Preview in browser (PIB), problem continues

Using DWCS5.5. Have website design using server-side includes with IIS testing server on my local drive. Site is running "live" on the internet just fine. Previously, there had been no problems viewing this same site in the PIB function in DW.
Made a "slight" change to the page content, and now in PIB (IE and Chrome only -- no problem with FireFox, Opera or Safari), it suddenly started to get external ad links (red text, underlined) to regular text on the page. Not sure of what was happening, I copied my backup of the site back onto my PC, figuring that all would be fine. It wasn't. This is when the problem of ad links appearing when in PIB appeared as stated. Fortunately, I haven't changed the site "live," so no problems on the internet.
Despite some form participants telling me earlier that there was no way this could be related to DW's PIB function, it sure looks like it's related to the PIB function in DW and the use of IIS testing server with it, since these are the only conditions under which I've seen the problem.
Any help appreciated.
Tom

Hi,
You are not understanding my problem. I made a "slight" change and experienced the problem I described. So, I then deleted all of the website files for that site on my local drive and simply copied back in the back-up site files in order to get back to where I was before I tried the slight change that gave me the problems. The backup files are exactly identical to what's running "live" on the internet now and all along, with no problems in any of the browsers. I would have thought that using these identical non-problem files on my local drive using the IIS testing server and the PIB function would have worked as before I had made the change. In IE live on the internet, the website with these identical files run perfectly; it does not run correctly when viewed in the PIB function in DWCS5.5. Therefore, my conclusion is there's something amiss in Dreamweaver -- somewhere. Am I wrong?

Preview in browser, IE problem

When I do a preview in browser in dw (CS4) to IE 7 on XP, it 'locks up' trying to down load a .png. it never completely loads. this happens on several pages, including ones that I have not changed. I don't have this problem in Safari, the pages preview in browser with no problems.
Then, when I simply try to open a new window in IE, it locks up on 'downloading picture tool bar x_icon_small.png'.
the .png is the only common thread i can find. one of the .png's is a photo at 20k, so they are not large.
i close IE, then i don't have the problem when i reopen it. i can open a new window in IE without any problems...... until.... i again try to preview from dw.
i looked on both Adobe and Microsoft forums but have not been able to find a similar problem.
it's bound to be a setting or switch some place, but the only thing that has changed since this started happening is that we had an old antenna removed from our building that supported our old ISP, we've been on the new ISP for about three weeks and i had not encountered the problem. i haven't installed or removed any software, i have allowed mcafee and adobe acrobat updates, but that's all i can think of.
any suggestions on what to try next?

The problem I'm having is in the 'file/preview in browser' option, not with the page in production (as this old COBOL programmer would say). I have loaded my changes, which was just changing some text on a single page and the page works perfectly, site info is below. I just wanted to see the page before I loaded it to see how the spacing looked on the screen.
I doubt, like you said, that it is an image problem, but I wanted to make you aware of what other steps I had tried to resolve the issue myself. Given the way it's happening, it's as though I have accidently reset an option on how to preview the page, but don't know what I did to cause my problem.
It's when I want to just preview it that I'm encountering the problem. I'm also encountering the problem when I try to 'preview in browser' a page that I have not changed. And it works perfectly in Safari, which I'm using as my secondary browser.
The site is not elegant, I am just learning, but for your reference the site is: http://www.electpaulpfeil.com/election.html. All I did was add the 'Mobile Absentee Voting' locations and dates.
Thanks!

Exchange 2013 EAC shows "error Sorry, your request couldn't be completed. Try deleting the cookies from your browser, and then sign in again. If the problem continues, contact your helpdesk."

Hi,
My Exchange 2013 Hybrid environment is at CU5 level. Multiple administrators have started experiencing the error message
"error
Sorry, your request couldn't be completed. Try deleting the cookies from your browser, and then sign in again. If the problem continues, contact your helpdesk."
It only started two weeks ago and did not coincide with any infrastructure changes. The message occurs when clicking anything on the EAC GUI and it eventually allows you to perform the operation but only after the message
pops up a few times.
I have tried clearing the browser cookies, history, etc. Note that using the Office 365 EAC does not yield the same messages and it only happens in IE (IE 11).
Thanks.

Hi,
From your description, please make sure that the "Require SSL" is checked in IIS Manager -> Sites -> Exchange Back End -> ECP -> SSL Settings.
What's more, ensure that EAC site is added to the “Compatibility Mode”.
Hope this can be helpful to you.

Preview In Browser Problem

I just changed from earthlink DSL to cable and the preview in
browser function doesn't work on Dream Weaver MX2004. It may be a
coincidence, but I had just used it before the cable installation
and it worked ok. The cable dsl seems to be working
properly.

PIB has nothing to do with your internet service provider.
What happens when you try? Do you have a testing server
defined? Do you
need a testing server (that is, are you building and testing
pages with
server-scripting)?

Help With Preview In Browser

Hello. I need some quick help please.
Every time I go to preview in browser, Dreamweaver asks "This
will update the file on the testing server. This might affect
others working on the file." I don't know what happened. Previously
I could go straight to the browser to view my page. But now, if I
hit yes (to continue) to preview in browser, the browser opens and
nothing is displayer. In fact, in the browser the address reads
http://ftp... Eventually it times out.
As of now, the only way to see any changes that I make is to
Put the page, which is annoying and time consuming. So, how do I
change Dreamweaver settings to just allow me to preview the page
and bypass the testing server stuff?
Thank you.

