Se80 layout design: view context properties slow to update

In the view layout designer on the properties of each UI element, for. e.g, when I change a status by clicking a check box property on 'active' or 'hide/show' properties, the UI takes a while to synchronize and update its status changes.
If I move the mouse to another dependent property or a drop down, the changes are not reflected.
Does the sapgui need tuning? I have a powerful laptop with 1.5Gig memory and processor intel core duo at 1.8 Ghz.
Sapgui version is 7100.1.0.3050 and backend is WAS release 700 SPS 11.
Do you have any idea?

Hi there,
one of my colleagues is facing the same performance problem. It happens that he waits up to 5 minutes for the SE80 to react on a single click on of of the UI elements. The performance at runtime is quite good, but only the development seems to be slowed down.
I was wondering if anyone has experienced the same problem and has found a solution by now. It is quite urgent and most of all it makes the development really annoying. We're working on a 7.00 System with patch 13 btw.
Many thanks in advance.
Sebastian
p.s.: No there is not any SAP note, there isn't some help entry and as far as I searched this seems to be the only thread about this problem.

Layout / Design View questions

This is the sort of thing I've wondered about before, but
would really like to get to the bottom of.
Sometimes things seem to go a bit funny in design view -
although the page will display correctly in a browser - but can
anyone let me know if there is something not quite right somewhere,
or if it actually really matters?
As an example, I've posted some screenshots on the link
below. The only difference is that the 'footer' div has been added
to the second page. They're both fine in the browser, but as you
can see from the screenshots, the first is fine in design view, but
the second (the bottom two screenshots) it all looks wrong.
Basically is this anything to worry about?
Even if it isn't, it is a bit annoying, as from a design POV
it's good to see things as they should be!

My second question is about TD widths - in these pages I have
a wrapper div set at 780px, and in the table containing the
navigation, they navigation buttons/graphics seem to need to be one
px narrower than they actually are (54 instead of 55px etc) in
order for them to line up to the total 780px, as per the screenshot
below :

If anyone could shed any light on any of this it would be
greatly appreciated.

No its nothing to worry about.
I don't know what version of DW you are using but all
versions up to
2004 didn't handle css that well.
I believe DW8 has improved. However having said that I have
found a lot
of the time that it also has a lot to do with how you write
the css. I
can't believe version 8 can possible cover all eventualities
so it
probably still shows the odd thing or two incorrectly.
Personally I never had much trouble with DW04. It works
pretty well with
the css I write.

Yeah it does get a bit annoying but you have to work through
it.

I don't think this web thing is totally precise and sometimes
you have
to 'hack' it to do the job. Usually if thing are a px out I
don't bother
unless it screws the design up in too mmnay browsers.

10G: design view cannot display a UIX update page

I get the following error message when I try to display a page in both Design View and Preview View:
Required page property "key" missing. Cannot display page.
This is the same error message I get if I run the system and try to access the page directly and bypass the view page where the user selects a row of data for update.
Does this mean that any update page such as this one cannot use the visual editor?
Steve

Thanks.
It looks like the design editor runs the code. I noticed that it even fills in the fields with data from the database.
Since it does that, it would need a key on the update pages to know what record to display.

My 'Design View' has stopped working in CS5. How can I get it functioning again?

I've looked through the existing topics and couldn't find an answer.
I hadn't made anything in DreamweaverCS5 for a a few months, but when I went today to create a new HTML document, I couldn't do anything in 'Design View' . I have not changed anything with the program at all. I still checked Edit>Preferences>File Types/Editors and .html is not listed for 'Code View'. The 'Split' and 'Design View' buttons are clickable, but when I click in 'Design View' the Properties Inspector grays out. I also can't type anything into the field. There are two icons at the top, one for the meta tag and the other for the title tag in the 'Code View'.
I haven't the slightest idea as to why this is no longer working. This has never happened before. I did nothing but create a blank document. I'm on a PC. Any help with this would be extremely appreciated.

And just like that, I figured it out.
For some reason, the 'head content' had overtaken the 'Design View'. I clicked the down pointing arrow on the grayed out Properties Inspector just to try something else, and also to see what was hidden. When I did that, the top part of the 'Design View' peeked out a little from under the 'head content' area. I enlarged the 'Design View' field and realized what was going on. I still have no idea why that happened on it's own since I've never enlarged the view for 'head content' before. I actually usually don't have it enabled. I guess it's like a lot of people complain, Design View is quite buggy.

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...

Dreamweaver is pretty good these days at showing the page in Design View how it will be viewed when online. HOWEVER having said that it does largely depend on the way you write the css.
I guess for Dreamweaver it's impossible for it to show every concievable way you can write css correctly. Unfortuantely if your css is not compatible with what Dreamweaver likes it won't make a great job of rendering the site correctly in Design View, that's always been the case.
The css is not wrong but I've seen many display issues in Dreameaver Design View caused as a direct result of the css being overly complex to crack simple presentation. I guess it's in the lap of the gods if you are fortunate enough to have found the way to write css that Dreamweaver likes.

