• Design of Dreamweaver CC discovers mess up layout

  I use Dreamweaver CC class, the same file-lesson book 2, open index.html, even in your MAC, design view looks messed up, but using live view, it seems very good.

  -Why, I guess it's from the book, so it should not be a cause of error code problem.

  Any suggestions? Help, please.

  

  Short answer:  Fashion Design is not and has never been 100% reliable.  Do not trust mode Design!

  Use the Live View and preview in browser to test your work.

  Long answer: Design view has been developed more than a decade before and never updated to support modern HTML5, JavaScript, and CSS properties.  At best, it's a representation close but rarely accurate of what we might see in older browsers.  Despite the fact that you think DW is not WYSIWYG.  I hope that will be improved in 2016!

• New web design - learn Dreamweaver first?

  I welcome the Dreamweaver community.

  After 30 years in print design, I finally made a decision to learn a little something about web design. With this goal in mind, when I updgraded to CS6, I bought "CS6 Design and Web Premium" package. The package includes Dreamweaver, Fireworks and Flash Pro. But I'm a bit confused where to start.

  I always buy the Adobe "Classroom in a book" series to learn the basics or new aspects of Adobe products. All three applications have equivalents of the IPC and I think I'll but the first IPC Dreamweaver, Fireworks and Flash Pro?

  So that demand, it's the right direction? I noticed on some forums of discussion that some use Fireworks more than Dreamweaver: I want to just make sure I'm on the right track.

  Any suggestion would be appreciated.

  Welcome to the community of DW, Clinton!

  30 years - which is an experience that you have up your sleeve!

  Web Design, fine, it works this way. It is in 2 parts - to start:

  • Design / layout / layout / wired / UI (two see it differently) - but the end goal is the same - to create the "design", in itself, that your site will look like
  • Development / slicing / Compositing / CSSing / PSD - CSS (again, different references) - make the "design", you did in an application such as Photoshop or Fireworks to be "web-friendly" - in other words, making .html and .css files that are the "basics" for a Web site

  Most web developers (including me) use Photoshop to create cuts of design (PSD files) we send back a million times the customer to get their approval. Then "decide" elements such as backgrounds, boxes, etc... Then open Dreamweaver, write the tag ""-which is the 'what' you want to display on your website (content, tables, boxes, widgets, snippets, etc...). Then, 'style' using 'CSS' Web site - for the match at the "PSD" that the customer had approved.

  That's it: I don't know if I could have put it more!

  CSS - Cascading Style sheet - is a piece of code that tells browsers how your website should be displayed. Height, spacing, margins, width, color, type of display, etc... With the birth of CSS - 3, things are even easier. A few key elements that can make the CSS-3 are lets say, Gradients, rounded edges, etc... (for which, you had to use a real .png or .jpg image in CSS - 2). Now, CSS - 3 can give you the same exact effect with no use of an image.

  HTML - now that HTML5 quickly supplanted the old web standards, you have decided to start your 'web journey' at the right time, I would say. HTML5 has infinite possibilities of creation 'sensitive' Webdesign - reactive, which means Monotype, multi-devices - for desktop computers, Tablet & mobile phones.

  With all that said, that Dreamweaver CS6 has some great tools for HTML5 standards like 'fluid Grid Layout"- with which you create 1 design, code 3 different documents CSS and BAM - your website will be optimized for all devices 3.

  Fireworks - certainly usable for web design. CS6 Fireworks has also some great tools such as 'Generator of CSS' gives you the CSS code for an item of the chosen design - in other words, the design in Fireworks, go over it, fireworks will generate the CSS code for you.

  jQuery - you should watch this - a few great 'plugins' that you can use in your website design / development. Now that 'Flash' is a kind of death (modern Pocket PCs do not support Flash), jQuery is your friend. Best part is completely open source.

  The next step - dynamic Web sites - as its name suggests, you can get in the construction of more "interactive" sites - such as a shopping cart, etc... then once you get a good shot of some basic CSS HTML &. And if you decide to use jQuery, you will get also a script - what is essential to build interactive websites as you progress.

  You can take a look at this video on Youtube. I know that there not too many views. But I personally think it's a good place to start with Fireworks - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NrJmyYfNu1M

  This maybe go a little above your head right now - since you are a beginner to the top. But, feel free to ask questions as and when you have one, and we will be happy to help you! The world needs more of web designers / developers after all!

  All the best.

• Help! Modes of Split and design in Dreamweaver CS5 is disabled.

  The first time I started Dreamweaver CS5 I didn't like the default code / design view my files appeared in. If I choose a setting, preferably where appear files in one pane mode code. Unfortunately, I don't remember where this parameter. I don't know if this is the culprit, but I somehow lost the ability to switch from Split, design, Code Live, Live View and inspect on any web file (.html, .htm, .asp, etc.). Could someone help me understand how to activate these modes?

  

  

  Edit > Preferences > File Types / editors

  The "Open in code view" field is mislabelled and travels many people upward.

  It should say "open only in code view.

  Remove .html, .htm, .asp, etc..  in the list

• This site has been designed in Dreamweaver?  How do you do that?

  Hello

  I came across a cool site today.  I'm a bit new to DW and have no idea how much of this has been done.

  http://cinematicafterglow.com/index2.php

  Any ideas how they do the buttons gradually move to the left or right and then slowly return to their original color?

  A friend told me that it was designed in a program called Drupal.  Any thoughts on Drupal?

  Thank you!

  Gary

  This site was made in Adobe Flash, not Dreamweaver. Flash gives you a lot of freedom to design, but it has many drawbacks too - such as accessibility and Search Engine Optimization questions (to name a few).

• SPLIT CODE/DESIGN VIEW Dreamweaver?

