Question

Communication between browser and files...

Hey there...

I've run into a small problem. Obviously, I can update an HTML file (for example) and then, when I refresh my browser, I see that the change I made, reflected on the page.

But, how about making a change in a browser and having that update be reflected in the HTML file (could be any file, such as CSS, LESS, SaSS, etc)?

Is there any way to 'communicate' this way between on either a locally hosted, virtual server or a cloud host (that I have read/write access to?

Thanks for any help you may offer!

The lack of replies could indicate that this is, as yet, not possible.

Dreamweaver does have Live View which is a rendering engine based on Chrome. In other words, it is a 'browser' within Dreamweaver that allows you to make the changes that automatically changes the code. You can also change the style rules within Live view, but pre-compiled files (Less/Sass) will not be affected.

Please visit the Dreamweaver forum for more on Dreamweaver.

Wappler is the DMXzone-made Dreamweaver replacement and includes the best of their powerful extensions, as well as much more!
