Preview in browser list grayed

The "preview in browser" list is grayed out and can not be used in my dreamweaver 8.
When I remove all the browsers in the list and at them again it gives the same result and when I remove them all they reappear, but grayed out.
I saw that a lot of users have the same problem but never saw a solution.
Can anyone help?

Do you have the 8.0.2 update for DW8?

After deleting your personal config folder, restart your computer. That usually worked for me.

Preview in Browser and Adobe Browser Lab show website differently? Please help

Hi...working on my first website and I have a question about the differences in viewing the site through
choosing file...preview in browser....
from within Dreamweaver, and using the Adobe Browser Lab to view the website.
There seems to be a very significant difference between the two. When I preview firefox from within dreamweaver, my site is just how I want it.
When I go to browser lab, it is...well... a disaster.
I'm attaching screenshots of the two as well as my code, so it can show how different they are. Here is a screenshot of the website as it looks when I use the preview in browser function from within dreamweaver to view it in firefox. This is how I'd like it to look.
And here is a screenshot of what it looks like when I preview it in Adobe Browser Lab in Firefox.
The quote is underneath the logo, the left div text is flowing over the center div, the nav bar graphics are too narrow, the photo is hanging outside the div it should be contained in. Not what I want.
Does anyone have any insight into how I would fix this or which version is correct?
I'm stumped. This is my first website: shouldn't these two things be similar? And which one is correct?
and here is my code:

Thanks for your help.

You are using % widths for your layout which means it will look different depending of the size of each users monitor. Although this is probably the better way to go these days, it is not one size fits all and will work more effectively if you include min and max widths, and also media queries that change your layout depending on the monitor size. This is more advanced coding and will take time if you want to do that. Alternatively, you could design using pixel widths and have it look consistent across all desktop browsers and throw a few media queries in for the mobile side.

Preview in browser stopped working

Running CS4 version 10 build 4117 and today when I went to do some work I cannot use "preview in browser"
Edit List has both firefox and IE listed but when I click the globe it tells me no browsers selected.
tried removing browsers and re-selecting them but still no browsers listed
Very annoying .. I have seen some threads about previous versions having this problem, and I have also seen the firefox 3.6 threads but none of those are the answer to this.

More info.
With a fresh session, Firefox seems to work okay. Once trying
to preview with IE 7 then DW stops responding. Restarting DW, then
Firefox no longer works also.

Will not display images in preview in browse

Hello:
I am new to fireworks and am attempting to make a simple pop up menu but am having trouble viewing the image. First, I converted a .jpeg image to a button. I then put menu pop-up functions on this button. When I displayed it in preview with browser, the pop-up images displayed, but there was an "x'd" out image where the original should have been.
I was curious about why this was, figured that there was a problem with the file that I imported, and so I decided to just use one of the library's buttons. Again - the original button was "x'd" out but the pup-up functions displayed.
I therefore decided to go even more basic and simply painted an image gray and attempted to preview in browser. Again, "x'd" out image.
Can someone please tell me how to fix this?? It is driving me INSANE!!!!
The crazy thing is that earlier this morning, everything was working just fine. The images would display perfectly. Now, they are gone and I am at witt's end trying to figure out what the heck is going on.
If ANYONE could please help me, I would be in such gratitude.
Thanks
Ben (noob to web design)

If you think you're insane now, try maintaining those pop up menus.
As far as I know, these menus have not been updated since FW 8, so
they are at least two versions old.
Save yourself a lot of grief by avoiding those menus. There are many
other products on the market which do a much better job of creating
and maintaining this type of navigation structure.
Read this link before you climb any higher on this slippery slope:
http://apptools.com/rants/jsmenu.php
There was another blog post by the fellow who originally wrote the pop
up menu feature, but I can't seem to locate it. Even he says stay away
from them.
Not the answer you probably want, but I hope it helps, nonetheless.

Browsers greyed out in Preview in Browser

Hi
I'm using DW 8.0.2. I have the following browsers installed:
- IE7
- Firefox 2
- Mozilla 1.7
- Safari 3.0.2
- Opera 9.1
In Preview in Browser (either from the File menu or the tool
bar), all but
Firefox (& the option to edit the list) are greyed out. I
have IE set as
primary, and can preview using that by hitting F12. Safari is
set as
Secondary, and Ctrl-F12 works for that. But the only one I
can actually
click on in the list is Firefox. I can't preview with Mozilla
or Opera at
all.
I'm running Vista Ultimate. They all worked fine on my XP
machine (except
Safari which wasn't installed). Any suggestions?
Thanks
Dave

Hi
I checked that on all of them - they are still greyed out.
And like I say,
both IE & Opera work with the shortcut keys - I just
can't click on them (or
the others) in the list.

