Styles Won't Preview in Browser

This must be something simple I haven't set up right...
(fairly new at this) ... but I've created a stylesheet for the site
I'm working on and the styles all show up fine in Dreamweaver, but
whenever I try to preview the pages in a browser, the styles are
all out of wack.
This happens in both IE and Safari.
Does anyone have an idea of what I'm doing wrong?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

If you are building static pages (and it sure sounds like you
are) then you
do not need a testing server.

    Page won't preview in browser. Realy slow.
    Images half load and I just get the basic grey box with a slide show.
    Same files new version new problem
    Wan't a problem with last version.

    I'm on Mac
    I disconected from the network and it previews fine now. Performance is normal.
    I updated from whatever the previous version was to: 2014.2
    I have also been exporting the html and previewing it that way, which works.
    I would prefere to stay connected to the network. (Emails, web, my life, etc.)
    Is this an ongoing issue with the latest version of muse?

  • CSS styles disappear when previewed in browser.

    I created a web site following the Getting Started tutorials in Dreamweaver CS6.  However, when I preview in the browser, the main page shows properly but if i click a link, the other pages do not seem to attach to the style sheet - BUT the style sheet reference is present in the code.  Any ideas?
    thanks

    You are close to correct, but not quite there.
    If you have enabled the use of temporary files in PREFERENCES > Preview in browser, when you preview a page from DW, you will actually create a temporary page from the current one and it's that temporary page that is displayed in the browser. Why create a temporary page to preview? Well, if your page's code contains any root relative links (as opposed to document relative links) then those will not work if the page is previewed directly. When a temp file is built, those links in the actual page are converted to document relative links in the temp file, and this temp file is then handed to the browser to preview.
    Why don't root relative links work in a preview? When the browser sees a link like '<link href="/path_to_file.css"', it interprets the "/" as meaning the root of the HARD DRIVE, not the root of the site (browsers know nothing about DW sites), and will not find the linked file at that location (for example, C:/DW_path_to_file.css"). When those links are rewritten in the temp file being previewed as '<link href="path_to_file.css"', it works fine since the browser knows that means to look for the *.css file in the same folder as the file it is previewing.
    Make sense? By the way, this is how DW has *always* worked.

  • CS4, XSL won't preview in browser

    I'm trying to preview in browser an xsl page.  I have the xml file set in the bindings panel.  Now whenever I go to preview in browser, if I take off the bindings, it asks for it and then does nothing.  If I already have the xml set in bindings and I hit preview in browser the program still just doesn't do anything.  I know I have everything set correctly, the program just won't preview xsl in a browser, but previews HTML normally.  Any help?

    Are you using your local computer to test the XSLT document?  If so, do you have a web server running with PHP on your local server?  DW uses server side scripting to display the XSLT document so if you cannot execute PHP nothing will show up.

  • 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

  • XSL won't preview in browser

    So I hope this isn't something incredibly simple that I'm overlooking, but...
    I recently upgraded to CS4 fro CS3 (on a Mac). I have an XSL file to transform some XML for use in InDesign. In CS3, I could open the XSL file, specify the XML file in the bindings panel, then preview in browser to get the transformed XML. So I opened CS4 and followed the same steps, but when I ask Dreamweaver to preview in browser, nothing happens. I've specified Firefox as my primary browser and Safari as secondary, but neither does anything. What am I missing here?
    Thanks!

    Are you using your local computer to test the XSLT document?  If so, do you have a web server running with PHP on your local server?  DW uses server side scripting to display the XSLT document so if you cannot execute PHP nothing will show up.

  • SWF won't preview in browser.

    I changed/updated an SWF movie on my index page. It previews in fine in Live View, but reverts to the movie I replaced it with in FF and Safari. Forget about uploading it, it only uploads the old movie. I'm flummoxed.  HELP?

    Your code is messed up.  You've got too many <html> tags and too many <body> tags in your document.  Looks like you copy & pasted everything from one page into another.
    Look at corrected code below and note that the <body> tag goes inside the <html> tag.  And everything is closed at the end.  Repeat on your other site pages.  Use the W3C code validation tools to help you.

    Flash only sites don't typically do well with Search Engines.  You really should add some equivalent HTML content for the various devices and users who can't use Flash.

  • Fonts won't preview in browser

    When I preview a page in Dreamweaver (with path file:///Users/ ... ), the web fonts no longer show up properly. They display on live webpages correctly, but I recently removed duplicate fonts from my system using Linotype Font Explorer...and I'm wondering if somehow I deleted a font in an area that Dreamweaver uses?
    I double checked in these areas and appears Verdana, Georgia, etc are in there.
    /Users/[username]/Library/Fonts
    /Library/Fonts
    I'm using 10.6 and see the problem in Firefox, Safari and Chrome as well as Dreamweaver's Live View.
    Is there anywhere else I should look? Any help would be very much appreciated!

