Help please! I was fiddling about trying to change a background colour of a table in CSS and all my text has disappeared across the site. It won't let me type or paste anything it and no text can be viewed. This is only on one site, another I have built and is live is fine so I have just corrupted this one's Dreamweaver settings. All my files are fine if I open them without Dreamweaver. Grateful for any help!

    Disappearing text???  Check your stylesheet.  What CSS color and background are you using?  For example, white color on white background will make text seem to disappear. 

     

    Also critical errors in your markup can make text vanish.  Be sure to validate code and fix reported errors.

    I presume you mean an illusionist who goes by the same name as a Charles Dickens character?

    This could point to a corrupted Dreamweaver cache file. Try

     

    Failing that, have a look at Reset Dw app preferences: https://helpx.adobe.com/dreamweaver/kb/restore-preferences-dreamweaver.html
