Split View - Highlight code Problem

Hi All,
just installed new DW-CS3 and i am a bit puzzled.
In previous version (DW8) when you work in two window mode
and you click on the design part object or even a tag, it auto
selects that part in code view.
CS3 does not seem to be doing that and its really annoying!
Does anyone have the same problem?

What is your OS? I used CS3 on Mac/WinXP/Vista, and didn't
have that
problem.

Split view inside code?

I need help with the Dreamweaver code view... I'm sure it's
possible ( if not with an addon), to split the code view window
into two windows one on top of each other as most code environments
allow. Why? I'm a developer and need to reference multiple
locations on a single file... say I have code near the top of the
file that I need to reference for later use... this is what I
need... Any help would be great.

Viewing source code problems please

as you can see below my statement isn't showing me all the code... I need it terribly how can I run this to view all the code...
Thanks

SQL> SELECT TEXT FROM ALL_VIEWS WHERE VIEW_NAME = 'MY_BUD_SPENT_LEFT';
TEXT
SELECT A.IPB_CODE IBP_CODE
, MAX(IPB_DESC) IPB_DESC
, MAX(NVL(A.BUDGET

I should perhaps say that this is the approach that I used to take (obviously if the view sql is longer you may need to increase the setting), but there are far better ways of getting at the view SQL without having to write a query, e.g. using a tool such as TOAD or JDeveloper.

DW code view custom highlight color from design view (split view)

I would like to change the "Code view" highlight color from it's default to something more contrasty ... so while using "Split view" - when I select an element in "Design View" the corresponding code in "Code view" would be easier to find ...
Anyone knows how to customize this setting wit DW CS5??
Thanks!

DW Code View uses the Selection colors defined for your Operating System.
If you don't know how to change that, which OS and version are you using?

Cs4 dreamweaver suddenly crashes when selecting code/split view

i have looked around and found this issue in older posts from 2008 but have not found a resolution. i've had dw cs4 for mac for a several months and all of a sudden it started crashing when i select code/split view.
i have:
deleted prefs
deleted config folder and .dat file
started up in safe mode and new user mode
no other issues with any other adobe apps or crashing in general
have plenty of memory
got rid of extensions
i feel like it is a corrupted file that is doing it unfortunately i dont have my original disk on hand to reinstall right now (purchased cd instead of download). UGH!
i'm running: snow leopard / 10.6.4 / 2x2.66 ghz dual core intel xeon / 7gb memory
here are the first few lines of the same error code:
Exception Type: EXC_BAD_ACCESS (SIGBUS)

Have you done a complete uninstall, clean up, and then reinstall? - Sounds like that's the only thing you haven't tried, so I'd try that next. Yeah, I know... a real pain. The sort of thing we on the PC side have to deal with far more often unfortunetly ;-/

Aperture Split View Problem

The vertical photos in the split view bar at the bottom have all switched from being displayed normally to being rotated and showing squashed and distorted.
I have tried to close and re-open Aperture, and I have also restarted the computer. The pictures are distorted whther they are in the Grid view or Filmstrip. I also tried to "Update Preview", but it tells me that it is up to date.The horizontal/landscape pictures are showing fine, the problem is only with the vertical/portrait pictures in the Split view.

Select all the ones in one Project and run "Photos→Generate Preview". Does that work?
"Update Preview" changes to "Generate Preview" when "{Alt}" is pressed.

Split view pausing when updating code

HI, I love split view, can live without it, but in the latest version 5 and up, it seems when i change the code in code view side, the wysiwyg side pauses for a few seconds to update what i've changed, almost flashes asif reloading, maybe it is, but it seemed to do this more seemlessly, I could go back and forth and updates were instant. I am not in live view, that takes even longer when changes to the code view are done.
Just curious is there are ways to speed this up, or anything anyone has run into that causes the split view window to pause when changes are made.
It only happens, in split view, and i update something in code view, even just text <p> and when i click back to the wyysiwyg side, it pauses for a few seconds before reflecting the change.

Yes, same scenario, when I click back to design view, it usually updates quickly, but now it takes 3-5 seconds before it refreshes. It's noticeable, and hard to work with when I am updating alot of content peices,
I've tried other sites thinking maybe it has something to do with related files or something, but same thing, Its noticeable, but I can't seem to figure out when it started or why. Been using split view since it was available, always quite fast... I don;t have any data connections, or testing servers setup that could cause lag. I hope its a simple toggle of something I inadvertently toggled?

Dreamweaver 8.0.2 -- code view is totally screwed, so is design view. Split view works fine.

I just started having an extremely annoying issue in DW8-XP.
The code view is completely messed up. I can switch to code view,
but nothing is there. Just a ghost of the split view I was just in.
If I open a new file (like css file) in code view, I see a ghost of
the last view. Since css files don't have a split or design view,
I'm screwed. Cannot firgure out how to delete the config file. Do
you think this would help? Would it erase any settings I have
currently set?
I tried switching to a default layout, restarting and all. No
luck. Little help? :D

Restart the system.

How I activate, when in code view current code line, to be highlighted (all line) eg light-blue ?

How I activate, when in code view current code line, to be
highlighted (all line) eg light-blue ?

Actually, in Windows (XP) the highlight color (in DW8) is a
byproduct of the
color scheme you set for your desktop.

