Page body not displaying in Design view

Using CS3, I am trying to edit a page in Design view, however the page does not appear.
http://www.angeleyesgps.com/index2.html
The page can be found here, showing the body content appearing, showing it is not commented out.
As you scroll down the page, you will see a Design view screenshot in CS3 (attached to this posting), showing what I am seeing.
Cannot find anything in the code causing this to happen. All other pages appear fine, with body content appearing.
Sure appreciate your help on this!

Your table structure is completely messed up. You have tables nested inside of cells and inside of tables... it's a real mess I'm afraid. Because you don't have matching pairs of tags for either tables or cells that correspond, the page isn't showing up in Design view.
I think you need to start again with the table structure -and make sure you nest them correctly.
Also, not sure why you have the content within a form tag... (just under the body - and then the corresponding closing form tag at the end of the document.
<body leftmargin="0" topmargin="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" onLoad="start();" style="background-color:#1b140e">
<form name="form1" method="post" action="">
This is what the validator says:

It' really a matter of starting again (sorry !).

TranslateMarkup output not displaying in design view

Hi
I'm trying to take a set of php pages which all follow a similar style
<?php
$p=new page();
$p->rightCol=<<<RC
SOME HTML GOES HERE
RC;
$p->mainContent=<<<MC
SOME OTHER HTML GOES HERE
MC;
This then pulls in various other files (css, js etc) and renders on the website. I'm used to working with an IDE and hand-writing php code. My non-technical colleague would like to edit the html using WYSIWYG and is used to using DW. At the moment the html in the heredoc strings doesn't display in design view. I've been trying to rejig the pages using translators and can convert the above php into html which renders fine in a browser. The html output from the translateMarkup function doesn't display in design view. I think I'm probably fighting a losing battle (for instance I'm not sure how I'm going to make html editable in DW even if I can get it to render), but if anyone could explain why the html won't render I'd be very grateful. My translator is
<html>
<head>
<title>Conditional Translator</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=">
<script language="JavaScript">
function translateMarkup(docNameStr, siteRootStr, docContent){
//Find the right col stuff, delimited by <<<RC\n and RC;\n
var regexRC=/<<RC([\s\S]*)RC;/;
var regexMC=/<<MC([\s\S]*)MC;/;
var rcContent = regexRC.exec(docContent)[1];
var mcContent = regexMC.exec(docContent)[1];
var ret = (getHeader()+'<main>'+mcContent+'</main><aside id="rightcol">'+rcContent+'</aside>'+getFooter());
return ret;
function getTranslatorInfo() {
var transArray = new Array(6);
transArray[0] = "LG_TRANS";
transArray[1] = "Translates for LG";
transArray[2] = "1";
transArray[3] = "php";
transArray[4] = "0";
transArray[5] = "allFiles";
transArray[6] = "50";
return transArray;
function getHeader() {
return '<!DOCTYPE html><html><head><title>TEST</title></head><body>';
function getFooter() {
return '</body></html>';
</script>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>

unless there's any way of rewriting the files before upload and download (ie dynamically rewrite the php pages as html before dreamweaver opens them, then rewrite them back as php before they're uploaded - I'm clutching at straws).
I believe that this should be possible but I'm definitely not a DW extensionologist so I couldn't say for sure. Also, I believe that the tricky part would be the last step -> WYSIWYG edits back to PHP, which may well be impossible.
If you want to talk to someone who knows DW inside out, contact the guys at http://www.projectseven.com. They are excellent.

Includes Not Displaying in Design View

I have an html page whose content is kept mostly in include
pages. In the DW8 Design View, these includes are not displaying.
For example, a page that should have a height of 600px only
displays the masthead and footer; it's as if the includes do not
even exist. However, when I test it in the browsers, all is well.
Is there a Preference Setting or plug-in that I am missing?
Any suggestions are welcome.
Thank you in advance for your time and consideration.

> For example, a page that

Can you post a link to this page? Can you also tell us where
the includes
are (or post the raw code here)?

SSI includes do not display in design view.

Hi,
I am working on an existing site. By "existing", I mean there
was no Dreamweaver site definition. I created the site definition
but, when I open pages that use ssi, the included files do not show
in design view. If I reinsert the include, it show in design view.
The code is the same in code view. Is there some way to update the
includes so I don't have to reinsert them?
Thank you,
Henry

By "header/footer" tags, Ken means "<html>,
<head>, or <body>" tags - you
have none of those in your files being included, do you?

