Design mode select a question

I have a site that I create a dozen pages for. I created the first page, and something weird happened. I never have time click anywhere in my div "maincontent" in design mode, it selects all div I usually use design mode to select a text element and then click view code to go quickly to the part of the code to change it, but for some reason, it selects the entire content of the div. I'm not having this problem with any of the div outside "maincontent", and I've never had this problem before on any of my other sites. What is going on? It becomes very annoying already and I finished only 2 pages.

I'm under DW CS3 on Windows 7 64 bit.

Thanks, Jo

What is going on? It becomes very annoying already and I finished only 2 pages.

It is likely that you have applied an overflow: hidden style for this container.  Try clicking double inside to allow editing.  Or change in Code view.

  • 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.

  • CC of Dreamweaver crashes when switching from mode code in design mode

    I am a recent problem with a file that I am currently working. When I switch from code in the Dreamweaver design view crashes and requires a stop down. Other files seem to work without problem. That particular file has 3 files EdgeAnimation CC cascading which are selected by questions from the media. I can test the page online, but not in design or mode live view.

    As your new page did not plant, which leads me to believe that you have critical errors or conflicts in your other pages.

    Try to run your code through the W3C validation tools.

  • How to set the size of the screen for sensitive design mode?

    Previously, I was able to select one of several sizes of standard screen for sensitive design mode when you test a Web site, but can now only to select a size. Why and how can I change this?

    The drop to the bottom of the list in the display of delicate design is empty?

    You have a pref devtools.responsiveUI.presets the topic: config page?

    If this is the case, then try to reset this pref to get the built-in default presets.

  • Muse menu react only not to the widths as it does in design mode

    I work to make my website suitable and spin the issues with the menu. I have my menu locked on the right side of the screen so it slips in as the width of the screen becomes smaller. It works fine in design mode. When I saw my site in some dimensions, the menu continues off the screen instead of move. My biggest fear is one of my master pages which serves 17 of my pages. The menu works fine on 16 pages, but one page cut the last button of the half that remains out of the page.

    I also have problems in the foot with a block of text is centered on the screen. This is another case where it works very well on design mode but when I saw it, the text block is off to the right.

    Does anyone know how to solve these problems?

    I was partially able to solve this problem. I had two master pages who acted upward and to play with one, unlocked the menu resize and I was able to set the menu to lock, when unlocked it is lacking width sensitive. That solved the problem for one of my pages, but this is always the question. Anyone know how to unlock the menu resize? This seems to be the final fix that I have to finish my website.

  • Cannot be modified in Design mode (try to change the site created in a previous version of DW)

    I use PS CS5.

    When you try to change a Web site made in a previous version of DW I can't select in the edit box or model via the design mode (on any PC computer, I met this problem for a few years now on different computers). Therefore, I have to change via Code.

    When I try to place my cursor within the editable region appears a circle with a line through it diagnal. Sometimes I can get my cursor in there, but I can't control its placement with my mouse. I have to use the keyboard to move the cursor to where I want to. Otherwise, I can only make changes via the Code.

    It is very annoying and slows down terribly my workflow.

    ID can be used only 1 time per page.  You have 2 instances of

    The Name and ID values must not contain spaces.  Unique token to say a single word.

    You can ignore rolling MM_ code errors.  This code will not validate html because it is not HTML.  This is JavaScript.  The solution is to put it inside an external .js file or encapsulate the code inside CDATA tags.

    You have also some CSS errors:

  • HR HTML 9.02 and Source Control 3.1 will not save files in design mode, only the HTML view.

    We use RoboHelp 9.02 (just 9 and charged the next day so up-to-date, we 9,02) and Robo Source Control 3.1 and when we check a file and change the file, we can not save the file in Design view.  If we click on the HTML mode, we can save the file.  We have reproduced this on multiple files at the same time our computers accessing the server.  Now using RoboHelp HTML on a local project is functioning normally, only when we have access to the files on the server we select the HTML mode in order to save the topic.

    While this is an acceptable work around short term, we need this bug to get fixed unless someone knows of a checkbox somewhere that we must check in design mode to record and studied.

    I will be happy to provide you with any input and or test the additional fixes to help to fix this bug.  It is completely reproducible and constant on all tested subjects.  Source code control works insofar as this case the subject is verified by one the other cannot access the topic.  Once the topic is saved in HTML, then the subject can be archived and changes are visible by the other author.

    After the installation of Robo 9, Adobe Acrobat Professional 8 has been removed from the computer and MS Word 2000 did not work.  I've upgraded to Office/Word 2003 and I can now use Word 2003.  I have not attempted to reload Acrobat yet but that is next on my list.  Acrobat Professional was removed from these two computers during the installation.  Word 2000 exists only on the laptop.  I was in the queue to get updated later in the year, so they gave me a key and Word 03 seems to operate normally.  Did not check the Excel or PowerPoint 2000.

    Other news, you may be interested to know:

    • Both computers use Windows XP.
    • Both have office 2003.  -C' is because Word 2000 stopped working when Robo 9 has been installed.
    • Both have with max memory 32-bit operating systems.
    • Both have multiple monitors.
    • One is a laptop, the other is a desktop computer.
    • Both computers had 8.02 Robo? but RH8 was uninstalled before installing RH9.
    • 3.1 source code control has not been reinstalled on the server since version was the same that came with RH9
    • Source control has been reinstalled as a step of troubleshooting on the laptop without change.
    • RSO3 middle-tier service is running on all 3 computers and RSO3 server runs on the server pc.
    • Two users have administrator rights so all of the checkboxes are checked for access and control.

