Problems with Live preview and quick edit

Svenar Apr 28, 2014 11:07 AM

Hi all!

I have just started to use edge code. I have seen some videos on youtube, and if edge worked as seen on this video it would have been wonderfull. The problem is mainly when it comes to the CSS (quick edit):

1, I select a tag (i.e.<P>), and press CTRL+E. Then I get the inline editor.

2. I press New rule and add i.e. font-size:24px; Then after what I have read, the changes should appear at once in the preview.

But nothing happen. I've been thinking: OK, maybe I should try to save, I press CTRL+S, but then I got this message:

an error occured when trying to save the file C:/program files (x86)/Adobe/Adobe Egde Code CC/samples/root/Getting Started/main.css. The permission do not allow you to make modiications.

So, how to fix this? I think edge code is useless witjhout this feature.

PS I have also downloaded brackets, but got the same problem.

Hi Svenar,

The default "Getting Started" project that's included with Edge Code is read-only, so that's why you're seeing the error when trying to save. You can copy the folder elsewhere if you'd like to modify it. (Eventually we do plan to fix this, though).

The Live Preview should update whenever you type in the CSS code, though. Can you check whether the lightning bolt icon (in the upper right) stays colored yellow? If not, it means Edge Code is having trouble connecting to Chrome.

Hi Peter!

I have started all over agian, with at new folder this time. I have created a VERY simple html:
<html>
      <h1>hello</h1>
</html>
and A very SIMPLE style sheet file:

p {
    font-size: 24px;
}

h1 {
   font-size: 2px;
}

What I found strange is that the font size is the same if I select font-size=32px or font-size=2px......

the lightning bolt is yellow (or should I say orange)......

Svenar,

That might be a little too simple for the Live HTML parser. Try adding <head> and <body> tags.

Svenar,

It's hard to read your last comment because it looks like the HTML code you pasted didn't get escaped properly. But in your simpler example above I think the CSS won't apply at all because you didn't include any <link> tag in the HTML to load the CSS file.

We still can't see the code you're posting (make sure you use the forum's WYSIWYG editor)... but I'm glad you found a way around the issue :-)

A new version of Edge Code CC is available that fixes this problem.
