Forms break WYSIWYG in design view

Andy Bay Dec 11, 2010 5:38 AM

Hi!

I'm currently working with many forms, and I place those forms with CSS absolute positioning. The problem is that in the desing view (where the wysiwyg preview is shown) forms cause little symbols to appear inside the div and they offset the position of the divs.In other words the position of the divs appears different in dreamweaver than in the browsers.

Is there a way to turn those "form symbols" off from the preview so that the div placement is the same in the preview and in the browser?

I have attached and image of the issue!

View > Visual Aids. Deselect Invisible Elements.

You can also control which invisible elements Dreamweaver displays by default by accessing the Preferences panel (Edit menu on Windows, Dreamweaver menu on a Mac), and selecting the Invisible Elements category.
