just upgraded to cs3
and i'm working on the audiobulb site
and all is good except one thing and its driving me round the bend!
I'm working in the design view window
Writing text
and everytime I add a paragraph by pressing ENTER the text above squashes up - so previous paragraph breaks disappear....
I prefer looking at text in the design view - I tried diff preference setting to no avail and have looked it up in the adobe help.... nothing
anyone? 
thanks

Are you sure it's actually changing the code and removing the line breaks? Sometimes in a WYSIWYG editor it fails to render your changes properly. I find in heavy css/xhtml sites I can rarely see the design as it should be from within dreamweaver.
Have you tried previewing it after the line break disappears? Is it really being automatically being removed from the code on enter? If so, strange.
You may just have to switch to the code view.

thanks goorf
no - it looks FINE in preview mode - in the browser
its just the fact that it looks shit and bunched up in design mode - so I have to keep checking it in IE preview to see that it looks OK

what gorf said.
check in the code view that its properly encapsulating the paragraphs in the <p> </p> tags and not just putting a <br /> after. that can usually screw stuff up.

I always keep a browser open to check that the render looks fine - remember that the design view isnt a properly rendered view. it may well be but dont treat it like one.

No worries.
Note: If you hold shift when pressing enter you should give yourself a <br /> instead of a new paragraph.

but i still don't know why it pushes the text up in the design view - the old dreamweaver MX never did that
it does my nut in when software does unexplained non-useful things!!!!

OH MAN.. DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED ON CS3.
Never use the design view in that program. It sucks and has always sucked since the dawn of time.

if you were on an apple there would be a return key instead and you wouldn't have this problem

This kind of glicthc reminds me of my work with dreamweaver4 when i first sarted making sites. In fact if DW's design view didn't regularly mess things up, i don't think i would have ever learned html properly. I hope you can get it fixed. I can look at source code if you need help.
