Design mode - cannot select text, only the Divs

This is a page I have did not build, and I hope that I can describe it correctly. Here are the published page-

www.WheelTime.com

I'm in CS4 and there are two things happening when you try to change in design view. The first is that I can't select text content. Clicking to select such content, for example a line of text or a Word, selects and highlights the container div any and all content to the breast in a big piece. Why is DW not let me choose the actual content? It's the first time I met enver this problem.

It is the same for all ontainers div on the page. But a related problem may have to do with this content area. In design mode, there is a fixed height, so not only can I not select content, but I do not see everything. It of OK in the browser, develops as it should. I have looked at all the properties of any place and don't see any height attribute anywhere, particularly those that define this content area.

A you ask - this content area is warpped in a 'main content' div, with a class applied. But this div has no corresponding entry or properties in the style sheet. I can see where a div can be used has no specific properies of its own, but it's OK, not at all mentioned in the style sheet? And this can affect what happens in Design view editing?

So, I guess that the question is what governs this inability to change in Design view?  Thank you in advance!

Have you tried to double click on the content?

I do not know what causes this exactly, but I downloaded your page and it ran into my DWCS4. Until I double click on the content of the div, it does the same thing. Allowed me to select without problem from there.

It may have something to do with the content that is wrapped in the tags within each

.

On your other question, your

is affected by the class .container in your style.css instead of an id #main file - container.

EDIT: The HTML id Type

used to identify the elements for many purposes, not just css. There is no problem with giving an element an id simply for organization purposes, although usually they are used as targets for javascripts, css, or php script ends.

  • Cannot select text in the file Acrobat DC

    The old Acrobat had a hand picker icon and text that I could use to pan the page of the document or selection of text in the page.

    Help, please. I am very frustracted with the toolbar being changed to useless tools.

    Hi MChampa-

    You don't need to add anything to the toolbar as it exists already. Make sure your program window is wide enough to see the tools. You have the Pan tool and the text tool on the toolbar of controls on the Page, shown here as a floating toolbar.

    You must move your cursor to the bottom of the document window in order to see the controls on the Page if they are floating. If you prefer, you can anchor the with the toolbars at the top of the page by clicking on the icon to the right indicating the arrow upward. The two icons on the left are the ones you describe, I believe.

  • Cannot select text in the drop-down menu after you have installed Indesign CC2015.

    I cleared the cache of police, I have re-installed the whole program and I checked the other apps for similar problems, there are none. Not really sure where to go from here.

    As a work around, I am able to scroll through the list and make your choice with the keys on my keyboard. Not really ideal if!

    Any suggestions?

    No, if it works in another account we need not the test Mode without failure.

    Make sure InDesign is closed, then:

    See replace your preferences for the paths to the TWO hidden folders where the prefs are located and rename or delete them in the original user account. A copy of these two entire folders, not only the content from the account that works and stick to the appropriate locations in the account which is not.

  • Change selected text in the TextInput, TextArea controls color

    I can't find a way to change the color of the selected text in the TextInput or TextArea controls from the default black.

    Could someone point me in the right direction on how to do this in AS3.

    I thought it would be a style or a property, but in this case I must be missing it.

    Thank you

    Unfortunately, there is no support for this.  There is in the new text layout framework

  • With 10 FF, when you access fields: no cursor doesn't appear, cannot select text, no visual indication that you have access to a field.

    When you click in a field to enter text (as in this text box), no visual indicator appears (for example, a cursor blinking) to let you know that you have access to the field. In addition, when you select the text in the field, there is no indicator that you have selected text (do not be highlighted). The only way to know is to start typing or trying to cut text or paste text. It is not at all intuitive.

    You encounter this bug that will be fixed in Firefox 10.0.1, eventually published later this week.

  • Problem with the text in the div tag

    Hey there,

    the question that I have is that every time that I add text to a div tag and press 'enter' to start on another paragraph, the text on the first paragraph right guard moved down to about a paragraph. It happens in Dreamweaver and the browser when available is presented as a preview. I have included a few pictures below, please advise.

    First added text, which seems fine:

    But when I try to type the text after pressing "enter".

