Dreamweaver 2017 is shutting down while I am working on my index page.

[ken32210]

Dreamweaver 2017 is shutting down while I am working on my index page. It shuts down if I switch from design view to any code view. It also shuts down when I am working in properties and I click apply or ok. It seems to only happen in my index.html page. DW will not let me put the page on my remote page but it will get the files off of my remote page and put them on my local page. DW wizards say it is probably a code issue on my index page. I am not real savy on code but I do not see anything out of place. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

We need some more inputs from you to resolve this issue that you are facing-

1. On what OS and version are you facing the issue?

2. can you share the site/page that you are working on?

3. Also, a video clip demonstrating the issue would be really helpful.

Hi,

You can also share crash logs with us if DW is crashing while working on that file.

Use the code validator to check the code as per The W3C Markup Validation Service

Dreamweaver code Linting will show you if you have errors and where they are.  See screenshot below.  In this example, I have 2 un-closed <div> tags in my code on lines 8 & 9.   The Output panel describes them.

It goes without saying that being able to identify and fix your code errors is a required skill for using Dreamweaver.   Even more so now than in previous versions.
