Hi folks.I keep getting Expected LBRACE after I use @media in my CSS.Has anyone come across this?My CSS: @media screen and (max-width: 400px).box3 {float: left;text-align: center;height: 300px;width: 25%;margin-left: 30px;margin-top: 20px;background-color: #FFFFFF;display: inline-block;box-shadow: 0px 5px 8px 2px #464a4a;table-layout: fixed;border-top: solid 50px;border-top-color: #494949;}.box4 {text-align: center;height: 300px;width: 25%;margin-left: 30px;margin-right: 30px;margin-top: 20px;background-color: #DFFFFFF;display: inline-block;box-shadow: 0px 5px 8px 2px #464a4a;border-top: solid 50px;border-top-color: #494949;}.box5 {float: right;text-align: center;height: 300px;width: 25%;margin-right: 30px;margin-top: 20px;background-color: #FFFFFF;display: inline-block;box-shadow: 0px 5px 8px 2px #464a4a;border-top: solid 50px;border-top-color: #494949;}

I have a Mac Pro and fully up-to-date Dreamweaver with a Majic Mouse 1. My mouse works just fine at all times on all applications until Dreamweaver is running.  As soon as Dreamweaver is running and I am focussed on the Dreamweaver application, it almost grinds to a a complete halt.  It freezes, stops moving, jumps randomly and is generaly almost wholly unusable. I've tried a different non-Apple mouse and get the same result.

... but then a friend moved my system from my old laptop (which was having hardware glitches) to a slightly newer one - and now my Dreamweaver wants me to update.  I'm ready to bite the bullet & spend my nonexixtant $$$ (cursing Adobe), but the Adobe sales page says I'm not compatable... does this mean I need to update to a new OS just so I can use programs I've depended on for years?!

Hi everyone, I’m trying to create a custom code theme (version CC2019), but not having any luck. Per the instructions found on this page ( https://helpx.adobe.com/dreamweaver/using/customize-code-coloring.html#Token-inspector ), I created a new code theme based on an existing theme and renamed it. custom-light.InstructionsNow that you know the selectors that you need to edit, make the changes to the main.less file.Go to the end of the file until you see the following comment:/* Custom code colors or overrides should start after this line */ Type in the selectors for the code elements whose colors you want to edit. Use syntax similar to the following example:.cm-tag {color: #00D0D0; } I’ve done just this, but the colors will not change. I’ve included a pic. with the hope that helps. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Mark

Hi,I want to create a hyperlink of a selected text which has several styles – e.g. here italic and bold-italic. But DW (CC) does not overtake the selected text to the dialog box:   ... as it does if it would have only one or no style: Do you call it a bug? 😉 resp. 😞 Thanks!mycc

lately I was wondering what folks around this forum would think about starting debates about the web in general, and the place of the Creative Cloud in this environment. I'm not necessarily thinking about technical debates about languages, libraries, technologies... but rather about the approach to development in general. About the way to work, like for example... starting from a blank page, relying on a template (and what template), what are the good practices to work in team with Dreamweaver, the efficiency of exchanging code snippets thanks to the cloud, the pluses or minuses to complete one's toolbox and in what Dreamweaver could be a central place, ...   anyway, the bottle is thrown in the sea

Hi,Is there any straight forward way to change the language in an already working Dw installation?Such that all tools change from English to French in no time? And then back another day?Ingemar 

Hi,I get a lot of these errors on W3 validation:The aria-controls attribute must point to an element in the same document. It relates to my tabbed panels - some missing connection between the tabs and the panels, but i am not sure what needs to be corrected? It is the same error on all pages/ tabbed panels. <li class="nav-item"> <a class="nav-link" href="#pane6" role="tab" id="hatstab6" data-toggle="tab" aria-controls="hats">Intro to Philosophy</a></li> The corresponding panel content is <div role="tabpanel" class="tab-pane fade" id="pane6" aria-labelledby="hatstab6"> <br> <p class="panelcontent"><h6 class="panelh6">Intro to Philosophy</h6></p><br/>  

I can't believe how bad Dreamweaver has become does anyone else agree ? 

