    Try validating your code and fix any reported errors.

     

    CSS validator - http://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/

    HTML validator - http://validator.w3.org/

     

    If that doesn't solve your problem, you'll need to upload your page and supporting files to a web server space you control and post a link here.

    When I had that problem it was because DW needed to find the CSS docs -- so you need point DW to those docs. Even if CSS is internal, at the start of the same html page, I believe DW's default is to only look externally (so then the default needs to change).

    Uh... where on Earth did you get this idea?

     

    Dreamweaver can see CSS from an external file, embedded at the top of the page or inline with the HTML code -- assuming the code/file paths don't have errors in them.  That is the default.  So there is nothing to change.

     

    If Design View can't render the page at all, something is wrong with the code.

    DW will find CSS when the job is correctly set-up,  Layout CSS default settings should also be checked out. I inherited this job and experienced the same display issues as JeanaNYC.

     

    YES file path was broken, NO there wasn't anything wrong with the code itself (which may, or may not, be the same issue for JeanaNYC):
