1. Re: cs6 win7 css statements do not appear in design view. They work okay but cant monitor them.
MurraySummers Aug 5, 2012 8:08 PM (in response to joe dora)CSS has no design view. CSS styles HTML and it's the styled HTML that appears in Design view.
Point me to the section in the DWCS5 tutorial that implies otherwise, please.

John Waller Aug 5, 2012 8:47 PM (in response to joe dora)In Dreamweaver, ensure that View > Style Rendering > Display Styles checked and that the stylesheet has been attached to the index.html page.

5. Re: cs6 win7 css statements do not appear in design view. They work okay but cant monitor them.
MurraySummers Aug 6, 2012 4:14 AM (in response to joe dora)I'm confused. What does your last post mean? And the Design view image that you show in the post before that suggests that you have no CSS styling for that HTML.
Why not just show us your HTML to start, please?

MurraySummers Aug 6, 2012 6:13 AM (in response to joe dora)The CSS that you show is using ID selectors. To be expressed, the HTML you have should also be identified with the correct ID values. Can we see your HTML?

MurraySummers Aug 6, 2012 7:28 AM (in response to joe dora)When someone asks to see your code, the best way to show that (short of actually posting a link to the live page) would be to copy and paste the code into a reply rather than using an image.
Do you see the correct layout in browser preview?

Jon Fritz II Aug 6, 2012 7:48 AM (in response to MurraySummers)Ah, those aren't actual CSS statements, they are simply HTML text meant to show you where the content goes in those particular <div> tags in design view.
You can type them in if you like to have the same stack look.

MurraySummers Aug 6, 2012 8:26 AM (in response to Jon Fritz II)HAHAHA - those divs are empty in the HTML. That's why you don't see them in Design view. D'oh....

I copied and pasted the code.
I still would like an answer to my question. It must be simple because I am creating a lot of laughter.

Jon Fritz II Aug 6, 2012 9:03 AM (in response to joe dora)Type the text you see into the empty boxes in Design View or between the >< of the div tags in Code View, that's it.

joe dora Aug 6, 2012 9:37 AM (in response to Jon Fritz II)But you see I still dont have those stacks..It is true I should show the image between the div. So I did insert the image and now I have 2.
ALSO i DID NOT INSERT THE MAIN IMAGE AND i HAVE ONE. i DID ALL THIS BEFORE BUT IT DIDN'T SHOW UP ON MY CODE. Look I am getting nervous I was typing in upper case. I still wonder if you professionals understand my question.
How do I make my css or whatever yiu call them show up in my design view like the tutorial. No one has addressed that question.

15. Re: cs6 win7 css statements do not appear in design view. They work okay but cant monitor them.
Jon Fritz II Aug 6, 2012 9:47 AM (in response to joe dora)I dislike being yelled at, but I understand frustration, so here goes...
This code...
<div id="main_image"></div>
<div id="left_column"></div>
<div id="center_column"></div>
<div id=" right_column"></div>
Still has no text in it. In order to have the display you are seeing, you will first need to add the text you see in the tutorial to the <div> tags as I explained above. You will NEVER see your CSS explained for you in the Design View of DW. That's not the way it works. Forget you ever heard the acronym CSS until you add the HTML text where it belongs between those <div> tags.
Then if your display is still wrong, we can try to help you.

16. Re: cs6 win7 css statements do not appear in design view. They work okay but cant monitor them.
MurraySummers Aug 6, 2012 9:49 AM (in response to joe dora)OK - I'll speak slowly so you can follow easily!
1. Change this code (do this in Code view) - <div id="left_column"></div> - to this - <div id="left_column">Left Column</div>
2. Then change this - <div id="center_column"></div> - to this - <div id="center_column">Center column</div>
3. Rinse, lather and repeat!
Now you'll see what you expected to see.
Your image is present because you specified that in the CSS.

joe dora Aug 6, 2012 11:18 AM (in response to MurraySummers)Murray:
You have shown me and demonstrate the correct way. Thank you for your patience and instructions. My site and the tutorial site now look the same. I feel a lot better about the experience the way you handled it at the end.
I will now move on to phase 3. I hope I don't have to bother you again.
Thank you again for your help.
Bye,
Joe Dora
That was super service.
