Can't Preview Template in Browser

Everytime I try to preview my template in browser (F12), a
dialog pops up asking if I want to open or save this file, which I
have already done...then nothing happens. Is there something I am
missing in order to preview my template in browser? Thanx.

enable previewing with temp files.
that will create a temp .html file the browser will
understand, instead of
the .dwt file
dw preferences-->preview in browser. there is a checkbox.
this may be a "by site" choice in dw8, and be in the site def
information,
i'm not sure.

Previewing Templates in Browser

I'm new to Dreamweaver, working through a book by Heathcote.
I can preview normal pages in the IE4 browser no problem but not
templates although the book tells me this is possible. I'm using
Dreamweaver MX2004.

What? You don't need to do any such thing! 8) If you can find
the
reference in Missing Manual, I'd love to see it....

Preview template in browser Doesn't work

Hi I’m trying to preview a template I have made with DW
in IE but it won’t work. When I do this a dialog window pops
up and asks me if I want to open or save it, if I shoes open, it
opens in frontpage. It says that it is a Frontpage template, I have
tried to open it with ie and DW but it only goes back to being
frontpage document even though I have set it to always open with
ie. What am I doing wrong?

Try enabling Preview with Temp files, in your preferences.
What's wrong is that without this enabled, the browser is
passed the *.dwt
file and it has no idea what to do with it. With temp files
enabled, DW
builds a temporary *.htm file first, and that's what the
browser is asked to
render.

I can't preview my site in any browser

I have a Windows computer and I can't preview my site in IE or Firefox. IE tells me "cannot display the webpage".....Firefox tells me "can't establish a connection to localhost." I've been trying to fix it for a couple hours now, I would appreciate any help/tips/suggestions that anyone can give me. Thanks.

The "can't establish a connection to localhost" message most likely means your Dreamweaver site definition has a testing server set up. Make sure your testing server is is up and running and that should mean your browser previews will work (assuming I've diagnosed your issue correctly).

Can't Preview In Browser

Hey guys, I'm hoping I can get some help with this problem that's happening. For some reason, Dreamweaver isn't recognizing the correct location of my files. I have a MacBook Pro running the latest version of OS X, and I also have two hard drives installed, which is where this problem is happening. I store all of my music, documents, etc. on a hard drive and everything else on an SSD. When I try to preview in the browser, it says the web page can not be found in all browsers.
I can't seem to find a solution for his in the preferences. I even have tried to use a temporary file.
Thanks

Going through the Mac finder to an external drive will not load http://volumes. It opens file:///volumes which is a different protocol. When you setup a test site in DW it uses the http protocol. You may be able to get away with setting up a server like MAMP and pointing it at the external drive directly and using the http:// address from the web server. Otherwise you need to setup the external drive as a shared network drive so you can call the network address vs. calling a local file:/// address.

Can't preview anything in browsers

Would anyone have a clue why I can't preview nearly anything
in a browser? The only pages that work are the ones with simple
html and graphics. Yesterday my javascript pop up menus I'm using
in a template that I created in dreamweaver went crazy (and I don't
know how to fix javascript) so today I was researching alternative
methods for pop up menus and I'm working on a simple CSS tutorial
for rollovers (yes, I didn't know how to do that either) and I
can't even preview this in a browser now. I've attached the code.
Please help if you can!

Hi Nowherecreative:
There is a linked CSS file named navigation.css. The code you
pasted in
shows up fine in my browsers as a list of hyperlinks which is
what
should be expected if the CSS file is not found.
From looking at the code here it would appear that your
navigation.css
is in the same folder as your web page. Typically CSS files
will be
stored in a subdirectory on the site, so perhaps you would
find that
file in a folder named "css" or "styles" or something
similar, so the
path would be:
css/navigation.css
to link to the CSS file where your styles are found.
If you are interested in a tool to use in Dreamweaver to
create
multi-level menus (or even just simple rollover menus) take a
look at
WebAssist's CSS Menu Writer at:

Preview in Web Browser stopped working

Hello -
I used to be able to preview my project in Web Browser but today for some reason after I click it, the window opens and it looks like it is generating but when it finishes the browser window does not open. I can preview Project, Preview from this Slide and Preview next 5 slides but not from Web Browser anymore. I am using CP 4 and I recently updated with the new patch.
I have completely closed CP and rebooted but still not able to Preview in Web Browser. Is there something I can do to get this to work again?

Hi there
You might want to try clobbering the Captivate settings file. For Captivate 3 on a Windows XP PC you would look in the following location:
X:\Documents and Settings\XX\Application Data\Adobe\Adobe Captivate
X = Drive letter
XX = Logged in user name
In this location (Which you may need to coax Windows into allowing you to see) you should find a file named captivate_v30.dat. Just Close Captivate and delete this file. Then restart Captivate. Captivate should bake you up a fresh one on the spot. And it may correct the issue.
To my knowledge this is the closest you can get to a fresh install without actually reinstalling.
It would really be way cool if we had a secret key combination that could be issued while Captivate was in the process of starting up that would accomplish this. Either that, or an option we could choose in the application itself. If you feel as I do, please consider requesting it via the Wish Form!
Cheers... Rick

"Preview Page in Browser" stopped working...

Hi guys,
First off, looking forward to seeing what's unveiled at Create Now Live on December, 11th!
Anyway, here's the Muse bug that just cropped up yesterday as I was working on a niche one-pager site: when I tried "Preview Page in Browser," nothing happened.
Usually when I'm working in Muse, I already have Firefox open on my screen, and when I hit "Preview Page in Browser," it'll open a new tab with the preview. This time, nada, no new tab, no preview.
Have no idea if my system settings or anything else has changed since the last time I designed a mini-site in Muse, a few weeks ago, when "Preview in Browser" was working fine. I'm on an (aging) PC laptop, running Windows XP.
Any ideas what's going on? Thanks again!

