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?

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.

Why does my text disappears (some of it) when I convert my .psd to a PS .pdf?

I've read every possible answer that it could be, but it increases my .pdf to more than 600 MB, that it will supposed to be!! please advice!!!

What version of PS? What text? What PDF setttings? What system? what fonts? You need to provide a lot more details. If the text disappears, the font may not allow to be embedded or you have applied some formatting or styling that can't be retained without converting it to pixel data...

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 convert to outlines when opening a PDF in AI?

I often have to open PDFs saved from InDesign CS5 in Illustrator CS5 (Mac). These PDFS are saved from InDesign using Press or PDFX1-a settings.
When I open them in AI, I get the warning that "to preserve appearance, some text has been outlined".
Of course, I do not want this to happen.
The text that gets outlined is nothing special. It is seemingly at random within a paragraph or within a cell of a table. In the screen shot below, live text has the blue underline; outlined text does not.
I can see no rationale for it. There is no transparency involved. Just black text on no background. There is no special "appearance" that needs to be preserved. Fonts are all Adobe OTF (Myriad Pro shown below).
Can anyone explain why this happens?

PDFs are not supposed to be edited as a rule.
Lots of odd things can happen to text (but also other objects) when you open a PDF - that is not a pdf with the editable Illustrator file saved within it - and try to edit it.
Illustrator is not a general purpose editor of pdf files.
PDF files are supposed to be an end-format, not a format that you edit.
What happens to text in a pdf when opened in Illustrator is perfectly normal. There isn't really much you can do about it except recreate the text in Illustrator from scratch, with the desired font, and re-export to the pdf-version you need.

Why does nothing show up in Design view?

I'm using DW CS5 and creating a page to upload as a Facebook tab. I'm working in code view and the only thing I have in the code is an image. When I switch over to Design view, it shows nothing. But clicking on live view or previewing in browser shows the image perfectly. In Design View, the screen is gray instead of the normal white and there are two icons (one resembling a think bubble and the other a piece of paper). If I click on the little icons, the gray screen turns white but clicking doesn't allow me to edit or place anything new in Design view. Does anyone know what's going on? I can't continue unless I can see the image and click on it in Design view since I'll be mapping the image to link to another page!
Here's what my code looks like so far:
<!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 Document</title>
</head>
<body>
<script type="text/javascript">
window.fbAsyncInit = function() {
FB.Canvas.setSize({ width: 520, height: 700 });
// Do things that will sometimes call sizeChangeCallback()
function sizeChangeCallback() {
FB.Canvas.setSize({ width: 520, height: 700 });
</script>

</html>

Try removing or commenting out this code.

window.fbAsyncInit = function() {
FB.Canvas.setSize({ width: 520, height: 700 });

Why does some CSS not render when viewed from DW in a browser

I make a copy of my site on my local machine via ftp on my
local machine. The CSS does not render correctly for my top div tag
with the css nav in a browser from my local. It renders everywhere
else, even in the design view but does not render the same when I
view it in a browser from DW. Also, I know that there isn't a
problem with it on the remote machine bc when I go to the site,
everything is fine and the CSS nav renders correctly in the
browser.
Is there a setting I am missing? What is going on? Its very
annoying!

What has Rome ever done for us? :)
Cheers

Why does added text disappear when I move the cursor

After adding text to an unprotected .pdf file the text disappears when I move the cursor and want to add a second box of text. The text in the first box reappears when I double click on the space where the box was. How do I set the text so that it remains visible and printable?

Hi,
I think the data in the PDF file was filled-in using MAC preview.
One option is to ask the user to fill the file again using Adobe Reader or Acrobat.
Or else refer to following link:

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?
Message was edited by: Hogrider03

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").

Why does my text disappear when I apply an effect to it?

Recently, whenever I try applying an effect to my text layer(s), the text completely disappears from the layer and therefore is not showing up when I preview my composition. How do I stop this? I'm using CS5.5 if that helps.

Just the text in my text layer is what's disappearing. I import my image file, drag it onto the board and then click to add a text layer. I type out my text and then go into the effects & presets, select Animation Presets --> Text --> Animate In -->,Straight In MultiLine, drag the effect into the text layer and then my text disappears, as shown in the second image below ...This just recently started happening to me and I don't know how to get it back. I'm using After Effects CS5.5. I'm very new at this programs so I apologize for not being able to provide a ton of info...

Why Does my text disappear when filling a text box?

I am trying to fill a text box a little larger than a sheet of paper (8.5x11). I have typed my statement and copied and pasted it end to end so that my text box will be filled with a repeating statement. When the text box gets about 1/5th full I get a little red plus sign in the lower right corner to indicate overflow. THIS IS NOT THE CASE. The box is only 1/5th full and should not be rendering an over flow. Even if it was an over flow the text in the box should remain visible. Hyphenation is on. Dragging the corners to resize the box is not helpful.
I have drawn many text boxes and used various size fonts and leading, nothing seems to help.

Something is definitely corrupt here. Not only does the text extend beyond the displayed bounding box, but double-clicking on the Characters line in the Appearance panel shows "No Selection," even though the bounding box still shows, and the text vanishes. Attempts to edit the text on the artboard also cause it to vanish.
When I create a new type object in your document and follow your described procedure, the result is the normal, expected behavior. Have you tried to repeat this in a new document? After restarting Illustrator? After rebooting your computer? After deleting the preferences?

Why does my text disappear when I place it on the page in CS4?

The text frame is visible. Is there a setting I have inadvertently used? The text in the frame is visible on the pasteboard but when I place it on the board, I get the little red overflow indicator on the text frame. Can't figure this one out. It is in its own layer on top.Thanks.

Thanks! You guys are fast and it is early there!
I will try this out. Feel siily!

Why does some text script object appear while pressing Alt+anything in Illustrator CC trial?

While I copy using Alt (Alt+drag), while i use pen+Alt, all the time. It's crazy.

Guys sorry, i made it myself. there was a problem in my shortcuts preferences in switching between languages. Illustrator is actually ok!

Why some times jdeveloper does not show a coreect design view ?

Hi
thank you for reading my post
why jdeveloper does not show a correct design view of jsf pages sometimes?
It does not shows labels and ... , just show tag names like : form , ... ?

2-correct page :

I just closed and open the IDE and page designer shows incorrect pages
thanks

Also try this...go to the project properties for the View project. Look at the JSF Libraries and remove the two JSF libraries and then re-add them....this sometimes helps.

Why does some of my text in imessage get underlined?

Why does some of the text in my imessages get automatically underlined, and how do I change this please?

Is it underlining phone numbers, links? You cannot change it when highlighted blue. If it is underlined red then it has registered as a spelling error. Try going to (Settings > General > Keyboard) There, you can turn off "Check Spelling" and it will no longer underline any words.

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.
