Property Inspector Inactive - when it shouldn't be!

Hi,
I have a friend opening a php page, based on a template with editable regions. When the mouse cursor is placed within an editable region, for some reason, the PI is still greyed out/inactive. Cannot work out why.
The screen print shows what's happening. This is using DW cs4.
Any ideas??
Cheers
Emily
NB when I open the same page in DW8 the PI options are active!

Sure, it isn't possible to use the Properties Inspector when you are in Live View.

Missing Property Inspector fields when using CFFORM

I've created a CFFORM and added some text fields. When I
opened the property inspector to change the fields properties all I
see are two buttons to show attributes and contents. All the rest
is gone. Any idea why this is happening?

Hi,
In generally we load text(descriptions and language) data only thru text data source.
What fields you want load thru 0comp_code_text?
if you need attributes data then look at data source 0comp_code_attr.
Thru attr data source we can load attribvutes data.
First screen shot is from?
You can check data source fields at RSA6 and table - ROOSFIELDS.
Thanks

Hotspot Property Inspector issues

I am trying to create hotspots on a navigation bar that I designed and am stuck...new to Fireworks and am using the trial version.
I create a nav bar in Photoshop and exported it as a .gif.
I placed the gif into my Web site using Dreamweaver.
Instead of manually going to each and every page of my site within Dreamweaver and creating hotspots and pop up menus, I thought I might automate the process in Fireworks and therefore only have to create hotspots and pop up menus once.
So I'm in Dreamweaver, click on my .gif file and say edit with Fireworks.
I have no trouble creating the hotspot in Fireworks.
The place I run into trouble is within the property inspector. When I try to link the hotspot to page on my site, none of my pages are showing up as an option in the link box. When I click on the arrows it's blank.
I'm sure I have done this the long way, but I'm figuring it out as I go and this seemed pretty easy thus far.

Are you trying to add the links within Fireworks? You will have to manually type the links into the link field unless your Fireworks PNG file has other pages in it which represent the web site.
If the graphic is "locked down" and isn't going to change visually, it will be faster if you create the hotspots in Dreamweaver. You can then save the entire asset as a Library item which can then be added to each page. If you need to edit the hotspots, you can do it within the Library item and the change will propagate across all web pages.

First Play and End Jump go blank in Property Inspector

I am using dvdsp2. In my Property Inspector window, when I go to the First Play drop down menu it is blank. There are no items to select in the drop down menu when I select the disc in the Outline tab.
The same goes for End Jump in the Property Inspector when I click Track 1
I tried a reinstall but it did not change anything.
Any help please?
So, what I'm noticing is that in the Property Inspector when I click First Play, where it says Menu 1 in the drop down menu it clears when clicked. This does the same in the Remote Control section. Drop Down menus Title, Menu, and Return all clear(go blank) when I click them.
The same goes for Track 1 in the Property Inspector. In the Remote Control section
Angle, Chapter, Audio, Subtitle drop down menus all go clear when clicked. Only the Menu drop down stays but does not drop down. It shows: Same as Disc.
Maybe there's a link.
Thanks

Problem when I click the "browse to file" icon in the property inspector

Please somebody help me. I am having a problem with Dreamweaver. When ever I click on the "browse to file" icon in the property inspector, it opens up a full size window on top of the Dreamweaver screen that can't be resize. This problem just started. I have shut down my entire system and restarted it and I am still having the problem. Can someone please help me. Thank-you

Output text show Null when access value through property inspector in ADF

Hi,
we declare two UIComponents one is Deptno which is InputComboBoxListofValues and othre is Dname as output text.
we create ManagedBean called "deptBean"(which is in BackingBeanScope) and create a method inside bean "deptnoChanged".
ValueChangeListener of Deptno pointing to deptnoChanged method of deptBean.
Inside deptBean we declare a variable private String departmentName which are having setter and getters.
we can Initialize departmentName based on valueChangeEvent in bean level
for example:
if (deptno=10)
setdepartmentName("Accounts");
else
setdepartmentName("Sales");
Now we Can Access the Value of departmentName.
The UIComponent(output text field) such as Dname in JSP Page we set value (in property Inspector)
_#{backingBeanScope.deptBean.departmentName}_
when we execte the JSP Page Dname show Null as output. but output we expect as Accounts or Sales only.
Please help us, how to resolve the problem
Thanks,
kumar.

when we execte the JSP Page Dname show Null as output. but output we expect as Accounts or Sales only.The value to be got while debugging should be via EL expressions and stored somewhere.
If the value Dname is bound to the backing bean then you can view its value in the property inspector using
#{<BeanScope>.<BeanName>.value} or the like

Property inspector not working correctly

The property inspector in CS3 is not working correctly. When
I select text or any other object the property inspector does not
change for that object. But when I right mouse click on the
selected object it does. Do I need to change a setting?
Thanks!

Yes, me too. I can't find an answer to this anywhere.
If I right-click or double-click on an item the property
inspector shows it, but if I single click, nothing happens. It's
bad for productivity.

Not able to change values in the Property Inspector

Hello!
Can some one please help me with this. I was working in
Director when I noticed that all of a sudden I wasn't able to
change the values in the property inspector, specifially the sprite
properties such as the x and y coordinates and the width and
height. I'll type in a value and then I will get an error sound and
it will revert to the previous value. How can I fix this??
Thanks!

Hi Ringerz,
I've seen the PI lock up sometimes. What usually works is to
switch to List Viw
Mode. Never have trouble there. Then, close Director and
reopen. Think it's jus a
bug that hasn't been fixed yet.

