Re: Preview in Browser

is the page opening in the browser, but the images are X missing?

simple fix- dreamweaver preferences->Preview in Browser->checkmark
"preview
using temp files"

what the cause is: you made the image paths with site root relative paths.
They start with a leading /slash. Site root relative only means something
when the site is on a web server. Document relative paths are the most
portable.

> Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage

this is during a local F12 preview?

What is the url in the browser when it comes up with this 404 file not
found?

guess: you enabled a Testing Server in this site definition by accident.
If you don't have asp or php or coldfusion coding, you don't need a testing
server.

go into the site def for editing.
click the Advanced tab, and set testing server access to none.

in the stupid wizard- set type of site to not dynamic or plain html

if you don't have asp or php, you don't need a testing server.

Go into the site defintion, and click the Advanced tab.
click the Testing Server section.
set the "access method" to NONE.

that will sort it out.

Here is the message I get

 I tried to follow along with the directions here but It didn't quite work 
right...I think maybe a setting of somekind is en/disabled
