Property Inspector - Missing

How do I load the Property Inspector? It was there, but now it is not. I checked Adobe help file. They talk about the P.I. and how to use it, but they do not say anything about how to load it back onto your window if it does not appear. (I even rebooted my system and reopened DW, still not there.)
Thanks.

Window > Properties
Almost all panels in Dreamweaver have an on/off toggle via the Window menu.

Property Inspector missing sprites tab. (Dir 11.5, OSX 10.8)

Property Inspector showing only Behaviors tab in Dir 11.5 and OSX 10.8.2. PI had tabs for Sprite, Behavior, Filter, Member etc in OSX 10.6.8 (and B4). How do I get those tabs back?

I know this is an old question, but did you ever find a solution? I'm having the same probelm with Director 11.5 and OSX 10.8.2. The Property Inspector is blank - no tabs for Movie, Sprite, etc...

The Property Inspector is missing the V Space and H Space fields in DW6 - where did they go?

I just downloaded DW6. The Property Inspector is missing the V Space and H Space fields, therefore I am unable to add space around my images. Suggestions?

It is no longer available because the problem with that was that it applied spaces around the image rather than where the user actually wanted them. You now need to use CSS and apply margins and paddings and target exactly where you want them by using something like this:
img {
    margin-bottom: 0;
    margin-right: 0;
    margin-left: 0;
    margin-top: 0;
    padding-top: 0;
    padding-right: 0;
    padding-bottom: 0;
    padding-left: 0;
img {
     border: 0;
     padding: 0;
The second style is generic to set margin and padding for all four sides.
Good luck.

Missing icons/buttons in Property Inspector

In my DW CS5 the icons under the panel menu in Property Inspector are missing when it´s docked, see the left image below. It doesn´t matter if the DW- window is maximized or not. But when I make the panel floatin the icons are there. I wonder if someone knows if this is a bug or what? It´s possible to hide/show the part of PI with more alternatives by double-clicking. But I prefer to use the white expander arrow as I´ve done in previous versions...
Does anyone have a clue?

Because those icons are located a fixed distance from the left of the Property Inspector, they only show when the tool panels that sit at the side of the Document Window (at least in my setup) are minimized, or when the PI is floating, as you mention.
I suggest you file a bug/feature report here: http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform, as the 'expand' arrow is definitely not available when it is hidden (perforce), and many times the Tool Panels will not be minimized and will hide the expand arrow.

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

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.

Help Getting CS6 DreamWeaver to Allow Me to Set HTML Settings in Property Inspector

Hi,
Another quesiton regarding table layout. As I often am designing email newsletters, I still need easy ways to set old fashioned HTML elements without messing with CSS (alignment, etc) - it just works better for me for email blasts to code in HTML, plus Outlook still doesn't follow CSS very well in HTML emails.
After moving to CS6 on a Mac, I can't get the property inspector to allow me to edit HTML Cell properties in the property inspector. Everything is grayed out. I'm sure this is some setting somewhere but I can't find it. In Preferences I do have "HTML instead of CSS" set. Note that in CS6 on my PC I AM able to edit these fields and change alignment and other cell propertie.s But, see below, on the Mac, everything is grayed out and I can't edit anything.
It's got to be a setting somewhere. How do you over ride CS6 insistance on CSS and HTML blocking and go back to ability to set HTML properties in the property inspector? There has to be something set different on my PC install than my Mac install but I can't figure out what, as I personally don't remember changing anything and both are brand new installs of CS6, and both are editing the same file.
HELP! Thanks!

Hi Nancy,
Thanks so much for the response, and I understand CS6 is more standards compliant, but they did NOT remove the ability to make these changes. You’re missing that I AM able to change and edit in the property inspector to my hearts content in CS6 on my WINDOWS install. See this screen shot – I can click in the property inspector for a cell and change alignment, etc, and CS6 happily makes the code (like it should) for me. But on the MAC, it’s grayed out per my original post. There is a setting I’m missing that I can’t find, or does CS6 Mac not work like CS6 Windows? Something doesn’t add up.

Hspace gone from Property Inspector

DW is pretty new for me; I've probably done this to myself somehow.
I'm following a lesson in a book and it shows an image selected and asks me to click in the Hspace box in Property Inspector and add 40 px. This makes perfect sense to me. I did exactly this a few weeks ago when we were learning how to insert images. Today Property Inspector doesn't seem to have an Hspace box. Or a Vspace box. Property Inspector seems to as well be missing a Border box, maybe an Align box under it (picture in book is very small), and some buttons to the right of Border (crop, brightness & contrast, sharpen) seem to have moved to the upper half of Property Inspector. Other parts of Property Inspector seem to be there. Map, Target, and Original show. I understand how to close the bottom half of Property Inspector, and I'm sure I have both halves open, because I can see (e.g.) both Src and Original at the same time. I also am sure I have an image selected (because I can see the name of the jpg file in the Src box).
I've been working around this by setting Hspace and Vspace directly in the code, which is okay, but it bothers me that a piece of the program just wandered off sometime when I wasn't looking.
I'm using DW CS6, version 12.0, build 5808, but I was seeing this exact same problem in CS5 (not sure of the exact version number; I was running it--badly--through Citrix).
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Ken Benson

HSpace and VSpace were deprecated with the CS6 release. They were in DW up to CS5.5.

You should be using CSS margin instead:

Lost buttons on property inspector in CS4

I was previously using Dreamweaver CS3. I am testing
Dreamweaver CS4 but I have noticed a few missing buttons on my
property inspector when dealing with regular text within a web
page. I do not see the align left, center, and right buttons.
Is there a way to add them to the property inspector so that
I can get to them faster?

