Bootstrap navbar no formatting

Report · Jun 12, 2017

Hello,

I'm simply trying to add a bootstrap navbar - the default one - and it inserts the code but there is ZERO formatting or css applied. What am I missing? I have a styles.css sheet and a boostrap.css sheet. Shouldn't the snippet insert the css formatting into one of these automatically?

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Which version of DW do you have?

Some versions of DW neglected to include the classes. See below.

<nav class="navbar navbar-inverse"> (light text on dark background)

<nav class="navbar navbar-default"> (dark text on light background)

2017.1 is what I have - should be the latest and up to date version I just applied the most recent update.

Have you Defined a Site and Saved the file to it?

Also, are you seeing the issue in Design View, Live View or the browser (or all of the above)?

I deleted everything and re established the site and folders and now it is working. I don't know what was causing the issue but luckily I was not too far along. I'm sure it was user error somehow!

I just tried it with a Bootstrap document I had open. Working with the latest compiled & minified Bootstrap 3.7 and latest jQuery. Document contains no code errors as denoted by the green error indicator.

Insert > Bootstrtap Components > Navbar > Basic Navbar. It works fine for me.
