    How to "view" entire page?

    inHaliburton Community Member
      Hi, I'm demoing Dreamweaver.

      When I import pages from website, and view pages in "design" mode, I'm only seeing part of page (the navigation SSI). My pages ara all .shtm (SSI). What I'm seeing is just part of the page, one of the SSIs.

      In "code" view, all the code is present.

      Able to see entire page in "browser" preview.

      I'm probably doing something simple wrong.

      Would appreciate any suggestion.

      Regards, Paul.

          It sounds like your SSIs have more code than is needed. Make sure there
          are not <BODY> or <HTML> or <HEAD> tags in your SSIs.

            guess based on many past examples-

            if a page with an SSI only partially displays in design view, it's probably
            because the SSI include file is a complete html document with it's own head
            and body tags. That makes the main assembled file have multiple head and
            body tags and dw can't make sense of it.

            if that's the case, strip the included files down to just the html that is
            correct syntax for where they are included in the main document.

            if there is anything in the head section of the include that needs to be
            kept, such as js functions or links to external stylesheets, put that info
            into the head section of the main documents.

              Hi Dooza and Alan,

              I appreciate your detailed response. The way you have described makes perfect sense.

              I'll do what you suggest and let you know how it works out.

              Regards, Paul.

                WoW!

                I'm impressed, you people are good. You've no idea how much time I've spent trying to figure this out.

                I have some other issues throughout the site but will ask as I come across them.

                As you can see, I'm not educated in this field. I payed a person to put it together. I've been adding pages and making changes for the past several years. Hence, I've messed some of the pages up.

                Making the changes you both suggested has "fixed" a few other glitches, too.

                If interested, here's the site in question:

                  Your copy needs some work (spelling, punctuation, grammar etc.), and
                  your justified text doesn't look so good, IMVHO.
                  I'd be happy to point out your problem areas if you so wish.

                    And:
                    javascript error (Haliburton-Highlands.shtml, Line 17):
                    else winFeatures = "" if (openPopWin.arguments.length == 6)specified

                    SB:
                    else winFeatures = if(openPopWin.arguments.length == 6)
                    or better yet:
                    else winFeatures = if (6==arguments.length)

                      Hi Mick,

                      Sure, I'm open to any suggestions that will improve the site.

                      I change the code that you suggested. However, it appeared on line 32, not line 17.

                      Regarding the content on that page, it was a copy and paste, and is outdated. I have to update.
