Web Page Text Disappearing in Design View

Hi,
I'm using Dreamweaver 8, and I am loading the page of an
existing web page into Dreamweaver (page was coded in notepad, not
in Dreamweaver). The web page uses CSS and is full of text. Problem
is, I cannot see any of the text that is in a table while in design
view.
The tables in design view look like they are compressed
together, and the site in design view doesn't resemble the actual
page at all.
I can see the text on the webpage in code view, and when I
preview the page in IE or Firefox, the text is there - however in
Design view it disappears!
I have tried Expanded Tables Mode too, but no luck.
Any suggestions? Is there some setting I need to adjust, to
see the text on this page while in design view?
Thanks!
N~

Why does some text disappear in Design View?

Hi,
I've had a website for about six years. On my Windows XP computer I used Dreamweaver 8 with minimal problems. When I upgraded to Windows 7 last spring, I bought Dreamweaver CS5. I've had a lot of problems since then. Here's the latest and most serious:
I went to edit my homepage about a week ago, and all the text in the middle column (not the left or right sidebars) suddenly disappeared in Design View. If I click on Live View, the text shows up, as it does on the internet. This now seems to be happening in each page I open. I'm unable to edit my pages.
I tried to install the recent update from Adobe.com, but was unable to do so. An adobe tech told me to reinstall Dreamweaver and try again. No luck.
I never had this problem in earlier versions of Dreamweaver. My website is on the first page of Google in many categories, and I'm afraid to change it much. How do I fix this problem?
You can view my website here: http://karathecomputertutor.com/
Thanks.

You have some issues, however I dont know if they are related. You have two opening <html> tags....thats not good. I would suggest you fix your validation issues first, see if that doent help, if it does not, let us know.

Inserting tabbed navigation code makes my web page not display in design view..

Hi everyone..
I am on Dreamweaver 8 for MAC, and was working on a couple of web pages..these pages included divs and tables. But when I tried inserting a tabbed navigation I found at:
http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamicindex17/tabcontent.htm
In a nutshell, it asked me for step 1 to:
Step 1: Insert the below CSS and script into the HEAD section of your page:
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="tabcontent.css" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="tabcontent.js">
* Tab Content script v2.2- © Dynamic Drive DHTML code library (www.dynamicdrive.com)
* This notice MUST stay intact for legal use
* Visit Dynamic Drive at http://www.dynamicdrive.com/ for full source code
</script>
The next step was this:
Step 2: Finally, simply add the below HTML to where you wish the Tab Content to appear on the page:
<h3>Demo #1- Basic implementation</h3>
<ul id="countrytabs" class="shadetabs">
<li><a href="#" rel="country1" class="selected">Tab 1</a></li>
<li><a href="#" rel="country2">Tab 2</a></li>
<li><a href="#" rel="country3">Tab 3</a></li>
<li><a href="#" rel="country4">Tab 4</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.dynamicdrive.com">Dynamic Drive</a></li>
</ul>
<div style="border:1px solid gray; width:450px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 10px">
<div id="country1" class="tabcontent">
Tab content 1 here<br />Tab content 1 here<br />
</div>
<div id="country2" class="tabcontent">
Tab content 2 here<br />Tab content 2 here<br />
</div>
<div id="country3" class="tabcontent">
Tab content 3 here<br />Tab content 3 here<br />
</div>
<div id="country4" class="tabcontent">
Tab content 4 here<br />Tab content 4 here<br />
</div>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
var countries=new ddtabcontent("countrytabs")
countries.setpersist(true)
countries.setselectedClassTarget("link") //"link" or "linkparent"
countries.init()
</script>
<p><a href="javascript:countries.cycleit('prev')" style="margin-right: 25px; text-decoration:none">Back</a> <a href="javascript: countries.expandit(3)">Click here to select last tab</a> <a href="javascript:countries.cycleit('next')" style="margin-left: 25px; text-decoration:none">Forward</a></p>

Well, I did all the steps required, but when I put this inside a div I had inside a table, all of a sudden I couldnt see anything in my design view, only two tables that arent even the same size..When I take out all this code, I get back my regular page..Can I see this tabbed navigation in my design view? Unfortunately, I dont have the spry widgets since I am on Dreamweaver 8..If I preview it in both Safari and Firefox (on Mac Firefox/3.0.8) (Safari 3.2.1) I can see everything fine, including the tabbed navigation..But designing in code isnt really helpful because I want to see what it looks like in design view, in case we change things-its just easier for me to work on..So I assume there is something in this code that is making my design view show nothing..
Update:I tried taking out the code again, but this time, I couldnt see anything again, even without this code..
I know that I can go to validation website, and I got a lot of errors-but all the pages I have that are in the same style have those same errors too—and they display fine..its only when I insert this specific piece of code that everything goes haywire..Is it even possible to view tabbed navigations (like the one in the above link) inside of Dreamweaver Design View?
Any help would be appreciated..