Design view of CSS layout is innacurate

Hello all -
I'm beginning to redraft my company's hompage using a full
CSS layout instead of our current nested table layout. Since I need
to ensure that other staff members can edit pages freely - and I'm
the only person comfortable doing straight code - it's important
that the design view is as accurate as possible.
When editing in Dreamweaver 8, my three column layout (a left
table of contents, a center content column, and an additional
content right column) breaks so that the table of contents
dissapears. Some people have spoken with have suggested that my
problem might be the negative margins I'm using to position the
floated columns that form the meat of the page.
You can view the page here:
http://www.southernenvironment.org/test/home_redraft.html
The CSS is here:
http://www.southernenvironment.org/test/style_redraft.css
In addition, the header navbar also appears strangely. In
Design View, two word titles (ie. "Our Programs") break on to two
separate lines, instead of staying in one line as they do in
browsers I've tested.
The frustrating thing about this is that my design seems to
work in most browsers - but without a somewhat accurate
representation in Dreamweaver, I won't be able to sell the idea of
a standards-based revamp to other staff here.
Any ideas?
Matt

Your CSS is not tight enough to get accurate columns. You
shouldn't try to
define the columns with the body tag. For a purely CSS site,
you really find
out why the code is called 'cascading' styles. They cascade
all right. We've
just finished wrestling with a similar re-design with CSS and
the order of
how tags and files come into play is very important.
We have defined the body tag with background color, 0 margins
and font
family, color and size only. Header/footer and columns are
defined by ID.
The three "content" columns are within a page container,
header and footer
outside the page container. How these elements are placed is
important, as
they cascade.
We use 3 linked main css files, 1) Page Layout (3 or 4
different options) 2)
Page presentation (all text styles) 3) Page menu styles (only
menu styles).
They are in that order, as the only body tag is in Page
Layout.
If a page has a watermarked background we import the code
just for the
watermark.
This is not true for the home page, but all other pages in
the site.

I hope this helps.

Custom Components and Properties in Flex Builder Design View

How do I create a custom component with custom properties
that renders well in Flex Builder design view?
This is a simple HelloWorld example of what I am trying
below. Here is the HelloWorld.mxml file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Canvas xmlns:mx="
http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
width="500" height="500">
<mx:Script><![CDATA[
[Bindable]
public var message:String;
]]></mx:Script>
<mx:Label x="100" y="100" text="{message}" />
</mx:Canvas>
And then when I use it in another mxml file, the design view
does not show the label with the 'Hello World' value - instead it
just shows {message} in design view where the label is located.
When I run it as a compiled app in flash, the 'Hello World' is
displayed correctly:
-- HelloWorldTest.mxml --
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Canvas xmlns:mx="
http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
xmlns:views="mypackage.*" width="500" height="500">
<views:SimpleLine message="Hello World."/>
</mx:Canvas>

design view does not do any variable assignments or function
evaluations, so you won't be able to see it even if you don't use a
custom component.

Need to refresh design view to see properties

When I click inside some text in DW CS3 the properties and
CSS don't update
to reflect the new cursor location until I press F5 or click
"View" and
"Refresh design View". Is there a setting somewhere to let it
automatically
show the properties of the current cursor?
Thanks,

How to view semantic css based layouts in design view in dreamweaver?

Hi all,
I havent had a lot to do with CSS based layouts (tables have alwasy just worked for me fine) but I am wondering how do I view the semantic/css based layout in design view in Dreamweaver?
As when I write the code, in design view its not showing me what the page will look like, I have to click on "Live View" to see what the page actually looks like.
I guess I am asking is there a way to using WYSIWYG on css layouts in design view??? Just like I do table layouts (In design view I can grab the edge of the table and resize etc)?
Any help would be great

Lou yeah I don't think the term WYSIWYG really applys to dreamweaver anymore when building CSS layouts.
The term "WYSIWYG" never applied to DW. It was never such a thing, nor was any other HTML authoring, no matter what the marketing hype said. It's not possible to deliver wysiwyg layouts when there are so many different browsers/platforms/versions to worry about. This is particularly true when you go back to the era when WYSIWYG was actively used (but not with DW, which was not advertised in such a way) - Netscape 4, and IE5/Mac would alone be enough to destroy any layout....
The view you are getting in Design view is happening because your CSS is misplaced BELOW the <body> tag - it should be in the head of the page (i.e., above </head>). Your CSS should never be placed within the body of the page.

Design view not showing in fluid layout

I can not turn on my design view, only live view is showing

CC2014.1 and later no longer have a Design View while using Fluid Grids. This has been discussed here at some length, in multiple threads. If you would like to get Design View back, you can add the X shown below in your fluid grid's .css file...
    Dreamweaver Fluid Grid Properties
    dw-num-cols-mobile:      X 4;
    dw-num-cols-tablet:        8;
    dw-num-cols-desktop:    12;
    dw-gutter-percentage:    25;
=====================================
Close all other files first. Make the change, then save and restart DW.