Can you set DW to always show split view?

This is not a major problem but an annoying thing and I can't seem to find. I almost always work in split view - never design view. Yet DW seems to default to design view. Even if I have previously edited a page in split or even code view, the next time I open that file (if I have closed and opened DW in the meantime) it opens in design view.
I tried making a custom workspace that included viewing files in split view but sure enough whenever I re-open DW any files I open are once again displayed in Design View.
Anyone know how to change this?
Thanks!
Ellie

>>I tried making a custom workspace that included viewing files in split view but sure enough whenever I re-open DW any files I open are once again displayed in Design View.
Yes, the same problem started in CS4-Mac for me.
Just for kicks, I opened my custom workspace a moment ago. I then opened a document to split view, then resaved that setup as a new custom workspace.
Upon reopening Dreamweaver the next time, it remembered my split view setting. However, the time after that, I was back in Design view.
This seems to be pretty buggy.
Hopefully someone will post a solution.

Remote images not showing up in design/split view

Just recently, whenever i updated the image location from the
local site to the remote site path, the images don't get loaded
into dreamweaver how it used to.
i'm not sure if i unchecked something. the paths are correct
and they show up when i preview in browser so i know it's not that.
if anyone can help with this it will be great. thanks.

Do you have spaces in your image file/pathnames?

DW9 (CS3) split view not work with ASP files?

I just installed and ran DW CS3 (ver 9.0 bulid 3481) -- I use
"coder" view for the screen layout. I like the split-view style
since I code inline HTML with my ASP and ASPX code. However, the
new version has the split-screen view button grayed out. How do I
enable split view when I edit files that are not just ending in
"htm" or "html" extensions? If the Adobe programmers made an
ASSumption then they need to issue a patch and remove it pronto. I
do not want someone else making decisions on how I do my work...I
get enough of that from Microsoft already, I do not need it from my
tools also. Please forward this to the developers if there is no
way to change my preferences, otherwise please tell me how to edit
a config file or hex-edit the executable to get this funtionality
back. TIA!

I still can't figure out why the split view or design view is
grayed out and not accessible when editing files with an .asp or
.aspx extension and it is driving me crazy! I called the support
line and got someone in India who didn't understand my problem. 30
minutes later I finally got her to agree to transfer me to
secondary support but they were busy and she promised me they would
call the next day. That was over a week ago. I didn't even get a
voicemail, even though I stayed by my phone the whole day. I see
that support for DW under Adobe is no better than it was under
Macromedia...how sad. Microsoft Expression Web is looking better
and better every day....... :(

Dreamweaver CS3 Split View Issue

Hello All,
I just got the new dreamweaver CS3 and when working in split
view nothing is refreshing correctly. What I mean is, if I click on
some text in the design portion of dreamweaver to try and change
the font, css assignment, or whatever I cannot. I have to click on
the text, hit refresh (f5) and then the correct information in the
properties panel shows up. I have the same problem when selecting
something in the code portion of the split; it does not select the
portion in the design section. What is the deal? Dreamweaver 8 did
this fine.
Anyone else have this problem?
Alex

What OS? Does the problem happen with all files and all
sites, just some,
or just one?

DW CS5 crashes when switching to split view

I have just checked other comments in the forum but none seem to really fit the issue. The moment I use the code for a page and switch to split view, DW crashes. It works perfectly with smaller HTMLs (e.g. HTML emails) but starts playing up as soon as I try to work on the code for a page.
Any solutions.. ?
Thanks!

This is a long standing bug, that for some reason Adobe can't seem to fix. It started with CS4, and remains in CS5. Typically when looking at certain .aspx pages, when switching from design view to split view Dreamweaver will crash. Anyway, thanks to some investigation back in CS4, and a keen Dreamweaver user (jplaguna) we can all get back to working normally. I thought I would repost this for anyone struggling with the issue.
The problem is with Dreamweaver's "Translators" - whatever those are? Anyway, you simply rename that folder and your problems go away.
Sorry to hear that you've been having this problem. I'm glad that you found a way to work around the problem.
Translators are the code that recognizes certain pieces of server-side code so that you can select and manipulate them in DW. Turning them off disables features like Server Behaviors. Also, you can be more strategic by simply renaming the Translator for ASP.Net here:
c:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Dreamweaver CS4\configuration\Translators\ASP.Net.htm
Rename it to something like:
ASP.Net.disable_htm
Then you'll need to restart DW. This will disable the Translator for only ASP.Net, not all of the other Server Models.
Can you post a .zip file with a page that causes the crash? I didn't see one in the original forum thread.
Hope this helps,

Split View - Design side jumps

I've come to the conclusion that the most exhausting part of
working with Dreamweaver is chasing down my previous location on
the Design side of the Split View after making a code change. What
is it witth that? Example: If I select an area on the design page,
go into the code side and, say, change a local style cattribute (or
do just about anything for that matter) the page in the Design area
jumps to the bottom of the document. I'm tired of having to scroll
back to where I was every time I make a change in the code. I've
been dealing with this forever and just wrote it off as a quirk but
I need to know: Is there a way to fix this?
Thanks.
Cayce

The settings you removed are NOT DW's default settings. In
other words, the
only way that *.htm and *.html could have gotten into the
Open in Code View
field would be if you had put them there.
