Hello,

i seem to have lost the ability to select an element in live view and it would select it in code view as well and vice versa.Also after selecting something it would normally show some options in the css designer, but now nothing happens. I've tried relinking my css file but nothing worked. this only happens on a specific website.

I would appreciate any answers,

thank you

Try Deleting Corrupted Cache.

If that doesn't help, try Restore Preferences

Update: Problem is resolved.It was a web font script in <head> that was causing it! thanks for the help!

Code errors cause DW to choke and some features won't work right until the code indicator shows a green checkmark.    If you see a red X, look at your Output panel for a description of the code error.   See screenshot.

To use the Validation tool, go to Window > Results > Validation.  Check current document.
