Viewing CSS fomated pages in Design View DW MX 2004

I am using DW MX 2004. I have imported a new clients site and
am trying to view the pages in DW. The web site is completely
formated using CSS. When the document is opened in DW I do not see
any of the page. The page views fine when previewing in a browser.
How do I get the css to execute/render in DW MX 2004s design view?
Thanks in advance for any help!

Cannot view body of page in Design View with PHP

Hello, I hope some one can help me. I have a website that I
am working that I am unable to view the body of the page in Design
mode. This is a php file. I can preview the page fine by pressing
F12, so it appears PHP is installed and my test server is working
fine. Also my manager is able to view the body fine, so it appears
that only I am affected. Both of us are using Dreamweaver CS3. Is
there some setting on my local copy of Dreamweaver that I can
change to make the page appear?

This is a php file.
If the body of the page doesn't display in Design view, it
means that
your include files contain html, head, and body tags. Include
files
should contain only the code that you want included at that
point. So,
inc_header.php should contain only the div or other code that
displays
the header - and NOTHING ELSE. The same goes for
inc_footer.php.
When the page and the include files are combined, they should
have one
DOCTYPE declaration, one html tag, one head, and one body.
Think of them
as pieces of a jigsaw. On their own, each element is
incomplete, but
together they make a complete picture with nothing left over.

How to view semantic css based layouts in design view in dreamweaver?

Hi all,
I havent had a lot to do with CSS based layouts (tables have alwasy just worked for me fine) but I am wondering how do I view the semantic/css based layout in design view in Dreamweaver?
As when I write the code, in design view its not showing me what the page will look like, I have to click on "Live View" to see what the page actually looks like.
I guess I am asking is there a way to using WYSIWYG on css layouts in design view??? Just like I do table layouts (In design view I can grab the edge of the table and resize etc)?
Any help would be great

Lou yeah I don't think the term WYSIWYG really applys to dreamweaver anymore when building CSS layouts.
The term "WYSIWYG" never applied to DW. It was never such a thing, nor was any other HTML authoring, no matter what the marketing hype said. It's not possible to deliver wysiwyg layouts when there are so many different browsers/platforms/versions to worry about. This is particularly true when you go back to the era when WYSIWYG was actively used (but not with DW, which was not advertised in such a way) - Netscape 4, and IE5/Mac would alone be enough to destroy any layout....
The view you are getting in Design view is happening because your CSS is misplaced BELOW the <body> tag - it should be in the head of the page (i.e., above </head>). Your CSS should never be placed within the body of the page.

How to add addtitional pages in design view?

How do I create additional pages in design view? I have tried using NEW PAGE AFTER, but that doesnt add another page in design view, like I need.
I am creating a report that uses 8 subreports per page to dynamically create labels. Currently I have a report header, and am using the page header to arrange the subreports so the top of each subreport prints on the top of each label. The fields in the subreports can grow, and fill in the label from the top down.
I need to create a multiple pages using this format, but I dont know how to add more pages in design view. Essentially I need subreports 1-8 on page 1, 9-16 on page 2, etc. I would like to preserve the formatting I have created thus far, but I can always change it if I have to.

In attempting to create the label sheets I needed, I ended up creating 14 separate reports (which report on 6 individual queries), because there are 14 pages worth of labels that need to be created. What I wish to accomplish is to condense these 14 reports down to 6 reports. One for each query. What I absolutely cant find a way to do, is to get Crystal Reports to allow me to customize subreports on consecutive pages. Again, I have 8 subreports on each page, which have been formatted to fit on 8 labels when printed. Each subreport is identical in design, but has a different range selected (i.e. my driving value in each subreport has been modified with Select Expert to be between 1 and 5, or 6 and 10, or 11 and 15). This is how I have been able to return 5 consecutive results on each label, with the next label returning the following 5 results.
My ultimate question: Is it possible to create a multi-page report using this method?

Can't see my page in design view, usind split screen

Hi everyone, I am new to these forums and new to dreamweaver,
I have a problem which I have no idea how to fix.
I have been using the program (in my limited ability) saved
my work, then when I opened it today, I have no design view in Code
and Design view. The top part is fine but all I have is lots of
lines at the bottom.
The actual website seems fine, but just means I can't make
any changes other than in code view, which I a not skilled enough
to do.
Please help.
Regards

There are a lot of problems with this page!!
You will need to clean up your code! You have invalidly
nested tags, empty tags, unclosed tags!

