Visual aides in code view

Is there a plug-in or some other way for Dreamweaver to highlight closing tags for any element?
Indention is nice but when working on longer pages or more complicated pages, trying to 'eyeball' where the closing tag is for a particular div can be maddening after it's all said and done.
Notepad++ is great as I'm sure many others whereby when you click on a div, for instance, a vertical line appears and both the tag you clicked and its closing tag are highlighted.
Just wondering if there is anything like this where internal or via plug-in that I haven't found?
Thanks

Just wondering if there is anything like this where internal or via plug-in that I haven't found?
Not that I'm aware of.
The best tool in the DW coding toolbar for this is Select Parent Tag.
It's useful but, as you've mentioned, not as useful as Notepad++ with its vertical line and instantly highlighting the closing tag.

PNG Semi-Transparent background shows up with visual errors in code view in Dreamweaver CS5

Hi,
I am using an image as a visual divider between blocks of content for a template that I am making. The background is a PNG image with varying amounts of transparency. This background is set to be at the bottom of the div and creates a horizontal line. Everythign works out when the page is viewed in browser, and also in live-view inside dreamweaver. But once I view it in code view, the lines turn into jagged green distortions. I asked friends to run this in their dreamweaver and it is happening to them as well. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

I guess you're referring to 'Design View'.
Design View is only more from a reference perspective - it doesn't render graphic elements the way it is supposed to, always.
But, you did mention that it looks just fine in Live View, right?
Btw, can you post the CSS rule you've applied to this DIV where you add the background image for the separator line?

DW acting strange - does not go to code view

My Dreamweaver CS3 has started acting strangely since I
upgraded to a new version of CS3 studio.
I have been working with CS3 for a while now without needing
too much of an adjustment from DW8.
However, I just bought a new computer so I had to reinstall
all my software.
On the new box, DW is acting mighty strange:
1) When I am in Layout view and click on an element to go to
the corresponding line of code for the element it no longer goes to
the line. However, it does when I r-click on it. It is a bit
annoying since it also opens the contextual menu at the same time.
2) When I am in code view (which is 99% of the time) and I
click on an element, it no longer shows me the corresponding CSS
rule in the CSS pane. Again, if I r-click sometiomes it works, but
this one is not reliable either way. Sometimes it works if I double
click, but most of the time it doesn't.
3) The comment icon on the code toolbar is often grayed out.
No reason I can see and just as often it wil work on the same line
of code where it didn't work a minute before.
I combed the preferences line by line without success.
On my old computer I never had any issues like this. I find
it very strange and it is crimping my workflow considerably. Is
anyone familiar with theis behavior or how to fix it?

The times I have seen others post things like this, it's been
due to a bad
installation - reinstalling fixes it.

PREFERENCES? No way that I know of.
SNIPPETS? Copy the Configuration/Snippets folder from the
USER-specific
application folder and paste to a similar location on the new
computer.
XP-
C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application
Data\Adobe\Dreamweaver
9\Configuration\Snippets
(these folders are normally hidden - you may have to use
Explorer > Tools >
Folder Options to unhide them)
VISTA-
E:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Dreamweaver
9\Configuration\Snippets
or on Mac -
Library/Application Support/Macromedia/Dreamweaver
9/Configuration/Snippets
SITE DEFINITIONS? Export from DW on one computer to portable
media, and
Import to the other.

Dreamweaver cs6 keeps adding br tags in code view

Hi
I've just upgraded to Dreamweaver cs6 and am having trouble with the code view. When typing in <script> tags or <style> tags I keep getting two <br> tags automatically inserted. It is really annoying as it puts them on two lines and takes time to remove them and completely disrupts your flow when typing code or css.
Any suggestions on how to prevent this happening?
Thanks.

Thanks David - I think that may well explain it. It seems to happen mostly when adding a { in code or CSS. I wonder if I'm still holding the shift key when I hit enter for a new line. I'm trying Dreamweaver again after using visual studio for the last 5 years or so. I wonder if I can just change the keyboard shortcut.

