Choose the Install Manually option on this page: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/clarity/setup-and-installation/clarity-setup As far as I can see, you just need to copy and paste the code they give you into the <head> section of your pages, then upload your changed pages. Pasting it into your pages just before the ending </head> tag at the top should do the trick.

Sorry, on the Mac, it might be Cmnd + Option + U for the "Put" shortcut without dependent files.

Jon Fritz · ‎Aug 14, 2025

With the page selected in your Files window, hitting Cmnd/Ctrl + Shift + U should upload only that file. If it asks to upload dependent files, click "no".

I, for one, welcome our new digital overlords and look forward to their benevolent rulership, as they harvest the unfaithful and place them in battery pods.

There are a few places. 1. The border on line 1795 in the main.css file 2. The border-top on line 1812 in the main.css file 3. The border-bottom on line 1821 in the main.css file Commenting out those three settings out removes the lines from your image, but that may also remove them from places you actually want them.

Jon Fritz · ‎Jul 07, 2025

You have border settings on multiple h2 selectors that affect those elements. You may have only wanted the borders on specific <h2> tags, but your selectors that Ben points out, are general enough to cause the lines to also be added to the empty h2 tags in that affected area. For what it's worth, it doesn't make sense to use <h2> in this context. <h2> tags are semantic tags that tell search engine crawlers what the second most important heading on your page is. They should always have important html text between them. There are a ton of ways to go about creating space that won't confuse search engines and screen readers (margin or padding settings make more sense here). Here's some more info: https://www.w3schools.com/html/html_headings.asp

Adobe took down the Wish Form and Uservoice forum for DW feature requests and bug reports a few years back. It's only being kept alive for current users. My guess is they'll pull the plug when the userbase dwindles far enough.

Jon Fritz · ‎Jun 05, 2025

DW is zombieware, dead but still moving. Adobe announced about 5 years ago that they would no longer be actively developing the program, moving it to a "Minimum Development Status". No bug fixes, no new features. The only things they plan to do going forward are some third party library updates, security patches, and OS compatibility fixes. I just turn off linting and use online validators instead, if I use DW to work on something it doesn't understand.

I have this recurring dream where I'm on a porch swing with 90's Sports Illustrated model Kathy Ireland and she's feeding me a Philly cheese steak sandwich while we watch reruns of Gilligan's Island and the Ohio State Marching Band runs their halftime routine in my front yard to Lynyrd Skynyrd's "Curtis Loew"... I really hate saying it, but that dream has virtually the same possibility of coming true. Adobe is allowing DW to die on the vine. There are no new features or bug fixes planned going forward, especially anything that would require a massive overhaul of the program. They announced 5 or so years ago, that DW has been shifted to a "Minimum Development Status" meaning they will only update third party libraries (which they're only partially doing), conduct potential security patches, and fix OS compatibility issues. I assume once the userbase dwindles to some predetermined point, they'll simply pull the plug and DW will disappear from the Creative Cloud and end up in the same fugue plane as Adobe GoLive. Though they have refrained from saying anything like that, given Adobe's policy on product announcements, they wouldn't tell us until the day it happens anyway. It would probably be best at this point to move to something that fits your needs more completely, than to hope DW does any sort of "keeping up with the Joneses".

Jon Fritz · ‎May 29, 2025

In ~2020, Adobe announced that DW would be moved into a "Minimum Development Status" where only third party libraries, OS compatibility issues and potential security patches would be updated going forward. No bug fixes or new features are planned for the program, it's being kept on life support for the current userbase. There's also no planned replacement.

Jon Fritz · ‎May 15, 2025

To disable automatic updates, the setting isn't in DW, but in the CC Desktop App... 1. Open the Creative Cloud Desktop App 2. Click the Apps sidebar item on the left 3. Click the 3 dot icon on the right, next to "Installed Apps" 4. Disable auto updates

Jon Fritz · ‎May 14, 2025

I'm pretty sure the OP just wants DW's Code Hinting to see and unsterstand their custom html tags, and offer them as an option in the dropdown, while hand coding. Poking around, I found a much faster way for them to do exactly that, using the Tag Libraries Tool... 1. Go to Tools > Tag Libraries... 2. Click the + at the top of the dialogue that opens and choose New Tags 3. Select HTML tags from the Tag library drop down menu 4. Enter the text of the tag, without brackets, into the Tag names field 5. Leave the "Have matching end tags" box checked 6. Hit OK 7. Rinse and repeat for each custom tag From there on out, custom tag names will appear in the Code Hinting menu while hand coding.

