Page preview different than live view

My new page looks fine in preview, but once I upload it to the server, the layout is wrong, and the page looks completely different. I get an error saying Some files on the server may be missing or incorrect. Clear browser cache and try again. If the problem persists please contact website author. Please help? Thanks!

Hi Sara,

Dreamweaver CS4 Preview Different Than Live?

Hi,
I need help/guidance figuring this out:
when the page is displayed in Dreamweaver CS4 design view the top menu is aligned properly, the font size is according to the CSS code and all other tags like H2 or H4 are properly displayed
same when I choose to see the new page in "Preview In Browser" (F12) in Firefox or Safari (I'm on Mac Book)
if I choose to preview the new page on "Live View" or after uploading to the server and view it in any browser suddenly the top menu is left aligned and all H tags are not displayed correctly.
This is a new development so the URL is on the hosting server as an IP: http://65.254.68.145
I tested with W3C and it passed.
Any pointers are appreciated.
Thanks,
Joseph

Thanks SnakEyez02 for your reply,
Most of the time I use "Preview in Browser" or [F12] and that shows me the same as the design view which in this case is different than actually viewing the page on the web server (live). I do understand your point for setting dimensions on the menu box and I'l do those changes, but maybe you can also give me your opinion for the H2 tags, as you can see in the 2 images attached to the original post, bellow the menu there are H2, H3 and H4 tags and they look different as well, it's like only part of the style.css is applied.
Thanks,
Joseph

Problem: design view looks completely different than live view

I am trying to make changes to my home page in Dreamweaver, and when I am viewing the page in 'design view' the background image for the container is missing, and the divs are all over the place. When I view the same page in live view and in browser preview, it looks fine.
Because I can't really see what the page is going to look like in 'design view', I can't really make changes to the site. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks for the help.

When things get really goofed up, it could be caused by malformed code or orphaned div tags. Sometimes browsers will let you slide with poor code, but DW Design View won't.
Use these online code validation tools and fix any reported errors.

Page looks fine in live view but not fine in safari

my index.html page looks okay in live view, but when i open it in safari some of my text is unformated. My CSS page is correct so the problem lies in my code. I have attached the html file, any help will be appreciated. Thank you!

Thanks for taking the time to reply to question. Aftr taking a break. I came back realized I inserted the stylesheet before I changed site settings. I just needed to remove the forward slash from my stylesheet declaration. FYI for anyone else new to DW: if stuffs not showing in Live View and Browser Preview eg background images, Go to Manage Sites and check your site setting for Links relative to: You may have switched between document and site root. Thus breaking your links to images or in my case the entire style sheet.

Photo rotaion in organize view different than edit view & slideshow

Photo rotaion in organize view different than edit view & slideshow. The fact that the power supply to the computer was accidentally disconnected while I was working in iPhoto no doubt was the cause of this phenom.
Any suggestions as to how to re-sync the rotations back up?

Thanks for the tip. I wasn't aware of the use of theses two keys simultaneously. It occured to me after this post to just trash the whole library which I had just created for this particular group of photos and re-import the photos to a newly re-created library. I still had the camara connected so as it turned out it was fairly easy. Now that I think about it, if this hadn't been a newly created library just for this group of photos it wouldn't have worked so simply, so I guess I discovered another benifit for having multiple libraries.
I'm glad you recomended the apple/alt key combo though as this knowledge no-doubt will come in handy at some time.

Dreamweaver view different than browser view.

I'm doing my best to learn HTML and CSS, but am a relative newbie.
I have my new homepage working in all the browsers I've tried (and Mac and PC), but it looks terrible in Dreamweaver which makes it very difficult to edit. What am I doing wrong? Since the page renders fine in all the browsers I've tested, I don't know where to start. Any help you guys can provide would be much appreciated.
The page is here:

TIA

Start by validating your code and fix reported errors. DW isn't a browser so it's much less forgiving of errors in your code. HINT: You have the <body> tag incorrectly nested above the </head> tag.
http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=http%3A%2F%2Fskyhoundz.com%2F
Also keep in mind that since DW isn't a browser, Design View isn't 100% perfect. Use Live View and Preview in browsers to check layout changes.

Results look different in Live View and Browser Lab

I'm using CS5 and am using absolute positioning to place an image. It looks great in Live View, but when I open Browser Lab it has shifted dramatically. Any ideas what's going on and with view should I trust. Thanks.