CSS Exlusively ExternalAfter a great input from Osgood in this group the Media Query response is now perfect. Next thing is to safeguard an exclusive use of an external CSS file for styling to avoid messing up of the current code. This seems difficult to achieve as the system easily reverts to <style> in the source code even though a new css file has been dedicated to the root. Probably easy if you know how?

How can i put a navigation bar? And what it is? 

HiI would like to place a puffin, either standing with his foot on top of the hr line dividing the footer underneath,or standing at the very bottom of the page, in the footer section, with some margin space on the left.It is hovering in the air on top of the line at the moment https://www.quodvultdeus.com/ Any ideas?

[Moderator branched & moved to new topic.]   Hi Nancy I have the same problem, but the boostrap files are version 4? When I try and add a navbar menu, it gives me the same message as for the person above, that: "The component is not fully compatible with the current Bootstrap CSS/ JS file (lower than 4.4.1). A new Bootstrap CSS/JS file will be created and linked from the document." When it creates this new file, the contact form stops working fully - it still sends the message but the validation of email sent (Thank you for your message!) opens up as plain text in a blank html page rather than as a pop-up on the original contact form page. The same thing happens if I try and update the script files (jquery.min.js, validator.min.js, bootstrap.min js, popper min js) linking to them from the cdnjs libraries. I can't find a way of including a navbar menu and keeping the contact form working? Below are the references to the script files in the html contact page.   head>

  

Hi,I have a jumbotron which is too big (height) on a mobile display - how might I set a class to reduce the size of it? It also has white space above the image, which I wondered how to get rid of, so that the image abuts onto the navbar? https://www.quodvultdeus.com I am also a bit confused why when I click to select the jumbotron on my template, dw lists two 'jumbotron' items (one with background of blue), and one of 'jumbotron-fluid'.Thanks in advance!

Recently my Dreamweaver latest version hangs on exit on Big Sur 11.3. In all other ways it seems to work normally but closing the program I get the ball and the only solution is to force quit. I'm not sure exactly when this started. I have removed and reinstalled but no change. Any thoughts where I might look. 

How can I disable contextual feature tips in Dreamweaver? I hate it when I am working and the freaking popups interupt.

Media Query tablet size not stackingDW2017 fails to stack vertically in one column when in tablet size 700px-1080px. SmartPhone 300-700 works fine and Desktop above 1080 as well (2 cols, no need for stacking). I have tried different float, display, width. Why not in tablet? Ingemar

Hi, I am trying to connect my dreamweaver to my ftp server and am unable to do so. I receive the following error:I have every firewall turned off, and all the informtion is correct- verified by successfully connecting to it from filezilla. Moreover, I downloaded the free trial of CC Dreamweaver, (now expired), and was able to connect no problem. I went so far as to export the settings from CC dreamweaver, which worked, and imported them into CS6 dreamweaver, where they again did not work.  Any help would be appreciated; thank you

Hello: I recently discovered a chronic problem using DW 2021 v. 21.1 (on a Mac using Big Sur v. 11.3). When I finish using the Find and Replace in Files feature, it's impossible to close that window.I shut down and relaunched DW. When I opened that Find and Replace in Files window, the Close icon is greyed out and non-functional. I must drag it off the screen or restart DW to get it to disappear. here's a screenshot documenting the greyed out or empty Close button. How should I pursue correcting this recurring problem? Warren  

Hii everybody, does anybody know why my website layout displays wrongly in Chrome but correctly on Firefox? It’s a pretty simple layout. The Chrome display narrows the columns at the sides and widens the cells in the middle so there are spaces between the pictures. This does NOT happen in Firefox or Safari. The layout is basically 8 columns equalling 980px width in total. 65,25,200,200,200,200,25,65. As you can see (website link below) Chrome narrows the 65px columns at the edges and widens the 200px columns in the middle for reasons I can’t work out. http://www.maximum-robot.co.uk/ Thanks for any help.Gareth