Jon Fritz · ‎May 14, 2025

DW is in minimum maintenance. Adobe is no longer adding new features or, really doing much of anything with it aside from updating the browser emulator and a couple OS compatibility items. While it would take a bit to set up, you could use DW's Snippets Window to create often used custom code and assign a keyword shortcut to each that you type in and hit Tab to expand to the full code. You can also simply doubleclick the Snippet in the Snippets Window to insert from a list of custom options. 1. Open Snippets with Shift + F9 or go to Window > Snippets 2. Click the New Folder icon at the bottom of the Snippets Window and name it something like "Custom Code" 3. Click the New Snippet icon at the bottom of the Snippets Window 4. Give the Snippet a Name 5. Make sure "Insert Block" is selected in the dialogue window that comes up. "Wrap Selection" doesn't work with keyword shortcuts (the keyword overwrites the code you're attempting to wrap). 6. Add in all the code you want DW to write for you into the Insert Code field 7. Add the shortcut you want to use in the "Trigger Key" field. It should be a few characters long, and something that you can remember, but the Snippets window will also list it next to the Snippet name. You'll type this into code view followed by the Tab key to expand it to your full code. 8. Drag your new Snippet into your Custom folder. From there on out, once you have all of them set up, you can click the chevron by the Custom folder to see a list of both the Snippet name and trigger keywords

In my Chrome browser, your page looks like your second screenshot. I did notice you have a PHP script in the page though. By server default you need to save your pages with a .php file extension in order to run PHP scripts.

As Ben hints at, DW has been in a state of steady decline since 2012. In 2020, Adobe announced that the program would be left in a minimum development status. Basically the only things they plan to update are potential security holes and OS compatibility issues. They also said they would update the third party libraries included in the program, but they're woefully behind on a good number of them, to the point where it's basically not worth it anymore. No bug fixes or new features are planned going forward. I pretty much stopped any kind of web development with DW once they removed the direct downloads for CC2015, the last version before Brackets took over for the Code View. It's being kept on life support for the current userbase. I assume once the subscriptions/downloads hit a pre-determined low, they'll pull the plug completely. Until then, view it as the free web program that comes with a full subscription. There's zero reason to ever pay for a single program subscription to it at this point. There is no replacement from Adobe in their current suite of software and nothing has been mentioned, or even hinted at, taking over for it. It's disappointing to say the least.

Jon Fritz · ‎Apr 23, 2025

Re-reading your post, I have to wonder if you simply don't have the interface set up the way you're used to in CC2015. If the Properties window were missing, for example, it would lead someone to believe there are no options for size, font, or alignment. The properties window can be opened under Window > Properties, or Ctrl + F3. Once open, clicking the CSS button on the left will give you all the options you mentioned... Inserting tables is available in a few places. Under Insert > HTML > Table or in the HTML tab of the Insert Window under Window > Insert. In my screenshot above, the Insert Window has been dragged to the top of the document window to dock as a toolbar (all those little icons). It's not normally there by default, so if you were used to those options being there, I could see how the program would feel very bare bones and almost code-only.

Jon Fritz · ‎Apr 23, 2025

In all honesty, not much has really changed, functionally, between CC2015 and the latest version. There were massive growing pains when they first added the Live View Editor, and replaced the Code View engine with Brackets, but most of the issues were worked out over the years between then and now. I wonder if your difficulties stem from attempting to use the "new" Live View Editor (massive difference between versions) as if it were Design View (nearly identical)? Making sure there's a check by Window > Toolbars > Document will give you the ability to switch between Design View and the Live View Editors. The former should be very, very familiar as Adobe has done next to nothing with it in at least 15 years. If that doesn't get you back on track, maybe if we knew more about your workflow, we could help you with specific issues and get you up and running.

Design/Live View going blank tends to be code errors, however when both Code View and the Design/Live Views show as blank screens, there's usually something corrupt in the program itself. Have you tried Restoring Preferences yet?

