I know this is old, but just in case another newbie like myself runs into a preview problem.
Make sure your in design mode and not live mode. The (code_split_design_live) very top of Dreamweaver

window default is live switch to design.

Hi @defaulthxl0bwnipeex,

You resurrected an old thread on an unrelated topic.  I have branched this to a new topic for you. 

 

Real-Time Preview (F12) is rendered in an actual browser, not inside Dreamweaver.

 

The Document Toolbar (see screenshot) changes how you work with pages inside Dreamweaver.  

 

 

Live view is more accurate at CSS rendering. 

But less accurate Design view is faster for quick content editing.

Toggle them with Ctrl + Shift + F11 on your keyboard.

 

Post back if you have other questions.
