Dream Weaver cc Design view problems why is completely different design of the live display view

Why Why oh why oh why is the cc Design view completely different from live view - live mode view is good, but virtually nothing is editable. How the hell can Adobe market a web as wysiwyg design tool when design mode is terrible. I saw old messages regarding this versions in 2014 and 2015.

I'm not completely illiterate code but I would change the drawings etc. without digging deeper into the code. It's 2016 I stopped using the ages of tables there are available to my creations, but it seems that all cram into a table is the only way to get a half-decent idea of what is happening in design mode. I use a Mac which probably didn't help, but in the interest of the essential may be easier not more difficult.

If it is true that Dreamweaver is really only for kernel developers hard, they should say so and start promoting Muse or similar for people who don't want to spend hours crafting code in all the different possible options such java php etc to produce a well-designed functional Web site.

Does anyone know if there is a solution to this

Design view has always been horrible to show you the design of the site, but some things worse.

It does not run scripts of any type and more advanced css is completely invisible to the it. Code errors will also break Design mode almost instantly. Make sure you're validating your code under file > validate > validate the current document (W3C) or going directly to the validator online at http://validateo.w3.org/nu. Pay close attention to any structural errors listed are those that make the Design view go nuts.

For what it's worth, DW is not really a wysiwyg program in the strictest sense of the acronym, regardless of how many guys at Adobe marketing wanted to believe this claim. DW requires a solid knowledge of html, css and javascript to get the best out there for static sites. These days, we use floats CSS, margin, padding and display properties to build our page layouts. While the program comes with base layouts, you can click to start with, do not understand the desire of "why it works" quickly cause massive frustration levels.

If you really don't want you your hands dirty with the code, or simply do not have the time to become familiar with the basics of html and css, Adobe Muse would probably be a better option for you.

Here are some links that will help you to understand its relationship to format html and css, and I hope that allow you to make more sense to DW:

  • Satellite L200: Why LCD freezes and lines to the LCD display displayed during charging?

  • Problems with accounts of different users on the same computer, windows xp start Windows!

    Well, here, I have 3 users on xp, mine works fine, but the other two do not. As soon as I spend my user account to one of the other, all kinds of windows setting screens and new program start. None of the programs that I use my account are available on the other 2 accounts? If I try to open a program or file, windows asks each program installation disc? All files, music and photos in each of 2 other problematic accounts disappeared, not where to find them? I tried windows update, nothing happens. I was wondering if something can be done, as a restoration of the system, but there is no restore in xp home system? right?

    mherrg,
    Thanks for posting on the Microsoft answers Forum.  It sounds as if your user profile may be corrupted.  However, when you install a program from an account you must select the option that the program is for all accounts.  If you haven't already done so, you can run a virus scan before you continue.

    The links below discuss issues of user profile and the system restore feature.

  • Operating on using AS3 objects that were created manually by a designer in the timeline

    I tried to build an application where a designer has created content in the chronology, as a sequence of keyframes.  Each keyframe is completely different.  When the application is started I choose one of the frames, move the playhead to that frame and stop (using stop).  Then, referring to the symbols in the keyframe by name, I use AS3 to allow drag / move, and I also do some programmatic movement.

    The problem is that when I use setChildIndex to change the order of a display object (to bring it to the foreground) on a drag object detaches from the timeline and appears in more keyframes (even if it has not been placed in the new keyframe by the Designer).

    Does anyone know how to use the setChildIndex without breaking the chronology?  Or is it possible to use the setChildIndex and then to restore the State of the object changed so that it detaches from the timeline?

    I have similar problems when I change the display list by taking objects created on the timeline and place them in a created programmtically the container.

    It seems it would be a fairly common use case, but I can't make it work.

    Thank you in advance for your help!

    I don't know if the discussion has tangented to help you solve your problem, then ignore it if it is resolved.  I think you must have the object which the index you change within another object which is also nailed to the mounting frame so that when you come out of the framework is still required for this frame within this object.  If all the objects you are drag / drop or it must be contained in a movieclip within this framework.

  • 'Code & Design' and 'Code & Live' problem from view I get in Dreamweaver CC 2014

    Please someone help me.

    Both are open in the same site in Dreamweaver CC 2014.

    I want to resize/change my fluid div column grid in design mode.

    But I m not getting is not the menu appropriate (see-> Code and design)

    Why the problem happening?

    If my page no fluid is active to end edit I get the 'view '->' Code and Design.

    If my fluid page is active to end edit I'm no way to 'view '->' Code and Design.

    but I think ' view '->' Code and live. "

    I can't resize my fluid div using the resize Manager.

    one.pngtwo.pngIt's base fluid, I need 'code and design mode '.

    three.pngfour.pngIt's not fluid based

  • DW CS5 - police displayed in the mode display/Live Design is spec'd like us. The police when Live View is turned off is radically different. Why?

    Subject line says it all. In nine pages, the police specify us for the page appears correctly, regardless of whether the Live View is active or inactive. But we have an existing site, where this is not the case - the fonts non - Live View is very different from what we spec'd (and what we see) when Live View is on... Someone you will suggest where to look for a cure? Maybe a problem of .css file? Thank you. -Jim

    Non-Live View = design mode or in preview in browsers.