    Having identified some problems in our global variable file in another project, I had a look at this project and found a few variables were empty, have a mystery character input or information applied to the variable fonts.  Rather than change back the variable only one digit or a character with no set form and text input in variables of the virgins, I deleted the unused variables of the project that just happened to 99% of the variables because we divided this part of the project in a booth along the project.  Remove the variables solved the problem where we had to switch from Design view to HTML view in order to save a topic.  I find this rather strange since none of the topics referenced stray variables.  Now we have only the variable of the version that refers to all subjects in the foot.  Everything seems to work fine now.  If you encounter this problem, have a good look at your file of global variables, line by line, to see if there is something other than text or numbers and delete everything except for the text.

  • Table in design mode

    OK so I have this little site and everything was all the puppies and kittens until the day I opened Dreamweaver to find that my left column has completely disappeared.  So, I frowned and reloaded the app and then it was gone again.  The code says this is where the fashion show live view, it's there, but mode design, it is completely gone.  There is a strange little table in a place that didn't exist before step towards design and location in the code shows that it is my missing table.  I don't remember changing anything reguarding this section of the site that I've seen that it works correctly at the time he fell.  the url for the site is http://www.back2roxboro.com section that gives me any questions is the area that starts with my facebook badge and all the buttons below.  These are the elements that are not in design mode.  If someone could look at the source and let me know if something is wrong I would be eternally grateful.

  • Flash IDE components in Design Mode of Flex 3. Can they be visible here?

    Hello

    IM Explorer Flex to get a grip on its concepts and am currently looking into building components in the Flash IDE. Although I suppose that its likely that when you are more familiar with Flex you produce your components in Flex, as I said Im exploring its concepts and would like to know where and how the IDE Flash fits into the work.

    I made a simple component Flex in the Flex IDE, which shows well, when I run the Flex project. But it does not show in Flex Design Mode.

    I exported the Flash as a SWC component and added the SWC to the Flex library path. The symbol in the Flash IDE extends UIMovieClip. Now, I read in 'to using Adobe FlexBuilder 3"(p.67) that the Flex components Panel lists only visible components, according to literature"components that extend UIComponent.

    Note that my question is to be visible on the stage in Design Mode, and not in the components Panel. As UIMovieClip does not inherit from UIComponent (and the UIComponent class does not seem to be available in the Flash IDE), is also the cause that the component of the IDE Flash is not visible on the stage of Flex in Design Mode?

    Can someone confirm or deny this?

    Kind regards

    Marcel

    Hello

    For the IDE flex component, it works only if its a MXML component. It's that it would render in Design view 'stage' if it's a MXML component.

    If it is an actionscript class, it must be available as a library in the porject so that it can be rendered in DV.

    If the component you are trying is an actionscript class, please try to move it to a library and use it in your project to see it in DV.

    In FlashBuilder 4, we support made of UIMovieClip objects that are in the library (SWC) and added to the project build path.

    Kind regards

  • In design mode, how can you add a paragraph after a div?

    Example of the problem:
    1. create a new HTML document
    2. Insert a div tag, insert > layout objects > tag Div
    3. type a few things
    4. How can I now put a paragraph after the Div? Or just get any content inserted after the div?

    I'm competent enough to use Code view, but I plead for a solution in Design mode.

    all the best
    Dave

    Thanks, but it wasn't quite what I was looking for.

    However, the good news is that I just thought about it how do.

    1. Select the div tag (press Ctrl + [a couple or several times])
    2. press once press the cursor right or down
    3 start typing, or press enter

    Beginning to insert after the div. Insert to the place before the left div use or the cursor keys.

  • Font sizes make it too small in design mode DW CS3?

    I've recently upgraded to DW CS3 in DW8 (which is always installed) on my Vista Ultimate system.

    For some reason any CS3 occasionally renders fonts smaller than they "should" appear. This can be replicated using the code below (I realize that this code is not 'best practices' of any measure, but it's the simplest way I could demonstrate the problem). In DW8 design see it makes exactly such that it generates in IE5, 6, 7 and Firefox (with default settings display) but in DW CS3, the police appear much smaller! I realize this is probably a question of standards with the CS3 version probably stick to standards more strongly than the browsers and DW8, but I need the design view to make the browser will be or it is useless for me

    Please, don't say I need to change my code to be more 'standards compliant' as my main use of DW is coding a great PHP/MySQL billing system that is used in a LAN controlled on IE6 only. It was written by someone else and has been added to and updated by myself. It is very large and certainly didn't need to rewrite just to make correctly in design mode DW CS3.

    Any help greatly appreciated

    I have a solution undocumented and unsupported for DW9 Design layout
    Rendering of the view to DW8 rendering:

    Judgment of the DW. Manually add a registration/preference in the settings folder,
    type = 'String', name is "RenderToStandards", value = "FALSE". Restart DW.

    Use at your own risk.

    Hope this helps,
