Dreamweaver CC 2017

I have Dreamweaver CC 2017 version. I launched it today and discovered my code box is at the bottom, the "results" from that code is in the middle above the code box.

How do I get the code on the left, the split screen view on the right?

Thanks

Rich

    So you're saying that you can't make it look like it use to look?


    Correct.

    You can click the 3 horizontal bar icon in the vertical toolbar on the far left of your screenshot to turn off the gray area that says "Click the + icon to add...", that will at least give you more screen real estate back, but the ruler is currently a permanent fixture of the Live View area.

    The other thing you might want to try is "Real-Time Preview."  this allows you to view your work in the vbrowser of your choice and any changes you make in the code is instantly reflected in the browser.  This is more reliable than using the DW's Live view or Design View.

    Microsoft had this feature way back in 2013 when their Visual Studio was first released.  In Visual Studio, one could make changes in the browser and these changes take effect in the live code and vice versa.  In DW this is still not implemented completely.

    See this picture to get an idea what I mean by using the Browser to view your work in Live view:

    Ok, I did the view-->Split-->Split Vertically and the view is what I wanted but there is a ruler on the right side that I can't find how to turn off. Plus the entire layout looks funny. Maybe if I figure out how to make it look like it use to I'll be happy but now I am not.

    You can't turn the ruler off in Live View (it's part of the visual media query tool).

    If you want it gone, you need to switch to Design View.

    Go to: View and then look for something like this:

    Make sure Live View is unchecked to make it exactly like what you are asking about.  It is all shown in my picture above.

    Good luck.
