Dreamweaver For Windows 7 64 Bit
Herminia Remmen
What I do is have my second screen for all of my panels leaving just the code and the editor/live view side by side on the main screen. I then switch to live view as and when needed. Having said that, What I get in dreamweaver doesn't always translate the same in firefox, safari or IE, and each of the browsers do different things to each other sometimes! So, as far as I am concerned, DW's live view should be taken with a pinch of salt, if you see what I am saying.
DW's Live view is Safari - nothing more, and nothing less. Safari is definitely not InternetExplorer so expect to see equivalent variations between all the browsers. But DW's Live view is WAY better than Design view if you are tied to visual development.
My way I decided is: I will have dreamweaver with the code on my 1st screen. On the 2nd I will have some panels and Opera. Opera refreshes every second, so I always have an actual image of the website.
It's might be late answer but for those who still thinking how to work better with DW on 2 monitors, you can just stretch your DW's window onto second screen, then minimise code windows and drag middle separater to the right/left edges of your monitors
The Code Inspector is really a panel, so it will always sit in front if you position it over the other Dreamweaver windows, and it won't be visible while you're working in other applications (but will return to view when you come back to Dreamweaver).
That.... Is awesome. I'm teaching myself web design and this trick is great. I have 3 monitors, so I have my live view on the right monitor, code inspector/css panel in the center, and remaining panels on the left. Thanks!
This error is related to every newer version of Dreamweaver (CS5, CS6, CC). First it hangs when i start dreamweaver for about 20-30 seconds. After that it starts to hang when i finish writing something. I can write one line then wait 2 seconds and it starts to hang. It also hangs when i save files.
I have tried to delete the cache file without any difference. I have tried various regedit fixes without luck. I have reinstalled and deleted all kind of preferences. I have disabled "Enable related files". The only remaining option is to format the computer and reinstall everything.
Have you setup Manage Site on Toolbar/Site/Manage Site. Maybe when you open file, the DW will contact with the server and it takes time. When you save file too. You can disconnect to the server and do your job after that you will commit it soon.
There's a function you can set to automatically upload changed files to the remote server. If you have that set to 'on' and Dreamweaver is having trouble connecting to the remote server, that could cause the delay.
IMPORTANT: Service config (on site I provided you) which is first safe before "barebones config", I'm working with that config now. Not "barebones", configuration....... BEFORE that is ours in this case. Select radio buttons on author's site services test and under that you have "save" button which will deliver a reg file of your taste for speed not just of DW on your comp but for any demanding software you're running...
Maybe it may be weird but i have to say that. My Adobe Dreamweaver CC 2015 frozed many times after pasting more than 800 row html code. Then i right clicked Dreamweaver shortcut icon and disabled compability mode and it started to work properly.
Nothing is working, and this is a Dreamweaver design... It's been for years, and it's work perfect while you have small files. A big file is a problem and Dreamweaver never could handle them and never will, because it's an editor for beginners, do small stuff. Don't get me wrong, I love it, but once you have big files to work with, you stuck. I am using this editor only because of FTP, if I would find another editor with this option, I will give a try...
I just got a 27" Cinema Display and it seems like I could be using the workspace more efficiently in Dreamweaver. It would be great to be able to edit the HTML file and CSS file for a given page without switching windows, and also be able to see the effects on the site in real-time with Live View. I know there's a CSS panel, but I prefer to edit by hand in the code view. I've Googled around a bit but haven't found any solutions so far. I hope its possible...
Using Code Inspector may not help as it echoes the same code content of the code view. You could double+click another code file (could be a css, js or a php) in the File Window/panel. The file will be loaded in a separate code window. Now got to Window and choose Tile Horizontally or Vertically/
Not all that many years ago, pretty much every webpage on the Internet was, at some level, designed painstakingly by hand. It was tough, and before CSS really took hold and became well supported across most common browsers, it often involved hacking a layout together by using HTML tables in a way they were never really envisioned to support.
While some designers developed workflows completely based around manual editing of raw HTML files, the WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) editor began to emerge as a tool of empowerment to millions of amateur and professional designers who didn't know, or at least hadn't mastered, the art of hypertext markup.
