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?

Design View Problems in Dreamweaver CS3

Hello folks,
I've been having design view issues in Dreamweaver CS3 on my
Windows XP 2002 SP2 computer. When placing library items in tables,
the library item will disappear from design view, and sometimes
columns or rows in disappear as well. The code remains unaffected
and the pages appear okay in all browsers, but not having preview
working correctly is definitely a disadvantage. Has anyone else
experienced this problem and, if so, do you know of any fixes?
Many thanks!
Brooke

This is nearly diagnostic for an improperly made Library
item.
Do your Library items contain <html>, <head>, or
<body> tags? Do they
contain CSS rules?
If not, can you show us a page that is doing this for you?

Viewing CSS at properties bar

Hi everyone
My problem (well not a problem but) with Adobe Dreamveawer is viewing css styles at properties bar. At Adobe Dreamveawer CS3 you could see the background, font type, color etc in short as you designed. This useful function is seems disabled or hidden. I have tried to view all help files and didn't find anything. Does anyone knows how to resolve this issue? Thanks for replies.

In the CS4 Property Inspector, you have two buttons: HTML and CSS.
http://forums.adobe.com/servlet/JiveServlet/showImage/2-2032992-5277/property_inspector_12 0dpi.png
You can view either CSS or HTML (but not both) at any one time by toggling these buttons.
I am not a fan of these buttons. I'd prefer to see both CSS and HTML info next to each other simultaneously.

Hierarchy Viewer CSS issue

Hi,
I have a Fusion Web Application in Jdeveloper 12C that gets the colors and skinning from a CSS file.
When i add:
af|dvt-hierarchyViewer
    background-image: -webkit-linear-gradient(bottom, #FFFFFF 0%, #000000 300%);
    background-color: currentColor;
    background-attachment: scroll;
to my CSS file and run my application, the Hierarchy opens with a grey colour but then it flashes back to the default light blue gradient of fusionFx-simple-v2.desktop as soon as it tries to fetch data.
But if i change these settings on the Hierarchy itself, the colour changes to the grey and it stays grey.
Any help with this will be appreciated

Duplicate Hierarchy Viewer CSS issue

Centre not working in Dreamweaver Design View (CSS+HTML)- Preview OK- help!

Hi there
I am having a slight problem with DW which I have had before, and fixed, but I cant for the life of me remember how I fixed it. So any help is much appreciated.
I am producing a proof site for a client and cannot load it to be live just yet so sorry for any inconvience but I have taken some screen shots and will paste code/html.
The site is currently sitting like this in the design view of DW
[IMG]http://i1200.photobucket.com/albums/bb323/SKH_Design/Picture1-1.jpg[/IMG]
Which it usually doesnt.... its usually centred within the design view!!
this is how it sits in the preview
[IMG]http://i1200.photobucket.com/albums/bb323/SKH_Design/Picture2.png[/IMG]
My main page container is margin left auto and so is the margin right.
(please excuse my experiment with the drop shadow behind the main container)
please excuse me if anything is messy, im pretty new to this!!
Thanks, Sarah

"<body leftmargin="float">"
Can you say what that's doing? "float" is not a legal value for the leftmargin style, which requires an integer value. But its use is deprecated in favor of CSS anyhow.
Your pasted code is lacking a doctype or anything that would normally be above that stylesheet link. Is that just an oversight or is it really not there?

Dreamweaver cs6 View CSS

as the title says i am having a problem with CSS pages in DWcs6
i don't know how to enable it (the split and the design buttons are greyed out)
any hints?

CSS files contain text only instructions for formatting HTML tags.
There is no Design or Split View for CSS files since there's nothing to see other than text.
Open a HTML or PHP file which is linked to the CSS and you can then see the effects of the CSS on the web page.

Cannot view css styles in design view

Is there a way to get Dreamweaver to display style in design
view when the css files are in virtual folders?
Have tried using ASP (Vbscript) snippet to write in the
server URL and using Liveview, but still doesn't display. It
appears that DW only recognizes hard coded relative links or hard
coded full URLs.
Browser displays these documents with no errors.
Please Help! I have users who will be confused attempting to
edit the documents without visible style, and need to use the
virtual folders.
Thanks.
Sean

Try using Design Time Stylesheets.
Open the Design-Time Style Sheets dialog box by doing one of
the following:
1. Right-click in the CSS Styles panel, and in the context
menu select
Design-time, or
2. Select Text > CSS Styles > Design-time.

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!

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:

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.

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.

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

Sorry, Al, but I couldn't disagree more. Where I respect the fact that, as coders, we're rather ingrained with our workflow processes and, at times, hesitant to change, I've found LESS' benefits to be very worthwhile.
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:
http://blog.millermedeiros.com/the-problem-with-css-pre-processors/
http://www.skybondsor.com/blog/css-preprocessors
There are those mostly sold:
http://css-tricks.com/musings-on-preprocessing/
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

Unwanted table borders? View css file in CS6?

I have just upgraded to InDesign CS6 and want to use the epub feature to convert existing InDesign documents to pubs. I want to tweak the css file, but I must be blind because after I export it to epub, all I see is the epub file. No css file.
I tried changing the extension to .zip, but when I use the Archive utility to unzip, it hangs up and I have to force quite. (OSX 10.8.1)
I exported the InDesign file to HTML and can view it that way. However, the css says my table has no borders, yet they appear in the epub file. So maybe it's not the css, but something in the InDesign file?

On a Macintosh, you need to use a script to uncompress and recompress the CSS file.
Unzip and Zip EPUB files safely with these AppleScripts ...
You could also use a utility like BBEdit or a program like Dreamweaver or Oxygen Author to edit the EPUB components.
Sounds like you need to learn a little more about creating EPUB from InDesign. Two best choices:
Ebooks from Elizabeth Castro:
Formatting ebooks - EPUB Straight to the Point - Elizabeth Castro
Or videos by Anne-Marie Concepcion on Lynda.com.
