PLEASE HELP!!

May 18, 2012 11:33 AM

Hello Everyone.

I hope to make sense with this issue, here we go.

 

I bought a RESPONSIVE template, as you know this template basically come already set up to be seeing on desktop, Ipad,Smartphone,etc, well here is my issue.

 

I am not a web developer, but I do have a decent understanding enought to build a website on my own, but this time I really don't know what to do, when I SPLIT the view of my template, the template that come up on the right side is the one for Smartphone I believe, when I hit design only the template shows in the whole screen, I do my changes and everything but when I upload it online everything goes bad.

 

Online I don't see The changes, but on my Ipad,Ipod,Android and Blackberry, YES, what am I doing wrong?

 

What I a trying to find out is how can I have on display the actualy format that I am working on it, for me is easier to work on design mode, but with this issue I can't because I will be working on a different format.

 

I hope all this made sense..

 

Thanks

    In Dreamweaver CS6, icons are at the bottom of your screen for mobile, tablet & desktop view.  See screenshots below.CS6-FluidGridView.jpg

     

    In addition, there is a Multi-Screen Preview that shows your page 3 ways.

    See CS6 Fluid-Grid Layouts (Adobe TV)

    Looks OK to me in Firefox 12 with viewport resized.  I can see Mobile, Tablet and Desktop layouts.

     

    This image is too wide for smaller devices.  You should use width in percentages rather than pixels.

    Also, I notice you're using the ALIGN attribute which is obsolete in HTML5 doc types. Better to use CSS classes.

     

    CSS:

         .center {text-align:center}

         .justify {text-align:justify}

     

    HTML:

         <h3 class="center">

         <p class="justify">

    For a non-coder, responsive web design is a very ambitious project. Even for experienced developers, the complex CSS can be quite challenging.

     

    You might have better luck disabling CSS styles and just focus on the HTML to get your content in order.

    View > Style Rendering > un-tick Display Styles.

     

    Our Staff page is blank but I can't see anything that explains why. However, if I disable CSS in my browser, I can see text on the page.

     

    To nail down the problem you would have to compare code in a working and non-working page.  I realize you purchased this template thinking it would help you, but I think it's way too advanced for you to work with in Design View.

     

    It might help you to build a test site with Media Queries first so you can see how all the parts come together.