Can not add Google in Preview in Browser Window

Hi
I have just started usning DW 13.2 CC on win7. In Preferences>Preview in Browser> Help, OK, Cancel Buttons are missing. Only + - Buttons are visible. I followed to next window and added Name and pointed to .exe file it took me back to <Preview in Browser> Help, OK, Cancel Buttons are missing. So how do I add Google?

Not sure what the OK and Cancel buttons are, but by using the following procedure, you will be able to add your favourite browser.
To add a browser to the list, click the Plus button, complete the Add Browser dialog box, and then click OK.
To delete a browser from the list, select the browser, and then click the Minus button.
To change settings for a selected browser, click the Edit button, make changes in the Edit Browser dialog box, and then click OK.
Select the Primary Browser or the Secondary Browser option to specify whether the selected browser is the primary or secondary browser. F12 (Windows) or Option+F12 (Macintosh) opens the primary browser; Control+F12 (Windows) or Command+F12 (Macintosh) opens the secondary browser.
Select Preview Usin
Select File > Preview In Browser > Edit Browser List.
Select Preview Using Temporary File to create a temporary copy for previewing and server debugging. (Deselect this option if you want to update the document directly.)
Please ignore the images of the plus and minus buttons, these are courtesy of this forum and has zilch to do with DW

Preview in browser - Firefox / File not found

Specs:
OS X 10.4.7
Dreamweaver 8.0.2
Firefox 1.5.0.1
I (and my whole office) am having a major problem. We all
work directly from files on our osx server. When working in
Dreamweaver and trying to "Preview in browser" with Firefox 1.5 we
get a "File not found" error. The problem seems to be stemming from
the path lacking the "Volumes" part of the directory.
For example:
When I preview in Safari the path is shown as:
file:///Volumes/Server_HD/Website_Folder/index.html (this
works)
But on Firefox or Mozilla I get:
file:///Server_HD/Website_Folder/index.html (this does not
work)
This problem did not occur in previous versions of Firefox.
Due do this problem, I have virtually eliminated Firefox as part of
my workflow in favor of Safari. I would love to return to Firefox
can anybody please help me!?

Can you try again please, although not in a narrative? Just
go to the
ADVANCED tab on the Site Definition panel, and list the
contents of the
fields you see for Local, Remote, and Testing Categories (no
need for the
login info).

Preview in Browser - IE6 - not loading

Has anyone had problems getting DW8 Previewing in IE6.
I have for sometime just lived with the problem - opening IE6
outside
of DW8 - but it's much easier just to click the Preview in
Browser
button.
I have set up the browsers in Edit Browser List - but IE just
refuses
to start.
I have Firefox & Opera working normally using this method
- it's just
IE6 not being started up.
One other clue - if the Preview in temporary file is enabled
- IE
loads. If Preview in temporary file is NOT enabled - IE does
not
load.
I like to use no temporay file at times - so the problem is a
real
pain at times.

This browser no longer exists at the location specified in the preview in browser preferences

I am creating a new website using Adobe Dreamweaver CC 2014. I tried to preview it in Chrome and I received an error message saying, "This browser no longer exists at the location specified in the Preview in Browser preferences." It previews fine in IE. I use Chrome as my default, but I personally have not gone in and reset anything so I don't understand why this is happening since I created my last Dreamweaver site. Any ideas how I can fix this?
Jennifer

Okay, thank you. Inside Dreamweaver, I selected Edit Browser List and then it opened to show Chrome F12 and Internet Explorer. I chose Chrome F12 and I got the following responses in the screenshots below. I don't know what to do about the final image error message.

Preview in browser fault

I am using Dreamweaver 9 with a MacBook. I have used it fine
for about 3 months. Until yesterday ...
The preview in browser function suddenly stopped working and
now I get the message:
"Unable to read Preview in Browser preferences. Please remove
all browsers from the list and add them again."
Unfortunately, however, when I try to add browsers through
the preferences option dreamweaver wont accept a new entry and I
just end up with a blank list and stuck.
I see some other people had this problem with dreamweaver 8,
but noone seems to have posted a solution. I would appreciate some
help.
Laurence

Could be a corrupted Prefs file.
Try dragging the Dreamweaver 9 Prefs file to the desktop, so
that
Dreamweaver will automatically generate a new prefs file the
next time you
start Dreamweaver. The prefs file is located at:
Mac HD/Users/<username>/Library/Preferences/Dreamweaver
9 Prefs
Restart Dreamweaver and see if the problem is resolved.

Preview in Browser shows site fine....but uploaded....

