--> 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.

thanks

i have a love hate with html

and i'm a real novice

and i am a hungry idiot
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!!!!

i have a love love with HTML *wanks cock* -- so if i can help (on a not too mega urgent basis), let me know

good luck.

WOOP ! Sam.

not sure i want help from someone with a html fetish - it could get messy ;)

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

is that a soft return?

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.