DW8 doesn't render any dynamic content, so I'd say it's a no go. You'll just have to live with that limitation or upgrade to CS4...

My web page centers in the design view, but not when viewed on line.

I am new to web design and of course, to this forum. I had some background in VBA and Fortran, so when the original designer left, I was the only one in the organization willing to tackle the website and try to teach myself how to make it work and keep it current. We were financially in the red at the time, so hiring outside help would have been almost impossible. We are finally breaking even now, which was our goal as a non-profit.
So I inherited the computer and the responsibility for maintaining the website at a non-profit organization for kids in Florida a couple of years ago, and I am doing pretty well with it so far, even though my depth of knowledge is very shallow. AsI said before, I am entirely self taught, mostly by the trial and error method, so please excuse what is probably a very basic question.
My website is FloridaBandTournament.com.
The site is working pretty well for my users, but from an appearance standpoint, the pages always are on the left side of the screen. I would like to center the page(s) in the screen so that it looks a little better. They are on a black background - not sure how the background got there, but it is working fine for me. When I tried to center the pages, I googled my way to the statement text-align: center, and after placing it a couple of different places in the code, it suddenly seemed to work, at least in the in Dreamweaver 8 (I also inherited the software, which is I know is old, but so am I - will be 70 soon, and do my work for free for the organization). But when I went to a couple of different browsers, it still displayed the website on the left. I tried Firefox and IE. I am at a loss as to what to do.
When I found this forum, I thought maybe somebody could help me know what to do to make this centering of the page happen in a simple way for this old geezer. I would sure appreciate it.
I do not know what I should be communicating to you, but I thought if I sent the code in the body, it might help.
The body code is as follows;
body [
    background-image: url(file:///C|/Documents and Settings/user/Application Data/Macromedia/Dreamweaver 8/configuration/ServerConnections/www/images/background.gif):
   background-color: #000000;
   margin-top: 0px;
   margin-left: 0px
   margin-bottom: 0px
   margin-right: 0px
text-align:center
None of the pages in the active website have this code yet - I have a trial page that I am testing. The trial page can be accessed from the link at the bottom of the 'links' page for 'Show Host Infoormation' (the mis-spelling is temporary and intentianal so I can find the darn test link myself when I want to).
I would be glad to provide any information that might help someone understand what I have and what I am trying to do, but again, I am self-taught so I have little understanding of the technical terms. I would sure appreciate any help. Thanks in advance.
Bob

First obviously make a back-up of the pages/s.
Go into code view in Dreamweaver and find the below html. Its near the top of the page after the css. You don't need to first table <table> </table> so you can delete that. It's the second table that we are interest in. See below I have added id="pageWrapper" to the opening <table tag.
<table width="795" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">

<tr>
    <td width="795" height="19" valign="top" bgcolor="#000000"> </td>
</tr>
</table>
<table id="pageWrapper" width="795" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">

Then add this to your css styles in the head setcion of the page.
#pageWrapper {
    margin: 0 auto;
You'll have to do this for each page of the site you want centered, which could be a pain if you have many pages.
Also your background image is linked to your local computer thats why you are not seeing it but have a black background instead:
body {
    background-image: url(file:///C|/Documents and Settings/user/Application Data/Macromedia/Dreamweaver 8/Configuration/ServerConnections/www/images/background.gif);
    background-color: #000000;
    margin-left: 0px;
    margin-top: 0px;
    margin-right: 0px;
    margin-bottom: 0px;
If you want the image to appear amend the link to as below:
body {
    background-image: url(images/background.gif);
    background-color: #000000;
    margin-left: 0px;
    margin-top: 0px;
    margin-right: 0px;
    margin-bottom: 0px;

CS3 Templates - css disappears in design view

In DW CS3, I've noticed that after I've been working with
templates for a while, often with several templates open
simultaneously, the style rendering suddenly disappears in design
view, and I see only the unformatted text on the screen. If I close
DW and restart, the pages render correctly, but after 15 min. or
so, the style problem returns. Anyone else run into this?

Wait - is this about FLASH or CSS? (see your subject line).
Anyhow - the solution posted here 3 or 4 times a day would be
to make the
links to the Flash in the Template page be ROOT relative
links, i.e., change
this -
<script type="text/javascript">
AC_FL_RunContent(

Why has my form suddenly disappeared from design view?

My form has just disappeared from 'design view' but if i hit 'live view' it re-appears, the code is all there i just cant view it?

Its because your table code is broken. I had a job this morning wading through it so I eventually selected just the from part - <form> </form> - which I believe is intact and dumped it in another DW file.
If you can't find the broken or missing tag/s can I suggest you do this and rebuild the outer table.

