Insert Fluid grid layout div tag pastes CSS

I am trying to create a new fluid grid layout. I am able to insert 2 new layout divs, but after that, the "Insert Fluid grid layout div tag" fails. I am in "split" display, and the code view shows CSS instead of the HTML, and the design view shows a page of CSS code.
Control-Z always backs me up to the proper display of code and design, but the CSS file does not contain the definitions for the newly-inserted DIV.
Before insert:
After insert:

Yes. I created a new site, named as you see, for the files created as I learn the new features in CS6.
The problem I am seeing is 100% reproducable. The 1st 2 layout divs are inserted correctly, then all after that fail. After the 2nd screen shot above, a single ^Z will restore the code & display panes. I have learned that I can quickly switch into editing the CSS file, paste in the definitions for the new div (a pain, but do-able), then I can do all of the other editing, resizing, etc.
One thing I have not tried, but will, is to remove my custom key-mapping and try this in a standard workspace.

Green highlight when working with Fluid Grid Layout Div tags

What does the green highlight mean when working in Live view of a Fluid Grid Layout using Fluid Grid Layout Div Tags? Sometimes they show up, but sometimes they don't. I think it has something to do with the width setting but I can't figure out what the rule is or what the highlight indicates.

THANK YOU!!

the green highlight sometimes disappears when modifying the width property of the div. My question is what does this signify?
If you change the width of a div manually in Code view or in the CSS styles panel, Dreamweaver ceases to treat it as a fluid grid layout div, and the green highlighting disappears.
To be treated as a fluid grid layout div, the width must be adjusted by dragging the handles in Design view. Dreamweaver snaps fluid grid layout divs to the grid that is defined when you first create the page, and it calculates the width and margins to many decimal places. If the width and/or margin doesn't match the grid dimensions, the highlighting disappears, and the div is treated as any other div.
It's not a bug, nor are fluid grid layout divs any different from normal ones. The idea of the grid and the highlighting is to allow you to create a responsive layout according to a hypothetical grid. Once you've created the basic structure, it's best to turn off the visual guides anyway.
Personally, I think that the implementation of fluid grid layouts in Dreamweaver CS6 leaves a lot to be desired. The basic idea is good, but it's difficult to use if you don't have a solid understanding of CSS.

Why I am not able to see Fluid Grid Layout Div tag

Why I am not seeing Fluid Grid Layout Div tag In the Insert Layout menu

DW CC changed the panels. If you're working in FGLayouts, DW intuitively inserts the correct Div for you.

In HTML Code View, line 53 - 56, replace what you have now with this:
<div class="gridContainer clearfix">
     <div id="LayoutDiv1">
     <p>LAYOUTDIV1 CONTENT GOES HERE<p>

     <div id="LayoutDiv2">

Fluid Grid Layout Div's not snapping correctly?

Hello, how come my fluid grid layout div's are not snapping correctly?
Here is a picture:
As you can see, the div tag "iphone1" is halfway in the other column. Shouldn't it be snapping to the nearest column? My mobile layout snaps perfectly fine but my tablet and desktop do not. Is it because my div tag "iphone1" is in another fluid grid layout tag "main-body"> Can you not place div's inside of div's with id's?
I would appreciate any help as I am sure I am doing something wrong that can easily be fixed.
Also, it is possible to change the number of columns you want for each design view after creating the page? For example, I have 20 columns in desktop view, it is possible to change to 16 if I wanted to?
Thanks in advance!

Hi dhint4,
Hope things are working out for you while using new Fluid Grids.
To answer your question around nesting of elements :
12.2 upgrade of DW fully supports the Nesting of different fluid elements within other fluid element.
Infact it also supports insertion of non-fluid(normal) element within fluid elements.
This was not available in 12.0 release.
Only caveat while nesting is not to apply same class on both Child and Parent unless the the width of both is 100%.
Also, it is possible to change the number of columns you want for each design view after creating the page? For example, I have 20 columns in desktop view, it is possible to change to 16 if I wanted to?
Currently its not possible to change the number of columns on the fly. We already have couple of feature request to support the same.
Please feel free to add your vote by creating a feature request @ :https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform
Kindly revert if you have any issues or concerns.
Cheers,
Puneet

How do I get my Fluid Grid Layout page to resizes from portrait to landscape for iPhones?

