Bridge Delaying Dreamweaver Browser Preview

I have noticed that when Adobe Bridge is open, Dreamweaver
CS3 has trouble previewing in my Firefox browser (have not tried
other browsers). When I preview, the hour glass appears for 20-30
seconds and then, finally the preview appears in the browser.
With Bridge closed the preview displays immediately without
delay.
I like to work with Photoshop, Bridge, and Dreamweaver open
at the same time so it is kind of a slow down to have to close
bridge when I do a lot of previews (and I do A LOT of previews).

Same problem in IE7 preview as well. Running Windows XP SP2
Other apps can be open (such as After Effects or Premiere
Pro) with no problem. I only get this with Bridge running.
Open Dreamweaver, Photoshop and Bridge. Then use the browser
preview globe button in Dreamweaver to preview to a browser. If you
don't get a long delay, then I have something else going on I
guess.

Firefox 3.6.11 will not work with Dreamweaver browser preview.

Upgraded to 3.6.11 today. Now the browser preview in Dreamweaver will not work with Firefox. I have to use browser preview nearly every day, so I need to go back to 3.6.10 - how can I do this?

Here's the fix. Dump Firefox 3.6.13 and Re-Install Firefox 3.5.16. Problem solved.

Bridge displays incorrect image previews! (Bridge 2.1.1.9)

Hello,
I am running Bridge CS3 2.1.1.9 on Windows XP SP2 fully patched. I intermittently see a problem where when browsing directories containing Nikon Raw files (NEF) from the D300, Bridge displays the wrong preview image for the file I select. For example, if I click on an image icon in one directory, the preview displayed is for a file in a different directory.
I've tried clearing the cache, etc, and nothing seems to change this.
Is this a known bug and/or is there a workaround I can use?
Thanks
-Bill
p.s. this is in addition to the fact that Bridge crashes every few minutes when I run it, so I find myself needing to restart it routinely during each working session.

Check out these 2 posts to see if they help.

Unable to set browser preview options

I posted this a few days ago and didn't get any responses, so
am trying again in case I'll have better luck today. :-)
I hope someone can help because this problem, which suddenly
occured, is makign it impossible for me to do any work in
Dreamweaver and that's driving me crazy... :-0
Thanks!
I feel a bit silly about this - but for some reason I am
unable to set the browser preview options in my preferences. I'm
using Dreamweaver 8 on a Mac OX10.3.9, and trying to designate
Firefox 1.5 as my default primary browser, and Safari 1.3.2 &
IE5 as secondary options. When I first open Dreamweaver I get a
message saying 'Unable to read Preview in Browser Preference.
Please remove all browsers form the list and add them again". So I
remove them all and when I try to add them back, none of my choices
show up in the box. Then I restart and the old ones are still
there. If I try to change the check in the box that indicates
primary or secondary browsers, my program crashes. Anyone have a
clue what's going on? Thanks so much for any help...

This - file:///ether/Patricia Yenawine/images/oxblood_med.jpg
- tells me
that your local root folder is on a network shared drive. I
am guessing
that your problem stems from the fact that network
permissions/protocols are
interfering with your ability to successfully write your
cache files and
your browser preferences.
Do you have the same problem with sites that are truly local
to your
computer?

Font in Design View different from font in Live View and browser preview

My external style sheet has the body set for a sans-serif font and there is nothing to contradict it in the HTML documents. But while I get sans-serif in the Design View (as you would expect), I get a serif font in Live View and Browser Preview, not to mention on the Web itself.
How is this possible (and what should I do about it)?
--Paul

Murray and David: it worked! It is a rare and joyous experience to have a straightforward solution to the sorts of problems I come up with (including other realms). But I have to say that with HTML and CSS (and hence with Dreamweaver), solutions to difficulties have seemed within easier reach than in other parts of the computer world.
By the way, I wanted to choose "correct answer" for both your posts, but after making the first click it was no longer available for the remaining post--so I typed "helpful" even though that one was correct too.
Thanks again.

Found the reason why my Dreamweaver's "Preview in Firefox" wasn't working

In some of the Dreamweaver forums, there were some users whose "Preview in [Browser]" suddenly wasn't working. I had that same issue, but I did some experimenting, and I found out why—at least in my case—why a particular html file, when opened in my Mac's Dreamweaver CS6, Version 12.0, wouldn't preview in my Firefox browser. I noticed that the filename contained a question mark. When I deleted that question mark from the filename and then opened that html file back into Dreamweaver, the "Preview in Firefox" worked fine. For a test, I closed the file, typed a question mark back into the filename, opened the file into Dreamweaver, and then that "Preview in Firefox," once again, didn't work. There may be additional characters in filenames—other than the question mark—that could cause problems with Dreamweaver's preview feature.

Ken, why do you say no numbers at the beginning of file names? That's true of variable names but not file names.
Thanks Rob -
I'm 80 years old, so I've probably got some ancient "best" practices in mind.
While this isn't absolutely required, some programming languages give numbers special notice, and so a file starting with a number might not be treated as a file.