    Use Firefox or Chrome to listen to samples.  Right click > inspect element to see what CSS styles are to make your text.

  • Examples of files to start practicing in Dream Weaver 2015 pass not in my documents

    What was the simple process of the sample files download to start practicing in Dream Weaver 2015 are now does not download in my downloads on my PC files, Im wondering if this could be due to Windows 10 that I downloaded last week? When I go to open with DW they have not simply as being downloaded, but when downloaded initially, it looks like, they are.  When I had Win 8.1, I had no problem, then download them. Everyone knows this, or can you help me?

    Ive has figured this now, its because DW does not open zipped files, so I had to extract the location initial document then put into the new folder which then allows DW will open in its own documents.

  • Text fields show only not in Design or in Live View mode

    Hi all

    I ran into a problem when trying to create a simple through Dreamweaver CS6 contact form.  I have two text fields for the name & Email and 1 text box for comments.  The question that I am running is that text fields are not displayed in Design or in Live view mode.  I have installed all the required variables for the server for the form to work... but that shouldn't have any effect on the demonstration of text field...  I tried to download my contact page with the same result of no list of text fields...

    What is really laughable, it is that the "text box", that I placed in my form for comments appears in Design mode & Live very well.  I think I'm missing something, but don't know what exactly.  The form is rendered by CSS.

    Here is the code for the form:

    < div id = "CRDForm" >

    " < form action =" http://www.sweetformimi.com/FormMail/formmail.php "method ="post"enctype =" application/x-www-formulaires-urlencoded"name ="contact"target ="_self"id ="contact"> "

    < input type = "hidden" name = "env_report' value ="REMOTE_HOST REMOTE_ADDR, HTTP_USER_AGENT, REMOTE_USER and AUTH_TYPE">

    " < input type ="hidden"name = 'recipients' value = ' [email protected] "/ > "

    < input type = "hidden" name = "subject" value = "Contact form" / >

    Your full name p > < label > <

    < input name = "Name" type = "text" id = 'Name' size = "40" / > < / p >

    < / label >

    < label > < p > Email

    < input name = "email" type = "text" accesskey = "2" tabindex = "2" title = "Email" value = "Email" > < / p >

    < / label >

    < Label > comments < br / >

    < = cols 'comments' textarea name = "40" lines = "10" accesskey = "3" tabindex = "3" title = 'Comments' > < / textarea >

    < / label >

    < name of entry = 'submit' type = 'submit' accesskey = "4" tabindex = "4" title = "submit" value = "submit" >

    < / make >

    < / div >

    There are other variables that I should think in the rest of my site?  I use a checkerboard to fluid.  I have CSS for office, Tablet and phone devices.  I also have a primary CSS file that imports all three.  Structure sites was conducted through the use of < header >, < article >, < footer > and of course the < div > tags.

    Has anyone already has the "text fields" does not come before? Is this a simple fix like reinstalling Dreamweaver CS6?  Finally, another thing I should mention is that I had a previous version of Dreamweaver on my computer, which was of CS3.  I have do not uninstall before installing the latest version.  I assumed (and I could be wrong here) that it would automatically replace the old version.

    I apoligize for what it is long-winded, but I am looking for help on this issue...

    Thank you

    Take the code you have posted and insert it into a new document in Dreamweaver as it is, record and watch. The fields on the form show? If they do there is something else in your code or the css that is responsible does not appear in this case, we would need to see the entire page and css.

    For me the code in design mode and live mode view shows your form fields.

  • Dream Weaver asks me to save as a template

    Hello!  I open a HTML file, I downloaded and made some changes.  Every time, I'll save the file (CTRL-S).  Dream Weaver appears a prompt asking you to register as a model.  I don't want to save it in a template.  I want to just make a few simple changes and save it as *.htm / *.htm.  I can save it as an HTML file if I "Save as" and then give it a file name, however, I was wondering why DW has been failing to save as a template.  Can someone tell me why Dream Weaver is so gay?

    If you use a plugin like "Of WebAssist Site sculptor" by default is your backup model parameters. If youremove the document Reference , it will disable the DWT record.

    Ignore what you said Uniblue Registry Booster and get rid of it. It and all similar programs, are useless at best and often very dangerous to use.

    Registry cleaning programs are * all * snake oil. The registry cleaning is not necessary and dangerous. Let alone register and do not use any registry cleaner. Despite what many people think, and what software record cleaning providers are trying to you convince to have used the registry entries is not really make you hurt.

    The risk of a serious problem caused by a registry cleaner by mistake delete an entry you need is much greater than any potential benefit it may have.

    Let me stress that neither me nor anyone else who warns against the use of registry cleaners has never said that they always cause problems. If they have always caused problems, they would disappear from the market almost immediately. Many people have used a registry cleaner and never had a problem with it.

    The problem with a registry cleaner is that it carries with it the essential * risk * to have a problem. And since there is no advantage to using a registry cleaner, running the risk is a very bad deal.
