Why do the pages shift (DWCS4)?

I have set up a site in Dreamweaver and wonder why some of the pages shift slightly (and I don't like that) when you select them on the navigation bar and others do not? (When you click from Retailer to Developer, the page shifts; when you click from Developer to Research, it doesn't.)
Thanks for you help. Here's the link:

That's often just a matter of some longer pages have a scrollbar and others don't.
You can "force" a scrollbar on all pages with CSS.
There are pros & cons with various solutions
Here's one:
html{
  overflow-y:scroll;

  • Why does my pages shift position?

    I have built a site (kensdigitalart.com).  On the local machine I built the site on the pages always display in the same position.  Once uploaded and viewed on other machines some of the pages shift position slightly.  What is the best way to prevent this from happening? 
    Eveything is in a table.  I originally set the page properties so the table would be centered.  This resulted in some page shifting on the local machine.  I adjusted the margins on a number of pages to make the site display properly on the local machine.  I realize it will be necessary to put all settings back to zero to fix the problem.  Since the table width is the same on all pages and it's set to center the table why is the table moving on some pages?
    I am relatively new to working with Dreamweaver and apologize for asking what may be a simple question.  Thanks for any input.

    You haven't given us a link to your site so it is impossible to be specific.  The ideal place to put the code is in your style sheet so that it propages to all your pages assuming the same style sheet is used for all.  However, for a single page to test, enter the code in the HEAD section of your page.  It should look something like this:
    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
    <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
    <head>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
    <title>Untitled 1</title>
    <style type="text/css" media="all">
    html { overflow-y:scroll; }
    </style>
    </head>
    <body>
    </body>
    </html>
    The emphasized text is all you need to enter.

  • Can't get rid of space without the page shifting out of view

    Hello. I've got a big space appearing above my title line in this page. http://www.sarahpellerdesign.com/jordan/schooner.html See how there is a lot of white space above the words "Schooner Adventuress"? So, I went to the code and saw this on line 56:  <p>& n b s p;</p> (put spaces in there, otherwise it won't show up)
    I tried to delete that line and it resulted in the entire page below the nav bar shifting over to the right, so that it is sort of "attached" to the right end of the nav bar. When I preview it in the Chrome browser, it looks like nothing's changed, but it remains shifted to the right in dreamweaver. Unfortunately, in that position, I can't get to the content. It's stuck off the side of the page and I can't scroll over to it.
    Anyone know how to fix this?
    Thanks!

    Hi Sarah -
    Code view is a better place to delete unwanted code precisely. 
    In design view you can accidently remove more than you intended and disrupt your layout.
    You also have some wonky partial table code at the very bottom.
    <table width="850" border="0" align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
    <tr>  </tr>
    </table>
    After you remove it, run your URL through the validator at

  • Why is the page asking for a username/passoword?

    I am updating a client's site that was created by someone
    else. The html pages are pretty basic, and each have an swf file as
    the main part of the page. I had to add a new page to the site, and
    I opened an existing html page, updated the swf to the new content,
    and uploaded this new html page and the swf page to the server.
    Also, the global navigation is an swf file too, which I
    updated to include a link to this new page. I updated that swf on
    the server as well.
    Now, when I try to go to this new page, the browser is asking
    me for a username and password. The new html file exists in the
    same directory as all the others. The new navigation swf file
    appears and works fine, but I cannot access this new page. What
    gives? I didn't setup any password protection on this file. I have
    no idea why it is asking me for this.
    Please help!

    Are any of the other pages prompting you for a password?
    Check your FTP or server settings; you may have accidentally set
    the entire server or just that one page to be
    password-protected.

  • Why does the screen shift to the last tool position

    I have a large diagram, so it involves sliding the screen back and fort to see the whole diagram.
    If I wire an item then slide the screen over to select another item, the item is selected, however, the screen shifts automatically back to were the previous tool position was. Then I have to re-slide the screen to see my newly selected item. It does this all the time with a large diagram.
    Why does LV do this?

    Save the vi, even though the title does not show "*", but save it just after your move your screen and want to maintain that view.

  • Why is the page not the size of the screen?

    when I open Firefox whether in full screen or not the page only uses the center of the screen.I>E> always has a 5 inch border on both sides. The menu bars go accross the whole screen. Even using zoom doesn't cure this. very irritating if this cannot be fixed I will have no use for Firefox.

    No. Everything is clear but does not fill screen

  • Why are my pages shifting? Made revisions to template then applied.

    I am doing an overhaul of my website. I made changes to my Basic Page Template but the changes affected each page differently. I changed the pages from % width tables to absolute. Even though I applied my changes to all the pages that use the template, the change is not consistent throughout the site. I checked each page individually and each of them had different widths and % vs. pixels. I changed each one manually. I went through the code and I just can't come up with a solution. They still don't all line up when you navigate from page to page.
    Can anyone help me figure this out? my site is deborahdavisdesign.com
    i'm working on Mac G5 OS 10.5.7, with a 2.5gb hd and 1.5gb ram. Using DW8.
    Thanks so much.

    Thank you! I didn't know that. I made revisions to each page. But it was so confusing selecting the tables and putting in the correct value. I must have selected them dozens of times before I was able to select them in all the ways possible to give each one a consistent value. It didn't make any sense to me and ultimately I don't understand how I did it. Do you have any suggestions for selecting tables and the components of tables? And do you have any suggestions for building a better template next time?
    Thanks so much.

  • Why is the Pages app for iPad Mini not working?

    For the last few days I have been having major issues with the word processing application Pages for the iPad. It is taking a very long time to show me my documents, then it takes just as long to open up documents. Then when it finally opens up the document I have selected; the entire functionality is extremely slow and sluggish.
    I turned the iPad on and off several times to see if that would help. I deleted the pages app. I even freed up some extra space on the iPad. None of these things have resolved anything.
    If it is at all relevant I am using the most recent version of Pages (especially since I re-downloaded it). I am also using the latest version of iOS 8 on the iPad. My iPad is synched to iCloud. I have a maximum storage capacity of 20 gb (to which I have only used 675 kb). I am using the first generation iPad Mini (which is the very first iPad mini)
    What could be the problem?
    Should I reset the factory settings of the entire iPad? I'm at a loss of how to resolve this.

    The problem may be due to slow internet access to icloud where the document is being stored and saved.
    Try creating a new document which is not on iCloud to see how the performance is.

  • Why does the Page moves up and down slightly while loading?

    The page jumps (jerky) up and down while loading. The movement isn't great but is more than enough to lose your place while trying to read the part already loaded.'''bold text'''

  • I am about to lose my mind.  Had screenplay all done.  Went back in to tweak the cover page to include copyright, address and e-mail for submission to a contest.  It was after that, that the pages shifted one whole page, so my Page 1 was blank.  I tried t

    Is there anyone with a clue out there, that can help me at all???

    As the title of this post is a bit truncated, I am assuming that the issue here is the empty page just after the title page and you need to delete this page.
    Workarounds could be:
    - You can try deleting some empty lines in the page above it (the title page) to see if it removes this page
    - as this page is an extension of title page, it can be removed through Production->Remove Title Page option. (please copy the contents of title page elsewhere before removing it)
