Vertical Lines or Guides in Code View

Hello:
Am I missing a setting in DW or did they just not include this. I am used to seeing vertical lines in code view to note where the beging of a tag originated. For example if I put a <TD> tag somwhere in the document and move on down the code line, when I finally put the </td> tag there is a vertical line leading up to it.
Any help or advice on this would be very helpful.

@pmsquillace : definitely! I am dying for vertical grid lines. Dreamweaver, this is a must. This feature is needed greatly. I just looked for yet another time to find a plugin for Dreamweaver to get vertical lines but 0 results.
Now I have realized my own best option is to use the pixel ruler . It can be a lesser substitute which I an now going to use as needed.
@John Waller : I am submitting a feature request right away. Thanks for the link.

Vertical lines, like a bar code, only when scanning or copying. Printing from computer is OK

I get vertical lines , in black & white & color, when scanning or copying.
When I print from my computer, all is OK.
The lines resemble a full page bar code. I have done a cold reboot & run the HP trouble shooter, all to no avail.
I do not see a bright light during scan or copy. Could the problem be a burnt out bulb?

Hi @TAEZZAR
It certainly could be a the scanner bulb. Do you have the printer connected directly to a wall outlet or is it in a surge protector or power bar? Even if you have been using a surge protector/power bar all this time and you feel it is not the cause, please connect it to a wall outlet just so we can eliminate the power source as the root cause. Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector
In this document you will see, ISSUE: Problems or issues may arise when an HP LaserJet series printer is connected to an uninterruptible power supply (UPS), a power strip, or a surge protector
^ This is not limited to Laserjet printers.
Let's perform a hard reset. To do so, leave the printer on and unplug the power cable for 1 minute. While it is unplugged, hold down the power button on the printer for 10-15 seconds to release any built up power, then after the minute has passed, plug the printer back in.
Also, please click the link below to ensure the printer has the latest firmware update. This firmware update can improve printer performance and fix miscellaneous defects.

Squiggly line under markup in code view?

Hi,
Sometimes when using DW I get the following as depicted by the screen shot :
Does this mean tags are not matching ( opening tag not matching up with closing tag? )
The strange thing is when I close the file then re-open it the "squigglies" are gone.
Anyone know what this means?
Thanks,
Jim

Well I didn't say your markup was wrong. I just think DW "suggests" that it could pose a problem in some older browsers.
Not sure why the hint would disappear once the file is closed and reopened though. Come to think of it, I dont notice it in some of my projects anymore either. Maybe by default it closes after a certain time or action(closing and reopening).
Someone else here might have more insight on this.

Is it possible to change color on the line strip/code view in CS6?

Hello -
I did some research on this and cant seem to see if this can be done - I was hoping to change the color of the blue line menu on the code view screen.
Eric

I take it you're referring to that vertical line in the left hand side of Code View? I don't think it's possible to change the color. If you disable line numbers (#), it's a bit less noticeable.

DW CS6: Extra empty blank line in code view causing trouble!

Hi all,
I searched for hours for a solution to the following problem, without any success.
When coding in Dreamweaver CS6 (Version 12.0, Windows 8.1), an extra non-editable blank line is automatically added at the bottom of the document (in code-view). This is a nice feature, since it clearly separates the end of the document from the rest of the DW user interface. BUT:
WHEN you have "Word Wrap" disabled (i.e. horizontal scroll bars appear if one or more lines are longer than the current view),
AND no line is actually longer than the view (i.e. NO horizontal scroll bars),
AND you click somewhere into the document while the vertical scroll bar is at the very bottom,
THEN the code view jumps one line upwards causing a selection of 2 lines.
This might not seem to be a big issue at first glance, but surprisingly often all of the mentioned conditions are met.
Is there any possibilty to somehow get rid of this problem?
Note: The problem does not occur when any of the above conditions is false.
Cheers!
CamelCase

This is strange...
Yes, I just updated DW to 12.03 a minute before I posted the question. ;-)
Are you sure you cannot reproduce it? Is there a blank line at the bottom of your editor as well?
Here are the conditions again:
Word Wrap is disabled.
No line too long for vertical scrollbar to appear.
Scroll fully down in the code view.
Click somewhere into the document.
Effect: The view jumps exactly one line upwards (such that the mentioned blank line just disappears), and instead of a blinking cursor, two lines are selected.
Here is a screenshot before/after the click:
I appreciate any help. Really, thank you!!

How can I remove the blue vertical stripe in Code View?

I am using Dreamweaver CS5.5. When I open a document in Code View, there is a blue vertical stripe on the left of the document. This blue stripe bothers me when I try to concentrate on my work and I would like to remove it. Is there a way to do this? Is it a bug? Please help.
Thank you!

Funny - until you mentioned it, I had never noticed that it was even blue, and I'm in Code view 24x7!
You can try turning on line numbers (VIEW | Code View Options > Line Numbers) - at least that will put something else in that vertical bar that is useful.

Thousands of blank lines in code view? Where did they come from?

I have an older DW site, that for some reason when I open certain pages in code view show literally thousands of blank lines. So line 1, code, line 2-15 are blank, then what used to be line 2 of the code, is now line 16. All the way down the line. This one page literally has THOUSANDS of blank lines in it:
Aurora Prom Corsages, Boutonnieres, Flowers, School Dance Flowers-Yorkville, Osego Illinois
page renders, edits and looks fine in DW, browsers, etc.
My client edits it with Contribute. I use DW.
There are certain pages he opens regularly, never saw the lines, other pages, just opens once a year, lines all over again.
We can't find any rhyme or reason to it.
Has anyone ever seen this?

