Paste Doesn't Work in DW CS3 Design View

What's up with this now?
This is a fresh installation of CS3 on a Mac Pro G5. Pasting
in text from Word or Excel won't work in Design View, but it does
in Code View.
I've been doing this for a while now on another machine,
using CS2.
What am I missing? Did I overlook something? I've checked in
the Preferences, but besides the usual choices for pasting, I don't
see why this won't work.
Ideally, I'm trying to improve my process of placing tabular
data from Excel. It's a pain to paste in information cell by cell.
Why can't I paste-in ANY text of any kind in Design View?
Thanks!

Copy Paste doesn't work during and after a remote login session

Hi
I am using a Windows 7 Home Premium Service Pack 1 laptop to login into Linux. I am using Putty and Xming to SSH and view the desktop. Whenever I start a session the copy paste functionality gets disabled in my laptop,i.e., I cannot copy text from one text
file to another or within the same text file. The copy paste doesn't work even upon closing the connection.
From what I have gathered it is not possible to copy from one computer(host) to another(guest) during a remote login session but I am not able to copy within my windows laptop.
Is there some setting that I need to change to prevent it from happening? What are the possible solutions?
Thank You
Rishabh

Hi,
Are you able to copy and paste in the putty session, with mouse or keyboard?
Using PuTTY
http://the.earth.li/~sgtatham/putty/0.52/htmldoc/Chapter3.html
Please restart your PC to check whether you can get back the copy and paste function. It can be caused by some compatibility issue.
Please also run "sfc /scannow", check if it find and fix any errors.

Paste doesn't work on IPad, on sites that use frames

I work for MindBody Inc. and a client of ours brought to my attention that paste simply doesn't paste on our site. This is quite annoying for them, and in trying to find a fix, I discovered that a fairly moderate bug in Safari on the IPad. Paste just simply doesn't work in frames.
Does anyone know how I would go about submitting a bug to Apple?
The test:
I've created the following test
frameTest.html
<html>
<head>
<title>Iphone frame test</title>
</head>
<frameset id="mainFrameset" rows="98,*" frameborder="0" framespacing="0" NORESIZE>
<frame name="topFrame" src="brianTest.html" frameborder="0" noresize scrolling="NO" >
<frame name="mainFrame" src="brianTest.html" frameborder="0" scrolling="YES">
</frameset>
</html>
brianTest.html:
<html>
<head>
<title>Testing IPad Paste</title>
</head>
<body>
Testing: <input type="text" name="test" />
</body>
</html>
When browsing the frameTest.html paste doesn't work. It shows up but clicking it pastes nothing.
Going to brianTest.html, paste works as expected.

Same problem with Atomic Web Browser on the websites using frames.
All the "identify web browser as" options have been tested, unsuccessfully.
It seems that the new iPad 4.2 iOS version solves the problem. I will test it on monday and post the results here. Stay tuned, or check it by yourself...

What is it about this markup that breaks DW CS3 Design View Editing?

Folks:
I'm attaching very simple --and apparently completely valid-- markup that generates the text shown between the markers below:
------------start----------------
yadda yadda yadda yadda yadda yadda yadda yadda yadda yadda yadda yadda yadda yadda yadda yadda yadda yadda yadda yadda yadda yadda yadda yadda yadda yadda yadda yadda yadda yadda yadda yadda yadda badda.
------------end----------------
As you can see by examining the file, it contains only an span enclosing text and spaces, and some following breaks. This file passes DW validation: no errors or warnings.
If I open this file in DW CS3 Design View, select and delete the last word, "badda", the entire text --every "yadda"-- is also deleted. All that text is really gone -- if I immediately save the file and re-open it, there is no text content at all, just the span pair, spaces, and the trailing breaks. This is completely repeatable.
When you edit this file, do you get the same result?
The attached file is a cut-down, simplified version of a production file that exhibits this issue. (That file also passes validation.) When I delete single words, entire content paragraphs disappear. So this is not just a point of curiosity. I need to figure out how to fix the production code and avoid this problem in the future.
What is it about the attached markup that causes this issue? I've fooled around with this code quite a bit and the best I can figure out is that DW is confused when both the start- and end- span tags are followed immediately by a line break. Inserting a space in either place makes the issue go away. But the production code doesn't have any occurances of this pattern. And, anyway, line-breaks have no significance to html, just for source-code formatting, right?
Am I missing something incredibly obvious?
TIA
hen3ry

