Sample page Error?

Question

So i was making my website using the like sample page template the dreamweaver gives you and i saved everything and restarted my pc and now it looks a lot different like before i had panels and stuff and now its all gone.

Ok so what I was using was the Starter Templates ----> Basic Layouts ---> basic - Single Page and now it looks nothing like that.

Like I said before, start over. Only this time do it right with a defined local site folder and immediately save your newly created starter page. Then DW will correctly save your assets and index page to your local site folder.

What you did was mess things up by 1) not defining a site and 2) not immediately saving your work to a folder on your hard drive. God only knows where your assets ended up.

Have you Defined a Site in DW?That is a necessary first step: GS-01: Defining a new site Without a Site Definition created and then chosen from your Files window dropdown menu, DW will do all sorts of strange things that will break links to .css and .js files. Those broken links will make pages that rely on css and javascript appear very broken.If you mean DW's panels are missing, you can reset them under Window > Workspace Layout > Reset '-workspace name-'