Starting in portrait on my iPhone 4, the fluid grid layout page does not resize when I turn to landscape. After I refresh / resize to fit the page on landscape and then turn the iPhone to portrait, the page resizes just fine. Everything seems to be working just fine on the desktop, ignoring IE. Could it be my media query tags?
If anyone knows a solution, it would be much appreciated. Thanks.
Here is my test page: http://www.bedroomandmore.com/1_b_fluidGrid.html
Here are my media query tags (the first set of rules does not have the media query tag and becomes the default):

I found the problem. There is a bug in Safari for iPhone 4. Use code to fix found at http://stackoverflow.com/a/6379407

Using Auto Adjustable Fluid Grid Layout Divs to balance two columns

I have a header band, two columns and then a footer band in the layout that I'm working on.I have Div on each side that is set to "Auto" for height so that the two column lengths appear to be the same size when they get to the footer band. That is how I envisioned it, in practice, "Auto" only seems to adjust to the text inside the respective divs.
Something that"hould" be soesy has gotten me banging my head for four days. I thught I had a solution, using "nesting tags" but saw that was not supported.
Any ideas?

Fluid grid layout problem

I am trying to create a fluid grid layout. In fact it is why I purchased Dreamweaver CS6. Problem is after I create the first div which I named header it works fine. However, on inserting the next div Dreamweaver inserts the following text in my index.html:
@charset "utf-8"; /* Simple fluid media Note: Fluid media requires that you remove the media's height and width attributes from the HTML http://www.alistapart.com/articles/fluid-images/ */ img, object, embed, video { max-width: 100%; } /* IE 6 does not support max-width so default to width 100% */ .ie6 img { width:100%; } /* Dreamweaver Fluid Grid Properties ---------------------------------- dw-num-cols-mobile:3; dw-num-cols-tablet 8; dw-num-cols-desktop: 12; dw-gutter-percentage 20; Inspiration from "Responsive Web Design" by Ethan Marcotte http://www.alistapart.com/articles/responsive-web-design and Golden Grid System by Joni Korpi http://goldengridsystem.com/ */ /* Mobile Layout: 480px and below. */ .gridContainer { margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 85.9444%; padding-left: 2.5277%; padding-right: 2.5277%; } #LayoutDiv1 { clear: both; float: left; margin-left: 0; width: 100%; display: block; } #header { clear: both; float: left; margin-left: 0; width: 100%; display: block; } #nav { clear: both; float: left; margin-left: 0; width: 100%; display: block; } /* Tablet Layout: 481px to 768px.

Inherits styles from: Mobile Layout and Tablet Layout. */ @media only screen and (min-width: 769px) { .gridContainer { width: 88.75%; max-width: 1232px; padding-left: 0.625%; padding-right: 0.625%; margin: auto; } #LayoutDiv1 { clear: both; float: left; margin-left: 0; width: 100%; display: block; } #header { clear: both; float: left; margin-left: 0; width: 100%; display: block; } #nav { clear: both; float: left; margin-left: 0; width: 100%; display: block; } }
I suspected the respond.min.js file was causing the problem so I downloaded an update but it didn't help. At this point I am not able to use this feature of Dreamweaver. Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks for the help. I am using version 12.0 build 5861.
I was trying to follow the example in a book I have called Dreamweaver CS6 – The Missing Manual. When I got to the section discussing Fluid Grid Layout, I attempted to follow the example step by step. I was able to insert the first div which I named header. I looked at my css file and it had placed the #header.
I knew that I had to remain within the container div. I went into the code view and placed the cursor to the right of the header div. I then clicked the insert Fluid Grid Layout Div Tag button. That’s when it automatically inserted all of the code I indicated in my post.
I then started to follow the example in http://www.adobe.com/inspire/2012/08/fluid-grid-layouts-dreamweaver-cs6.html . I got the same results.
I’m beginning to wonder if there is an error in the Dreamweaver software itself.
Any help you can give will be appreciated.

How to Get SWF to be Responsive in Fluid Grid Layout?

