Properties panel missing things in css mode (CS4)

Hi - I'm doing a tutorial in css with a Dreamweaver CS4 pre-designed layout. I want to make a nav bar by using an unordered list and hyperlinking the words in the list.
My properties panel (bottom of the window) in css mode does not show a box for links or a gizmo for making lists, indents, etc.Shouldn't those be available?
Do I have to use the menus at the top? Do I switch to <>HTML to get the features that are missing in css mode?
Insights would be appreciated.
Thank you.

They are when you click on the HTML button on the Property inspector.

  • Css properties panel won't allow changes

    Every time I try to make a change within the CSS Properties Panel, everything disappears and will not work. I have brought this to my teachers attention, and he says I have done everything correctly, so I am completely unaware of what the issue is. On top of this, it seems like DW CC has had quite a number of problems, including it quitting itself and not being able to restart. Any help would be appreciated!

    Run the validators anyway, "missing apostrophe syndrome" hits the best of us. I'm not saying your professor missed something, but it's possible.
    If the code comes up clean, it may be time to move onto some general catch all troubleshooting steps...

  • Character Styles in CSS Properties Panel are not correct

    I am using Adobe Illustator CC.
    I am trying to export all of the charter styles as CSS. However the CSS panel is not generating the correct style.
    Right now, in the Character Styles Panel and CSS Properties Panel I have 3 styles (Default, h1, h2)
    This is how they are defined in the Character Styles Panel:
    1. [Normal Character Style]:Helvectic Neue LT Std, 55 Roman, 16px
    2. h1: Helvectic Neue LT Std, 25 Ultra Light, 35px
    3. h2: Helvectic Neue LT Std, 45 Light, 18px
    HOWEVER
    When I go to the CSS Properties panel the code is not showing the Font Style:
    This is how they are defined in the CSS Properties Panel:
    1. [Normal Character Style]:
    .NormalCharacterStyle
      font-family : Helvetica Neue LT Std;
      font-size : 16px;
      color : #19131F;
      color : rgb(25, 19, 31);
    2. h1:
    .h1
      font-family : Helvetica Neue LT Std;
      font-size : 35px;
      letter-spacing : 0.53px;
      color : #FFFFFF;
      color : rgb(255, 255, 255);
    Missing:  25 Ultra Light
    3. h2:
    .h2
      font-family : Helvetica Neue LT Std;
      font-size : 18px;
      text-transform : uppercase;
      color : #FCFCFC;
      color : rgb(252, 252, 252);
    Missing:  45 Light
    Am I not doing somethign correctly? Is it a problem with my font or with Illustrator?
    Also, in case it makes a difference, I only have the default paragraph style defined. It's style is; Helvectic Neue LT Std, 55 Roman
    Thanks!

    CSS cannot render typographical multiple weight fonts simply because that's just not how it works. All CSS does is reference a physical font file and its properties and while it's possible to use the font-weight and font-style attributes to make standard fonts lighter or bolder it does not compare to anything you would do with the font in a real design environment. That and of course you still need to define fallback/ substitution options - the Helvetica Neue you are referencing is exclusively available on Apple systems only and even if what you are trying worked off the bat, it would be useless on alternate devices that have no access to the font.

  • Missing Dynamic Lighting Bolt on properties panel

    Hi all,
    CS6 on windows XP.  PHP/MySQL local site setup and working fine.  Only problem, I cannot bind a recordset to a select list because the lighing bolt / dynamic icon is missing from the properties panel.
    At the moment I am opeing an old CS4 version to get around this problem.
    All other dynamic behavoiurs etc are working fine in CS6. Updates are done. My version of dreamweaver was purchased a few months ago via cloud membership.
    Any help greatly appeciated.
    Thanks
    Jon

    Dreamweaver's server behaviors use deprecated code, which PHP and MySQL recommend should not be used for new projects. The other main problem is that they don't validate the user input. Also, they frequently query the database when it's not necessary. But perhaps the worst aspect is that they give a false sense of security. That's not to say they've got security loopholes, but many people use them without understanding any of the code that's generated.
    Adobe's recommendation is to hand-code the PHP or to use a third-party framework. The one I used in my Dreamweaver CS5 book is Zend Framework. A new version of the Framework has just been released, so I'll probably have to update that book, although it's still valid for Zend Framework I.
    Glad you like my PHP Solutions book. I'm honoured to be in Saint Eric's company.

