Dreamweaver CC 2017 - What is *data_liveedit_tagid?

[Guest]

I just updated DW to CC2017, and when I preview html documents in Chrome/Mac and look at inspector - I see this attribute added to each tag: data_liveedit_tagid

What is that? How do I remove it?

It's not actually in your code, DW adds it to allow the live preview to function.

To see your actual code in the browser you can either right click the named document tab or the file name in the Files window and choose Open In Browser then select the browser you want to preview in. This will open your page as it sits, without DW adding anything for Live Preview.

You can go back to CC2015 (I would highliy suggest this until they get some of the critical bugs fixed) by following the instructions here: How to Find and Install Previous Version of Adobe Apps in CC 2015 | Adobe Customer Care Team

Yes, I know it's not effecting my actual code - it's just in the Inspector.

Also, weirdly, the url when I preview my docs starts with an IP: http://100.0.0.0:58806/preview/app/index.html.

My workaround for now will be to just open the file from within the browser to preview it - or type in the file path directly: file:///Volumes/Macintosh%20HD/Users/...  . (It was more convenient to preview right from DW.)

Anyway, if anybody resolved it, let me know.

Also, wondering - did anybody else who updated to CC17 get this?

Yes, I have exact same issue generated by each php tag. It makes my preview looks really bad!!!

Please see the answer that Jon has given.

The only way to get the real code is by right-clicking the file name tab and choosing to open in a browser.

There is no way to turn off the code injection of the Live Preview function, it would not work as described in the documentation if that were possible.

You have two methods of accessing the old Preview in Browser (now called Open in Browser), one is as Ben shows, when your documents are set as tabs in your workspace. The other, when you have floating documents, is to right click the file in the Files window and choose the same menu option "Open in Browser", see below...

If you feel that is not the way things should be done, be sure to let the dev team know by submitting a feature request from within DW under Help > Submit Bug Report/Feature Request. If enough people are asking for the same, there's a good chance Adobe will add the old functionality back as the default, or give us an option to add the keyboard shortcut to the current Open in Browser function.
