Invisable Elements

Hi,

I am new to DW 8 and still happy, BUT a little bite frustrated concerning the
"Invisable Elements" in Design mode.

By default the javascript (a slide show) I am using, is shown as a small
yellow icon in Design mode. I would rather have the script running (so I can
see it as in a web browser)) or at least an outline showing the 150 x 200
pixels that the script/images in this case generates.

Is their a way of making this happens or have I missed something?

Have a nice evening / biggles-1

Nope. Sorry....

Thank?s for your quick response!

So, it is just to accept then, hm ..... ! Pitty since I found it useful instead of using the web-browser.

Hi Mick,

Sorry, did not see your reply!

The URL is http://www.house-of-senses.com/ (it is a simple page, BUT it works
nicely with the web-shop)

Any solution to my original question?

Yes, you have a problem because you are using "document.write" to create
the whole slide show. My suggestion is to insert an appropriately sized
transparent.gif in the slide space:
<img
style="display:block"
src="transparent.gif"
width="200"
height="150"
border="1"
name="marker"

Then hide it onload:
<script type="text/javascript">
onload=function(){document.images["marker"].style.display="none";}
</script>

Dear MIck,

Thanks for the "solution" AND I think it is a little bite of an overkill to
insert an javascript and a transparant gif, just to be able to see the outline
in Design mode, BUT you are right it works *s*!

However I am surprised that DW do not have this function since I find it of a
basic nature. I have used more simpler programs before and they all do have
this function.

Well .... I will survive *s*.

Best regards Nils

Like? They execute js on the fly to display the results of document.write
commands?

Dear Murray,

I have mostly used AceHTML 5 and been very happy with it. When looking in
AceHTML Viewer (internal browser) I can see the result directly including
running javascript. It is very easy to change between the editor and the
viewer, i e to see the effect on each change I make in the code.

I was going to upgrade to their new AceHTML 6 but unfortuately have had
problems with the new version, so I "upgraded" to DW 8. I am happy so far BUT
are missing some small details/fubctions like not seeing the script.

Nils
