Help with Dreamweaver

    :confused: When I try to copy a script into dreamweaver, why does it gets spread across when I view it in display mode. When I view it in the browser it seems normal. The problem is I don't know much of css and work on dreamweaver using the display mode, now when the entire thing gets spread in display mode, I don't know where to start writing the content.

    Thanks in advance.

    try clicking on split view and then placing your curser in the text where you want to insert what you need.

    is the script a piece of programming or text to be displayed?

    by display mode.. do you mean design or code ? :confused:

    Which version of DW are you using. I think you are using MX or some older version, and the problem you are talking about is no longer in DW 8.

    hi,

    I am using DW 8. Its in the design mode. When I copy the code and view it in design mode it spreads across the screen even when I paste it inside a Table.

    Thanks

    You must PASTE the SCRIPT/CODE in the Code Tab (right under the file name, in the upper left side). There are 3 tabs: Code | Split | Design. Make sure you are on CODE TAB right where you want the script to be and paste it. Make sure the script is on <script> and </script> separators!
    Let me know if you done it...

    Cheers.