Products like CoffeeCup, HotDog, FrontPage, GoLive, and many others filled the market, and many web-based WYSIWYG editors emerged as well. Among the more successful was Macromedia (later Adobe) Dreamweaver, which was among my personal favorites for many years.
These web authoring tools weren't just about WYSIWYG editing; even for those who were comfortable with direct authoring of markup language, these tools offered advantages with template control, file management, and simply reducing the time it takes to create functional code.
But just as these helpful editors were expanding access to webpage creation, something else was happening too. Content management systems like Drupal and WordPress (and many, many others before them) displaced the need for the average content producer to need to edit raw HTML at all. You could easily make a functional website without even worrying about the underlying markup.
So did the rise of the content management system change the web? Absolutely. Did it eliminate the need to hand code HTML? Well, for some people, yes. But as the web moved from a collection of content to a platform for applications, just as many new opportunities have arisen for doing markup. Every software as a service application, every social media network, and even many mobile applications rely on HTML and CSS to render their display. And those content management systems? They still need templates to function.
And though many helpful libraries exist to standardize and simplify the web development process, coding for the web isn't being displaced any time soon. Proprietary tools are still common, but there is a rich collection of open source alternatives out there. Here are some you should consider.
BlueGriffon is an open source WYSIWYG editor powered by Gecko, the rendering engine developed for Mozilla Firefox. One of a few derivatives of NVU, a now-discontinued HTML editor, BlueGriffon is the only actively developed NVU derivative that supports HTML5 as well as modern components of CSS. If your goal is to write as little actual HTML as possible, then BlueGriffon is the tool you want. It's a true drag-and-drop WYSIWYG website designer, and even includes a dual view option so you can see the code behind your design, in case you want to edit it or just learn from it.
It also supports the EPUB ebook format, so you don't have to just publish to the web: you can provide your readers with a download of your content that they can take with them. Licensed under the MPL, GPL, and LGPL, a version of BlueGriffon is available for Linux, Windows, and Mac.
Aptana Studio is an "open source development tool for the open web" which, in practice, means it's more of an advanced IDE specializing in web development. Based on the open source Eclipse project, Aptana Studio features tools for assisting in HTML and CSS authoring, including code coloring and completion, debugging, and outlining of documents. Its main selling point is its JavaScript support, making it a strong tool for developing more complex web applications.
NetBeans is a widely used software development platform for building web, mobile, and desktop applications with Java, JavaScript, HTML5, and more. It has been supported by Oracle (and its predecessor, Sun) since 1999, and in October 2016 moved to the Apache Foundation for open governance, and simplified and streamlined community contributions. Netbeans isn't exactly a drag-and-drop web design application, but it's a robust web-aware IDE. It's a great choice if you're developing web apps, or if you just enjoy coding for the web.
SeaMonkey is a community continuation of what was once a Mozilla-produced internet application suite. While Mozilla decided to narrow its focus to individual projects, SeaMonkey continues to make regular releases of its full suite, which includes SeaMonkey Composer, a simple WYSIWYG HTML editor. You'd struggle to do advanced layouts with Composer (for instance, you can't adjust the CSS display or property to create a two column text and image pair, but would have to use a non-responsive table instead), but for basic pages with zero code written, this is a realistic option.
Aloha Editor is a JavaScript-based WYSIWYG HTML5 editor that allows users to edit content in the same layout that readers view it. This is a pretty unique model, as it's not exactly an application itself, but embeds an editor into your HTML page. It requires a Node.js stack, so if you're not a developer familiar with Javascript then it can be difficult to configure. However, if you're a site admin looking for an easy editing interface for your users to make quick updates to their pages, then you should say "aloha" to Aloha.
The open source content management service (CMS) and blogging platform, Wordpress, features a structured yet flexible page layout interface. It lets you create blog posts and pages with just enough flexibility to let your creativity thrive, and with just enough restriction to ensure that your creation renders correctly in all browsers. With Wordpress, you can have choose your desired level of complexity at every step. You can self-host it using their famous 5-minute install method, or you can buy hosting from Wordpress.com. You can use the drag-and-drop designer to create pages, or you can hack on HTML and PHP yourself. You can choose a contributed theme or you can design and create your own. It's a great resource for anyone who wants to run a website.