Spry UI 1.7 slideshow images cascade down page in design view

When I put in the Spry slideshow all the images go down the page in bullets. It works fine in the browsers, so it is no problem. But... it is SO annoying because I am trying to finish off the page and do some stuff under this slideshow but i can see there. So it has messed me all up because I am not good at just hand coding the website... I have to do a little of both... Others have kind of suggested to just live with it... but I just cant

The only reliable view in DW is the Live View. Design view is OK for very simple layouts and documents. As soon as it becomes more complicated, then you cannot rely on design view.
And even though Live View can give a better picture of what you are doing, you must always check your design in all of the target browsers.

Problem Viewing HTML coded website in design view

Hello,
I've got a functional website I coded (using an html text editor) for a customer some time back that he wants to be able to edit. He doesn't know code, so we got Dreamweaver.
The problem is, a lot of page elements simply won't show up in the Design view (though they do when viewed in a browser). I suspect it may have something to do with older nested Table tags I used, but neither of us is very interested in me rebuilding the site from scratch (which is largely what we were trying to avoid).
The extra odd thing, though, is a lot of the code in question DOES display on the index page, but not on secondary pages, even though it was copy/pasted in the first place.
The website in question is http://ckski.com. The index page shows up fine. (http://ckski.com/Pictures/GoodPage.jpg) On secondary pages, the only thing that shows up in the Design view is the banner image at the top of the page. I get a gridline for the main table structure, but no content (only some errors indicating some extra </td> and </tr> closing tags) (http://ckski.com/Pictures/BadPage.jpg)
View Source should work to check the code, but I can provide anything else that might be needed, such as the CSS page.
Thanks!
Travers Jordan

Code errors are responsible for 98% of rendering problems. Your pages lack a valid doc type declaration which puts them into quirks mode.
On line #1 in code view, change this:
     <html>
to this:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
At least that will give you a fighting chance of validating without errors. Use the online code validator below to check for other errors in all your site pages.
     http://validator.w3.org/
Incidentally, asking a non-coder to use Dreamweaver is form of punishment.   Basic coding skills are necessary to get the most out of this product.   Anything less is going to result in frustration and confusion.
It's worth noting that DW is NOT a WYSIWYG editor. Design View is at best, an approximation of what you can expect to see in some browsers. For best results, use Live View in Split View and edit the code.

How to view correct image dimensions in design view?

I am new to Dreamweaver cs6. In previous version, the dimensions of an image is directly reflected in the design view. Now it doesnt appear to do so. Does anyone know if there is a setting to fix this? It looks fine when I preview in the browser, but I'd like to see how my page elements fit together in the design view. Any suggestions?

Here is the code for a similar example:
<td width="409" height="37"><img width="409" height="1" border="0" style="display:block; line-height:0;" src="http://offers2.compuware.com/rs/compuware/images/spacer.png" alt=""></td>
Although the height is set to 1, it is showing a height much larger than that (in both the design view and browser preview)
Thanks! I really appreciate the help.

Code view not in synch with Design view (Dreamweaver CS3)

Hello All,
On my main work PC, I am running Dreamweaver CS3. When I am
working in split view (with both Design and Code view visible) when
I click on an element (say, a button) in Design view, the code view
automatically shows me the code for the element that I am working
on. That way, if I need to manually edit the code, I can click on
the Code view and make the appropriate changes.
On my laptop I am also running Dreamweaver CS3 However, when
I am working in split view and I click on a element in Design view,
my code view does NOT update itself and continues to show the last
bit of code I was working on in Code view. While this could come in
handy at times where i want design view and code view to show me
two different things, I mostly would like code view to update
automatically. Currently the only way I can get code view to update
on my laptop is to hit the "refresh design view (F5)" button. Is
there a way to do this automatically? Is this an option in
Dreamweaver preferences because I don't see it anywhere.
Thanks so much for your help.

No. If you feel that it's an important enhancement that you

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?
