CSS Property no longer comes up

[Garth Barfarckle]

Lately I have been working more with CSS sites  When doing so, thie veryh nice CSS property screen would come up and make the job easier.  Lately it no longer comes up and I cannot find anwher to access it.  I am nearly dead in the water without it.    Any ideas

Which version of DW?  Which operating system?

Is your stylesheet attached to your document?  Or are you working with embedded CSS code?

IMO,  editing styles by opening the CSS file is vastly superior to clumsy Design Panels.  With code hints and auto code completion you get your work done much faster and more accurately. 

If Panels won't open, are you working with error-free code?  Use the validation services below to check and fix all reported errors.

Adobe removed the old CSS Properties Window, in favor of the clunky CSS Designer, a handful of versions back.

If you recently updated to the latest version, from anything CC 2015 or earlier, you can open it by going to Window > CSS Designer or Shift + F11.