My iPad2 browser doesn't support web pages I'm trying to view what should I do

My iPad2 browser doesn't support web pages I'm trying to view what should I do?

If they are pages that contain flash, then as flash isn't supported ( http://www.apple.com/hotnews/thoughts-on-flash/ ) your options are limited.
Depending on what sites you are trying to access, you might find that some of them (probably more so if they are news sites) have their own apps in the App Store which might let you get some of the content that you want (and there is the built-in YouTube app). Also there are browsers such as Skyfire which 'work' on some sites - but judging by the reviews not all sites. If you want to play flash games then you are probably out of luck if you want to play on-line though the iSwifter app might work on some of them, but again some flash games have app versions in the store.

Why can't I see my text in CS5 design view?

Since upgrading to CS5, I cannot see any text but plain text as I work in design view. If I apply a css format to it, it disappears from view, but not from the code and shows up on the browser. But if I can't see it, and can't select it, I can't lay it out at all.
I have uploaded 2 different screen grabs of a simple page with the split view so that you can also see the code. -one is the regular design layout and then the split in Live View so that you can see what I mean. The text in in the code, is visible in Live View, but cannot be seen or selected in Design View. I have a MacBook running Snow Leopard.
http://channelsusan.com/disappearingtext.html
I posted this problem months ago and no one could figure it out. I have been using my old computer with CS in the meantime. Now I have time to address the issue and want to try again. So far I have reformatted my drive, reinstalled the operating system, unistalled and reinstalled CS5.
Please help me.

Is it only the <h> (heading) tags that you can't see in design view? From the screen shot it looks like you can view the <p> (paragraph) tag, right?

My pages are missing in design view ?? but not in live view?

I am using win 7 & DW5. I have not used DW% for more than a week. I need to update today and there is no page to work with? I don't know what to do? [email protected]

I have two sites up and running ... www.latheart.com and ... svwoodturners.org. Both are ok. This past weekl I installed chrome !@#$%^! didnot like it so I uninstalled it !@#$%^&! What a mess that caused. Some of the reg files had to be rewritten in the regesters also my photos also do not open automatically any more. The fonts were changed in almost everything. I think I have fixed most everything and then I found this problem with DW5. I do not know it that is related or how the htmls could even be affected. But both of my sites have the same issue. They will not dysplay in design view ..... Thanks for any help or suggestions. Rich Johnson San Jose Ca.
I don't know how to enter the code here ... I have cut and pasted and it creats the page with out the photos.

My web pages text is blurry some letters are faint how can I fix this

the text on my web pages has some faint letters in the words and others there is only half the letter appearing.
I have tried view, zoom, reset. helps on some but not on the rest of page.
I have reloaded firefox to no avail.
I have cleared all settings back to default
... still the same problem..
this is very frustrating,
thinking of changing back to internet explorer.
help....

A couple of things.
First, do you have ClearType turned off at the system level? Firefox doesn't have it's own version of ClearType built in, unlike IE which will apply ClearType even if you turn it off at the system level.
Second, Firefox sometimes displays ugly fonts if it is incompatible with your graphics card drivers. The workaround is to disable Firefox's use of hardware acceleration. Here's how:
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
On the "General" mini-tab, uncheck the box for "Use hardware acceleration when available"
This takes effect after you exit and restart Firefox.
Any difference?

Can't edit text in CS3 design view

Hi,
I have a big absolutely positioned DIV tag in most of my
pages, practically the whole page content is inside it.
In DW CS3 design view very often (maybe 50% of all times) if
I click inside it to edit the text, DW selects the entire DIV tag.
The cursor becomes like a cross with arrows, the DIV border becomes
outlined with a thick blue line, and I can't edit the text no
matter how much times I click. If I move the mouse with left button
pressed, this moves the DIV and changes the .css file where the
position is defined. DIV can't be de-selected with Escape, left or
right clicking.
The only way to get out of this is to click somewhere in the
code view, then go back to design view where hopefully text can be
edited. Sometimes I have to repeat this twice or even 3 times ,
it's extremely annoying and time consuming.
Is there any workaround?
Like to disable selection of containers in design view, or at
least a quick way to deselect the current selection?
This problem does not appear in DW8 when editing the same
files.
thanks

Nasty. Why?
Do you have an overflow style on this div?

Why does Pages Text Disappear On Conversion to PDF

I made a two-page newsletter in Pages '09. The text on the front page article disappears when I export to PDF. The text is there in the thumbnail for the file but when I open the PDF document, the page is blank except for the graphics and photo.
I'm using pages '09 and the latest version of Acrobat Pro. The font is Futura Medium and shows up fine on the second page.
Any ideas?

