Hi all,

I have been making my own website based off of a pre existing  website template.

however in dreamweaver, in the live view the website shows how i want it to look, however when i save the files and open the site in a browser, it is completely different in every way.

the above image is of the site in real-time preview

the below image is the live window in dreamweaver

does anyone know why this is happening.

    Are you working from a Defined Site?

    Define a site

    What you're seeing is usually caused by one or more dependent file links being absolute paths to locations on your hard drive, rather than document-relative. Absolute file paths are typically caused in DW when you haven't defined a site, or if your files are outside of your defined site's root folder.

    Your css file link is either incorrect or not on your server.

    That is just a guess though, without a link to the site we cannot say better.