Help! Can't paste into code view or property inspector

I'm experiencing a weird and extremely annoying bug in Dreamweaver CS6 -- I can't paste text from outside apps into DW's code view or into the property inspector (such as URLs).
Pasting doesn't work no matter the method: Ctrl + V, right-clicking or using the Edit menu. Pasting works normally in every other program. If I copy within Dreawmweaver, pasting works fine.
Does anyone have a solution for this? I'm running Win 8 and DW 12.1 through Creative Cloud. Searching the forums, I see others have reported the same issue. Some have been able to fix it by deleting the configuration file; that didn't fix the issue for me. I'd like to try reinstalling DW, but the Adobe Application Manager doesn't seem to allow that.
I began noticing this bug about two weeks ago. That might have been about the same time I updated to 12.1. Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Cory K.

Adding to my last post, I used a clipboard format inspector called nclip (http://code.google.com/p/nclip/) to see if I could find a pattern between "what works" and "what doesn't".
There are two cases where I'm seeing paste-into-Dreamweaver CS6 fail:
Paste into Code View fails, but Paste into Design View works!
Paste into either Code View or Design View fails
I went through the list of programs that worked and didn't worked, using nclip to show what clipboard formats were being saved from each working and non-working source. It appears that DreamWeaver CS6 as of January 9, 2013 doesn't accept the most basic text clipboard formats:
CF_UNICODETEXT
CF_TEXT
CF-OEMTEXT
CF_LOCALE
If these are the only clipboard formats used by an app (for example, Window's venerable Notepad.exe), Dreamweaver doesn't appear to handle them. Most programmer-style text editors output just these formats, because they are presumed to be understood any application that handles text. These fail for both pasting into codeview and design view.
Interestingly, Chrome browser fails the code view test, but it does work in design view! It outputs the four clipboard types above, plus one more:
Custom Format: HTML Format
Hypothesis 1: Any application that puts HTML Format on the clipboard will paste into design view, but not necessarily code view.
Next, Visual Studio 2010 and Sticky Notes, which doesn't include HTML Format as a clip type, works for both code view and design view. They both output this type in addition to the basics:
Custom Format: Rich Text Format
Two programs that output Rich Text Format without HTML Format are Sticky Notes and WordPad. These both work with Code View and Design View. From these limited tests on my system, it appears that for Dreamweaver to accept a text paste from an outside program into Code View, that program must output Rich Text Format to the clipboard. Otherwise, it fails. Dreamweaver will accept HTML Format, but only in Design View. Firefox is an exception in that it don't export Rich Text Format, but still works with Code View. It might use OLE, though (Chrome doesn't seem to use OLE, and it breaks in code view).
Hypothesis 2: Any application that puts Rich Text Format on the clipboard will paste into design view AND code view.
If Dreamweaver is really ignoring the basic text clipboard formats, and it's not just my system configuration, then this is a bug. Probably something that got overlooked in testing.
To reproduce on Dreamweaver 12.1 build 5966:
Try copy/pasting text from Notepad.exe into Dreamweaver Code View (DWCV). This fails for me.
Try copy/pasting text from WordPad.exe into DWCV. This works!
Try copy/pasting text from Internet Explorer 9 or Firefox into DWCV. This works!
Try copy/pasting text from Chrome. This fails to paste into Code View, but does paste into Design View
The Code View workaround:
Use Firefox or Internet Explorer for your browser if you're copy/pasting source code.
If you're working from another text editor, try copy/pasting into intermediate programs Sticky Notes or WordPad, then copy/paste from there into Dreamweaver.
So that is my experience on Windows 7 64-bit. Anyone else experiencing the same thing?

How to change page loading in code view?

We have thousands of pages and whenever we load a page it appears in code view so it is difficult to know which page it is that you need to work on. Is there a preference setting to allow opening a page in Split view? It's easier to know we've selected the correct page visually than that with looking at similar code.
Any tips?
Rick

I must not have been clear. Sorry.
My layout: Design view on top, code view on bottom, file/assets/etc on right. When I select a file to open, it flashes in split view and then goes to code view. Our pages look very similar and just code view can't display the page layout and I always (well, used to) work in split view.
How can I set my preferences to say "open file in split view"?
Thanks for the response, tho!

