Question

Dreamweaver is Not Compatible with Coldfusion

I've posted about this before, but now this problem is getting worse. I can't understand why dreamweaver's design view does not work with coldfusion. Does cfeclipse work better for a wysiwyg interface? This small page displays blank in Dreamweaver 8. I might as well be using Notepad to make my web pages. Most of my coldfusion pages will not display in design view. What does it take to display cfml in dreamweaver. Does anybody else use dreamweaver with coldfusion?

    I use dreamweaver, but only in code view, and with no panels and just toolbar (insert) showing (aka the big white screen).

    When I want to see results I use a browser.

    I like the tool tips for functions, and the autocomplete for tags. The colour coded text is also very useful. Among other things it lets you know if you spelled your function name correctly.

    That's what I've been using Dreamweaver for. My pages sometimes start out in design view, but very quickly after adding cfml I get the blank screen. I thought it might be a PICNIC problem, which is why I've been posting, but your experience shows that you have the same problem too. I can live with it, I have so far, and as you've mentioned, I like the other features of dreamweaver, however much I miss the WYSIWYG feature. I can always use the browser, as you do.

    Thanks,

    No it doesn't.
