Menu not displaying correct color in DW browser preview

I’m having an issue viewing an html file in Dreamweaver’s “Preview in Browser” option. The color is correct in the design view but is not rendering correctly in the browser preview. This is the case with all browsers, too. I’ve tried cleaning the browsers caches, restarting, etc., but it is not rendering the correct color. I do not have this issue with other files rendering correctly.

 

Attached are four images in an attempt to show what I’m talking about. The sample menu displays correctly in DW as citrus but when viewed in any browser the menu items are blue with a black hover. The images are as follows:

  • DW code.png
  • AMM interface.png 
  • DW design view.png (this is rendering correctly)
  • Firefox rendering (this is not correct?

 

And here’s a link to the way the sample menu should work ... https://projectseven.com/products/menusystems/amm/tutorials/color-set/index.htm.

I’ve followed up with the support team who built the menu but as of yet we’re still trying to resolve this. In the meantime, I remembered to post in the Dreamweaver user forum, too, just in case anyone else has had this problem before.

 

Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions to resolve this!

Thank you. The files were uploaded this morning, including the amm-custom-colors.css file (see pic) and here's the link to the test server ... rHere's the link to the test site ... https://renees15.sg-host.com/.  I appreciate the help and the questions. I've never had this type of issue before, and I'm thankful for the guidance here.

 

 

 

 


Yes but as I said the file is NOT FOUND, click on the link below, so IF you did upload it this morning you uploaded it in the wrong location or thought you uploaded it:

 

https://renees15.sg-host.com/amm-colors-sets/amm-custom-colors.css

 

Well your link is incorrect:

 

amm-colors-sets/amm-custom-colors.css

 

the css file is here:

https://renees15.sg-host.com/amm-custom/amm-custom-colors.css 

 

So change the link to point to the correct folder which is on the remote server.

This looks like an older legacy version of DW.  Upload your page to a public server so we can see it in our browsers.  Make sure to upload your CSS files too.

 

My guess without seeing the page is that your link pseudo-classes are defaulting to visited link states.  To reset link states back to unvisited, you would need to clear your browser's history & cache.

Thank you so much for your reply, Nancy!  My apologies for not including the version of DW; you're right, it's an older version - CS6. I have cleared the cache on all browsers that I have tried this on, several times, and restarted but it isn't working for me. I've never had this type of issue before.

 

Here's the link to the test site ... https://renees15.sg-host.com/.  Thank you again for checking things out! I really appreciate your help.

This is the governing style in p7AMM-01.css file on line 805.  Blue links with white text.

 

.p7AMM.amm-rootlinks-blue ul a {
background-color: rgb(69,114,150);
color: #FFF;
}
