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.

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?

Page won't preview in browser. Realy slow.

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?

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

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.

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.

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.)

     <div id="blogindex">
        <div id="blog_image1"><img src="images/bloglovers.gif" alt="Blog Lovers" /></div>
         <div id="blog_image2"><img src="images/gcblogheader350x70.jpg" alt="Gina Charles Blog" /></div>

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"

Site won't display correctly when 'Published' to Business Catalyst but does when 'Preview' in browse

Basically I have a subscription to Muse and with that the ability to host one site with Business Catalyst. When checking the first site I designed I'd use 'Preview in Browser' and the site occasionaly displayed incorrectly, so I changed my habits to publishing the work-in-progress site to the BC url with this current site.
Unfortunately there are multiple display problems with doing this; the two images below show the difference between 'Publish' to the BC domain and 'Preview site in browser'.
I've cleared the cache of the browser multiple times and used both Firefox and Safari and the problem still remains. I'm assuming it's a problem with Business Catalyst?
Does anyone have a solution for this? Has data become corrupted in BC, and if so is there a way of 'flushing' the data held on the BC site clean to start from scratch?
Would really appreciate some help here as it's impossible to show my client the current state of the site
Thanks in advance
Phil

Hi Phil
I checked the site and i can see all the images in page.
Can you try to check with a different browser or if possible on a different system or device ?

Can't read or write some files, internet is failing, youtube won't load, software I tried to install was in Slovenian, not dutch or english like in my systempreferences settings, pictures and files won't preview with spacebar, etc. Malware?

Specs:
iMac 10.8.5
3,4 GHz Intel Core i7
32 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Can't read or write some files, internet is failing, youtube won't load, security software I tried to install was in Slovenian, not dutch or english like in my systempreferences settings, pictures and files won't preview with spacebar and are randomly corrupted, when I entered something in the Youtube searchbar (when it was still working) it send me to a site with sexadds.
I tried restart my iMac and when I was logged back in, my dock preferences were reset.
Also tried to download some security software to check my Mac for malware, but when I did, I tried several, I got a notification that said something like 'dumpfiles (don't know if this is the right translation...) damaged'.
I'm taking screenshots from all the weird notifications I get and even three quarters off the screenshots I took in the last three hours are already unreadable.
It started this morning when I tried opening a Premiere Pro file on which I worked the night before.
When I tried opening it, it said the file was damaged and could not be openend.
I tried opening it with AE or importing the file in a new project but nothing helped.
When I tried looking for autosaves, this is the really weird part, there were none.
Even though there are autosaves from my other projects, this one was completely gone.
It looked like the day before never happened on my computer.
Also when I openend Premiere all the recent projects had been wiped.
So at first I thought it was a Premiere Pro failure.
But than, later on the day, I tried loading some RAW files from my compact flash card.
This is where I would get an error (error -36) which said some data cannot be read or written.
I tried importing the files with a view different technics, from dragging to importing via Lightroom and I succeeded with Image Browser.
But when I tried moving the files to an other folder the same error occurred.
While dealing with this issue I wanted to put on some soothing music on youtube.
This is when the next weird thing occurred: youtube wasn't completely loading in Chrome. I refreshed a view times, checked the internet connection and still no difference.
When I tried in Safari it did work but when I clicked enter on the searchbar in Youtube, a page with sexadds appeared (I didn't install AdBlock in Safari...).
I read about this 'phishing' where you are redirected to a site were a possible malware installment can take place...
I don't know if it's connected to any of the problems I've been having but I just never experienced this on a mac, I have been a Mac user for 10 years now.
On top of it all, internet started working worse and worse and now it's not even working at all. I had to fill in the password over and over, normally it remembers.
Just like my system preferences, all the preferences I had with Chrome where also reset.
Also somewhere in between I got this notification: Mac OS X must restore library to run programs. Type your password to allow.
To me this is all very weird and suspicious. I have clearly no idea what's going on. Could this be another sort of trojan horse or malware?
Some background info which could be helpful for solving this mystery:
two months ago the one year old Fusion Drive in my iMac just broke out of nowhere.
I got it replaced by a qualified apple repair store.
When I got my computer back, all the files where gone.
I got on the internet without AdBlock installed yet.
A game or whatever it was, can't clearly remember, got installed by accident.
I deleted it immediately.
Only two weeks later, I couldn't log in to my account. It didn't recognize my password and username.
So I brought my mac back to the store.
Here the repair guy said it was a minor thing and he just needed to reconnect my account. He also mentioned he found a downloaded game name Sparta and it probably had something to do with the error.
I asked him; could it be a virus? He replied no way.
I don't know why I couldn't be a virus, just because it's a mac doesn't mean it cannot be done.
So today I tried installing anti virus software (such as avast- was in a weird language looked like slovenian, clamxav - was in slovenian) but I couldn't install them.
PLEASE help me! I don't know what to do anymore, I work fulltime and I need my computer, I have no time to bring it in for repair, are there other perhaps easier ways?
Could this be the work of a virus or a malware? Or is it a disk permissions issue?