    Screen shot 2013-10-09 at AM 09.28.20.png

    I want the text to align to the top instead of from a paragraph down. Something like this (made in InDesign):

    Screen shot 2013-10-09 at AM 09.28.42.png

    I will include the code as well. When I select the div tag, it's what is highlighted in the code pane:

    < div id = "about6" >

    < p > Hey there < /p >

    < p > Hey there 2 < /p >

    < p > Hey there 3 < /p >

    < p > Hey there 4 < /p >

    < / div >

    Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

    Paragraphs, titles etc. have legacy browser style rules.

    We can remove the style by adding rules to the top of the stylesheet

    * {

    padding: 0;

    margin: 0;

    }

    Even better is to include a CSS reset set of rules such as found here http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/css/reset/

    By the way, please note that the use of identifiers will limit your fun by using style rules. You should not use ID unless needing a single login. In your case, I would use a class.

    Heights of adjustment are also going to strangle the natural flow of your document, especially if you intend to start on the drawings of fluid

    I hope this helps.

  • In designer Mode, it is Possible to the spacing between the lines of control?  How?

    Hello

    Is there another way to control the spacing between the content PUSHING words to the next line with SPACE?

    http://www.collegestudentvoice.com/

    Even when I opened UNTITLED' page without my customized page layouts there is a space between line in own page why I write sentences.

    see you soon,

    Dreamweaver101.1

    (1) never trust design mode - only view that counts is rendered in a web browser.

    (2) padding using CSS, margins and the row height to control spacing. Use not (nonbreaking space) or
    General formatting tags!

    (3) Dreamweaver is not a word processor. It is futile to try to use it as such.

    (4) give up the idea that you can control all aspects of the presentation of your document. You can not. Users viewing your page will use different settings, have different fonts and do different things beyond what you expect always. So instead of "force" users to view the document the way that you think it should be considered, use the flexibility of HTML documents to allow the user to view your content in a way that suits them best.

    As always, to learn the language (HTML and CSS) to get the best results on the environment (web pages). I hope this helps.

  • Cannot select items on the page except on the specific layer

    I'm having a very strange problem in Fireworks CS5. I can't select something on my page unless I go and find the appropriate layer and select this layer. Then only, the elements of this layer will be available for selection.

    I looked through the preferences and there is no option for this market. It's terribly disturbing to my workflow. Anyone has this problem or knows how I can fix this problem?

    Thank you

    Looks like a case of simple Edit Mode.

    In the layers panel, on the far right, click the icon in the properties panel. In the list of context properties of Panel make sure you that single layer editing is switched off.

  • The selected text in the menu drop-down is white.

    Whenever I move my mouse over the text in the drop in firefox 21.0, it shows white and is virtually unreadable. Does anyone know how to solve this problem. I'll try to add a screenshot in safe mode, because it does not work.

    You use Firefox for a particular reason in Windows XP compatibility mode?

    Make sure that you are not Firefox running in compatibility mode.
    You can open the properties of the desktop Firefox shortcut via the context menu and check under the tab "compatibility".
    Make sure that all items are disabled in the tab "Compatibility" in the Properties window.

  • Rental menu bar dropdown displays is more suggested url text, only the favicons

    The drop down menu no longer appears visible text of the bookmark or visit history. Display the favicons and field background changes color on mouse / sensitive and blind clik (based on the favicon) will launch the site.

    Could be a setting somewhere jumped the track and set the display of text on background of the field.

    This problem may be caused by an extension (Delicious) that is not working properly.

    Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance).

    • Do not click on the reset button on the start safe mode window or make changes.

    This is a network printer.

    Please help, I am ready to send this thing back!

    How do I do this, download a PCL5 driver?  Or is it that easy?  And when I mean graphic, it downloads the lines on the tax forms, no text, just the lines.

  • Select text in the text box based on user input?

    I need to select (highlight) text that is present in the users choice i.e SystemPrompt from TextArea is shown where the user enters the desired text and if this text is currently present in the text box, put it highlighted, otherwise display additional information. Something like the search feature in the standard Notepad application.

    I can't find what I'm looking for in a TextEditor.

    Text of the text box is available by using the text property.

    If you can access the text typed by the user and then the index can be easily calculated. Something like this (untested):

    QString textAreaText = textArea->text();
    QString userInput = ...;
    
    int startIndex = textAreaText.indexOf(userInput, 0, Qt::CaseInsensitive);
    int endIndex = startIndex + userInput.length();