After pulling my hair out for several days trying to solve for this, my son looked at it and in 20 seconds figured out the problem. The file looked fine in Preview and showed up in the thumbnail. Exporting to Word also worked, but the text disappeared regardless of how I arrived at the PDF.
When examining the text box for the the "disappearing" text, my son chose "Bring To Front" from the "Arrange" menu and that fixed it. This made sense because all the other body copy text was the exact same font/style, etc. and displayed as expected in the exported PDF. Therefore, the problem was isolated to the properties of that one text box. In the course of laying out the newsletter, that one text box was sent backward in the layers and when converted to PDF, was hidden behind an invisible layer (there was no background of any kind behind the text, just the white "paper").

BUG: JSP disappears from design view with MyFaces / Tomahawk

Hi,
When I try to create a JSF JSP in design view (as opposed to code view) using MyFaces and Tomahawk 1.1.3, the design view will blank and display "Type, paste or drag and drop content onto this blank....". This usually happens after I've dragged half a dozen JSF outputlabels and inputtext boxes. The code still exists in code view, and will even compile and deploy ok, it's just the design view that stops working. The design view usually blanks while I'm switching between the code tabs at the top of the screen, although I'm fairly sure it blanked as I dropped a textbox onto the form once.
I've restarted JDev, tried to create a second page, clicked refresh etc but I can't get it back. This has happened starting from scratch 3 times now.
I've switched back to the builtin reference implementation JSF (and no Tomahawk), and JDeveloper works fine, so it seems to be a problem using MyFaces. I've added MyFaces and Tomahawk via Manage Libraries.
This Oracle article - http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/jdev/101/howtos/myfaces/index.html
states that the RI version can't be swapped out in JDev Developer Preview version but I understand that's not true now?
I'm using :-
JDeveloper SU4
java 1.5
Windows XP SP1
Thanks for any help.

I found the answer. I went to View, Style Rendering and clicked several of the boxes Display Media was one.

Firefox UI & Web Page Content Disappears

When using Firefox 27.0.1 with minimal (less than 15 tabs) I have encountered a problem where the entire user interface simply disappears. By that, I mean that the content Tab Bar, Navigation Bar and Bookmarks Toolbar all disappear and are replaced by the "glass" effect of the Windows 7 windows.
Additionally, the web page that should be displayed also disappears and turns completely black.
This seems to happen after browsing through several JavaScript heavy pages (like Google Play) as well as sites with Flash and/or HTML5 video frames (like YouTube).
I recently reinstalled Firefox (12th of January) and am using a completely new profile, though I have reinstalled my most used addons and disabled hardware acceleration.
I have included the Troubleshooting Information with this post.
Thanks guys

Disabling hardware acceleration seems to have solved the rendering issues.
However, the crashes on script heavy pages persist. Tried running in Safe Mode and didn't get any crashes. But here's the problem. My sister uses Firefox as well and we use more or less the same Add-ons yet she doesn't get the same level of crashes I do and she browses far more often than I do.
So heres what I did (note: our PC's are custom builds with exactly the same specs, except the graphics card - her's is a Radeon HD4xxx and mine is an HD6770)
I checked what Add-ons she uses and disabled all the Add-ons I use that she didn't have. In theory, that would leave me with a Firefox with Add-ons that are confirmed working. And yet, despite that, Firefox still crashes, particularly on YouTube.
As an example, I can have 3-4 (approximately) YouTube pages open, none of which are showing the video player (Flash or HTML5); such as user pages or subscription pages, etc.
While they are loading Firefox slows to a crawl, eats memory and eventually crashes. My sister on the other hand once had 30+ pages with the video player (Flash in this case) open and yet her Firefox averaged around 900MB RAM with no slow down or crashes.
Again, this is a clean install (not even installed in the same Directory or Disk Partition as my previous install), and it is a clean profile with each Add-on reinstalled/setup manually. I did copy over a few files containing data for a few Add-ons as well as all my Bookmarks. The data copied was just a list of blocked Trackers by DoNotTrackMe and data from a time tracking add-on.
Anyone have any ideas?

Saving a web page including images for offline viewing

Yes, I can view and save the HTML for a web page. But is there a utility or technique which will enable me to pull all the images and enable me to view the page without distortion when offline?
G5 iMac 1.8Ghz Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Hi Morley!
This may work for some web pages, but not all.
Navigate to the webpage.
From the browser File menu, select Save As.
In the window that opens, enter a new title if desired, save to Desktop, and at Save as:, select HTML Complete.
When completed, click once on the html file, not the folder that contains the images, to highlight.
Depress the  Command + I keys, to Get Info.
Click the Contextual Triangle for Open with:.
Select TextEdit.
The page should now open on your Desktop.
This may not work for all websites.
You can trash the image folder if you want.
