Very different design than Live view mode

Am I missing something?

Live view mode displays a page perfectly, design view it presents in a way that it can barely be edited correctly.

Just the nature of the program?

Design mode is ideal to add lots of content, but it does not support the many modern aspects of CSS. Live View mode uses an embedded version of Chrome, so it is very accurate. Adobe plan is to phase out the Design view eventually.

  • Model DW: a difference between Design and Live View mode

    Hello

    I am trying to create a model DW. There is difference between mode and Live View. The model contains only a list of navigation style. In Design view, the list is displayed vertically - what is incorrect. In Live View mode, that the list is displayed horizontally - correct.

    Is there something wrong with the model? How to achieve a coherent vision in both?

    color: #cccccc;

    text-transform: uppercase;

    }

    #mainNav a: hover {}

    background-color: gray;

    I have re-arranged things and corrects some redundant/unnecessary styles.

  • In design mode, how to change Panel white so white background text appear? (I keep having to go to the Live view mode to see)

    When I'm adding white text it does not appear as the background entrance sign is white, and I keep having to go in Live view mode to see the spacing of paragraph etc. Is there a way around this, other than to change the color of the text in CSS, for example, black and then to change it before I download page?

    What happens to your users if your background image does not load?  You know that some people turn off background images in their devices.  For this reason, the W3C recommends that you use in your CSS code.

    {body

    Background: url (your_BG_image.jpg) #000;

    }

    Other options:

    • Turn off rendering Style.  In CS6, it's under view > Style made > uncheck display Styles.
    • You can use a Design-time Style sheet.

    • You can temporarily change the background color to the darkness when editing and then change back before you upload.

  • 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.

  • How to pass the album Live view mode Design while working on a fluid page? The drop down option isn't there as if it was on other pages.

    How to pass the album Live view mode Design while working on a fluid page? The drop down option isn't there as if it was on other pages.

    You can not.  If you want to work with FGLayouts, I recommend drop back to the Release of June 2014 CC before they took the Design of FGLayouts mode.

    You can get the version of June 2014 DW direct links below:

    Win: http://download.adobe.com/pub/Adobe/Dreamweaver/WIN/CC/Dreamweaver_14_LS20.exe

    Mac: http://download.Adobe.com/pub/Adobe/Dreamweaver/Mac/CC/Dreamweaver_14_LS20.dmg

    Solution #2: Modify your CSS FGLayout file by adding an X to the code as shown below.  This trick DW into thinking that it is a normal page, so you can use the new Design view.   NOTE: Do not change the CSS in design Panel.  Do it in Code view.  Record.  Close DW.  New launch DW.

  • I can't put files when in Live View mode

    I have my site configured to "automatically download files to the server when checking". When I save a file, it is properly is placed on the server. However, if I have the Live View active and you save a file, I get the error "access is denied.  The file exists may not be not on-site, can be opened in another program, or there might be a problem of local authorization. "If I switch to Live View twice (that is, turn it off and turn it back on), the file is displayed correctly in Live View mode.

    I always have to close Live View before (save) a file? I do this hundreds of times each day. It seems that the file should be placed and arranged Live View mode...


    Thank you!

    Switch to the Design mode.

    I have my site configured to "automatically download files to the server when checking".

    IMO, this is a very dangerous setting that should never be used.  Even the experts make mistakes.

    It is much safer to save first.  When you are sure that your files are good to go, press Ctrl + Shift + u to download.

    After a download session, I always unplug the remote server.

  • How can I prevent the display of the grey turn Code when I select Live view mode?

    I just upgraded to Dreamweaver CC 2014. Now, when I pick something in Live View mode when in split view, Code view window becomes gray. I can hardly see anything and cannot easily find my cursor. Very annoying. How can I change this? Does anyone know?

    It seems to me that you use Design mode in your previous version.

    The editor in Live mode is new to DWCC2014 and later, if you were using an earlier version, and by clicking on the elements in Live View mode, he would have acted like you were clicking on these items in a browser, there is no way to change using Live View before CC2014. The blue plan has been added during the introduction of the editor in Live mode.