Property inspector not loading

Hi
Newbie question. I am reviewing a mapping and want to see the join criteria between two objects. I'm told it's displayed in the Property Inspector, but for some reason the Property Inspector wont load when I go to View > Property Inspector. Nothing happens! All the other toolbars etc load fine.
Would this be a security issue?
Cheers

Hi,
Your OWB design client layout would have been changed. Delete the OWB preferences from your client PC and restart the design center.
Path to the OWB preferences is as shown below:
c:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\OWB
You can delete the system* folder in this directory and restart the design center.

Property inspector not displaying properties

Trivial problem: DAK why DW8 (8.0.2) Property inspector
sometimes displays just "Div ID, Class and an Edit CSS button" when
within a DIV? When in Code view in a correctly functioning
page, most of the code will have detailed HTML properties displayed
as usual. But in one section - which has multiple nested DIVs with
some other HTML inside, Property inspector displays only the DIV
details instead of the other HTML details - as if it were still
inspecting the DIV tag itself instead of being within the DIV?
The page validates with no errors and the DIVs are closed
with </div> in the right places.

Yes, me too. I can't find an answer to this anywhere.
If I right-click or double-click on an item the property
inspector shows it, but if I single click, nothing happens. It's

Property inspector not appearing

When i design a shape(a rectangle for example) the property inspector appears in the borrom of fireworks window.
If i import though a picture the property inspector does not appear.
Why that?
How i can fix this issue and the property inspector be appearing in the case also where an image is imported?
Or this cannot be done by definition in Fireworks.
Thanks.

There's always a way. It just may not be very "automatic" and depends on the bitmap you're trying to replicate.
In FW, you can trying using the bitmap selection tools to select various bitmap elements, then choose Select > Convert Marquee to Path.
Or you can use the vector tools to manually trace over the bitmap.
In AI, there is an Live Trace feature but depending on the complexity of your bitmap, you may not get exactly what you want, so manually editing/tweaking will be needed. Indeed you may end up with a far more complicated vector than you expect. You'll definitely need to experiment with this feature and the Live Paint counterpart to get what you want.
I believe Flash also has a trace feature.

Property Inspector for Locked Content Doesn't Set Content Dirty

I have a property inspector for my locked content. When the
user sets a new value in the inspector, the orig attribute of the
MM:BeginLock tag is updated appropriately. Unfortunately,
Dreamweaver doesn't see that change as having modified the document
in a meaningful way, so it doesn't enable the Refresh Design View
buttons. Hitting F5, the hotkey for Refresh Design View, has no
effect.
Do you have a suggestion how I can make Dreamweaver think the
content is modified?

Hello,
without going into the specifics of your question, have you checked the following SDN blog?

Font change in property inspector

Good day all
I would like to change the font used in Dreamweaver MX's
windows, such as the property inspector. For example when a layout
table is selected the font used in the property inspector to
indicate width, height, cell pad, cell space etc appears pixelated
making it difficult to read, for a beginner like me. I have tried
altering the PC's screen resolution but it makes no difference and
It is only the floating windows, such as the property inspector and
objects window, that the problem shows itself- the rest of the
Dreamweaver window, such as the menus, appear ok.
Does anybody know how to change it???
Many thanks in advance
Chris

It depends very much on precisely what you mean in the above.
I will assume
that when you say 'one line' you mean 'one paragraph'. to do
that, you
would create a rule like this -
#content p.special { font-size:16px; }
and then apply the 'special' class to the paragraph in
question by selecting
it with the tag selector, right clicking to get the context
menu, and using
"Set class to -> special".
Or, you could click in the paragraph tag in question and use
the 'Style'
selector on the Property inspector to select "special".
If, instead, you meant one line within a paragraph, then you
would have to
select that text, and surround it with a span tag (using
Ctrl-t). Apply the
'special' class to the span tag, and adjust your rule like
this -
#content span.special { font-size:16px; }

Property Inspector is empty

Using JDev 10.1.2.1.0 (Build 1913) on XP. When I view the Property Inspector, it's empty. Not just the values, but the entire window. The name of the selected object is in the title bar, and the 7 icons are present, but there is no information in the body of the window, neither property names nor values. The only time I see anything in the body is when I click on a 'Package' name in the Navigator window, and then I see one line that always says 'defaultPackage' on the left, and the name of the package on the right. Any other type of object (specifically, I'm trying to view the properties of a Crosstab as described in Oracle's BI Beans OBE Lesson) comes up totally blank. The objects exist, they're visible on the screen, but nothing at all in the Property Inspector.
Any ideas?

My bad. I figured out what was missing.
Right-clicked on the Property Inspector window, and saw that 'Read-Only Properties' and 'Write-Only Properties' were both unselected. Once I selected them, all of the properties showed up. (Read-Only's greyed out, of course).
Thanks for the tip.

How can I change the color of the font with the Property Inspector?

In Dreamweaver CS6, can one change the font color with the property inspector? How?
I don't know if I will automatically be notified when someone responds, and I don't want to be running back to this site every day to check. So if you have an answer for me, would you be kind enough to email me at [email protected]? Many thanks.

"Upgrade" and "improvement" are rarely synonymous.

There is still a font color button in DW. In the Properties window, click the CSS button in the lower left when you have text selected. There is a little gray square with a tiny black arrow in the corner for font colors. It still uses css, but will muddy up your text with inline styles which isn't generally the best way to do things.
One of the biggest advantages to using css is the ability to put all of your styles in one external .css file. That allows you to make a single change, to a color setting for instance, and have that change affect your entire site (everything you put a given css class on). As it stands, using the old html font-color attribute, or inline css forces you to go through the code with a fine tooth comb and change each individual setting.
CSS is a massive upgrade and improvement over the old method.
I would definitely suggest getting familiar with css, it really is required for any kind of modern website and ends up making your life much much easier while using the CSS Designer window in DW (which is where a lot of this stuff takes place now in a Design View development approach)...
http://w3schools.com/css is a good place to start.
