Dreamweaver CS5.5 Slow down when minimising and loading pages.

Hi there

 

I'm having a really strange problem with Dreamweaver CS5.5

 

I'm currently in the process of building a CMS for a client and I am experience slow down in Dreamwever when opening and closing certain pages, it also causes slow down/hanging when opening and minimising Dreamweaver itself if these certain pages are open at the time. Which starts to get very annoying when you're swapping between Photoshop and Dreamweaver all the time...

 

I narrowed it down to a CSS file causing the slow down/hanging. This being the main stylesheet for the CMS... admin.css

 

When I comment out the CSS file Dreamweaver minimises and maximises quickly, and the page in question opens fast.

 

The stylesheet is about 900 lines long at the moment, but I've got php and javascript files (and also other CSS files) which are much longer and none of them cause slow down/hanging.

 

I've looked myself but from what I can see all of the CSS is valid.

 

Any ideas guys?

 

Thanks in advance

    Is there anything in that CSS file referencing another external file?

     

    Could you post the CSS file online and give us a link?

    Wow, there is a lot going on in there. I'll see if I can see anything weird, but so far, it's acting the way it should here.

     

    Out of curiosity, have you tried replacing the file with a new copy to rule out file corruption?

     

    Copying everything and pasting it into a new .css file (admin2.css) then deleting admin.css and renaming admin2.css to admin.css will get rid of any corruption that could be in your local file.

    I'm not seeing any issue anywhere  that throws up the big red flag for me.

     

    I'm not sure if it will make a difference, but have you tried removing  all empty and/or unused references from the css?

     

    Maybe DW is getting hung up on trying to figure out where all of it goes, even though it's not using it and shouldn't care.

    Good deal.

     

    It's always something little, isn't it?

     

    One misplaced character and everything goes squealing off the road into the ditch.

    Weird, I forgot to even mention the CSS validator here: http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/

     

    You do have a couple other little errors in there that may cause issues for you down the road.
