Turning off CSS in Dreamweaver 8

Hi all, is it possible to set Dreamweaver 8 to NOT automatically do CSS. I am setting up HTML emails and the CSS gets stripped out by GMail, so it needs to be the old fashioned <font> tags. At the moment I have to hard code the text bits.
Any help is welcome.
Thanks
Lee

Perfect, thats for that, I no longer have to try and remember html for years ago.
Many thanks
Lee

Is it possible to turn off CSS and design text with HTML only?

I'm trying to design text with HTML only ie: Font, Color, Size. The only method I'm aware of is to highlight the text and then go to Insert> Html> Text Objects. That method is tedious and time consuming.
I'm not looking for arguments or reasons as to why I should use CSS, I'm simply looking for a solution to disable CSS and design with HTML. I'm using Dreamweaver CS5.
Thank you,
Paul

Murphy,
Thank you for your response. I checked the preferences as you advised and could not find any option to turn off CSS. I don't understand why there doesn't seem to be a straightforward solution to this, it seems so simple. The reason is that the code will be inputed into an eBay listing and therefore CSS code is not supported.
Any other input for a seemingly simple yet complex solution to this is welcome and appreciated.

How do I turn off CSS Minify in DreamWeaver CS6?

This is very disruptive during site development. I've looked everywhere.

ST-
I got excited when I saw this:
(hmmmm for some reason I cannot attach the screengrab using Safari, even though it is a 450px by 400px gif. I can Choose it, but not Insert it. I'll upload it to the www. --that worked, see below)
I thought Use FTP performance optimization might be the culprit. It is not an option on DWCS3 which I have be using. But alas, turning off that Option did not solve the problem.
I am thinking I could use iShowU and make a screencast of how I am testing this.
1. formated file in DWCS3 uploaded = formated file on server.
2. formated file in DWCS6 is uploaded = minified file on server.
But I have a busy day and will have to do this later in the week.
Thanks again for your suggestions and comments.
PS
I first discovered this on a clients website that is hosted on anotherhost/server. I cross-checked it with a different client on a different host/server. That's three different hosts. (in trying to work with the mified style.css on client03, I completely screwed up the site and had to ask the host to reset the site to the previous day;s backup. Major bummer.)

Turn off CSS compile warning

Hi all,
How do I turn off the compiler warning about unused CSS
styles. I need the solution for both locally compiled SWF and those
compiled in Flex Data Services. flex-config.xml doesn´t have
the node option.
Thanks
David

Thanks Brent for your quick response. That works well with
the compile locally option. I found the solution if you are
compiling with FDS.
Its in the docs under:
Building and Deploying Flex 2 Applications > Building Flex
Applications > Flex 2 SDK and Flex Data Services Configuration
> Flex Data Services configuration
You can change the flex-webtier-config.xml file and turn the
production setting on, or use the queryString parameter
(showAllWarnings=false) if you are just testing.
Cheers

How do I turn-off the CSS rule dialog?

I would like to know how to turn-off the CSS rule dialog.
I support a user who has been using DreamWeaver for years and was recently forced to upgrade to the new version. None of the hundreds of files in the site he maintains use CSS. While I recognize it is a "better" and "more efficient" way to do things --- IF you're a sofware engineer -- it is not even close to being worth the cost to revise the entire site and retrain this user.
So, how can i turn off, not just the pop-up, but how I can tell DW to just go ahead and do it the old-fashioned, embedded in the HTML way of doing things?
All the user wants to do is change the color of some keywords, css is overkill when that's all he's doing.
We'd go back to the previous version except the office was forced onto Vista and the older version won't run.

ADDING FONT TAGS:
By David Powers from the help doc:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Dreamweaver/10.0_Using/WSc78c5058ca073340dcda9110b1f693f21-7ce ba.html
You won't see anywhere to enter such information in the HTML Property inspector. Dreamweaver CS4 does not support <font> tags, except in Code view. The W3C deprecated <font> tags ten years ago, so CS4 decided to get rid of them from the main user interface.
If you want to add styles to a short selection of text, you have two options:
1. Create embedded styles in the <head> of the page.
2. Create inline styles.
Both are done using the Property inspector in CSS mode (click the CSS button on the left). Select the text you want to style. How and where the style is created depends on what you select in the Targeted Rule field.
If you select <New CSS Rule>, you can then select the font, size, or colour in the Property inspector. As soon as you choose one of these, you will be prompted to choose a class name, and the location of the new style. To embed the style in the <head> of the page, select "This document only".
The name of the class will appear in the Targeted Rule field, and you can add other values to it.
If you select <New Inline Style> in the Targeted Rule field, you can apply any of the properties in the Property inspector. This wraps your text selection with a <span> tag that contains the CSS properties as an inline style, e.g., <span style="font-family: 'Palatino Linotype', 'Book Antiqua', Palatino, serif; font-size: 24px;">Styled text</span>.

Note: If you select text in Code view, you can apply font tags by selecting Format > Font from the main menu. This works only in Code view; selecting Format > Font in Design view launches the New CSS Rule dialog box.

Is it possible to turn off the fluid grid function in dreamweaver during the process of building your site by mistake? It was working fine and simply stopped and I don't see how to correct what is wrong.

There is no specific function that turns FGL on or off.
When you say that it has stopped, do you mean that the handles no longer show?
If that is the case, then I think you may have modified the CSS to such an extent that Dreamweaver no longer recognises it as belonging to FGL.
There are a couple of avenues for you
Redo the site and make sure not to touch the FGL CSS
paste the code here so that we can see what has gone wrong.