Try opening one of those pages in DW and then go to Commands > Apply Source Formatting and see if that cleans them out.
I've heard of a bug where adding html comments can cause added blank lines in certain versions, I've never seen it myself though.

Code view line height

I am on Mac OS X Yosemite using DW CC 2014. Code view is set to Source Code Pro. The problem is that line height in code view is smaller than the font height -- or something like that.
This screenshot demonstrates what I mean. Look at these characters: {,},y,g and see how they are cut off at the bottom. I've tried to fix this by changing fonts but most other fonts show the same problem. Changing font size in DW preferences also does not fix it. I tried changing the Source Code Pro set altogether using Suitcase Fusion. That did not help either. When I try to use Source Code Pro in other apps it works fine. So this seems to be a DW-specific problem.
Any ideas?

Hello Almir,
The issue is due to missing fonts: Tahoma and Verdana. We have a bug logged for the issue and will looked into.
Kindly follow the below workaround till the issue is fixed.
1. Launch Font Book from /Applications/
2. If Tahoma and Verdana fonts are disabled, enable the fonts
Or if the fonts are missing, install the fonts.
3. Launch Dreamweaver
Let me know if the workaround is able to fix the issue for you.
Regards.

Change line height in code view?

Hello,
Using DW8. In code view, I need to use a large font size but
in so doing the lines are very close together. Is there any way to
adjust the line height of the code?
Thanks.

If you referring to the actual text of the web page, yes. For
example, in a
paragraph:
p{
line-height:1.5em
If you're referring to the code editor, I don't think there
is.

Suggestions - Vertical Ruler or the ability to set horizontail guides for various view ports.

The suggestion link seems to be broken so I am posting here in hopes someone will see it. Edge Reflow would benefit greatly from the addition of a vertical ruler. Unless this is a view aready that I am somehow missing. Also it would be cool to be able to set a horizontal guides in the canvas grid (DOM). This would help in allowing the user set a guide for multiple viewing areas.
And the pie in the sky, Santa Claus Christmas list of all request would be the ability to "blend" break points. It would be cool to set a 2000px view and a bookend break-point at 1024px, work both compositions to the desired look and have a "blend tool" that scales all the elements to the desired look form 2000px to 1024px.

Hi Bobby, thanks for the suggestions!

Line breaks in code view

I'm using Dreamweaver in 90% of the time in code view, and there is one thing I dont like and I can't seem to fix it.
When I have a log text the text breaks at the end of my screen and continues at the next line, instead of giving me a horizontal scrollbar at the bottom of the page.
Is there an option to make this happen?

Dreamweaver has two types of word wrapping in Code view: hard wrapping, which is off by default, and soft wrapping, which is on by default.
Soft wrapping works like a word processor by moving text onto the next line when it reaches the right border, but does not insert a newline character. To turn off soft wrapping, go to View > Code View Options, and click Word Wrap. It's a toggle on-off option. With a check mark alongside, it's on. Just click to remove the check mark and turn off soft wrapping.
Hard wrapping, by the way, is in Preferences > Code Format. It's not recommended, because it breaks JavaScript.

Dotted lines for tab indents in Code View

Does anyone know how to whip DW's code view into the current century? I Specifically showing tabs in code view. Other IDE's have a great way of showing tab indenting with subtle lines. DW's approach is heavey handed and garish. IMO it's unusable in it's current form. See comparison below.
Is there a plugin, xml hack, or hidden preference that would allow me to achieve something similar?

Try opening one of those pages in DW and then go to Commands > Apply Source Formatting and see if that cleans them out.
I've heard of a bug where adding html comments can cause added blank lines in certain versions, I've never seen it myself though.

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

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

Qosmio G30-137 - Video card issue - the vertical lines bug

Hi members,
today my Qosmio G30-137 started making troubles showing vertical lines which look like this:
After using product recovery disk Windows was unable to initiate first start and came up with a bluescreen with the error-code:
+page fault in non-paged area STOP 0x00000050 (0xC09C3044, 0x00000000, 0X804DA90AA, 0X000000002)+
This basically indicates that memory - either RAM, L2-Cache or Videomemory died. But i also learned that the graphic card can be smoked.
After the blue screen you wont get the system into normal working condition, no matter what you try.
I would strongly advise to check if your Qosmio is under warranty and see your dealer for exchange. Fortunately i bought mine 2006/06/06 so its still under warranty (even if just a view days left).
Additional information: another member of this forum had a similar problem and reported that the whole motherboard has to be changed which causes cost of USD 700.00 and up!
I will let you know what i ended up with.
BRgds
The Q

Unfortunately, this sounds like a serious hardware issue as the other member suggested, the GPU (graphic card) could be faulty and therefore the replacement is necessary.
The point is that the GPU is soldered on the motherboard and its not possible to remove the graphic chip from the board. In most cases the whole motherboard must be replaced to solve such graphic problems.
In my opinion you should contact your ASP as fast as possible.
The technicians should be able to help you explain the whole situation and you issue and ask for the further handling.
Good luck buddy

DWCS6 - can't edit in Code view {subject edited by moderator}

In the split view or the design view, I can edit text anywhere on the page but when I click on the code side the text is grey and line number bar turns blue. Is there a way to turn the editing back on in the code view? Working on a PC with a document created on a mac.

No, it won't let me edit in the code at all.