  • Preview in Browser

    Everytime I try to do the Preview in Browser using
    Dreamweaver, I get a message saying that 1 file or folder were not
    completed and then in the browser it says that the page cannot be
    found. I've tried moving my page around in Dreamweaver, into
    different folders, and I still get the same message. What am I
    doing wrong? How do I fix this?
    Thanks for the help!

    To preview pages with server scripting, you have to set up a
    testing server
    by installing PHP and Apache.

  • Please help - can't preview in Browser

    Ok - I am relatively new to Dreamweaver, even though I designed my previous website in Frontpage.  I bought a template thinking that I could just worry about designing the website rather than the background stuff (don't get mad at me).  Well, that wasn't working and I tried to design my own template, which is very simple.  Anyway, I am so messed up now.   The old pages with the old template won't preview in browser and the new ones won't either.  What did I do?

    Run your code through the validation tools below and fix reported errors.
    Orphaned HTML tags (an extra opening or closing <div> ) can mess things up.

  • Does anyone know why all of a sudden any new parent divs I add won't display in browser preview?

    Does anyone know why all of a sudden any new parent divs I add won't display in browser preview?

    yes styles are applied. What does not show up are the container divs - they all have the thin purple borders.
    The "Blog Lovers" image shows up but it is inside the #blogindex div - which seems to be invisible because the elements inside #blogindex div are just piled on top of each other. (see below html) This is now happening on all the pages of this site.
    (I test a different site in DW and I was able to add divs and borders and content inside divs just fine.)
    <!-- start #blogindex --> 
         <div id="blogindex">
            <div id="blog_image1"><img src="images/bloglovers.gif" alt="Blog Lovers" /></div>

  • 'Space after' style not applying to text in 'preview in browser' (chrome) or export modes.

    Hi all,
    I seem to run into this issue everytime I have two paragraph style applied within one text container.
    If I include a heading and apply a paragraph style which includes 'space after' and then some text below with another style it does not appear in either 'preview in browser' (Chrome) or in the exported html. The text appears butted up against each other. Please keep in mind there are no other paragraph or character styles applied to this container.
    It works if I 'unlink style from selection'.
    However this is extremely frustrating when you have a text heavy site with multiple paragraph styles - it effectively renders paragraph styles useless and generates excessive CSS code and a very time-consuming process if I need to go back and alter the paragraph styles.
    Does anyone else experience this issue? Can anyone shed some light on this?
    I need to get this site through to my client ASAP and would rather have a professional CSS file rather than one full of work-arounds.
    Adobe, please respond ASAP.
    Kind regards,
    Adam

    For two separate paragraph styles to work in one text container in muse,
    you need to use a hard return.
    You would use Character Styles if you want to use two specific styles inside one text container
    with just a "en space" between the text.
    This is based on using Muse generated CSS and not going into the CSS files after Muse generated the code and altering to modify the look.

  • Can't get template to preview in browser with style

    Hi, I made a template page ( hurray for the newbie!) I wrote
    some quick stuff in it just to test it out, but when I preview it
    has NO style. Only blank boxes where photo's should be, no columns,
    nada! If I recall I went to file>new> page from
    template>selected Main( which was the template name> clicked
    the Update button on that screen, then clicked create. page came up
    fine. I wrote some script, hit save as, wrote in something.html ,
    o.k., then tried to preview in browser, no style at all. I'm
    missing something, but what? Anyone else have this problem?
    Thanks!

    Let's see the page. There are several things I can think of
    that would
    account for this....
    1. Your link to the stylesheet is a root relative link, and
    you are not
    previewing with temp files enabled
    2. Your stylesheet is linked improperly
    3. Cosmic rays
    A glance at your code will likely reveal the cause.

  • Dreamweaver CSS styles page goes blank after I preview in browser

    Often, after I have previewed in browser, when I return to my CSS styles sheet it is blank. I need to then close Dreamweaver - it then crashes and reopen. This happens to often making it difficult to use dreamweaver. Any ideas other than re-installing or upgrading?
    Thanks
    adam

    Hi Ken,
    Unfortunately, this problem didn't go away with the re-install. It occurs maybe once every 5-10 previews.
    I have Dreamweaver CS5.5 and Windows 7 on my PC. Once the styles sheet blanks after I preview in browser I need to close Dreamweaver (at which point it crashes and I need to do it through Task Manager) and load up again.
    Regards,
    Adam

  • Changes to the design, html, css won't show up immediately in preview in browser

    No matter what I am working on, the browser displays the design correctly only after the first viewing. From there on if I make any changes to html or css, save it and try to preview it again it just shows the design from the previous time. Sometimes if I wait a little bit and try to preview it again it shows up correctly, but the wait time varies. The same thing happens if I actually go to the folder and open up Index.html. But if I preview it in adobe browser lab it always shows up right. It is getting really annoying because I can't easily preview the changes that I make to see if they are working.

    Sounds like a caching issue. You are saving the file and then using Preview In Browser and not just making a change to the DW file without saving and trying to refresh the browser, right?
    In FireFox, hti Ctrl + Shift + R
    In IE9, Hit F12, then Ctrl + R, then "Yes"
    To clear your browser cache.