Solution to using Site Root with Sub-folders on Testing Server & Browser Previews

Hi Everyone
Have found an elegant solution when using Site Root relative linking for a website, that allows browser previews, even when the testing server uses sub-folders and the live code references just the server site root " / " of the live server and not the sub-folder structure of the testing server. This is really useful when you don't want to use document relative linking, which normally takes care of this problem in Dreamweaver.
The solution is to use sub-domains referencing the sub-folders on the testing server, so the sub-folders appear as the root of each website and the html code pointing to the site root works correctly on both testing & live servers without alteration.
Testing Server Setup
One testing server domain is used for all client development work:
For example: www.testingserver.com
On the testing server there are multiple sub-folder (one for each client website being developed):
For example: www.testingserver.com/clientA/ , www.testingserver.com/clientB/ , www.testingserver.com/clientC/
Live Server Setup
The site code needs to be developed with the final live server folder structure (url references) in mind:
For example: www.livesite.com (with all pages referencing the root of the live site server)
Page URLs on Testing & Live Servers
/page-name.html
Testing server url: www.testingserver.com/clientA/page-name.html
Live server url: www.livesite.com/page-name.html (without /clientA/ sub-folder)
Browser Previews Don't Work
You want to be able to run browser previews on the testing server while developing the website. To do this you normally have to reference the sub-folder structure of the testing server in the url for things to work right:
For example www.testingserver.com/clientA/page-name.html
What do you do, when you can't keep switching all the urls in the code from pointing to the sub-folder to pointing to the site root, and you don't want to use document relative linking?
One Solution - Sub-domains on Testing Server
In your domain hosting (outside of Dreamweaver) setup a sub-domain to point to the testing server sub-folder.
For example: Sub-domain clientA.testingserver.com points to www.testingserver.com/clientA (sub-folder)
So now when you reference the sub-domain it sees the sub-folder as the site root and all your problems are solved.
Dreamweaver Site Definition Setup
Site Definition under "Local Info"
Links relative to: Site Root
Site Definition under "Remote Info" (live server)
Access: FTP
FTP host: ftp.livesite.com
Host directory: /
Site Definition under "Testing Server"
Access: FTP
FTP host: clientA.testingserver.com
Host directory: /
URL prefix: http://clientA.testingserver.com
(location of the site's root folder on the testing server, the sub-domain redirection takes care of pointing to the sub-folder)
This is just one solution but it works well for me as it doesn't have any cost associated with it under our hosting package where you can have multiple sub-domains setup.
Hope this helps someone in a similar situation.
Aly

Just Google it, or run out and buy a copy of David Powers' Foundations Dreamweaver CS4 with CSS, Ajax and PHP, a book that is never out of reach for me. He details the process explicitly for both Mac and PC.
For me, on W7, I edit the C:/Windows/System32/drivers/etc/hosts file, and add the ip of my testing server along with the site alias -
192.168.1.82 site.local
Then I add this same designation to my httpd.conf file in Apache on the testing server. Finally I restart Apache.
Now from my production machine if I browse to "http://site.local", I get to see either the default file in the root of the site on the testing server, or a directory of the site on the testing server (my testing server is a unix box running on my LAN at that ip address). Furthermore, all of my root relative links now work as they would if the pages were being browsed from the live server.

Setting Browser Preview Preferences

I feel a bit silly about this - but for some reason I am
unable to set the browser preview options in my preferences. I'm
using Dreamweaver 8 on a Mac OX10.3.9, and trying to designate
Firefox 1.5 as my default primary browser, and Safari 1.3.2 &
IE5 as secondary options. When I first open Dreamweaver I get a
message saying 'Unable to read Preview in Browser Preference.
Please remove all browsers form the list and add them again". So I
remove them all and when I try to add them back, none of my choices
show up in the box. Then I restart and the old ones are still
there. If I try to change the check in the box that indicates
primary or secondary browsers, my program crashes. Anyone have a
clue what's going on? Thanks so much for any help...

Same thing just happened to me, DW 2004 mx on Mac ox 10.4.10.
"When I first open Dreamweaver I get a message saying 'Unable

restart and the old ones are still there. If I try to change the
check in the box that indicates primary or secondary browsers, my
program crashes."
Any suggestions? Trash preferences? Reload? I also tried a
restart with an unplug for good measure, no dice. Thanks!

No option to place from Bridge to Dreamweaver.

I purchased Dreamweaver as a stand-alone download (legal & registered to my Adobe account), and I know that the stand-alone DW doesn't come with Bridge. Because I own PS, ID & AI, I already have Bridge installed.
Since this is my first excursion into web design, I also purchased the Classroom In A Book title for DW. In the lesson on images, they want you to place a file from Bridge into Dreamweaver, but the "Place..." option in Bridge only lists the other three Adobe products. Is there a way to tell Bridge to place into DW, since DW allows me to browse in Bridge?