> And I have to have ftp selected as my access method
1. Are you using the real remote host as the Testing Server?
2. Do you need to use a testing server for the survey script?
Or is it a
self-contained third-party script?
3. probably cause of problem- you have entered ftp: into the
"url prefix"
line of the testing server information.
put the url address to the root level of the testing server-
in other words
http://localhost/sitefolder/
if you install a local testing server
http://www.example.com/ if using
the real server as the testing server.
AND- if using the real server for the testing server, ENABLE
using temp
files for preview in browser, otherwise you will overwrite
the current
remote file with the page you have your fingers in!.
best- IF you do need a testing server, install one on your
computer.

Why isn't a layered animation visible on top of a movie when you Preview in Browser?

I'm using the latest version of EA CC (2014)
Imported a video
Converted it into a symbol
Added a controller... plays fine on its timeline, or Preview in Browser
Then, I did the following...
Double-clicked the symbol of the video
Created an animation to play on top of it
Everything previews fine on the symbol's timeline
Here's the problem...
When I Preview in Browser, the video plays fine, but the animation that I layered on top, is not visible at all
Please advise, thanks.

Joe,
Almost there…
I added this and understand why… “Callout_01” now appears and plays:
// JB: Play the symbol
sym.getSymbol("Ani_02").play();
I initially put this in because if you click the animation as it’s playing, it’ll bring you back to Home. Then, if you click “Button_02” again, the video will play from the beginning. If you take it out, it will not play from the beginning. I should have changed the comment to read 100% instead of 10%... my fault. Joe, since you questioned it, I replaced it with a shorter piece of code that accomplishes the same thing (see below).
// Skip a video track backward by 100% of its total duration
sym.getSymbol("Ani_02").$("Vantage_FeedAssembly_Ani_02")[0].currentTime = sym.getSymbol("Ani_02").$("Vantage_FeedAssembly_Ani_02")[0].currentTime + ((-100/100) * sym.getSymbol("Ani_02").$("Vantage_FeedAssembly_Ani_02")[0].duration);
// EO: Replaced the above with this > Play the timeline at a label or specific time. For example:
// sym.play(500); or sym.play("myLabel");
sym.getSymbol("Ani_02").play(0);
I added these two after making the above changes. Because if you went back to Home and repeatedly clicked “Button02”, “Callout_01” would not show/play.
// EO: Show an element
sym.getSymbol("Ani_02").$("Callout_01").show();
// EO: Play the timeline at a label or specific time. For example:
// sym.play(500); or sym.play("myLabel");
sym.getSymbol("Ani_02").getSymbol("Callout_01").play(0);
Here’s the end of the puzzle, almost there… Previewing in browser, you click “Button02”, “Ani_02” starts to play. However, before “Callout_01” appears (at 55 sec mark), you click the Pause Button on the Controller. After a short pause (let’s say 3 sec), you click the Play Button on the Controller. As the video continues to play, you’ll notice that the Pause Button on the Controller had no effect on “Callout_01” to also stop playing… it will appear prematurely however long the pause was.
Apologize for being so wordy, but it’s the only way I can describe what is/is not happening.

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,
cloud9indusrties

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>

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.

Is there a way to use the preview in browser function without an Internet connection?

This morning our cable modem was down and I was making some changes to a page in a Muse site I'm designing. I wanted to preview the changes in a browser, but when I clicked on the Preview button (or clicked on preview in browser), I received a notification that it was checking for an Internet connection and the preview page never completed. Is there a way to use the preview in browser function in Muse without an Internet connection?

Thanks for getting back to me! When our cable modem went down, we were still connected to Airport Base Station, and perhaps it appeared to Muse that we did have an Internet connection. In any case, we have now received a new cable modem and our network is working again. As you suggested, I disconnected from the network and tried preview in Muse again, and now it seems to be working just fine. Perhaps it was just the circumstances of our network problem this morning. Good to know I can use the Muse Preview function off-line!

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.

Adobe Edge Animate CC won't preview in Browser

I am writing a review on Adobe Edge Animate CC. Loving the program until I tried to preview it in a browser.
I am on a PC, using latest version of Firefox, and IE10. The only thing that is viewable in either browser is a static image.
The animation runs perfectly "within" the Edge Animate CC program.
Need to resolve this problem, as I would hate to give the program a bad review, especially if it is something that I'm doing wrong.
Thanks for any help you can give,
Dee Marie

Thanks for your response to my question.
The animation I created was very simple one.
The Original Animation (that I could not view in any browser)
1. Resized the Stage and changed the background color
2. Created a "moon" shape from the Ellipse Tool, adding a silver color and inverted shadow
3. Animated "moon" shape using Motion Paths
4. Added a font from Edge Web Fonts (clicking the Add Fonts within the Edge Web Fonts box), changed font color and size
Saved each step as I created them
The first time I tried to create the above animation it would not animate when previewed in browser.
TODAY: I started from scratch.
The only thing that I did differently: after saving "each" step, I clicked preview in browser.
To my surprise, each time I added an additional step the animation worked perfectly when I clicked "preview in browser"
Not sure what I did wrong the first time ... as I stated above, the only thing that I did differently this time was to click the "preview in browser" between each step (after first saving each step).
So, whatever I did, it is now working perfectly!
Thanks again for your helpful response.
Sincerely,
Dee Marie