Scrolling horizontally in Code view with tilt-wheel mouse.

I'm having an issue with scrolling horizontally via my mouse's tilt-wheel, side-scrolling feature. I'm using Dreamweaver CS6 in WIndows 7, but perhaps the bug may apply to CC as well.
When I scroll sideways, the scrollbar moves, but it loses all of it's styling (gradient effect and draggable icon) but the view content does NOT move at all. After side-scrolling, if I click anywhere in the Code view, the styling resets and the content tries to reconcile with the scrollbar's location, and the view breaks, like this:
Scrolling vertically past these lines and back resolves the text breakage. But, horizontal scrolling is still a pain unless I make the effort to drag the scrollbar with my cursor.
I've considered it being a driver issue, so I reinstalled them and restarted. I've installed legacy versions and restarted. No dice.
Has anyone else experienced this? Why is tilt-wheel side-scrolling different than clicking the right arrow button? Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks Jon.
But, I'd rather not word-wrap. I see plenty of how-to's for word-wrapping, so I'm not sure if I'm really alone in wanting to visually maintain longer lines, or whether hardly anyone else has tilt-wheel issues, or that they don't find it worth posting for help about.
Hm. I'll keep looking for a solution for a while longer.

Help navigating my own code view...

ok, the particulars... mac, dw 8 (using it since way back in
ver 2 - but hand-coding for years), more than enough power/ram for
dw even though it's not relevant to the question...
i'm usually about 70/30 in split view with code being the
primary, or all code view... basically, to not go into the design
view arguement... i don't need it or use it much outside of
visually checking image paths as i work.
bouncing around in the code view (moving my cursor) is quite
a pain when compared to other text editors and word processors
(even though the intent of the app is completely different) —
and it would seem that since they've thought of most everything
else, it's probably in here and i just can't find it...
for example: in textedit, word, entourage and mail,
illustrator, photoshop, any browser input box, etc... using
command-arrow, option-arrow, command-shift-arrow, etc will all
provide different desired results per the specs of each app... but
in dw, it seems to me that (except the nice selection abilities
using the shift modifier) it only does one thing. it will bounce to
the beginning or end of the last/next element, attribute, or equal
sign if that is the case, or in css it will only move between the
next/last selector, attribute or value, etc...
is there a simple way to jump to the beginnig or end of a
line? or the beginning or ending of an element (w/ or w/o skipping
the attributes inside)? are there any other ways to bounce around
in dw that i just cannot find in the forums, help files, etc...?
it seems an app this well-put-together and extensible
wouldn't lack a feature that is common just about everywhere else,
and hinder the productivity of the user... especially when most
good coders i know barely take their hands off the keyboard to go
to a mouse until they're viewing the site live to test
interaction... i must be missing something i'm sure!
anyone? even if it's pc-related, i'd assume there is a
mac-equiv so don't be shy...
thanks,
- jeremy

Within the Tomcat directory, under your application directory place the class file/s into the WEB-INF/classes directory. If your classes are part of a package place the entire directory structure of the package under the WEB-INF/classes directory.
The import in the JSP is the same as for any Java class.
Hope this solves your problem.

Design / code view problem

Hello, I have been using DW for a while now. I only use code
view. When I first installed DW it asked for a default layout which
I assumed had nothing to do with the viewing of code vrs design,
just the layout. I chose coder layout.
Now I am in DW and I need to look at the design in real time
because I am having an issue that is causing me to go back and
forth between browser and DW and it is getting old. So I looked up
at the top where the toolbar is and design and split buttons are
greyed out and inactive for me. I thought this was odd so I created
a new basic HTML page to see if it would allow me access to these
buttons but again, no.
If I go to view menu same thing. I can only check code view.
I can however go to the window menu and change the layout to
designer, dual or coder but all this does is undock many of the
panels. I still cannot see the visual element of my code.
Can anyone please help me with this problem? At its most
simplest form, I created an HTML page that says Hello World and I
would like to be able to see this in both code and design view or
switch easily between the two. But as of now, it does not seem like
I have this ability. Again I am using DW 8
Thank you for any help

I see you are using DW8. OK....
Also, changing from coder to designer won't affect the split
view.
Have you tried reinstalling? Has DW always been this way that
you recall?