Inserting tabbed navigation code makes my web page not display in design view..

Hi everyone..
I am on Dreamweaver 8 for MAC, and was working on a couple of web pages..these pages included divs and tables. But when I tried inserting a tabbed navigation I found at:
http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex17/tabcontent.htm
In a nutshell, it asked me for step 1 to:
Step 1: Insert the below CSS and script into the HEAD section of your page:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="tabcontent.css" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="tabcontent.js">
* Tab Content script v2.2- © Dynamic Drive DHTML code library (www.dynamicdrive.com)
* This notice MUST stay intact for legal use
* Visit Dynamic Drive at http://www.dynamicdrive.com/ for full source code
</script>
The next step was this:
Step 2: Finally, simply add the below HTML to where you wish the Tab Content to appear on the page:
<h3>Demo #1- Basic implementation</h3>
<ul id="countrytabs" class="shadetabs">
<li><a href="#" rel="country1" class="selected">Tab 1</a></li>
<li><a href="#" rel="country2">Tab 2</a></li>
<li><a href="#" rel="country3">Tab 3</a></li>
<li><a href="#" rel="country4">Tab 4</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.dynamicdrive.com">Dynamic Drive</a></li>
</ul>
<div style="border:1px solid gray; width:450px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 10px">
<div id="country1" class="tabcontent">
Tab content 1 here<br />Tab content 1 here<br />
</div>
<div id="country2" class="tabcontent">
Tab content 2 here<br />Tab content 2 here<br />
</div>
<div id="country3" class="tabcontent">
Tab content 3 here<br />Tab content 3 here<br />
</div>
<div id="country4" class="tabcontent">
Tab content 4 here<br />Tab content 4 here<br />
</div>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
var countries=new ddtabcontent("countrytabs")
countries.setpersist(true)
countries.setselectedClassTarget("link") //"link" or "linkparent"
countries.init()
</script>
<p><a href="javascript:countries.cycleit('prev')" style="margin-right: 25px; text-decoration:none">Back</a> <a href="javascript: countries.expandit(3)">Click here to select last tab</a> <a href="javascript:countries.cycleit('next')" style="margin-left: 25px; text-decoration:none">Forward</a></p>
<hr />
Well, I did all the steps required, but when I put this inside a div I had inside a table, all of a sudden I couldnt see anything in my design view, only two tables that arent even the same size..When I take out all this code, I get back my regular page..Can I see this tabbed navigation in my design view? Unfortunately, I dont have the spry widgets since I am on Dreamweaver 8..If I preview it in both Safari and Firefox (on Mac Firefox/3.0.8) (Safari 3.2.1) I can see everything fine, including the tabbed navigation..But designing in code isnt really helpful because I want to see what it looks like in design view, in case we change things-its just easier for me to work on..So I assume there is something in this code that is making my design view show nothing..
Update:I tried taking out the code again, but this time, I couldnt see anything again, even without this code..
I know that I can go to validation website, and I got a lot of errors-but all the pages I have that are in the same style have those same errors too—and they display fine..its only when I insert this specific piece of code that everything goes haywire..Is it even possible to view tabbed navigations (like the one in the above link) inside of Dreamweaver Design View?
Any help would be appreciated..

DW8 doesn't render any dynamic content, so I'd say it's a no go. You'll just have to live with that limitation or upgrade to CS4...

JavaScript does not display in Design view

Hi,
I am just starting to learn JavaScript so excuse my, maybe stupid, questions.
Why the following code does not display Hello world! in Split view on the "design" side? When I upload the file onto the server and try to view it in the browser everything displays normally.
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />
<title>Homepage</title>
</head>
<body>
<script type="text/javascript">
document.write("Hello World!");
</script>
</body>
</html>

Hi,
This is normal, design view is simply a way of either creating your website using the wysiwyg method or if you code the website it is a way of getting an idea what the site will look like static. Design view doesn't run any scripts, which is why in the more recent versions of dreamweaver we have LiveView which does run the scripts and allow you to interact with drop down menus and the like, which you can't do in DesignView.

Code not displaying in Design View

Why would code visible in code view not be visible in design view? DW cs4, using lesson pages from Adobe DW cs4 CIB.[I'm stuck and can't complete my lesson!]