Live View worse than Design view, both bad, CSS & layout not applying

Howdy,
So I'm trying to do some work on the the page seen here:
http://www.juniper.net/us/en/products-services/network-management/
(I've attached a screenshot of it.)
I view the source for that page and copy it into a new blank page in code view using DW CS4.
I copy all the relevant related files, as far as I know, including at least all the CSS and image files.
I view the page in Design View, and some of the styles, primarily on the text are clearly being applied. The layout, though, is all wrong, with the navigation spread out over the top without any text styling or background images, tho a few other images do show up (one in the header area and some in the body, ones that should all be about in the same directory), and the content area pushed waay out the right.
Live View is even worse, no styling at all on any of the text, and it doesn't seem to be able to locate any of the images, so it's all plain default HTML-styled text.
This is a fresh installation of CS4.
DW 8 seemed to have a similar problem rendering this layout in design view, but appplying a few design-time stylesheets, ones that should have been applying, but somehow weren't, seemed to do it, or at least pretty close. That same strategem did not seem to work here. Plus, doesn't the fact that the correct stylesheets show up as "related files" in the related files bar mean that DW knows about them and are/should be doing its level best to be applying them already?
I'm not sure how much more I can share, but does anyone have any thoughts about how to make DW render correctly?

So here's a little more info for a more complete picture of the problem...
I do have access to the original CSS, JS, and image files...When I said that I copied all the files that I believe to be relevant, I mean that I downloaded all the files from the \assets and \shared directories from the content management system, which should contain all the CSS, JS, and image files that the page uses.
When I view the file into which I saved the page's View Source on my testing server via an actual browser window, the page looks as expected.
So, to sum up:
All the support files and "related files" seem to be in place.
When viewed through a browser fed by a web server, the file/page looks as expected. Checked in Firefox v3.5.3, IE 8, and Chrome v3.0.195.24.
When viewed in Design View, the layout looks wonky, some of the styles seem not to be applied to the navigation/header area (notably, I guess, the positioning of the navigation and content area relative to the navigation, as well as some of the text styling on the navigation), and most if not all the styling (text formatting, layout) seems to be applying in the content area. The Related Files bar seems to list all the expected related files.
When viewed in Live View, no styling is being applied anywhere. Live View is based on an integrated WebKIT browser, so it should render most closely to Chrome, right?
I know little to nothing about relevant web server configuration. Could it be possible there's some web server configuration that's set up on Juniper's web server that Dreamweaver doesn't mimic, at least by default? Are there web server configuration settings for the integrated Live View "server" that I could check?

Design View - Slow

Greetings,
I am running XP SP2, fully patched. Intel Core Duo with 2 GB
Ram.
I am running Dreamweaver MX ver 6.1 (ran updater to go from 6
to 6.1).
What I have noticed is that as I add to and modify a page,
Dreamweaver slows down.
Also, there is not a lot of pics on the page, but there are
quite a few links. It gets to
a point where it takes a minute or so to open the page in
design view. Click to insert
and type something and it takes 10 to 15 seconds to show up.
The page really is
quite unremarkable and I have tried several things to fix it.
I tried copying the contents to
another file, but the other file has the same problem. I have
this problem on another website
I handle and its on a recipe page. No photo's but lots of
links.
This is driving me nuts, and I would appreciate any ideas
(No, purchasing the newest
version of Dreamweaver is not an option right now).
BTW, open the file in code view and it is quite snappy.
thanks in advance.

Darryl,
Much better. Not only does it load faster in DW, but it loads
faster in
the browser, too!
There is still a lot of unnecessary whitespace in the file.
If the page
is too big to apply source formatting to the whole thing, you
can select
sections and "Apply Source Formatting to Selection". Or maybe
use
find/replace and replace 10 spaces with 1 with "Replace All"
several times.
HTH,
Randy

Layout Problems in Design View

Our wedsites use server side includes that control the way
the page is laid out. My design view is not laid out the way it
should be. If I go to the preview, it is perfect, but from the
design view in Dreamweaver things are out of order. My navigation
menu is hanging over my text, and I can't seem to get it to
properly lay out on the page. Does anyone know how to fix this? I
can email a copy of the page view if anyone wants to see it.
Thanks!

DW is perhaps confused by your doctype which seems to be
suggesting both
XHTML Strict and XHTML Transitional -
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict"
http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
I would say fix that, and the other validation errors from
http://validator.w3.org first,
and then we'll look at the page again.....

Design view not showing actual layout

I have a test page where I have a navigation div element
created and it floats to the left. When I preview the page in IE,
this navigation div element shows up as it should on the left part
of the page but in the Design view of Dreamweaver CS3, the nav
element box is centered and it makes it difficult if not impossible
to type my content in because the nav box is sitting dead in the
middle of the page where the content is supposed to go. Please
help.

Let's see the page's code, please. Can you post a link to it?
