Dreamweaver becomes unresponsive and i can write or edit code!
I'm not using Live view!
I cant even select any code, a total waste of time & money.

 

I'm using a mac book pro

      I copied and pasted your HTML into a new document in MyTestSite folder.  Despite all the deprecated code warnings,  DW 2019 is responding as expected.  I am able to edit in Code / Split / Live and Design view.   Maybe the code I can't see in your external stylesheet is causing problems.   Check your CSS with the online service below.

        Made me smile how some users have no problem with Dreamweaver while some do. My smile became a burst of laughter when a non Dreamweaver user made a comment.

         

        It's like this article I read recently stating: When the carbon dioxide concentration goes up, temperature goes up. They also show a graph as proof

        Strange that I interpret the graph as" when the temperature changes, the carbon dioxide concentration changes. Mmmm.

         

        What I am trying to say is that maybe there are other factors influencing the performance of Dreamweaver that are causing the problems. We should not jump to the conclusing that carbon dioxide Dreamweaver is the cause.

        Wappler is the DMXzone-made Dreamweaver replacement and includes the best of their powerful extensions, as well as much more!

          Made me smile,  a lot have been saying that for  a few years now - 'Dreamweaver becomes unresponsive'.

          Did you define a local site folder in DW?

          Is the site folder on your primary hard drive and not a networked or cloud drive?

          Does this lag occur in all files in all sites or just certain ones?

          Can you show us the code you're having trouble working with?

           If you haven't already, you must define a local site folder from Site > Manage Sites. You can use that folder for all your projects if you wish. 

           

          The code is outdated even for HTML e-mail.   Run it through validation and fix reported errors.