  Hello.
  
  I use Dreamweaver CS3. I have 22 '' dual monitors and I want to be able to see the design mode and mode code of a page at a time vertically not horizontally. Now when the impact of the SPLIT Windows are superimposed. Is there a way to make next to each other or share or something?
  
  I also tried to launch two instances of Dreamweaver, but that no longer works. It really sucks because I want to be able to see my complete drawing while I edit the code/css.
  
  Thank you

  Ok thank you.

  I guess I'll have to work with what I got, thanks.

• Reduce the size of the screen of my reactive design layout (was: Dreamweaver CC)

  I created a responsive design with Dreamweaver Cs6 and now I use CC min 480 screen size is a way to make the smaller screen size?

  Try to set it to 480px size display max .   That will cover all devices from 0 to 480px wide.

  A screen min size is all devices 480px wide or greater.  Make sense?

• Lights of fireworks or Dreamweaver to start the design process?

  Please tell us which is the best application use to start the design process a site, from the point of view of a print designer code-illiterate - I assumed it would be Dreamweaver but read somewhere recently that I should start in Fireworks (which I always thought was more for the creation of graphical web content optimized).

  As a print designer, I use InDesign CS4 (with Photoshop and Illustrator) and would like the tool more logical and intuitive to use to start the work of designing a site with advice.

  Once the design is approved I will have someone who knows what they're doing with HTML, CSS and PHP etc to check everywhere and make the delicate bits.

  Any help in pointing me in the right direction would be appreciated.

  Thank you.

  PS - my apologies if this is wrong forum label, but I posted this question yesterday on the Web Design Forum, but then thought that this may be a more appropriate forum to publish.

  If you are a designer to create a new design, Fireworks is a great place to start. (I can't imagine trying to design in Dreamweaver, frankly). If you are familiar with Photoshop and Illustrator, you might start with one of these applications, too, but Fireworks has been built to work.

  However, Fireworks is not a coding tool. Like Photoshop, it has the ability to export HTML, but the feature is designed to create models, not live sites. After you have your site designed in Fireworks, you or someone else can use Dreamweaver for (re) - produce the design in the code.

  You can use Fireworks to statements your vertical grids, placing graphics header and navigation, place-holding text value (remember that HTML text can be resized by our users, places for blocks of text must therefore be able to resize). And Yes, once you have your design, use Fireworks to slice that design and export the graphics optimized for your encoder to use.

• Enchanting Pro - works in Dreamweaver (design) but no-go during a test

  I know that it must be something incredibly simple, but I want to add text (keywords) using the MYriad Pro font.  When I added to the font family to my CSS it would appear in the Dreamweaver design correctly, including the color.  But when I preview it in Firefox, the police is displayed correctly with the wrong color and then I have preview in Safari and it is hard to see color and police wrong.  It's a mystery to me why he would have been seen differently that it is displayed in the design of Dreamweaver.  In any case, I can put it in as an image, but I really want key words.  Any help would be appreciated.

  Here is the CSS code:

  {#slogan}
  position: absolute;
  left: 695px;
  top: 32px;
  Width: 180px;
  height: 20px;
  z index: 4;
  text-align: center;
  do-family: "MYriad Pro";
  / * police: "MYriad Pro"; * /
  color: f2f2f2;
  }

  HI - first, check your spelling and capitalization. Also, don't forget the # before the hex code of the color (which probably explains the inconsistencies in color). So, don't forget to provide relief fonts - myriad is pretty common, but not as reliable as the basics. Maybe try:

  {#slogan}
  position: absolute;
  left: 695px;
  top: 32px;
  Width: 180px;
  height: 20px;
  z index: 4;
  text-align: center;
  do-family: 'Myriad Pro', myriad, Verdana, Geneva, without serif.

  color: #f2f2f2;

  }

  Since the police would need to be installed on the computer of the visitor is displayed as expected, offer choices of backup fonts that are similar. So, if no 'Myriad Pro', then try myriad, then Verdana, etc..

• Relocation of existing in Dreamweaver CS3 Web site is my question. I just installed a new OS (windows7) on my PC. I reinstalled my Dreamweaver CS3 software, yet, now none of my files are in the right column for the management of my site.

  I'm trying to restore my Dreamweaver site designed in Dreamweaver CS3 after installing a new operating system (now Windows 7). I have re-installed the Dreamweaver CS3 software, so that now all my files are no longer in the right management of Dreamweaver Panel. My site as a whole is saved on a hard drive. It seems that one should be able to import GOLD, even reglisser the entire site (all files) to the existence in the right panel. My 900 + pages manual says nothing about this work. My server host (HostGator) has me download FileZilla for help, yet, so I'm not a computer person will have a difficult time to get more. Anyone have any experience with that can offer assistance? It would be most appreciated. Thank you!

  Go to Site > new Site > DW to tell it where your Site on your hard drive folder.

  Example: C:\YourSiteName.  See screenshot.

  

  In addition, you will need to reference installation log in FTP to your server.

• Button design

  Hello I want to know where button design in dreamweaver.

  Could you help me get it you please?

  It is located under the Live button

  

• KompoZer, NVU, PageBreeze allows you to temporarily change the pages in DreamWeaver?

  Or they will mess up the page because they aren't HTML5? I need to find something for someone who just needs to update a table on a Web page every day. Is there a way they can do this without Dreamweaver when the page has been designed in Dreamweaver? -They cannot afford the subscriptions of Adobe. Anyone has any ideas on this? Thank you.

  Or, if your client is HTML savvy, they could download media (it's free) and use it as their editor.

  Media - a code editor open modern source, which includes the design of web sites.

  I put the table in an include file server to isolate it from the rest of the Web page/site.

  There is less potential damage in this way.