Hello,
Could you please check if the issue is specific to one website on your computer.
You can try creating a new test website and check if you are able to preview it in a browser or not.
If it does not work, please try deleting the AdobeMuse folder from the location :
Windows 7: C:\Users\your_user_name\AppData\Roaming\
Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\your_user_name\Application Data
Mac: /Users/your_user_name/Library/Preferences/
After that please relaunch Adobe Muse and check if you get the preview in Browser feature to work or not.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Sachin

When I type a link to a page in my root directory in code view and I click on the link in live view it does not go to that page. But if I preview in a browser it works fine.

When I type a link to a page in my root directory in code view and I click on the link in live view it does nothing. When I then go to preview in a browser it works fine. Can anybody help?

I am not sure however I suspect live view is for viewing the page you are working on. You would have to open the other page to see it in live view. The browser on the other hand is doing what it is designed to do. I jump back and forth all the time from live view to the browsers I have installed.

Help me! I can't preview Some PDF Files

Some of documents I created can't be previewed in
acrobat.com? Why?
The two documents are created by Openoffice.org 3 Beta2
writier. but only one can preview in acrobat.com...
This file can be previewed...
https://share.acrobat.com/adc/document.do?docid=8e8df1a4-1639-4a21-bdcd-e9fbab9f71f1
This file CAN'T be previewed...
https://share.acrobat.com/adc/document.do?docid=ba71d1b3-d8be-4041-be8b-7d7c7e578841
If I create documents by Acrobat 9,would it be no problem in
preview mode?

Renu86,
Please disable any ad blocking or flash blocking plug-ins you
have enabled in your browser, or try using a fresh installation of
Mozilla Firefox. The blank black screen you see is most often
caused by ad blocking software falsely identifying Acrobat.com's
Flex-based software as a large Flash advertisment and not
displaying the content. Unfortunately this is beyond the control of
the Acrobat.com developers and would be local to the client
machine.
We are working with several of the most popular ad blocking
software developers to resolve this situation.

How to enabled "Preview Template" and/or "Delete Template"

Hello All,
I am trying to preview a standard XML Template but it is greyed out. When i take my mouse over it.. It says "Preview Template Disabled". It says "Delete Template disabled" when i move my mouse over Delete..
How do i enable these features so i can modify my template?
Regards,
Venkat

hi
it will work,if every thing is associated properly.
If you uploaded a preview data file for your data definition, the Preview feature will merge this data file with the selected template to allow you to immediately view a sample of the report within the Template Manager.
the only thing you need to preview is sample data in Data Definition
IN DATA DEFINITION
-->in "Preview Data" upload a sample xml file
IN TEMPLATES
-->select the corresponding template
-->select the "Preview Format"
-->then preview
thanks

What file types can be previewed?

Clearly I am able to preview PDFs in Bridge. However, can I preview RTF files? .webarchive files?
Thanks.

Robin, I use Microsoft Expression Media as my all-around file browser. It handles both RTF and webarchive (.war) files, and many more. Link:

Edge Animate doesn't respond to trigger, auto-plays to the end while previewing in the browser.

I've this strange problem with EA.
I was working on a project which was doing pretty well. You may see it over here.
This afternoon I wanted to make some progress, opened the file, clicked preview in browser. What I saw was the auto-play of animation from start to end. No regard to triggers whatsoever. So, I downloaded the original file from the web server (which obviously is working as you can see from the above link), reopened in AE and tried to preview in the browser, same thing happened, doesn't respond to triggers, just auto-plays start to finish in one go. I hit publish again (with no edits, just loaded up the originals from server, saved and published.), and re-uploaded to the web server to see if it had anything to do with my local settings. It behaved same as the preview, auto play, as if there was no triggers.
Am i doing something wrong here? or is this a known bug? if so, is there a work around to this issue?
Thanks!
PS: I restarted the PC and reinstalled EA, that didn't help either.

Must be a problem with the graphics drivers or operating system.. Any other system malfunctioning reported ?
If yes, kindly contact your system admin and format your OS...
Must be a problem with compatibility, so please do the the above
Happy browsing

Error "Can't Preview"

I'm getting the error "Can't Preview" when I try to preview my book on my mac or iPad. It can't be opened on another mac either. I can preview other books, just not this one. Any ideas? I've tried restarting everything, renaming the file, installing/uninstalling author.

Your book is created using iBooksAuthor and you do not have any problems opening the book for to work on it?
If you used a lot of images.. are they all within the allowed sizes?
Ditto movie or sound files?
Open a new template give it a name and save it. Now run Preview in both iMac and iPad and if that works OK.. then your book file has problems.

Master Previews disappear in Browser

Hi All
Recently when I import files (RAW) and then edit to create a new version, the new version Preview displays..but the Master preview is just a blank box. I can still view the master in Full Screen, and still edit it to create new versions...but no display of the preview in the browser.
If I view Browser AND Viewer, then the Master preview is visible again. I have only noticed this since the upgrade to 2.1.1 Have I toggled something...or is this an "undocumented feature" (cough).
TIA

If I understand the issue, I had a similar problem--sporadic previews in the browser (some thumbnails would show up, but others would not). Anyhow, if this is the problem, I read from another thread that you need to close out of Aperture and then reopen while holding the Option and Command keys... This brings up the dialogue box to "rebuild your library database". I chose the option for "consistency check" and it rebuilt my thumbnails perfectly (I didn't click on the "rebuild now" option, so I can't vouch for that).
Good luck.