Turning a 'code view' only file to a 'design view' file

Thanks for reading.
I am using Dreamweaver 8. I have INC files that I would to be
able to edit in design view as opposed to strictly code view. (lots
of tables and I'd rather just visually edit the cells) I can view
them in the PHP files they are called from (which is a start) but I
need to be able to edit just the INC file in design view; not view
it in the PHP file and then open the INC file in code view.
I have gone through the help file and done the following
(restarting dreamweaver each time):
1) removed INC from the list at dreamweaver >>
Preferences >> FileTypes / Editors >> Open in Code View
2) checked to make sure the INC extention is in the
extension.txt file (it is by default) I've tried moving it to be an
html file, leaving it as a server sife include, and creating a new
'include file' distinction for it. None of it works.
3) Going through the rest of the documentation isn't terribly
helpful. It mentions files and folders I can not find. Most of the
decent documentation I can find is for MX; but the files it points
me to don't seem exist in my installation.
I'm sure this is a really easy problem with a simple
solution; but I am overlooking it. Do I need to find more folders
from my installation? Do I create these folders manually as I need
them? What files go in them? Getting this figured out so I can make
edits to INC files in design view would help me out tremendously.
Thanks for any help.

Save them as *.html rather than *.inc files....

CS5: Pasting smart quotes into code view problem

Hi all,
In my blogging workflow, I copy the blog text from from MacJournal into the code view in Dreamweaver CS5. In CS3, it seems that DW allowed the left & right smart and unicode quotes to be pasted in untouched. However, DW CS5 seems to be converting all single ‘ & ’ to the ASCII ' and all “ & ” to ASCII ". Is there a way to turn this off?
I don't want to paste the text into the design view because I don't want DW to auto format the text. I got some specific formatting that I like to do.
Thanks!
Steven

Yes, the appropriate meta tag is in place. In Preferences, UTF-8 is selected under Fonts. Try pasting:
“Test”
into the code view and see what happens. Hmm, Just tried pasting the above into the Design View and the same thing happened. The curly quotes where changed into straight quotes. BTW, I'm runn ing DW under Mac OS X Lion.
I pasted the same text in another app, TextEdit, and the curly quotes pasted just fine.
I need the curly quotes because I change them into ‘, ’, “, and ” (‘ ’ “ ”) for compatibility with older browsers (pre-IE6). Yes, my site has been visited by such older browsers.
Thanks!
Steven

Pasting smart quotes and apostrophes in code view.

Sine upgrading to Dreamweaver CS5, I haven't been able to copy/paste smart quotes and apostrophes into code view without them automatically being converted to straight quotes.
For example, the following sentence (notice the curly quotes):
John’s new song is called “DW Blues”
would get pasted into Code View as:
John's new song is called "DW Blues"
Notice the smart quotes and apostrophe are replaced with single and double ticks, or "straight quotes." While this seems like a minor detail, it's extremely important to our writers and editors to have them appear on the website exactly as typed.
If I do the same copy/paste in Design View (doc type is XHTML Transitional), it appears as:
John's new song is called "DW Blues"
The characters are still replaced, and the straight quotes are then entity encoded (as expected).
This doesn't happen with other valid UTF-8 characters like ™, ®, —, etc., or with any other code editors I've used, including DW CS3.
Is there a hidden preference somewhere to disable this "feature," or is it just a bug?
Please help!