Hi Jalynoble,
We've tried to repro the issue you describe, but haven't been able to, so it must be something specific to your page. Can you provide us with a URL or package up and email the source code for the page with this issue so we can look into it?
You can post the url here, or email the files to [email protected]

Design View differs from Live view problem

I have Dreamweaver CS5.5 with Mac OS 10.7.3 on an iMac. I have the same set-up on a Macbook Pro 17
The problem is that the Design view is showing different fonts and not picking up layout as per CSS style but the Live view is all correct.
All is fine on the laptop so it is my iMac specific glytch
I have checked the settings for diplaying CSS styles and they are ticked
I have switched off the activation settings for Suitcase Fusion 3 in case of conflict there
I have uninstalled and reinstalled Dreamweaver
I think it a font-related problem as the design view only seems to want to display non-serif fonts.
Am I doomed to only use the lap-top in my web work?
I hope someone can advise as I am rather frustrated

I think that's just the way it is...

Print with preview different than image using ICC's

Hello;
I am using CS2. Suddenly when I print with preview and choose "any" icc profile, I see an off color image. This off color image is printed off color and not what I originally had. It is approximately 1/2 to one stop density lighter (and redder) and the shadows are cyan/blue, instead of neutral black.
If I choose Adobe RGB as the profile and print, the image is close but not correct. This is happening with CS2 and elements 6.
Of course the r1800 is set for ICM and off - no color adjustment.
I have down loaded new profiles, reinstalled my epson r1800, checked for missing files in CS2.
I am running windows XP Home, 2gig memory, dell xps. I have been using this system for over two years without a problem until now.
Does any one know where I can check for the problem and how to correct for it?
Thanks

I can't determine whether you mean the print preview dialog's image, or the
preview that is optionally displayed by the Epson driver. The preview
shown by the Epson driver (as opposed to the one shown in the CS2 print
preview dialog) is misleading. The reason is that the RGB values for the
printer are being displayed directly on your monitor. Epsons tend to print
a bit on the cool side, so it's normal for the image to have an overall
reddish look to it.
You say two other things that seem ambiguous to me. One is that if you
choose "any" icc profile, the colors change. Does this include your
monitor profile, and other profiles such as sRGB and Adobe RGB? If they
all appear the same, then I would suspect that something is highly out of
kilter here - for example that you have ICC enabled in your printer driver
settings and are double profiling. The second thing is that the final
printed output matches the off color preview image. I have no explanation
for this, other than random coincidence.
It's hard to be definitve, about either of the above points, because I'm
not sure which preview image you are referring to.
> If I choose Adobe RGB as the profile and print, the image is close but
> not correct. This is happening with CS2 and elements 6.
Printing to Adobe RGB should produce very subdued colors, yet you are
seeing close to normal colors. Again, a puzzle that would cause me to
check your printer driver settings. It is very easy to double profile, and
with Epson's this almost always produces a magenta image.
> Of course the r1800 is set for ICM and off - no color adjustment.
For Windows, I'm used to the Epson drivers providing you with about four
choices, which include a "no color adjustment" choice, manual,
PhotoEnhance, and an "ICM" choice. On the Mac, I believe you can select
ICM from a pulldown, then disable color adjustment with a separate check
box which disables the pulldown. If you could explain this descrepancy
that might be helpful.

Next step is to reset your prefs - hold down shift, ctrl, alt during
startup and say yes when it asks for your first born child.

Read Ian Lyons's web page on how to set up your color prefs
http://www.computer-darkroom.com/ps9_colour/ps9_1.htm
After resetting your prefs, and going over your color settings, I would
advise you to do a systematic test as follows:
o Set your printer, and photoshop's working space to sRGB mode
o Create a one inch by 8 inch neutral gradient
o Print it, and verify that the gradient is reasonably neutral, and about
the right brightness.
o Set your printer to no color correction
o Have Photoshop print using the profile for your printer
o If the gradient looks wrong - too dark, or with color casts as you
descrive, the problem may be a bad profile. Use Curvemeister's profile
plotter to get an idea of the quality of the profile, whether it has abrupt
breaks, etc.
http://curvemeister.com/downloads/profileplotter/dercurvemeisterprofileplotter.zip
If you decide the profile is bad, and cannot find another one, then live
with PhotoEnhance mode over sRGB, and specify sRGB as the printer profile
in Photoshop. Work that way until you find a better profile.