Browser preview stopped showing design update

I am new to Dreamweaver, and whenever I make changes to the
page, I will preview the changes using browser preview. After
making several previews back and forth, my browser suddenly stopped
displaying the latest design updates. I have done every suggestion
mentioned about resetting, & clearing caches in my browser, but
i don't see the latest design update I did. In dreamweaver design
view, I can see the image I added, but when viewed in the browser,
what I see is the design prior to the addition of the new image.
What else can I do to correct this? When I use a different browser,
I see the new design.

Which browser isn't working?
Also make sure that you are looking at localhost and not
remote site. I do
this sometimes and get the same result.

Css not displaying in browser preview

I have created 6 pages for a website in Dreamweaver, and as I worked I continuously previewed all my pages in Google Chrome. Then near the end of my work, the css formatting stopped previewing in the browser. The html shows up correctly, but the css does not show up at all for any page. They all show up perfectly in Live view, but not in the browser preview. I have checked the links for the css files, and I have tried multiple browsers. Any suggestions??
Thanks so much!

Are you working within a defined local site folder? This is necessary for DW to manage your links and assets. Go to Site > New Site or Manage Sites. See screenshot.
Are your links to external style sheets correctly pointing to files in your site folder or incorrectly pointing to files:/// on your local hard drive? See link below for details on how to link HTML pages to external style sheets.
Dreamweaver, Linking HTML to External Style Sheets
Finally, run your code through the W3C validation tools and fix reported errors.

Browser preview menu bar navigation problems

Hey everyone I have a very strange problem that I honestly have no idea at all how to handle.
Below is a template I've put together. It's for a pump repair business site (to provide clarity on any content).
Everything was going smoothly, until I previewed it in the browser (using Firefox and Chrome). I can jump from page to page about twice, but, after that, especially when I try to return to the home page, I recieve an error like this:
' No webpage was found for the web address:file:///C:/Users/John/Desktop/Design/Merit%20Pump%20Website/MeritPump_Template.dwt '
And I am also not able to access my submenus in the browser preview, and inevitably NOTHING will work after the first few jumps between pages.
My code is below. Thank you so much for any help- this is my last major roadblock before I am able to publish.

Hi!
1. file:///C: /Users/John/Desktop/Design/Merit%20Pump%20Website/MeritPump_ Template.dwt '
1.1 Suspicious are always these strings starting with file:///, what means, "DW thinks that every file you have linked to is outside the local root folder":
1.2. Don't use spaces in folders/filenames. Spaces get converted %20, you could use underscores eg.
2. ../MP-Kobepumps.html
Where is this file located? Please control your path in DW, maybe you need ../../, maybe you can do without it, depending on which level the file is situated/nested.
... maybe you can post a link to your page, no matter how it looks like.Hans-G.

Bridge CS6 not creating preview extractions for .mp4, .mov .wmv or .avi

In all versions up to now when I would cache my folders with video files they would create preview extractions so that I could scroll through the video in the Preview Pane.
The only files that are doing this now are the .flv files (which ironically do not create a thumnail image, and never have in Bridge, but that's another topic altogether.)
I looked through all the preferences and I don't see a way to turn preview extractions on or off.
How do I "force" Bridge to create the previews and why did it not do it automatically like all previous versions have?
Thank you!
I have a brand 2 month old top of the line iMac with all the latest software and plenty of free space. This is definitely an issue w Bridge, not my computer.

I was having an issue very similar to this. I tested it on CC, CS6 and both did the same thing. No previews and if i tried to purge the cache, it would stop responding all together. Then I noticed I had an eps file with no file extention. I went ahead and removed it from the folder and now everything works like it should. If the above option of purging does not work, try to remove the files and see if one of them is an issue.

Bridge doesn´t show preview of tif-images

Hi,
I uses Bridge CS6 on a Mac with MacOS 10.9.2. Suddenly bridge doesn´t show previews of Tif-images. It´s also impossible to fill in any metadata. The program also says that the image isn´t tagged with any color profile. I don´t have these problems with jpegs, only with Tif-images. I even get previews on the RAW-images. Does anyone know what the problem can be?

I guess I have to try to reinstall the program.......
I'm 99,99 % sure that won't help solving your problem because to possible being effective you also should use the Adobe Clean tool to get rid of a lot of the hidden files that just stay put during a normal reinstall. But if you want to do something easier instead of reinstall, quit Bridge and go to the user library (by default hidden per OSX 7, use Finder, menu Go with option to reveal this library)
In the preferences folder is plist file for Bridge (com.adobe.bridge5.plist), drag this file to the trash. Then in same library go to the folder Caches / Adobe/ Bridge CS5 and inhere delete both plug in and folder called Cache. (this means recaching the previews and thumbs).
Then restart Bridge holding down option key and again choose 'reset prefs'. All previous deleted items will be replaced with new, fresh and empty ones and you have an almost like factory settings Bridge without the need of reinstall.
But I really suspect it comes down to the Tiff files so maybe also a reset of preferences in PS might be worth a try.
