Design View Issue

[mark0x]

Hi guys,

Got a weird problem on one of our sites in Actinic. When I switch to design view on the site in Actinic, I can no longer click elements in the window and have the related element highlighted in the design tree

Any ideas how to fix this and return to normal design view behaviour?

I've tried Window -> Restore Design View Layout but the problem remains

Have you searched the forum for the problem because it (and its solution) has definitely come up before?

Perhaps you can offer me some search terms to find the relevant threads as my previous searches have been fruitless

Thanks

Nevermind, finally found it

Solution

It's a good call to always add IsPreviewMode around external elements.

Yeah.. it's just one of those things - I rushed the Facebook/Twitter stuff via remote desktop & didn't fully test it, it seemed to be working fine until I come to use Design View a couple of weeks later

Lesson = learnt

Glad you found it. Couldn't remember solution, off the top of my head, and wasn't on a device that i could search/copy/paste easily on, to check.