Browser view in Dreamweaver different than IE view on other PCS

I'm setting up a new webpage. The page layout, fonts, etc. look great on my page in Dreamweaver CS4 and also when I use the preview in browser tool.
I then publish my page out to our Intranet - still looks good to me. However, everyone else in our office is seeing it differently. The fonts are different, the navigation buttons appear different, some of the colors are different. Looks horrible compared to the page I created. Any suggestions??

Without seeing the page, we can only guess.
Did you upload the CSS file with the page?

Why is preview different than once it is rendered !!!!

Man, i hope you guys can help me with this fustrating problem. I finished a project in 8 bit uncompressed. There's a particular spot where i'm compositing 2 video and one of them has a flare FX. In the unlimited preview mode it looks fine but once i render it, it's different. Help ! Thanks
Message was edited by: tutudrummer

I found the problem...i'm not sure if this is a bug with FCP 6 or it's normal...Anyways, i usually change the video processing from 8 bit to high precision YUV when it comes time to render. This high precision YUV gives better result than the regular 8 bit that is set as default. I do this all the time for all my projects and never had a problem....so does this mean that it's just this particular filter ( flare ) or a bug with FCP6 or it's normal that it's doing this and i've just been lucky in the past. Any explanations ??? Thanks

Small book title page previews differently from layout in Aperture

I have laid out a small book and in Aperture I have:
1. The cover
2. A grey left hand page
3. A Title right hand page
4 etc - all the photos.
I've laid out some of these as double-page 1-up spreads. Looks great but the problem is when I preview it the grey left hand page right after the cover disappears, throwing everything out of sequence. This splits up the double-pagers, making the book absurd.
Any idea (a) whether Aperture or Preview correctly shows what the finished book will look like, and (b) how to bring them into line/avoid this happening again??

This post was great! Thank you so much. But I am hoping you know one more thing related to this. In the "transform" section of the definition (where the x/y coordinates are set along with height and width) there is an option called "angle". I was hoping that changing this value would allow me to offset the angle of the picture. However, if I put any value there other than 0 the template becomes unusable.
Do you happen to know what this option does?
I haven't looked into the files, so this is just a guess based on how some graphic applications work. It's common to think of rotating a shape as pivoting around a center point, but It's possible that the file sets a value for the rotation point not at the center. In some graphics applications, you can set a shape's pivot at any corner or in the middle of any side, of the rectangle that contains the whole shape.
So, your value may be rotating the shape around a pivot that moves the shape into some area that upsets the behavior of other shapes. Just a thought.

Peter's point is a good one. I would also assume that the "angle" property allows you to rotate an image, but I haven't tried it myself. One thing to investigate - are there any page templates included in LR that have image placeholders that are at an angle (I don't recall any, off-hand)? If so, looking at the associated .lua file could provide insight into how an angled image placeholder should be described.

Page Format different than doc

I have converted a pdf file to a word doc so I can insert into my document but the margins are different and the form is being cut off when I insert. I cannot change the margins on my document do to the large content. How can I get it to fit?

Hello Peter,
All our projects reside on a shared network drive. We both
have access to them. When I say "my PC" or "my partner's PC", I
mean that the project is open on my or my partner's PC. But it is
the same project, not a copy of the project.
We tried your suggestion, and both projects generated letter
size documents on my side, and A4 documents on her side.
Since my original post, we have reinstalled RH as suggested
on a different message board. This did not solve this problem. We
have checked and installed update files from the Adobe site - no
change. We've even had our techies poke around, but they couldn't
come up with anything.
Our only working solution so far is to generate the Word
document and change the page format manually. Which doesn't sound
too bad, except that 2 of our projects each require 17 different
pdf files - so it makes for a lot of manual attention as opposed to
a simple "Batch Generate".
As I wrote in my first post, I'm not sure if this is a RH
issue, so I really appreciate any help you can provide.
Thanks
Ben

Colors are previewing differently than design mode

Anyone run into this problem before.... I've got a picture that looks way darker/desaturated in design mode than it does in preview mode. It doesn't happen with all pics, but it's a little irritating.
See pics (the second one - Preview mode - is correct):

Yes same issue. On the left is design mode. On the right is the preview in the browser. The preview in the browser is correct. This site was built in the previous version of Muse.
Something needs to be done about this quickly or I see no point in using this software. It is visually inaccurate.
