How do i download my PHP site and edit it with Dreamweaver CS5?

Report · Nov 09, 2010

I have followed the instructions and installed MAMP for mac. Connected and downloaded the entire site.

When i open the index.htm file it appears with a URL for the main website.

When i place it in live view the website code and design appear, but i cant edit it.

When i copy the code and save it then open the index.htm file the design appears without the links to the flash, gifs, etc and looks pretty basic.

the page appears with the following meta tag

Can anyone help!

Thanks in advance.

Have you tried Inspect mode? If not try this:

Open your page in Split Design/Code view. Start Live View. Start Inspect mode.

Move the mouse around in Live View. Notice that the element under the mouse is automatically selected in Code View. Click on the element that you'd like to edit. Make your edit in Code View. Press F5 to refresh Live View.

Repeat, if necessary

HTH,
