So I move my code to my SSD and my css file is still not being found and live view is still broken.

So my problem came down to the fact that I had an <img src="String with Spaces" ....> This error caused the live view to quit working. The strange part was that the only part of live view that did work was the image. It was nicely displayed, but the rest of live view was not displayed correctly or not at all.

Fixing the broken <img src="String with Spaces"..> returned Live view to work properly. 

It would have been nice if Dreamweaver had generated an error calling my attention to the problem.  It flags many other errors, why not this one.

There are some things that code linting alone does not pick up. The Output panel does not report spaces as a problem, maybe because it's not a problem for all document types.

 

In any case, it's good practice to run code Validation frequently and especially when rendering is not as expected.

Window > Results > Validation > check current document.

Are you saying it is too complex for computer code to read the document type and then process document A differently from document B?

@ReedBHaslam,

So that we may better assist you, please answer the following questions:

  • Which version of DW?

  • Are you working within a defined local site folder that resides on your primary hard drive? 
  • Does your CSS file reside in your local site folder?
  • Are you working with valid HTML & CSS code?

    Everything was working great until in updated to Dreamweaver 21.1, since then I've not been able to get a live view that works.

     

    I tried going back to the last 20.x but somehow saw the exact same results, which made no sense to me.

    Did you restart your computer after updating to DW 21?

    Did you Restore Preferences?

     

    Can you copy & paste this code into a new, blank document to see if it displays on your system?

    <!doctype html>
