Validated CSS in Dreamweaver

Is there a way to make a css validated site in Dreamweaver
they way you can make one with tables using the WYSIWYG tool? Or do
you need to hand code everything using the xhtml and css?

The CSS that DW writes is valid CSS, so yes, of course you
can make such a
site in Design view. It won't be much of a site, however,
since using
Design view for everything will limit your flexibility. And
then you would
need to know what not to do in Design view, so that you don't
wind up in
dark, twisty passages.
If you want to only use Design view, DW may not be the
application for you.

  • Form validation without using dreamweaver

    Is there a way to validate an email textfield in a form without using javascript. I would continue using javascript for the validation except people are getting around the validation by disabling the javascript validation that dreamweaver cs4 supplies.

    You can validate your HTML at this link:
    <http://validator.w3.org/>
    And your CSS at this link:
    <http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/>
    Does this answer your question?

  • How to get externally made nav bar css into dreamweaver

    How do I insert 'purecssmenu' made nav bar into dreamweaver? I have a zip file with just the interactive nav bar in it. There used to be an insert nav bar but that seems to have vanished in cs6 presumably because Adobe want you to use Spry!!!
    I am completely new to this game but it is not helpful to be constantly told that you should learn coding.
    I just want to make 1 tiny personal site. Any constructive help would be very much appreciated.

    Sorry you're having such a terrible time not only getting the navbar to work, but interpreting the help here. (That's what it is... help, only you really didn't give us a lot to go on)
    You need to do one of two things if you'd like people to stop "guessing" what's wrong with your page.
    1.Upload your page to your server and post the URL here so others can download the source code and analyze it.
    or
    2. Copy and paste your ENTIRE page of code here so it can be seen, downloaded and viewed in someone else's Dreamweaver on their computer. Something like this:

    You owe it to yourself and your employer to learn HTML & CSS fundamentals before you monkey around with the company web site. 
              http://w3schools.com/
    Start by validating your code and fix reported errors.  You have an extra closing </div> that doesn't belong.  Also, ID names are unique identifiers.  They can be used only one time per page.

  • Disable css in dreamweaver CS4

    Hello to all, 
    I'm having problems with the new version of dreamweaver 4 that I downloaded from adobe and I'm trying. 
    In the previous version of dreamweaver cs3 (general), and in preferences could be disabled ing the use of css, using only the html tags for font type face and color, and retrieve the css classes only when they wanted.
    Now in the new version of CS4 but I can not find this option in the task bar properties as insert the font type and size, this also for other properties.
    You know where you can disable the exclusive use of css?

    Murray, I appreciate your expertise and helpfulness to thousands of people over the years.
    Same sentiments for David Powers.  Many thanks to you both over the years.
    As for the "clutter" of, for instance, Tables.
    I use tables only on rare occasions.
    However, your question: What browsers are you hoping to support by taking such a stance?
    HOPING TO SUPPORT?
    Oh, you know, the popular ones in some far-flung part of the world.
    It is simply that even the dumbest oldest browsers that are not sophisticated enough to apply CSS rules flawlessly are just smart enough to know what to do with old-fashioned inline styles, when used judiciously.
    I use inline styles on rare occasions when I have been made aware that this wonderful UNIVERSAL STANDARD of CSS styling is itself just as buggy as any other protocol.
    I have been designing since 1996. Been through all the browsers and platforms on the user side.
    I have been using CSS stylesheets for the last 10 years.
    As you well know Murray, a Google search will turn up countless, countless articles on how to HACK CSS.
    If CSS were so inviolate and perfect then why are people STILL having to write HACKS?
    HACKS FOR BROWSERS.
    So, the hacks are intended to "support" individual browser flaws, bugs, or outright refusal to conform to another development team's interpretation of a particular CSS "Rule".  Let alone the issue of the successive standards that ARE STILL being written to various flavors of CSS.
    THAT, Murray, is why sometimes INLINE STYLES, instead of "cluttering" code with a gazillion CSS hacks designed to "support" all the major browsers and versions of those browsers, it is beautifully elegant, beautifully simple, to "clutter" the code with an inline style.
    It is not my fault if this is made necessary from time to time.
    I have seen instances where one browser will apply a paragraph definition differently than another also popular browser. And in the middle of the paragraph is one element that you want to break with the parent but it keeps inheriting the paragraph properties in one popular browser. So, hacks have to be written to after even new divs, classes, id's are used to breka the inheritance just long enough to accomplish a visual change. Inline styling works just about every time, without an hour or two trying to hack the CSS stylesheet for every conceivable browser in this instance.
    Here is an example of CLUTTERING with INLINE STYLES right here in the Forum on the very page I am typing which is written by Adobe web design employees!
    In the present forums.adobe.com page I am in:
    Oh my goodness, <strong> KT Media </strong> --
    the lowest form of inline styling invented at the beginning of HTML
    and NOW you can apply a global, if you wish, definition of "<strong>"
    But, why didn't they give it a separate style class such as <span class="login-name"> ?
            <span>Welcome, <a title="Click to view your profile" href="/people/KT%20Media"><strong>KT Media</strong></a></span> <span id="jive-userbar-logout">(<a href="/logout.jspa">Log out</a>)</span>

  • Editing CSS in Dreamweaver.

    Well Im trying to edit a CSS document from a template. There
    is a bunch of sections and I need to find out which change what.
    Well I opened the CSS file in Dreamweaver but it doesn't allow me
    to view in browser... Is there something I need to do so I can see
    what I change on the template as far as colors in tables and
    such.

