Source code jumps around when re-opening page?

Is the following a common problem with Dreamwver CS4 Source Code view?
In an effort to make the code read nice and neat, like everyone else I try to indent and nest my code. For example:
<div>
          <ul>
                    <li>one</li>
                    <li>one</li>
                    <li>one</li>
          </ul>
</div>
But, upon saving a file and then later reopening it, I notice that in places the file does not keep my intended spaced nested layout i.e. the code jumps around on a line and I lose my neat indent spacing. For example:
<div>
          <ul>
      <li>one</li>
                    <li>one</li>
                    <li>one</li>
             </ul>
</div>
I have tried to set my preferences > code format > tab size to 10 to produce a larger indent which has improved the problem a little but not fixed it.
Others must have experienced this frustrating problem.
Is there anything I can do to fix it, like set further preferences to give me complete control over the page?
Thanks in advance.

Oh can it? I will look into this thanks Ken.
With regards the CSS, I found out about it on Lynda.com training videos.
- Dreamweaver CS4 with CSS Essential Training > Chapter 13: Testing and Deploying CSS > Formatting code for deployment
The process is as follows:
On Dreamweaver CS4 click Edit > Preferences > Code Format > CSS (button)
On the CSS Source Format Options screen, de-select the "Each property on a seperate line" check box and click "OK" and then "OK".
Then on your CSS page, in the left side panel, click "Format Source Code" and the "Apply Source Formatting" selection.
The code will then condense for deployment.
You can reverse the process just as easily going backwards.
If anyone else has any ideas on code jumping around on a line please do let me know. Thanks.

  • When I open Pages from the dock, the page comes up but immediately hangs up with the

    When I open Pages from the Dock,  the page comes up on the screen but immediately hangs up with the rainbow circle spinning.  I finally have to force quite to make it go away.  It does not ask me to choose a template.  This is sporadic, sometimes working, sometimes not.  What is going on?

    Helo,
    Did you try to delete Pages' preferences file(s) in the folder your-user-name/Library/Preferences ?
    There are one or more (depends on your OS X version) file like "com.apple.iWork.Pages.plist"
    You can also repair permissions with Disk Utility in the folder Applications/Utilities.
    Choose the hard drive were Pages is and click the button "Repair permissions".
    Or you can re-install Pages.
    Hope this will help.

  • When I open Pages the template chooser doesn't open even though i have chosen that in preferences

    In Pages preferences, I have chosen to open the template chooser window, but for some reason when I open Pages, it continually opens in a finder type window and I have to choose "new document" and then I will get the template chooser window...is this correct?

    Thank you so much, Picas!  I was going crazy thinking I had corrupted some preference...I am new to Macs!

  • When I open pages it scrolls through various numbers of blank pages with a line at the side, then stops at a document, but usually an old document. I have to  go to "open recent" to get on the page I want.

    Hi
    When I open Pages it scrolls through numerouss blank pages with a line at the side 1st, then settles on an old saved pages document.I then have to go to "open recent" to select the one I want. Why?

    No
    It's the 1st version of Pages I've had on my computer.
    Can't delete them as they scroll through them at a rapid pace. The longer I've had the problem the more blank pages it scrolls through.

  • When I open pages, it immediately hangs up and I have to force quit.

    When I open pages from the dock,  the page comes up on my screen but immediately hangs up with the little revolving circle.  I have to force quit finally to get the page to go off my screen.  This is sporodic.  Sometimes it works and sometime it does not. 

    The Problem Report which I had was: "Pages quit unexpectedly while using the SFWordProcessing plugin".
    I'm using iWork '09 in OSX Lion 10.7.4
    Here are all the things I tried:
    Deleting preference files
    Deleting iWork Pages caches
    Restoring preferences from yesterday's version in Time Machine
    Finding the SFWordProcessing plugin in HD/Library/Application Support/iWork '09/Frameworks
    Restoring the SFWordProcessing plugin from yesterday's version in Time Machine
    Using Disk Utility to repair permissions (none needed)
    Using Disk Utility to verify the HD (no problems found)
    Scanning the HD for malware with ClamXav (none found)
    Showing package contents of Pages and restoring items from yesterday's versions in Time Machine
    Opening Pages (successfully) from another user account
    The problem occurred after trying to open (convert) a 125-page MSWord document. Pages appeared to hang but was just slow. After opening the file Pages did hang. I right-clicked on the Pages icon in the dock and, seeing 'Application not responding' selected 'Force Quit. Thereafter I had the problem with Pages hanging on opening. I then moved the MSWord document to another location while I discussed with the trusted colleague who'd e-mailed it to me what to do with it.
    Eventually, after trying all of the approaches above (mostly suggestions from Apple Community help pages) I somehow stumbled upon what was causing the problem and how to clear it...
    In Finder pull down on the 'Go' menu
    Select 'Go to Folder'
    Type in ~/Library/ which takes you to your user Library (a hidden folder)
    In my user Library I found a folder called 'Autosave Information'
    Delete anything in this folder associated with iWork Pages
    Voilá!

  • When I open pages all the text is in spanish. It was in english

    when i open pages all of the sample templates are in spanish. they were in english last time i opened pages

    It is not Spanish, it is Latin, and it is placeholder text in the template. You click on it, it is selected and you type or paste substitute text which replaces the sample shown but keeps the same styling.

    Pages, Numbers and Keynote won't update.  App Store says update was applied, but when I open Pages/Number/Keynote, the version of  it shows the old version.

    When you updated, the old version remained on your Mac, in a subfolder within Applications named iWork '09.  Any icons you have on the Dock still point to that old version.  Try opening the Numbers that is located in your main Applications folder, not the one in the subfolder. If that works, then drag that one to the Dock.