Nancy O:
Thank you for your response, which gave me valuable clues to understanding the issues. (Specifically, it led me to re-read and understand better the nitty-gritty of the HTML4 specs, section 7, "The global structure of an HTML Document", especially 7.5.1 The BODY element.)
I believe you are saying --in sum-- that to be reliably edited in DW, each source file must comprise a syntactically correct and complete HTML Document.
I am attaching a second file, "badcode2.html", modified substantially as you suggest. It passes the DW validator, the validator.w3.org test, and the www.totalvalidator.com test. No errors or warnings.
I do this: Launch DW, open this file, choose Design View if necessary, select the final word of text, "badda", and activate Edit-->Cut (or Delete). As before, all the other text is deleted as well. This is repeatable.
It seems to me this sample code satisfies your general principle. Could I be misapplying the three validation tests? Or that passing these tests does not assure the document is syntactically correct and complete? Can you recommend other tests?
I'd like to add the following two points as a matter of background and a bit of niggling:
--I'm aware that complete HTML pages must contain <html> , <head>, and <body> tags, although the HTML4 specification seems to say <body> tags are optional. All my production pages, as served, contain these tags. My underlying design is a php template with individual content files incorporated by inclusion. There may be only one set of <html> , <head>, and <body> in a page. The "outer" template code provides these tags, and individual content files cannot contain a nested set -- so they must be "bare" markup. Is DW able to support this design, in which "bare markup" files are seemingly unavoidable? Is there a mechanism analogous to DW Design-Time Style Sheets to provide virtual existence of these tags so "bare markup" files can be successfully edited? I've looked for such a mechanism but not found one. Or some completely different method?
--You specify the inclusion of or <h1> tags within the body. Is there some special significance of or <h1> with respect to stable editing in DW? My reading of the HTML4 spec indicates that a single block element is the minimal requirement for body content. Either of these tags qualify, right? But so does <div>, and that's what I use in my current example. Am I misunderstanding something?
Bottom line, I'm looking for a pragmatic solution for my problem: Once in a while, among hundreds of structurally similar "bare markup" pages I edit in DW without any problem, I lose data. If inserting an additional tag into all my content include files eliminates these occasional problems, I'm willing to do that, as long as: (1) There is an arguable technical basis for the addition, (2) the added tag does not produce anything visible on the served page, and (3) the validators don't flag the extra tag.
Suggestions, please!
Thanks,
hen3ry

CS3 - Design View not showing externally linked images

In CS3 Design View, externally linked images are not showing
up... i am only getting the place holder.
To prempt some questions:
1/ Links are correct and complete - apart from the fact that
they show up when previewing in the browser(s) - i have
crosschecked
2/ There are no spaces in the url
3/ In the 'View' menu, 'Display External Files' is checked
I had this problem before and escargo suggested saving and
rebooting. It worked then but strangely, today, that file is again
showing some of the externally linked images but not all. And on a
new file, created today, none of the externally linked images are
showing up... :(
I'm sure there's a simple solution to the problem... anyone
have any idea what it could be?
Thanks and cheers,
JJ

Font sizes render too small in DW CS3 design view?

I have recently upgraded to DW CS3 from DW8 (which is still
installed) on my Vista Ultimate system.
For some reason CS3 occasionally renders fonts smaller than
they 'should' appear. This can be replicated using the below code
(I realise this code is not 'best practice' by any measure but it
is the simplest way I could demonstrate the problem). In DW8 design
view it renders exactly as it outputs in IE5, 6, 7, and Firefox
(with default viewing settings) but in DW CS3 the font appears much
smaller! I realise this is probably a standards issue, with CS3
probably sticking to the standards more firmly than the browsers
and DW8 but I need the design view to render as the browser will or
it is no use to me
Please do not say that I should amend my code to be more
'Standards Compliant' as my main use of DW is coding a large
PHP/MySQL invoicing system which is used within a controlled LAN on
IE6 only. It was originally written by someone else and has been
added to and updated by myself. It is very large and certainly
doesn't need rewriting just to render correctly in DW CS3 design
view.
Any help greatly appreciated

Thanks, Malcom
Here is a screen shot of DW CS2 andn how the fonts are
displayed:

CS4 to CS3 Design View Preview

Is it possable to to preview Dreamweaver CS4 in CS3 Design View? I only have CS4 on my machine and a customer with CS3 wants to make changes to my work. The CSS styles do not render correctly. Is there anything I can do to to correct this? Everything works in the browsers.

Nope. Some show - some don't.

Can't edit text in CS3 design view

Hi,
I have a big absolutely positioned DIV tag in most of my
pages, practically the whole page content is inside it.
In DW CS3 design view very often (maybe 50% of all times) if
I click inside it to edit the text, DW selects the entire DIV tag.
The cursor becomes like a cross with arrows, the DIV border becomes
outlined with a thick blue line, and I can't edit the text no
matter how much times I click. If I move the mouse with left button
pressed, this moves the DIV and changes the .css file where the
position is defined. DIV can't be de-selected with Escape, left or
right clicking.
The only way to get out of this is to click somewhere in the
code view, then go back to design view where hopefully text can be
edited. Sometimes I have to repeat this twice or even 3 times ,
it's extremely annoying and time consuming.
Is there any workaround?
Like to disable selection of containers in design view, or at
least a quick way to deselect the current selection?
This problem does not appear in DW8 when editing the same
files.
thanks

Nasty. Why?
Do you have an overflow style on this div?