Display problems are most often caused by malformed code or an imbalance in opening and closing <div> tags. Try validating your code and fix reported errors.

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 :)
Maureen

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

Page isn't displaying in design view

I just recently upgraded from Dreamweaver 2004 to CS3.
Everything in 2004 looked just great, I could see everything on the
page, all my tables, everything. When I open the exact same page in
CS3, there is almost nothing there. All the HTML code is there, but
all I can see in design view is my Heading, background image, and a
small image in the upper-right hand corner. The rest of the page is
just blank. Am I doing something wrong here or what? I've been
playing with setting for like a week now and can't see to get it to
display the entire page, no matter what I try. Any hep would be
greatly appreciated, thanks!!!

DWCS3 is much less tolerant of bad code than DMX2004 was.
Your symptoms
sound like that's the problem. Can we see the page, please?

Saved Objects are not displayed in designer view after insert

Hi All,
My HFRS is acting weird today. I tried to insert a saved Object(text,Image) into my report. I have inserted them by (Insert>>Saved Object) but I'm unable to view them in designer view after insert. When I run the PDF Preview I'm able to see the objects on the report. Any assistance? I want to move the text object to the bottom of the report.
Thanks.

Resolved it.

PhpBB2 source code does not show in design view /CS3

I would like to customize a php bulletin board.
The default bulletin board page does not show in design view.
Is there a way to do it , such that php code can be written
by DreamWeaver via the design view ?

> The files I am trying to edit, or that is think I should
be trying to edit ,
> are
> index.php , and in the includes file template.php
If I am sorting this out correctly, which i am _not_ sure of
at the moment:
those aren't .tpl files.
they are .php files, and are part of the forum. They aren't
displaying in
design view because they are all php.
You need to find and edit the template files.
In previous link given:
http://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtopic.php?t=10764
<q>
So where do I find these great 'templates'?
Look in /templates/subSilver (thoroughout the FAQ I will be
using subSilver,
the default template. If you are using a different template
then change the
folder you look in accordingly). You will see a collection of
files there.
The templates are the ones with the file extension '.tpl' The
majority of
files in that folder are .tpl files. </q>
strongly suggest you make a backup copy of anything you try
to touch.

SSI do not appear in design view; CS4

All of a sudden.. my ssi's do not appear in design view in CS4. This is occuring in multiple web sites that prevously DID display SSI's
Yes.. I do have Preverances --> Invisible Elements --> Server Sides Includes: Show contents of include file IS checked
Yes.. I have checked both the local and remote information in Site definitions .. all are correct. (and none have changed since the problem emerged) All sites are set to site root relative.
Yes.. I have checked each include. None has any doc type, html or body tags.
No.. LIve View is not turned on
Yes.. the pages all validate
Yes.. I have tried to 'start from scratch' .. new site, new site definitions.. new .shtml pages and new includes. No love!
After inserting a new SSI using the insert menu (typical code result: ) the properties bar seems to get stuck .. displaying the ssi code and not allowing me to select other elements on the page to edit properties. A restart of Dreamweaver solves the problem. But boy is this annoying.
All of the includes do display properly when uploaded to the web server and viewed in a browser.
I've searched the forum.. and read any post that seemed even remotely relavant and have not been able to solve the problem.
I would really appreciate your help. I am a web designer and have used Dreamweaver for many, many years.

Nice site. I drive by that school quite often when I shop in Thousand Oaks.
Crashes, installation, JavaScript errors, and unexplained problems
If Dreamweaver is acting erratically, or if you see a message saying "the following JavaScript error(s) occurred", it's usually a sign of a corrupt cache file. The first thing to try should always be to delete the file cache. If that doesn't work, delete your personal Configuration folder. Full instructions are in Deleting a corrupted cache file.

Lists not showing in Design view

If I preview page in browser, I can see the bulleted list,
but it is not visibile in design view, pretty annoying. Anyone know
why this might be happening? I validated my code and got no
errors...

Open any html page
either type the element in code view, say h1. Hello
it doesn't show up in Design View (It's visible in Live view however)
Or,
In Design View type Hello (yes, it's visible!)
Highlight Hello, then right click (I use a 2 button mouse) select from the pop-up menu and format the hello as h1. Hello
It disappears from the design view... (yes, it's visible in Live View)
Menu spry's and other "widgets" inserted do not display correctly in Design View, but display Okay in Live view
(This behaviour did not happen in CS4)
