I am using Dreamweaver CC 2017.
I have 4 images used as links on a web page. The links work fine when viewing page on the web or opening the page directly through browser. When I use Preview In Browser, one of the links does not work. I would appreciate any suggestions.
Are you using Live Preview, or Open in Browser?
Live Preview took over the F12 shortcut from the old Preview in Browser. It uses Adobe's servers to give you a live view of your page during editing. Because of that, certain links just don't ever seem to work right. It never works correctly for me, so I use the other option.
You may get more mileage from using the Open in Browser function. You can right click the file name in the Files window, or if your open documents are set as tabs across your Ap

Personally, I dislike Live Preview so much, I modified one of the program files to force DW to use Open in Browser on F12 (since the program doesn't allow remapping that in keyboard shortcuts).

Really, which file did you edit?

To re-map the old Preview in Browser (Open in Browser) to F12 rather than Live Preview...
1. Close DW and go to...
Windows: C: > Program Files > Adobe > Adobe Dreamweaver CC 2017 > configuration > Menus > MM
Mac: Applications > Adobe Dreamweaver CC 2017 > configuration > Menus > MM
(I think, I don't have a Mac to test)
2. Open the file "PIB_Dynamic.js"
2a. As always, make a backup in case something goes sideways. Add _old at the end of the file name.
3. Search for the text "dw.browseDocument". There are 3 spots with that code, but the first two are just comments. The right one should be on or about line 433, and change the text "isPIB" to "true"
The finished line of code will look like...
dw.browseDocument(dw.getDocumentPath('document'),theBrowser, "-1"/*help argument*/, false /*use temp doc*/, true);
4. Save the file to your desktop
5. Drag the file into the original location from Step 1. You will be prompted for your Admin credentials in order to make the copy/replacement
