CSS styles are not rendering in Design view

I have a defined site. When I open pages in live view the css styles are not rendered. The site is built with a single .dwt file, which renders css correctly when I open it.

What the heck am I doing wrong?

Well, I figured out how to fix it. I opened the template and made a change to an editable region. Then I saved the template and updated all the files. Those file paths with the ../ are all corrected now. It would be nice to figure out what I did to cause this to happen.

Design view was coded in an era BC (Before CSS) and as such it can only be of assistance when locating/writing text when the text is hard to find in Code view.

To see the site working in Dreamweaver, switch to Live view.

My mistake for calling it design view. Old habits die hard.

I am in live view. So I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Here's a screenshot of a page:

Here's a screenshot of the .dwt:

It looks like the links in the finished page have not been translated correctly. Are you working in a defined site? See How to set up a testing server in Dreamweaver
