Dreamweaver 8 display of CF code issue

Report · Mar 30, 2007

I'm running Windows XP, with svs pck 2 on my local machine.

Dreamweaver 8 has been acting fine, except for the problem with it not updating the time stamp on the server. Even with 8.02 is still does it occasionally, but I launched the program this morning, having made no changes to preferences etc, and when I opened a page that has CF in it, it's showing all the code, not just the curly brackets with field names. It's showing all the code.

I am in the twilight zone about this one. I even found the Edit /Preference/show invisible elements as: {} and it's still showing the full code.

Can anyone help with this? Has it ever happened to you? All else is functioning properly. My Web pages look fine. And other folks in my development team are NOT having this issue, even though they are running the same program version. It seems that it has to be a local setting. And I am in a quandry as to what that might be.

Thanks, WCW

Never happened to me - sorry.

One thing to check is Edit > Preferences > File Types / Editors and make sure .cfm is not in the Open in code view box

Ken: Thanks for responding. Having files opening in code view was not the problem, but it was good to review that area of Preferences.

I do believe I am in the twilight zone, though. This morning, I opened Dreamweaver, and code is displaying in Design view as it is designed to do. Curly brackets are showing up just fine. I have no idea what caused the problem, but it is obviously intermittent.

Very odd, but it seems to have resolved itself, with no changes on my part. It's the first time I've seen anything like that happen, as well. \

Thanks again for answering me. WCW
