The latest copy of DW is very unstable. It constantly crashes. Also when I click on one of my linked file such as .css or .js that file does not show properly. Please fix this edition of Dreamweaver.

Not certain I understand your request.

All my css links are in the template head (interior.dwt):

I don't have any links in the bio.html except for the link to the template (interior.dwt).

Here is my bio.html head:

<!DOCTYPE html>

<head>

<!-- Basic Page Needs

================================================== -->

<title>About Catherine Pearson</title>

<!-- Mobile Specific Metas

================================================== -->

<!-- CSS

================================================== -->

<!-- JS

================================================== -->

<!--[if lt IE 9]>

<![endif]-->

$(document).ready(function(){

// Code for Mobile Menu, shows up on small screen resolutions

$('.expand-menu').click(function(e){

e.preventDefault();

$(this).toggleClass('open');

if($('nav.small.top ul').is(':hidden')){

$('nav.small.top ul').slideDown();

}else{

$('nav.small.top ul').slideUp();

}

});

// --

// Script to init slider. You can edit it from "/js/slider.js"

$('.slider').startSlider();

// --

});

</script>

}

</script>

</head>

Hope this makes sense.

You child page contains the same link path as your Template which does not look correct to me.

Assuming this is your site structure:

about.html

bio.html

index.html

-CSS

skeleton.css

base.css

custom.css

-Stylesheets

modulestylesheets.css

-Template

main.dwt

The path in your child pages should look like this css/base.css without the leading dots and slash.

How are you creating child pages? Did you go to File > New > Site Templates > Create? And then Save and name your newly created child page?

Still having the same issue.

When I opened up DW this morning. I got the same result as before.

I think my site settings are correct.

Here is a screen shot of my DW in split view of my custom.css.

What does the code for the link in your <head> section look like for the custom.css file?

It runs well for me on Windows 7 and Windows 10.

Could you be a little more specific about what you mean by unstable, what you're seeing in dependent files, and your OS?

I bet the contributors here can help get you up and running with a little troubleshooting.

Unstable: It crashes often.

What I see in dependent files (code view): grey/nothing. A message saying, "file not on local disk", but the file is on my local disk. When I click on the "get" link, I get a message saying "the file is not in a defined site".

Thanks. Hope someone can help.

That error usually occurs when you haven't defined a site in the program, or are attempting to edit files that are linked externally. Even if you're just using DW for html emails, it really wants a Site Definition set up in order to function correctly.

Have you set one up yet?

Define a site

...and is it selected in your Files window?