    What do you have selected when you do this? The contents of
    the Property

  • I can't edit a Line with the Properties panel - Flash CS4

    I have created a line on the stage with the Line tool, and then want to edit the Stroke and Style in the Properties panel. However, after creating the line these options are greyed out and not available to me. Even if I then select the Line with the Selection tool, I cannot edit the Stroke or the Style. It seems to me I should be able to do this, what am I missing?

    Normally after drawing the line you only need to click once on it to select it, and with it selected you should be able to access its settings in the properties panel.

  • CS4 properties panel not completely visible

    The dreamweaver CS4 properties panel is not completely
    visible, some parts of it don't show up completely. In vista I have
    my fonts set at 110%, 106 dpi. When I change them back to 100%
    96dpi, it becomes visible.
    I'm just curious why doesn't dreamweaver CS4 scale to larger
    fonts, just like other applications? Is there some way to fix this?
    I'd prefer to use larger system fonts, since their easier on the
    eyes.

    Unfortunately Adobe is notorious for not following Windows
    standard APIs. It
    is unlikely they will fix the issue anytime soon.

  • CSS properties panel - odd problem

    Recently the CSS properties panel has suddenly changed and
    won't operate or display the way it's supposed to. The CSS Styles
    panel is open. I've got the layout set to "Show only set
    properties". When I choose a selector the properties show up below
    it, however the "Add property" link is gone and there are no labels
    for each property.
    I've never seen this before and I can't find any option to
    switch it back, in case I changed the layout by accident. Has
    anyone any knowledge of this? Did I do something to change the
    layout?
    Thanks for any assistance.
    Jeff

    I am having the same problem. I even reinstalled Dreamweaver
    but it didn't help. Any ideas?
    Thank you.

  • Properties panel crashes flash cs4  - OSX 10.5.5

    I just upgraded to cs4 and all other apps seem to work fine
    but flash cs4 10.0.1.
    heres how I can make it crash every time:
    1) launch flash cs4
    2) create a new action script 3 document
    3) click the color pallet to change the back ground color in
    the properties panel
    4) crash
    clicking the color pallet also crashes the app as well.
    one clue: saving your project will allow you to change the
    background color in the properties panel but attempting to save or
    save as will also cause the app to crash.
    I have tried everything. Reinstalling, updating and still
    crash.
    Can anyone help?

    It seems that Adobe has lost it's reputation because of PSE. My version crashes loads and it's starting to effect the what I do.
    A company can lose it's reputation very quickly. Overall I think they will make a loss with this product due to the damage it's done.
    I believe that people should start suing software companies if the product is not "fit for purpose". This rule goes for non-software products so why not software. People just seem to assume that software and technology can bomb out and that it's ok. Well the tide of acceptance should change... it is clearly UNACCEPTABLE when paying for a product that it fails quite a bit!
    I'm f£$%ing furious after all these years of putting up with terrible software. First it was Microsoft (although admittedly they improved from about 2000/XP onwards). However Adobe have gone backwards! What is going on!?
    I want either a refund or a free working upgrade. Also possibly compensation! Why the hell not!?