I inserted my swf in a fluid grid layout div tag so it would fit on any screen. But no matter which Scale setting I use for the swf (noborder, default, exactfit, noscale, or showall) nothing works.
Take a look This one is exactfit. It scales but does not maintain the proper aspect ratio.
http://savcp.com/index-fluid-05.html

Line 177 & 189, change:
<param name="scale" value="exactfit">
to:
<param name="scale" value="showAll">
showAll will maintain proportions while fitting to 100% width & height - but beware your container holding the SWF will show the background color of SWF (black in your case) when you're sizing down. You could consider changing it to your site background (gray) to ensure it doesn't look odd.
On a sidenote, why are you worried about putting a SWF file into a responsive design? It will not work on mobile devices anyway!

DW6 fluid grid layout issue: writes to page instead of css file

Using DW6 (version 12, owned, build 5861) on Windows 7 64 bit.
Following tutorials and the help files to use the fluid grid layout.
Start a blank page on a new site, which inserts the starter div and new css file
Immediately save page, which also generates/saves ancillary files (js and css).
Remove inner div that's created in order to use my own (have also tried leaving the default one in place and using that)
Insert new div, within the "gridContainer clearfix" div.
Place cursor just after that new div, still inside "gridContainer clearfix" and add new "fluid grid layout div tag", new row.
Following same method, do so again.
Dreamweaver adds the generated CSS code to the actual page instead of the expected div, visibly (minified)....and everything breaks. It does *not* add the code into the CSS file from there on and the only way to have it display the div (which does not show any visual indicators since the CSS is basically lost that would do so, is to CTRL-Z to undo the last step. It undoes the CSS showing as the only content in the HTML file, and *does* show a div with the name I'd given it. If I copy/paste that generated CSS into the fluid css file *then* CTRL-Z, it looks the way it's supposed to, with drag handles, visible indentations and so on.
If I then change div widths or position, it does record those changes in the CSS file, so it appears this is only when inserting new divs after the second one that's a problem (third div inside the container is when it starts choking; none overlap).
This is repeatable, on both desktop and laptop, running the same version. I've tried saving after every div insertion, only saving at the start, code view only, split only...
I've tried searching for someone else having this issue and must not be wording the search properly, can't find anyone else seeing this. It's a weird one.
If anyone can point me to something to try so the workaround isn't needed, it would be appreciated.

OK try this workflow.
Create a new FGLayout and SAVE. This will save your CSS file with whichever name you give it.
Switch to Design View. Click on Mobile Display. Build your mobile layout first since this is what everything else is based on.
Insert a few Divs and don't worry about content. Just get the basic Div structure stacked one on top of the other like this:
<div class="gridContainer clearfix">
     <div id="div1">
          Div 1
     </div>
      <div id="div2">
          Div 2
     </div>
     <div id="div3">
          Div 3
     </div>
      <div id="div4">
          Div 4
     </div>
</div>
Hit Save and name your HTML file.   Do not edit the CSS file. DW will generate the necessary layout code for you.
Switch to Tablet Display.
Grab the right side handles to resize divs and move to row above as desired.
Save often during development.
Switch to Desktop Display and repeat.
Once your layout is built, test media queries by previewing in browsers by resizing viewport
When you are completely satisfied with your responsive layout, begin adding content and use a separate external style sheet for content styles. DO NOT EDIT boilerplate or Layout CSS files as doing so could break your layout.

Full width slider in a fluid grid layout ???

I'm fairly fluent in Dreamweaver building fixed pixel sites, but cannot seem to grasp fluid grid layouts. At least with what I'm trying to accomplish. mostly all of the tutorials Ive seen dont address anything complicated.
Question:
I'm trying to achieve a 100% nivo slider at the top of a page, with a main body area below it that only uses 960px or what ever the equivalent would be as a percentage. How do I do this?
Initially for testing purposes, I tried to experiment by simply creating two divs. One full screen and one less than that. What I am seeing first is that after creating two divs, and placing color in the divs, when viewed in browser, it does not fill the screen and leaves a small margin on either both side. Looking into the css properties, there's padding in the grid container and the percentage is less than 100%. Why If 100% is selected when setting the new document properties.
Maybe this is the wrong way to achieve what I'm trying to achieve, but I did attempt to get started here. I'm totally lost here guys and girls. Are there any advanced tuts out there that address this?
Thanks in advance!

