Custom Tag Page Wrapper Not Visible in Design View

Report · Oct 23, 2009

Hi Everyone,

I have a CF Custom Tag that is used as a page wrapper for a site that we are building. We have some users that will be editing content in Dreamweaver and Contribute, however when they look at the page in Design View none of the defined styles and layout is present. The content is there, but not the 'look' we have created.

Is there a way in Dreamweaver (or Contribute) to allow for the custom tag content to be viewable in Desgin View?

Thanks in advance.

Styles within CF includes will show however as far as I am aware this is not be the case with custom tags. The reason for this is Dreamwaver will have to run the tag and I am not sure this is possible in design view. Have you tried CF Builder (currently in Beta 2)

PS how are you referencing the CSS styles? Don’t forget in design view it DW and Contribute will not run any dynamic variables i.e. #stylePath#/this.css you have to use absolute paths. This is sometimes a common issue in deisgn view.