Jon Fritz · ‎Apr 11, 2025

It started collapsing around 2012, when Adobe decided not to update the database functionality and removed it from the program, leaving extension developers to make that functionality available for an additional cost. They then scrapped DW's Code View engine and added the open source Brackets code engine to it, losing a ton of functionality and personalization settings in the process. It's been pretty much down hill ever since, with odd bolt-on whizbang feature additions, followed by almost all of it being removed again. Adobe announced in 2020-21 that DW was going to be put into a Minimum Development Status, no new features, no bug fixes, just updates to third party bolt-ons and potential security and OS compatibility patches. Design View hasn't been updated since before you stopped using it, though they made some real strides with the Live View Editor before giving up on the program and leaving it to wither on the vine. It's much closer to an actual browser, but no emulator will ever beat the real thing(s) when it comes to browsers. Personally, I'd collect my things and ask for a refund from any school "teaching Dreamweaver" as anything other than a coding tool at this point. It's disappointing.

Jon Fritz · ‎Apr 11, 2025

This post is 7 years and several versions out of date. In the intervening years, Adobe has added simple checkbox preferences to toggle the auto-completion of braces and quotes. It's in the same location I gave originally (Preferences > Code Hints). Now unchecking them will turn off the functions, making a modification to the same file as the manual instructions I gave previously...

Jon Fritz · ‎Mar 31, 2025

Obviously Adobe will never say how much the program is worth to them on a public forum, but their long history of letting programs die and vanish, versus selling them to potential competitors, should tell you everything you need to know.

Jon Fritz · ‎Mar 25, 2025

Sorry, Adobe no longer offers a way to activate that software. They removed it several years ago and no longer support it in any way.

Jon Fritz · ‎Mar 17, 2025

It's a bug, and it has been ignored for years by Adobe. In external stylesheets, all kinds of more advanced CSS methods are flagged by DW as errors, within a <style> tagset, inside an html page though, it's not. That's probably why Nancy wasn't able to reproduce it. It immediately shows as an error in a .css file for me and DW's perfectly content with it in an html page. When in doubt, use the css validator here: https://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/ With DW being moved out of active development in 2020-21, the liklihood they'll ever fix it is very low.

Jon Fritz · ‎Mar 12, 2025

CS3 can't be activated any longer, the activation servers have been gone for quite a while now. I believe the Bootstrap Accordion function would likely do what you need. That's what's now built into DW instead, but your entire page would need to be restructured using the Bootstrap Framework in order to get it going.

Jon Fritz · ‎Mar 12, 2025

Spry was removed from DW back in 2012. If you still have your activation info from your old software (CS5.5 or 6) you should still be able to activate and use it. Use legacy software for legacy sites that have no updates planned. In DW CC, there's no interface for working with Spry. You'd have to do it manually, in Code View. There are no plug-ins that I know of to add Spry back to DWCC. Not that it would be a very good idea, Spry wasn't mobile friendly, and the majority of the internet is viewed from mobile devices now. A final alternative would be to bite the bullet and update the site using current methods, knowing that at some point, those methods may not be current methods either.

Jon Fritz · ‎Mar 12, 2025

The font size in Code View is controlled under View > Code View Options > Increase/Decrease/Restore Font Size (Ctrl + +, Ctrl + -, and Ctrl + 0 for keyboard shortcuts)

Jon Fritz · ‎Mar 10, 2025

I can't recommend "learning Dreamweaver" at all. The program hasnt had any significant changes since 2020 when Adobe put it into a mimumum development status. The only things they've updated are a couple of the bolt on third party libraries. No new features and no bug fixes are planned going forward. DW is essentially on life support for the current userbase. Instead, spend your time learning how to code html, css and javascript. That way, when Adobe pulls the plug on DW, you'd be able to use really any web development program to create sites.

Jon Fritz · ‎Mar 07, 2025

Have you recently changed any site settings, like unchecking the Enable Cache box in your site's Advanced Settings, or moved your files to an external drive? If nothing has changed as far as the site's location, or the Enable Cache option, personally I'd try rebuilding the Site Definition. Sometimes a corruption of the defined site makes weird things happen, even though all the settings are the same. 1. Choose Site > Manage Sites click the site you're working on and click Export (folder with arrow icon) to create a backup .ste file. 2. Then, under Site > Manage Sites again, click the site you're working on and click Delete (- icon) to remove the site definition from DW 3. Now you can either create a new site definition from scratch, telling DW to use your existing root directory and re-entering your ftp info, or go to Site > Manage Sites > Import Site, then browse to the .ste backup and bring it back into DW