</div>
</body>
</html>
@media only screen and (min-width: 769px) {
.gridContainer {
    width: 98.5507%;
    max-width: 1232px; (I deleted this)
    padding-left: 0.7246%;
    padding-right: 0.7246%;
    margin: auto;
#LayoutDiv1 {
    clear: both;
    float: left;
    margin-left: 0;
    width: 100%;
    display: block;
#LayoutDiv2 {
    clear: both;
    float: left;
    margin-left: 22.549%;
    width: 54.9019%;
    display: block;

Thanks for the input. I have the slider working now. Placing it before the grid container worked. Also setting the desk top grid to 81-88% answered my other question. That renders the gutters I'm looking for. But I have a question. I asked this above. If I select 100% on the mobile, 100% for tablet, and 88% for desktop, why does DW produce padding in the css files? I keep hearing references to not mess with the css file, and create a new file to perform styling. Can I safely delete this padding and change this percentage to 100%? Confusing to me. If it's mobile first, and all calculations are based on these numbers, then.... Well you understand what I'm saying.
/* Mobile Layout: 480px and below. */
.gridContainer {
    margin-left: auto;
    margin-right: auto;
    width: 96%;
    padding-left: 2%;
    padding-right: 2%;
So secondly, do we create a separate css file for styling?
And third, how do you create subsequent pages. Does this work with dwt files?
Thanks in advance. I will get my head around this soon, I promise.

How Do I Put Pictures anywhere in fluid grid layout??

Hi,
I was wondering how you put pictures anywhere you want in fluid grid layout without having to use the fluid grid layout div tag. I find it easier to use the ap div and simply insert pictures and move them freely however when i do that they dont stay in the correct place and the other grids? Is there an easier way?

Sorry but APDiv tags don't work in Fluid Grid layouts. That's why Adobe removed them from CC.
You must use the Fluid Grid divs in your layout to hold your text and images.
<div class="gridContainer clearfix">
     <div class="div1">
          insert image here...
     </div>
     <div class="div2">
          insert image here...
     </div>
</div>

Background Images in Fluid Grid Layouts

How can I get the background image that I assign to a fluid grid layout div to fill up 100% of the grid space and at the same time size the background to the fluid boundaries of the div the same way as if I had placed an image into the div? Currently, the background image lays in the grid at the pixal size of the background picture with only the portion of the background showing commenserate withthe size of the div contents. I use CS6.
Thank you.

In your CSS Styles menu, if you double click on the layout div you are working on or the grid container, you will find that the image will show if you hit the return key. If you create a table bigger than the div tag or grid container, it will automatically resize and you be able to see your image. Thats a couple of cheat ways so you can see your image when you work and when you publish.
It just means you will have several of this code: <p> </p>
The image will only show the width and the height of layout div that you are working in.
I have been able to place one fluid grid layout div tag inside on another, although I find that if I make this a template file, the template tends to break over time. Not sure it that's because I am giving Dreamweaver a headache with multiple fluid grid layout div tags inside each other.
The most I have done: 1st level grid container, 2nd level inside grid container were layout div for spry collapse panel menus, 3rd level inside layout div for spry collapse panel menus were sub menus.
I have tried placing one image in the background of the grid container and then another image over the top in a fluid grid layout div tag. The reason why they move is because of the fixed/scroll option inside the CSS style. I found that when publishing, certain browsers shift both images either up or down. This can be a problem, especially if you create an image with a white box and try to align the second image up inside.
It probably can be done, and I spent months hand coding and playing with the file. IE8 is a problem and I have added extra code which I found online. Firefox tends to move things on Windows platform, but MAC is not as bad. Safari and Chrome tends to work better with fluid grid layouts. There is an option for the early versions of browsers so they can recognise things.
To resize everything when in tablet and mobile, I found tablet grid container/layout div tage size 80-90% and mobile to 40-50% grid container/layout div tage size.
Hope this helps
