When creating a newsletter, for example, I use absolute links to integrate images from the web server:

In the live view these images are displayed correctly, but not in the design view. What could be the reason?

Many thanks for a hint!

DW has always had issues with displaying remote images for me.

Because of that, I've always worked with local copies of the images and place them within in a DW Site Definition made specifically for a given newsletter.

As a final step before transferring code to the email service, I add in the necessary bits to create absolute paths to my server held images, with DW's Find & Replace tool.