It sounds like you may have multiple problems, but none of them are likely to be caused by malware.
First, the internet-related issues may be related to adware or a network compromise. I tend to lean more towards the latter, based on your description of the problem. See:
http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/baddns.php
http://www.adwaremedic.com/kb/hackedrouter.php
If investigation shows that this is not a network-specific issue, then it's probably adware. See my Adware Removal Guide for help finding and removing it. Note that you mention AdBlock as if it should have prevented this, but it's important to understand that ad blockers do not protect you against adware in any way. Neither would any kind of anti-virus software, which often doesn't detect adware.
As for the other issues, it sounds like you've got some serious corruption. I would be inclined to say it sounds like a failing drive, except it sounds like you just got it replaced. How did you get all your files back after the new drive was installed?

Dreamweaver CC: Preview in Browser Not Working

I am new to Dreamweaver CC, but I've used other versions of Dreamweaver extensively.
Since I've installed CC, by Preview in Browser has not worked. When I click it, and choose my browser (this issue occurs with ANY browser I choose), it opens my chosen browser and then tells me the page cannot be found. I know the issue is where DW is pointing my browser. For example, if i'm working in my contact.php file in DW and tell it to preview in broswer, the address that shows up in my search bar is "contact.php/"
Now obviously, that won't point my browser to any usable address. So how do I fix the issue? I've tried looking through all kinds of settings but have found nothing.
Someone please help me!

You realize you must have a local testing server installed and defined in your Site settings in order to preview PHP pages, right?
Which Local Testing Server are you using?
Is it running?
Do you have it pointing to your localhost? See screenshots:

Background image doesn't preview in browser

Is there something I'm not understanding about my Dreamweaver
Site settings? I'm trying to code a site using CSS which has a
background image in a div but it won't preview in the browser. When
the file is linked to an external style sheet, it displays in
Dreamweaver's design view but not Preview in browser. But when the
styles are included in the file itself, it works. It's a dynamic
site configured for PHP MySQL. Everything in the style sheet seems
to be working except this. I've tried site relative and document
relative links. I even tried posting the image to a live server and
linking it with an absolute url.
Here is the path structure:
BambooJewelry/index.php
BambooJewelry/cw3/assets/css/bamboo.css
BambooJewelry/cw3/assets/images/home/logo.gif
Here is the code in the css file:
div#logo {
background-image: url(../images/home/logo.gif);
background-repeat: no-repeat;
width: 700px;
height: 73px;
Here is the syntax for the linked style sheet in the
index.php file:
<link href="cw3/assets/css/bamboo.css" rel="stylesheet"
type="text/css">
As to the site settings, the local root folder is
Macintosh HD:Library:WebServer:Documents:BambooJewelry:
the http: address is set to
http://localhost/BambooJewelry/
Any help with this is sincerely welcomed!

make sure you're not overriding that rule somewhere else in
your site or farther down the style sheet or with a more specific
rule. Rules directly in a page are given more importance than rules
in an external sheet.
