I haven't set up a site or anything, no FTP stuff and so on. I haven't really had the time to use CS6.
The other day i decided to start creating my new, much over due, update of my old site.
And I really want and need to use the new features of CS6, like the ability to easiely set up for different devices (I am an old HTML 4 CSS guy and are reading upp on HTML5 and CSS3).
That's when i discovered that CS6 did no longer work and here I am :-)
I have been using Photoshop and Dreamweaver for as longs as I can remember so I know there's nothing wrong with the product, it was a comment out of dispare
Hi Preran
Not a problem with the time. I appreciate all the help I can get :-)
As long as it ends up with me working in CS6 again.
I am currently restoring the MAC from a Time Machine copy from early january, if that doesn't work (and you guys can't come up with a nifty solution) I will have to restore the iMAC to it's original state.
Thank you all for your support and help!!

Dreamweaver cs6 does not update links when moving files.

Dreamweaver cs6 does not update links when moving files. I've tried changing my general > settings for "Update links when moving files" to "prompt", and Ive tried "always". Neither work for me. The files are moved fine, but the links don't change. When it's set to "prompt" - I'm never prompted. Is this a bug or is there another setting somewhere?

I haven't define a site. I've opened an index.htm file within a folder structure that I have on my MAC. When I moved a file called art.htm (within the files tab) from a subfolder into the root folder with the index.htm file, it didn't update the image links in art.htm.
In order for DW to manage links, you absolutely MUST Define a Site...

Also, you MUST use the Files tab within DW to move files around within your Defined Site in order for DW to know it needs to update links.

Dreamweaver CS6 will not update.

My Dreamweaver CS6 will not update even though the updater program claims success. I am trying to update to 12.3. My existing version is 12.0 Build 5861.
I noticed that user named
wpccdistancelearning
has had the same problem, but I have not noticed any solutions provided. I'm having the same problem as others with Dreamweaver saying that "Synchronization information can not be found... " Putting an edited file will not update on the web site server.

Like I mentioned, I'm not sure about version 12.3, but this post seems to have some info that might help you...
http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1283959
As for the Synchronization issue, are you just doing a normal Put (up arrow icon) or are you attempting a Synchronize (small circular arrows icon)?
Using an actual Put action shouldn't care about synchronization info and if it were missing you should have the option to Put anyway.

Dreamweaver CS6 Templates not updating pages since i copied the website to a new computer

Dreamweaver CS6 Templates not updating pages since i copied the website to a new computer
First i install CS6 on the new computer
copy the projects
import the websites
Now, when i change any template the pages do not update any more. New pages working correct. Also manuell updating works.
Any Idea?
Where are the info about the join template and the pages. Seems on the old computer - but where?
Thx

hm?
now I made a new page from the template on the new machine - and find one difference:
New Page:
<!doctype html>
<html lang="de">
<head>....
Old Page:
<!doctype html>
<html lang="de">
<head>...
The slash / after template=" is not there on the new machine. If i remove the slash on the copied pages and restart dreamweaver then it works. A lot of work, but i can solve my problem this way.
Maybe there is some checkbox for path handling...?

Dreamweaver cs6 fails to create a folder for the scripts

Dreamweaver CS6 does not automatically create a folder to store the scripts therefore the navigation bar is not created as it should? Does it need to be re installed on the network. Is it something on the network that prevents it from creating the folders?

I have no trouble creating folders manually in the local site Files panel (F8). Right click on sitename. Select New Folder. Name it. Move scripts into to that folder.

Have you tried deleting or renaming the Dreamweaver configuration file?
See http://forums.adobe.com/thread/494811
This can solve many problems and create one in that any snippets that are installed are lost, but you can get them back. Instead of deleting the config file, just name it config.old. When your system is working, just copy the snippets from the .old file to the new one.

After reopening dreamweaver files, the table and its contents are not shown in design view

I got a problem with deisgn view which has stucked me for the whole week. I've designed a webpage with dreamweaver CS4. After reopening this webpage, I got problem to see the tables and images inserted in dreamweaver (the sliced images from fireworks works well). Somehow this problem only existed in design view, but NOT is browswer view/ live view. I thought it is the setting problem, but I tried to reopen the webpage I designed earlier... got no problem in either design or live view. I also tried starting over another new file, same problem existed (tables/images do not show in design view) I am really confused. Any thoughts?
I've already done my research everywhere, but cannot find solution.

Thank you so much... it works...
I should come here earlier... wasted lots of time !!
