CSS styles are not rendering in Design view

[Crystal Marini]

I have a defined site. When I open pages in live view the css styles are not rendered. The site is built with a single .dwt file, which renders css correctly when I open it.

What the heck am I doing wrong?

Design view was coded in an era BC (Before CSS) and as such it can only be of assistance when locating/writing text when the text is hard to find in Code view.

To see the site working in Dreamweaver, switch to Live view.

My mistake for calling it design view. Old habits die hard.

I am in live view. So I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Here's a screenshot of a page:

Here's a screenshot of the .dwt:

It looks like the links in the finished page have not been translated correctly. Are you working in a defined site? See How to set up a testing server in Dreamweaver

Yes, I am working in a defined site. Ahhh! Very cool Mercedes!!!

Do I need a testing server if I have an actual server connected? My machine is on its last legs and I really don't want to install anything else on it right now. The above shot was from a copy of my live site, as I am creating another site using that as a template. Here is the original site with a defined site / server set up. It still has the same problem. I re-opened the file index.html in the original site, just fyi...

When I see

it points to the links not having been updated when you create the page from the template. The same has undoubtedly happen to the links to your style sheets and javascript. You could go into Code view and change the links to suit, this means removing ../ from the links. An easy task when using find and replace.

Hmmm, when I create a new page from the template, everything displays correctly.

Well, I figured out how to fix it. I opened the template and made a change to an editable region. Then I saved the template and updated all the files. Those file paths with the ../ are all corrected now. It would be nice to figure out what I did to cause this to happen.