    A CSS file has no preview.
    You would have to open the HTML file in DW, and select the
    element you are
    interested in styling, then use the CSS panel in DW to see
    which rules are
    applying to that element.
    Perhaps if you post a link to your page, we will be able to
    help you better.
    By the way, such posts are better directed to the DW General
    forum rather
    than this one.

  • I think I've over rided the basic css in dreamweaver, is there a way to get back the original?

    For example, when I try to add a new menu bar, horizontal, it is actually a vertical bar. I'm not sure what I did but would like to reinstall? How can I do that without messing up my current sites and css? Thank you.

  • Viewing CSS in Dreamweaver...

    Hi All - I can't seem to view any of the css that's being
    brought in via a header.cfm, which is included in the
    Application.cfc when working in Dreamweaver. All works fine when
    previewed in the browser as expected. I've tried "live preview" (i
    think that's what it's called) and still doesn't work.
    This makes life hard for a designer...Any ideas?

  • Cellpadding with CSS in dreamweaver

    I'm stuck once again in the world of CSS.
    I have a table which I gave the ID "navi_table". I'm simply trying to give the cells inside that specific table cell padding. The other tables in the page should not be affected.
    How should I do this by using dreamweavers CSS panel?
    My poor attempt was to use an Advanced (ID, pseudo class selector) like this:
    #navi_table tr
    But it has no effect on the table. What am I missing and how should I correctly apply cell padding to that table using Dreamweaver CS3?

    You'd need to apply the padding to the table cell, not the row. So:
    #navi_table td { padding: 4px 6px; }
    ...or
    #navi_table th { padding: 4px 6px; }
    Also make sure not padding is assigned to the HTML in the table element.

  • Syntax Highlighting for LESS CSS in Dreamweaver CS5.5

    This article describes how to add the .less extension to Dreamweaver so that it views it as CSS and thus performs proper syntax highlighting.
    I'm using Dreamweaver CS5.5 and following those steps still doesn't work for me. It works perfectly fine in CS5 and earlier versions but not CS5.5.
    Do you have any ideas? I'm modifying the following file as the above link suggests:
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Dreamweaver CS5.5\configuration\DocumentTypes\MMDocumentTypes.xml

    No need to apologize. Preprocessing is a topic on which there are differing opinions. You have one. I have one. There are advocates:
    http://blog.urbaninsight.com/2012/04/12/ten-reasons-you-should-be-using-css-preprocessor
    There are those who are not sold:

    There are those mostly sold:

    There are even those who have been converted (but who might reverse at some later point):
    http://cognition.happycog.com/article/preprocess-this
    Heck, even I might be converted someday - or not
    Bottom line for me, right now? I know I can write CSS that is better than most, more efficient than most, and easier to follow than most, and a preprocessor would add unwanted complexity. But that's for me. For someone not able to be organized intutively, or for a large - but carefully coordinated - team, a preprocessor could be a positive.
    But not for me.
    There are evolving trends - popular aspects of the technology that may and should find themselves being adapted into CSS. But I've been around this business as long as CSS has. I've seen buzzwords and trends and I've historically been spot-on in predicting the one that will stick. I think preprocessing will stick - but only insofar as it will be a catalyst for features in future versions of CSS. As a separate technology it makes no sense - to me

  • Can't Edit Valid CSS/HTML page with DW

    I have a page that contains valid HTML and CSS but it is VERY
    hard to edit with DW-CS3. The formatting in design view looks
    nothing like the page when displayed in a browser. I can always
    edit the code directly via the code view but I have users that want
    to update the site using the design view. Maybe I don't have DW set
    up properly . Can someone take a look and let me know if this page
    can be edited? Will it require CSS changes ? Thanks in advance for
    any help.
    Here's a link to the page: www.nysga.org/indexnew.html

    Sure they do.

  • Form Validation against database - Dreamweaver CS4 Spry

    Hi all,
    I'm trying to figure out how to implement a form validation
    of some fields, let's say a username. I have a form that inserts on
    MySQL table, and when the user is typing the username, after it
    looses the focus on field, validate it if there is a record on
    table with the specified username. If so, validation will fail.
    I already saw something similar with this on Dreamweaver MX
    using some extension (because at that time, it did not support
    ajax).
    Kind regards, and thanks in advance.

    I don't have a solution, but you may try posting in the Spry
    Forums, you might get a better response.

  • 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

  • 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.
    Cheers – Marc.

  • Center CSS in Dreamweaver

    Following the advice from a friend, I used www.psd2cssonline.com to create a website as I have never used CSS before I thought it would be a good starting point.
    The site is now finished apart from one detail. everything is aligned to the left and I want it to be centered. I have done tried to adjust the code myself but all I have managed to do is align the text to the centre ha!
    I would really appreciate any help that can be offered - I have provided the code from Dreamweaver for the whole thing if needed.
    Regards,
    Kyle Meredith

    Here's an example from one of the templates that Come with Dreamweaver...  You'll notice the "text-align:" is centered.  This will center everything, so in the next block, which is for the container where you place all page content sets "text-align:" to left so all text within the container is aligned to the left.  Something similar should work for you.
    ========================   Copy  ==========================
    body {
        font: 100% Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
        background: #666666;
        margin: 0; /* it's good practice to zero the margin and padding of the body element to account for differing browser defaults */
        padding: 0;
        text-align: center; /* this centers the container in IE 5* browsers. The text is then set to the left aligned default in the #container selector */
        color: #000000;
    #container {
        width: 780px;  /* using 20px less than a full 800px width allows for browser chrome and avoids a horizontal scroll bar */
        background: #FFFFFF;
        margin: 0 auto; /* the auto margins (in conjunction with a width) center the page */
        border: 1px solid #000000;
        text-align: left; /* this overrides the text-align: center on the body element. */
    =====================  end  ========================
    Hope this helps.
