Accessing the width of the Live View

Hi!I have built some CSS code to change the positioning of page content in a fluid manner as I drag the right edge of the Live View window in or out.  However, I do not know how to access the page width indicated by the ruler above the window.  Is there an accessible variable that holds this information that I can utilize in my code?  If so, what is the syntax to use it?I have been searching for an answer but am coming up empty.  My thought was that it would be something called Viewport Width, or something like that.  Or is it just the width property of the page?  A related question is that, given that each CSS selector has properties, what is the syntax for using those properties in calculations while inside another selector?Cheers!

Tab ordering

I'm using CC 18.2, and I've been using Dreamweaver since version 2.0 in 1998 when owned by MacroMedia, and before that used ColdFusion Studio when it was owned by Allaire, so I've been around the block a few times and have been loyal to the editor.  However, your "enhancements" are causing me to look elsewhere.  I tried using Sublime Text for a while, but it didn't do all the nifty things DW would do for me, so I went back and am still using DW.  Visual Studio was another I took a look at.  I code in ColdFusion, PHP, html, javascript, and jQuery, and have found that DW is still the best game in town to do all that.I've logged in several issues on the bug reporting site, but not one thing posted there has ever been resolved.  Does the DW team even participate there and listen to its users?One of my chief complaints is the way DW started handling tabs for multiple open documents.  I used to be able to use the CTRL-Tab keystoke to toggle between open tabs in

Newbie Problem with Centering a Webpage (Nothing works)

Hello.I am new to DW, and ran into a problem that is thoroughly covered, yet does not work in my case.  I have tried for hours to get this to work.  Simply put, I have created a div tag wrapper to go around all of my <body> code.  This wrapper is meant to center all of my webpage content on the screen.  In the attached code, you can see that I have a lot of div tags, and the final div tag is the wrapper which goes around all of the other div tags.  Each div tag contains one webpage object, except for the wrapper which goes around all of them.  I have assigned my css file, "wrapper.css" to the HTML code, but nothing happens.What the heck am I doing wrong?Thanks for any and all help!The HTML:<!doctype html><html><head><meta charset="utf-8"><title>Test 1</title><link href="file:///C|/Users/Mollodesign/Documents/Test Site/logo.css" ><link href="file:///C|/Users/Mollodesign/Documents/Test Site/Products_Link.css

Which units to use for responsive web design

Hello.I am new to web design and have an important question to ask.  We all know that any website is going to be seen by probably every device out there that can view a page.  As such, different screens have different parameters such as width in pixels, and width in inches.  The pixels unit seems inappropriate because a screen can be 4.5" wide or,say 20" wide but have the same ppi.  If I were to use pixels, then a screen with the same ppi but vastly different width in inches will simply be scaled down to fit the smaller screen without any importance placed on the scale of the content, especially text.  I do not want to have to get out a microscope to view the webpage on my cellphone.  So it seems that inches is best, because regardless of the ppi,  I know my content will be scaled to the physical width of the screen, not ppi, which is only a measure of how sharp my web design will appear on any particular device with a given resolution.  Obviousl

Dreamweaver 2018 Design view cursor misaligned in high def display

Is there a setting to align the cursor with the text in a high-def monitor? The cursor appears to be off by about 1/2 character which makes editing in design view nearly impossible. Testing different "insert" key setting was not helpful.Is there a way to prevent the code view from jumping to the top of document when you click on the area outside of a division? This was not a problem in 2017 versions. The code-design views does not jump.I tend to "park" my cursor in a non-text area to avoid entering unknown characters if I accidentally press a key.I set up keys to switch between code-design view (cntrl+Tab) and code+live view (cntrl+Q) to get around the loss of the one-click buttons in DW2017.DW2018  running in Win7 on 3840x2160 dual monitors.

DW Templates [Issues with saving my files]

i just started using dream weaver. I created a home page and save it on my desktop. Then I saved that as a template. I then attempted to add additional pages That will function as my links. So I created a new page for our work, about us etc.  then tried to do a hyperlink on the home page that takes me to one of my test pages. I went into live view, clicked on my first link text on the Home page. after Highlighted I clicked hyperlink, then it asked me for the destination folder And told me to save my new page first. I tried to save it under site templates where My home page was now located and it didnt work. Then I moved all of my files that I had just created to the original folder that they were in on the desktop. Then when I tried to open them back up, it is pulling the html and css of each page as two seperate pages instead of combining them under one tab. I’m lost and need help. Im just trying to link all my pages together So that my navigation flows.

JavaScript versus PHP (not especially DW CC)

I have investigated for a long time (too long) on the net (StackOverflow e.g.) without any success. The question is asked by many people but no one among the proposed solutions helps me. So in desperation, I turn to this forum, even though DW has nothing to do with it. < form id =  "myForm" method =  "Post " action =  "updateMySQLGuests. php " onsubmit =  "return formSubmit () "> This boolean result function checks whether the value of the fields is correct before calling UpdateMySQLGuests.php (for example, verify if the e-mail contains a “@”) to create a record with the value of these form fields by POST method in MySQL. But "action= updateMySQLGuests.php " is executed before the formSubmit() function (which, in fact, is not executed at all). I work in localhost with Wampserver. Thanks in advance for answer.

Dreamweaver live view delayed

Hi there,I'm completely new to Dreamweaver, but I have worked on websites a lot before. One thing Dreamweaver is offering, that got my attention, is the live view for code. I need to say that I was pretty confused when I activated "Live-Code" and couldn't edit my code anymore, but I found the Split option shortly after. Well, I am honestly very disappointed by the live view. When writing code I always need to stop after some typing since it is not fast enough to load really live. That's annoying. I have also tried viewing in browser, but that's the exact same speed like in Dreamweaver itself. Is that caused by some messed up preferences/options or is that how it is supposed to be? I mean... the support page about the real-time preview even shows it in REAL time, so my expectations shouldn't be too high, are they?
