Dreamweaver table outlines

Hi Guys I cant see my table outlines in Dreamweaver 2021. I am just seeing the Design View but cant see the outlines of the table so I can see how many rows and colums are on any of my tables, seems to have disappeared. I want to view them all, like viewing nested tables in older versions.

 

Hope someone can help.

    If this is happening on one particular file, then a code error will most likely be the culprit. Have a look at @Jon Fritz 's answer above.

    Hi @AnthB,

    It works fine for me in Design & Live (see screenshot).

     

    Copy & paste the following code into a new, blank document and try it.

    <!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title> Table Test</title>
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
<style>
table { border: 1px solid green }
td { border: 1px dotted silver }
</style>
</head>
<body>
<table width="400" border="1">
<tr>
<th>Heading</th>
<th>Heading</th>
<th>Heading</th>
</tr>
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>Something here</td>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
<td>Something here</td>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
<td>Something here</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</body>
</html>

     

    If you still need help, copy & paste your entire markup into a web forum reply with the </> icon.  Please DO NOT reply by email because your code won't come through.
