CS 3 - design view unavailable

Jun 13, 2012 7:48 AM

Tags: #cs3 #error #image #html #dreamweaver

I have "inherited" a site and when I open the pages in Dreamweaver CS3, I cannot see anything in Design View.

 

All the code is there in Code View, and the site works. Does anyone have a solution for this?

    Just maybe, the html has been scripted within a server side language.

     

    The best way to get assistance is to post a link to your site.

    Can you show us your code?

     

    As Gramps said, your site may be using server-side scripts which can't be parsed locally unless you install a local testing server.

    Goodness.  No wonder you don't see anything.  DW has no idea how to render a page with two sets of <head> tags and two sets of <html> tags.  And further there is embedded PHP code - does the file have a *.php filename?
