When I try to preview in the latest Dreamweaver I get this in my browser "You tried to access an external HTML page, which can not be opened on the device for preview. Open the page in Dreamweaver to preview the page on the device." How can I fix this?

thanks...

Personally, I just turn it back into the old Preview in Browser in the Preferences...

Edit > Preferences > Real Time Preview > check the box at the top for Default to static br