It's now 4 years since jsparacio posted this, and I just wanted to let everyone know that I had -- and am still having -- the exact same problem with Dreamweaver CS5 (running first under Windows XP, then Windows 7, and now again with Windows 8.1). So it's not just Macs that are affected.
FWIW, I have set my DW CS5 Paste preferences to the 3rd of 4 options available
    1 - Text Only
    2 - Text With Structure
    3 - Text With Structure Plus Basic Formatting
    4 - Text With Structure Plus Full Formatting
in the EDIT > PREFERENCES > Copy/Paste Preferences dialog box.
But the Paste Special command ignores this setting, giving me only the first 2 options from which to choose, with option 2 the default selection for Paste Special operations (options 3 and 4 are grayed out, and can't be selected).
According to David Sawyer McFarland's _Dreamweaver CS5: The Missing Manual_ (O'Reilly Media, 2010), the reason these are grayed out is because I am pasting unformatted ASCII text which I generated in a program editor called "UltraEdit":
    "... Choose EDIT > PASTE SPECIAL to open the Paste Special window. Here, you can choose which of the four techniques you wish to use ... sort of. You're limited to what Dreamweaver can paste. For non-Microsoft Office products, you can use only the first two options--the others are grayed out--whereas you can choose from any of the four with text copied from Word or Excel." (McFarland, p. 81)
Regardless of such restrictions, standard copy-and-paste (CTRL+C followed by CTRL+V) works just fine for me using Dreamweaver CS4 (i.e., I have never needed to use the Paste Special command), but with DW CS5, neither Paste command (CONTROL+V or CTRL+SHIFT+V) works properly with typographic/curly/smart quotes.
All typographic quotes -- ASCII-0146 and ASCII-0147 (double quote marks); plus ASCII-0145 and ASCII-0146 (single quote marks, for quotes within a quote) -- are converted to inch (" is entered in the code) and foot (' is entered in the code) marks when I copy-and-paste text with these characters into Dreamweaver's Design View.
When I copy this same plain ASCII text directly into the code (rather than using Design View), typographic double open & close quotes are converted to the inch (") mark, and typographic single open & close quotes are converted to the foot (') mark.
The beginning of this week, I installed Dreamweaver CS5, ver. 11.0, Build 4909 under Windows 8.1 OS on my new Ultrabook. I was hoping that under Windows 8.1, DW CS5's handling of typographic quotes might improve so that I can actually use this program that I purchased 4 years ago. Alas, no such luck: I continue to have the same problem I had when I first upgraded to Dreamweaver CS5 back in August 2010 (then running under Windows XP on my desktop computer).
Back in August 2020, when I first asked about fixes, I was told to change the Title/Encoding setting of Page Properties to "Western European" -- which I tried, but it didn't work then, and it doesn't work now ... and even if it did, it wouldn't be a proper fix for the problem as I have plenty of good reasons for wanting my HTML page Title/Encoding set to Unicode (UTF-8), not Western European ("charset=iso-8859-1").
The ability to copy-and-paste typographic quotes is such a big deal for me that I chose back in August 2010 to revert to Dreamweaver CS4, which I've been using ever since.
It is *very* frustrating that, 4 years later, I still can't use this program, and shall be reverting to DW CS4, yet again.
I continue to be completely flummoxed by this. Every other program with which I am familiar converts non-typographic quotes to typographic/curly/smart quotes ... never have I seen the process automated in reverse!

Zoom in code view

So I love code view, allows me to really keep everything
clean. But the txt is a bit too small. I know I can zoom with my
os, but is there a way to do this only in dreamweaver code view?
Thought about changing the code font and size, but not sure if that
will effect page rendering
???

> Thought about changing the code font and size,
> but not sure if that will effect page rendering
dreamweaver preferences-->Fonts-->Code View
pick a font and a size. it has nothing to do with what shows
in a browser.
make it 300pt zebra bold.

Editing tags in code view

im relatively new to dw 8 and have a problem. in split vied
or code view I cant edit change or remove tags. ie if i want to
remove a <font> tag. i can highlight it in the code view
window but if i try to cut nothing happens. Im sure i just have a
setting wrong but what?

Is the code in question black or gray?? If ou are using a DW
teomplate,
some of our code areas will be "locked" (gray) and uneditible
unless you
edit the template itself. Make sense?

I've managed to change the font to "Source Code Pro" in the Regeditor here: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Dreamweaver CC\Font Preferences.
Style, the font is not as good as it was with Courier New... And Courier New is not working... I'm looking to have a normal Courier New in CC... Or at least anothe similar font... Not light as Source Code Pro...
Thanks