  • Touchpad pointer jumps around when connecting to HDMIt

    Greetings,
    I have been using the HDMI port of my Macbook pro retina for 1 year with my samsung LCD,
    and yesterday while im connected through the hdmi my touchpad
    is completely erratic, jumping around and self clicking.
    Before i had no problem!
    when i disconnect the Hdmi cable everything is fine again.
    Pleast help, any ideas why suddenly my touchpad is behaving like this?
    Many thanks,
    Nico

    There are several possible causes for this issue. Please take each of the following steps that you haven't already tried until it's resolved. Some may not apply in your case.
    1. Follow the instructions in this support article, and also this one, if applicable. A damaged or defective AC adapter could be the cause, even if it's the right kind.
    2. Press down all four corners of the trackpad at once and release. If there's any effect, it's likely to be temporary, and in that case the unit must be serviced or replaced.
    3. Open the Bluetooth preference pane in System Preferences and delete all pointing devices other than the trackpad, if applicable. Disconnect any USB pointing devices. By a "pointing device," I mean a peripheral that moves the cursor, such as a trackpad, mouse, trackball, or graphics tablet. A plain keyboard is not a pointing device.
    4. Start up in safe mode and test, preferably without launching any third-party applications. If you don't have the problem in safe mode, but it comes back when you restart as usual, stop here and post your results. Do the same if you can't start in safe mode. If there was no difference in safe mode, go on to the next step.
    5. Reset the System Management Controller.
    6. If you're using a Bluetooth trackpad or mouse, investigate potential sources of interference, including USB 3 devices.
    7. A swollen battery in a portable computer can impinge on the trackpad from below and cause erratic behavior. If you have trouble clicking the trackpad, this is likely the reason. The battery must be replaced without delay.
    8. A defective peripheral device or a damaged cable can cause the built-in trackpad of a MacBook to behave erratically. If you're using any wired peripherals, disconnect them one at a time and test.
    9. There's also a report of erratic cursor movements caused by an external display that was connected but not turned on.
    10. If none of the above applies, or if you have another reason to think that your computer is being remotely controlled, remove it from the network by turning off Wi-Fi (or your Wi-Fi access point), disconnecting from a Bluetooth network link, and unplugging the Ethernet cable or USB modem, whichever is applicable. If the cursor movements stop at once, you should suspect an intrusion.
    11. Make a "Genius" appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine and/or external trackpad tested.

  • Why does text box move when I open pages doc on my friend's mac?

    Hi Everyone,
      So I have this very vexing problem with pages. I have been trying to collaborate with a friend of mine and everytime the pages document moves from one computer to the other the text boxes move terribly out of place. So for example, I will make a document and format it perfectly on my computer. Then I will email it to her (or put it up on dropbox or yousendit or zip it and email it) and without fail when she opens it on her computer the text boxes have moved and the document looks horrible, all my design work is totally wasted. The same thing happens if she starts a document on her end and then gives it to me.
    Does anyone have any experience with this? Any suggestions?
    Oh and by the way we are both running OS 10.8.2 and Pages 4.3
    Thanks in advance!

    Hi Swati,
    That was a shot in the dark. I remember that the now obsolete MacDraw would reset its margins to suit different printers. I had the thought that because Pages page layout seems similar to MacDraw, it was doing the same. I don't have a printer, so my print settings don't tell me much. Maybe Page Setup or the Print dialogue?
    Let's hope that someone else has more ideas.
    Regards,
    Ian.

  • Why do all my documents open when I open Pages?

    Hello Apple!
         My problem is regarding pages. Every time I open pages, whether im choosing a document or just choosing the Icon to begin a new doc., each and every of my previous documents open as well.  I have never had this probem before with the same computer and it started not to long ago. Im writing this question because this problem is becoming quite annoying now and I would like to know what to do in order to fix it. Thank you very much! Cheers!

    There is a manual solution and an automatic one. The manual solution is to Close your documents when you are finished with them rather than leaving them open. The automatic solution is to go to System Preferences > General and check the selection "Close Windows when Quitting an Application".

  • Why does a loading bar appear when i open pages? it does not go away and does not allow me to close the app while it is up.

    when i open my pages app a loading bar appears and cannot be removed. i have waited two and a half hors for whatever it is to load and i finally just had to force the program to close through the activity monitor. But this problem persists... every time i open the app the loading bar haunts me. i can still edit the document but the loading bar is still "layered" in front of the open app. my final question is, how do i get rid of this loading bar and what is it for?

    Gabe,
    It sounds as though Pages is trying to resume editing a bad document, or a very large one. Quit Pages, Force Quit if necessary, and then start it up again while holding down the Shift key to prevent reopening formerly open documents.

  • Are we allowed to use the Web developer function in Firefox version 5.0 to edit the html source code associated with the Firefox home page?

    Locking at request of OP - https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/844506
    Are we allowed to use the Web developer function, under the "Firefox" tab in Firefox version 5.0, to edit the html source code associated with the Firefox version 5.0 home page ( so that we can personalize the home page )? Is this legal?
    Sincerely in Christ,
    Russell E. Willis

    Solution: (Free Download Manager)
    Go here: http://codecpack.co/download/Free_Download_Manager.html and download Free Download Manager 3.8.1067 Beta 3, it works perfectly with Firefox 5.0.1
    Solution: (to Google mail aka Gmail)
    I have had this problem for a while since I did a previous Firefox update, where I had to force Gmail to load in Basic HTML else it's next to impossible to use it. The solution is this: simply update your Java, and Gmail will work without a problem using Standard HTML. To update your Java go here: http://www.java.com/en/ and select "Free Java Download".
    And beta normally, universally, means "the not quite there yet version of the version we're aiming for" NORMALLY used during production and testing of a type of software.
