Hi,

Can you check out the Syntax Coloring option in the section on Set the Code appearance on this help page, http://help.adobe.com/en_US/dreamweaver/cs/using/WSc78c5058ca073340dcd a9110b1f693f21-7be0a.html#WSc78c5058ca073340dcda9110b1f693f21-7bdea, and let us know if it helped?

Thanks,

Preran

Ideally it should stay at the last preference you set, so if you leave it enable and create a new document or relaunch Dreamweaver then it should be enabled. A same will happen if you disable it.

By default its enable.

Did you tried reseting the preferences:

Refer below to reset the preferences:

@hyadav - as I said nothing ever worked. Try replicating the problem - open the Code Inspector (alt F10) as a window on its own, on Mac (not sure on PC).

So for some reason it is now working. The only thing I did was tried working in "split view" for a day instead of using Code Inspector to view the code. When I switched back to using Code Inspector it now opens with Syntax Coloring enabled... very strange but now its working!

Not sure if I can survive the split view for one whole day!

lol, I hear ya. I was actually working with an external CSS file. Dreamweaver shows the external CSS in the code side of split view by default while showing the actual page in design view allowing you to modify the CSS with instant resutls in design view - pretty cool feature that I never knew about! Somehow after working like this it fixed the issue... or at least it seems to be working for now!

I hope your problem has gone for good Nolan and will never come back to haunt you again - unlike mine

Well guess what... its back again. I had to reinstall Dreamweaver CS6 due to an unrelated issue and now Code Inspector is back to his old tricks. I can't for the life of me seem to get Syntax Coloring to stay enabled for the code inspector. Like I said before it works fine for "code view" but once I close Dreamweaver the next time I open it "Code Inspector" is back to black and white. Very frustrating - oh, and no, none of the aforementioned documentation helps. Yes ideally it should keep the last setting and does for every file while the program has not been closed, but once it is closed upon the next open its back to black and white code in the code inspector.

Hi Nolan, Kenneth

I have passed your query to the product team and also logged a bug for this issue. If I hear from anyone about a solution, will let you know.

Thanks,

@ Nolan - I told you so!

Thank you Preran.

This issue started with CS5.5 (or 5 I can't remember now - but CS4 was fine, so were any previous versions with the Code Inspector.)

Thank you Preran!

Yes, I would agree with Kenneth, I jumped from CS4 to CS6 and this issue was not present in CS4.

@Kenneth - yes, yes you did... blast!

I am having this problem as well. I have to click on the "View Options" in the "Code Inspector" and select "Syntax Coloring" on each page... Pain when I have going through 200 or so pages.... be nice if there was a site wide setting as I use the colour all the time... regards.
