I deleted portions of the bootstrap basic navbar, now it's broken.

[Nicholas Kreifels]

I deleted portions of the html for the bootstrap basic navbar. I did it wrong. I was following a tutorial. When I tried to get those parts back, the code will show up, but the elements are no longer displayed. How do I get it to behave like it used to? I tried creating a brandnew website, used insert to add the bootstrap navbar, all the code is there, but it is still displaying the way it did when I deleted parts from a previous practice website.

What display are you referring to? Design view or Live view?

[Nicholas Kreifels]

In Live view. I was completely unaware of design view till I read your reply.

I fixed it, by uninstalling Dreamweaver and reinstalling. But I'm about to risk causing the problem again, because I really like that edited navbar from the tutorial I was following, so I hope there is a fix that does not involved reinstalling Dreamweaver.

It depends on what you are changing.

I deleted the dropdown and the search form. So that I could just have a few links. It's working now I deleted the correct items that the tutorial said to delete in the correct way, so I got it working. But if I decided to use the bootstrap navbar in a future project, I hope I don't have to uninstall and re-install Dreamweaver to get those parts back again. But I guess all is well at this point. Thank you for responding!

Don't bite off more than you chew. Before changing Bootstrap, understand how basic Bootstrap works first.  Bootstrap is very well documented online.  See links below.  And post back with any specific questions you may have.