Hi all,
I'm coming accross a strange problem.
I've taken over the creation of a website, things were going well.
Yet this evening, for some unknown reason, the site has started to display differently when uploaded.
Everything looks fine in Dreamweaver. Everything looks fine in a browser, using the Preview in Browser feature.
But when its uploaded, the menu bar on the left has all the contents out of line.
http://www.emersonlakepalmer.com/www/index.html
The design is meant to be centralised, directly underneath the logo. Yet for some reason, there's an additional (unwanted) centimetre of blue on the right, and the text is alligned right too. This isn't my doing, and doesn't appear like that in Dreamweaver/Preview in Browser. (I'm using the IE8 both times)
No amount of fiddling can fix it, its spoils the look of the site.
Can anyone explain step-by-step how to fix it ? I'm confined to WYSYWYG mostly, code isn't my strong point.
Thanks !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Honestly, your code is a real mess. The fact that you lost your original was probably a godsend.
You might want to look at an alterntive layout before you invest much more time on the one you have.
Copy and paste this into a new, blank HTML page. Tested and works in IE6,7,8, Chrome, FF and Opera. NOTE: I changed images to absolute URLs so I could work with it. You can change them back site relative.

I was previewing my CS4 design using firefox, but all of a sudden when I press F12 no preview loads. Can someone help me out?
Thanks

Check to make sure you still have your F-lock on. If you have inadvertently clicked the F-lock button, none of your Function keys will work as function keys, they will switch over to doing whatever other tasks they have been assigned (Mine say "Help," "Undo," "Redo," etc. etc.).
If that doesn't help, check your path to the FireFox program Edit > Preview in Browser will get you the dialog box. Click on Firefox in the list and re-assign the F12 key to it. You could also click Firefox and then click the Edit button to see where it is opening (or not...) Firefox from.
You should be able to invoke "Preview in Browser" even when you are in Live View. But I notice that Firefox takes a lot longer to load than Chrome or Internet Explorer.

Preview In Browser Not Working With Safari 3.0 On Mac

When using the "Preview in Browser" command from DW CS3, the
file address information is incorrect when previewed in Safari 3.0.
I don't recall this being a problem before I updated my Mac to
Tiger. Anyone else had any problems with this?
Thanks,

If the address information is incorrect you should double
check your paths. Also, consider using the computer's IP address if
you can as opposed to the localhost address. All you would need to
make that work is to just turn on Web Sharing in the preferences
(this turns on Apache web server). I have found this to be a much
more reliable method on the Mac.
Also, please make sure, if you have not already done so, that
Safari is the latest version (meaning the final release and not the
beta), because there were issues with the beta that I had.

When previewed in browser or on the server the path of my web site repeats folders. However the "href" in the html code does not show the repetition in the path.

If someone could help me on this one, this would be great. I am creating a web site that has several departments. I have categorized and saved each department in a main folder called "departments" and a subfolder for each one. In the Dreamweaver code view the pop-up menu links seem to show up properly, but when I preview in browser or upload to server "page not found" comes up because for some reason the address changes. Some parts of the address seem to be appearing twice, sometimes the entire path will appear twice as shown below:
http://www.graphicmechanic.com/DEKALBCOUNTY/departments/parks-and-recreation/departments/p arks-and-recreation/pr-arabiamtn-map.html
that is incorrect and it takes me to "web page cannot be found".
It is obviously repeating the folders (hence the "departments/parks-and-recreation" twice. The correct link is:
http://www.graphicmechanic.com/DEKALBCOUNTY/departments/parks-and-recreation/pr-arabiamtn- map.html
The link issues are happening in the pop-up menu. For example if you go to http://www.graphicmechanic.com/DEKALBCOUNTY/departments/parks-and-recreation/pr-arabiamtn. html and rollover the link called "Arabia Mountain" in the links to the left side of the page, then click the pop-up menu link entitled "Arabia Mountain Map" that's where the problem occurs.
Can anyone tell me how I can fix this problem. I don't know what I should do with the code since it already appears correct in html view.
Please help if you can...
Thanks in advance for any possible help you can provide...

The link issues are happening in the pop-up menu.
This problem usually happens when the menu is either a server-side include or a library item using links relative to the document. When you reference a page at a different level of the folder hierarchy, the document-relative links no longer point to the correct destination.
Change the links in the menu to be relative to the site root.
A document-relative link usually looks like this:
<a href="../products/index.html">Products</a>
A link relative to the site root begins with a forward slash like this:
<a href="/products/index.html">Products</a>

Error message with Preview in Browser

When I click on "Preview in Browser" in
Dreamweaver 8.0 it takes me to a custom error page on our website
that says " page not found". For example here is
the URL it creates for the temporary view page:
http://ftp.svunet.org/htdocs/annual_conference/TMPfi1yavu5db.htm.
Why is it trying to create a page on our server and not on my hard
drive?

Did you define a testing server for this site, and enter the
remote info?
That's about the only way this will happen.
do you need a testing server? is there asp/php/etc dynamic
server side
scripting? If not- go into the site definition, click the
Advanced tab, and
in the Testing server category, set access to None.