    Click on the Live View drop down menu and choose Design, see if that is more as you remember.

  • View. PHP page in Live view mode

    I hope it's in the right place

    I'm having trouble with CS5. I have a page .php not containing any html code I would like to see in Live view mode. The page is hosted on a local server and works very well when I go to listen to excerpts, or open it in Chrome/Firefox/IE outside of Dreamweaver. So I guess the WAMP server, I'm running to test is not the issue.

    When I open the page and select Live View I get the loading bar just above and to the right of the property inspector, but design view remains completely white, as if nothing is there.

    Apache version:
    2.2.17
    PHP version:
    5.3.3

    If you guys have any ideas please let me know

    Thank you very much in advance

    The following article describes how to configure a server to test PHP in Dreamweaver CS5:

    http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/setup_php.html. It goes through the whole process of installation of XAMPP. If you have already installed WAMP, you can jump directly to the section that deals with defining a site and the test server. WAMP C:\xampp\htdocs is C:\wamp\www.

  • (Graphics) CSS styles do not render in Live view mode

    I can't find any tutorials on this particular issue. I guess I hit a button somewhere and off for the Live view rendering in DW CS4. I see very well in the Design view, this isn't a coding problem. When I want to watch in Live view mode, only the text appears.

    HEEELP!

    This happened to me today because I have copied a page in a page and ended up with two DOCTYPE in the same page.  Everything I have said, it could be to do with the way you have written to the page.

  • Some images not appearing is not in Live View mode?

    Hello

    Recently, I upgraded my Dreamweaver CS5 and have noticed that some images are appearing is no longer in Live View mode. When Live View is clicked, both images are displayed in Design view and preview in the browser; However, when you click on Live View, the question mark appears for new photos that have not been used in Dreamweaver before the update. Does anyone know a fix for this? I tried to uninstall/reinstall the software. Thanks for your help.

    What is the exact code of images path?

    How big are your images (file size)?  You optimize them for the web in your graphics editor before you insert in your web page?  Are they saved in RGB and CMYK not?

  • My Canon 5 d Mk II and my Canon 7 d will not work in Av or Sv, but it works if I put it in Live View mode.

    My two cameras work fine in Live View mode, but not in normal viewfinder mode.  And customs settings work fine.  The shutter is damaged?

    Reset them to factory. Cancel all the settings in the Tools menu.

  • Rebel T5 does not work using the live view. Live view mode is enabled, but images are not captured.

    Rebel T5 is not capturing images when taking pictures in mode live view.  Live view mode is activated but update automatic and image capture does not work.  Any suggestions?

    troyantonik,

    What lens do you have and have you tried other lenses with your camera to see if they also not auto focus when you press the shutter button halfway?

    Just in case a parameter can be the cause, I recommend you to reset the unit to default settings.  Follow these steps:

    1. Press the MENU key.
    2. [#3 tools] tab.
    3. Select [clear settings].
    4. Select [delete all device settings].
    5. Click [OK].
    6. Select [clear all custom Func.].
    7. Click [OK].
    8. Exit the menu.

  • div Image is not in Live View mode

    Why can I not see my picture placed in a Div tag in Live View mode? Makes no sense. I changed the z index to 1000, also tried 1 that nothing changes. Please if anyone can help. Thank you!

    It seems the reason why your image does not appear is because of some errors in the CSS. If there is a style that is not closed in the style sheet, nothing below this point will stop working. 2 changes below should make the image reappear.

    {#apDiv7}

    Cs6 Dreamweaver crashes when switching from design to live view

    I'll try later, but I think I may have found the problem. It seems that the cs6 dreamweaver made two files confquration on the same day, but only about 4 hours out. This does not seem normal to me.  Does anyone know why an expensive program like this would do that? Was it a mistake of the operator? I asked the woman who runs this program and she doesn't know anything about the configuration files.