The PI in CS4 is in two parts. Click the CSS button and you
will see =
the remainder of the buttons. CS4 now correctly uses CSS
values and not =
deprecated html tags.

Help! Can't paste into code view or property inspector

I'm experiencing a weird and extremely annoying bug in Dreamweaver CS6 -- I can't paste text from outside apps into DW's code view or into the property inspector (such as URLs).
Pasting doesn't work no matter the method: Ctrl + V, right-clicking or using the Edit menu. Pasting works normally in every other program. If I copy within Dreawmweaver, pasting works fine.
Does anyone have a solution for this? I'm running Win 8 and DW 12.1 through Creative Cloud. Searching the forums, I see others have reported the same issue. Some have been able to fix it by deleting the configuration file; that didn't fix the issue for me. I'd like to try reinstalling DW, but the Adobe Application Manager doesn't seem to allow that.
I began noticing this bug about two weeks ago. That might have been about the same time I updated to 12.1. Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Cory K.

Adding to my last post, I used a clipboard format inspector called nclip (http://code.google.com/p/nclip/) to see if I could find a pattern between "what works" and "what doesn't".
There are two cases where I'm seeing paste-into-Dreamweaver CS6 fail:
Paste into Code View fails, but Paste into Design View works!
Paste into either Code View or Design View fails
I went through the list of programs that worked and didn't worked, using nclip to show what clipboard formats were being saved from each working and non-working source. It appears that DreamWeaver CS6 as of January 9, 2013 doesn't accept the most basic text clipboard formats:
CF_UNICODETEXT
CF_TEXT
CF-OEMTEXT
CF_LOCALE
If these are the only clipboard formats used by an app (for example, Window's venerable Notepad.exe), Dreamweaver doesn't appear to handle them. Most programmer-style text editors output just these formats, because they are presumed to be understood any application that handles text. These fail for both pasting into codeview and design view.
Interestingly, Chrome browser fails the code view test, but it does work in design view! It outputs the four clipboard types above, plus one more:
Custom Format: HTML Format
Hypothesis 1: Any application that puts HTML Format on the clipboard will paste into design view, but not necessarily code view.
Next, Visual Studio 2010 and Sticky Notes, which doesn't include HTML Format as a clip type, works for both code view and design view. They both output this type in addition to the basics:
Custom Format: Rich Text Format
Two programs that output Rich Text Format without HTML Format are Sticky Notes and WordPad. These both work with Code View and Design View. From these limited tests on my system, it appears that for Dreamweaver to accept a text paste from an outside program into Code View, that program must output Rich Text Format to the clipboard. Otherwise, it fails. Dreamweaver will accept HTML Format, but only in Design View. Firefox is an exception in that it don't export Rich Text Format, but still works with Code View. It might use OLE, though (Chrome doesn't seem to use OLE, and it breaks in code view).
Hypothesis 2: Any application that puts Rich Text Format on the clipboard will paste into design view AND code view.
If Dreamweaver is really ignoring the basic text clipboard formats, and it's not just my system configuration, then this is a bug. Probably something that got overlooked in testing.
To reproduce on Dreamweaver 12.1 build 5966:
Try copy/pasting text from Notepad.exe into Dreamweaver Code View (DWCV). This fails for me.
Try copy/pasting text from WordPad.exe into DWCV. This works!
Try copy/pasting text from Internet Explorer 9 or Firefox into DWCV. This works!
Try copy/pasting text from Chrome. This fails to paste into Code View, but does paste into Design View
The Code View workaround:
Use Firefox or Internet Explorer for your browser if you're copy/pasting source code.
If you're working from another text editor, try copy/pasting into intermediate programs Sticky Notes or WordPad, then copy/paste from there into Dreamweaver.
So that is my experience on Windows 7 64-bit. Anyone else experiencing the same thing?

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.

Adding a custom field to the property inspector in JDev 10.1.3

Hello All
I have a requirement where i have to add some custom entries to the property inspector.Say if we choose a text field in html there will be some standard values in property inspector.Now i want to add my own custom entry always on selection of text field.
Or i am developing a custom editor and i always want property inspector to display some values on certain selections.
I already went through the code samples provided for jdev 10.1.3 but i couldnt find one for property inspcetor.I also went through the oracle.ide.* packages.Could someone provide me a class or method from where i can start ???
Thanks in advance !!!

I was able to find the ide.jar file which contains all the necessary oracle.ide.* class files.
I had another query....basically there are 2 kinds of packages of the form javax.ide.* and oracle.ide.*
So suppose im faced with the situation of say adding menu items and defining actions on them then i guess it can be done in 2 ways using classes in javax.ide or oracle.ide.Can you elaborate how i should choose between these 2 packages.
Is it if im using the <jdeveloper-hook> i shud use oracle.ide.* and the regular jsr 198 schema then the javax.ide.*
Kindly clarify !!!! Thanks in advance

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

When irregular things begin to happen in DW, it's usually caused by a corrupted cache file. Below you'll find details on how to delete it.

Dreamweaver Help | Set text properties in the Property inspector

This question was posted in response to the following article: http://helpx.adobe.com/dreamweaver/using/set-text-properties-property-inspector.html

The note at the bottom of the first section (About formatting text (CSS versus HTML)) says -
"You can combine CSS and HTML 3.2 formatting within the same page. Formatting is applied in a hierarchical manner: HTML 3.2 formatting overrides formatting applied by external CSS style sheets, and CSS embedded in a document overrides external CSS."
Please be aware that embedded CSS will ONLY override external CSS if the external CSS link is closer to the tag than the embedded CSS (i.e., it comes earlier in the flow of the document). If the embedded CSS comes first in the flow of the document, it will be overridden by the external CSS instead.

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.
