Dreamweaver Design View not displaying

Question

A few days ago, DW Design View was displaying a working web site for a local site I'm working on. I've managed to make some changes that prevent that from happening now. My site is also running a Coldfusion server, which was also functional and now is not.

While it's not displaying in Dreamweaver, my site displays both HTML and CFML properly on localhost—a fully functional site. So, I'm guessing I have a setting or folder issue.

Any help would be appreciated. Glad to supply all the details you want. I did that earlier but didn't save my post and lost the text.

Thanks!

To say it, once again, but in a different way, I didn't make any code changes within any html or cfm files that would produce this outcome. This is related to the operation of coldfusion server and Dreamweaver's creation of sites that sit atop servers, such as Coldfusion or Apache. I don't take snapshots of the current state of software.

Sorry to sound snippy, but responders are snatching for the low-hanging fruit, and I've previously stated that the issue is not with HTML or CFML. I can create an entirely new DW site and populate it with a pristine HTML page with "Hello World," and I have the problem I'm asking for assistance with.

A good idea is to understand the problem first, then offer solutions.

We only know what you tell us. So far, you haven't said much about the changes you made to your site.

Try Restore Preferences.

To view dynamic content in DW, switch from Design to Live view on the Document Toolbar.   See screenshot.