  • CS4 Crash, Properties panel unresponsive

    Recently I had issue with Flash CS4 crashing repeatedly. Also
    the application would have trouble using the text tool to create
    TextFields it would not update the properties panel (Ctrl+F3) when
    switching between field types (dynamic, static and input). Also the
    properties panel would not update when selecting other items in the
    FLA file and just remain as the TextField details.
    A co-worker found that the issue was with the fonts on our
    systems. It appears some where corrupt and this was wreaking havoc
    with Flash CS4. We tried turning off the preview but that did not
    work. What did work was removing the corrupt fonts on our systems.
    First we had to find out which fonts were corrupt which can
    be done with FontAgentPro from Insider Software
    (www.insidersoftware.com). (Compatible with Mac OSX, XP and Vista)
    We installed the trial and tried to run an import which told
    us which fonts were corrupt. Once we knew which fonts were corrupt
    we just deleted/removed them from our Font folder. Note
    FontAgentPro crashed when we deleted/removed the fonts with it
    open; so we had to make a list of the fonts and close FontAgentPro.
    Once the bad fonts were gone we were able to open and run
    Flash CS4 without it crashing or the properties panel from hanging
    or becoming unresponsive.
    We hope this helps other who are experiencing similar issues.
    Note:
    On fresh Vista install Calibri, Cambria and Constantia fonts
    were all seen as corrupt. Not sure if this happened due to font
    installs we made, vista install bad (which runs very stable) or if
    Vista fonts are a different creature than previous window OT and
    TTF fonts.

    Unfortunately Adobe is notorious for not following Windows
    standard APIs. It

  • CSS in Properties Panel is blacked out.

    Some of my CSS rules are blacked out (highlighted in black) in my Properties Panel.
    Does this mean there is something wrong with the CSS in my site?
    Any ideas or explanation would be appreciated.
    I am using DW CS6 on a Mac Book Pro Retina 15,  OS 10.9.5
    Thanks,

    Is it not showing you an example of the CSS style? So instead of being blacked out, it is showing you what it looks like.

  • Fireworks CSS Properties panel shorthand

    Hi is where any way insted of:
    font-family:"Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
    font-size:16px;
    line-height:140%;
    color:rgb(168,168,169);
    text-align:left;
    to have:
    color: #A8A8A9;
    font: 16px/1.4 "Trebuchet MS", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
    and same shorthand for everything else. Is where any way to edit CSS Properties panel?
    P.S. I was trying http://mattstow.com/css-professionalzr.html , but in most cases its not working.

    Without doing a lot research into this, I'm not sure what to suggest. I think you're on the right track by trying a tool like Matt's CSS Professionalzr. Have you tried giving him feedback on what's not working? (I do see that it's version 0.4, so it could still be a work in progress.)
    Within the CSS Properties panel itself, I don't see any shorthand options. I know the panel was introduced as an add-on to CS5, so it's still a relatively new feature.
    I don't know if Dreamweaver might be helpful to you here. It has options for writing CSS shorthand.
    Perhaps there's a way to "wash" the Fireworks code output in Dreamweaver by resaving or editing the CSS file or something. If not, I'd do a Google search for some kind of tool that's oriented towards "CSS shorthand". There might be a converter out there.

  • Is the Advanced Answer Option missing in CP7? (I'm looking in Properties panel.)

    Hello there,
    I'm new to CP7 but I've seen some online tutorials and they clearly show an Advanced Answer Option for multiple choice question (so I can provide feedback to wrong answer).
    Unfortunately I don't see it anywhere in the Properties Panel as I'm supposed to. I just see Character, Format, Shadow & Reflection, Transform.
    Thanks to anyone who can point me in the right direction. (BTW, I have multiple attempts selected in Quiz Properties).

    I assume I'm on a normal slide (I am VERY new to CP but I have checked this 2 ways. First, the timeline is not on the Master tab. Second, I have gone to menu at the top for Insert > Question Slide and while there, I noted that Insert > Quiz Master Slide was greyed out and not an option).
    I'm afraid I didn't find the 'utils' folder. I looked in all six locations where Captivate has folders (mostly put there automatically) but I may have missed it. I will list those locations below FYI.
    However, there has been a solution of sorts. I went into the second folder on the list below and cleared the cache as you suggested. I then ran CP7 as Administrator (advice I'd seen for a different problem on another thread). I created a new blank slide and inserted MPQ. The Advanced Answer Option was there. I then went back the original slide that was giving me problems (still running program as Admin) but once again, no Advanced Answer Option. Strange, no? Luckily, I'm still just at the playing-around stage so it's no problem to kill that first slide and start afresh.
    If there's anything else you think I need to know or if you want me to try something else to satisfy curiousity, let me know. Otherwise, I appreciate your advice till here.