I have turned highlighting CSS settings from the code off and can't figure how to get it back?

I have done this a few times and don't know how to get it back or even the right term to google so thats why I am here.
You know where you select a div name or bit of code and it shows you it's settings under the CSS Properties.
Well mine don't change so I take it I have turned off some setting....can anyone tell me what I did and how to turn it back on for future reference.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for that reply Jon...that was fast.
I have the CSS Properties set to current.
When I used to select each div the properties would show for each one....I found that a fast way of working.
When I select a different Div in the code it doesn't change the values to that div.
See how I have the div activemainnavigation selected in the code and yet the summary for selection still shows the CSS properties of the footercredits div.

How do you turn off the "Update Template Files" dialog when saving a template in Dreamweaver?

As the title states I'd like to not have to see the "Update Template Files" dialog when saving a template. I'm not sure what its purpose is other than to annoy as it does not seem to do anything -- selecting update, don't update, any combination of files and or hitting escape appears not to make any difference wrt wheter it updates the pages or not (it does every time).
Any help will be appreciated.

The "more like this" window gave me the answers. No current ability to turn off. I've submitted a request to add this feature.

Horizontal spry menu style appears turned off when on the internet though can view it in live mode!?

The style of the horizontal spry menu seems as to have been turned off when on the web though is visible and functioning on CS4 Dreamweaver design and live views. I have styled the spry menu and can view it in the properties section though the style setting is there on the internet it looks as if the styles have turned off and appears unformatted vertically when it should be a cascading horizontal menu bar. Not sure where the error is, I have looked at the coding and as I'm not the most experienced with spry.....
this is the coding above the head.
<script src="../SpryAssets/SpryMenuBar.js" type="text/javascript">
<link href="../SpryAssets/SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />

</script>
I have noticed that SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css doesn't appear in the spry assets folder, does this matter? (not sure how to insert into the assets menu). Any help would be greatly appreciated!

thanks for testing it. I'm not sure how to proceed though as the css file is in my local_sites/spry assets folder for the website. I've tried to point it to other (copies of SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css) and spry assets folder externally from the site and again internally in the root folder and seems to make little or no difference.
Your suggestion of what it should read,(sorry to sound so naive at all this) though would you mind giving a step-by-step guide on how to go about it? as I'm obviously missing something in the setup process.
thanks again for your help.

How to make spry menubar top level only appear for browsers with java turned off

I was under the impression that just the top level of the horizontal spry menubar appears when someone with Java turned off views it...now I see that the entire unordered list appears vertically and takes up the whole page....is there a way to make just the top level menubar items appear when java is turned off in viewers browser?
Thank you in advance for any insight you can provide.
Lois

When you disable Javascript in your browser...and it is Javascript not Java... if your menubar is properly constructed, the submenus do not appear, only the top level menu items.
It sounds to me as if you are turning off style rendering in Dreamweaver itself, or have not properly linked your CSS stylesheet to your page.
When CSS is linked properly, the submenus are "hidden" with left: -10000px; (a BIG distance) offscreen to the left of the Viewport. They stay there unless Javascript is turned on. It is Javascript that "calls them back" onto the Viewport.
Give me a link, Lois, and I'll check into your page for you...

No images or CSS in Dreamweaver CC in LIVE

After switching from Dreamweaver CS6 to Dreamweaver CC all images in LIVE are gone. Even when I open a new page, and only add 1 image, nothing else, no CSS, and SAVE. I then select LIVE, the image shows a broken link. I turn off LIVE and I see the image again.
When I do have css linked, it also does not work.
I go back to CS6 and it all works great.
It is okay in Preview for Browser.
What am I missing?

Hi Mitchell,
We're looking into it, thanks for alerting us.

In a fixed-layout epub is there a way to turn off the faux spine effect for just one pair of pages?

I'm formatting a graphic novel as a fixed-layout epub. Because the pages are generated in Manga Studio with an intended print target, it by far makes the most sense to just use a single, large image for each page. I'm coding the .opf, .xhtml, and .css files by hand, and I more or less understand everything I'm doing.
Because the pages are often full bleed, I actually want the faux book chrome afforded by having <meta property="ibooks:binding">true</meta>. The shadow effect in the gutter gives a nice deliniation between the pages without me having to do anything additional with the formatting.
However... a handful of pages in the book are two-page spreads. These look good enough with the shadow spine in the middle, but they would obviously look better without it. What I'd like to do is identify these particular page pairs as two-page spreads and turn the binding chrome off for just that page pair. I could of course "fake it" by adding a shadow to the pages themselves (except the spreads) and turning off the binding chrome on the entire book, but it'd be a lot easier to be able to do it in software.
Apple's formatting guide mentioned nothing of the sort, and searching for a while hasn't turned up anything (not even anyone asking the same question so far as I can tell). I'm guessing this isn't possible, but it never hurts to ask. Anybody know of a way to do this?

Just found this... Sorry to waste the post...

How can I turn off the yellow pop-up tool tips?

Howdy,
I have searched high and low in the preferences and found nothing that does the trick. How can I turn off the yellow pop-up tool tips?
See attached screen shot. They are incredibly annoying. It's probably obvious, but I cannot find it anywhere on internets or this forum.
Thanks!

Thanks Nancy. Unfortunately that doesn't do it. I turned those off awhile back. Nor can I find anything under VIEW that seems to make a difference. Just FYI: I'm on a Mac OS w/Dreamweaver CS6 - but this has happened on previous versions of DW. Thanks again.