Save Doesn't Work in Dw CS3

All of a sudden Save no longer works in Dreamweaver
CS3 on an XT(2) PC. At first I tried Control-S and thought that
something was grabbing the control character - but it doesn't even
work from the drop down Menu File/Save. What is weird is the Save
As works. Just a pain because it asks me to overwrite each time. Or
it will save the work (after asking) when I hit F12 to test in the
browser.
I tried deleting the Configuration file but that didn't help.
I am really lost and frustrated by this. Oh, and it works in Ps, Fw
and Fl!!!!

Copy/Paste doesn't work in Address Bar and Smart Search Field

Yeah, that's true. Say, I copied a sentence from a site. When I try to paste that sentence into 'Smart Search Field' and press 'Enter'. It doesn't work! Same thing happens when I try to paste a URL into Address Bar/Smart Address Field. What's going on? Anyone else having this problem?
PS - In case you're wondering what 'Smart Search Field' is, here's a pic http://images.apple.com/safari/images/features-search-smartsearch-20090528.jpg

Yes, I've got that too. It's not clear why it hits some people and not others. Haven't seen any commonalities among the reports that I can tell at the moment.
Some workarounds discussed in this thread:

Copy and Paste Doesn't Work in Windows

Copy and paste does not work in iTunes 9.1.0.79 in Windows 7.
When I select songs in a playlist to copy to a folder in Windows 7, I can select all and copy. But nothing appears when I try to paste those songs. Paste is grayed out.
(Or is copy and paste supposed to work only within iTunes?)
Any help in solving this problem would be appreciated.

When I select songs in a playlist to copy to a folder in Windows 7, I can select all and copy. But nothing appears when I try to paste those songs. Paste is grayed out.
Correct.
You are copying the text from the columns displayed in iTunes.
You can paste that into a text document.
To assist others which may have the same question and see this topic, what was your solution?
Just drag the songs from iTunes to the folder you want.

Cut and Paste doesn't work in lots of apps

I was surprised that cut and paste does not work in Twitter, in App descriptions and other places. It's nice that it works on web sites and email text, notes, etc. But, am I wrong about this?

herbmann wrote:
I don't understand your reply. I am able to copy and paste from web sites without any problems.
That's because cut and paste to a web page isn't the same copy and paste from it. Your first post (and the title of this thread) referred to +cutting and pasting to+ a twitter web page.
You can copy text from anywhere, but you can +cut and paste+ only to editable fields.

Server Side Includes not displaying in DW CS3 design view

I have this code in my page (see below):
When I open the file in Dreamweaver MX 2004 in design view,
the page displays correctly. That is, I see the correct styles from
the style sheet contained in Head_Standard.html and the logo/menu
in Logo_TopMenu.html
When I open the page in DW CS3, I do not see the effects of
the style sheet and I do not see the logo/menu.
However, when I change the code for the first include from:
virtual="/ServerSide
to
virtual="
../../ServerSide
then the page renders correctly in Dreamweaver CS3.
My first reaction was: what?! And my question is: how do I
use a root reference inside the head and get it to display properly
in DW CS 3?

"Go to Edit > Preferences > Invisible Elements >
Server-Side Includes (Check this box) to show contents of included
file"
I already do this.
For me:
/ServerSide... does NOT work
../../ServerSide... works
So, a relative reference works and a reference to the root
does not. I have over 20 websites with root references and I need
this to work in DW9.

Dreamweaver CS3 design view fonts

We have installed DW CS3 and users are complaining the fonts
in design view are too small and difficult to read. It appears to
be picking this up from the stylesheet used in the site. Is there a
way to change this behavior? Obviously we do not want to change the
stylesheet to make DW happy. This doesn't appear to make much
sense.

Check the Adobe technotes on how to fix this.

CS3 Design View And Invisible Elements

Hello, CS3 Dreamweaver often doesn't shown hidden divs. I
have an
absolutely positioned div and it seems the only way to see it
in design
view is to go to code view select the div and switch back to
design view
and with luck it will appear. View - Visual Aids - Invisible
Elements is
checked. Are there any settings I have missed or are
invisible elements
buggy in design view?
Thanks,
Chris (Hunt)

DW's Design view (in any version of DW) will not show
elements with the
visibility:hidden attribute enabled unless you select the
element. An easy
way to do that would be to select it in the AP ELEMENTS
panel. Have you
tried that?
